Guests Caleb Connolly | Pablo Correa Gómez Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard Littauer is joined by guests Pablo Correa Gómez and Caleb Connolly to explore the development and sustainability of postmarketOS, an open-source Linux distribution designed to extend the life of mobile devices. The team dives into the project's mission, governance, and the community-driven nature of its work. They discuss the challenges related to funding, primarily through grants and Open Collective donations, and the significance of upstreaming Linux kernel support to collaborate with other communities like Alpine Linux. The conversation also highlights the growth of the postmarketOS community, encouraging contributions from both technical and non-technical supporters, and the importance of comprehensive documentation. Additionally, issues of privacy, telemetry, and user support are examined, alongside the steps towards making postmarketOS more professional and economically sustainable. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:30] Pablo explains postmarketOS and its mission to empower people to have full control over their devices and promote sustainability. [00:02:12] Caleb talks about the governance of postmarketOS that started with a few contributors working on a package repository on top of Alpine Linux and overtime more maintainers were added. [00:03:59] There's a discussion on the structure of the team, how the community around hardware components forms sub-communities bases on common SOCs, and the focus on improving tooling and the ecosystem rather than building a product for end users. [00:06:29] Richard discusses the massive, refurbished phone market and asks about how postmarketOS fits into this ecosystem. Caleb shares their experience working on the OnePlus 6 phone and explains the technical process of making the device work on upstream Linux and the challenges of hardware enablement. [00:10:05] Pablo explains that the project is largely funded by volunteer work and Caleb describes the challenges in deciding which devices to prioritize for hardware enablement and how all hardware work so far has been done by volunteers. [00:14:09] On the importance of upstreaming, Pablo explains that postmarketOS works hard to contribute back to the Linux ecosystem rather that maintaining device-specific patches and postmarketOS is downstream to Alpine Linux but contributes much of its work upstream to maintain sustainability. [00:20:09] Richard asks about how the project builds shared context and onboards new developers and Pablo and Caleb explain how the project relies on its wiki page to provide extensive documentation and how the pmbootstrap tool makes it easier for new contributors to get started with porting new devices to postmarketOS. [00:25:01] Richard asks about telemetry and how the team tracks their impact. [00:25:39] Pablo talks about how they receive community feedback through events like FOSDEM and have seen an increase in donations, social media engagement, and community members. [00:28:39] Caleb reflects on the pros and cons of collecting telemetry, which could help guide development but may also create unwanted challenges by focusing too heavily on specific devices. [00:31:30] What are Pablo and Caleb most excited about for the next year? Pablo is excited about professionalizing the project, starting to pay contributors, and scaling the project's growth sustainably, and Caleb jokes about looking forward to the “pre-market OS.” Quotes [00:12:00] “We are trying to grow organically, bit by bit, and be able to pay people to do core things where volunteer work doesn't reach.” [00:15:06] “In the environment we live in, where you have X amount of code per update, it is totally unsustainable.” [00:16:18] “As a distro, we predominately put together the pieces that other people give us.” [00:19:13] “Downstream patches allow to experiment, but long term are a burden. That's the same for every project.” [00:19:22] “The sustainability goes beyond reducing waste and also goes into the social ecosystem and how we maintain projects.” [00:30:33] “We know we are not ready for end users, but we need to build the structure and economic support.” Spotlight [00:32:32] Richard's spotlight is DOSBox. [00:33:03] Pablo's spotlight is FOSDEM and the FOSDEM team. [00:33:57] Caleb's spotlight is processing.org.

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we conclude the story of the OG ufologist, Major Donald Keyhoe! We get to the bottom of the "big question" - was Keyhoe silenced for speaking UFO truths, or is there something else fishy going on? We talk UFO lecture circuits, book deals, movie consultations, television appearances, and so much more!

ScummVM gibt es bereits seit 2001 und viele von euch sind wahrscheinlich zumindest indirekt damit in Berührung gekommen. Doch was genau ist ScummVM eigentlich? Um das einmal genauer zu klären, hat Wolfgang ein Interview mit Lothar Serra Mari, einem der Project Leads von ScummVM, geführt. Und in diesem langen Gespräch wird ausführlich über die Geschichte, die Technik und natürlich auch die Zukunft von ScummVM gesprochen. ScummVM ist ein sehr wichtiges Projekt. Für uns, die wir damit alte Spiele spielen können. Aber auch aus kulturhistorischer Sicht, um alte Spiele in der heutigen Zeit überhaupt noch erlebbar zu machen. Denn leider kommt es nicht selten vor, dass der Sourcecode eines Spiels im Laufe der Zeit verloren geht. Oder es ist nach zahlreichen Firmenübernahmen unklar, wo nun die Rechte an einem Spiel oder einer Marke liegen. In solchen Fällen ist es unmöglich, einen alten Titel für moderne Systeme neu aufzulegen. In solchen Fällen kann ScummVM die Lösung sein, um ein altes Spiel auch ohne Emulation wie DosBox komfortabel zum Laufen zu bringen. Denn ScummVM emuliert keine Plattform, sondern baut die jeweilige Spiele-Engine nach. Das klingt nach viel Arbeit und ist es auch. Und wir sind dankbar, dass sie gemacht wird. --- Credits Sprecher & Produktion: Wolfgang Schoch, Christian Wald-von der Lahr Musik: DRIFTING KORNERS von https://josephmcdade.com

TCW Podcast Episode 168 - Activision and Kotick Part 2   In part two of our look at Activision under Bobby Kotick's leadership. We see how Activision's franchises and licensed properties were leveraged for revenue. We look at how Activision had to revive the entire development apparatus from scratch. They used the animation skills of a Disney-trained trained animator for Pitfall the Mayan, Adventure. Finally, Activision was able to firmly gain footing, and regain profitability with the release of MechWarrior 2!   The Manhole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC2AgMnTFd4 Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA0rPwUcQmQ Return to Zork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSoT0Ty8MVQ The Fox and the Hound Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbuIeTHh4To The Black Cauldron Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isAtOHLiMH8 Tron Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtyHX7z8fi8 Technological Threat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiTgoRR3tbk Ferngully - The Last Rainforest Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzqyc95zcxo Pitfall The Mayan Adventure(SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G34rcaK11W0 Pitfall The Mayan Adventure (Sega CD): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P86I5GgsLZM BattleTech The Crescent Hawk's Inception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rtXTFtyQms Mechwarrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuxySqjb5X8 Dos Protected Mode Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAyQLV5bbb0 Why you need DOSBox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZmlfmK619g Mechwarrior 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0mSdnxM7fc     New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Por las noches en San Francisco / El primer riñón artificial en fase pre-clínica / Windows 3.1 con disquetera en iPhone / REvil empieza a asaltar a sus afiliados / Las cartas secretas de María Antonieta / BepiColombo pasa por Mercurio / Primer trimestre de Tasa Google en España  Los taxis autónomos comerciales aprobados en San Francisco... con varios asteriscos. La agencia de tráfico de California ha dado el permiso para que coches de Waymo y Cruise operen de 10 de la noche a 6 la madrugada recogiendo viajeros en las calles de San Francisco https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/10/california-dmv-gives-cruise-and-waymo-ok-to-charge-for-rides/. Solo podrán circular a una velocidad máxima de 50 km/h, incluso con niebla o lluvia ligera.  Waymo tiene un permiso algo más amplio https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/117199-2/: 100 km/h, y un área de calles y carreteras en San Francisco y San Mateo.  Falta una aprobación burocrática final, pero sería el primer sistema de robotaxis comercial real no limitado a un grupo de "beta testers" como los de Arizona, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Miami, Tel-Aviv, New York, Munich, etc.  Diseñan un prototipo de andador autónomo para personas de movilidad reducida. Ingenieros japoneses han ideado un andador que es capaz de llegar a los pacientes por sí mismo https://techxplore.com/news/2021-10-autonomous-forearm-supported-walker-patients-nursing.html, y luego usar sus sensores para asistirles y reducir la dificultad de cada paso, por ejemplo recolocando las ruedas en mejor posición.  Consigue instalar Windows 3.1 en un iPhone usando los disquetes originales. Con un poco de maña, este youtuber demuestra cómo cargar el sistema operativo https://youtu.be/4R3LA4awCCM?t=708 dentro de DOSbox, el versátil emulador de x86. Pero en vez de usar un fichero de imagen ya preparado, lo hace con una disquetera leyendo los seis discos magnéticos originales.  Mañana llega Windows 11, pero 2 millones de ordenadores ya lo tienen. Aunque algunos titulares hablen del "1,3% del total de ordenadores", es difícil estimar porque el análisis de telemetría https://microsofters.com/179819/un-13-de-los-equipos-ya-han-dado-el-salto-a-windows-11/ que define solo refleja ordenadores con Windows 10, así que quizá sea un 0,6-0,9% del total.  El Proyecto Riñón entra en la fase pre-clínica. Entre varios esfuerzos mundiales por desarrollar un riñón artificial, el The Kidney Project estadounidense ha dado un gigantesco salto adelante https://pharmacy.ucsf.edu/news/2021/09/kidney-project-successfully-tests-prototype-bioartificial-kidney. Su unidad es doble: hemofiltro para limpiar la sangre, y bioreactor para controlar los electrolitos. No causa respuesta inmunitaria y necesita baterías porque usa energía de la presión arterial.  Según sus creadores, aún faltan más pruebas pre-clínicas https://www.cancer.gov/espanol/publicaciones/diccionarios/diccionario-cancer/def/estudio-preclinico, y luego ya pruebas con humanos. Faltan años, pero parece que van por el buen camino.  Los hackers de REvil están robando a los hackers que subcontratan su plataforma de ransomware. Clientes criminales de REvil, el grupo ruso que recientemente ha vuelto a operar, han encontrado una puerta trasera https://www.zdnet.com/article/these-ransomware-crooks-are-complaining-they-are-getting-ripped-off-by-other-ransomware-crooks/ en el propio ransomware que puede ser usado por los propios creadores para negociar con los afectados cuando ven que alguien va a pagar.  Explicación: REvil crea ransomware que ofrece a hackers de todo el mundo, que a su vez lo usan como "afiliados" quedándose el 70% de lo extorsionado.

When Panzer General first released in 1994, it revolutionised the war gaming genre.  It was more accessible, easier to understand and more cleanly illustrated than any other war game to come before it.  Portraying many historical battles of World War 2 (while also indulging in a few ‘what if' scenarios), it was an instant hit amongst grizzled veterans and newcomers to the genre alike.But is what was approachable and revolutionary in 1994 possibly still strike the right chords more than 25 years later?  Can a game with no characters and no real storytelling draw us in?  Can the relatively inexperienced Pat and James possibly get into and dominate the battlefields of a war game they've barely played?On this episode, we discuss:How meaningful is it that the battles of Panzer General are historical battles instead of fantasy battles?  Can historical context provide a meaningful hook of engagement in the absence of characters or story beats?How does the strategic layer of Panzer General actually function?  What degree of decision making do you have on a macroscale to affect the outcome of a battle?  Are these decisions enjoyable and varied?How does the more zoomed in tactical layer of Panzer General work?  How easy is it to read and understand unit attack and defence values?  What tactical configurations brought us the most success?We answer these questions and many more on the 69th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!---Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherPanzer General OST: Doug Brandon---Panzer General is abandonware, which means its the excellent price of zero dollars. There are a few different ways to access it, but I recommend using a DOS version since early Windows builds can be complete nightmares to get working. First step is to download DOSBOX. It's a DOS emulator that runs Panzer General with no issues. You can download it here.Second step is to download Panzer General. Just use the top link on this page.  To run the game, all you need to do is drag the Panzer General.bat onto the emulator icon. You can also launch it manually within DOSBOX, but it's far easier just to click and drag. Finally, make sure you download and read the manual located here. IIt explains most of the mechanics in the game, but I'm sure there's one or two things missing. Most importantly, it has a detailed breakdown on exactly what to do in the tutorial, down to explaining how to split up your units to take multiple objectives and the order of attack.---How does Panzer General compare to the many war games that came after it?  Which war game should we play next?  Are there strategic or tactical depths to this game that we missed?  Come let us know on our community discord server!  Whether you've got a game to suggest, an opinion to share, or simply want to play alongside us each fortnight we'd love if you'd drop by!

We are ending the week off with one of the first games we think we have ever played on PC. Wacky Wheels, by Beavis Soft (now FastTrack Animations) and Apogee Software (now 3D Realms) on Steam. Granted, ours wasn't on Steam, no, it was on floppy disk, found in the shareware section of our local thrift shop. Nonetheless, you won't want to miss this classic.Steam Description:Nothing beats the excitement of playing against friends. In Wacky Wheels, you can do just that. Play with a friend in split-screen mode, play head-to-head using a modem connection or play via serial (null-modem) cable. Race against challenging computer opponents with adjustable difficulty settings.Yes, you read that right. When we were recording this podcast we had said modern, because it's been quite some time since we saw the word, modem. Obviously, this runs on DOSBox, and does so fairly well. Split screen would work, and you can likely use DOSBox's networking options to create a networked solution; however, we reviewed this for one hour, and needless to say, we just RACED!Important Links:Developer Website: https://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1825Publisher Website: https://3drealms.com/Steam Store: https://store.steampowered.com/app/358380/Wacky_Wheels/

In 1990, in a bid to move ahead of their rivals, Access Software reinvented virtual golf. Their game Links set the template for golf games over the next decade, with a technological tour de force, and along the way it dominated bestselling PC games charts month after month, year after year. Until suddenly it didn't. This is the story of Links and the huge shadow it cast over its genre. If you'd like to play the original Links for yourself and would like to see it the way people saw it at the time, don't forget to turn down the CPU speed in DOSBox — a 386 was still a high-end machine when it came out, and so you want to go somewhat slower than that.  https://trugolf.com/ (TruGolf)  EA got out of golf games after Rory McIlroy PGA Tour in 2015, but 2K picked up the PGA Tour licence this year and has taken over publishing duties for former EA Sports contractors HB Studios' golf series The Golf Club — now renamed PGA Tour 2K. Their first game together, PGA Tour 2K21, just came out on https://amzn.to/34JxdZC (Switch), https://amzn.to/31EEoQM (Xbox One), and https://amzn.to/32CZkqF (PS4) (disclosure: those are Amazon affiliate links).

Le podcast 93 arrive enfin en ligne et aura la lourde tâche de revenir sur près de 3 mois d'actualité (il reviendra surtout sur l'actu de janvier et balayera rapidement l'actu de novembre/décembre). La jaquette de ce podcast est le magnifique graph' d'Highlander, intitulé Ulala' Swingin, qui a été victorieux dans sa catégorie durant l'Alchimie 13.Pour terminer ce podcast en musique, on continuera à se souvenir de l'Alchimie 13 puisqu'on écoutera la musique produite par ACE sur place et intitulée Second Sam Tzt. A noter que ces deux productions ont été réalisées sous MorphOS, tout comme ce podcast qui aura été le premier a être monté sous MorphOS tournant sur un iMac G5 ! Bonne écoute à tous, et n'oubliez pas, que l'Amiga soit avec vous. -- Liste des liens évoqués dans le podcast : Logiciels : MUI 5.0-2019R4 (OS4 et AmigaOS 68k) : https://muidev.de/downloads Prism2V2 : http://aminet.net/package/driver/net/prism2v2 ScoutNG (MorphOS) : https://www.morphos-storage.net/?find=scoutng MiniGL4GL4ES (OS4) : https://amiga-ng.org/article.php?sid=1225 Pilote Wacom (OS4) : http://www.os4depot.net/share/driver/input/wacomtablet.lha Pack Chrysalis 3.12 (MorphOS) : https://www.morphos-storage.net/?page=Chrysalis&file=Chrysalis_3.12.iso Jeux : AskMe Up XXL 3.5.0 : http://glames.online.fr/products/askmeup_xxl.html Word Me Up XXL 1.61 (MorphOS) : http://glames.online.fr/index_page.php?page=products/wordmeupxxl.html Nouvelles réservation pour Black Dawn Rebirth : https://doublesidedgames.com/shop/commodore/commodore-amiga/black-dawn-rebirth/ Podcast "Branche ton micro" : https://branchetonmicro.retrogamer.ca/ Vidéos de Reshoot Proxima 3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbHcDreos74 Heart of Darkness (OS4) : http://www.os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/platform/hode.lha Heart of Darkness (MorphOS) : https://www.morphos-storage.net/?find=hode Atomic Bomberman (OS4) : http://www.os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/action/atomicbomberman_compositing.lha & http://www.os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/action/atomicbomberman_warp3d.lha Atomic Bomberman (MorphOS) : https://www.morphos-storage.net/?find=atomic Atomic Bomberman (AROS) : http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=showfile&file=game/action/atomicbomberman.i386-aros.zip Liste des jeux Amiga sur Obligement : http://obligement.free.fr/articles/listejeuxamiga.php Matériels : Précommande de la carte Tabor A1222 : http://www.a1222plus.com Traduction de la FAQ Tabor sur Amiga-NG : https://amiga-ng.org/viewtopic.php?topic=2639&forum=22 Chaîne d'Halifax : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4jetvuTec1IT5ugFbwl2lA Test de la Vampire V4 StandAlone : http://obligement.free.fr/articles/vampirev4standalone.php Précommande de la Vampire V1200 : https://orders.apollo-accelerators.com/ Le podcast Torrefaction parle de la Vampire : https://www.geekzone.fr/2020/01/31/torrefaction-118-dead-cells-the-bad-seed-warcraft-3-reforged-hip-hop-evolution-s4-et-vampire-standalone/ Article sur la Vampire chez GeekZone : https://www.geekzone.fr/2020/01/31/vampire-v4-standalone/ Wicher 508i : https://www.7-bit.pl/?lang=en&go=aktualnosci&view=188 ACA 1211 : https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/aca1211.html Carte mémoire A500+ open source : https://github.com/blark/a500plus-chipram-expansion Flicker Fixer A500/A2000 open source : https://github.com/niklasekstrom/flickerfixer Emulation : WinUAE 4.3.0 : http://www.winuae.net/ AmiKit XE 11.1 et 11.1.1 : https://www.amikit.amiga.sk/ Fil de discussion sur DOSBox avec JIT PPC (OS4) : https://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum/viewtopic.php?start=0&topic_id=8155 Hatari 2.2.1 (MorphOS) : https://www.morphos-storage.net/index?page=Emulation&file=Hatari_2.2.1.lha Coup d'oeil dans le rétro : AMOS dans le n°21 d'Amiga News (janvier 1990, pages 8, 9 et troisième de couverture) : https://www.abandonware-magazines.org/affiche_mag.php?mag=18&num=1092 Divers : Boutique MicroMiga : https://www.micromiga.com/ Revision Party (10 au 13 avril 2020, Sarrebruck) : https://2020.revision-party.net/start Amiga 35 (27 et 28 juin 2020 à Amsterdam) : https://amiga35.com/ Timbres anglais Amiga, ou presque ^^ : https://shop.royalmail.com/video-games-presentation-pack Tutoriels vidéo de développement en Assembleur par Jed : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc0K5ZCJS7Pl8lpExNZmFiA Actualité de novembre/décembre 2019 sur Obligement : http://obligement.free.fr/articles/actuenbref11122019.php Conclusion : Cover et musique de fin issus des compos de l'Alchimie 13 : https://www.triplea.fr/alchimie/pages/resultats_coding.php

Recorded at Øredev 2019, Fredrik talks to Tomer Gabel. We start from Tomer’s talk about microservices, why the timing was right to do a microservices talk in the form of a retrospective, what is happening now, and how the answer to the question of whether you should go microservices has changed in the last few years. Tomer discusses how problems and solutions evolve, are commoditized and sometimes almost disappear as a concept (or gain new terminology to describe them). In the future, we might not be talking or thinking about microservices at all, but the concept may have evolved and adapted and actually form a basis for everything we do - technology becoming so central that we don’t even need to think about it anymore. Also: it may not be worth it to migrate everything into the future. Common sense and judgement required, as always. We discuss how many of the peculiarities of the software development industry may simply be because the industry is so young. Tomer thinks we as an industry will eventually figure things out and become a lot more settled down, and less exciting if you will. We should all be excited about being around in the industry right now, when there is so much freedom and so many things to do and try. Is the software industry somewhat unique in being so much about sharing knowledge? And are we making the most out of our golden age? Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

Wer vermisst das tägliche Arbeiten mit MS-DOS eigentlich nicht? Gut, vermutlich niemand - aber die zahllosen DOS-Games mit Sicherheit schon! Damit uns diese nicht verloren gehen, gibt es mit der DOSBox einen hervorragenden DOS-Emulator, der neben der eigentlichen DOS-Umgebung gleich auch eine ganze Menge an Hardware emuliert. Was will man mehr?

Si viste el periscope del sábado 20/04 titulado "Retransmitiendo desde el iPad con el micrófono Boya M1", puedes ahorrarte del minuto 3 al 7´50 (Aquí el enlace al periscope: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1rmxPeWvQVYKN?t=4 ) A partir del minuto 8´05 hablo de que por fin puedo jugar a mi videojuego favorito en el ordenador. Programa con el que lo conseguí: D-Fend Reloaded, que a su vez trae el simulador DosBox.

Wenn ihr ein altes Spiel spielen wollt, dass auf eurer neuen Kiste nicht mehr läuft, tauchen Probleme auf, die irgendeiner lösen muss. UND WEN RUFT IHR DANN? Den Fritz, weil der macht das.

Most of us have several devices connected to the Internet in our Ham Shacks.  A computer, a digital mode hotspot, and a Raspberry Pi are several common items one would find.  We may not give much thought to these devices because affordable commercially available equipment make it a breeze to connect devices to each other and the Internet.  But, have you ever stopped to think whether your hotspot should have network access to the computer you do your taxes on? This week Nick KN6NK and Smitty KR6ZY join us to give an introduction to basic networking topics and a primer on basic but powerful practices to secure our networks in the ham shack and beyond.   Nick KN6NK - https://twitter.com/explodinglemur?lang=en Smitty KR6ZY - https://twitter.com/smittyhalibut Our Website - http://www.hamradioworkbench.com/ Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/hamworkbench Contact us for feedback and ideas - http://hamradioworkbench.com/contact Connect with us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/hamradioworkbench/ BrandMeister Talkgroup 31075 - https://hose.brandmeister.network/group/31075/ Save $100 on the Digilent Analog Discovery 2 Package by using code “HamRadioWorkbench2018” in your cart prior to checkout - https://store.digilentinc.com/ham-radio-workbench-bundle/ Save 10% off of a PowerFilm Solar 30 Watt Panel with Anderson Powerpole Adapter with code WORKBENCH 10 at checkout (through Dec 31, 2018) - 30 Watt Foldable Solar Panel with Anderson Powerpole Adapter Closed-loop spindle speed control (Arduino PID controller) for my 3040 router (they’re all over eBay) Watching developments on uBITx harmonics/spurs and related fixes Retro DOS gaming on real hardware instead of DOSBox!  Thin client and sound card Proposed ARES standard headset interface: http://www.sloecc.org/headsets/proposal_ares_standard_headset.pdf EEVBLOG Raspberry PI PoE Hat Issues - https://www.eevblog.com/2018/09/20/eevblog-1122-raspberry-pi-3-poe-hat-fail-investigation/ Raspberry Pi PoE Hat Issues Forum Post - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=220984 Raspberry Pi PoE Hat Issues - The Register article The 7-Layer OSI Model - https://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/OSI_Layers.asp 802.11 WiFi Standards - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol Network Address Translation (NAT) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation Stateful vs Stateless Firewalls - https://www.lanner-america.com/blog/stateless-vs-stateful-packet-filtering-firewalls-better/ Virtual Private Network (VPN) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing) Domain Name System - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS COTS wifi+router with third-party firmware - Tomato / dd-wrt / OpenWRT Overview of basic commercial wifi+router security - https://lifehacker.com/how-to-make-your-wifi-router-as-secure-as-possible-1827695547 Wired Network sniffing - http://www.halibut.com/~mark/EtherSniff-v1.0.pdf Wifi security talk Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_LAN Ubiquiti Unifi Networking Gear - https://unifi-sdn.ubnt.com/

Fredrik chats with Steve Klabnik about Rust, why the lucky stiff, Closure and Webassembly. What does Steve do, how is Rust coming along and how does the process work? Who was why the lucky stiff and why does his publication later named Closure matter to people? Finally: Webassembly, making the web good for applications in general and why Steve thinks it will be the biggest thing since Javascript was added to browsers. Recorded on stage at Øredev 2017.

Co tam? Z czym wskoczyliście w nowy 2018 rok? Z kacem po sylwestrowej nocy, balastem dodatkowych kilogramów jako rezultatu konsumpcji w świątecznym okresie czy z noworocznymi postanowieniami? My dyplomatycznie przyznamy, że ze wszystkim po trochu. Doszliśmy do wniosku, że tak ciężki koniec roku – tym bardziej że cały był wyjątkowo pracowity – należy rozpocząć w wolniejszym tempie, bez nerwów, pośpiechu. Ot, na luzie. Dlatego dziś w (13!) kompocie rozmawiamy na temat łatwy, lekki i przyjemny – o grach! Dokładnej rozpiski nagrania nie podamy, ale poruszamy m.in. następujące kwestie: Na czym gramy? Skąd pobieramy gry, jakie platformy wspieramy? Czy korzystamy z emulatorów? Jakie platformy emulujemy i dlaczego? Nasze preferowane gatunki gier preferujemy i ulubione tytuły – w co gramy najczęściej / graliśmy ostatnio. Nasz stosunek do reklam i modelu freemium? Jak widzimy przyszłość gier (AI, AR, VR, itp.)? Czy korzystamy z cheatów, solucji, kodów? Największe wg nas rozczarowania w branży gier, na jakie tytuły czekamy? Garść linków do tytułów, narzędzi i miejsc, które wspominamy jak zwykle poniżej. Platformy dystrybucji cyfrowej gier: Mac App Store (Apple), iTunes App Store (Apple), Steam (Valve Corporation), Origin (Electronic Arts), GOG (CD Projekt), Humble Bundle (Humble Bundle Inc.), Mac Game Store (Inside Mac Games, Ltd.). Emulatory: FS-UAE Amiga Emulator – najlepszy emulator małych Amig, AmiKit X środowisko emulacji komputera Amiga Classic, Flower Pot inteligentny instalator systemu Amiga PPC 4.1 Final Edition, Atari800MacX emulator 8-bitowych odmian mikrokomputera Atari, Altirra – emulator 8-bitowych Atari na system Windows, Hatari – emulator Atari ST, VirtualC64 – emulator Commodore 64, RVM - Retro Virtual Machine – najlepszy emulator mikrokomputerów serii Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Boxer – piękny, "macowy" interfejs dla darmowego emulatora DOSbox, OpenEmu – multiemulator maszyn arcade i innych retro konsol i mikrokomputerów, Richard Bannister – autor emulatorów wielu egzotycznych mikrokomputerów oraz rewelacyjnego odtwarzacza modułów muzycznych z dawnych maszyn (Audio Overload).

In episode 8 of the Bally Alley Astrocast, Paul, Michael and I review the 4K Blast Droids cartridge that Esoterica released in 1983. This game was written by Dan Drescher, and J.P. Curran. We also review the BASIC game Haunted House released by New Image in 1981. Paul and I discuss the contents and programs included in the August and September 1979 issues of the Arcadian newsletter. We also read feedback from Arcadian readers that sent letters and postcards to Bob Fabris concerning the July 1979 survey question that asked if users would purchase a third-party keyboard and RAM upgrade. Lastly, we cover about ten letters that cover general topics that were sent to the Arcadian from late July to September 1979.

Haunted House Bally BASIC Instructions - These are the program instructions and BASIC listings for New Image's Haunted House. This game is very unusual because it is made up of nine different loads, each of which is a separate BASIC program. Haunted House "AstroBASIC" Instructions Treasures of Cathy ("AstroBASIC" Program) - This programs, by John Collins, seems like a fairly complex dungeon-crawler type game. The Crown of Zeus by Todd Johnson - This game is probably the most RPG-like game on the Astrocade. It is for AstroBASIC only. It takes you to a dark decaying castle in the evil land of Sorom. You've been asked, as the best warrior in the land of Beekum, to retrieve the Crown of Zeus which the Scromites have stolen. The crown, when worn, gives the wearer the awesome ability to cause anything he or she wishes to vanish. Apparently the Scromites have not yet discovered the crown's powers. But as you hid in the forest outside the castle, you saw a troop of orcs from the warring land of Machor slip in through the front gate. They surely know the power of the crown and will have to be dealt with... Arcadian Newsletter Arcadian 1, no. 9 (Aug. 18, 1979): 69-76. - The ninth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. Arcadian 1, no. 10 (Sep. 31, 1979): 77-84. - The tenth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. Arcadian 1, no. 10a (Sep. 31, 1979): 80a. - A supplemental page to the tenth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. TV Output Notes by Marc Calson (possibly a misspelling of Mark Carlson). - The four pages of this document were created using the output of a short 10-line, BASIC program. Whoever sent this document to Bob methodically noted down four sets of numbers for each ASCII character. I can't say that I understand the listed decimal number information, but it seems to nicely supplement the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian's music coverage from Robert Hood (American Concert Frequencies) and the second part of Chuck Thomka's music tutorial, The Music Synthesizer. Hit the Pedestrian by Sebree's Computing (Timothy Hays) - This is a hand-written type-in program listing for Bally BASIC. Typed instructions are included. This program has not be digitally archived. Pictures of the Viper RAM Expansion - This hardware was released by Alternative Engineering. Pictures of the Keyboard for the Viper RAM Expansion Unit Aldo Trilogy by Dave and Benjamin Ibach - Three PC shareware titles for DOS released 1987-1991. These games do not run on the Astrocade. These games will run well under Windows when using a program called DOSBox (an emulator, of sorts). The games included are: Aldo's Adventure, Aldo Again, and Aldo's Assault. While these games won't run on the Astrocade, they do give a continued history of what Dave Ibach did (with his son) after he moved on from the Astrocade. The main character in this series of one-screen platform games looks suspiciously like someone named...Mario. Give these games a try-- you'll like 'em. The Bit Fidder's Corner by Andy Guevara - The Bit Fiddler's Corner is an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. The author, Andy Guevara, programmed the Machine Language Manager cartridge for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. This tutorial complements that cartridge, but has a general focus so this information can be used without reinterpretation by Astrocade assembly programmers, or those wishing to learn about the machine. The Music Synthesizer by Chuck Thomka - A tutorial on creating sound effects for the Astrocade. Black Box by B. Reany. - This Bally BASIC (300-baud) program was printed on page 74 of the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian. Black Box is a sort of Battleship game where the computer hides some "atoms" in a grid and you have to locate them. Use the diagram for clues. Space War by Dave Ibach - A 300-baud, Bally BASIC game that was printed in the September 1979 issue of the Arcadian. It's a neat idea for a two player game. Each player has a ship on one side of the screen, and can move up and down and fire at any angle. However, the ships are invisible, so you can only figure out where your opponent is when they fire a shot. XY Tutorial by Timothy Hays - A 12-page tutorial on the Bally BASIC XY command for exceptionally well controlled graphics. XY Tutorial Programs by Timothy Hays - This archive includes the Bally BASIC programs included with the XY Tutorial document. The six programs included are: 3-D Forward Simulation Above A Flat Plane, Cartesian Coordinates To XY Values Routine, Demonstration Program #2, Demonstration Program #2 (with Additions), Demonstration Program #4, and RND XY Value To Perspective Point. Responses to the Arcadian July 1979 Survey These letters relate to the programming keyboard survey on page 55 of the July 1979 issue of Arcadian. As a reminder, the survey questions were: "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with full capacity (reference page 21). Are you ready to pay $650 for it? "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with partial capacity (reference page 54). Are you ready to pay $350 for it? "Assume that we develop a keyboard that would have 16K RAM with upgrading capability of 24-plus K RAM, and some form of resident BASIC in 16K ROM, along with some features such as cassette motor control, word processing capability, etc. Are you ready to pay $350 for it? (Assuming that Bally does not produce in the same timeframe.) "A postal card with numbers down the side and yes/no opposite each is all that is necessary, but suggestions are certainly welcome. Also, tell me the model number and serial number of your machine if you haven't done so yet." Letter from Paul Zibits to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter from Kirk Gregg to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter From "Levin" to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979). Letter from M. Lewitzke to Bob Fabris. (August 2, 1979).

Letter from Kelvyn Lach to Bob Fabris. (August 19, 1979). Letter from L. Kingman to Bob Fabris. (August 24, 1979). Letter from Curtis Schmidt to Bob Fabris. (August 28, 1979). Letter from Ken Stalter to Bob Fabris. (September 3, 1979). Letter from David Templeton to Bob Fabris. (September 5, 1979). Letter from Al Nowak to Bob Fabris. (September 6, 1979). Letter from George Tucker to Bob Fabris. (October 16, 1979). Letters to the Arcadian Letter from Chuck Thomka to Bob Fabris. (1979, probably late January). - Chuck sent two programs with this letter: Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands and Leaning Aid for "&" Command. It seems that these two programs helped Chuck figure-out the sound capability of the Bally Arcade. He went on to use this information to write the Music Synthesizer tutorials in the July and August 1979 issues of the Arcadian. Chuck describes the printer that he uses to create the BASIC listing forms, "It actually doesn't take too long to create a form on what I use, which is a cross between a computer and a very high-speed line printer. It puts images on paper with laser optics utilizes Xerox xerographics. It's really quite an impressive machine. As an example of what can be done with it, well, if you can envision an 8 1/2" x 11" blank piece of paper and another 8 1/2" x 11" completely black piece of paper, this represents the extremes of the machine. Everything in-between (just about) can be done by this machine. That includes all different font sizes and styles, logos, lines and even signatures! All this with about the resolution of 300 dots to the inch. The speed of this machine is two full pages a second. If you wanted to print with a reduced print style and also have put two sides of data on the same side of the paper, this machine would print at equivalent speed of 36,000 lines per minute! Like I said, a very high-speed line printer!" Leaning Aid for '&' Command by Chuck Thomka. - A five-page program that is purely Chuck's own concoction. This program uses all but about 150 bytes of memory and is somewhat involved, but is informative as to the workings of all the possible '&' commands. Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands by Chuck Thomka - Submitted to Arcadian on January 5, 1979, but previously unpublished. A single-page modification to an existing Bally program which allows easy and quick changes to '&16' through '&23 commands [the sound ports]. Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age by Michael A. Hiltzik - Chuck Thomka works worked a Xerox, and he mentioned what sounds like a laser printer in his letter. This is an Amazon.com link to Dealers of Lightning, a book published in 2000. The creation of the laser printer is discussed in some detail here. It "is a fascinating journey of intellectual creation. In the 1970s and '80s, Xerox Corporation brought together a brain-trust of engineering geniuses, a group of computer eccentrics dubbed PARC. This brilliant group created several monumental innovations that triggered a technological revolution, including the first personal computer, the laser printer, and the graphical interface (one of the main precursors of the Internet), only to see these breakthroughs rejected by the corporation. Yet, instead of giving up, these determined inventors turned their ideas into empires that radically altered contemporary life and changed the world." Letter from Tracy Crook to Bob Fabris. (About 1979). - "I wanted to let you know where I am on the Bally expansion. So far, I've added 16K RAM, one serial port, two parallel ports and an ASCII keyboard. These all work very well. What has not worked so well, is some special logic used with the non-mask will direct. With this, I had hoped to use the Bally BASIC unmodified with the keyboard I added. As it is, I can input data from the keyboard under basic control (or machine language), but program entry and editing must still be done through the keypad. I can't get this to work, I guess Bally BASIC (or some other language) could be placed in RAM. A commented listing of Bally BASIC would be invaluable at this point. [...] With that info, we could tailor it a bit and put it in RAM. "At this point, I see the remainder of the expansion to be mainly a software effort, which is where I could use some help. The most important changes, I think, would be to get BASIC program storage out of internal (graphics) memory. This would greatly increase the color capabilities when using BASIC." [Note: Blue Ram BASIC does this, which is why more colors are available to this expanded BASIC.] "Another interesting possibility open by having RAM memory available is the ability to load it with data from any of the game cartridges (which were previously dumped onto a cassette tape) and then switch this memory into the bank normally signed the plug-in cartridge. This is quite easy to do. At this point the Bally would perform exactly as if you had plugged in the game cartridge that the data came from." [The Blue Ram, Viper and Lil' White RAM expansion units all allow for this.] "The end result would be that you could have the entire library of Bally games in a couple of cassette tapes. Bally might not be too wild about this idea, I assure you it would work." "In the meantime, in order to ease programming the Bally, I use another one of the microcomputers I own, which has an ASCII keyboard, to write Bally BASIC programs on and then dump them on tape in a format compatible with the Bally. Doing it off like this has some disadvantages, but it sure beats that key pad." "Haven't done much on it lately, as my Bally was struck by lightning about five weeks ago, and it still not back from the factory." Letter from Ed Mulholland to Bob Fabris. (July 1, 1979 / July 23, 1979). - In the July 1'st letter, Ed says, "The schematics to our Ballys show a 10-pin and a 26-pin port in addition to the IEEE-488 port. My machine did not have 26-pin port as shown in the photo on page 14 of the [Bally PA-1] service. This would still be only a small inconvenience because the pin numbers and functions as shown on the schematic." The second part of the letter (dated July 23) shows how the 10-wire 24-key keypad is arranged. I think that this information is meant to help explain how to wire a 63-key "full size" ASCII keyboard in parallel with the 24-key keypad. Letter from Robert Dahl to Bob Fabris. (July 29, 1979). - Mr. Dahl suggests that future issues the Arcadian leave room so that a hole punch can be used so that the issues can be stored in a binder. He says, "They are well worth saving." I agree! On July 27, Mr. Dahl received a mimeographed copy of the Hacker's Manual from Bally. He notes that they included a letter that says they do not expect the keyboard expansion to be released this year Robert Dahl notes that he was able to order the Amazing Maze/Tic-Tac-Toe cartridge from Montgomery Ward's catalog. He got the cartridge in just three days. He adds that a fellow, who sells the Arcade and its accessories, tells him that he has a standing order for all arcade items, but gets more promises than anything else from a wholesale distributor in Milwaukee. This man had been trying to get the Amazing Maze cartridge ever since he first heard about it and he had yet to get it. Mr. Dahl figures that Bally's distribution must be out of whack. Mr. Dahl has typed in various versions of Slot Machine. He talks about three that he has used comparing and contrasting differences between them. Mr. Dahl makes a comment that the Checkers game number six had him puzzled. He was expecting a regular checkerboard on the TV screen. He says that, "Right now, it's beginning to soak-in that I should take a checkerboard and number the squares and move the pieces around as the numbers on the screen direct?" [Is this accurate?!?] Letter from Andy Guevara to Bob Fabris. (July 30, 1979). - Andy Guevara wrote several programs that were published in the Arcadian and Cursor/BASIC Express newsletters. Andy programmed the Machine Language Manager, a 2K cartridge that was released in 1982 by The Bit Fiddlers. He released a few tapes, including Candy Man and Chicken, two games released on tape that were written in mostly machine language. He wrote Ms. Candyman and Sea Devil, both of which are 4K cartridges that were released 1983 by L&M Software. Mr. Guevara also wrote The Bit Fiddler's Corner, an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. Andy just received his first stack of Arcadian newsletters. He has had his Bally arcade for five months and never dreamed that so much information could be further developed. He has dumped the Baseball cartridge, and is pleased to see that other people have made ROM dumps too. Mr. Guevera is looking into expanding his internal memory from 4K to 12K of RAM with a single IC designed by Harris Semiconductor. He goes into detail about how this might work. Andy has come up with a solution for Bob to be able to print programs. He provides details and a schematic on a device that can be used that will use a UART to allow the Bally to print. Although Andy has only had his Bally Professional Arcade model BPA-1100 for five months, the innards have already had to be changed twice. Letter from Richard Dermody to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Richard's interest has been piqued by the announcement of the keyboard project. So much so, that he has already gone out and bought a keyboard for the project. He says, the "glimmer of a future for the Arcade as a computer [...] has prompted [him] to retain his [Arcade] with hopes for the future." Richard notes that while he understands the difficulties that Bally may be having with the FCC, he has noticed that other companies, such as Apple, have made significant progress in the same time period since the Arcade was first announced. Richard is on his second Bally arcade. He had to return his first one to Montgomery Ward as "it tended to self-destruct after being in operation for a while." Mr. Dermody hopes that reviews of the Bally cartridges will be in future issues. There is no local retailer for these items where he lives so his only resort is mail-order. He would like to have some idea of what he is ordering before he places an order. Letter from Guy McLimore to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Guy gives an unqualified "yes" to all the survey questions that Bob asked the previous issue of the Arcadian. Guy says that he wants and needs a keyboard badly. An interesting bit here is that Ken Ballard, the owner of ABC Hobbycraft, has commissioned a professional hardware/software man to develop a 64K keyboard memory expansion to be sold commercially. The unit is still in the planning stages, but [they] hope that it will be ready by December." This seems overly optimistic, since it is nearly August already. I don't recall ever hearing about this from any other source. It is interesting that so many people wanted to build, create or purchase a memory expansion/keyboard for their Bally unit. Guy really enjoyed Chuck Thomka's synthesizer tutorial. He found the two accompanying programs very useful. He does wonder how Bell Telephone feels about the programs, however. He notes that if you add the buttons A-D to the Touch-Tone dialer program (Touch Tone Simulate), then you have a semi-efficient Black Box for receiving free telephone calls. The Touch-Tone dialer doesn't work in Guy's local area. He thinks that Indiana Bell has an acoustical filter that prevents Touch-Tone signals from being input to the microphone from the handset. By popular demand, ABC hobby craft is now accepting mail orders for Bally hardware, W&W software, Stocker Software, and Skyrocket Software (Guy's company). Guys makes an observation about the tape quality for software that is being sold through the Arcadian classified ads. It seems that the people distributing their software on tape are using cheap tapes brands which makes loading the tapes difficult. He notes that the Dave Stocker software is also available on micro cassettes. I don't know of any other Bally software that was distributed on these tiny tapes. Guy has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of response he received to the listing of his Fantasy Games #1 package in the Arcadian. Despite the fact that it is a limited program designed only for those persons familiar with fantasy role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, the program sold remarkably well! Phenomenally well, in fact, given an audience of relatively few people. Guy will be creating programs under the name Skyrocket Software with his partner Greg Poehlein. They intend to sell software for the Bally, TRS-80 and eventually other systems. He says they won't be turning it out fast, but they will be turning it out good, paralleling Bally's own stated policy of producing fewer top quality cartridges as opposed to Atari's more is better philosophy Letter from Jeff Frederiksen to Bob Fabris. (August, 20 1979).- This letter is from Jeff Frederiksen, the chief engineer behind designing the Bally Professional Arcade hardware. It seems that this letter was accompanied by some hardware. The letter simply states: "The enclosed assemblies replace the 75361 clock driver, located in the oscillator shield. The failure of the 75361 is that the 6V high time after warm-up drops below 55ns causing the data chip to appear defective. If you do not have this sinking clock syndrome, replacement is not necessary. I hope you find the enclosed hardware description useful." Letter from Jeff Grothaus to Bob Fabris. (August 31, 1979). - Jeff is building his own cassette tape interface from the schematics on page 20 of the Arcadian and page 4 of the Bally Hacker's Manual. He has run into a few difficulties and is hoping to get some help. He also wonders if Bob knows if anyone else has created a working interface from the schematics. There's a handwritten note from Bob where he simply writes, "No." I find it interesting that Jeff is actually building his own tape interface. This interface would be of no use without the basic cartridge. At the time, I think, the tape interface was easy enough to get for $50. I wonder if Jeff was trying to save money, or if he was having difficulty finding the necessary hardware to use with Bally BASIC and a tape recorder. Letter from Karen Nelson to Bob Fabris. (September 10, 1979). - Karen is a programmer who got interested in the Bally when JS&A advertised it in Scientific American in 1977. She was told that she was one of the first people to get her hands on one. She was very excited about machines potential, but was disillusioned by the heat problems which were inherent in the first machines. She "burned out" two of the units. Just after she returned the second unit, she discovered that her programming instructor was doing the graphics for the Bally. She says, "Yes, folks, it was the infamous Tom DeFanti and his magic Z-GRASS." She knows Tom well enough to drop into his "Graphics Habitat" at the University of Chicago to talk intelligently about some of his projects. She also knows Nola Donato and a few other of Tom students who are working on projects for Bally. Tom has had the University of Chicago purchase eight Bally's and eight Sony TVs to teach students the basics of computers and programming. In August 1979, Tom was the chairman of a traffic seminar held jointly by IEEE and ACM/SIGGRAPH. For three nights, Tom and his crew presented new and interesting works in various areas of computer graphics (including a few by people using Bally Arcades). In addition to the seminar, a graphics experiment Expo was held and it was there that Karen met some of the guys from Dave Nutting, in particular Ricky Spiece (who developed the Football cartridge). Ricky was helpful and showed Karen some tricks (like the ports in BASIC), and he also demonstrated the graphics capabilities by loading a picture from a disk to a color monitor. In addition, his Bally was connected to a B&W monitor and a keyboard. His commands appeared on the black-and-white monitor, and the graphics were displayed on the color monitor. However, the whole setup was attached with the Bally board mounted in a frame, not in the case, which leads Karen to believe that some special wiring is needed. Karen describes her experimentation with the different ports available in BASIC. Karen has recently seen the pinball cartridge demoed at the graphic seminar. She says that it looks pretty good. She heard one of the Dave Nutting guys say that he had just sent the thing off to Bally and that it should be out on the market pretty soon. Karen says that there was a demo of Z-GRASS, but that she didn't get to see it. She does note that as a student of De Fanti, she learned how to program in GRASS-- Z-GRASS's daddy-- using a PDP-11/45. Karen is glad to find out that there are other people like her who think that the Bally Arcade/computer has a lot more potential than most people give it credit for. She hopes that Bob Fabris might be able to pass on some information to whoever the marketing manager at Bally is. She would like to see the Bally advertisement computer magazines such as BYTE and Personal Computing. She would like to see Bally stress that most people buy home computers for games and that Bally has terrific controls, and that by the time people become interested in programming, Bally will have add-on module available. She also says that the graphics capabilities of the Bally have no competition; they are the best, and the Arcade is dirt cheap when compared to other systems.

We review Duck Tales for the NES, Rory airs his grievance about Dosbox, and we gripe a bit about games becoming too much like movies.

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring cartoon music.The Honors March (0:45 @ 0:10)Habanera (4:07 @ 0:51)Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia) (1:38 @ 5:01)Hebrides Overture/Fingal's Cave (11:22 @ 6:36)That was The Honors March by John Phillip Sousa and performed by the US Navy Band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.  After that was Habanera from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia) by Léo Delibes and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was The Hebrides overture or Fingal's Cave by Felix Mendelssohn and performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra for the Musopen project, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.As you've just heard, this week's episode is not all Public Domain like I usually aim for for cartoon music episodes.  But it is still Attribution, so there's still plenty you can do with this music.So with that said, let's get back to music.Prelude to act 3 and bridal chorus (from Lohengrin) (6:33 @ 18:54)Home Sweet Home (1:17 @ 25:26)The Messiah, Hallelujah (3:51 @ 26:43)La Cumparsita (3:47 @ 30:36)Canon in D Major (5:55 @ 34:25)That was Prelude to act 3 and bridal chorus from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner and performed by the United States Marine band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.  After that was Home Sweet Home by Sir Henry Bishop and performed by Lucas Gonze, which is available from soupgreens.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  That recording could probably be considered a form of historical preservation - he used not only sheet music but instruments from 1900 and earlier to play it and has the sheet music available on his website if you want to try playing it yourself.  Then we had The Messiah, Hallelujah by George Frideric Handel and performed by Orchestra Gli Armonici, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.  Next up was La cumparsita by Gerardo Matos Rodríguez, which is available from Wikipedia and is licensed as Public Domain.  Finishing up was Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.Today's app-of-the-day is DOSBox, an x86 emulator specifically intended for running old games.  For those of you unfamiliar with emulators, when you run DOSBox, it basically boots up a simulation of an old computer inside of your new one, allowing you to run old programs that no longer run properly on modern computers.  DOSBox runs pretty much everywhere - there's even a port of it for my cell phone.  It's available for Linux, BSD, OS/2, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BeOS and Haiku, Kolibrios, RISC OS, XBox, PSP, Wii, Palm OS, webOS, Symbian, Maemo, BlackBerry Tablet OS, Android, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and probably many more.  Check it out today at dosbox.comNow for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.Nonsense NovelsAlso Sprach Zarathustra (1:26 @ 44:03)Rock-A-Bye Baby (5:22 @ 45:25)Pop Goes The Weasel Music Box (0:16 @ 50:46)Sobre las Olas (7:27 @ 51:02)Manhattan Beach (2:17 @ 58:30)That was the Sunrise fanfare from Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Rock-A-Bye Baby by an unknown composer and performed by Nexus 6, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Pop Goes The Weasel Music Box, again originally by an unknown composer, performed by cgrote, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Sobre las Olas by Juventino Rosas and synthesized by, and I'm going to give this my best shot, Alberto Eliseo Méndez Blackaller y orquesta XYZ Antares, which is available from IMSLP and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Manhattan Beach by John Phillip Sousa and performed by the United States Marine Band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.This episode was made using Gentoo Linux, Xubuntu Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.  Feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some steampunk music.  See 'ya!Download MP3Episode 41: Cartoon Music by Ralph Wacksworth is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

Hey there blockers! It's yet again time for another show! This week, something a little bit different. Instead of covering a specific game, we're gonna get techie and discuss some ways to play all these great old games I've been covering on our modern, ultra-fast, multi-core gaming rigs. But first, some news. I follow up once again on both the Tex Murphy and SpaceVenture kickstarters. Check em out and give your support if you think they're worthwhile! Also, the E3 show has been going on this week where trailers were released for the next SimCity and the new X-COM: Enemy Unknown game in development. I wanted to let everyone know about The Blackwell Bundle, a cool adventure series done in the style of classic VGA adventure games that I've been playing since the last show. Check it out! The main topic for the week is how to get old games running well on modern systems. We cover some background, what difficulties we encounter trying to get this all running. Then I start the discussion of emulation, define what it is and where it's used. I then get into details of two different applications that are used to run DOS games in emulation, DOSBox and ScummVM. Finally we listen to an audio comment from Dan where he talks about his experience with retro gaming and DOS emulation on iOS. That's that! Enjoy the show and see you all next time when we talk about Wolfenstein 3D!

Greetings Blockers! Welcome to episode 5! This week I've got a big topic to cover, the Space Quest series by Sierra Online! Since we have six games to cover in a single show, the news is quick this time: Firstly, Jane Jensen's kickstarter funded, exceeding their 300,000 dollar goal. Secondly, I came across news of a Tex Murphy kickstarter. Tex Murphy isn't a game series I played, but go check out their project page if you're interested! We then get into the main topic, the Space Quest series. I cover how Sierra's adventure game paradigm differs from the LucasArts one we already covered and then I get into Space Quest's development story. The bulk of the show is going through each of the six games talking about plot, technology and some fun facts and features of each. I play a great audio comment from Rick Moyer where he interviews a friend that he used to play Space Quest with. Thanks Rick! With regard to the future of the Space Quest series I talk about the new SQ2 remake and remind everyone about the Two Guys kickstarter. To close out the show, I came across a really great cover medley of Space Quest 4 music by Brandon Blume, you can go grab it and see his other work at his site, http://brandonblume.com/ and his YouTube channel. Next week: A bit of a different show, I won't be covering a game. I'm going to talk about ways to get old games working on modern systems. General talk about virtualization, DOSBox, ScummVM, etc. Should be interesting! Hope to see you! Buy Space Quest on GOG or Steam.

No Continues is One Life Left’s off-season weekly book / game club. Each week the team discuss three different games that incorporate a single theme. Last week’s theme was ‘Adventure’. You can listen to episode 2 here*.   Next week’s theme is ‘Simulation’. Ignore what we said at the end of Episode 2, because the three games chosen for dissection by NC this week are:   1. Populous (Bullfrog, 1989)   NOTE: THIS REPLACES CIVILISATION / OPENCIV.   Not easy. There's a Master System version online here, but the best way is to follow these instructions.   2. Sim City (Maxis, 1989)   Playable online via this link (only works in Internet Explorer) or through DOSbox emulation by downloading here. There are also iPhone / Android versions; since we're talking about the art of building a city rather than anything relating to the original version, those will suffice.     3. Photopia (Peter Favaro, 1986)   Play it here.   Play, listen and contribute to the show live on Resonance 104.4FM at 7pm on Monday evening, or we’ll see you back here for the podcast. Team NC xx   * Honestly, the Zelda discussion is a bit vague and directionless, not least because we lost a couple of the group at the last minute. Apologies for that; we're learning the best way of doing this too, so things are going to be a little clumsy sometimes. SORRY. The other 45 minutes is radio book game group GOLD, though. Honestly.

Our first PC game! Today's music "Scrap Metal Monster", by Battlerager, is from the old fighting game "One Must Fall: 2097", for MS-DOS! It's not your common fighting game, as in this one you fight using giant robots! Interested? In 1999 the game became freeware, so go get it now! (You can play old DOS games in emulators such as DOSBox). Original Artist: Kenny Chou Source: One Must Fall: 2097 Performed by: Battlerager Homepage: http://goo.gl/3mbyv (where the game is incorrectly listed as Battlerager)
