#FM7
同じく1983年から、技術評論社が「7fan books : FM7のビョーキファンに捧げる」シリーズを出していて、これは結構長く続いた模様。確かに「ビョーキファン」って言い方あった気がする。

Would love to see that. Always boggled me how the jump from FM7-8 looked so incremental in thrice the time.

Dubai City Circuit Alt, in the early jostling for position, I push against another truck so much they actually rolled right over! For that to even be possible in the game says a lot, I think.

FM7 may be frustrating, at times, but there's clearly plenty to enjoy, as well.

Tonight on Sky plays FM7, I fall in love with a ridiculously good BMW M4 Coupe Forza Edition, discover I actually kinda like the mods, not least since the grid position cards can make a big difference, like helping you escape the crush on Long Beach, & fail not to buy every classic muscle car I see.

I mean, in FM7, my '70 Dodge Coronet Super Bee & I not only notched a 2:13 2nd lap on the reverse Alps Festival, 7s faster than the next best, but at Watkin's Glen, Short Circuit Alt, we notched consecutive 1:30s, to win by 22.5 seconds! We were absolutely flying.

Clearly, muscle agrees with me!

My thinking at this point is the drivatars are an overly ambitious concept executed sloppily, especially in FM7. Just think of the factors involved: car type, track, conditions, player data. Sometimes they click in, sometimes they don't, sometimes wires cross & muscle cars drive like GT cars.

Played a bit more FM7, a single six-race muscle car event, & even in that short time things varied wildly. 2 really good races, then a really bad 1 where the lead drivatars just seemed to sprout warp drives, then 2 decent 1s, then a classic rain only affects me 1 to close out.
Now playing: Forza Motorsport 7, & enjoying it a lot more than 5.

The handling is much better, & fairer, so most of the time if you skew wide, you messed up.

The 1 issue, as always with Forza, is the erratic drivatars; 1 race you're beating them with ease, the next you just can't close in on 1st.

That...may have been a mistake.

If anything were to highlight how bad the drivatars can be in FM7, it's the sight of Group B rally cars, some of the craziest, most screamingly sideways vehicles this side of a Ken Block gymkhana, perfectly glued to the racing line on *tarmac*.

It just don't add up.

grabbed something potentially quite rare: Milky Cat for FM7. didn't see it in neo kobe or mame softlist, so possibly/likely undumped, and last auction sightings are from 2016 and 2012, wow

GeminiにC9sus4→D9sus4のループはy2k drum'n'bassっぽい?とか、そこからFM7→GM7って進んで友達に噂されると恥ずかしい(詩織)かな…?根拠となる同ジャンルの名曲を述べよ!(豹変)ってやってリファレンスになる曲を教えてもらう、というのをやって練習している。こんなコト、日中もさることながらド深夜に聞ける相手はいないから…サ

Also, I made the backing track with BIAB ... Band In A Box, also Canadian and awesome.

PG Music - Band-in-a-Box, RealBand and more
Band-in-a-Box is so easy to use! Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you'd like, and Band-in-a-Box does the rest...

xD I'd be surprised if anyone finds a copy of that outside of Japan including having the computer to run it. I think I have the rom for either X1 or PC8801. Definitely not for FM7.

~But I do have the soundtracks on CD including 1 lol

I know we haven't talked since the FM7 Shep days but I'm wishing you the best.

Coincidence not plagiarism.

"Dbmaj7 – C7 – Fm7" is old. Similarity is genre based.
Example;
#BillWithers "Just the Two of Us" R&B-soul
#OliviaDean "I've Seen It" Neo-soul (lawsuit)
#Twice "Moonlight Sunrise" K-pop (no lawsuit)
#Chopin "Nocturne in F Minor" (pre-dates)

Olivia Dean accused of copying Bill Withers' Just The Two of Us
The star's record label is sued over similarities between her song I've Seen It and Withers' classic.

今月はこのようなコード進行でギター、ベース、鍵盤練習してみようと思います。BPMは79。そんくらいじゃないとおいらはコードチェンジに対応できない😇でもちょっとシャッフルさせよう。

Key = Dm
Dm7(9)  Gm7(9)
Em7-5  A7(13)  Dm7(9)

Fm7(9)  Bb7(13)  EbM7(9)
Em7-5  A7(13)  Dm7(9)  A7(13)

i have a theory that FM7 owners felt a bit of an inferiority complex toward the vastly more popular PC88, and hence wanted to rename their .D88 files, just to get that pesky 88 out of their face 😹
I’ve never seen D98, but D77 is pretty common in FM-7 land.

i've semi-recently learned that the OG 🇯🇵 scene way to name .d88 floppy image files was to rename them .d98 when they're for pc98, and .d77 when they're for fm7. looking at the images that are out there tho, i don't think they bothered to do it themselves most of the time, so not gonna bother either😹
