I still occasionally write some m68k code and apps. These are from 2024:

- RXS-M-XS 32bit->32bit Permuted Congruential Generator: https://sintonen.fi/src/misc/pcg_rand.asm
- Minimal modplayer (protracker music player): https://sintonen.fi/src/minimod/ (the replayer routine is mostly from Frank Wille however)
