- My first FPGA project. Homebrew CPU, FM synth and blitter with pixel shader support. 1st place in Revision 2012 Wild compo. Watch in 720p!
There's an error in the text at the beginning of the demo. It says that 128 KB of external RAM is used, but in fact 2 MB is used. Quite embarrassing, but there it is.

Enjoy! - Наука та технологія
I stumbled on this by accident, and know nothing about computers. All I can say is this is one of the best electronic songs I've ever heard. I played it like10 times already.
10 years later. Still good.
"My first FPGA project".... Mine was making an LED flash... Wow. Just wow.
Linus has too much talent, holy shit dude
Linus I find it incredible that you are able to do what entire demoscene groups did and still do, entirely on your own!
Most baffling though, is that you do it better than them all!
Man, watching this in fullscreen while laying on the couch in the middle of the night with headphones is trippy as fuck, it's awesome, and it kinda helps that my monitor is 27 inches and not far from my face.
I believe, Good Sir, that you just won the whole of the Internet and life itself.
Yes, he is also the 'M' at the end of the greetings part. Well spotted! =)
Still hard to wrap my head around how all these graphics and sounds fit into so little of chips and memory... great work!
one of the strength of your demos is to incorporate a great-catchy song.... :)
This demo is amazing, I can picture it in a Mega Man game -- not only that, but getting pumped up when I enter the level that plays it, and 10 years later searching for it on FutureTube and playing the soundtrack.
10 years passed, did you find your way back yet?
That music and those glowing letters. Holy crop.
I love the Symbolics keyboard, that's classy hardware man! And thank you for talking us through this fascinating experiment of yours!
That tune is so great! Linus, you are one very tallented musician and engineer!
no song topped this for 12 years
absolute truth, what a banger !!
Nice music, funny gfx effects.
Love the project, and especially love the Symbolics keyboard.
Your demos keep amazing me to no end! This demo, like your previous ones, will very likely be something I'll remember in a long time from now. :-) (BTW, you once helped me find alternative parts for the chiptune project board, it still runs great!)
The song is very catchy too, and that says a lot since I usually feel bitter about the 'typical' FM synth sound..
Keep up the amazing work man, that's all I can say! Your works of art will continue to contribute to keeping the demoscene going! :-D
Holy fuck, this is 11 years ago?
Where have i slept?
Awesome tune, awesome demo, awesome concept.
Great music and an entertaining array of graphics. I don't have to see the other entries to know why this one won. The others didn't have a chance.
Another awesome demo. I'm never unimpressed.
Congrats and thanks for sharing! I wonder what you could make using all 3 chips in tandem...
Someone sold you an FPGA knowing what you can do with a little atmega?!
WOOOOW! I learned and really much like assembly and anything low level, this is real skill! Keep it up!
That's really cool! Looking forward to reading the details.
If you don't go down in history books as one of the coolest geeks ever, there is no justice in the world. Amazing.
These LSD like visuals are too dank for me
Hard to find words to describe this!
LFT is a hero.
This demo is wonderful, a great piece of ART!
The ending is very sexy. Great melodies/chord movements! I was much more impressed by that than the homebrew aspect of it. : P
You've blown my mind once again
The heatmap at the greetings is nice!
Wow this demo is very impressive thank you, nice music and video effects.
I used to make demos on C64 and Amiga 30 years ago, but this makes me think I should have spent my time with something else, not computers... This is f***** amazing!
Toby Fox: alright I'm going to take this entire video and make it a powerful videogame villain
this song makes me happy.
Absolutely awesome!
Really cool.
Btw, I love FM music. Is this FM synth that you used in this project cusom made or does it clone some Yamaha's architecture?
Afaik, custom, and nobody haven't managed to emulate it to do oscilloscope view
@@ltva8781 watch me
@@memes_gbc674 you haven't made an oscilloscope visualization. Bonk. Clickbait maker.
@@ltva8781 yet, i didn't even imply that i did yet
@@memes_gbc674 from context of this thread I summarized that, maybe, you have done it. Although you haven't. Then why ypu said that I should watch your channel? You haven't made even one traditional oscilloscope visualization of anything.
I enjoy you skills! They are extraordinary. Keep it up :)
[ ] is my favorite anime.
So good demo!! Genious!
What a boss! great work
Wooooooh..... You are one of the best computer engineers i have ever seen... Hardware and software, it seems to be no problem for you. Do you do anytning serieus with your skills, like a job or something?
Awesome in every way.
awesome man. How ever atleast i would like too see some making of videos!
absolutely amazing, thank you!
beautiful song too, I might add.
Cool demo!
Impressive... Very nice.
This is fascinating!
Very impressive!
awesome as always
Thanks Linus and thanks Jeri Ellsworth :)
This is just great. Graphics have sort of an amiga feel to them while music is quite unique. I do sort of feel that transitions between effects and colorschemes could have been more tought out and tweaked to get a more complete feel for the demo. But it's a great demo anyway.
Wonderful work. It may be 8 bit, but they are spent wisely :-) I like this.
Jack Tramiel the creator of C64 died 2 days ago.
We wouldnt have this awesome video without him :)
5:55 That is very cool =)
Pure awesomeness
He did what? Shaders on what? C64 motherboard? SHADERS? O_O
C-One. But holy cow, I thought he just meant it COULD do C64, not that it is. I thought it was a purely FPGA demo, it is a Wild prod..
I'm speechless!
Impressive work. Really loving the FM sound :D You don't hear that sort of sound much these days.
Have you based the CPU on an existing instruction set or have you made up your own?
I wish I was this cool.
Wow, just wow...
BTW, he is using a vintage Symbolics "Space Cadet" keyboard, a serious collector's item.
2mb ?!?! you my friend are a ledgend. incredible code and skill i wish i could kiss your head my friend
I'd like to hear this song on vintage synths complete with reverb and stuff, would be dope!
This is freakin amazing!!! some real nerd shit right there... mand remind me all of my COntra III night right in the childhood
your demo scene videos got me into seeing other videos and now i really wanna get into it P: I hope I'm not too dumb to grasp it... maybe one day I'll have my own fan, even if its just one lol
hows it going
@@DonutDev I was too dumb to grasp it XD aaaahaha what a comment to come revive, I've been doing good studying horticulture and mycology though! Would love to try again one day actually as programming and demoing is still super cool and inspiring but so hard for me to understand :P
You are a genius you know that?
That was intense.
Yep! The raw AVI is 60fps and it's a big difference.
You are amazing.
dude
I NEED to see what you can do with an entire Commodore One.
awesome! you are a genious!
***** thank you for your preciUs grammar fix!
This is insane! I wish I was as smart as you. Any chance we could get the music in your original custom tracker format along with the tracker? Considering doing a cover of this and some of the notes are a bit difficult to transcribe.
awesome music:D
I would love to see how your shader stuff works.. I'm trying to construct a decent 2D gpu for a homebrew machine.
Fan, du är Grym!
man some of this reminds me of keygens I've used, like Razor 1911's stuff.
awesome.
You look like my high school biology/geology teacher. Had to say it.
3:52
Whoa, a pre-rendered Julia, now that nice
3:56
SAI WHAT
Knowing you, your player routine also doesn't behave like average Joe's Protracker - instead kickdrum with bassline was too repetitve, so it got its own thread, just to save memory :D
Dude, your every production deserves to be exposed to milions!
This is great. How much time did it take you to make it? I also would like to make something like this, what books and websites can you recommend?
double dragon soundtrack, great job (I guess), now the question is: Will it Blend??
Nice !
Huge fan. I am an electrical engineer. Right now I am in lower division classes. I have a class coming up, which introduces circuit design and fpga is definitely part of the curriculum. Where did you gain most of your experience and proficiency? I hope to be able to tinker with hardware and do thinks like chip tuning like yourself. Is there anyway you could show me how you make the synthesizers for the chipophone? I just want to play two dual keyboards to recreate my childhood video game music.
This video is sick as f%ck!!
But congrats on FPGA-programming success!)
This is awesome but I spent the whole video trying to figure out whether or not you're a priest
Is it possible to make it in PCI form-factor? As TV-tuner or something? With available /dev/video0 interface and software keyboard controls as in virtual machines.
I know very little about the demoscene so I'd love some help if anyone can answer questions.
This is wildly impressive, I can tell that much, but it seems one could do much more with the given CPU and memory? Like, the Playstation 1 had a 38mhz CPU and 2mb RAM, so what's the difference here? I think I understand that the fpga is basically a handwritten CPU, but all of the documentation went right over my head.
Am I the only one that *always* thinks of Dr, Marvin Candle, the guy in the Lost Dharma Instruction videos, when seeing an LFT presentation? ;-) Linus, can you PLEASE say "Namaste" at the end of the next one? 8)))
so cool! how did you make that nice fm tune?
At 3:10 rainbows were flowing out of my mouth.
To his memory then!!!
Linus, do you write your own chiptune tracker software for these demo´s or do you use existing ones?
Mind = blown.
what tracker was used to make the FM track?
Well fucking done, respect.
Ah yes, manifold garden ending
What's up with you? You are god! Funky track btw.
freaking out in 1.....2....3..paralelogram
was this originaly disinged in 1990 or something?? amazing what they could do back then :O
