Re: Trying to find old YouTube video of arcade machine restoration
Not a direct answer, but lots of restoration things by Arcade Archive https://m.youtube.com/@TheArcadeArchive. That community may be able to help you? The arcade incidentally is absolutely worth a visit if passing near Stroud, and you also have RMC upstairs of course...

Re: Tool recommendations for mapping adventure games?
I wrote a small Android app a while ago which probably still works on modern phones - https://mycloudbase.com/ifmapper/index.htm. Allows you to add notes and move things around, and hopefully intuitive.

Re: Beginners Adventure
You may find a small Android utility I wrote useful. Ifmapper is hopefully an intuitive mapping tool you can use on your phone. If you tell Android to allow to run in background you can even swap between it and adventure running in an emulator. I just finished playing The Wicker Woman like this, whi...

Re: Capacitors
You also need the appropriate soldering iron for the job. With any soldering if you need to heat for more than a second or so to get the solder to flow it is underpowered / too small a tip. The biggest issues are with the ground side of components. These are usually connected to a large area of copp...

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi, After lurking on WOS for a good year now and this, but starting to make use of Robin's excellent Nirvana tutorials (thank you!), it seemed rude not to register. There is a nice feel about these forums, very constructive and a nice technical side to things. Myself, my first computer was a ZX81 wh...
