Last week I've finished batch of NokturnFM2 and NokturnFM3 sound cartridges. Will start to pack them next week and move on to handle international preorders. After sending parcels I will be able to focus more on software side. I've donated four of them to next week's SV2025 WE Atari demo party (https://sillyventure.eu) in Gdansk,Poland, so anyone participating in Atari 16/32 bit competitions will have a chance to win one. #atarist #atarifalcon030 #opl2 #opl3 #ymf262 #YM3812
NokturnFM cartridges preorder has ended, thank you for everyone who preordered one. Now I'm entering preproduction phase figuring out updated production costs, so stay tuned... #atarist #opl3 #opl2 #nokturnFM
NokturnFM cartridges (sound expansion) preorders end in a week (10.10.2025).. #atarist #YM3812 #YM262-M #opl2 #opl3 If you want to get one, it's time! https://nokturnal.pl/posts/nokturnfm_preorders_one_week_left. Unfortunately due to US tarrifs by mr. Orange sending anything to US and Canada is not possible (still you can register interest, but sending parcel will be suspended until situation clears out)...

I would like to inform that I've started collecting preorders for NokturnFM2 / NokturnFM3 cartridges. NokturnFM2 and NokturnFM3 are Atari ST (and compatible) sound cartridges equipped with OPL2 (YM3812) and OPL3 (YMF262-M) soundchips enabling FM sound synthesis capabilities with minimal cpu overhead. More details can be found find in official announcement (https://nokturnal.pl/posts/nokturnfm_preorders). #atarist #opl2 #opl3 #NokturnFM #YM3812 #YMF262-M
NokturnFM preorder announcement

I would like to inform that preorders for NokturnFM2 and NokturnFM3 has started. Firstly I would like to check interest to make informed decisions about quantity of carts to produce. NokturnFM2 and NokturnFM3 are Atari ST (and compatible) sound cartridges equipped with OPL2 (YM3812) and OPL3 (YMF262-M) soundchips enabling FM sound synthesis capabilities with minimal cpu overhead - for more detailed info please check official NokturnFM page).

I've wrote a post about API/driver interface I've designed and implemented for making various devices equipped with OPL soundchip (responsible for that AdLib / SoundBlaster specific sound in old PC games) talk with SCUMMVM on Atari Falcon 030 (,but not only) and little bit about development itself. Some of it was already posted on Atari Forum / YT. https://nokturnal.pl/2025/07/nokturnfm-goes-scummvm #atari #scummvm #atarifalcon030 #atarifalcon #ct60 #retrocomputing #software_development #nokturnfm2 #nokturnfm3 #opl3 #opl2

Spend several days on hooking up and testing my OPL2/3 backend (FMlib) and integrated it with SCUMMVM to allow AdLib emulation via real Yamaha OPL soundchips (like those found in my NokturnFM cartridges) on 16/32 bit Atari's. I've recorded some footage directly from hardware (unfortunately video is a garbage from composite output, couldn't grab it the other way ;(, but on RGB monitor it looks awesome). #atarifalcon030 #OPL2 #scummvm #ct60 #NokturnFM #atari
#nokturnfm2 #nokturnfm3 #opl2 #opl3 #atarist i've assembled new pcbs and put them into shells for a first time. I've misplaced reset button hole in opl3 version of course, will fix it in next iteration. Several screws are too long in fm3 version, need to trim them down few millimeters, but it's not visible..
#nokturnfm2 #nokturnfm3 #opl2 #opl3 #atarist i've finished cartridge shells. And i've made some tests with pcbs and screws to see if everything fits. I will probably add either label and/or bezel cart name on top, maybe some minor tweaks will be needed. So, now i need to solder new pcb versions and assemble the whole thing.. 😛
