One more photo of the keyboard frame after the surgery. Almost all holes went in the middle, except one. But that still holds its screw just fine.

And no sign of any modification is visible from the other side. Perfect.

Commodore 116 keyboard repair and modding in progress.

Step 1:
Drilling the plastic rivets, and making tiny screw holes in the case, using a 1.4mm drill bit. The drill stop is set up in a way, that one can't drill through the plastic.

Step 2:
"It's cheaply built keyboard smoke! Don't breath this!"

Step 3:
Using 22 tiny M1.7x4mm screws in place of the rivets. The keyboard can be freely dis- and reassembled now.

Commodore 116 "project" update:

During the week, a new-to-me TED, an 8501 CPU, and a PLA arrived from evilBay. All of them new-old-stock, allegedly. They're in a good external condition, no signs of previous use on the pins, so probably true. I want to believe. But more importantly, they do actually work.

Now onto the difficult part - the keyboard repair.

Made this around the late 2000s: a voxel-style tribute to early Lucasfilm games, like Maniac Mansion.

"Pac-Man" by LackofTrack

A conversion of the arcade classic to the Sega Master System. The game should be very close to the original arcade in terms of how the ghosts move and how the game generally feels.
The game allows the player to select the amount of lives to start with, difficulty, score at which an extra life is given, and speed of Pac-Man. Supports 2 Player as well.

This is my remake of a game I used to play on PC back in the early 2000's. The original game, Ants, was released as an example game for a graphical development environment called Gemtree Peter.
My version is a full rewrite of the game for the Master System, using #devkitSMS I've tried to make the rules of the game as accurate as I can to the original.

"Yawi" by dark

Yawi is a reprogrammed version of Enigma, a puzzle game with elements of Boulderdash, Sokoban and XOR. The game is developed for the SC-3000/SG-1000 with support for control pad and keyboard. The first two of twelve levels should be completable, for the rest I cannot give any garantee due cutted levels and missing game elements like bombs.

This is a port of my game from SMD. Despite the fact that the game was ported to a weaker device, the game has undergone significant improvements. The main one is scrolling.
