BASIC Wrangler v0.02.0

OK, I've released version 0.02.0 of BASIC Wrangler. It's actually somewhat usable now. It also has a GUI, as you can see. It might be worth playing around with, but I'm probably going to end up rewriting half of it before I'm done, and so the formatting of input files will almost certainly change, which will require re-conversion of the files.

CoCo 3 NitrOS-9 Emulator VHD Install Disks

Image
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 .

Overclocking the Raspberry Pi 4 for Fun and Games

 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

Mac Emulator Videos

 So, I finally finished the Mac Emulator Setup videos I'd been working on. It took a lot longer than I had planned to edit them together, but they're up now. It may be a while before I start on the next set of emulator setup videos, as my DVR is way too full right now, and I also want to get the platinum trophy for NieR Replicant at some point. Also, here's a link to a set of Mini vMac emulators I compiled. It includes instructions about how to compile versions of it for yourself if you want to, but the ones in the file should work pretty well, albeit the default speed setting is to a realistic speed, so you may want to change the speed when installing stuff.
