Snow is VERY new in the Mac emulation world, and VERY excellent already. These updates already give it special status.

NEW VIDEO #DOScember youtu.be/FfjENbxmWF0#DOScember here's my capture of the sound track of the floppy version of Alien Legacy. You can navigate with timestamps in the description and find my favorites. Some are unforgettable and ear-wormy, some are just filler music tied to short events in-game.

#DOScember I just relased a pack of .VGM files from Alien Legacy (1994), doing my part for the preservation of FM synth music (YM3812) composed by Biard MacGuineas and Steve A. Baker. get them here! vgmrips.net/forum/vi...

Grading marathon, so that means background fm music. You can join in and listen as well. My C code should now be patched up and need no manual intervention! youtube.com/live/WW-...

I just got this big boxed MS-DOS game, floppy version of Alien Legacy, in very good condition. I always had a soft spot for it, despite never completing it. It's my understanding that you have to patch it or use the CD-version to having a fighting chance? I always prefered the fm synth soundtrack

68k black and white and Mac relevant? From my friend Gutbomb? I'll pass that along!!!

PC Gameport party reviewee by none other than Phil's computer lab! Very neat! I launched this project last year but revised it recently.

coded in C plays VGM files with opl2/3 can pause, test instruments up to 18 notes w/ MIDI in running on a K2 from wildBits Computing Company youtube.com/shorts/Q... I could do the same with MT-32 and General MIDI tracks, but I spent energy on this classic fm synth sweetness!

NEW VIDEO is up, about 2 programs that help me dig for new sounds. Uses MIDI in, drives a dual SID or a YMF262 (opl3) on my F256K2. The randomizer function is really fun and can land on some sweet sounds! youtu.be/FSmGOvMXY_s

I was asked to do a revision with through-hole only components for the PC Gameport Party, I obliged. Exact same functionality, and today I made extra crispy sure it would work by assembling a unit. All tests pass! 1/2

Guys. I have one left. Just got it back from Adrian Black. One last time. If you’re interested in one, we’ll be listing it soon on our new storefront!

I made a new MSDOS utility, the MIDI Sniffer: * takes in MIDI in * reroutes to: MIDI out, PC Speaker, or OPL2 * supports polyphony 1/2

NEW VIDEO IS OUT: it explains everything about my PC Gameport Party PCB I designed last year. All the use cases scenarios I had in mind, including the ones that combo with the MIDI selectors I also designed. Links to gerbers in the description youtu.be/SGnbr5O1Wa0

I started a repo for the Megaroids source code. it's not clear how to use megamax C or how the files are ultimately chopped down into, but it doesn't hurt to try. Copy pasting mostly works, but it has a few issues. it's a process of copying chunks by chunks and keeping an eye on it 1/2

"Guys, if anybody here has been on the edge of wanting to purchase a F256K2, Now would be a great time to do so, so you can secure a spot in the next batch, because after that I don't know when I am going to make more. -Stef" translation: decide today or miss out for an indeterminate time! links...

Sometimes you just gotta hack your own solution! 📺 In this video I mod this TV remote to make it more accessible for my father-in-law. ❤️ If you want to make your own, a guide and 3D models are in the video description. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_dx...

it's time for a Foenix Game Jam again. The theme is "polish" and make an effort to make a complete game, at least a notch or 2 above tech demo! With 2 months, the odds improve quite a lot. Here's the itch io link: itch.io/jam/foenix-bfg discord: discord.gg/9vjUEGgcUS

bing bong finally got a VGM file playing engine in C on the F256K2, with my file picker of course that's a LONG LONG LONG TIME coming holy grail for me, finally had the chops to understand it all. took less than 24 hours. It still has minor bugs ofc.

I just put out a very specialized tutorial for changing FPGA core on the F256K2 that will serve a specific tranche of the population, but I won't mind if you're curious to check out how easy it is to make this retro computer act differently at the flip of some dip switches

The Chenjesu is another excellent zone denying, slow moving sniper ship with helper bubbles that gnaw at your opponent. A strong workhorse in your Melee fleet. Star Control II, melee mode (1992 Accolade, Inc.)

Disk Jockey for Windows has been updated! Version 1.6 adds support for the Snow emulator and lets you inject HFS and ProDOS partitions from other Mac disk images into your own (you're no longer limited to simple .img or .image files).

Tip for using the Kohr Ah - Your weapon is half a slow cannon ball, half a mine laying field. Use this to your advantage by making the terrain in front of your opponent as deadly as possible. Star Control II, melee mode (1992 Accolade, Inc.)

The Pkunk is one of the most interesting ships to fly with its random count resurrection. Make those jousts count before it's definitely down. Star Control II, melee mode (1992 Accolade, Inc.)

It's been a while, I overhauled my link.tree with categories to my web stuff, w/ my coding projects repo (Macintosh and F256K2). I also launched a merch threadless store, there's a brand t-shirt and that silly Ultima VII t-shirt I always wanted, haha. linktr.ee/1bitfeverd...

I got a little lucky with the Arilou here, but its ability to be unaffected by the gravity of the planet comes in handy Star Control II, melee mode (1992 Accolade, Inc.)
