New blog post! Hey kids. Have you ever wanted to display the Impressionist masters on your NEC PC-6001 home computer system? Apparently I have. Let's learn some Z80 assembly and, more importantly, how the PC-6001 graphics work. #retrocomputing #pc6001 #z80 #monet #impressionism #artclass

New blog post! Remember when trusted adults promised you that you could be anything? Well, the Raspberry Pi Pico actually _can_ be a ROM cartridge for my beloved NEC PC-6001 home computer. Try not to get jealous of its success.

Wahoo! I finally got a 16k ROM booting off my Pico-based cart for the NEC PC-6001. Is this a multicart yet? No – I want it to do more than just be a multicart, but you can see it from here. #retrocomputing #pc6001 #raspberrypipico

New blog post! When my PC-6001mkII had a spotty keyboard, a Japanese hobbyist came to the rescue with this cool new mechanical PCB. Now I've got clicky-typing for days.

Please share! Especially to those who desire the joy of PC-6001.

Boy I hope I don't do something stupid like get confused about GPIO bitmasks. #retrocomputing #pc6001 #kicad

New blog post! If you buy an NEC PC-6001, you'll have lots of fun. In this case, the "fun" involved a corroded power cord. Come watch me put in a new power supply and a detachable cord plug on my second (of four) PC-6001!

It's really annoying soldering keyboard switches and making sure they stay straight. I was using sticky tack on the top to hold these Kailh Chocs in, but it would sag as the weight shifted. Sticking it on the back to hold the plastic alignment pins tight against the PCB seems to be working way better.

Time to put this NEC PC-6001mkII back on the road. I've had it for years, but the barely functioning keyboard has kept me using the PC-6601SR. I did forget how rough it looks. #retrocomputing #pc6001

Now I have the power of PC-6001 on the go, thanks to this repurposed Sharp Brain electronic dictionary and the iP6 emulator. #retrocomputing #pocketpc #pc6001
My Sharp Brain asking "how many pages?" on the PC-6001 boot screenI have typed in a hello world program and listed it. This took like ten minutesI am running the hello world program at 99.7% of a real PC-6001's speed.

The original worked fine, so I didn't really need to spend another 30 bucks for a version-two, but I'm glad I did. This revised PC-6001 PSU mounting board actually has all the holes in the right place, and includes convenient zip tie mounts to keep cable runs clean! #pc6001 #retrocomputing #kicad
A purple board marked "PC-6001 Meanwell adapter" holds cables taut against it with zip ties. Three out of the four holes have screws in them (I lost the last one under my desk.)

Got the power supply fully wired, tested on the bench, and the PC-6001 reassembled. Caps weren't shorted so I didn't change them. Guess what? They're shorted now!

I don't know why I thought this wouldn't short too. Every single p6 I've had has shorted the tantalum capacitors on the power input to the motherboard.

Kudos to the Meanwell for being smart enough not to power on the remaining rails unlike the stock PSU!

The PC-6001 PSU swap board has quite a few bugs but at least it holds the Meanwell in place. Next stop, harness building. #retrocomputing #kicad #pc6001
The red Meanwell adapter board has a Meanwell 3x2" power supply PCB sitting on top of it.

New blog post! When I want to play games on my NEC PC-6001, I don't have time to wait around for tapes to load. Let's port homebrew hero Inufuto's 32K arcade-style games to work on a cartridge! https://www.leadedsolder.com/2024/07/23/inufuto-cartridge-port-pc6001.html

Lubuntuに2048というパズルゲームが入っててうっかりハマってしまいw、Windowsやスマホ版もあるかなと探してはインストールしたが、ブラウザ版も普通にあるのね。ヽ(´ー`)ノ かなり単純なゲームだし、#PC6001 とか #MSX にも誰か移植しませんかね。(他力本願)

#オホーツクに消ゆ のオリジナル版は #PC6001 ですが、#PC8801 #PC9801 #FM7 #MSX でも出てたのね。MSXは6001に色つけた感じかなと思ったら驚きの独自CG。88/98/FM7は同じのを使いまわしだね。Switchリメイク版に全部収録なら8800円でも買ってたのだが。ファミコン版とPC-9801リメイク版もね。(゚-゚)b #レトロゲーム #レトロPC

My attempt at making a homebrew ROM/32k RAM cart for the NEC PC-6001 seems to have succeeded on the second try. I'm having trouble booting N60 Extended BASIC, but Canyon Climber fires up just fine.

If only I had remembered that the zif lever would get in the way of inserting it into the cartridge slot. Whoops #retrocomputing #pc6001 #kicad #retrocomputer
The cartridge, with a zif socket containing a rom saying N60E/MP/CC and a 62256.Basic has started, and says over 30k of memory is available.Canyon Climber has fully loaded and is in its attract loop.

Took me awhile but I finally figured out how to shoot in Tutankham. (You have to hold left or right AND push space.) #pc6001 #konami #retrogaming #retrocomputing
A red beam is coming out of my intrepid explorer. I've already popped a few enemies as seen by my score in the lower left increasing from 0.
