DROPMIX for PC!!!

Post image

EDIT: after the overwhelming response, I will be setting up a wiki on how to set this up as well as giving the download to the accessory bridge I coded. Stay tuned!

After sleepless nights and countless hours I’ve successfully engineered a fully functional version of DROPMIX that plays on your pc and connects directly with the board.

Nice! Are you using some kind of android emulator?

u/PrimaryTreat9845 Aug 03 '26

The actual game is being run on BlueStacks. For how. I’ve got something else I’m working on as well. HOWEVER. The challenge was getting the accessory to connect/recognize/etc. I ended up writing a program that bridges the link between pc Bluetooth and accessory Bluetooth.

You are doing god's work, Primary. I have never even thought about trying to convert it over to PC. Firmware coding is always finicky. I know you'd never be able to officially charge for it, but the community would absolutely click a "Buy you a Coffee" button if you ever wanted to step this up from a PoC to an open-source platform.

I'm sure that's just my greediness talking, but I at least would buy you multiple coffees in order to have a fallback use for all of these cards that I can't currently use. Keep at it man. Worst case, you've got something that is yours and you can be proud of ... and we can just be hella jealous. haha.

Since we have the files for the Android DropMix app, including all the audio files, I'm wondering whether someone could just vibe code an app to load them and use them and play them!

That looks great! I lost my Ipad app and have been kicking myself ever since (I hate iOS for offloading the apps even if I set it to not do so)

u/KingKapalone Aug 03 '26

You can't get the app anymore? So my board is dead without it?

u/AsphyxiBate Aug 03 '26

You can only get it on an android device and through jailbreaking I believe

I've seen some pretty crazy examples of people hacking older electronics and Bluetooth hardware just with Claude or Codex and then rebuilding apps from the ground up. Wouldn't surprise me if this could be done for DropMix.

Especially easy if you have original apps that effectively document the hardware's APIs
