This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.

The scar is true to the character from the original novels.

Yes and no. The GDPR applies to personal data, which is to say data pertaining to a personally identifiable subject. Data can be anonymised in order to satisfy the right for deletion, making it no longer personal data, so they can delete your name but keep the content if they want. This is what Reddit does when you delete your account - the content remains but they replace your name with [deleted]. Things get a little more dicey if you reveal enough information in the content of your posts to still render you identifiable, in which case they would be obliged to remove that information so that you could no longer be identified.

This is a 5 year old post by now, although it's worth being reminded of Amigakit's dodgy behaviour.

So many great point & click adventures coming out these days

Time-travel adventure Old Skies from Wadjet Eye Games is out now in c/adventuregames@lemm.ee

Really enjoying this one. Definitely among the best time travel stories I've experienced. Beautiful art & animation. Great voice acting. It's Wadjet Eye at their very best.

Just a thought but if you have access to an inverter or isolation transformer, you could test the machine without your house wiring being a complicating factor.

The keycaps thing is a huge problem now because of the widespread use of Chromebooks with butterfly switches. 9 times out of 10 if one of those caps is torn off, the switch is permanently damaged and the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.

You will absolutely need gnd to be hooked up to get anything out of it. If the baud rate was incorrect, you would probably receive garbage characters rather than nothing at all.

PDFs are perfect for the one thing they were designed for, which is publishing high quality proofs for printing. They aren't supposed to be editable. People just use them where they shouldn't.

Started this last night. The animation is gorgeous and the voice acting is mostly great aside from a few inaccurate accents. Very light on puzzles so far; the focus is very much on storytelling.

Robin Hood Amiga Retro Group (RHAG) March 2025 (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Today was our bimonthly meeting of the Robin Hood Amiga Group in Nottingham, UK.

Today's presentation was delivered by team behind the DeMoN project, which is a reverse-engineered and upgraded Action Replay 3 cart with tons of cool new features. Here is their demo unit plugged into a stock A500.

There was a diverse range of wonderful machines on show, including a CD32, Vampire standalone, A1200 PiStorm setup, a retro console table and a gorgeous A1000 setup.

We also had a visit from the Who Dares Wins Amiga BBS team, which is an oldskool 90s BBS that has been brought back to life by the original operators.

One of our members was showing off his progress on a ZX Spectrum clone project using the Tang Nano FPGA board.

A couple of cool homebuilt Amiga CD32 joysticks were on show.

Also, two of us were there showing off our work-in-progress Denise ITX Amiga builds.

Atari ST RAM upgrade (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I'm fitting a Marpet 4MB upgrade to my STFM today. What a hassle! PLCC socket hot glued on top of the surface mount MMU, interposer board inside the metal can and further mods needed to disable the onboard RAM.

GOTEK setup for reverse sleeper (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

My latest project is an XT-class build in a modern looking case (Sergey's Xi 8088) complete with LED fans, window in the side panel, etc.

Normally, I would try to source real floppy drives for a project like this. However, in this case, to make it more modern-looking, I'm going GOTEK+FlashFloppy.

My question is: let's say I want to be able to use most kinds of DOS floppy images, including 5.25", 3.5", double density and high density. If I configure the GOTEK in the BIOS as a 1.44mb drive, would it also accept 720k images? Would it also take 360k or 1.2mb images or would I need a second GOTEK configured as a virtual 5.25" drive to cover all the bases?

Atari ST internal storage? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Does anybody have any experience of trying to fit internal storage into their ST? I'd prefer to have everything all in one unit drawing from the internal PSU if possible. I'm using a 1040 STFM.

I've seen references to a product called Lightning ST which has a wiki page but no indication of whether or where it is for sale.

I've also found this project: https://github.com/agranlund/STBlitter_RevA but no reviews or information from people who have built it.

If you have tried it, what kind of clearance issues did you have? Did you run without shielding? Did you cut parts of the shielding away? How does it fit with other expansions e.g. 4mb RAM?
