To make the miniature floppy drive LED light up when VICE is using the virtual disk image, we need to patch VICE source code and write some new code to pass instructions on to the PI and toggle the LED activity light.

Let’s download, compile, and install the VICE Commodore 64 emulator on a fresh Raspberry Pi 4 install. We’ll make sure it works in a non windows console by running a Commodore demo program.

This isn’t de facto behavior out of the box for a Raspberry Pi – so how do we auto mount USB drives to make access and file copying easier?

In the last post, I mused over the main electronic guts of what would become a Tardis themed arcade build. All I knew is that I’d build something to enclose…

I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with electronics. Nothing terribly serious, just a few notches beyond basic understanding of circuits, primarily to control servos and power/manipulate LEDs. I can at least say…
