What I studied :

• • Math (EPFL for 1 year)
  • Computer Science (EPFL for 3 years)

What I'm studying now :

• • (Practical) Electronics (ETML ongoing)

What I will study in the future :

• • Some more computer science and electronics

What I like :

• • My girlfriend
  • Stuff related to Math (= the whole Universe + all thinkable universes)
  • Electronics (and Computer Science)
  • The Go Game
  • VideoGames
  • Music
  • & many other things...

What I'm doing :

• • Collecting videogames
  • Repairing stuff (electronics)
  • Making things (circuits and programming)
  • Playing Go (Tournaments and Teaching)

Ongoing Projects :

• • PC2JAMMA (to do: soft 15kHz, audio amp, usb input)
  • PS2JAMMA (to do: lm1881 sync separator)
  • SNES2JAMMA (to do: lm1881 sync separator, screen wire impedance to adjust)
  • Atari Lynx II repair (to do: get sound, everything else is done)
  • CF based SNES cart (to do: almost everything, choose FPGA or uC, make PCB, use Voltage-Translators, programming, making a little OS, design the cart etc... done : familiarize with CF & SNES specs, block schematics)

What I may be able teach : (mostly basic stuff but useful stuff)

• • Basic computer stuff
  • Electronics (analog and digital)
  • Acceptability in electronics (when it's OK and when it's KO)
  • Soldering & Desoldering (tips and tricks)
  • How to use Lab-boards, repair & modify PCBs
  • Understanding schematics and analyzing them (mostly digital circuits)
  • How to make documentation and schematics
  • How to do things in a good way (practical electronics)
  • How to read Data Sheets
  • How to use a DSO (Digital Sampling Oscilloscope)
  • How to and how not to measure in electronics (The dos and don'ts with a multimeter)
  • AMA about electronics there may be a 0.01% chance I know :)
  • Using RPN calculators (even using Curta Mechanical Calculators)
  • How to play Go (not how to make a Go AI. Sorry...)

What I want to learn :

• • 68000 ASM if anyone knows a good book (I do possess the 68030 (including 68020) reference manual...)
  • 6502 ASM

What I'm looking for :

• • Having Fun (of course...)
  • Fluke Multimeter (8x series or 17x series)
  • DC Power Supply (something like 0-30V, 0-2A)
  • JAMMA fingerboards (56 contacts (2x28) 1.57" Spacing)
  • 27Cxxx (mostly 27c801) UV or OTP EPROMS (and a couple 27c1024)
  • (big capacity) EPROM Eraser
  • 2032 batteries (for less than 0.5chf)
  • Anything videogame related
  • RPN calculators
