I ended up buying one, quite happy with it so far! (Haven't Rockboxed it yet, expecting it to be even better then).
Only real issue so far was one case of it deciding to blast music through its speaker while a wired headset was also connected and playing. Sharing is caring. 😆
Scenic view of a lake, seen from a pack raft out on the water. Front of pack raft, with a couple of fishing rods is visible at the bottom of the photo.
Dark night view of a camp site by a lake, with the moon above.
Morning view of lake and campsite, as seen from my hammock when I woke up (but that bit's not apparent from the photo, that's just between us alt-text readers).
So, did I stay at home this weekend and get started on some of my coding projects, like I intended?
I most definitely did not!
Ooh, and it's got my old baby Mali-400 inside! (Totally irrelevant for any of its use cases, but still!)

Also, I can smell those offices. :D

We repeatedly told Henning and Hans, "det holder!" but they just won't listen. 🙉 So, by unpopular demand – expect silly kicks, stupid samples, pointless breaks, and preposterous mixing. If you are not convinced yet, listen to tiny.cc/yyon001 Henning & Hans spiller opp til dans!

Still some time left before it reaches equipment I actually use.

I retract the "Note sure..." but. For reasonably sized polys and a decent amount of overdraw it should absolutely be worth it. :D
01.04.2025 06:59 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yeah, seems like a variant of c-buffer / coverage buffer (if I remember the terminology correctly).
Not sure if it's worth the extra overhead just for the basic texturemapping in the screenshot, but "I'm sure they profiled it" :).
Could definitely be worthwhile for more complex per-pixel work.
I got this inexplicable urge to point out that I watched The lair of the white worm yesterday.

"Someone" learnt, right before the deadline, about the slower chip mem access of an A4000. The obvious fix was to render less on anything but a vanilla A1200. 🫠
I agree, might be a combination of both the source material and bitplane blending.

Well, doing the scaling quickly enough ain't bad - and I might of course be completely mistaken about what's going on there. 😅
Btw, there was a 40k intro at The Gathering 94 which used a very similar-looking upscaler: demozoo.org/productions/...
I'm not sure, but I suspect the image compression is fixed-rate, "just" rescaling 72x56 3bpp -> 288x224 4bpp. Possibly with blitter-assisted interpolation.

It hasn’t been officially announced yet, but.. I’ve signed on to chair real-time live for Siggraph Asia 2025 in Hong Kong! I look forward to picking up the mantle from so many great people before me, and to lead what I aim to make a great program!
Yes, this means I’ll be asking for submissions :)

The text "Greetings to H7", rendered with the Topaz font on the distinctive blue background of the Amiga kickstart 1.2 / 1.3 workbench.
Indeed they do!

A colourful collage of 15 screenshots from various demoscene productions made for Amiga computers.
Hi! I sometimes code demos for old computers, preferably Amiga 500 (although I also dabble in higher-specced Amigas and C64).
These are some things I've made.
(Others may include horribly mutated dancing moose, psychedelic birds from Norwegian children's shows, or worse.)
