Join me for my yearly play through of the Night in the Woods supplemental games, “Longest Night” and “Lost Constellation”. Jump to 08:46 to skip past all my stream setup stuff.

Having trouble getting MiSTerFS to work on the AO486 core? Topaz Rabbit walks you through a workaround you can do on the Linux side of the MiSTer, then describes how that workaround works.

Thanks to Tyrel (@tyrel@social.tyrel.dev), Jim (@ijimkoz@mastodon.social)!

I had two pieces in the Amiga Art Contest 2022, one of which I drew in Disney Presents: The Animation Studio, and the other I did in True Brilliance 2.0. There was a lot of amazing art and animation in the show this year, and you should check out all the entries.

Now that I know what I’m doing on the platform, I’ll be ready to make an even more impressive showing in 2023!

I wanted to store my completed AjSTer AIO MiSTer computer vertically when not in use. Inspired by some stands for other all-in-one computers, I designed this particular stand which seems to work pretty well.

You can get the STL from Thingiverse. Enjoy!

Well not only did I have to take a Blender-shaped knife to the top of the case, I also have to take one to the side of the case as well.

I can’t get power over to the USB hub via the DE-10 Nano without some creative solution. I’ve seen one build where someone soldered a power cable coming off of the DE-10 to power the USB hub, but I’m not that confident in my soldering skills right now to try that.

So I’m going to cut a hole in the case for the DE-10 power plug, then run a cable out the side and back into the case for the hub. I also need to print a different USB hub-side of the case, ‘cause I printed the one for two exposed USB ports and I only have one over there. Oops.

At least I have all the electronics components I need to build this thing. And once it’s all built and working, I’ll put up my modified files on Thingiverse and here for others to use.
