I just finished a patch for Tlon: A Misty Story: sonneveld.dev/tlon/ It's a 1999 point and click adventure game that's notorious for being incompletable due to a bug. There are save game hacks but this is a proper fix with correct exits and everything. Try it out and let me know how you go!

Do I know anyone who owns a “new” MT-32 or CM-32L who could help me test something? I want to compare behaviour with my “old” MT-32. Real hardware only please.

For over a decade I've been wondering what this freaking font is, because I kept constantly seeing it in Japanese gaming media from the 80s and 90s. It wasn't until in recent years when I discovered that the font is called Tankoin AL-KL (淡古印 AL-KL) and it was made by Shaken (写研) in 1979.

macOS Mojave (the last 32-bit one) runs fine in qemu on linux, if you can suffer through the installation and updates for a few hours. Reaper audio playback seems to work fine, not even doing any hardware passthrough for video or audio. Resurrecting some old music projects from a 2014 macbook.
