That's right! The cover I've been wanting to test my sound design on is finally finished!

That's right! I helped my friend Abyxus compiling his impressive 2xSID tune into a single .sid file, which is normally impossible due to music engine restrictions. Had to make some modifications to patch in the second half at runtime 😄

Have you ever spent almost a month of free time rewriting the hardest piece of cycle-counted code and having so many demotivations in-between, just to find out it doesn't work in the end?

Yes, that just happened to me 😭

Man I like Motorola 68000

Self-modifying code, no registers used here

I bought new parts and fixed it now 👍

I regret to inform you guys that I'm currently locked out of YouTube uploads since I forgot my old phone which has an Authenticator registered at home 😭

However I'll instead post a 2-minute preview here. I'm very sorry for this unexpected scuff

Hi everyone! As my birthday is coming near, I'm glad to announce that I'll be premiering a new song cover!

So my main keyboard's 6 key has died. I finally got to troubleshoot it today and turned out the diode at DW12 is broken 😔
Which means I have no way to repair it properly without buying new parts

Back PCB of my keyboard. I removed 6 key's switch here which is under LED23. I also reflowed the solder around 6 key's mounting points.

(it's been a year already since the last announcement? 😭)

Still, this game will be of very low priority for now until I get Project Ozone and other works sorted out.

Stay tuned, Commander!

Announcement regarding Project Aiko

Following a recent serious discussion (read: rants) and lack of platform developments, it's been decided that Commander X16 will no longer be the main target system. However, a new one is planned and I already learned its CPU architecture 😉

Today we discovered that in early 2C02 PPU revisions, there's a hidden test register that puts in a special video mode where all 64 colors are accessible!
Sadly we're still figuring how to reliably access it and the only proof was this low-quality image...
