The MSX computers regularly had two cartridge ports. Some cartridge games by Konami had extra features and cheats that could be triggered by inserting certain other cartridges to the secondary port. Here is a list of them: http:/&#x2F

The 8-Bit Guy on Youtube made a great video series on character LCD screens and how to run them. In the first video he shows how to drive one manually using just switches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZRL8luuPb8 In part

This obviously doesn't apply to all C code, but one thing that I like to do is to find some sort of endpoint. A piece of code that communicates with the "outside world" and start from there. See what commands you can send to

I can't help but to wonder how much difference there actually is when playing the piano or typing on a keyboard as a child.

It's a backhanded compliment. I agree that the author thinks he showing appreciation but that is insulting. It's the same inherent condescension that I've seen a lot of Americans show towards foreigners.

> “Waterloo! / I couldn’t escape if I wanted to.” You wouldn’t think foreigners would be able to come up with that. Wow, condescending much?

userbinator's post clearly mentions cloning the hardware being problematic legality-wise and I was replying to that. Nobody's saying the cloned BIOS is problematic legal-wise.

PC clones were deemed legal back in the day. No reason this wouldn't be.

If you check the "Who?" page, the author mentions writing an SQL tutorial software "GalaXQL" and an 8051 simulator at school. I went to the same school and remember that they were used as teaching aids in different cours

Just because that's the only part of their planning that we know of doesn't mean that it's the only planning that they actually did.

As an interesting side note, that capsule building was used in the old DOS PC game Transport Tycoon as one of the futuristic type of buildings that would appear in cities in late game. http://sidenote.hu/wp-content/uplo

I was obviously talking about the Discord emojis. I didn't think I needed to specify.

by Nr7 8y ago
Why on earth don't you have a separate button for emoji on iOS like you have on Android? Having to manually type :emojiname: every time is absurd. Yes, I know it shows a list when you start typing but it's still horribly cumbersom

I think the first Settlers game on the Amiga had the same feature.

Vim adventures also helped me to get started in Vim. I never finished it but it definitely was useful in learning the basics. I recommend it.

This would never work for me. The idea of lying awake in bed for 8 hours doing nothing sounds like torture.

I think he means the _release_ of the source code is the outcome, not the code itself.

Don't worry, the hubbub will calm down quickly when the 'next big news story' happens and mainstream media concentrates on that. The general public will have completely forgotten this incident in a month or two.

Here is an excellent video about the history of Amiga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP1nLzT_t0o There are several other related videos on the channel that are very much worth to watch.
