Raspbian is the main and basic software for RPi devices, officially supported by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. In fact, it is an operating system, based on Debian and optimized for Raspberry Pi hardware. It comes with lots of pre-installed pieces...
The Game Plan So my plan is to make a full size case that will be as authentic looking as possible, with beautiful walnut sides for sure. I will 3D print the blue panels instead of using sheet metal so the build will be accessible to more people should...
Here is a new take on this project - more retro-authentic than ever! Who needs displays if one can have a 6digit 7segment LED bubble display, like its 1981?? https://hackaday.io/project/180252-a-retro-authentic-microtronic-emulator
Stacked the ESP32-VGA with the RETRO-EP4CE15 card. The ESP32-VGA card is running the ANSI terminal sketch by FabGL. Makes a great retro computer setup. The RETRO-EP4CE15 card has an Altera/Intel EP4CE15 FPGA and 1MB of SRAM. The card runs CP/M. VHDL...
Alistair, one of our members has created a brilliant retro USB keyboard from a ZX Spectrum.See his project here: http://hackaday.io/project/2076-ZX-Keyboard
For support of all those retro interfaces at 5V here is a card based on the popular 8255 controller. Since this is a 5V card, it will require the 3V-5V voltage translator.

Introduction It is common to run open-sourced PC games from the '90s on newer embedded systems. Typically, this requires external LCD drivers like the ILI9341 or an LCD controller integrated on the MCU or MPU. The open-source community tweaked and compiled...
To build a Retro Game Machine, you need a Raspberry Pi, a Piboxy Case, a Game Controller, a Speaker and a Screen at least. Piboxy Case is used as Power Control, which allows you control your Paspberry Pi via on-case buttons and IR. So you need to connect...
Built up a rev 2 RETRO-EP4CE15 card. The Rev 2 card replaces the USB C connector with a USB Micro connector. It also changes the VGA HD15 connector to the more usual footprint. Re-compiled all of the Multicomp examples and got them working (GitHub repositories)....
Ported figFORTH to the card. It runs. Banner is Forth-68. Running Type J 0100 to run. Sources Required a bit of tweeking the assembly code so that it would assemble using A68. Ported Source is here. Original Source is here.
While I wait for more parts to arrive, here's a mandelbrot program running in real time in the simulator. I had fun optimising this down from over 30 seconds to 10.5 - couldn't manage to get it below 10 though.asm source: https://github.com/kylesrm/dip8-computer/blob/main/src/mandelbrot.asmThe...
