A slightly different format today as I try out the Rockfire USB Nest Gameport to USB converter with a Thrustmaster F22, F16 TQS and Rudder Control System. How far can we take it without tearing these devices down and rebuilding them to work with modern systems?
The time has FINALLY come for me to get into 3D printing, I've been putting it off for so long, but now...it has arrived....and I have no idea what I'm doing. So I decided to make a video about my experience of setting up the Creality Ender 3 Pro, figuring out the software and getting my first 3D print out of it.

The Pi Game Gear build continues and this time we're using the original GG power board to provide both battery and mains power to the Pi. This also powers the original Game Gear sound board which we got working with the Pi in our previous video, and we tidy up those cables.

Update: The Spectrum is repaired, but all it took was some new capacitors before I attempted any interesting fault finding. So this series will now be taking a different direction exploring what made the system unique.
I was donated a rather handsome 48KB ZX Spectrum by Mrs ManCave's father this week. Owing to its cosmetic condition we can hardly make this a "Trash to Treasure" series, but it is in a none-working condition. Let's start by taking a look at the system before we move on to repairs, and the use of the machine in the modern day.

Devkits are a weird and wonderful world, expensive development and test systems which only rich developers have access to, until now. Alan brings to The Cave his collection of development systems for us to poke around in and enjoy.
