Back at it again with all the EEPROM-related goofin’! I needed to order up a new batch of cartridges for Spider Web, the game I wrote for the Atari 2600. In the past, I had just used the standard Pixels Past cartridge but with hand soldered modifications to make it work for the EEPROM chips… Continue reading Atari 2600 EEPROM Cartridge

Let’s Talk About Spider Web…
Figured I’d add a little context and show off the physical release for Spider Web for the Atari 2600. Sorry for the cruddy unscripted, single-take video! Sometimes, you’ve just got to make it happen. 😛
C64 EEPROM Adapter Now Available!
This one was a quick one, but I really wanted to bring this product to market to give a simple but effective option to people who need ROM replacements on their Commodore 64s or any other device with a 2332/64 mask rom. I tried my best to set up the Tindie product with all the… Continue reading C64 EEPROM Adapter Now Available!
Small Batch Run of Spider Web for the Atari 2600!
I’m on a Tindie-spree, y’all! Back in 2022, I completed work on a simple but challenging game for the Atari 2600/VCS console written entirely in 6502 assembly, Spider Web. Though you can play it in its entirety online on itch.io, I had always wanted from the beginning to make physical cartridges with all the extra… Continue reading Small Batch Run of Spider Web for the Atari 2600!
New batch of nano SwinSIDb-Piggybacks available!
I’ve been bad, it’s true. I’ve had a load of extra bits floating around just waiting to built into cute little SID chips for what? Like over a year now?? It was finally time to fix this grave error. Using some new techniques I’ve picked up over the past few months, I buckled down and… Continue reading New batch of nano SwinSIDb-Piggybacks available!
C64 EEPROM Adapter
Recently got my hands on an old Commodore 64 with bad mask ROMs (kernal, basic, character, etc). Luckily, I’ve got a huge stash of AT28C64B EEPROMs from back when I was working on Atari cartridges! After some side-by-side comparisons with the original mask ROM pinouts (2364 & 2332), I decided it was best to create… Continue reading C64 EEPROM Adapter
First Show(s), and It’s Been A Long Time Coming
You heard it right, I’m finally dragging all my silly electronic gear over to someone else’s living room to play a gosh darned show. As you probably could have guessed, I started ReLiC shortly after the pandemic hit in 2020. This was mostly because all of the bands I was in (including my baby, Crystal… Continue reading First Show(s), and It’s Been A Long Time Coming
Cruisin’ USA but it’s a song
Had this one brewin’ for what felt like a millennia. Sometimes you just gotta let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Hope you dig it! I decided to go in a guitar-focused route on this one. Hopefully it doesn’t stick though because my synthesizers are getting jealous.
