tasty new amiga groovebox just dropped

[changterhune@mastodon.social]

@sean_ae ohhh funky! Used to know the guy who led the Amiga association back in the day. Dave was very cool. As cool as this in fact.

Always wondered why Amiga didn’t take off as hard here as over there.

[rushup_dee@mastodon.social]

@sean_ae Did you see the FM Groovebox for GBA? Also just released! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8wOA3V2KJo

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Rushup_Dee oh wow i'm gonna have to get this, my GBAs are in the uk though

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @Rushup_Dee best console ever.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @Rushup_Dee fuck yeah, esp the backlit ones (i have the NES tribute SP, it's a beauty)

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @Rushup_Dee Oh yeah, that was a thing of beauty!

I had both the original and the SP, and remember trying to angle the former to see. And then getting one of those ridiculous/kinda cool? worm lights to solve the issue.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @Rushup_Dee yeah i had the original as well, a white one

that was peak nintendo era for me, them things and the gamecube

[poetaster@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Rushup_Dee https://lo-bit.club/fms direct link

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @Rushup_Dee Oooh, white was good on them. I had a generic purple one.

100% agreed it was peak Nintendo era. Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Metroid Prime...my days.

They got rather "seeker friendly" after that.

@qebo @sean_ae You can grab a cheap Pistorm accelerator but have you seen what stock Amigas go for now

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@janne808 @qebo a500 goes for about £200

[janne808@lacommune.social]

@sean_ae @qebo Used to be something like 20 Euros for an A500. A1200 is even worse, I'm pretty sure there are still tons of them around in Europe.

@Cognessence @sean_ae @Rushup_Dee (pssss, Mother 3)

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@janne808 @qebo yeah no doubt

[elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org]

@Cognessence @sean_ae @Rushup_Dee

How about this creature? I love how it's see-through, like an animatronic. I also have a yellow GB Color which dramatically ran out of battery mid set the other Friday playing LSDJ on a boat well, alongside two other instruments (phew!)

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@elifyalvac @Cognessence @Rushup_Dee very much yes

I still have an old gb somewhere, I wonder where that is

I had nanoloop as well

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I’m sure these GBA posts are why I’ve been sharing remixing stuff randomly.
(Sorry for spam.)

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee ooh what’s this remix? Solid work

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee On '16 Bits of Heaven' I wasn't into drums in that period and it was fairly true to the chips on the whole / not "loud" - have wanted to do a souped-up more hyped drummier version for a while (though am happy with the original for what it is.)

Thank you.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee yeah I marginally prefer the original tbh but I like this a lot as well

Esp all the extra trills and whatnot, very turbocharged
