I like our strategy too, but it might not be the best for visibility. Our view counts are abysmal. 😂

Screenshot of Marshall Art YouTube playlist. View counts are mostly in the double digits - ranging from 14-52, with one video at 284.

I wrote up an account of that story for this year’s @magfest.org Power magazine, featured alongside other Kageyama MAGFest stories from members of @superstrikersband.bsky.social @steelsamurai.bsky.social, and @emfedex.bsky.social. Digital copy of the magazine: super.magfest.org/magfestpower...

Screenshot of a page of the 2026 MAGFest Power magazine.

“Masashi Kageyama’s MAGFest story began
in January 2012 on a small side stage set up at
MAGFest X. Autoscroll - an alter ego of Philadelphia
chiptune band Cheap Dinosaurs devoted to covering VGM tunes - played a set that might have set a MAGFest record for most VGM deep cuts in a single performance.
In the middle of the set was Just Friends, from
Gimmick! for the Famicom (NES). At the front of the
crowd armed with an iPhone was emfedex, dutifully
documenting the performance as she had done
with many chiptune shows before. This video was
Kageyama-san’s first exposure to MAGFest. From
what I understand, his first reaction upon finding the video was confusion: who was this band? Why were they playing a song he had written decades ago from a game that was never released in their country?
Were they trying to pass off his composition as their
own? Emily explained the situation - the band was
paying tribute to his music. With that understanding
a friendship was born that opened a whole new world to Kageyama!
The MAGFest crowd was fully aware of the song’s
origins - the band had handed out printed copies of
their setlist to the audience, complete with game
and composer credits. After this clarification, he
was genuinely appreciative: Kage-san’s impression
was that Gimmick! and his soundtrack was not well
received. He has stated that part of the reason why
he stopped composing for games “probably had to
do with the fact that there was almost no response
whatsoever to the work I created.” Yet here there was- a band who had discovered his work, performing it to an audience of enthusiastic VGM fans. What followed was a flurry of Facebook friend requests from Kageyama - starting mostly with the band members but extending to the broader western chiptune and VGM scene. He had found a community of folks
making music using video game hardware, and at the same time a pocket of foreigners who were ardent fans of his music.”

I know the last thing I needed to do was start another collection of large spinning discs, but here we are.

Next, it’s The Arkadian! @jononealmusic.bsky.social and co are playing a set of vgm and originals that sound like they came off your old 80’s heavy metal tapes. They’ll be backed by a collaborative visual set by @lightningarts.bsky.social, @gtx.bsky.social, and jmr. Saturday! 5:40pm! Main Stage!

Marshall Art@marshallart· Jan 1

Jeff collaborated with @lightningarts.bsky.social and @gtx.bsky.social on visuals for back to back main stage sets. First up it’s @caseyleewilliams.bsky.social at 4:10pm on Saturday!

Marshall Art@marshallart· Jan 1

Kev and @roninopf.bsky.social are Exceptional Goblins! @neoncowell.bsky.social’s set at MAGFest 2024 was one of those rare life-affirming concert experiences and I’ll treasure my memories of that set for all my days. Go see them on the XP Stage on Saturday at 2:30pm.

Marshall Art@marshallart· Jan 1

Friday night at midnight, in panels 6: the annual @dwellingofduels.bsky.social listening party! This has been a tradition since MAGFest 3, and the community is thriving more than ever. Come learn about one of the longest running online music competitions and listen to some shitpost-y vgm covers!

Marshall Art@marshallart· Jan 1

Triforce Quartet will be returning to the main stage on Thursday, 6:40pm, and this time they’re bringing friends! Jeff designed the backing visuals for this performance. Facebook event: www.facebook.com/share/1BnxtF...

First up: Thursday at 2:00pm on the XP Stage, it’s Close to Good making their long deserved MAGFest debut. Kev’s on drums, and Jeff contributed to their backing visuals.

I stand by my comment and I am eagerly awaiting an apology for the way you patently ignored the NES-101’s lack of a CIC. … In all seriousness I really appreciated the vid. I learned quite a bit! Pretty sure the YouTube comment section is one of the nine circles of hell masquerading as a website. 🤣

YouTube screenshot showing a frame of the Video Game History Foundation’s video about NES’s us launch, highlighting the Nintendo CIC lockout chip - a rectangular black IC. A comment from Marshall Art reads “In "every official NES console"? This is toploader erasure and I will not stand for it. 🤣”.

The comment is intended to be tongue in cheek.

Gave me an excuse to use this little guy for the first time in a while. 💙

I’m not going to magfest and somehow I’ve made more visuals this year than the past two years combined. 😅 Pretty stoked about collaborating with @lightningarts.bsky.social for the first time! I designed a handful of elements and did multiple analog video & vhs passes. Some spoiler-free screenshots:

Tonight’s satisfying accomplishment: I wanted decent looking footage of the Ocarina of Time title screen without the logo, so I worked out enough about 3DS game modding to make it myself. It crashes soon as the sequence is finished but I DON’T CARE IT WORKS!

People are discovering my 11 year old YouTube upload of BGM1 from Jimmy White’s Cueball thanks to some instagram reel.

I love my janky live visuals setup too much to ever stop using it, but sometimes I wonder if I’d have an easier time if I wasn’t so stubbornly tied to tools from 2006. CHIPTUNE!

I bought a second hand laserdisc player today. It had this Chinese karaoke disc inside… and I kinda dig it.

Good to know! Seems I have to get up to speed on the latest capabilities. My deck apparently has the needed signals available on a pretty convenient header, so at least that aspect will be easy!

Organizing some old files and found an early setlist mockup for our MAGFest 2020 performance. I forgot I had suggested Space Harrier and Smurfs Nightmare that long ago - we did those 5 years later! I still really want to play @coryjohnsonvgm.bsky.social’s Sanctuary someday. Next time…
