Few month ago, I’ve discovered the marvelous world of MOOC and was looking for a fun course to take. Finally I found one on EdX: UT.6.01x Embedded Systems – Shape the World brought to us by the professor Jonathan Valvano and professor Ramesh Yerraballi.
Not that I really need to take such a course on embedded system as it is both my hobby and my job, but I always like to learn new things, and this could be fun. And it was 🙂
Hello everyone 🙂
After my previous post on Arduino an AY-3-3910 / YM2149 a lots of people complain that I didn’t deliver the code for the playing with a YM/AY chip with an Arduino, WITHOUT using any external hardware especially not a quartz 🙂
I know that lots of people complain the first time that I didn’t deliver the code for the playing with a YM/AY chip with an Arduino, WITHOUT using any external hardware especially not a quartz 🙂
I told at the time that I won’t deliver until I made a YM player.
Well I didn’t do a YM player. Sorry to tell that.
As I am working on the Replic’Oric project, the second step (and what will become the StratoCumulus) become clearer and clearer and the most important changes is the add for a “recolouring” overlay mechanism.
This blog entry is the first documentation on what will become this new display mode. Both The “New Oric” and the StratoCumulus will provide it.

Hi there!
I’m proud to announce the third 986-Studio project: The Replic’Oric!
I am still looking for swan parts! Don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you have something you want to give!
This article give a lot of not well known informations about the Nintendo Dolphin Project genesis, known as the Nintendo GameCube. It is really well documented, and mostly impartial:

I’m searching for dead WonderSwan (when I say dead I mean really non working unit) whatever the version it is (B&W, Color, Crystal), to be able to go further on my project, if you have one that you want to give, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment, I will contact you back to define where to send it 🙂
A color/crystal with a non broken screen will be a plus, but it’s not that important.
The goal it to get the cart connector from the device, and try to transform the device as an emulator remote for a future project…
Thank you in advance for you help 🙂
Yes really, this blog had not been updated for a while, because I moved and didn’t had a lot of time to work on my projects.
Anyway, the Bandai chip analysis is still under the way, and there is more to come on the WonderSwan itself!
Hi folks!
I just post here a simple update on the hardware definition of the Bandai2001 / Bandai2003 due to new thing found about them 🙂

Today it’s the start of the RGC’s AC2013 a French convention of retro computing.
This year will be a great convention as there is a lot of new release and desmonstration, like SCPCD’s JagCF, the release of the Jaguar version if Orion_’s Elansar, etc..
Like each year there is a Speed Coding Compo, in which I participate, and I’m anger too see what the other team will be able to so this year with the imposed theme.
I will made my game on the Bandai’s WonderSwan using the WonderWitch cardridge. I hope to work with my own DevCart next time.
In exclusivity, for you the readers of my blog, I’ll give you he name of my project: こびつざに – Kobit Zany (name subject to change. Or maybe not :D)
I really hope that there will not be any Harlem Shake or other meme like this this year 😉
See you soon !
PS: As I am on my phone, it is difficult to add links to other pages, and there could be some writing errors. I will update and correct this post later, please forgive me about this.
* “Trou Paumé” is a french expression that can be literally translated to something like “Lost Hole” and is really meaning “Middle of Nowhere”
