I'm talking about Europe here.
In the 80s there was a sucessful wave of 8bit computers: ZX Spectrum, Commodore C64, MSX, Amstrad CPC 664, some of them more succesfull than others, but the next 8bit wave IMHO was far from successful.: Spectrum 128/+2, Sinclair QL, Commodore C128, MSX2,... Any thoughts about this?

And now for possibly one of the fanciest and coolest directory listings you’ll ever see on a Commodore

The 8 Bit Guy’s Histories of Commodore
I'm still deep in the 8-bit computing weeds right now, and I always look to connect what I'm personally researching with what I put up on Set Side B. So lucky you, what I've been looking at today is The 8-Bit Guy's videos about the history of Commodore!

It's a series of videos (yes, on Youtu

Working on Soft-Sprites on the VDC-Chip. Works on a byte-level already, the cyan pixels show that work on the pixel level is still needed (2 pixels per byte in this case).
Rendering these 10 soft-sprites in a basic-loop takes about 9 jiffies at 2 MHz.

Do you think VICE will ever get SuperCPU 128 support? Also, is VICE low on active devs?

NEW VIDEO: How to create your own fun (yes, FUN!) personal database using GeoFile on a Commodore computer, with images added from your own GeoPaint pixel art. Our machines are for more than great games!

Old software is sometimes the best software. Keep that GEOS love flowing! youtu.be/rmhNnAPhlI4

@jameshowell @tfb @jbqueru @gumnos @mms Yeah, reminds me of the famous story how some guy "fixed" the #C128 #CPM implementation in the #hotel just before #CES presentation for some broken hardware requiring writing a register *twice* to work as intended ... using a stupid DISK EDITOR (and calculating the stupid sector checksums manually). Source: Bil Herd's emails telling all the C128 dev story ... 🙈

Ok, it's kind of awesome to have THAT kind of skillz, but also kind of weird 😆
