Latest features in enhanced #Acorn #Electron #Elite: * Proper disk access menu * Military lasers * Extended system descriptions (edible poets!) * System search * Planetary details (meridians/equators and craters) * Fast, flicker-free graphics Looking good! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro

Bonus video: someone asked me to show the two ships looking at each other in a spaghetti-western style. Here you go: Cobra vs Viper, head-on. It doesn't end well.

Overall the speed improvements aren’t too bad. They don’t quite reach the speed of the #BBCMicro shown here, as screen memory and zero page are still accessed at 1MHz, so there's a limit to what's possible. But hopefully it’s enough to support Thargoids, suns, planetary details and more! (4/4)

The first speed-up is to move speed-critical code into sideways RAM. Main memory on the Electron is shared with screen memory so it can only be accessed at 1MHz, but SRAM can be accessed at 2MHz, so this can really help. You can see the speed increase here: original on left, SRAM on right. (2/4)

The incomparable @negativecharge.bsky.social recently converted the Commodore 64 Elite music to the Electron. I've finally found time to add it to Electron Elite. Here's the docking computer in all its one-channel glory. Turn your sound on! #retrocomputing #retrogaming #electron #bbcmicro #8bit

The enhanced version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite continues to grow. I've now added the ship hangar, which gets shown when you dock. This feature was only in the BBC and NES versions, and not the Commodore 64 or Apple II, so that's a one-up for the Elk. 🫡 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit

Here’s an example - the iconic box art from the BBC Micro version, brought to life in-game. And there’s a Commodore 64 version too. You can even swap files between the two, so you can create a scene on a Beeb, save it and play it on a C64. I really enjoyed building this one, I have to say!

#Elite on the #Acorn #Electron is slow - way slower than on the #Commodore64, for example. But how does the enhanced 16K SRAM version cope? Turns out enhanced Electron Elite is faster than the #C64! Sure, it can't compare on colour or music. But... result! 🚀 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcelite

Enhanced #Elite on the #Acorn #Electron now has 31 different ship types (compared to just 11 in the original). Here's a little clip showing an encounter with a Krait and a Mamba on the way to the sun. Coming soon... Thargoids! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcmicro #8bit

Today's addition to #Acorn #Electron #Elite is the energy bomb animation from the Apple II, BBC Master and NES. In the original Electron version, the energy bomb did little more than beep gently. Now it rages with lightning bolts! That's much better. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit #bbcmicro

@whitehouse.senate.gov said it plainly: Callias exposes this Supreme Court for what it has become — a partisan institution. They’ve helped Republicans rig maps, helped fund the fossil fuel corporations, and now they want to make voters feel powerless. Bad news for them: angry voters show up.

Trump is ramping up election fraud claims again. There is still no evidence of fraud that could change the results. So the real question being raised is this. Is this just reaction to past losses? Or could it be setting the stage for what comes next? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7f_Mnp5s6o

Last week, we saw several state legislatures, emboldened by an extremist Supreme Court, move to further disenfranchise Black voters. Here in New York, we should be proud that we are taking the opposite approach by making it easier for all eligible New Yorkers to exercise their right to vote.
