Хочу напомнить русскоязычным читателям, что я веду блог на Бусти, посвящённый моим увлечениям - приставкам, играм, ретроэлектронике. Он полностью открыт, все посты доступны без подписки, платная подписка по желанию. Буду весьма рад новым подписчикам там! boosty.to/shiru8bit

Для разнообразия попробовал написать про что-то немного другое в ретро-тематике. Например, про игру Battle City. Её история, создатели, предшественники, порты, продолжения, хаки. habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/…

Обзор истории рождения мультитрекеров — музыкальных редакторов для множества звуковых чипов одновременно. Первые мультитрекеры и главный убер-мультитрекер современности — Furnace. Краткий обзор чипов, поддерживаемых Furnace на данный момент. habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/…

Третья, заключительная часть цикла про голоса и песни в компьютерных играх. На этот раз речь пойдёт о вокальных саундтреках CD-качества и около того, звучащих в играх эпохи ранней мультимедиа. Также немного заглядываю и в 2000-е годы. habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/…

Got Yamaha YIS503III KUVT2 from a friend. This is a MSX2 machine that has been made by Yamaha for USSR's education program sometime mid-80s. This one needs some cleanup and maintenance, but it is upgraded, has 1MB RAM, PS/2 keyboard, and HDD board. With JCUKEN keyboard layout!

Yoigi AIO is a "portable multimedia center" from 2010. It can run NES and Sega Genesis games, but it severely lacks buttons, and is not really up to speed. However, it can run Sunplus SPG games. The launcher and some screens themed to a Russian CGI animation "Belka and Strelka".

Q18 Games Console is your regular vanilla portable Famiclone. Has a traditional design, although not sure if it mimicks something. It has a couple of funny things, tho: "Extreme Game Boy" text on the box, and menu available in Spanish and Russian, with badly translated titles.

Also, prepared 2D layouts using FreeCAD's TechDraw bench to pass them along with a set of 3D-printed flat pieces to my friend who offered his help with the metal parts. Yes, metal parts. Actually can't wait to see how it going to look like in its true form.

Tested out the fuzzy skin feature with the outer frame. I don't plan to keep the printed look, but if someone will re-create this project, it helps to make it pretty. It'll be open source and Arduino-compatible, so you won't need MIK32. Also, found a RU-made piezo to go in there.

Mounted a perfboard, switches, USB Type C charge port, the speaker, and a couple tact buttons. This is a test assembly, materials going to change eventually, but as it is an one-off DIY project, frame and perfboard will remain there, only the outside shell will get replaced.

More work on the MIK32-driven G&W-alike. Improved the internal frame, re-printed it, added the nuts. I'm trying to keep the thing reasonably thin, and there is not much room, so I used use a regular nut as a fused one. The frame had a couple quirks, but now I think it is done.

Bad Apple running on the RISC-V based MIK32 Amur, the only consumer grade MCU that is produced in Russia, including silicon die and packaging. Demo uses 128x64 OLED and mono chiptune, because firmware upload times are crazy slow on this chip at the moment. youtube.com/watch?v=pOADRYvE…

Вышла статья про мой очередной подход к отечественному RISC-V микроконтроллеру MIK32 «Амур» в формате платы Elbear ACE-UNO, работающей в экосистеме Arduino. Я всё же смог показать с её помощью пресловутый ролик Bad Apple. habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/…

Here is a test fit for the screen, the board, and the battery. Even though it is a bulky brick, the room is quite tight. But it all fits, so I like how it turns out. Will take a while to complete, tho. The modular plane-based design is for a reason there.
