Lately I’ve been doing a lot of work on the rosco_m68k hardware, specifically on integrating the new Yamaha V9958 video board.

It’s been a while!
Wow, looks like I’ve not blogged since February! Doesn’t seem that long, but there you go… I’ve actually been really busy lately, with work and other things. Mostly I’ve been spending some time getting our new app into beta (check it out at http://retroify.me). It’s been a bit of a learning curve for me (it’sContinue reading “It’s been a while!”
