ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

I've finally dumped the EPROM of Brandon's Action Replay: It's identical.

Hardly a scientific study, but I estimate there's been ~70 unique visitors to this chat since Jan 1st, whereas for the entirity of 2019, there were ~120 unique visitors. Huh...
<cr1901_modern>
Can't calculate all time visitors because of the spam problem in 2018
<andlabs>
yay I bought a FM-PAC
<cr1901_modern>
andlabs: Oh my, that seems like a nice find :o!
<cr1901_modern>
What's the surface mount chip for I wonder (decoding?)
<andlabs>
or I think you merged it inot foo_psf, hmmm
<ej5>
hey Foone have you checked the PALS to see if they are locked?

no, I'm not really sure if I can right now. I'm not allowed to desolder these, but Lord_Nightmare has another one where that'll be OK
<Foone>
so for now I'm analyzing the firmware, software, and building a schematic of the PCB
<Foone>
I did most of the rebuilding just using the pictures. I felt very much like I was channeling you
<ej5>
haha cool
<cr1901_modern>
wb btw, ej5 :P
<cr1901_modern>
And wb linkmauve as well :)

My UPS seems dead, I have to change it.
<linkmauve>
Otherwise my server will continue to stop whenever there is the slightest power outage.
<cr1901_modern>
Yea I get it... sometimes electronics die if you sneeze wrong
<linkmauve>
It’s been working for the past… eight years, I think the battery might be dead now for some reason.
<KitsuWhooa>
the fact that it lasted for 8 years with the same battery is amazing on its own
<linkmauve>
It was already second-hand when I got it, so it might be more.
<linkmauve>
Originally provided only 15 minutes for my Pentium 4, then I moved to ARM devboards and it’s sustained >1h power outages. :)

andlabs: I renamed the two repositories (content stayed the same) to try to reduce the same confusion that you had when you were trying to find it
<kode54>
but at the same time, I guess I introduced new confusion
