Use a Raspberry Pi, old computer or VM as network storage for different retro computers and consoles - danmons/retronas

Jan 30, 2022

RetroNAS is a tool to convert a Raspberry Pi, old computer or VM into a multi-system, retro focused NAS. It can connect to LOTS of things. Read this thread to find out more, or check the wiki:

Further to my HDR rant, It just dawned on me that the people who wrote OpenColorIO and OpenImageIO were working for Sony at the time. And yet the Sony PS5 can't use any of these amazing tools to share a HDR screenshot. Left hand, talk to right hand.

2023 and I still can't take HDR screenshots on my PS5. Meanwhile OpenEXR was released to the public as open source two whole decades ago in 2003.

Another big revelation in the quest to visualize the proper amount of overscan for a given CRT. The equal percentage viewable area patterns many high-end monitors produce don't mark out a 4:3 area. That's obvious once the math sinks in, so I did a ton of photography...

Popped a vid of Quite the tale regarding this setup! youtu.be/KA4Z7n_I14A shoutout to

And yeah, yeah. I know.

I try not to rant about Twitter on Twitter, but these recent redesigns utterly suck. I've mostly dumped Instagram over non-linear timelines. Maybe it's time to go retro and just return to personal self-hosted blogs.

My #MiSTerFPGA adaptive scanline settings on my old Samsung 1080p HDTV compared to my Sony Trinitron CRT. 1920 pixels isn't enough resolution to split pixels in the same nb of horizontal dots you'd see on an aperture grille, but the effect on MiSTer is still really convincing!

Here are some bonus pics with those gorgeous scanlines. 😍 1️⃣ RF 2️⃣ Composite (4/4)

Happy 40th birthday to the Apple Lisa. As a gift, we get the source code! Very cool.

These are AU$350 RRP, and that is utterly insane. I can buy an entire Ryzen based mini PC for that money.

I openly challenge anyone who thinks Dark Souls and Elden Ring are the epitome of video gaming challenge to spend a week with Wizball.

If this thread upsets you, I strongly recommend the book "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber. It's probably the most honest look at the modern workplace ever written.

Boomers OK, but Gen Z the weakest link for business cybersecurity, survey finds

Jan 16

FWIW, I'm a GenXer, and very much a fan of the lessons I can learn from my elders, and think the future is in good hands with the youth. We really need to knock off the fighting between age groups. We may as well fight over horoscopes.

Well the good news is that the media has stopped shitting on Millennials for a minute. The bad news is that everything wrong with the world is now GenZ's fault, apparently. Will intergenerational warfare ever end?

abc.net.au

Small business owners could be putting their businesses at risk by relying on younger employees to manage their cybersecurity, with a survey showing they are among the least cyber safe in the country.

I am very excited.

OK, solved my RPi vkQuake problem. I'd forgotten how much I loved the raw visuals of this game. Dark, gritty textures, no filtering. Someone needs to do a brand new horror game on this engine.

Jan 15

I'm no doctor, but something doesn't look right with vkQuake on Raspberry Pi lately.

Thanks MAME for letting me play the games I lost from my childhood, even if they were a bit crap.

Jan 14

Thankful I bothered to write MAME Raspberry Pi cross-compile tools when I have access to hardware like this. 96 thread compiles are a whole lot better than 4.

The House of the Dead III did get a Wii release so playing the Xbox version with a Wii remote isn't a massive achievement, but I'm surprised Silent Scope didn't end up on the Wii as it seems a natural fit for the controller.

So I'm 4 films in, and Cage currently has 4 brand new films in post-production and is filming a fifth. At this rate I'm actually falling behind!

"New year's resolutions" are stupid, so I'm going to make one that's really stupid. In 2023 I will attempt to watch every single Nicholas Cage movie made. Checking the list now, I think I'm in with a chance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_C

I cannot believe it took me this long to find out someone recreated The Legend of Zelda in the Doom engine! I’m gonna play the whole dang thing.

This can be an inexpensive hobby if you're at the front of the curve. If you're going to wait for others to tell you what the current trend is, then I hope you've got a rich and generous parent.

Collect PS3 and Xbox360 games NOW. Don't make me dig up this tweet in 10 years and say I told you so. I used to collect 8/16 bit and early CD games by the dozen when people were throwing them out, including plenty of titles that fetch north of $200 each today.

Combing through the Magfest photos and saw this one pic to give you an idea of the pricing for game vendors There was also stuff like the $900 cart only web of fire, $1200 cart only ducktales 2 and $2500 sealed Pokémon Box Some crazy stuff there

It's been a while since I've looked at this core on anything other than a capture card. I'm very happy with how the code for the sprite and background layers has come together. Got some a slight alignment issue I need to track down but otherwise it's looking good.

I remember when these "goofy portraits" were leaked at the time, and I was so hyped for this game.
