Whoa yeah that signup form killed the experience for me. A definite turn off. Could build a much, much simpler and elegant form.

Good idea! I'll take some today and add them to the github repo. Maybe that will be helpful. :)

Aww thanks much! :D Yeah I just lack confidence I guess since reversing binaries has always seemed a bit intense. I need to finally buy a really good code reversal tool and then start my quest to reproduce! :) It would be great if me or som

Because the 16 bit executables are closed source. :/ The special linker MILD.exe that organizes all of the RSP(Reality Signal Processor) microcodes and game data is the piece that needs to be reverse-engineered which is possible but cu

I've tried but it doesn't seem possible. Wine and even DOS Box can't run the 16 bit SDK executables. I'd love to be able to run just the ROM build process in Wine. :)

Yes! :) There's a great book called the Nintendo 64 Anthology that is a fantastic read to get in-depth history of the console. It also dives into how Rare created Golden Eye and some good info about Silicon Graphic's hardware deve

Haha thanks for providing that! :) I should eventually add some gifs/png showing the editor working.

I'm using the 64drive cart from http://64drive.retroactive.be/ . I've owned both generations and they're very easy to develop with. There's a USB port on the side of the N64 cart that lets you load ROMs v

Yep! Thanks for the clarification.

Aww thanks so much! Glad you like it! :D Yeah this is definitely not useful haha but I'm learning more about 3d mathematics, rendering techniques, low-level systems, constructing tools, etc...

BTW here's a video of proof-of-concept ROM I built first to see if I could actually achieve building what I wanted on the console. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59txD0ZyBic

Haha yeah I don't expect many people to actually setup a VM to use this but it's a big learning project for me! :) My end goal is to create a new game for the N64 but I need tools. So this project is really for me and anyone else

It's really easy actually to load on an emulator or on real hardware. The build process I'm working on now creates a production ready ROM that can be placed on an EverDrive 64 or 64 Drive cart. I always test on real hardware when

These files are necessary to setup the dev environment if you want to compile. I use the link myself when setting up a new build machine. If you don't trust the files that's perfectly fine. You could pretty easily, I believe, find

Dang I can't even access downdetector. I'm in California in the central valley. Everything is very sluggish and the ol' router/modem reboot did nothing. :/

I don't store any personal information. Just public chaincoin wallet addresses so I think in my use case this solution works pretty well. Good ideas to think about though! :)

Yeah it actually is open source! :~) https://github.com/deadcast/ChainTrack . It's using Rails 5.1.4 with Ruby 2.4.1.

I don't think it's that bad. Reminds me of my current login flow for some sites where I utilize 2FA.

I just did this with my web app that helps you track alt coin earnings. Just enter your wallet addresses and then bookmark the unique url that's generated for you. Access any time with no credentials. Works well so far but might not be

Great work and thanks for sharing the source! I love when I can see the output from someone's program, get the source code, compile it myself and then get the same results! :)

Happy to hear this! I just became an ACLU member yesterday and I'm grateful to have an organization like them around in our current frightening times. The amount of support they've been getting is pretty awesome! :)

Please keep your conspiracy theory propaganda off of HN. You're a danger to the world we live in. Ty.

Does anyone know if there's something like this available now to experiment with? I've been looking for a new way to ultra compress images and never heard of these techniques before. Looks like Google hasn't released any tool

I guess I'm puzzled as to why somebody would find this great event saddening?
