Turns out I just derped when putting everything back together and hadn't fully plugged in one of the small neckboard connector cables. Now it's looking all nice and correct again. Very nice news for me, as CRT monitors have a lot of capacitors 😅.

New video! Inspecting and refurbishing a very special (to me) Commodore 64 that has been in the Beta family since the 1980s.

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

Still one of my favourite 3D prints, ever.
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.

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.
