Close to being done with my 2 custom menu systems for my wildbitsK2 (fmr. F256K2) and msdos 6.22 PC that I'll have at my table in VCF Mtl. Would you stop by my table to check this obscure new retro machine on the left and to try out the PC Game port Party on the right with cool 1v1 gamepad games?
A text menu with graphical flourish that writes " VCF MTL Menu" and "wildbitsK2" in big graphical letters. An ornamented yellow frame upon black background surrounds a text list of programs, one of them is highlighted in red. The yellow text "Try me" is found at the bottom, as well as the "1bit" black and white circle logo. A text menu with a big MSDOS classic colorful logo at the top left.

this is running on a F256K2 from Foenix Retro Systems using one of the many sound options it has. Here, the YMF262 is showcased but the list I have is mostly opl2 with some opl3 sprinkled in.

A relaunch will happen for that system very shortly, now owned by wildBits Computing Company.
