I’m releasing VChar64 v1.0.0, exactly 11 years after the first public release, and about 9 years after the latest release.

I am excited to announce the release of Regenerator 2000, a modern take on the classic Regenerator tool for the Commodore 64 and other 6502-based computers.

I’m learning knitting, not sure for how long I’ll keep it up, but this is my “Hello World” project, a kind-of scarf.

Haven’t you heard of Grossini?

This is my first in-the-hoop doll project: His name is “Guali” and it is a voodoo doll.

Who remembers the Commodore 64 video game “International Tennis” ?

For Halloween 2025, I made myself a costume.

The challenge with the Outrun sprite is that it has multiple colors, but many islands of only a few pixels, so it requires multiple jump-stitches, or so I thought so.

This past weekend, I had two events: Vintage Computer Festival West, at the Computer History Museum.

I’ve been asked a few times which embroidery machine.

This past Saturday (2025-07-19) I went to Open Sauce.

First of all, if you are not familiar with Ransome the Clown, you should stop right now, and play the great video game Thimbleweed Park.

This time the idea was to embroider the scene of the video game in two t-shirts.

Long story short, about 6 months ago I started a new hobby: machine-embroidery.

I’ve been using WordPress for many years.

Bluepad32 v4.0-beta.0 is released and contains many new features: Raspberry Pi Pico W support.

Unijoysticle 2 C64 adds Bluetooth gamepad functionality to the Commodore 64/128.

I’ve just released Bluepad32 v3.7.0 with two important features: Arduino IDE support In addition to ESP32, it also supports ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C3 (only BLE gamepads supported.)

I discovered a way to send 1-bit of data from the Commodore 64 to the Joysticks.

Unijoysticle 2 A500 is a device that enables Bluetooth gamepads and mice on the Commodore Amiga.

TL;DR: Support for Amiga and Atari ST mice, USB console, and re-connect improvements.

Unijoysticle 2+ For those not familiar with Unijoysticle 2, it is a device that allows you to use modern Bluetooth gamepads like Sony DualSense or Nintendo Switch controllers (to name just a few) on old computers like the Commodore 64 or Amiga.

It is now possible to use Bluetooth gamepads both in Arduino and CircuitPython projects.

This is the third blog-post regarding “building a video-game console for (my) kids”.

The ideal modern-retro video game console My goal is to build a video game console for (my) kids.

I’m happy to announce the release of Bluepad32: gamepad support for the ESP32.

In order to create Commando 2084, I had to disassemble Commando.

Commando 2084 is the mix between Commando and Robotron 2084: it is like the original Commando game, but using the Robotron 2084 controls.

Announcing Unijoysticle 2: Use modern Bluetooth controllers (gamepads, mice, smart TV remote controllers) in retro computers like the Commodore 64/128, Atari ST, Amiga and more.

Like the original Unijoysticle, but remove WiFi and add Bluetooth.

A few months ago I got an Atari 1040 STF.

Updated 2018–10–08 A demo for the IBM PCjr by Pungas de Villa Martelli.

The Cromemco System Three is a Z-80 based computer.

It’s well-known that you should measure the performance of your code, and not rely only on the opcode’s “cycle counts”.

IBM PCjr zero-day data-destroy vulnerability (AKA: Joykill).

The IBM PCjr BIOS is very well documented in the IBM PCjr Technical Reference manual (a must read for every PCjr developer).

Happy new year!

With PVM with released an intro for the Tandy 1000 HX.

A few months ago we ( Pungas de Villa Martelli) released the 4Kindness, a 4K intro for Silesia Party 8.

Me encuentro confundido, perdido espiritualmente.

Volví de viaje.

I’ve been busy.

Cocos2d (Python) In February 2008, at Los Cocos, Córdoba, Argentina, we started the “Los Cocos” Python game engine.

A few months ago we released the Argentine Songbook Vol. 1 chipdisk.
