16.05.2026 - New hardware version for GottFA1_PLuS. Read the notes on GottFA1_PLuS website.
11.05.2025 - My website is now available in three languages (English, German and French). By clicking on one of the three flags below the 'LISY logo' you can now access a German and a French translation. The English version will continue to be the 'leading' (manually created) one, while the translations were generated automatically by my AI (Claude Code). Please contact me if any pages are missing or you notice a translation is absent.
08.05.2026 - I just released version x.17 for WillFA7 (https://lisy.dev/willfa7.html) for all Cyclone types ( II, IV and 10). This update should solve problems some users had with saving CMOS values ( highscores, credits, settings, ..) and can be found via the links on the WillFA7 webpage or directly here on my repository server: https://lisy.dev/swrep/WillFA7/Software/ No need to do the update in case CMOS values are saved correctly with your current version!
