There's an entire community of video game hackers (smwcentral.net) using a cross-assembler I wrote in 2001 named xkas. I added a few minor patches and by early 2004 I had released the final version, v06. I never really intended for any

Oh awesome, so the original SWC supported DSP pass-through as well? Thought that was a SWC DX2 feature only (the 'Rolls Royce of SNES copiers.') Super UFO actually had a NEC uPD DIP socket you could connect to its mainboard for DS

I always thought it should be called USRT when strictly synchronous, but indeed, everyone else called it USART, so I called it the "USART controller" For instance, this is the code I use to emulate it (also includes pin connection

Props to innovating a solution. But since this is SNES related ... I've been working with people over the years on an SNES<>PC interface. Idea being, you could dump SNES games from the cartridge port to the PC. Or you could uploa

They also think the US isn't part of the world. I get it, you want a news place that's not all US, all the time. I'm right there with you, but if I am going to "world news", then I expect news from everywhere in the

Glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with the word. It looks like the word only ever applied to custom-made clothing. Yet somehow it was reappropriated to apply to computer hardware/software as well. Somehow this is an improv

In my case, it's much more difficult to find Japanese series. Japan isn't nearly as big on file sharing as we are. Anime, sure, but I'd like to watch things with real people too. Example: try finding the live action version o

I've been rather stunned at how no one has come up with a strong workaround to this yet. It's really quite simple, we just need slick, easy-to-use software for it. Make software that both turns your home computer into a single-use

On this topic, I'd like to get the advice of some HN C++ gurus. In my own emulator (higan), I have a namespace for each emulated system, and each component is its own unique object. Example: namespace GameBoyAdvance { CPU c

I don't see any reason why, in the few instances you actually intend to flush, you won't just say << std::flush. This will make it very clear that you intend to flush the output. And we should definitely be prioritizing th

Just a simple hash table, or if you prefer, a red-black tree. The index where the string was found would be the same between the native list and locale string file. I like this style because a) if the locale file is deleted you don't e

It's happened to me with Astrill, ExpressVPN, and vpn.ac so far. Usually I can reconnect to get a new IP to avoid catpchas again, so it seems only certain IPs are being poisoned. And no doubt because they are doing things they shouldn&

While still higher than regular ISP addresses, VPN abuse should be significantly lower than Tor abuse on account of these services costing real money. And nearly all of them not accepting anonymous forms of payment. I expect my VPN use to k
