What’s next for Ess / Fors?

wow! fire!

It was a really great night! Much more people than I expected showed up, so I feel like we could do more and bigger events in the future. Chiptune is back, folks!

… And there’s a bit of a hint there in my set on what’s to come too :grin:

FMS is a groovebox for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console. Its focus lies on quick and intuitive programming of sounds and music, for live performance and studio recording - or just having fun.

Lo-Bit Club is a project of the Fors Lab - our extracurricular activities for anything outside of the computer.

I wonder if this would work on a DS with a flash cart that uses the GBA slot…

Yeah, DS and DS Lite runs GBA carts natively - will work just fine! :slightly_smiling_face:

DSi and 3DS would need some sort of softmod, but will also work.

Really kind of just runs on anything haha.

Damn, way to remind me of how I used to have a GBA which my parents got me in like 2002, and then for some reason it just vanished when we moved in 2008. Same thing happened to my GameCube and DS Lite, actually. :cry:

sick :slightly_smiling_face:

Classy :clap:

I love the shear masochism if nothing else of developing new software for legacy platforms. I had a friend who was obsessed with accessing the modern web on things like BBC Micros and ZX Spectrums. RSS and Twitter feeds, that kind of thing. The last I heard of him he was deep, deep down a rabbit hole labeled: JavaScript to 6502 assembly cross-complier. Madness :laughing:

Running nicely on a Powkiddy V10 with ArkOS, ideal with its GBA correct screen ratio. Shame the speaker is crap, not tried headphones yet.

Not had a reason to bust out the ds for years!
Half a sleep and no idea what I’m doing :grimacing:
