Retro & Homebrew Computing

Creating, learning and being nerdy.
I like old computers, retro coding & homebrew computer making.
Hail Wozniak!

BBC = BreadBoard Computer 🙂. This is my 6502 based homebrew computer, plays a decent game of Tetris too 🕹️

@Umesh__digital @kamelito I remember learning to program C on my Amiga A500 sometime early 1989. Perfect combination of high level productivity and low level efficiency still relevant today.
And thanks to its syntactic influence almost every major language feels familiar and accessible.
What a legend 🙏🏽

@oric_iss Oh I wish I had time today, maybe next year! 😅🤗

Well it's Star Wars day again - here's another tribute on my homebrew computer!😎🤓

@rhayadercompute Had this on the 800xl. Great game especially 2 player watching your opponent take ages to line up and then whack the ball miles too far because they forgot to change the club 😅😅

@mrdoornbos @G7KVE @CharlesHawn66 @0xC0DE6502 @EleonoraSayaka @KariLawler @Olimex @HereBeDragons3 @animatedALex75 Trying to follow BASIC spaghetti code is like..
But great days!😂😂

@_trish_xD I had an Amiga with a software PC emulator equivalent to a 0.8Mhz 8088. And Borland C was still faster than some native Amiga C compilers😅😅😅😅

@6502nerd There's a few of them, a few more pictures to follow...

@nyimski The fruit machines are a blast from the past for me, I used to write the software for them!

Retrofest 2026 in Swindon is not long now - hope to see you there!

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

@nyimski Wow brilliant and a great goal!
Some pics in the future will be welcomed by lots of folks on here!

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

@nyimski Ah yeah I know what you mean.. I've got a small collection to remind me of the machines my mates at school had including C64, Speccy, ZX81.
I am kept in check by the wife, and good job too I think 😅😅

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

@VirtualJames Didn't doubt it! 🤗🤘🏽🤘🏽

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

@nyimski There was one last year and it was sold out, so we're hoping for similar this year. If it's popular then I guess there would be reason to do it again next year 🤞🏽
There's a great retro computing museum in Leicester too!

@Mjay23 Do get them out from time to time!
There are still people writing new software and creating cheap but fantastic hardware to make using these computers still fun after more than 40 years!

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

@nyimski Agree, we need more of this!
See a load of it for real in Swindon 🤘🏽

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

@VirtualJames Wow beautiful collection! 🤩 🤩 🤘🏽

@aditiitwt I started learning C++ in 1990 at university, and used it ever since in professional and hobby settings.
Although to be fair, I've not finished learning 😂😂

OTHELLO

I place a tile… I flip a tile… #Oric moves and thinks: “To be… or not to be?”

@KevinToms Whsmith was definitely my favourite shop in those days. Used to hang around for ages thumbing through the computer mags and then look at all the software I couldn't buy as I had an Oric-1 at home 😭 😭 😂 😂

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

Can my homebrew computer on breadboard control a real-world device? Yes it can!😎

This is 1980s style computing with some basic transistor interfacing to allow a pin on the homebrew's AY-3-8910 chip to control a fan!🤓
