The postman brought me this today



I was surprised it arrived so quickly from the States using a cheap postage option. Its such a cute little console I must say though its such a shame that even though it has RGB capabilities these SNES2 models were never wired up for RGB. It can be modded but I ain't doing it. AV is fine. Its not like I don't already have an NTSC SNES1 and another NTSC Super Famicom to satisfy my 60Hz RGB needs

Not so much of a what I got today, but had a go at making something this evening. I was asked recently if I could machine replacement joystick tops for the Enterprise 64/128 systems using an STL file available online. I'm not sure if that project has copyright or patent so I looked at some photos of the joystick and came up with my own design. Apparently these tend to be mislaid easily? I did this one in aluminium as a test piece.

Going to have myself some Pi this weekend.

Nice Protek! It's a fun little device.

I'm picking up my new 55" television this evening. I thought about the 60" but decided it wouldn't fit on the wall as nice as the 55" will. It should be a nice upgrade from the 42" 60Hz model I've had for quite a while.

Who is bringing the popcorn?

 

[SkydivinGirl]

You can! Better get on your way soon because it's a 14 hour or more road trip.

I bought a 55" LG led tv two years ago. At first I had the feeling that the tv was way to big for the view distance (about 3.5 meters). Strange but now the tv seems to me like a pc monitor rather than a big and wide tv. I wish I had bought a projector instead.

Ed,

That came out awesome!

Excellent work. Maybe you should reduce the size of the hole by 0.2mm and thread it? Then people will stop loosing them

Lol, yeah I thought that as well . Or a screw down through the centre with a cap, although more complex.

Me and the brother in law went to the event in Leeds 21st March,

got myself a few boxed Amiga Games, a boxed clean Snes (Mario all stars) + pilot wings cart & the Mrs a Goonies bag.

We got in trouble with the local authorities.
These guys are amazing and their costumes look so genuine.

That's the brother in law in trouble

My Test Bench has a newish tenant, an Agilent 1670G, 136 channel logic analyzer (a real one, not a pretend one like salaeaea / usbee etc) with the deep memory option and pattern generator option.

This thing is a beast, timing analysis, state analysis, triggering like you couldnt imagine. crazy awesome. Enough channels it view the all the pins on a 68000, as well as the memory bus and perhiperals and more. 136 channels of awesome.

Nicest thing is, it has LAN capability so I can get its X window screen on my desktop over lan and control it there. very cool that it has X-Windows built in (and its not running unix, its a custom HP operating system running on a 68EC20 with 8mb RAM. whole thing runs off ROM even tho it has a ibm deathstar ide disk drive and a crazy format floppy, and something dating back to 1970's rocky mountain basic.)

Oh I also got this 3in1 Mario, Tetris and World Cup cartridge for NES

For some reason I can't view the image, not even when I click the zoom.

I've worked with one of these in the past. A very powerful tool, but quite complicated to set up too. What options did you get with it?

In case you haven't had one of these before, be prepared for a suprise... It's unbelievably loud when it's running.

strange that it does not show up. it has the deep memory option and the pattern generator. i have all 8 pods with fly lead adaptors, etc. yeah its loud. The triggering is crazy powerful.
