The potential reader? Stuff like "this blog post lists the 37 steps to install Linux on a TI-89". Or "this page contains letters that Orwell wrote to his cat".
Also a +1 for the solitaire! One suggestion: how about an inverted mode where the piles grow up from the bottom? I think it would be much easier to control while playing on phone
Oh that’s an interesting idea! Thanks Dave, had not think about that!
Regarding playing on phone: one improvement I have in mind, is to have the stock (aka reserve) and waste piles be on the right side. That would make them easier to reach for right-handed players, I guess. What do you think? (The foundations piles would inversely go to the left. They are rarely manipulated, given that one can double-tap a card to automatically send it to its foundation pile.)
Thank you again for the feedback, that’s always very appreciated!
The advice for video 8 when I did this was to buy a quality camcorder for the desired format (note, there's Video 8, Hi 8, and Digital 8, all using the same cassette form factor), in good condition, and capture the S-video output. Results were surprisingly good.
VHS-C can be played in a normal VCR, with an adapter cassette, but the process will otherwise be the same. Excellent VCRs in good condition had gotten expensive last time I checked, though.
When I did it, vhsdecode didn't exist and I know nothing about that, but I'm completely satisfied with the results I achieved.
if they're digital 8, then of course ideally you would get a digital capture.
