I know that feeling. But at least my feline weight is only a little fluffy and not a full on furball like Penelope. (Keeping it retro with her picture on a 464plus)

Probably, but since you have an M4 you can just sling Boel Llopis's Amstrad Diag rom and pop that into the lower rom slot (Most easily mapped to slot 0) then boot it. It will give you the exact RAM IC's that are faulty.

So, I went to see "The Running Man" on Friday evening, and whilst this is undoubtedly better in every way than the Arnie version. I have been myself myself the following question over and over since leaving the cinema....

Where did they get all those Aston Martin Lagonda's from?

Well my new Raspberry Pi 500+ arrived on Saturday.

Fortunately I was quick enough, and bought the last Guilietta imported into Ireland. Brand new in 2021. I loved it then, and I still love it now.

#vinyl #nowplaying Now that everyone else has gone to bed, it's time for some Robert Plant, just for me.

#vinyl #nowplaying There was no way on earth I was not going to buy this one. It sounds amazing now it is released for the first time in 40 years..... And the first time ever on baby blue vinyl.

I still have every computer I've ever owned. So can I have a console? In which case it is my Sega Saturn.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hahaha just listening to you wax lyrical of pong and breakout. Some of us are still there.

Once or twice I year I turn my lounge into a tribute to gaming machines from the 1980's (up to today, there wass an Xbox Series X behind me when I took this photo)

Well it's a compilation... But a good one. Loads of good songs from the year of my birth. Let's just forget the UK No.1 on my actual birthday (yesterday)

Okay, and I appologise for this but it's a plea for help! I have a "SuperPocket Go CM3" console that I bought in 2020. It runs from a Raspberry Pi CM3. but the SD card in it has failed. The maker (MyGameCase.com) is defunct. Has anyone got a firmware image I can write to a new card.

I've been looking forward to this!
