A few days ago, my groovebox, the #SynthstromDeluge, running the new and awesome community-built firmware, crashed, which was very cool.

Not that it crashed, but what happened next: It displayed a colorful pattern on its pads.

That's a stack trace. It's listing the last steps the code made before crashing. The devs are have asked to be sent photos of these, to help them find bugs.

I've pasted it on Discord, and there's a _bot_ that recognizes these images and decodes them into addresses!

huge thankyou to @mavica_again who fixed one of my ZX Spectrums, and is currently fixing two more for me :)
It did a very thorough job of repairing, tuning, and composite-modding this machine that was really showing its age. It now has a lovely stable image with all the right colours.
If you need an old computer fixing up, definitely see if Mavica has some time :)

Jeremy Parish uploaded a VHS rip of Famimaga Video (November 1988) which features an early version of the artwork for Chase H.Q. - the characters are more obviously Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams.

The final version of the art moved the mustache to Ford's face. #taito #chasehq #harrisonford #billydeewilliams

It's Rick Parks Admiration Day, again.
No scanning; done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga.

- 1989
- 16 colors (!!)
- Hires interlaced (NTSC)
- How the F?

For those that don't know Rick's name, you likely know his work very well. He worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.

Rick died in 1996, 7 years after creating this image.
