🌀 Ever wanted to tap into the Sega CD using SGDK?
This video breaks down how to get started from setup to using the Fusion Driver by Vic to access Sega CD hardware like a pro. 🚀

Time to let the big guns out! This clip shows Vic's Fusion driver being used to for in game speech. The speech being played is SPCM 8-bit 27500 kHz. I'm finishing up a script for a video on how to do this. https://youtu.be/GKyftVGeMsM #segacd #segagenesis #segamegadrive

This clip shows Vic's Fusion driver being used to stream PCM from the Sega CD hardware. The track being played is sampled at 8-bit 27500 kHz. I'm finishing up a script for a video on how to do this in the SGDK. https://youtu.be/zhfo9A_PLpI #segacd #segagenesis #segamegadrive

So I finally got Sega CD Mode 1 working with the SGDK and Vic's great PCM sound driver! Obviously my next step is playing music and speech off a CD 😁 #gamedev #segacd

The sensitivity index: Corrupting Y2K

by @beet_keeper

In December I asked “What will you bitflip today?” Not long after, Johan’s (@bitsgalore) Digtial Dark Age Crew released its long lost hidden single Y2K — well, I couldn’t resist corrupting it.

Fixity is an interesting property enabled by digital technologies. Checksums allow us to demonstrate mathematically that a file has not been changed. An often cited definition of fixity is:

Fixity, in the preservation sense, means the assurance that a digital file has remained unchanged, i.e. fixed — Bailey (2014)

It’s very much linked to the concept of integrity. A UNESCO definition of which:

The state of being whole, uncorrupted and free of unauthorized and undocumented changes.

Integrity is massively important at this time in history. It gives us the guarantees we need that digital objects we work with aren’t harboring their own sinister secrets in the form of malware and other potentially damaging payloads.

These values are contingent on bit-level preservation, the field of digital preservation largely assumes this; that we will be able to look after our content without losing information. As feasible as this may be these days, what happens if we lose some information? Where does authenticity come into play?

Through corrupting Y2K, I took time to reflect on integrity versus authenticity, as well as create some interesting glitched outputs. I also uncovered what may be the first audio that reveals what the Millennium Bug itself may have sounded like! Keen to hear it? Read on to find out more.

Patreons now get a first look at The Byte Bar's new bouncer in Chords. #gamedev #segagenesis #megadrive

It also features Sega CD32x FMV. You can see my example here: https://youtu.be/6wsLg955VAM

Change logs here:

V2 of #DOOM CD32X Fusion has been released with dozens of new features and bug-fixes. With vastly improved streaming music and FMV support, it is probably the most elaborate software release for any pre-Saturn #Sega console ever.

I can say WHAT in this new Sega Genesis & Mega Drive game?

@SiegeFeathers well done!!!! 😄 Seriously I'm amazed someone figured it out.

A rock band featuring a robot cat? Watch a run through of my Mega Drive and Sega Genesis game Chords. https://youtu.be/_ixyv4IVGjk?si=OatMi4-LaC_llIKj #gamedev #megadrive #segagenesis

What’s this video running on? Absolutely Rose Street (1994) is a quirky slice of gaming history. This video of it has been captured from Sega hardware! But which hardware? It's a mystery. Watch and drop a guess in the comments!
