Redbook audio. Inside a pair of .bin/.cue files on a uSD card, plugged into a PicoGUS, installed on my 486 DX2/66.

Ok, Wipeout runs at like 7 fps but C'MON! redbook audio music virtually mounted and playing!

This firmware for PicoGUS is coming soon!
What other MSDOS games would run great here?

If you weren't at VCF East 2025 like me, you missed Ian Scott's presentation on his behemoth project PicoGUS sound card for old PCs with ISA slots. Here it is, his path, and the wonderful open source community around it. Also, plans for future revisions https://youtu.be/gTLAhIkmUl0?si=IaC9JQjiUZIwMHYZ

Well, I did it. Bad Apple on the #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems.

80x60 text mode, 20 fps, native mp3 playback with its VS1053b onboard chip. all in glorious 8-bit 6502 mode.

Never knew how to do a "Bad Apple" implementation, so I sat down, and learned by doing it!

it pays off to comment on my youtube videos sometimes!
someone asked in this video about the Archon graphics, so I went ahead and coded a simple C program to display the raw binary data in the right resource as 32-bit wide bitmaps.

@uliwitness they did, but there's an elusive slice of software made by companies who still bent over backwards for system 6 die-hards in the early 90's.

What Macintosh CD images have software on them that can run in System 6? Cosmic Osmo, the Manhole, Prince of Persia collection (only pop1 in b&w runs on this Mac Plus ofc). Oregon v1.2 only runs on Sys7+. I would guess some earlyish 90's user group cds as well.

Nice simple tie between MIDI events and RGB addressable LED on this case of my #F256K2 from Foenix Retro Systems.
This is my own programmed standard MIDI file player made in C.
