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.

<protosphere> i found a cursed looking connector https://twitter.com/protosphere_/status/1353206741387755520
<protosphere> it belongs to a PC-H98
<ej5> here's the other end of the PC-H98 connector: https://twitter.com/cr1901/status/1336859279849103361
<protosphere> oh! I had a feeling I'd seen it somewhere
<protosphere> they don't seem easy to come by though so i guess i will pass on buying the pc
<cr1901_modern> I've seen that connector before :P
<sorear> haskell 98 connector

<TD-Linux> yeah the PC-H98 was kind of a "fork" of the PC-98 line that added support for high res graphics modes. http://radioc.web.fc2.com/column/pc98bas/pc98disphw_en.htm
<TD-Linux> specifically 1120x750

<HXLNT> Lord_Nightmare: I meant to ask, when you said you thought you saw something that looked like audio data in the Loopy ROM, was that based on looking in Audacity? Or hex editor?
<HXLNT> Just curious... definitely new to this side of REing
<Lord_Nightmare> i was looking at the data in binxelview
<Lord_Nightmare> audio data has a very specific 'look' to it with moire-like patterns
<Lord_Nightmare> unless its extremely heavily compressed like mp3
<HXLNT> oh, wow! i didn't know about this tool... just looked it up
<HXLNT> from our friend brad smith :)
<HXLNT> i've seen that "data look" in graphics for sure, heh

<cr1901_modern> HXLNT: Brad Smith/rainwarrior has been in this room before, but not for a long time
<HXLNT> rude
<cr1901_modern> Perhaps you could... gently prod him to start idling again :P?
<cr1901_modern> Nah, not really, I'm sure he's just busy
<cr1901_modern> He was in the room around the time the VRC7 instrument ROM was dumped
