woah it's been forever since I logged in. how's everybody been?

Now that I'm back here's a neat project I've been working on: contributing MIDI support to the cross platform Sega Saturn emulator Ymir.

This allows the MIDI registers on the SCSP to be used to interface with external software & MIDI devices - for example, I can now send MIDI data from FL Studio directly into a sound driver running inside an instance of the emulator.

🎙️✨ "Finally! The RM2000 Tape Recorder is here to let your Mac pretend it's from 1985, capturing sounds like a ninja with a PhD in eavesdropping. Who needs modern solutions when you can have a nostalgic trip back to the age of cassette tapes, complete with the thrill of no-clunky-setup-required! 🕶️💾"

Waiting in a tire-shop lobby, spotted this delightfully ancient (and certainly defunct) security camera still in one of the room's upper corners. Tempted to assume when it still worked the lens made audible *clicks* and a "rrrrrrrrr" sound when focusing #surveillance #cassettefuturism #retrotech #cassettepunk

A very boxy and dusty 70s or 80s era security camera, mounted on an angular arm high up on a white office wall, obviously no longer working. It has a large protruding lens, and on the side in big block letters it's labeled "USEC: RDS 790"

I haven't even finished the PC case yet and I'm already thinking

"Whenever I finish this thing I'll need to take cool photos. Hmm, I need to make a retro modern mouse to go with it. I mean I have a MX master 3S sitting around I could use for nice internals. I'll also need to do a bit of cosmetic work for my speakers, and my speaker stands, and my desk, and maybe add a little something to my monitor…" :neofox_think_googly:

Finally got back to getting the stop comparator card repaired in the 567 / 6R1A. It was a bad tunnel diode after all. You can see the curve has a super weak negative resistance region (the dip where the curve changes direction); it's supposed to be much more pronounced.
