I have my own example video from a few months ago youtu.be/SGnbr5O1Wa0

This video is sponsored by PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com/ PC Gameport Party lets you connect 2 joystick, a MIDI Out device (usually a MIDI Synth) and a MIDI In device (usually a MIDI keyboard) all at the same time!

PC Gameport party reviewee by none other than Phil's computer lab! Very neat! I launched this project last year but revised it recently.

a program screenshot of a program called "OPL3 Snooper", "created by Mu0n, November 2025 v0.4". It's mostly a bunch of hex numbers besides 18 channels marked by lines from CH00 to CH17. There's a piano keys graphic at the bottom and some text UI functions highlighted in blue like "Quit, Load, Info in real time and Pause and Snoop!"

coded in C
plays VGM files with opl2/3
can pause, test instruments up to 18 notes w/ MIDI in
running on a K2 from wildBits Computing Company

I could do the same with MT-32 and General MIDI tracks, but I spent energy on this classic fm synth sweetness!

This is an announcement video where I talk about the sale of the F256x Assets to a new company where it is going to thrive and for me to explain some of the reasons why it happened. Foenix Retro Systems is Splitting into 2 Entities - Here is why!

Foenix Retro Systems splits!
The 8 & 16 bit assets and IP are sold to a new company called 'Wildbits computing company' headed by Aleksey
while the 32-bit 68k stuff will live on in a new 'Foenix Labs' still headed by Stefany Allaire.

Here's an announcement video.

Dear friends, it is time to get HYPE

"PICOIDE for IDE EMULATION" in the style of the iconic "ZOHRAN for NEW YORK CITY" campaign sign

coming soon 😉 - picoide.com

Thumbnail with white background, a pickaxe icon resting against a sound wave icon. The logos for OPL3 and MOS are sitting above the wave.

NEW VIDEO is up, about 2 programs that help me dig for new sounds. Uses MIDI in, drives a dual SID or a YMF262 (opl3) on my F256K2.

The randomizer function is really fun and can land on some sweet sounds!

Another from eastern Canada you should definitely check out is P'tit Béliveau.

wild that you know this artist from New Brunswick. I enjoy her stuff.

above: a pc gameport party, a breakout PCB in black with joystick and MIDI sockets. The switch and the diode are SMD, the rest are through-hole components. below: same, but under a new revision where everything is a through hole component. the switch that toggles between 1 and 2 player mode is notably chunkier.

I was asked to do a revision with through-hole only components for the PC Gameport Party, I obliged. Exact same functionality, and today I made extra crispy sure it would work by assembling a unit. All tests pass!

picoGUS will be able to route your notes through its midi out, but it doesn't have a midi in unfortunately. Also, its joystick is through a USB thingy so it wouldn't accommodate the legacy pinouts of a real game port.

You can still play with your typing keyboard though. There's a bit over 2 octaves

Guys. I have one left. Just got it back from Adrian Black.

One last time. If you’re interested in one, we’ll be listing it soon on our new storefront!

let me know how it goes - it's not extensively tested rough version, bugs are likely! It already chokes a bit (with the typing keyboard) on my 486DX2/66, but behaves well with the midi in controller

* can take in regular keyboard playing (qwerty...] = white notes, etc)
* generate a random OPL2 instrument for you to dig and test out its * values (I use that to find new interesting sounds for other projects)

I made a new MSDOS utility, the MIDI Sniffer:

* takes in MIDI in
* reroutes to: MIDI out, PC Speaker, or OPL2
* supports polyphony

or do like me, hedge your bets with retro programming in addition to hardware :)

a MIDI keyboard is in the back, several vintage Gravis PC joystick and gamepads are on the front. A PC Gameport breakout PCB board is in the center with several cables plugged into it. The words "Let's party" in red, outlined in yellow and against a green splash graphic complete the scene.

NEW VIDEO IS OUT: it explains everything about my PC Gameport Party PCB I designed last year.

All the use cases scenarios I had in mind, including the ones that combo with the MIDI selectors I also designed.
