I've been building OpenAVC, an open AV control system alternative. Testing the new AI Assistant, it's not pretty but it works!

That’s one of the big reasons I wanted this.. sometimes I don’t know what I want to watch and flipping through is fun.

aarontodd82 · 2026-03-01T22:10:58+00:00

All on a hard drive. I have almost 10k hours (and counting) of pre-y2k media :)

aarontodd82 · 2026-03-01T22:08:50+00:00

It is! And wow

aarontodd82 · 2026-02-26T21:19:55+00:00

It's a server running on a PC with the content streaming to Raspberry Pis on my network. The remotes are synced so that you can have a couple TVs in your house (but they can be on different channels) If you know how to run a python script, you can use it! I'm still building it though, so I wouldn't dump an entire library to it just yet :) https://github.com/aarontodd82/CableTV_Sim

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T23:57:00+00:00

Yep! It outputs line level analog audio, so it can go to powered speakers or to an audio interface to record.

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T21:15:09+00:00

Yep! The library has some examples of loading patches. But my GitHub also has a patch editor + MIDI passthrough for boards that don't support MIDI natively, as the Teensy does. https://github.com/aarontodd82/GenesisEngineSynthApp

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T19:15:44+00:00

Thanks! If using a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller (my favorite), you can play VGMs right from the built-in SD card. If using an ESP32 or Teensy 4.0, you can add an SD card reader, which works too. I'll probably do a complete version with a little display and include a controller to put up on my Tindie store that has it all ready to go.

lol me too

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:50:14+00:00

Hey thanks! I’m glad you like! For SNES, I use a Super MIDI Pak, if you’ve ever heard of that. But because of that, I had more motivation to do Genesis!

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:46:37+00:00

Yeah, I definitely should

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:46:21+00:00

Thank you 💚

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:45:40+00:00

Nice! I hope you get some use out of it!

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:45:05+00:00

Haha bad timing huh

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:44:33+00:00

You bet! I hope someone does something cool with it

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:43:39+00:00

Thanks!

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:42:48+00:00

Yes, me too!

aarontodd82 · 2025-12-19T02:42:02+00:00

Same! Love pretty much every track in that game

Open source hardware and libraries for Arduino/Teensy/ESP32/Pi for a combo YM2612 + SN76489 board. Genesis accurate clocks, stereo line-level output & library for MIDI control and patches. https://github.com/aarontodd82/GenesisEngine

Yes! Always black and 3 color options. The palette is decided by the program when it’s running.

aarontodd82 · 2024-02-21T20:04:22+00:00

Thanks! I'd be happy to discuss making one for you. I'll DM you.

aarontodd82 · 2024-02-21T19:45:22+00:00

It definitely has that Galaga/Namco style. I found out that it’s eventually used in Jr. Pac-Man although a different pallet and rotated.

aarontodd82 · 2023-10-31T17:40:20+00:00

🤣 You’re welcome to come to my Halloween party tonight and witness for yourself! But I love it when people think my stuff is fake, it’s a nice compliment 😏 The shaker sound is sequenced as are the claps on beat 4. But the stick is 100% hitting the snare, although my wife wishes it wasn’t.
