@Judeau @stefanjl 2/2 It's not tied to NokturnFM cartridges (there's OPL2 variant too), supports other oses / OPL devices(https://bus-error.nokturnal.pl/Using%2BOPL%2Bsoundchips%2Bon%2BATARI%2BST), has simple player #atarist #opl3 #opl2 PR for ScummVM (right now there are only my custom builds, need to make proper Linux library distribution first) is on the way too and possibly in Hatari emulator via natfeats (, so you can use opl3 express for instance or something other if I finish proper drivers). Can't do much more...

1/2 @Judeau @stefanjl Because it is quite fresh. Well, adoption is quite poor to be honest in comparison to let's say c64 or Atari 8-bit (I don't have any influence on people), but I've open sourced library (C99, https://framagit.org/nokturnal/nfm), I've made docs about usage, which eases adding opl support along with player (it needs some more work as always). #atarist #opl3 #opl2

 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)...
NokturnFM preorders one week left

Just a little reminder that in less than a week preordering period for NokturnFM cartridges is coming to an end. So, if you would like to get one, then don’t hestitate to register interest by sending an e-mail to: [email protected] with subject “NokturnFM Preorder”.

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

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
