cr1901 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.

<cr1901> natalie: Was this inspired by me doing the 286 port, or did you independently decide to do a UXN port? :o https://nya.social/notes/817aadeff632e375ab639749
<NiGHTS> natalie null ☎️ (@natalie) | nya.social
<cr1901> Either way, excellent work
<cr1901> You got a lot further than my port right now
<natalie> independently actually
<natalie> i saw yours after mine was working and before i posted, when i was looking to see if there were other threads lol
<cr1901> I did the minimum amount of work to get hello world running. I didn't feel like writing an EGA driver (yesterday or today lol) to go any further
<cr1901> Watcom C doesn't support structs > 64kB, even in huge mode, so I had to make some minor adjustments (and make a 64kB stack variable a global, because otherwise stack wraps around and destroys main ret addr)
<andlabs> how do you even
<cr1901> how do you even what?
<andlabs> >64kb struct
<NiGHTS> XXIIVV — uxn
<cr1901> Yes, that is uxn
<cr1901> and you make a 64kB struct by having one of the members be a char array w/ 65536 elements :)
<andlabs> "It was designed with an implementation-first mindset with the goal of targeting salvaged computers, the distribution of Uxn projects is akin to sharing game roms for any classic console emulator." ooh
<andlabs> huh this seems like something suitable for its own machine
<NiGHTS> XXIIVV — roms
<andlabs> white black green and red?
<andlabs> what is this, a sinclair ql? =P
<andlabs> could probably prot this to the QL actually
<andlabs> > 256Middle-C pitched sample44,100 Hz
<andlabs> probably not
<cr1901> Tbf, I don't see a 286 port of that happening either :)
<andlabs> oh their inteprretation of "salvaged computers" is very different
<cr1901> salvaged computers here is more of a catch-all term for "what happens if we have to start over from toggling front panel switches"? At least my interpretation
<andlabs> yeah
<andlabs> my first question in this case is how would we even know if we still have any of these projects
<cr1901> Hopefully someone printed out copies and/or wrote the source code on paper :)
<andlabs> my second question is ooh can we guide computation to a better place if that happens? :3
<cr1901> Possibly...

<andlabs> my QL works perfectly but I do need to figure out how to archive microdrive tapes or write images from my main computer or something
<andlabs> I do need ot get the right video cable for my cpc6128 and fix the power supply on my bbc micro
<andlabs> and yes the QL does have an 8-color low-res mode
