I've started exploring a mock case in foamcore to get a general sense of how I want to assemble it. It seems like the MT-32 panel is at a 60 degrees angle. I won't be using the pi3 USB ports at all. The ports that should go out are: area large enough for the microSD to be inserted in/out, MIDI...

After leaving a (max-1) star review detailing the issue, they sent my an email telling me they'll send a corrected copy free of charge! Sweet!

Case inspiration: I plan to redo pretty much this design, roughly. I found this in a thread on vogons forum. After repeated inquiries by a few other people and me, he still hasn't posted his fusion360 files so that we can adapt and 3d print his design. It's about half size compared to...

Here are some progress shots on the ol' breadboard first: Working condition with just my pi3b (while I wait for the 3a to arrive) in headless mode (this project's software has no video output anyway), no controls or LCD screen Addition of the LCD screen: Addition of rotary encoder + 2...

Goals of the project: -Have a small raspberry pi3 deal with MIDI data and playback sound for both Roland MT-32 and Roland Sound Canvas-55 (bonus: other sounds with general midi sound fonts) -Not set it as a pi hat -Put it in a small and cute very transportable custom case Use cases: Many...

Yep! I have p.281 instead of p.251 as well. I hadn't reached that spot yet. That's unfortunate.

I don't know but the datasheet are definitely available and show the exact purpose of every single 304 pin of the SoM. After spending above a thousand dollars to make 2 units, get a decent soldering station, an ok hot air box, a usb microscope and various knick knacks and considering how...

Your milleage may vary but consider hitting the used market for pi3a or pi3b's, many people are selling them off after acquiring a pi4. I had trouble finding them 2 weeks ago but now, they are popping into existence more often right after I bought a complete pi3a (new) started kit from an...

Thanks to @Stephen who acted as an american facilitator, I was able to purchase Super Studio Session from ebay from a seller who refused to sell to Canadians. After paying for all costs involved, it found me at my home today! Composer Ed Bogas teamed up with the likes of Steve Capps (which you...

That's because......it's the solution! Try it out. Click where the 1's are, once. I confirmed it with this, which has an editor built-in: https://www.sfu.ca/~jtmulhol/math302/puzzles-lo.html

I tried my hand at solving the first stage of the B side of levels. You use an augmented matrix that puts 0 everywhere, except in the spots where a cell influences nearby cells. Also, the solution vector has 1's everywhere a square is initially lit up. Here's the exposed method...

ExoDOS Free up a TB somewhere.

Bonus round - these were bought AFTER Ultima VII back in the day (1993ish) to satisfy some completionist streak (such was the power of game companies such as Sierra and Origin). I'm noticing both the Ultima VI disks and its cloth map are missing, maybe I lent them out to someone or are just lost...

Finally got this classic back in my fold. If I recall, this was our 2nd boxed PC game bought for our late 1991 386SX/25, probably around its time of release in 1992. This RPG series is revered among C64 (for the early ones at least) and PC users alike. This was the first entry into VGA and broke...

First testing is done in mini-vMac (I suspect a real Mac Plus is slightly even slower from memory with other tests years ago). This is a baseline without optimizing anything. I perform the screen->offscreen->screen an integer multiple of 50 times and check the difference in TickCount...

Very nice writeup as usual. The other day, my 7 yo son but especially my 4 yo daughter wanted to play with Duck Hunt again. I was tired of fighting for 20+ minutes with the classic cartridge fiddling (inserting-power-on-eject-rinse-repeat) that I just inspected the 72 pins and pulled them...

I'm pre-generating the snowflakes as a char (8-bit) array of 64 characters width (which manages exactly 512 pixels, 1 bit per pixel, same as the compact mac resolution) and 400 lines height (so that the visual repetition of the snowflakes isn't so obvious and memory usage is kept on the...

The THINPC Client of their time! (not really) It looks neat and it looks sharp running the CGA era of games I had back in my primary and secondary school computer labs (which had very outdated equipment in those days).

A covox was a pre-adlib/sound blaster, cheap device that plugged in the parallel port and was released around at the end of 1987, before people massively adopted the adlib at first, then the sound blaster for their sound and music gaming needs. It provided low quality audio signals that occupied...

I wanted to do this for last winter, but I got sidetracked. Right now, I haven't even completed the proof-of-concept, but my goals are: phase 1: -Have a nice little demo program with a winter snowfall theme in the same vein as the famous C64 christmas demo, possibly with music out of the 4-tone...
