Re: Greetings from Mexico City!

Oh Wow!
Welcome Oscar! Since youu announced the port to Creativision, a bunch of groups and forums I belong to have been talking about CVBasic, and now, here you are! I must say, it's an amazing effort.

Thanks so much for porting to our little system!

Re: Hi from North Carolina, USA

Hi Charles, Welcome aboard. Lots of us here are hardware hackers, so you're in good company. My latest project (waiting fof the PCBs to arrive) is a Colecovision replacement controller as a single PCB in a more modern form factor. The joysticks on the CV were always the weak point. There's a HUGE th...

Re: Sme keys not Working

While there's a chance it could be the cable, it's almost overwhelmingly more likely to be the membrane. They are difficult to fix. (I have never got using conductive ink to work on one of these) At this point, there aren't any membrane replacement as it's too niche a product to get the scale needed...

Re: Dick Smith Wizzard on Display in Sydney

Hey Amagni, Good to see you here :-) Have a look in the hardware section for solutions for controllers from both myself and from Tom. If you're interested, I might have some PCBs for the controller replacements somewhere I can mail across. I'll also see if I have enough parts to make ACMS a basic mu...

Nice work Mobsie.
The invaders have a definite "Spider" feel to me.

Re: CreatiVision Emulation on the DS/DSi

That's some damned impressive work!
I love the subtle split in the touch keyboard harking back to the real keyboard.
I guess I better get some way of running homebrew on my 3DS organised :-D

Re: Derivavision - a Creativision clone

Awesome work! Now, as for the controller. I've been thinking about this. If you're hitting the 6821 directly for your controller solution, I was wondering if you could do something clever with a Teensy 2, or some other similarly embedded microprocessor? Because of the commonality of the pins, you ca...
