Interesting fault: After playing around with my childhood C64 breadbin from 1983, the screen suddenly lost all contrast and went very dark. #retrocomputing#commodore#c64 1/3
And there we go again! Larry 3 is on. Never played this one either! From the get go it already seems a bit more polished and seems to have more of a musical score, which is nice
I finally finished Sam‘s Journey and I must say it’s an extremely well done game. I „only“ got 63% score, so retrying a couple of the levels will definitely be on the menu! #commodore#c64#retrogaming#SamsJourney
To my #commodore#amiga bubble: How can I pin the icons of a folder after doing "Clean up". The "fixate" entry doesn't help. After every restart the icons are all jumbled...
After getting the #Commodore#C64 and #C128 running again, the next device to repair is the #C1571.
It had #corrosion and #rust on the main board and the power supply is beyond repairworthiness. I'd replace the latter with a #meanwell RD-35 with 5 and 12 volt output.
One #diode was rusty, a few traces needed #cleaning and five #resistor looked bad. Hope the black hybrid chip is still okay.
Sadly, the lower read head seems to be broken, my work might've been in vain. #floppydrive#retrocomputer
Here a comparison of the old #powersupply and the replacement.
I already cleaned the old board, removed two rusted diodes, and unsoldered the ICs, but there might be more defective components, that's why I decided to replace it with something completely different.
Still unsure if I'll leave the cable binders for keeping it in place. #commodore#c1571#retrocomputer#restoration#meanwell#psu
Did you used to make computer games using STOS or AMOS?
I tried but I was too young to afford the resources I needed and ended up using copies pirated from friends. Even so it was a much better experience than the other development environments I was using at the time.
In 1994, our puzzle game Clockwiser was released for Amiga (OCS and AGA), CD32 console, MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.
