I kid you not, @itchio has been taken down by @OriginalFunko because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called @BrandShieldltd that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, @iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

It feels appropriate to learn to program on this machine using a period appropriate method, Books! #amiga

I've finally merged my Darkseed engine into the main ScummVM repo. Still a bunch to do like music and SFX but it's getting there. 🙂

VHS-Decode has to be one of the most interesting software projects I've stumbled upon recently. It replaces the decoding process of a VHS tape with a software stack, bypassing most of the original hardware. Using an FPGA device for RF capture like the MiSTer, it creates a "lossless" digital archive, which then runs through demodulation, noise filtering, chroma decoders, and more to create an archive in significantly higher quality than could ever be made with traditional methods. Multiple tapes can even be combined and merged to create a capture that is better than any one individual tape. This is amazing for archival purposes; instead of storing tapes which are just going to continue to get worse with age, imagine backing up multiple RF-copies to the cloud!

Reveal the classic hit from Apogee without dropping its real name!
'OH NO!' is seen at the bottom of the screen; it looks like the player must have fallen! You can see an area where you could platform and a bright blue sky and mountains in the background.

I've made some progress on my ScummVM Darkseed engine. Some room transitions now work and the player is positioned and scaled correctly. #DOSGaming
