Been a while since I found good CRTs on the curb. I don’t want to repost on my secondary X account that did only that. I already have too many to pick and test those two.

Love to try out Friday’s latest build on low powered repurposed E-waste Chromebooks on the sofa. Relaxing

With regards to my findings of today, this was exactly it! The original ‘square button’ Famicom contain the old RP2A03. Got another report of an old mac emulator that implement it too. Strangely this was not known by NESDEV
your useless Famicom trivia for today is that there is a difference in the fire sound in Super Mario Bros. between a square button console and a round button console

Aparently I just made a rather important discovery about the old (letter-less) RP2A03. Lidnariq (NESDEV guru just confirmed from die shots) essentially the lowest noise period value is different: 2046 instead of the 4068 in later revisions. This might change how certain sound effects sound

Your yearly reminder (and first time on bsky!) that the WAVE specification's smpl.dwEnd (loop) member is inclusive, not exclusive

Made a new high sample rate DC recording of the NES MDFourier test by @pineight.com and @artemio.bsky.social
Here: archive.org/details/mdf4... This time with the original DC voltages intact.

Microsoft can sabotage itself pretty good. Resisted upgrading to 24H2 as long as I could muster its nags. Caved in and no less than 3 MAJOR issues happened: My main USB audio device randomly starts and stops (pop-ing my speakers), WSL2 had to be re-installed and Sandbox has broken DNS. Good job.

Needed to do fresh recordings of the MDfourier test on a PAL NES, so popped up my new kickstarter copy of www.kickstarter.com/projects/122... for a spin (its contains this test among many other great things). Having your name and backer number written to EEPROM is a very nice touch!

2024 was a pretty intense year for the team! We are now ready to announce that sforzando and all chip plugins will be supported natively under Linux in the future and at no extra cost to current users. Expect betas in Q2/2025!
