I could not figure out a way to convert multitrack bin/cue (#FMTowns CD images) to CCD/IMG/SUB on Linux. After toying around with various tools, I finally submitted to Windows to try. What works: Mount bin/cue with Alcohol 120%, then export using UltraISO to CCD/IMG/SUB
-> resulting image works on the #DocBrown, incl audio tracks.
Is there some easy way to do multitrack BIN/CUE to CCD/IMG/SUB conversion on Linux that i have missed? Boosts welcome.
caius, awesome hardware producer, announced a 2- > 4MB memory expansion for #FMTowns #Marty. Super Street Fighter 2 now runs on the platform 🙂

very curious to try the 700GB BLOOM large language model (after it all downloads finally). Amazing times we live in when you can afford 10GB GPUs and some TB of fast storage to run this locally. #ai

I am bringing out my SX-64 and we are going to go on an Artificial Intelligence adventure on #ChickenHeadChronicles soon!
