I backed this little (and I do mean little!) device on Kickstarter a while back and today they delivered! This small hand held measures just 4.5×4.5×1.5 cm and yet still manages to emulate systems up to and including the orignal Playstation. Now this is obviously not going to be your main emualtion device but its […]

Another one for the collection. The Psion Series 3 personal digital assistant. This little device containes all the basic functionality you would expect from a PDA of that era. It also had it’s own built in programming language. I have got a serial cable on it’s way for this so will try and get it […]

I have seen a few YouTube videos about this little device. It is an adapter board that plugs into the original Denise chip socket on the Amiga 500 and then has a raspberry pi zero connected into it. This then allows the Digital RGB signal directly from the Amiga to be output via the HDMI […]

I am of the age that at school we had these beauties in our classrooms. I remember designing many circuit boards on one of these in our Design and Technology classes. Well finally I now have on in my collection. I have already replaced the power supply capacitors which were ready to explode (This is […]

After many months of waiting and monitoring eBay. I finally managed to acquire a serial interface for my Atari Portfolio 🙂 So now along with plugging it into cash machines to take out as much money as I want, and breaking into the secure areas of Cyberdyne Systems, I can also connect up to my […]

So I was lucky enough to get one of these pre-ordered on Amazon a few minutes after the listing went live. The console itself is great and personally I really like the looks of it. To me Sony have always done something new with the design of their consoles hwere as over manufacturers just seem […]

When I first saw this advertised I knew I just needed to have it for some reason! So I pre-ordered it on the spot and then completely forgot about it. Come November and as a nice suprise it arrived in the post. Was like having an early birthday present for me as I really had […]

I haven’t messed around with MIDI since my late Sam Coupe years and early 286 PC years where I used to connect a Yamaha PSS-780 keyboard up to the computer and “attempt” to get it to play some music. Usually I just ended up shoving pre-made MIDI files through it back then! But recently I […]

After backing a Kickstarter for the Fusion Annual 2021. One of the perks was a signed copy of the Oliver Twins Collection for the Evercade. This arrived today so have some great Dizzy games to play through on the Evercade now. I believe these are all NES ports so most are pretty good versions. Although […]
