I’m terrible at designing enclosures. Seriously, it’s not my thing. But that’s the beauty of this community: people step in with amazing contributions. Check out this great case designed for the castellated version of the ACSI2STM. It fits like a glove and looks clean! I’ll add

Sometimes testing can be a real pain in the ***, especially when you’re dealing with wide address and data buses, and your low-end logic analyzer just can’t keep up with those fast, tightly-timed bursts. I didn’t want to break the bank on a high-end analyzer, so I was thrilled

Designed a case for the latest pcb revision of the SidecarTridge for the #AtariST by SidecarTridge It emulates harddisks, floppy drives, cartridges and some other stuff all in a very convenient cartridge form factor. I'll release the design soon to Printables.

Testing the case. Really awesome. I have printed the button in translucent PETG and it looks cool! The LED shines through the button as seen in the MegaSTE picture below.

The latest version of the SWITCHER application -still in development- for the TOS Emulator now includes support for the new Raspberry Pi RP2350 boards with 512KB of RAM. It also remains compatible with the previous RP2040-based version with 256KB. Additionally, this new release

Vibe coding the new GEMDRIVE for the latest firmware release of the @SidecarTridge Multidevice and giving a try to the new VSCode agent with Copilot using the o4-mini model. And I crashed it!

So far so good. All Kickstarts boot and the #Commodore #Amiga 500 not only boots, it works without any kind of glitch or failure. Workbench, demos, games… the only thing it does not work is an EmuTOS ROM for the Amiga 😳 I was lucky enough to have a version 5 Amiga 500 with the

This is my “safe electroshock setup”. I know this might sound a bit ridiculous, but I’ve been shocked multiple times by the PSU while reaching for the reset button on my Atari ST during development for the Multidevice and ROM emulator. I’m no Rafael Nadal when it comes to

I want to share this quick and dirty project I’ve been working on: a low-cost power supply for the Atari ST/STE/Mega ST, built from cheap, widely available USB-C Power Delivery modules (hello, AliExpress). I built this primarily out of necessity… and, well, personal safety.

The Kickstart Emulator for the #Commodore #Amiga is now 100% electronically functional, and the firmware runs like a dream. Absolutely wild. 🧩 The prototype riser board even fits neatly inside the A500 case. 💥 Bonus: EmuTOS is now working flawlessly! Check out the pics — it’s
