As a DSP engineer it bugs me that upsampling images using a better approximation of the ideal LPF (rectangle in frequency domain) looks worse compared to a simple nearest neighbor (sinc in frequency domain). I guess human vision doesn't favor blurriness.

All of the C successors aside from Rust amount to nothing more than sugar to me. The persistent online fanfare and proselytization is puzzling. There are so many more interesting things to learn out there than some random person's idea of a nicer syntax for C.

What would be the best way to release/share a mixtape of my current favorite tracks?

Went through all my SoundCloud likes. All the music sounds new even though many of the tracks are like 12 years old. A lot of them deserve rereleases, or something. There's an impossible mountain of unlistened to good music.

Had fun playing this and the music is really good!

Is Chrono Trigger actually the most epic game of all time or am I just biased? Everything that has come along since seems nowhere as good.

I feel this

Kind of tempted to make a little game that mainly uses Mode 6. Never tried hi-res on SNES before.

After repairing laptops for my family, I will never buy another laptop again. Even expensive ones are shoddily made. They are made to be trashed.

From my track for Beginnings - Rising Star Vol. 1: "Mugung to Maple"! Thank you to The Rising Star Patronage Project (@risingstarpatronage.com) and @slide20xx.com for inviting me onto their debut album, available on Bandcamp for free download or via streaming. slide20xx.bandcamp.com/album/beginn...

My homelab reflow soldering process needs work

FPGA is cool but I suspect it's overused for low-level realtime applications because we lack a popular realtime software ecosystem. Especially for gaming. If Windows or Linux were proper RTOSes, FPGA retro consoles would be mostly pointless. That would be good for the environment

Microsoft has published no analysis on the potentially unusually large impact on ewaste volume that dropping support for Windows 10 next week would have. It seems they aren't actively taking responsibility there but it's obvious to me in this case that they should.

None of my TVs growing up had discernible scan lines. I'm confused why that's such a popular upscaling filter. If I wanted a nostalgic filter, I would go for something that looks like this. Do filters like this exist?

have YOU ever wanted to make SNES music? songs that could play on a real console?? well guess what - you can!! and you can even do it from the comfort of your favorite DAW. version 2.0 of my SNES Chiptune Guide is out now, updated and fully overhauled on its own website: samplemance.rs/snesguide/

The SNESdev Jam submissions are in, this year there are a lot of entries and quite interesting ones at that! Currently is the voting period, so be sure to leave a rating when you try ‘em! #snesdev itch.io/jam/snesdev-...

The delta-sigma ADCs have a reputation of being the most advanced but once you know basic signal processing and control theory, they're actually relatively simple devices. So simple that you can even implement one in Falstad.

You've never heard a square wave.

This is one of those little details on which much of Fourier analysis is based that is probably not understood by most people using it.

Have you guys played Xenogears? What do you think of it?

My new NES game Perfect Diamond will be available on Steam and itch.io on August 8th! Comes with a ROM file to play on a real NES via flash cart! Physical NES cartridge release will come a bit later.

Nice album soundcloud.com/va1ennyx/set...

An authentic Super Nintendo music album I contributed pixel art for released! You can grab the ROM on itch and buy the album on Bandcamp! 🎵 私のドット絵を描いたスーパーファミコンの新音楽コラボレーションアルバムがリリースしました！itchとBandcampで発売中です！ 是非聴いてください！🎵 Music here is by P.SUS, art by me! Links below!

This video needs so many more views www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJPK...

hey, I can tell y'all that I worked on music for this game! I'm in the credits! on a physical SNES cartridge! I helped @randallinden.bsky.social bring to life several more classic DOOM tunes on the SNES's sound chip, expanding its soundtrack while working with the game's original sound driver!

Baron... wherever you are. You're amazing

You can get the ROM at supermidipak.itch.io/super-midi-p...

This is starting now !

The Bandcamp album is now available for pre-order! supermidipak.bandcamp.com/album/super-...

Nice

The Super MIDI Pak Collab album will be released Friday, July 11th at 3PM EDT. All tracks play natively on the SNES and we're distributing a ROM and SPCs. We're doing a listening party at that time on YouTube, link in the replies!

As we get close to the album release, I was digging into the old graphic assets for Super MIDI Pak. Here are some of the early logo mockups I made 😂

It's a small world @nobonoko.bsky.social

Does anyone I know have a relatively high quality analog capture setup for the SNES and a flash cart? Please repost if you think someone who follows you does.

PSA: if your square wave samples look like the latter and not the former, you are not using real square waves. Sampling band-limited square waves always results in some ringing in the samples, no matter the phase of sampling or the sampling rate.

Favorite Shibuya-Kei Albums. You?

The vertical parallax effect seems like it could be implemented on SNES using Mode 0. Is there a game that does this?

Some of my favorite music isn't pushing the limits of the hardware at all. And a lot of music that pushes the limits of the hardware isn't all that great. I'm a bit fatigued with that approach to chiptune / OPL-tune / rompler-tune.

Planet Gadget is an album made entirely on a Nintendo Switch using Korg Gadget. The tunes range from simple to layered and have a nice nostalgic touch to them. Release is on Bandcamp along with a livestream on Youtube this coming Friday! Hope to see you then! youtu.be/-WGYo9g6VDA

I sent Adrian from Adrian's Digital Basement a copy of Super MIDI Pak and he did a little review! Check it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls46...

Pure MIDI Compilation 3, the call for submissions will end in half a month! (Maybe it's because we've tightened the restrictions and this is the third time, but submissions are still slow) #PureMIDI docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Are you a pixel artist? Do you know a pixel artist? Are you a graphic designer? Do you know a graphic designer? We are looking to commission artists for this project. Please retweet if you know a lot of artists who may be interested!

My 16-bit soundtrack to @ryankeeton.bsky.social's game Gramary is available on YouTube now! It's still also downloadable for free on Bandcamp: rinjeon.bandcamp.com/album/gramar... #music

I refuse to use eBay and I don't have Facebook but I have 3 WD retail 1TB drives and 3 "white label" 1TB drives available. Thoroughly used but working well without any errors. I'd rather not e-waste them, so I'm fine letting them go for the cost of shipping.
