Silicium occitel mini

Sunday 15:15-15:35 | UB4.136

Discover how association Silicium, a French retro-computing non-profit, created a mini console to commemorate the Occitel, a gaming console from 1976 by a French company, Société occitane d’électronique.

From accurate software emulation through bit-banged video with low-cost hardware to solving hardware design mistakes without forgetting iterative adjustment of the 3d-printed case, we will tell the story and lessons of a team project that will be open-sourced on the day of the conference.
