It seems many #MSX musics have wrong pitch.

It is caused by bad ports from #CPC games. The Amstrad uses CLK/4 for the PSG (that is 1 MHz), while MSX computers have PSG clocked at CLK/2 (that is 3.57/2 = 1.78 MHz). This causes MSX musics to sound approximately 10 semitones higher than intended (-2 semitones due to the 4 vs 3.57 difference, and +12 semitones due to the extra clock division used in the #amstrad

I've just found this while helping Felix Espina fix the music of the game Coliseum.

Vous vous souvenez tous de cette fabuleuse série qu'était Supercopter, aussi connue sous le nom de Airwolf, avec son hélicoptère fabuleux ?

Et pour les plus geeks d'entre nous, de son adaptation sur Amstrad CPC, devenue légendaire pour sa difficulté tellement élevée que personne n'a pu finir le jeu.

Mais connaissez vous son horrible secret ?

C'est ce que vous découvrirez dans ce nouvel épisode de Génération Micros.

Pour la petite histoire, Supercopter pouvait même aller dans l'espace dans Airwolf 2 sur Amstrad, avec une musique digne de Bernard Minet. Si si, je vous jure !

A week ago, I posted a lengthy thread regarding my experiences at the #CPC #Calgary convention ( cosocial.ca/@mpjgregoire/11602 ). I have a few more general reflections on the state of #CanPol these days.

1. Alberta separatism is more serious than I had thought. I didn't run into anyone who supported it, but talking to Albertans inside and outside the convention, they tell me that there's a lot of popular discontent these days about how Canada treats Alberta. (I oppose AB and QC separatism.)

Shocking that the Conservatives would misrepresent the truth in order to grandstand on a hot-button issue. /s

“One legal expert questioned the value of the proposed changes, and noted that people found guilty of serious crimes can already be barred from attaining refugee status under Canada’s immigration law.

“This is not really about solving a real problem,” said University of Toronto law professor Audrey Macklin. “This is about sending some kind of get tough message.”

That said, about 13% of delegates voted non-confidence, so support is not unanimous. I ran into delegates who lamented that people they knew who'd always supported the Conservatives wouldn't vote for the party with Mr. Poilievre as leader.

5. #PierrePoilievre. Members of the #CPC like him personally, like where he stands on issues, like the way he's a fighter, like the way he's brought new support into the party. I ran into one guy who said that he'd be another Robert Stanfield, someone who'd be an excellent PM but who would never win. But I didn't run into anyone who'd admit to opposing Mr. Poilievre; there was no one organising against him; there were not even anti-Poilievre buttons around.

Some notes about the #CPC 2026 Calgary Convention. #CanPol #cdnpoli #Conservative #Tory :

1. The ex-MP pointed to me: "You're abnormal", and he pointed to my left: "You're abnormal", then "And he's abnormal", and "I'm abnormal." We are all people who enjoy sitting around over lunch and discussing relations with the PRC.

Imagine that you have a niche interest, F1, let's say. Every morning, you check the news about F1, you listen to podcasts about it, you read essays about it. (cont'd)

*Update:* I watched the #PaikinPodcast today; apparently someone makes a joke like that every time a new PM portrait is unveiled.

"“As Canadians, we’ve been understandably shocked, bewildered and angry,” Harper told the crowd. He said while it was understandable to have such feelings, he urged rational minds to prevail, saying the American people had chosen the administration to represent their interests. [...] Harper then added: “The question for Canada is not how we feel about what the U.S. is doing. It is how will we adapt.”"
