 There is an interesting yearly tradition in the country town of Strathlbyn, a short drive from Adelaide. It is called the Great Duck Race. I haven't never seen it before now, despite living in Adelaide since 1994! 

 I had hoped to do a little bit more with my Mega 65 computer in 2024, after my previous Mega 65 blog posts I did here and here, but work and family commitments limited my free time. 

One really important thing I did do this year, was to upgrade the Slot 0 core to the latest Mega65 firmware.

 At the beginning of this year I bought the new Atari 2600+ console, looking forward to using my homebrew and old Atari 2600 carts in it. 

Sadly I was disappointed, as per my blog post here - a lot of titles didn't work at all.

Fast forward to December 2024, and they have now released the Atari 7800+ console. Does it work any better? Let's find out!

I realise that recently I have been focused on blog posts for my Retro PC builds (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3), but rest assured Amiga has never left my attention in 2024 - I have got and played lots of interesting software for Amiga this year!
