Kinek készített cipőt a magyar suszter Mandzsúriában? Mi maradt az osztrák–magyar negyedből Tiencsinben? Ki volt Kína magyar Raoul Wallenbergje? Az 1900-as évek elejéig Magyarországról csak néhány hittérítő, kalandor, felfedező és kereskedő jutott el Kínába, de a 20. század első felében már kisebb magyar közösségek jöttek létre Kína néhány városában. Tiencsinben a század első évtizedében osztrák–magyar koncessziós negyed alakult, az első világháború után számos magyar hadifogoly szökött át Kínába Oroszországból, s az 1930-as évek végén zsidó menekültek is érkeztek. A Kínába keveredett magyarok közül volt, aki sikeres karriert futott be, mások eltűntek valamelyik kínai tartományban. Az Orient Expressz eheti adásának vendége hosszú évek óta ezeket a különleges kolóniákat és élettörténeteket kutatja. Mervay Mátyás Kína-kutató, történész Kínában járt mesterképzésre, itt kezdte el kutatni a magyar múlt kínai emlékeit. Jelenleg a New York Egyetem doktorjelöltje, aki tudományos tanulmányok mellett ismeretterjesztő cikkekben a szélesebb nagyközönséggel is igyekszik megismertetni felfedezéseit. Munkái személyes weboldalán (https://matyasmervay.com/about/), illetve tudományos profiloldalán (https://nyu.academia.edu/MátyásMervay) érhetők el.

The BBC Micro, Part 3 with Daniel Jameson Hello, and welcome to episode 102 of the Floppy Days Podcast for December, 2020.  I just love these old machines and love to learn and talk about them.  The year is 1981 and we are talking about the legendary BBC Micro or Beeb as it’s affectionately known.  This is the final episode on this incredible machine, where we will be covering Ads and Appearances, Modern Upgrades, Emulators, Buying One Today, Community, and current Web Sites. Again, as with the last episode, since the BBC Micro is a British machine I thought it only right that my co-host for these episodes should be someone from the UK.   Daniel Jameson, a prominent member of the stardot forums, graciously agreed to help me with this and provide the “color” commentary during this episode.  I think he adds a lot to the show. Before getting into the details of the Beeb, I will talk a bit about new acquisitions and what I’ve been up to, a very brief mention of any upcoming shows, and then right into the meat of the episode.

Welcome to the first of several episodes that RGDS will be releasing to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of the Sega Mega Drive in Japan, hosted by our very own Matt L.   The Mega Drive was a big hit amongst fans of the early grey import scene, and we thought there was nobody better to guest on the show than Colin Dimond, the former co-owner of the infamous Console Concepts import store, based in Stoke-on-Trent during the late 80’s and early 90s.   Colin gives his expert insight into the impact the MD had on the import scene, where the MD lays amongst its competitors of the time and the legacy it left on the industry.   This is a fascinating conversation, and if you enjoyed Colin’s last appearance on RGDS in EP 197 (The Golden Age of Imports), you’ll simply love this one too.   #KeepItImport   @Lambomat @RGDSPodcast   All music on this episode is sourced from YouTube channel - Savaged Regime.   The author reproduces famous video game tracks (particularly Mega Drive) using the MD’s own Yamaha 2616 sound processor, but vastly more detailed.

In this episode of RGDS, it’s less talk about games, and more talk about how we play them! Andy hosts a fatal 4-way with Garron, Matt & Ric to discuss their gaming collections at large, how they setup their multiple gaming systems for use at home and what specialist equipment they use to get the job done. From real hardware, emulation, imports and Sony Trinitrons, this episode has it all and is well worth a listen for hints and tips on how to arrange the Ultimate Retro Gaming Setup. @RGDSPodcast @Gettwodachoppa @RetroShumper @Lambomat @RetroRic79   In episode music -    Title track - “It doesn’t matter” (Sonic Adventure 2)   13:00 - “Iron Blue Intention” Castlevania: The New Generation)   44:40 - “My Earth’  (GROWL aka Runark)   1:14:10 - Title Theme (MUSHA Aleste)   1:33:30 - “After Burner” (After Burner 2)   1:43:10 “Top Gear Remix (Snes) - Track 1 Synthwave / Retrowave Remix” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA7a_EEgwrw
