NTSC composite video isn't all that hard, you have voltages for VSync, HSync, VBlank, HBlank, Black and White. Generate the correct voltages at the correct times and you have a TV picture. But TVs then didn't have composite video

It's too bad that DOSBox-X doesn't have the Chrous/Reverb feature found in Dosbox Staging. This was a feature of the Sound Blaster AWE64 sound card, and it really enhanced the sound of Adlib music, almost making it sound lik

The game is not running from RAM, it is running from Flash ROM. This means that code and static data can be placed on ROM rather than in RAM. This is comparable to the GBA, which has 384KB of total RAM, and a ROM cartridge slot for storing

The "Google Chromecast with Android TV" was a stick that was sold for $25, and it runs full Android TV. Google would have to abandon Android TV before it would be bricked. They were sold as cable box replacements, running the You

The patch file will create 95% of a working ROM when applied to a blank file, but not enough to actually create a working ROM. Some important bytes are missing. Some ROM hack patches WILL create a complete working ROM when applied to a bla

DOS/V (Not to be confused with the similarly-named MS-DOS 5.0) is what made standard PCs able to run Japanese software. It provided a software emulation of a full Japanese text mode with Kanji, just requiring VGA.

I once read an article about a project that placed everything into 64KB size blocks. Any pointer within the block is 16-bit, and you can also have references to other blocks. First advantage is that the pointers become tiny, so the objects
