This demo was released at VCF Midwest 2024. It is a re-creation of the famous demo by Future Crew that was originally released at Assembly '93. Only this time, instead of running on a 486 CPU, it is running on a 6502. The music was originally a "Mod-Tracker" type format, but has been reimagined for the Yamaha YM2151 and Vera sound available on the Commander X16. Ports of this demo have also been done for the Atari ST, Commodore 64, and Apple II, among others. But none come closer to the original than this one.

Support this channel on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/8bitguy1 Visit my other channel 8-Bit Keys https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcTt3O4_IW5gnA0c58eXshg So you wanted to know why BMW crippled the range extender on the i3? Well, they wanted to meet a special classification in California and other CARB states that would allow them to get ZEV credits (zero-emission vehicle credits) for this vehicle even though it is technically a plug-in hybrid. One of the rules they had to meet was that the range extender had to have less range than the battery range. Since the EPA ended up rating the car lower than they originally thought, they had to reduce the size of the gas tank. Another crazy rule they had to meet was that the range extender not be available unless the battery was fully depleted. So that was why they removed the hold mode as well. As a result, the USA version of the car has a much less capable range extender. Nevertheless, the REx works absolutely fine in the city even when crippled. However, fast highway travel or long climbs up mountain passes can be a problem. If you plan to do that, you need the hold mode so that you can engage the REx while the battery is still at 75%. This will ensure that you don't lose any performance of the vehicle while operating on gasoline.

Here are 10 tips to get better audio and video quality out of your iPhone's camera. Most of these tips could also apply to any smart phone.

I swapped my iPhone 5 for a 2G model for a week to find out if the original 1st generation iPhone could still be used in 2014.

Here is an up-to-date video for 2014 showing how to jailbreak the original iPhone 2g. This will help you activate the iPhone 2g even without a SIM card. I wasted an entire day trying to figure this out, since most of the information out there is obsolete. So I thought the least I could do was make a decent video showing how to accomplish it.

We all know the iPhone 5 is a great technological advancement, but how does the voice quality stand up to a telephone made in the 1960's? For the test, we'll use the iconic "Mr. Watson, come in here, I need you."

Introduced by Texas Instruments in 1978, this is probably the first computer most kids had at the time. In this video, I'll go over the features, specs, and trivia of the Speak & Spell as well as the Speak & Math.

By popular request, I've done a modern-day review of the iPad 1 (1st Generation iPad) to find out if it is obsolete yet. EDIT - Apparently I got one fact wrong.. The iPad was introduced April 2010, not March 2011 as I stated in the video.

I got this Cloud Rover at Fry's for $69 and thought I'd give you an overview and my thoughts on the device!

So it's 2014 but some people are still using Windows XP, is it obsolete yet?

Ever wanted to block one of those really annoying pop up websites like livejasmin or mackeeper? Watch how!

I take OS X Tiger through some testing criteria to find out what you can or can't still do with it in 2013. The goal - To determine if it is yet obsolete.

You can buy a $15 TV receiver that will allow you to turn your Mac into a very capable radio scanner capable of listening to police, aircraft, amateur radio, CB radio, NOAA weather radio and others.

The computer industry has changed drastically over the last 3 decades, but there are some things we've lost along the way.

In this video I'll walk you through 4 interesting little tricks for your iBook G4. 1) Many of the 2005 models suffer from a logic board problem that causes the computer to crash constantly with the screen in four languages saying "you need to restart your computer" Watch and learn how to work around this problem. 2) If you break the screen on your iBook, Powerbook, or MacBook, you can turn the computer into a small desktop computer. 3) If you want to run your computer with an external monitor but don't want it going to sleep, you can unplug the reed switch. 4) You can use dual monitors with a program called Screen Spanning Doctor.

Here are the answers to your questions! Enjoy!

In this video, I'll show you how to install a professional looking network jack in your home or office by running the wire through the attic and down the interior of the wall.

Have you ever tried to install OS X on your Mac and got a message that says "This software cannot be installed on this Computer?" Well, here is how to correct that. I'll walk you through copying the disk to an image on your computer, then making changes needed to the script, and burning it to a new CD.

Mrs. iBookGuy explains some common uses for Target Disk Mode, including cloning a hard drive or rescuing files from a damaged computer.

I've been reading about the success people have been having with retr0bright so I thought I'd give it a try. Watch for the results!

In this video I'll give you a sneak peak at emulating various old computers and game consoles. Some examples are the Apple IIe, Macintosh Plus, Amiga 500, Commodore 64, NES, Nintendo 64, Atari 2600, and more. FYI - It appears there wasn't enough interest in the video for me to consider creating a retro-computer channel. I know there were a few who really wanted it, and I wanted to do it myself. But I need more viewers to justify it.

I'll show how I'm using a Mac Mini G4 as a file server. I'm sharing files with AFP, NFS, and SMB. I also have a nightly scripted backup to clone primary drives to backup drives.

In this video I'll show you two different methods for wall-mounting computer equipment such as network hubs, routers, power adapters, or power surge protectors.

In this video I'll show two different methods for using dual monitors on a Mac Mini.

I get asked why I use Dell monitors on my Mac systems. So here's all of the reasons why.

I took some time to test several different browsers on the G4 Mac Mini, including TenFourFox, Firefox, Camino, Aurorafox, Safari , and webkit. I tried them on youtube, facebook, gmail, and others. I also used speedbattle.com, sunspider, and the futuremark peacekeeper test.

As requested by several viewers, I've made a little walk through of my home network. You get to see some other parts of my house that aren't particularly tidy or clean.

This video is about reality of doing business on eBay and Craigslist. This is basically a rant about some of the ignorant and irritating people I have to deal with as a seller.

In this video I talk about the Apple Airport Extreme (Snow) unit that was produced in 2003. It supports 802.11b and 802.11g wireless and will work with modern equipment. They can be purchased for around $20 on eBay. I'm using one as a secondary access point to extend my range, but I'm not using the WDS (Wireless distribution system) because my house is wired for ethernet. it works with the iPhone, iPod, iPad, MacBook, or Windows PCs without any issues.

Some random secrets of the Apple MacBook. Does your macbook get too hot while sitting on your lap? Try MacBook Fan Control to cool it down! Did you know you can turn on the MacBook by touching two solder points together on the logic board? Did you know if you hold down the Option Key and click the airport icon you can find out signal strength, mac addresses, etc? And did you know you can create an oreo macbook or a Frankenbook by mixing parts from white and black MacBooks?

In this video I try to explain the difference between memory and storage, as well as what memory actually does. This is in preparation for part II where I'll actually be comparing the performance of a MacBook using different memory configurations of 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB.

A very detailed explanation of how to take down an iBook G4. The unit used in this video is the PowerPC G4 1.33 Ghz with the 12" LCD. Some of the other models are slightly different.

Using a Walther CP99 and a Gamo PT-80 BB gun to destroy an Apple laptop. When that doesn't give good enough results, i smashed it with a grubbing hoe.

A lot of people send me emails asking how to clean their laptop. So I have created a video showing how I do it. I use Windex, Alcohol, and WD-40 for most everything.

In this video, I'll walk you through the process of taking apart a 13" plastic Macbook to replace a backlight inverter. Even if you want to just replace an optical drive, airport card, or other part this is still the video for you!

(UPDATE! the 2013 and newer Leafs charge faster than what I have listed here)Many people ask me how long it takes to charge a Nissan Leaf. There is no quick, easy way to accurately answer that question. So I've made this video explaining the different EVSE options such as level 1, level 2, and level 3 charing, along with some real life examples.

www.iBookGuy.com Since I sell a lot of macs, people always ask me why Macs don't get viruses. Obviously this isn't a black and white issue, as in theory Macs can get viruses, but in practice they don't. In this video, I explore the 4 main reasons I believe Macs don't get viruses. Those reasons are 1) system architechture, 2) Market Share, 3) 3rd Party add-ons such as Adobe Reader and Java, and 4) User Base.

A lot of my customers ask what the difference is between the iBook and the MacBook, since I do sell a lot of both. This video details all the main differences. Visit my website at www.iBookGuy.com

A comprehensive video showing the procedure for upgrading the memory in the Apple iBook G4 notebook computers.

In this video, I tackle the question of the PowerPC G4 and if it is actually obsolete already. So I force myself to go an entire week using nothing but computers powered by a G4 processor and find out whether I can live with it. In the end, I discovered that as long as you don't mind using some software that is slightly out-of-date (IE: Photoshop, final-cut-pro), there is very little that you can't do on one of these. Also I would mention that when I made the video, Camino was the best browser. However, I now recommend TenFourFox as the best browser for PowerPC systems.

I put this Commodore 64 on a user's desk. The day before we had discussed getting him a newer computer, but when he came in this is what he found.

Most quick-lube places (and unfortunately even some Toyota Dealerships) will overfill a Prius if you take it in. The reason is that most places overfill any car by default, so they don't have to worry about underfilling it or having the customer complain that they didn't get their money's worth of oil by not having it reach or surpass the "full" mark. With most cars this will affect your gas mileage to some degree, but won't harm anything else. With the Prius it is a different story. That is because the engine is designed different and it will suck that extra oil into the intake manifold. This can cause the car to misfire (run rough) or fail to start at all. So in this video, I show how to remove the excess oil on a 2001-2003 model prius. Also I learned that the reason the Prius is so vulnerable actually has nothing to do with the Atkinson cycle I mentioned in the video. Apparently it is caused because the prius starts the engine at 1,200 RPM and the huge vacuum sucks the oil up.

This is a preview of a new game I've been working on for a while for the Commodore VIC-20. Originally I had planned on porting Flash Attack to the VIC-20, but later on I realized it would be better if I could find a way to convert it to a 1-player game. So this is the concept I've come up with. It is still not finished, obviously, but I thought it might be nice to show people a peek at the game without making them download something and try to play it on an emulator.

Which webcams work on a Mac? I took a walk into a local Target store and bought 6 models: Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks, Webcam C120, Webcam C200, Webcam C250 and the Microsoft LifeCam VX-700 and VX-5000 models. I also tried them on iBook G3, iBook G4, and on an Apple iMac. I also tried them under Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. I also test under 3 lighting conditions too. For comparison, I showed video samples from Apple's external FireWire iSight camera as well as an internal iSight camera on an iMac.

Learn about the iBook clamshells that I sell on ebay and craigslist. I cover the different models such as the blueberry, tangerine, indigo, graphite, and key lime. Learn how to tell the differences and how to tell which ebay sellers are trying to scam you with false advertisers.

Watch a side-by-side comparison of an old Apple iBook Clamshell and a modern Compaq running Windows Vista. See which one can boot up quicker, grab an internet connection via their internal wireless adapters, open the browser, and open google. You might be surprised at the results considering the clamshell is 8 years older than the Compaq. Then watch to see which one shuts down faster. http://www.ibookguy.com

I get a lot of iBook clamshell models and fix them up and sell them on ebay. This is the video I use on my auctions.

I made this video to use in my ebay-auctions. I fix up Apple Clamshell iBooks and upgrade them. Then I typically sell them on ebay. Buy one on my website: http://www.ibookguy.com

A video I made showing how I added S-video output to my Commodore Amiga 1000. This was an easy, but very usefull modification.
