Firefox GUI keeps getting worse and worse. Now they've decided that everyone need ridiculously large rounded corners. Can we just go back to 3.6 please?
SNK's "PCM" is a mapper, not a sound chip ( wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php… )
Namco System Super 22 did not have an FM chip

@furrtek さんや！AES+の発表を聞いて、わたしはAESで動くサウンドドライバを作り完成させました！ありがとう😊
Had the chance to spend a LOT of time with the NEO•GEO AES+ at TGS, testing it extensively on KOF 2002 and Garou, and discussing it directly with the people behind the project.
My first impression? Excellent.
Aside from playing on a modern HD display, the game feel is remarkably faithful to the original AES. The responsiveness, controls and overall feeling immediately felt right. As someone who has spent countless hours on the original hardware, that means a lot to me.
I also received an incredible welcome from the team, and I was especially impressed by how receptive everyone was to feedback and discussion.
Huge respect to @furrtek , pictured with me, and Bruno, the two engineers behind the project. Their passion, expertise and incredible technical work are what made this little technological miracle possible.
Extremely promising. I can't wait for the release! 🔥

制作中のMUCOM88 VSTiでは、VGM形式のファイルをmmlgui形式のMMLに逆コンバートすることもできます。完全な再現は難しいですが、音色やスコアをある程度解析できるので、MMLの研究や学習にも役立つかもしれませんね。

アーシオンのBGMもMUCOM88 VSTiで完全再現！
BGM制作に使った「mmlgui」のMMLをそのまま編集・再生できる「mmlguiモード」を追加しました。これでメガドライブ向けのネイティブな音楽制作も可能になりました。
Note that a bare Z80 processor die should produce these colors while it is calculating. If it does anyway, that is extremely concerning.

One thing I'm noting in both the Qwen3.8-Max and Kimi K3 announcements is how they brag about how their models can design chips. I think this is a clear message that shows what China wants to do with these models...
I think with the rise in PC and console prices, it's time we stop seeing electronics as disposable as we have done for the last 20-30 years and actually start making them repairable again.

In 1995 Nvidia failed to deliver the chip Sega paid for.
Jensen Huang flew to Tokyo, admitted he picked the wrong architecture, and asked Sega to convert the $5M owed into equity.
He told them the money would probably be lost. Sega said yes anyway.
That $5M funded the RIVA 128. Yesterday Huang went back to the same Akihabara arcade to thank Irimajiri in person, 30 years later.
Nvidia survives, goes public. Sega sells early.
Held to today, that stake would be worth about $1 trillion.
🤣 Chinese brand Yueban has unveiled a smart toilet on wheels
With the press of a button, the device drives itself to the user, eliminating the need to walk to the bathroom. The company says it is designed primarily for elderly people and those with limited mobility.
After use, the gadget can wash both the user and itself before returning to its docking station for a full self-disinfection cycle.
