Хочу напомнить русскоязычным читателям, что я веду блог на Бусти, посвящённый моим увлечениям - приставкам, играм, ретроэлектронике. Он полностью открыт, все посты доступны без подписки, платная подписка по желанию. Буду весьма рад новым подписчикам там! boosty.to/shiru8bit

Краткая история звуковых карт AdLib и совместимых с ними, история звуковых чипов Yamaha, подходы к созданию музыки, обзор трекеров для OPL2 и OPL3. habr.com/ru/companies/r…

Третья, заключительная часть цикла про голоса и песни в компьютерных играх. На этот раз речь пойдёт о вокальных саундтреках CD-качества и около того, звучащих в играх эпохи ранней мультимедиа. Также немного заглядываю и в 2000-е годы. habr.com/ru/companies/r…

«A Walk» — a music video by me. youtu.be/eVaJEh4nYzU

@PlayStationPark One of my fav 3D action games and PS1 games as well.

Whoops! 'Disruptor' PlayStation This was the first game developed by Insomniac Games!

@rhayadercompute I love Super Dropzone on SNES. Played a hell out of it.

Who dosn't like Dropzone ?

Вдогонку — видео с демонстрацией самоделки. This video about my DIY game project has English subtitles. youtube.com/watch?v=CMbpbc…

Новая статья. На этот раз рассказываю про электронную самоделку: игру на основе старого VFD-дисплея покупателя и сканера штрих-кодов. А внутри у ей — Ардуина! habr.com/ru/companies/r…

@CNviolations Over 40 and still got my balls.

Got Yamaha YIS503III KUVT2 from a friend. This is a MSX2 machine that has been made by Yamaha for USSR's education program sometime mid-80s. This one needs some cleanup and maintenance, but it is upgraded, has 1MB RAM, PS/2 keyboard, and HDD board. With JCUKEN keyboard layout!

Yoigi AIO is a "portable multimedia center" from 2010. It can run NES and Sega Genesis games, but it severely lacks buttons, and is not really up to speed. However, it can run Sunplus SPG games. The launcher and some screens themed to a Russian CGI animation "Belka and Strelka".

Q18 Games Console is your regular vanilla portable Famiclone. Has a traditional design, although not sure if it mimicks something. It has a couple of funny things, tho: "Extreme Game Boy" text on the box, and menu available in Spanish and Russian, with badly translated titles.

Первая статья в новом цикле для моего личного блога на Хабре. Серия первая — покупка, ремонт и доработка двух портативных игровых консолей DVTech Scout. habr.com/ru/articles/10…

@PneumaTime Love it, played it through on X360.

Also, prepared 2D layouts using FreeCAD's TechDraw bench to pass them along with a set of 3D-printed flat pieces to my friend who offered his help with the metal parts. Yes, metal parts. Actually can't wait to see how it going to look like in its true form.

Tested out the fuzzy skin feature with the outer frame. I don't plan to keep the printed look, but if someone will re-create this project, it helps to make it pretty. It'll be open source and Arduino-compatible, so you won't need MIK32. Also, found a RU-made piezo to go in there.

Mounted a perfboard, switches, USB Type C charge port, the speaker, and a couple tact buttons. This is a test assembly, materials going to change eventually, but as it is an one-off DIY project, frame and perfboard will remain there, only the outside shell will get replaced.

More work on the MIK32-driven G&W-alike. Improved the internal frame, re-printed it, added the nuts. I'm trying to keep the thing reasonably thin, and there is not much room, so I used use a regular nut as a fused one. The frame had a couple quirks, but now I think it is done.

Bad Apple running on the RISC-V based MIK32 Amur, the only consumer grade MCU that is produced in Russia, including silicon die and packaging. Demo uses 128x64 OLED and mono chiptune, because firmware upload times are crazy slow on this chip at the moment. youtube.com/watch?v=pOADRY…
