For any coders or the coder curious, there's our GitHub organisation called sceners. It contains almost 150 source-code repositories for 1980s - 2000s era DOS/Windows hacks, patches, trainers etc in ASM, C, Pascal, and even freebasic? github.com/sceners

@Xylit0l Yeah, FF and Chrome use the same google search blacklists. I can request a review on google to get the block cleared. But then the bots enable it again not long after. :/

Browser blocking downloads? The site is having dramas with google's safe browsing crawlers whereby (I think) "uncommon" exe binaries that are offered as downloads generate site-wide red flags. I'm enabling Always use HTTPS to see if that helps.

@ModernVintageG Great vid! I remember thinking it wasn't too smart for ROR/tklp to play an underdog & falsely release a demo as a full title. Knowing everyone would realize after the actual game came out. But tklp was only 14 at a time when most groups who dealt with AAA titles were a bit older.

The joys of Internet monopolies. If left unchecked, this could get the site blacklisted on Google, Chrome and Edge. The left pane is G's Search Console & the right is G's VirusTotal. It's the same link but with the total opposite results 🤷

At last, there is support for tracker music playback on the site so now you can get your chiptune on. Please feel free to upload your favourite nostalgic intro and cracktro tunes to add to the collection. defacto2.net/file/list?outp…

Something that has long been overdue. The essence of Defacto2, the files, now has a table of contents. It should make file discovery that much easier. defacto2.net/file/index

@lazygamereviews @LongwoodGeek I have a HX with that lo-tech RAM card and it works perfectly. But the HX doesn't have standard PC ISA slots, so you'll need an additional adapter like this. tindie.com/products/Cyber…

I am happy to announce the DOS emulator on Defacto2 is now on GitHub under GPL3! DOSee is a DOS focused port of the archive.org emulation project with an easy setup that allows adjustable hardware and display choices by users in their browsers. github.com/bengarrett/DOS…

@Nanatake Thanks! It's always great to hear from people who enjoy + get a nostalgia hit from the site. It makes all the collecting and curating worth it. There are sceners who idle on Facebook, maybe someone you know liked the Razor 1911 page :P
