Music on game cartridges
Added 2019-08-30 12:09:22 +0000 UTCI'm still not back to my usual level of ill health yet - but after regaining some hearing I've managed to edit together this project that's been sitting around on my hard drive for months.
You'll understand why I've been pushing it to the back of the queue - it's not the most enthralling topic, however I was just glad to be able to get something finished.
Once I'm back to normal I'll put together another Patreon update.
UPDATE:
I’ve changed the end of the video as I hadn’t adequately explained my requirements for a stand alone video visualiser on my first attempt. I also reworded the section about the Redeye audio content match to emphasise that this probably wasn’t their intention - it’s just automated nonsense.
Comments
Yes it/they didn’t really float my boat, but apparently it’s helped drive sales of both, so someone out there liked what they saw, which makes me happy.

2019-09-05 00:00:08 +0000 UTCThe thing I was thinking of was a video visualiser. Just like you got on many of the old CD games consoles, Jaguar, Xbox, PSOne, also Milkdrop, VLM, iTunes Visualiser, Atari VideoMusic etc - these all generate interesting patterns that react to the audio. Spectrum analysers and oscilloscopes aren’t the same thing- there’s no artistry involved.

2019-09-03 08:31:32 +0000 UTCI was wrong, it looks like both the line-in and speaker output jacks are stereo. https://i.imgur.com/X2CIvCY.png Only slight issue is getting video out of it, because I'm not sure yet if the original DAC pins are used for other things. It would probably require a minor modification to hook up the jack for composite output, though. (the ESP32-A1S module is the combination of an ESP32 and "Codec AC101" chip in one, hence why the module is longer. It adds proper audio DACs / ADCs alongside the original ones on the ESP32 chip.)
