I took a look at your github site and files.  How cool that you are
running your own BIOS!  I didn't realize that the Impulse Tracker
source code had become available.  I'll be looking at that for sure.

I was unable to view your Mastodon profile.

I've been spending more time in FreeDOS 1.3 lately myself.

I've been asking myself philosophical questions like: Which is simpler,
ASCII or UTF-8?  There is no right answer.  :>

What part of the world do you hail from?  I am on the USA west coast.
I thought i saw Japanese characters on your Mastodon page.  Are you
in Asia?

Once upon a time i was interested in game development.  A friend asked
for help making a PlayStation game, back before the PlayStation 2 came
out.  I read online that Sony's development kit used a DJGPP cross-
compiler on MS-DOS, so that motivated me to check out DJGPP.  I only
had slow dial-up Internet at home, so i downloaded the bits at the
office and at the University computer lab and brought them home on
floppies.  I was proficient at splitting and re-joining files.  I used
screen captures of SNES emulators to rip sprites and then i coded a
fully functional local multi-player party game with VGA graphics and
MOD music. I was pleased with how it turned out, but by that time the
PlayStation game project fizzled out.  It did give me a lot of practice
reading GNU TexInfo documentation and using GDB.
