<TD-Linux>
opus could potentially work pretty well for compressing the samples better than whatever the original hardware did
<TD-Linux>
opus on floppy sounds ok if you're willing to cram less than 30 minutes on
<TD-Linux>
there's very little research into doing music sub 24kbps or so
<andlabs>
yeah that's just a minor photoshop on a real thing
<andlabs>
because RTX8030 is a graphics card by nviia
<andlabs>
nvidia
<cr1901_modern>
Huh... so TIL Yamaha makes routers
<cr1901_modern>
I guess it's like Hyundai in that it makes everything (ships, cars, used to make motherboards)?
<superctr__>
yeah they also make switches and wireless access points
<superctr__>
and VPN software apparently
<andlabs>
can't wait for yamaha vpn to start sponsoring fm music youtube channels

Oh HELL NO
<m4t>
just finished up the second megagrrl. well, i finished it a few days ago but the solder i guess warped the bourns pot so that the wiper was no longer making contact and it was reading mohm resistance range :(
<m4t>
it was the last component i soldered on the second of two that i built. and desoldering it didn't work completely, so i cut it off, and then like a dummy lifted half the gnd pads :(
<andlabs>
but what about the woodgrain combined with chrome
<m4t>
hmm i could mask off the display and use some chrome spray paint
<m4t>
i do have a shiny anodized blue pot knob on the way. not chrome but still kind of fancy.
<m4t>
btw does anyone know of a collection of "top" vgm tracks? i've been on project2612 and downloaded some of the most popular games, but it'd be nice to have a ready-made playlist.
<cr1901_modern>
Thunder Force 4, Devilish, Star Cruiser, Shining In the Darkness, Vapor Trail are the first 5 that come to mind that _I_ personally like best
<cr1901_modern>
most ppl will add Streets Of Rage 2, which of course is good, but I like the above more :P
<racoon>
mega turrican, gain ground
<cr1901_modern>
dynamite headdy might also be a good one
<cr1901_modern>
racoon: Gain Ground is pretty neat. Never heard of it before tonight
<racoon>
it's a weird ass game. kinda strategy before strategy games were invented. or reverse tower defence maybe? very unpopular arcade game with a very good md port
<racoon>
i like it a lot actually
<cr1901_modern>
reverse tower defense? As in "you are trying to get to the exit", rather than "protect the exit"?
<racoon>
yes
<racoon>
i have the theme to Mystic Defender's first stage stuck in my head, so that too I guess
<racoon>
mystic defender is similar to revenge of shinobi so throw that one in too, amazing soundtrack
<cr1901_modern>
Alisia Dragoon is a good one too
<cr1901_modern>
I unironically like Sonic Spinball's soundtrack
<m4t>
thanks, will grab those
<racoon>
don't grab gain ground it's actuallly bad i just have a soft spot for it. the other recs are all solid
