Sam Retr0Bright
The Sam had started to get back a bit of his yellowing so I gave him a night under a UV lamp and some hydrogen Peroxide cream to restore him back to with former glory. Something very satisfying about doing this process.
Website moved to real hosting
So I started off by running the website from my home server just to see if it was going to work as I had originally planned. Well it did, so I have now moved it onto some proper hosting so hopefully the page load times may be a little bit quicker now 🙂
Spectrum Next article updated
Have just written my first draft for the Spectrum Next section. I am sure I will add to this over time but wanted to get something in place to start with.
Jaguar skunkboard arrived :)
So today my skunkboard arrived 🙂 I now have access to the entire catalog of Jaguar cartridge games. The only downside is the cartridge can only hold 1 or 2 games at the same time. My original plan was to control the flashing via Alexa voice commands. I have this working but its not going to be easy to setup each game as a voice command without writing a dedicated skill. So instead I have ordered a small OLED display and a rotary encoder. I will hook these up to a pi zero and will have it so you can cycle through the games list and just push a button to flash the cart. I will update the jaguar section once I have this working.
Atari Jaguar Updated
The Atari Jaguar page has been updated with some information and photos 🙂
“VR” Photo tour added
I know, I hate it when people call a 180/360 degree photos “VR”, but thats what the word press plugin calls it. Anyway, check it out in the Media section of the website.
Catalog Information
Today i am going through each of the computers/consoles and adding a table to the bottom with details about the condition of the console and box along with some other information 🙂
Images update
So today I have gone through the majority of the consoles and added their placeholder images. The test and addiotnal images will be updated in time. Also still have a few photos to take over the next couple of days.
The updates start
The main layout of the site is now complete, I think I have put in place holders the most of the consoles/computers. So now starts the long task of updating each of the pages with some pictures and relevant information. I hope to do a couple of these a day.
So far the Atari 2600 and Sam Coupe pages are done so check back for more updates in the near future.
