There were already 64 "hardware sprites" in the #F256 platform from #Foenix, but now, there are 128 for this new extra F256K2 core that also doubles the MHz from 6 to 12.

Well, I did it. Bad Apple on the #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems.

80x60 text mode, 20 fps, native mp3 playback with its VS1053b onboard chip. all in glorious 8-bit 6502 mode.

Never knew how to do a "Bad Apple" implementation, so I sat down, and learned by doing it!

Ernesto, the superbasic master, is at it again with this now completed gamejam entry for the #Foenix systems. A ps/2 mouse-driven remake of that game we saw on every platform in the late 80's - early 90's: Shanghai. Once again proving you don't NEED 6502 assembly to get something DONE.

a FireJam example, my programming project for #F256K2 from #Foenix. This iconic OPL2 tune from Ultima Underworld has the bell instrument autoplaying the background, and I play its bass over it in real time. See my replies to this thread to see other instruments layered in, MIDI and SID! 1/3 🧵

I received my K2 enclosure to go with my K2 board - it now uses optical switches to dramatically reduce fabrication time!
#F256K2 #Foenix
the K2 normally comes assembled, but I got an early Oct 2024 board that I could use with the original K's case. video of the K2 board going to its case soon!

Cool port of #Ultima III nearing 100% for the #Foenix series (F256K, etc) made by Minstrel Dragon that showcases SID music and uses tilesets from Ultima V because it looks better

oops, this is the real link I meant to share last night

MIDI has been on my mind since at least May of 2024. Here's a recap of the timeline of things I've accomplished:

New #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems has MIDI in and out support - good use case for the MIDI selector I designed recently. I can switch between a 25-key portable keytar or a full 88-key controller from m-audio. I've got *plans* for the F256K2...

My Game Jam entry is done, programmed in C, meant for #F256K, K2, Jr. or Jr.2 from #Foenix Retro Systems. Supports simple PSG sound for the older machines, but MIDI for the newer as well.
I will port this to 68k macs in time!

Michael White demoed his MIDI real time diagnostic program (with MIDI in and MIDI out) running on a modded F256Jr that used a SAM2695 dream wavetable, since all of this will be standard features on the upcoming F256K2, at VCF MW 19 a few days ago. #Foenix #F256K2 #MIDI #VCFMW

Just got these banana-to-dupont cables. I'm too invested in Dupont connectivity to go somewhere else for all my small electronics power needs!
I have Dupont-to-:
-barrel jack
-micro-USB

#F256K #Foenix you know what's cooler than a modern made amazing 6502 based machine with opl/sid/psg and up to 10 game controller support at once? A freaking 48h Game Jam with a handful committed wonderful people who will be at it this upcoming weekend! I'll keep you updated with the results!

I made a new video detailing why and how to install wifi to a F256K from Foenix Retro Systems, from config to soldering. There are online multiplayer projects in the works. Appreciate a reshare to spread awareness of it!
