I'm totally happy how it came out and can't wait to have it in public. That is why I'll attach my in depth explanation trailer instead of just the animated Radio Irrtum! logo.

Radio Irrtum! Chiptune Special Diesen Samstag, 06.07.2024, 20 Uhr auf Alex Berlin, in/um Berlin auf FM 91.0 MHz und DAB+ K7D + weltweit im Stream (s.o.). Brandaktuelle echte unverfälschte Chiptunes (kein Hall, keine extra Drums, keine extra Samples) auf alter Hardware der 80er, die auf deart absurde Weise durchgehacked wird (code only!), dass sie jetzt definitiv nicht mehr so klingt, wie ursprünglich gedacht – dafür aber major phunky! ;) Details auf englisch oben, Playlist + Sendemanuskript nach der Sendung hier drunter und wenn ich mir was wünschen darf: Euch als Zuhörer:innen obendrauf. Danke Euch und vielleicht bis zum Samstag Abend…

Blake PattersonHere in the middle of Twixmas, fiddling about with the things I fiddle about with during a work holiday, I've given thought to some of the particularly notable Christmases of my childhood. I suppose topping that list is Christmas 1982, when I received my first home computer -- a TI-99/4A.And that's when it all began. While I do presently have a nice '99 setup here in the Byte Cellar, some years back I found a place that would develop ancient camera film. I had a few Kodak "disc"s in a drawer, and as a reward for the effort, I uncovered full setup photos of that system at its most expanded state. <a href="https://bytecellar.com/2016/07/03/33-year-old-roll-of-film-offers-a-glimpse-of-my-vintage-computing-beginnings/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bytecellar.com/2016/07/03/33-year-old-roll-of-film-offers-a-glimpse-of-my-vintage-computing-beginnings/</a>I do wish I had taken more photos as I jumped, fickle, from platform to platform over the years...<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vintagecomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christmas</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/memories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memories</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TI99" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TI99</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/homecomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homecomputers</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/cameras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cameras</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Kodak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kodak</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/holiday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#holiday</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/twixmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#twixmas</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a>

I guess either a bad cable or connexion, or the LED monitor didn't properly recognise the signal. Slight issues with some keys on the keyboard not being recognised some times, but that might also be the cable / connector, or just dirty matrix inside.Don't really have the space atm to set it up permanently, so it's back in its original box again, but it was good to see it was still working fine!When I do set it up more permanently, I should resolder the voltage jumper to switch it from 220V to 240V so the power supply will run less hot. (Which means I should actually get a soldering iron some day...)<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSX</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nostalgia</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homecomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homecomputers</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/retrocomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputer</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retro</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/RetroComputingSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputingSunday</a>

For the MSX scene this often included reviews of software such as games, other disk magazines and (digital) music collections, as well as guides, game hints, music covers in <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/chiptune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chiptune</a> form, scene news, demos, <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/pixelArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelArt</a>, etc. All presented in a digital interface with nice graphics, animations, music and scrollers. ;) See for instance this overview of <a href="https://www.msx.org/wiki/FutureDisk_01" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FutureDisk 01</a> for an example of what you could expect on one.Who will be involved?MSX sceners such as <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/KoenDols" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KoenDols</a>, <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Jorito" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jorito</a> (who you might also know from <a href="https://ocremix.org/artist/14461/jorito" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">his involvement in OCRemix projects</a>), <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ParallaxMSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParallaxMSX</a> Pat, <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Hegega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hegega</a>, and <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Meits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meits</a>.Where to follow updates?The comments section of <a href="https://www.msx.org/news/software/en/2022-futuredisk-will-be-back-from-the-dead" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the FD2022 announcement on MSX.org</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/FutureDiskMSX" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FutureDisk@Twitter.com</a> are probably a good place to start.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MSX2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSX2</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/diskzines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diskzines</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/retroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroGaming</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homecomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homecomputers</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/retroComputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroComputers</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#z80</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#8bit</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/chiptunes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chiptunes</a>
