Update: My Pokemon Blue save file still works!

Waow! After all these years!!! It's older than some people here. The battery is at least 25+ years old!

Now wondering if I should even bother salvaging it...

How is Once Upon a Katamari similar to Saints Row...?

Changed out the belt, wheels, and ignition solenoid coils on an old Maytag dryer (~ 30 years).

I replaced the blower fan some years ago (not OEM). Made a rattling noise (center no longer gripped axle).

Very easy DIY since dryer tech has not improved since 1970s (outside of heat pump tech).

Finally did preventative maintenance on a Toyota DENSO alternator by replacing brushes. After 220K miles, I think I'm playing with fire. I don't want to be stranded at the most inconvenient time.

Pretty easy. Reinstalling it was actually more difficult.

Alternator now generates higher Voltages.

This arrangement is what I really wanted to make.

All those times of messing up the final 5th lap...

Knockout Tour needs a warning beep for complete exp.

Bring back 5 laps!

Wanted to try a 4 channel arrangement. It kind of works...

I may post a Mario Kart 7 style later as it has some significant changes.

Deleted previous post due to errors.

#chiptune #8bit

Ok. Let's try that again in 720 resolution.

Mega Man Battle Network - Indoors

Only music I hear when I remember this game.

Testing video formats to see how they well they loop.

First is 480 resolution. 2A03 via FamiStudio.

I don't know why I was unable to decipher the counter melody. Maybe my tinnitus is bad.

「美少女戦士セーラームーンクリスタル」MOON PRIDE (Revo)
Sailor Moon Crystal Intro

Ricoh 2A03 via FamiStudio (FC/NES) 4 channels

Product of borrowing noise and bass pattern tracks and tempo (180 > 172) from Mega Man 2

Transcriptions available online are not accurate. I tried though I had fun.

#chiptune #8bit

「ふしぎ・プルプル・プルリン・リン!」Mysterious Puru Puru Pururin Rin! (incomplete) from 「NHKにようこそ!」 Welcome to the NHK!

2A03 with FDS

I wonder if the Pururin song would work in NES/Famicom ファミコンchiptune sound via FamiStudio. Seems OK.

Maybe the ringtone Yamazaki originally wanted. I might complete it later.

NHKにようこそ! (Welcome to the NHK!): パズル (Puzzle)

2A03 with FDS「ファミコン ディスクシステム」

Thanks to @sanwych.bsky.social for the score.

Playing with FamiStudio again.

FDS adds one user editable wave track. It can highlight a sound or mimic a shape. Default works for this dual singer lead for this song.

Sailor Moon: La Soldier on 2A03
セーラームーン：「ラ・ソルジャー」

First time using chiptune (FamiStudio), so I'm still unfamiliar how everything works.

Started out as a joke. Wanted to see the result.

Maybe I'll revisit it again on a different setup.

It reminded me of a game that I may post some time later.

As of 2025, an orthodontics practice uses that space. Before then a buffet. Some minor changes to the ramp + entrance door though window space remains the same.

The German bakery Linde still exists (after 20 years!) You can see part of the bakery in the close up shot.

Post PGSM hobby: Find filming locations.

Here's one I just solved. In Act 5, when Ami worries whether Usagi is truly her friend, she stops in front of a store that plays a dramatic backstabbing scene on TV.

Funny part: TV's in a store named DORAMA with a complementing tagline.

Store is gone now.

Probably been posted many times since I'm extremely LTTP. I think it's a little funny how PGSM Sailor Moon live action scene predated the misogynistic jealous girlfriend meme.

Sailor Moon Piano Music: Moon Prism Power Make Up!
セーラームーンのピアノ音楽：「ムーンプリズムパワーメイクアップ！」

I redid this arrangement 5 times because I wasn't satisfied with the results. I spent way too much time on transcribing this anime classic.

Debated on keeping this to one page. Settled on original repeats.

That Super Mario Wonder Let's Challenge Jumping (Jump Jump Jump) music has been stuck in my head all year. Don't have all the notes and tempo markings right as it's the best I can do. Seems playable on piano.
