Part 2 of my journey to save one of my favorite games back in my childhood from getting lost to time is live!
This time, we'll start digging into the game files, assess the damage, and plan our route ahead.

No joke! The #Commodore64 is officially back and for the first time in over 30 years, it’s being sold brand new again.
The #C64Ultimate BASIC Beige is a faithful modern recreation: FPGA-based motherboard, full support for original peripherals, including real disk drives, datasettes, CRTs, and even those old C64 cartridges.
It boots like the original, plays 10.000+ classic #games, and ships with a cassette-style USB packed with demos, music, and full games.
Starts shipping Oct–Nov 2025. Preorders open now.

The first OFFICIAL Commodore 64 built in over 30 years…in a translucent case with “game-reactive” color changing built in.

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction
I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.
An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.
A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.
I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.

I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):
- Updated #curl to 8.14.1
- Updated #mbedTLS to 3.6.4
- Enabled HTTP 3xx redirections
Grab it at https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon
Screenshot is showing both, the DOS ( @DOSBox_Staging ) and the the win32 version (Win10).

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.
Download link (Mac, Windows, Linux): https://snowemu.com
Documentation link: https://docs.snowemu.com

Sometimes, it is all about perseverance.
And in some cases, a problem persists for 20 years until you are able to solve it.
Trying to save an incredible game by IJsfontein that is full of very personal childhood memories is my current "this will never work" problem.
And I’m slowly getting there.

Stay tuned for Part 2!
I'm on a mission to save one of my childhood favorites from getting lost to time. We know what's going wrong. And we know how to fix it.
After more than 20 years, "Masters of the Elements" by the Dutch studio IJsfontein is working again! Natively. On Windows 11.
But I'm not entirely done yet.

We are happy to share the preprint and slides of the paper "The Medley Interlisp Project: Reviving a Historical Software System" by Eleanor Young et al.:
https://interlisp.org/documentation/young-ccece2025.pdf
https://interlisp.org/documentation/young-ccece2025-slides.pdf
It tells the first 5 years of the Medley Interlisp Project and discusses what other historical software recovery groups can learn from our experience. The paper was presented at IEEE CCEECE 2025 in Vancouver and accepted for publication.
