You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Not died.Far from it. Smonson has designed and currently building a more integrated version to test out. Then it will put on us testers to test out.

I'd be very interested and ready to support this if it was also available for the STE. Please remind me, but didn't I read somewhere that, at least at this point, this isn't being pursued? Something about some of the chip's functions being absorbed into other chips in the STE's design, or something along those lines?

Thanks, and awesome work guys, even if I can't benefit from it.

That was it. Thanks Exxos.

I was hoping that someone would say, "Oh no, that got corrected a long time ago. We found a way to do it!"

I really wasn't expecting it though.

There might be a way, if I remember correctly, where the HDMI-board could sit pass-through between the motherboard and the original STE GST-MCU. Slightly different project though.

Yeah, I also think it's doable. Instead of emulating the shifter it'd just read the RGB output pins, hsync, and vsync, and act as a traditional scandoubler. But since I don't own an STE I'm gonna have to leave it to someone else.

Nice, it got smaller and single board.

I should really give my original model a go in my Mega ST 4. Have a Mega ST 1 coming this weekend too, so lots of opportunities.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
