New Video! Can today’s AI models actually write a good game for a 40-year-old Commodore 64? 🖥️ I challenged ChatGPT, Claude, and Kimi to build Space Invaders in BASIC, then put the winners up against a real game from 1982. 🏆 piped.video/jxDH8zEewhQ

New Video! One ROM can replace hard-to-find vintage ROM chips with no EPROM programmer required. In this video I show how to program it and test it in an Amiga 500. piped.video/Da3hklwt_dI

New Product! I am now carrying the One ROM in my shop. 🎁 The One ROM Fire can emulate various EPROMs with the RP2350 chip and you can program it with USB. 24 pin and 28 pin variants are available now and the 40 pin version will be in stock very soon. retrohackshack.com/shop

New Video! These two vintage red Panasonic cassette recorders 📻 looked amazing, but neither one was fully working when I got them. In this video I tear into both, troubleshoot the problems 🛠️, and bring them back to life. piped.video/RaiG5Peq7Ps

New Video! This Dell Dimension XPS Pentium II came from e-waste labeled “starts no screen,” so I brought it home to find out if it was junk or a hidden gem. This forgotten 90s PC made an amazing comeback. piped.video/1fndqtq7ON8

New Video! I found this Boombox with a built-in TV at e-waste. However, it has some issues. Should I try to restore it or take it back? piped.video/9QdS0n04Quo

New Video! Take a look at the 8BitDo Commodore 64-style retro mechanical keyboard and all the details that make it feel like a modern “breadbin” C64. I hook it up to a Raspberry Pi Zero running BMC64 to turn it into a quick, portable Commodore 64 setup. piped.video/Rtw7OsVlqn4

New video! I started a gaming channel on a whim. When I am not working on vintage computers I enjoy PC gaming. It won't just be new games like Arc Raiders. Vintage gaming , too. Let me know what you think! piped.video/6GFaR3lz-T8

New Video! This IBM PC-XT was abandoned at e-waste. ♻️ I'll do some PC archeology and try to get it booting again ... if I can. piped.video/hbqeZWVr1r4
