Finally had time to play a game of Star Trek on the #F256K by the industrious Ernesto, who's a maestro at making fully completed superbasic programs. He even put out a manual for it!

It just doesn't have that sense of style though.

I'd love to have a full modern computer in something like the format of the Foenix F256K, which just looks so cool.

Mistigram: A colourful ##ANSIart logo celebrating Foenix's ##F256K hobbyist computer, running on the Western Design Center 65C02 microprocessor, was drawn by @ZeusII for the retrocomputing-themed Jolly Roger BBS. This piece was included in the recent MIST-30 artpack celebration.
A logo reading F256K blasts across the screen, with the letters on the left in red, the ones in the middle in green and the ones on the right in blue, culminating in a yellow explosion blast -- all outlined in purple against a black backdrop

if you want an intro video on what this new retro computer is all about, considering watching my F256K (first "generation") while keeping in mind that the 2nd one is 100% retrocompatible and has more devices.

A weekend Game Jam is happening for the Retro Foenix System #F256K, #F256Jr and #F256K2. Double the participants as the one last April. Here's some progress screens ATM. All are using the 65816 as their cpu of choice. I'll be doing an entry as well, stay "tuned"....

After a solid fight, I did it! MP3 playback with my C source code running on a 8bit 6502 machine with 512kb of RAM, the #F256K2 which has a VS1053b chip. I don't do this for a living so I'll call it an achievement for me!

My Game Jam entry is done, programmed in C, meant for #F256K, K2, Jr. or Jr.2 from #Foenix Retro Systems. Supports simple PSG sound for the older machines, but MIDI for the newer as well.
I will port this to 68k macs in time!

Trying to organize my modern retro systems. From left to right - the #mega65, #zxspectrum Next, Foenix F256K and Amiga 1200.

Still have to find places for the Commander X16 and a few others. Maybe clean off the top shelf! I wish I had a huge room that I could keep them all hooked up at once.

Outdated but all the main elements are present
Computer desk space with an old Mac plus, a f256k, a modern PC, a vintage 486 PC. Floating shelves with big box pc Games. A Bench area with various tools for soldering and wire stripping. A full length midi piano is in front of the bench. Various RGB light glares illuminate the wall behind all that.
