¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Completed the reverse-engineering of the Konami 053936 "3D" plane generator chip used by a bunch of GX games, which had several undocumented settings. One thing less to do ! github.com/furrtek/Sili...

I miss playing in the woods and building dams on small creeks

Konami Open Golf Championship "voxel" terrain height data. I'd work on the rendering chip if more games used it, and if I didn't swear 2025 was a finish-things-don't-start-anything-new year.

Published my Sharp gate array reverse-engineered cell library. JPGs are mugshots, PNGs are layout with IO locations and names: github.com/furrtek/Sili...

Selling Konami chips that I already have to recoup cost of a working sacrificial GX board: 2x 054539, 054338, 056879, 056766, 053246A, 054156, 055555 and 68EC020 CPU. All in perfect shape, ready to be used for repairs. 9€ each. 4€ tracked intl shipping for any number. PayPal only.

2025 will be my first "less time in Inkscape, more time in Scribus" year (Also less time on garbage X)

More (late) die shots, this time from 🐝 HuC6280: PC-Engine CPU & PSG siliconpr0n.org/map/hudson/h... HuC6260: PC-Engine VCE siliconpr0n.org/map/hudson/h... HuC6201: Ten No Koe 2 (not a whole lot going on in there) siliconpr0n.org/map/hudson/h...

HackRF TRF37B73 TX amp transplant is a success. Hopefully this one won't be as fragile.

*yotes your digital audio*

L'algo pour vérifier le caractère de contrôle sur les numéros de suivi 15 chiffres La Poste est connu ? Je trouve rien et légère flemme de creuser dans l'appli Android.

Went through a few more dies in the waiting line: Konami 053246: Sprites controller siliconpr0n.org/map/konami/0... Konami 053244A: Sprites controller siliconpr0n.org/map/konami/0... Namco 117: MMU siliconpr0n.org/map/namco/11... 1/3

Why I dislike tracing Toshiba gate arrays episode 57: This is an adder. It adds an 8 bit number with a 24 bit one. That's it. Nothing else.

Uploaded some new die shots: Konami 055555 layer mixer with alpha (and free hair) siliconpr0n.org/map/konami/0... Konami 055550 DMA/protection siliconpr0n.org/map/konami/0... Konami 056766 color processing and RGB DAC siliconpr0n.org/map/konami/0... 1/3

Help wanted for datasheet hunting ! Markings: Sunplus PU5165 Bonded pads: 43/44 Fully digital, no memory, very small, uses a 455kHz oscillator, suspected IO expander
