@Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I vaguely remember the GBA being a 32-bit ARM CPU

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@oscillik @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee really?
really?

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee yeee just looked it up, ARM7TDMI

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Woah. ️

Gorgeous to behold!

Just imagining playing these wonderfully grey, thick-block-like sounds on them:

@oscillik @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee bloody hell, TIL

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @oscillik @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee GBA is my justification.

Thank you, Nintendo. Thantendo.

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee they served me through from my Pentium 166MHz (overclocked to 200MHz) playing DOOM and Quake II in a 320x240 window, up until my AMD64 build for DOOM 3 and Half-Life 2

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @oscillik @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee oh I just can’t with this GM shit man

It’s so bad

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee yeah, I was heavily into Psion PDAs and Nokia Symbian-based smartphones at the time, so I was chuffed I was getting another ARM based gadget

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @oscillik @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Oh, you don't like it? Ok ok, it wasn't the best example.

But doesn't it work on this one? isn't this something special, in a way? maybe? -

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee James Paddock's remix of DRUNNIN2.MID for MyHouse.wad is fucking genius though

[emenel@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee i feel my splines reticulating already

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@oscillik @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee wow psion I rem those things, not heard that name in years

Could you make music on those things?

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Ahhhh, so nice to read this.

I was in the same boat. I remember the excitement of getting an 8mg 3D fx graphics card, too.

The original Unreal is really underrated imo. Like it even more than DOOM, Quake II, or Half Life.

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee you could definitely record audio on the Series 5, Series 7, and netBook. I've still got my Psion netBook here…it's ace because the OS is stored in RAM, so you can boot Linux on it (I think there's even a BSD for it as well).

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@emenel @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee truthfully I've never found anyone who shares my love of such nasty sounds

perhaps any materials made with them best stay safe on my hard drive

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@oscillik @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee this is right at the point where my nostalgia gives way to pure discomfort

Maybe if I was ten years younger

[elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org]

@sean_ae wow ! did you like nanoloop? any tracks with it? I remember you mentioning renoise but didn’t know you had nanoloop.

@Cognessence
Still enjoying your chip music album Robert!
https://robertloganmusic.bandcamp.com/album/16-bits-of-heaven looking forward to catching up more when we reschedule the 2nd meetup

@Rushup_Dee

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@oscillik @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee ooh nice

That would be a good gig, rocking up with a couple of them

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@elifyalvac @Cognessence @Rushup_Dee nothing we released but played with it loads

It’s prob got some stuff on there still, not run it for 20 years at least
