Loved the website when I was younger, took years to track down this shirt

Thought you might be interested to hear there's some activity around circuit python on the discord for the board atm after someone found a ton of them. discord.gg/RYuW9pzt

It's been pretty effective at tricking a lot of those people into learning css tbf

RE music controllers, if it was 16x16 instead of 12x12 I absolutely would be trying to make it into a Yamaha Tenori-On right now

Both should work! I used the most generic ESP32 options in Arduino IDE to compile

There's a discord with some discussion about the board here discord.gg/bA6Y72qb (I encourage publicly posting any discoveries too though)

Initial rudimentary library with examples at github.com/padraigfl/tw...

Second demo of Tech Will Save Us's Arcade Coder e-waste running a custom library. showcasing individual inputs

If you've a freemcboot ps2 it's very easy to drop games onto an actual PocketStation and they cost like $20 now.
It's also pretty easy with memcarduino and an old multitap if you're technically inclined

The actual homebrew scene for it in Japan at the time seemed really cool from what I could unearth on the internet archive. Feel like if it had gone international with the arm processor being relatively easy to code for it could have had a huge scene

They migrated to somewhere called MustardLand, don't ask me how I know this

this immediately came to mind

with the exception of leap day

Not yet but I'm working on it

It's playable on Android still if you get the APK from another source. Harmonix's servers are still up for it, bit more awkward to get running after they go down (but still doable)

Recent issues I had:

20 y/o dvd editing software: found tons of help for issues on a dead forum from 2003

PS3 cfw: had a bug, found help from a poorly maintained 2013 wiki

Trying to preserve a 2018 Harmonix game: unofficial discord was deleted, official channels banned mod talk; there was NOTHING

Oh cool, I've got a couple of them lying around! Didn't think they'd work that well for some reason

What kind of led setup is inside it? In a linear spiral up the middle or a matrix?
