stress test #2 is back, will the bug be fixed and the playlist continue uninterrupted? Come listen in to midi music playing on my 6502 code.

stress testing a MIDI playlist playback, live from my Wildbits/K2 youtube.com/live/omhc3mY...

Small update for my MIDI file player I made in C for the 6502 based wildbits/K2 - I added a playlist mode and some bouncing MIDI logo sweetness (think DVD logo and those rare corner bounces!!!)

my new video review on the Snow Macintosh emulator! youtu.be/sMdRzK9dBSw

I hope to finally get this to Steam this time (and this summer).

The absolutely unbelievable art from Trici Venola, found in the 'Mac the Knife' art disk from Miles Computing, circa 1987

Superpaint 2.0 tool sampler image, from the b&w mac days

finally made a video on my MIDI file player coding started 2 years ago and worked on and off www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_Uh...

It is 2026. A kid coded this superbasic program for hours for father's day, on a Wildbits/K2 (6502/816 based wedge computers) The father is the owner of the #Wildbits line. It's think it's fair to call this wholesome!

I’ve setup a Patreon if you would like to support me in my retro and open source work. Posting something new for there in July for patrons to beta test first! www.patreon.com/c/nulleric

cozyMIDI: my brand new 68k mac application coded in C (and sweat). Plays standard MIDI files assuming you have an external module plugged on the modem port. Runs on a Mac Plus, speed is perfect on a SE/30 and up. Has fun animations during playback (see the 2/2 post in this thread) #macintosh 1/2

big retro product reveal* was done today, you seen it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLS4... (*parody of the "reveal" here)

of all the bugs I've encounted in my C coding projects, this is...the most posessed, cursed bug of all time. demonic Mac Plus MIDI signals from another dimension

I made a Tinker Different thread explaining how to hook up a MIDI device on your host computer and have it communicate with Snow emulator. Both #MIDI in and MIDI out works #Macintosh #retrocomputing tinkerdifferent.com/threads/how-...

Two people from the Mac vintage community I appreciate a lot having an hour long chat on Macintosh Librarian related stuff, a good watch @ronscompvids.bsky.social @maccy.me youtu.be/Rz7vyJ9_gr8?...

adlib music jukebox stream youtube.com/live/FyH... come listen to the nostalgic OPL2 greatness

One of the most prolific dev for the #Wildbits (fmr. known as F256) machines is jbaker. His work on 3d transformations leveraged by the audio VS1053b chip, using its DSP is paying off. Here's a tech demo of tempest-like gameplay

@ronscompvids.bsky.social is cranking out amazing content. Case in point :Let's Chat with Ken Macklin - LucasFilm Games and underground comic artist! youtu.be/UhFhWiTRExI?... #adventuregames #indiegame

this was my childhood CRT

Mike C wrote a superbasic for a #wildbits computer (fmr. known as foenix retro) that's very easy to learn from, using connectivity with the wifi chip, fetching data from NASA and displaying the ISS coordinates in real time. I've let it run for about 30+ hours

Gonna grade stuff and listen to .MODs streamed from my PicoGUS. you're welcome to stay a while and listen! youtube.com/live/fEhPTVF...

Finally some MIDI pitch bending added to my Firejam (own C coded app), for all platforms: #macintosh, #wildbits K2. I'll make it work for SID, PSG and OPL3 and the Mac sound Driver output as well in their respective ways.

someone (thanks, furan) did this pixel animation on a LED matrix wall which looked so cool I had to reverse engineer it on my #wildbits K2 using 2 layers of smooth scrolling tiles. I added a fm synth menu music from System Shock, I felt it fit the vibes.

Come stop by and say hi if you’re at VCF East! We’re in room C. 🍏

If you're visiting #VCF #VCFEast this weekend, consider checking out this amazing Wildbits classroom, where you're learn the ins and outs of this new retro platform (fmr. known as Foenix F256). Workshops happening on all 3 days, all day long on various topics surrounding its basic, sprites sound etc

Major update for the PicoGUS

This is a good initial response to my new video where I show "FireJam", my new C application that makes old compact macs a synth, including its in-house Sound Driver and also external MIDI hooks, both IN and OUT. Keep the suggestions for improvements coming, I got..... (1/2)

New Video Released on my channel: youtu.be/gliJVwzRifA

The 3x3 MIDI selector and the PC Gameport party's stocks were runing low, so some fresh new batch (batch #3!) were just added to Joe's Computer Museum store https://www.jcm-1.com#3!)

my BlueSCSI uSD card glitched and I lost everything lovingly dropped into my #globaltalk drop folder for 2026. I'm back in the saddle of course, but it's gonna be tough getting back a fraction of all these treasures. Thank you if you spend a few minutes putting back a file! #MARCHintosh

Project update: a Mac-like C application with menus, a window and a starter piano graphic is done. Here's a short video testing out the freeform wave synth driven by a MIDI controller on my Mac Plus, as well as MIDI out driven by MIDI in.

I'm about to start streaming my playing of Return to Dark Castle, released on Steam on March 3rd! in....1 minute....

amazing

It's launch day for the newly remastered Return to Dark Castle! Check out my interview with the game's creative team, and learn how the new compares to the old! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCZN... store.steampowered.com/app/4054940/...

In less than 3 hours, Return to Dark Castle makes a "return" to Steam, launches TODAY. I'm a rabid fan of the original DC and Beyond DC from the b&w mac days. I'm excited to play this entry - never had the platform for it when it released Precision platform with cartoon humor! 14.99 USD 1st 2 weeks!

John Calhoun (Glider, Glypha, Pararena, etc), one of the greats for classic mac game programming from the late 80's and 90's, is once again interviewed on Ron's Computer Videos. www.youtube.com/watc... #MARCHintosh is starting with a bang!

#MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk this new (non-hypercard, fast, low ram footprint) app "GlobalTalk Chat" released a couple days ago just got an update. It's fantastic to have a landing where you can be active and shoot the breeze with others, gives something else to do apart from stomping around in afps

#globaltalk anyone can help me kick the tires and send a print job to my imagewriter ii in globaltalk? Gotta make sure my connections are ok. zone 99, "1 Bit"

#MARCHintosh starts early for me this year... New video up showcasing a programming project

One week from today... marchintosh.com

TODAY I kept up with the Commodore! I got a pi1541 disk emulator so I can run those crazy european PAL demos on my 1983 NA C64 with a Vic II kawari small board. It was getting old writing to real floppies with a ZoomFloppy board.

1/2

#VCF #Montreal #VCFMTL cool pictures that I'm glad other people (these, from the showrunner) took because I didn't have time as an exhibitor with a table!

more 6502 based programming using floating point calcs 3d transformations, thanks to linear algebra *sound up (MIDI)* done in C on a Wildbits/K2 wildbitscomputing.com

First foray into using fpga accelerated floating point operations (thanks to jbaker's routines) trigger warning: buzzing sounds

when you combine CGA palette, MSDOS aesthetics and a killer OPL2 track, you get this gem:

I improved my RGB light show inside my MIDI file player for my Wildbits/K2 (fmr F256K2). Programming in C is NEAT

one of the most exciting and awaited project is now LIVE LIVE LIVE #picoide
