Re: 🍓 Pi 5
Hardware support using the Linux 6.6 tree has arrived along with Mesa 24 and updated firmware. I am sticking with the latest improvements in KDE Plasma 5 for its maturity while 6 is still getting closer. Playing RetroArch off the Wayland display is finally usable, so I added a menu icon for C64 runn...

Re: [Ebay] NOT MINE - Ultima spotted!
Certainly not, because I'd worry if it was a knock-off.

Re: 🍓 Pi 5
It's gratifying to see the Pi 5 firmware, software, and associated add-ons mature so quickly, in particular, Mesa and the Vulkan drivers. And, the boot image still supports launching on Pi 4/400 without much fuss. I've been incrementally improving the image for usability and friendliness. Of note, I...

Re: WarGames by Darryl Reynolds?
That look reminds me of a Thorn EMI label, perhaps they could not get licensing rights to WarGames and had recast the tile as Computer War?

Re: Can't enter "=" into VICE monitor
Is your Preferences -> Settings -> Input devices -> Keyboard mapping setup for Symbolic or Positional?
There is also a Host keyboard layout pick-list with a debugging option to try to figure this out.

Re: Getting a fully expanded VIC-20 on MAME?
I should have read your question more closely in regards to wanting all RAM blocks assigned. The internal UI allows for that, if you first assign the memory expanders into the slot expansion card first. Then, go to dip switches menu option and alter them to occupy the address spaces and reset the ma...

Re: Getting a fully expanded VIC-20 on MAME?
No worries, it is indeed cryptic, like it's Fkey mappings -- works like a real VIC in that VIC's F5 is really your keyboard's F3. I am assuming you already know how to toggle MAME UI controls by pressing ScrLk key and then TAB to reveal Slot Devices menu option? If not, there you go. If its command-...

🍓 Pi 5
Continuing off this thread as their new Linux distro is made to be backward compatible, the focus here is on the latest Pi 5 . 8) I remade a new 'plug & play' 🍓 Pi image to run on Pi 4/400 and the new Pi 5 . I prepared it to startup using KDE Plasma on Wayland desktop as a sane starting point ov...

Now, now, someone's junk is someone else's treasure -- be careful with social media posts calling out crooks and crack heads.
