I've finished up the initial release of BASIC Wrangler. You can find it here. It's very much super-alpha quality, and it probably only works with the Battle System Test, but it's a start.
OK, so I've been putting more work into getting emulators installed on my computer again, and I decided to take a quick little dip into OS-9 for the Tandy Color Computer 3. Or to be more precise, NitrOS-9 . There are some pre-made VHD files out there, but those are years old, and the installation files from Robert Gault are even older. (UPDATE: There are pre-built images with lots of extra stuff included available from NitrOS-9 Ease of Use .) So, I played around with the NitrOS-9 build files, and compiled some installation disks based on the latest sources. I've put a video guide on how to set up your own VHD up on my YouTube page available here . The actual installation disks, with written instructions and a source code patch are up on my Dropbox here .
It's been a while since my last post, but I've finally come up with an easy way to set up RetroPie. RetroPie is nice, but it's got a lot of text configuration files to wade through. The process I lay out here makes it far easier to get a working RetroPie install set up with lots of pre-configured niceties.
This is the belated first part of a series of posts on getting a Raspberry Pi working with RetroPie for some sweet retro gaming. The Raspberry Pi is a fun, way too small computer that is great for all sorts of stuff, but especially for playing old video games with. It should be noted that I bought mine near the end of 2020, when they were actually available in stores. I also bought an Argon One Pi 4 case for it, and so it stays (relatively) cool when I overclock it. Unfortunately, I lost the piece of paper where I had the overclock values written down, and so I started over from scratch. The following process is how I figured out the overclocking values I'll use, and you can too if you follow along. This is aimed at the Pi 4 or 400, but some of it should be applicable to the Pi 3 and below with some tweaking to the numbers used. Be sure to have a paper and pencil handy for writing the speeds you've achieved down. The first thing you'll need (aside from the Pi and a case, o...
