Starting to integrate midi playback in the engine.

Being text-based and cli-drivable means that it's pretty easy to point your favorite LLM at it. Using a lot of Claude I created Rust versions of the Adlib/SoundBlaster music drivers from Dune. They produce identical writes to the OPL sound chip as the original driver running in an emulator.

The Adlib Gold emulation is not complete (I just emulate the OPL3 chip with Nuked-OPL3, not the surround module.)

My 8086 disassembler is now far enough along to be usable for reverse engineering, by me at least.

It uses a text based project file for annotations, data and code labels, data types, etc.

I have yet to move all the labels over from the IDA project I've been using until now but here's the project file I've set up for Dune: https://thomas.fach-pedersen.net/dune/cryo-dune-3.7-cd-dncdprg.chani

Based on the project file, it produces this disassemby listing: https://thomas.fach-pedersen.net/dune/cryo-dune-3.7-cd-dncdprg.html

Three new albums showed up at the same time, now I gotta make room somewhere…

Handsome Boy Modelling School is a brilliantly creative hip-hop album from Dan the Automator and Prince Paul, the Super Hexagon OST by Chipzel is amazing pounding 8-bit music on an octagonal record, and the new album from newly formed Tomora, a collab by Tom Rowlands from The Chemical Brothers, in the running for my favorite band, and Aurora, who is music in human form.

ScummVM 2026.2.0 "Railmonicon" sees the light!

Three months have passed since the last release, and here we are again, with our new release approach. We are both worried and excited, but hope that in the current reality of the absence of pre-release testing, with more frequent releases, we will be able to deliver critical fixes faster.

Three months have passed, but the amount of new features is very noticeable!

I have created a quick Parisian edition of my OpenStreetMap overview for what streets are named after:
https://noms.findvej.dk/

Including a gender breakdown for arrondissements:
https://noms.findvej.dk/arrondissements/

Not everything has been marked up yet, and my import job skips a couple of streets for some reason (probably special kind of relation objects).

I'll probably create a route planner for Paris that avoids ways named after men soon.

What are places in Paris named after?
