I think the Soundscape has one of the best wavetables, and the font makes a good job in reproducing that. Sure, I am a biased judge since the SC600 was my first soundcard, but listen to the… ## [The making of Don Matrelli’s Legacy. Part IV: putting it all together](https://marnetto.net/2026/08/02/dml-making-of-4) _2026-08-02 · Alberto Marnetto · Annali da Samarcanda_ In the past episodes we have seen how Grand Prix Circuit (GPC) was partly reverse-engineered , and how to build new tracks and cars . All the main components of my GPC mod have been described: for the final phases of the building process I’ll return to a more diaristic form. The launch vehicle Already from the start of the project I needed a practical method to inject the new data into the game:… ## [The making of Don Matrelli’s Legacy. Part III: cars and opponents](https://marnetto.net/2026/07/29/dml-making-of-3) _2026-07-29 · Alberto Marnetto · Annali da Samarcanda_ The story so far: we have broken into the assets of Grand Prix Circuit (GPC) and built new raceways . It's now the time to design the men and machines that will drive on these tracks. Trackbuilding was a marathon, but I have good news: tweaking cars and adversaries is much easier and faster. So fast, actually, that my fellow modder Ryoma has already used these investigations to build his own GPC… ## [The making of Don Matrelli’s Legacy. Part II: trackbuilding](https://marnetto.net/2026/07/25/dml-making-of-2) _2026-07-25 · Alberto Marnetto · Annali da Samarcanda_ The story so far: in the past episode , the asset formats of Grand Prix Circuit (GPC) have been reverse engineered. Our hero, just like Ben Sulayem, is now planning to meddle with the season calendar and replace some tracks with others of his liking. I am embarassed to admit it, but I know the shape of some F1 tracks only because of Grand Prix Circuit ’s minimaps. Building a mod was the occasion… ## [The making of Don Matrelli’s Legacy, a mod for Grand Prix Circuit](https://marnetto.net/2026/07/18/dml-making-of-1) _2026-07-18 · Alberto Marnetto · Annali da Samarcanda_ Some weeks ago I released an expansion for the only Formula 1 game I ever liked: Grand Prix Circuit (GPC), a 38-year-old work by Distinctive Software 1 . This project was by far my most ambitious to date: it took more than two months and required learning the basics of many disciplines, but I’m very satisfied of how it turned out. This post series will tell how this mod, Don Matrelli’s Legacy ,… ## [Release announcement: Don Matrelli's Legacy](https://marnetto.net/2026/06/21/don-matrelli-legacy) _2026-06-21 · Alberto Marnetto · Annali da Samarcanda_ Dear readers, I am happy to announce the release of Don Matrelli’s Legacy . It is a mod for Grand Prix Circuit (DSI / Accolade, 1988), one of the best motor racing games available for DOS before Geoff Crammond entered the scene. The expansion features: Three new tracks Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps Baku City Circuit The Möbius Space Dragster Track Three new cars Rivella, with great maneuvrability… ## [Vibe-exploring Stunt Island](https://marnetto.net/2026/04/26/vibe-exploring-si) _2026-04-26 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [SuperSight 2.1 release announcement](https://marnetto.net/2026/03/21/supersight-2.1) _2026-03-21 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Aids Info Disk: a playthrough of the first ransomware](https://marnetto.net/2026/03/14/aids-info-disk) _2026-03-14 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [How to synthesize a bold font (updated)](https://marnetto.net/2026/03/06/synthesized-bold) _2026-03-09 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Snapshot Showdown on Google Play (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/At0IBA1MC5wj) _2026-03-08 · **Sponsored**_ Available on Google Play for Android devices. ## [Reverse engineering “Hello World” in QuickBasic 3.0: bloat & bytecode from 1987 AD](https://marnetto.net/2026/03/01/brun-hello-world) _2026-03-01 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Reprint: “Why, oh WHY, do those #?@! nutheads use vi?”](https://marnetto.net/2026/02/27/use-vi) _2026-02-27 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Two small updates, part 2: Camel Trophy Game](https://marnetto.net/2026/01/27/camel-trophy) _2026-01-27 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Two small updates, part 1: SuperSight 2.0](https://marnetto.net/2026/01/27/supersight-2) _2026-01-27 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [TTT in Detail: the techniques behind a ZX Spectrum retrogame](https://marnetto.net/2026/01/10/ttt-in-detail) _2026-01-10 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [A lost game and other curiosities from a 1989 IBM PC floppy](https://marnetto.net/2025/08/21/rps) _2025-08-21 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [SuperSight: a graphical enhancement mod for Brøderbund's Stunts (part III)](https://marnetto.net/2025/08/13/broderbund-stunts-3) _2025-08-13 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [SuperSight: a graphical enhancement mod for Brøderbund's Stunts (part II)](https://marnetto.net/2025/08/08/broderbund-stunts-2) _2025-08-08 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Adjusting Qt apps’ style and behavior via command line parameters (bonus: extra styling for Dolphin)](https://marnetto.net/2025/03/30/qt-apps-parameters) _2025-03-30 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Stunts modification projects (update: links added)](https://marnetto.net/projects/stunts) _2025-03-01 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Meet Claude, an AI assistant (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/bNO7kfvjXcRu) _2025-02-28 · **Sponsored**_ Chat with Claude at claude.ai — a conversational AI assistant. ## [SuperSight: a graphical enhancement mod for Brøderbund's Stunts (part I)](https://marnetto.net/2025/02/20/broderbund-stunts-1) _2025-02-20 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [How to ruin your site reputation in two easy steps (part II)](https://marnetto.net/2025/02/06/ruining-ranking-part-2) _2025-02-06 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [How to ruin your site reputation in two easy steps (part I)](https://marnetto.net/2025/02/06/ruining-ranking-part-1) _2025-02-06 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [Windows 95 and a Bizarre Case of Font Drag and Drop](https://marnetto.net/2025/01/12/2025-01-12-windows-95-fonts) _2025-01-12 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [The Big Map of Cologne Parking Meters / Die große Karte der Kölner Parkscheinautomaten](https://marnetto.net/2024/12/20/cologne-parking-meters) _2024-12-20 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [800% Detail: Tweaking Stunt Island’s 30-year-old 3D Engine](https://marnetto.net/2024/11/20/tweaking-stunt-island) _2024-11-28 · Annali da Samarcanda_ ## [An Elegy to Stunt Island](https://marnetto.net/2024/11/15/stunt-island-elegy) _2024-11-15 · Annali da Samarcanda_
