Preparing to kick Yak's arse.

Post by gilesgoat »

And so I did it ...

On a beautyful Sunday morning after last Yak's Robotron's post I
decided "ok, that's too much now it's my turn as well" ...

After grabbing clothes at random while trying to drink a NCoT in 10
seconds to quickly run to the only electric material store opened on
Sunday I took a quick run with my moped there and I got what I missed.

Then .. I had to face the very hard task to clean up my desk and
re-organize my room ... now it looks even more geeky and to the
left of my developement machine here now lies ..

StarForce

the original Jamma card by Tehkan ...

I am already doomed .. "just for a test if all works" and I already did
3 plays ... but it's there now, always ready for a game .. :twisted:

Now my mission is "kick Yak's arse" I know it will be very hard but
I can't let him kick my arse in almost every game my arse it's
getting sore :lol: :lol: (altought I kicked his at Android One :twisted: )

Oh boys .. StarForce here permanently connected .. :mrgreen:

Photos to follow later, I still have to set it "better" and "fine tune" it :D

So here the photos :)

My glorious StarForce board, perfectly in service since 1984 :!:

I only had to replace a couple of electrolitic condenser once.

Image

Here how the setup looks, I don't have a cabbage so I can't do much
better.

Image

And finally a look at how my room looks now .. as you can see looks
pretty geeky :mrgreen: and I am SO happy of my last 3 things I got :oops:

The TFT (Acer AL1731), my iRiver and the USB key, very valuable tool !

It's absolutely ture that when you'll get a TFT you'll never want to
return back .. and also that "one is not enough" .. also .. you code
much better on a TFT than anything else (except maybe a VT340
amber monitor :oops: ).

Ah yes .. you can see my goaty mug and I much goat milk I use for my
NCoTs :wink:

Image

So that's it, now I can do my best to kick Yak's arse ... at StarForce at
least :mrgreen: ...

Lush. :D

Star Force is one of my favourite games of all time. If I owned Star Force, I'd be a very happy man. Doesn't seem to come up on eBay though, and I couldn't afford it anyway! :lol:
