Questa non è un’ode all’MSX (me la terrò in serbo per una prossima volta), però cazzo se è buono l’MSX. Ora che lo guardo un pochino meglio, per molti versi sembra decisamente più allettante del NES, e mi sa che rischia di diventare la mia piattaforma #retro preferita, dal punto di vista dello #sviluppo #software. (Riguardo il gaming invece, si continua ad andare semplicemente dove stanno i giochi volta per volta, il resto conta meno di zero.) 🥶️

Lo stereotipo che i giochi #MSX scrollano di cacca in parte è vero, e certamente il NES sotto quel punto di vista rimane migliore, però per il resto… l’audio è oggettivamente migliore (ha più roba dei 4 canali), il video negli altri ambiti è più potente e flessibile con anche diverse modalità (e con MSX2 diviene tutto ancora meglio), e per il resto… l’MSX è uno standard per home computer, non una console, per cui si gode di più memoria senza bestemmie, supporto di prima classe a dispositivi come mouse e tastiera, o anche espansioni più oscure. 👹️

Volendo quasi quasi programmare per questa piattaforma quel recente giochino che ho in mente, perché credo di riuscire a fare qualcosa di artisticamente più valido con le limitazioni d’epoca (ma sento che il NES rischia di essere un mal di testa troppo grosso), ho provato a cercare qualcosa… E inizialmente mi stavo un po’ scoraggiando, non riuscendo a trovare materiale soddisfacente, ma continuando a scavare ho trovato MSXgl; sembra una #libreria multimediale eccellente, permette di #programmare in #C con astrazioni comode per quasi ogni cosa. La documentazione non è perfetta, molti dettagli non sono detti quindi un po’ ho dovuto guardare i sorgenti dell’engine e degli esempi, e un po’ cercare in giro… ma è comunque sorprendentemente ottima. 😻️

Per iniziare a prendere familiarità col tutto, ho fatto giusto questo po’ ora: una ROM che mostra due linee di dialogo senza senso all’avvio, e poi cambia scena e inizia a riprodurre una musica. Ovviamente, gli assets sono quelli di #esempio, non ho ancora iniziato a produrre nulla, anche perché devo prima capire quale modalità video è la migliore per questa mia applicazione… 🧐️https://octospacc.altervista.org/2024/05/18/msx-more-like-sex/

Ich hatte nach der @Cloudplay Show 78, welche übrigens sehr spannend war (MS Studio schließungen) einfach mal Bock Super Mario Land durchzuspielen, so bin ich bei DX (GB Version in Farbe) & New (SNES Version) gelandet 😍

At first glance I thought the "15 cents" price was from a yard sale markdown but then I spotted the Hardware Fair sticker. Pre-UPC economy. This chain survived in from post WWII originally as the Baltimore Salvage Company, then expanding from a Pratt Street storefront to about a dozen retail stores from Glen Burnie to Reisterstown to Perry Hall.

Oh man, this shit is cool!
When you're that loving of your project and the things that made it good, you will do what you can to preserve the old arcade sound.
Quote by Andy Hofle: the author.
"The arcade ambience project is an attempt of mine to simulate the audio ambience of a crowded arcade room during the golden age of arcades in the 1980s. This is a sound I think that has been lost over the years and does not exist in today's pitiful arcades in my opinion. My main motivation for this project was to create some ambience in my basement arcade, having a somewhat authentic arcade background hum while I or my guests play on my MAME arcade cabinet. I thought that maybe others who have cabinets (or just miss real arcade nostalgia) could also benefit from my work."

"Magic Moon" - Der 14. Captain-Future-Roman gehört zu denjenigen Erzählungen, die bislang nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind - dafür aber wurde er als Animé-Episode verfilmt (Titel: "Die Rolle seines Lebens")...

Until now I do not own any storage system whatsoever for my Commodore C64 breadbin.

I am looking into several solutions like the SD2IEC (several) combined with a Final Cartridge III+ cartridge or an EPYX FASTLOAD cartridge.

The perfect yet pricy (for me) solution would be the Ultimate 1541 II-L cartridge.

Another one could be the Pi1541 but I haven't yet found any offer that can sell me the complete thing with the case ...

Someone on FB unfriended me and they wanted me to know why. Ummm. So I said ok... think they wanted an apology for a comment I made on one of their posts instead of an ok 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do not want to be dragged into their drama. Is even more confusing for people 😳

Mastodon is a big part of my move away from Facebook. THIS is how social media was at the dawn of the internet (maybe we didn’t use that term) - we ended up with FB et al. We ended up with bullshit. I’m glad to make my way back to old school online socials. BTW, does IRC still exist?

This is the 𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙝 in-game tune our composer Ramon Braumuller made.

We wanted the music to be relaxing, as there's time-based pressure to solve the puzzles.
