Happy Star Trek Day, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2:30+ p.m., Sunday, Sept. 15, at
Panera Bread Restaurant
3590 W. Shaw Ave. (corner of W. Shaw Ave. and Marty Ave.)
Fresno, CA 93711
(559) 271-0104
http://www.dickestel.com/meet_loc.htm
For discussion, we’ll talk about LCD monitors vs. CRT monitors (hmm, a GE 7-7800!). Once again, we’ll discuss our October 6 picnic dinner and the various shows where we will be exhibiting – Rocklin Maker Faire, Bay Area Maker Faire, and possibly the Amiwest Show.
In C64 software, we'll go back to the game software that we didn’t properly present at the September meeting. However, we won’t neglect new releases, such as Spelunky 64, Grey, River Barrage, Nixy2, and Splatch.
On the Amiga side, the AmigaOne A1222+ returns, and this time we will be looking at A500/1200 games running through its emulator, E-UAE. The games will be classic games and new games, such as MetroSiege, DonkeyKong500, Dr. DangerousV6, and QuasaurusXDemo.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo

Next SCCAN meeting - Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024
Happy National Cappuccino Day, C= and Ami comrades!
The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, Nov. 9, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at
Panera Bread Restaurant
19662 Nordhoff Street
Northridge, California
(818) 407-9400
In discussion we'll talk about the shows that happened in October -- the Rocklin Maker Faire, the Bay Area Maker Faire, and the Amiwest Show.
In hardware, we play around with the fully-working A600GS, the little AmigaKit box that runs OCS/ECS/AGA games and sports the Amibench
desktop. I can tell you the trials, tribulations, and quirks in getting the A600GS to run. The Ultimate 64 returns with the latest C64 games, like Orbix and the Forgotten Forest 2. The VIC-20 comes in with the SD2IEC drive loaded with plenty of software.
Feel free to bring your own machines and software to the meeting!
Sincerely,
Robert Bernardo

In discussion we'll talk about the current fires affecting Commodore members in the Los Angeles area, the February Vintage Computer Festival SoCal, the April Los Angeles Maker Faire, and especially the April 26-27 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show.
In hardware, we look at the Greaseweazle v4 newly-built into a case and having a 3.5” disk drive and a 5.25” disk drive. (Greaseweazle is a small, electronics board which permits “versatile floppy drive control over USB. By extracting the raw flux transitions from a drive, any diskette format can be captured…” and thus it can transfer a floppy disk into a disk file and vice versa.)
In software, we have the A600GS and/or the AmigaOne A1222+ with the latest Amiga games, like Revenge of the Grinch, Santas Present Drop 4 – Grunge’s Revenge, Ami Robbo 2, Yoomp!, the Rastan demo game, the Vigilante demo game, and Bunnito’s Feast. The Ultimate 64 returns with the latest C64 games, like Tank in a Dungeon, Soiled Iron, Santa’s Workout 2, Captain Ishtar 2, Toki C64 demo game, the Pretzelves, Twintris Deluxe, Golf Dash Extended, and Schreckenstein 65. The VIC-20 comes in with new programs, like Jumpman Pete, Island Beach Head, Cubelco 24, Christmas Card Greetings 2024, and Pacific Air War.
