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!

Ernesto, the superbasic master, is at it again with this now completed gamejam entry for the #Foenix systems. A ps/2 mouse-driven remake of that game we saw on every platform in the late 80's - early 90's: Shanghai. Once again proving you don't NEED 6502 assembly to get something DONE.

a wedge shaped computer where the computer internals are inside the keyboard. it's a black case F256K2 from Foenix Retro System, with mostly black keycaps for the letters and numbers, but with purple special keys (shift, enter, etc.) and yellow ones for the arrow keys.

a FireJam example, my programming project for #F256K2 from #Foenix. This iconic OPL2 tune from Ultima Underworld has the bell instrument autoplaying the background, and I play its bass over it in real time. See my replies to this thread to see other instruments layered in, MIDI and SID! 1/3 🧵

I received my K2 enclosure to go with my K2 board - it now uses optical switches to dramatically reduce fabrication time!
#F256K2 #Foenix
the K2 normally comes assembled, but I got an early Oct 2024 board that I could use with the original K's case. video of the K2 board going to its case soon!

Cool port of #Ultima III nearing 100% for the #Foenix series (F256K, etc) made by Minstrel Dragon that showcases SID music and uses tilesets from Ultima V because it looks better

oops, this is the real link I meant to share last night

MIDI has been on my mind since at least May of 2024. Here's a recap of the timeline of things I've accomplished:

2nd example for my standard MIDI file parser and player I coded in C going on my F256K2 that uses a sam2695 chip from Dream. This code was ported from my own from the Mac 68k world.

After powering through so many bugs, I've got a standard MIDI file parser and player I coded in C going on my F256K2 that uses a sam2695 chip from Dream. This code was ported from my own from the Mac 68k world.

So #JeriEllsworth is the OG at FPGA-based retro emulation, proving the concept way back in 2002 with the C-one SBC, produced in limited quantities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-One

In late 2004, an ASIC-based C64-in-a-joystick with 30 licensed C64 games preinstalled called C64 Direct-to-TV was released, also by Jeri Ellsworth:

I'm hugely inspired by Stefany Allaire and the #Foenix F256K computer-in-a-keyboard:

If you want real tactile feel, buy hers.

#F256K #F256K2 #Foenix I added SID and PSG control to my #MIDI controlled C jam session program

This avalanche of sound options ought to keep me busy for a while on the newest
#F256K2
(also available on the cheaper SBC F256Jr.2) from
#foenix
retro systems.
Currently working on a video on a 'jam session' test app for MIDI for the sam2695 synth chip

#retrocomputing

New #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems has MIDI in and out support - good use case for the MIDI selector I designed recently. I can switch between a 25-key portable keytar or a full 88-key controller from m-audio. I've got *plans* for the F256K2...
1/2

My Game Jam entry is done, programmed in C, meant for #F256K, K2, Jr. or Jr.2 from #Foenix Retro Systems. Supports simple PSG sound for the older machines, but MIDI for the newer as well.
I will port this to 68k macs in time!

The Team managed to bring FujiNet up on the Foenix 256k retro computer, running OS-9 and rocking a 6809.
