had to flush my buffers and de-fragment my brain today, so I went to the #Volksgarten / #Suedpark (people's garden / south park ) in #Duesseldorf today ...
TIL about the #flightgearsimulator add-on "High Air Trader" (https://github.com/peterclifton/HighAirTrader) which adds a little mini game to the sim in which you can get small transport jobs, reminiscent of the mail delivery jobs in #soloflight
Finally!! It's back!! 🥳
Last October, I gave my #Amiga1200 to a friend who gave it to a friend so that this friend would perform a full #recapping of the machine. The reason being that despite the chips being "good" I just got no audio out of it.
And yesterday I got it back - all fixed, tested and working. I'm so happy!
I was lucky to find a #RetroScaler 2x at a very affordable price and just couldn't resist.
Today it arrived, along with 3 meters of #Commodore64 video cable. The latter features Composite, SCART *and* S-Video plugs, so now I'm settled.
had a grand day out, now chillin' ...

Schicksalsspiel ... ich schreibe ja wenig bis gar nicht über meine zweite große Leidenschaft, #Fussball und vorallen #F95 aber in diesem Fall mache ich eine Ausnahme:
Am Samstag hat der #FCSchalke04 die große Chance, seine Rückkehr in die #Bundesliga perfekt zu machen. Ich gönne es der Mannschaft und dem Verein. Ich habe damals, im Sommer 2001 mit einem königsblauen die schlimmen Momente der 4-Minuten-Meisterschaft erlebt, seitdem hege ich zumindest etwas Sympathie für diesen Verein.
Dummerweise handelt es sich bei dem kommenden Gegner der Schalker um meine geliebte #Fortuna die (dank völlig schwachsinniger Transferpolitik in vergangenen Sommer) im gleichen Spiel gegen den Abstieg in die dritte Liga kämpft.
Kann man sich nicht ausdenken, so ein Endspurt-Finale ...
I wanted to be able to run #VolksForth for the #Commodore64 from a .CRT image so that it becomes immediately available at power on (just like you can do with #DurexForth ).
So I found this nice little #Python script below which converts your *.PRG file to a *.CRT file and adds a bootloder to it.
Some of you probably know this already, but I was very happy to find it - works with #Python3 as well:
tinkering with #durexforth on the
#Commodore64, doing some #retrocoding
I have compiled Durexforth from source, using the "master" branch. The main reason for this being that - unlike the official 5.0.0 release - the most recent code allows the S" word to be used in interactive mode.
Even more interesting is the fact that there already is a COUNT word but not its counterpart PLACE - so I provided that myself. And that eventually enabled me to provide a new, custom word: S, (which you may know from gforth)
S, will add a counted string to the dictionary, starting at HERE
Which eventually gives us a the ability to create nice lists of strings. 💡
Now, why do all of this (despite having fun)? 🤔
Well, remember when I put together a two-word parser for a simple #textadventure #game in DX-Forth on CP/M? 🔄
(@Wintermute_BBS@oldbytes.space)
With my additions in place that code now also runs on Durexforth without any changes (despite ASCII to PETSCII conversion) .... yay!
Gibt es in meiner #Fedibubble Leute, die sich mit der #Reperatur von #Kassettenrecordern auskennen?
Bandname der Stunde: Punkrabatt ....
