    6. Atari Jaguar

      Atari's last game console, the Atari Jaguar represented a huge leap in technology from previous offerings. Featuring a 64-bit architecture, the Jaguar had great potential, but its power was difficult to tap. Even then, many great games were released and the Jaguar has an avid fan base today.

      Swordquest Earthworld Jr

      By Zeelay · Posted

      The idea of making an easier SwordQuest game is excellent, and the symbols that you drawn work very well.   I would say that the challenges are a LOT easier ! And to me, they are not too easy, they are just fine. The original game was so hard that it is a real pleasure with your new version to solve the clues in less than a week (in fact in about one hour).   Did you give a name to the rooms and items ? I would like to have the names of this four symbols, I am not sure what they are : (I see a Christmas tree, a firework, the waves of the sea and a kind of svastika or a little character ?)   SwordQuest was one of my favourite game, Swordquest Jr will be one of my friend's !   Great job.

      I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but the "advanced tech" of the giga cart is just a larger flash chip on the cart instead of a 128m or 512m chip.

      Pi Pico[W] Peripheral Expansion Box Side Port Device

      By JasonACT · Posted

      I don't really have any details on the board itself, just that it does +5V & -5V and I'm using a 12V-2A power supply from an old 1TB WD external harddisk.   But this arrived today    So I am now able to use the original power supply board and see what happens - I'm just a bit worried that the +5V is reading as 5.25V when it's not plugged in to anything.  But I'll see what it reads when it's back in the console, they say the Pico digital pins won't like 5.5V but is happy with 5.0V or below, but I think the 74LS chips I've got connected directly to the Pico will only go to around 4V for logic high anyway.

      sure, I will add the command line to a window title. I will return to previous naming (without 32) so the 32bit version will work with the Larek's GUI. There is also this super simple GUI library for SDL2 https://github.com/rxi/microui/tree/master that could allow to make a proper UI (not just a launcher) for the RC. Will consider trying it, but if we have C++ developers here, any help is welcome! Since the release C++ also added a multi-threading to the language natively, so dependency on pthreads could be removed, but I think it's not a priority for now. Generally the code got super optimized for speed by @phaeronwith caching of intermediate results for reuse which now makes it harder to introduce changes (like addition of 5 color char-mode instead of 4 color bitmap). To make it possible the code will need to be significantly reorganized. Oh, I also forgot to add a Generator folder to the release on Github, will add it in the next release.

      Also as a cost saving deal I'm sure,  it looks like the new VS doesn't have the cool color-changing LEDs...But I'm just going off of what it looks like.
