Nice :)

Small addon on for my Evercade EXP-R arrived yesterday @Icky


Of course if you have an older model without tate mode it's a bit irrelevant, but it is surprisingly comfortable to hold.

Since I had the SACK PC-Speed board on my workbench and my soldering iron was out, I got going on that as well as the Cosmac ELF II:


Very fast to build, I just need to get the missing sockets installed when they arrive and then I can see what parts I'm missing for the rest of the build.

Those are looking good @rubber_jonnie!

I was always wanting a h/w PC emulator BITD as PC-DITTO was soooo slow...

Maybe I should try PC-DITTO on a fast PC (emulate an ST emulating a PC.... because I can ;) ) or the DFB1X even...

I do have 4 spare boards for the PC-Speed build so if anyone is interested then give me a shout.

Going for Inception there :)

My daily driver is a Macbook Pro, on which I also run Windows 11 under Parallels Desktop and under that I have run emulators like Hatari etc, so the concept is not unknown to me :)

Oooh, must have a look at that.

Have you seen the new Evercade Nexus - https://evercade.co.uk/evercade-nexus/

Similar MacBook Pro with VMWare Fusion to run Linux Mint running Hatari

I have recently been porting my VMWare images over to Proxmox PVE, I built a machine from a X99 motherboard to run all manner of VMs from OS/2 to BeOS etc.

Also I know you have a Evercade-VS as well have you seen these - https://funstock.co.uk/products/evercad ... controller
