Ah, that’s another interesting possibility. I definitely observed that the actual HDMI refresh rate is 59.94 Hz while playing Super Mario Maker, but no idea what the game’s internal frame rate is.

Video creator here. You're absolutely right. On the other hand, it at least gave some data on exactly how the Wii Classic Controller in particular behaves. I'd be curious if the Wiimote by itself behaves any differently too. I sti

The schematics for the multitap are out there in the SNES developer manual [1]. I actually made one on a breadboard for fun [2] and eventually turned it into a PCB. It's a pretty simple circuit with an analog mux and some tri-state buf

One interesting thing I've discovered recently is that everyone (including myself) is doing the ROM SIMM pinout slightly wrong when used in Quadras. The existing programmable SIMMs seem to work in the 610/650/800 and 700&#x2F

(Author here) I ended up buying a bunch of the components, including all of the passives, at LCSC. Notably the Cypress chip was much less expensive there too. Here's a link to the resistor network part I bought: https://www.

Thanks for sharing! I had a brand new one of these displays in 1999 when they first came out and it developed the same problem a year later. The replacement from MacMall’s warranty company (which was graphite instead of blue) also eventuall

Hey, thanks bunnie! I will definitely keep that in mind if I run into any future snags on this project. So far so good!

Sorry about that! I was definitely aware of the volume and tried to warn, but it wasn't obvious enough. I bolded the text to make it more obvious.

The Chumby was definitely a fun experience back in the day! The title page of the getting started guide inside the box says: So you purchased (or stole) a chumby The official Quick Start Guide (for those who oppose starting slowly)

Ahh, there's a familiar username! I was actually amazed at how long it had been when I finally built up the motivation to pick the project back up earlier this year. My GitHub linux repository is still forked from your silvermoon-linux

After the initial trip to the tire shop, 2 of the sensor IDs that were previously working were still working. And I had 2 brand new valve stems. So they definitely changed out the bad one, along with another one. I just got super unlucky an

I'm the author of this post. I don't know why I had so much trouble picking up my own sensors. I agree, I've seen a lot of people say they can pick them up from pretty far away too. I'm still not sure about my antenna si

It does have an SPI TPM header, which as far as I was able to tell, does bring out all of the signals I needed (including the BIOS chip select). But it's just all of the same signals in a different form factor. It was actually easier t

Author here — maybe it was dumb of me to try, but it didn’t come close to a bad temperature. I get the feeling that the BIOS doesn’t stress the CPU very much. Of course, I would never try to boot an OS or let it sit for much longer than I d

I had Frontier (originally Verizon) DSL up until 2014 when it became obvious that the network was turning into crap, which finally led me to switch to Charter. This story doesn't surprise me at all. Luckily, in my region Frontier was s

That too is possible (serial ports though, not ADB). There are existing LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge products from long ago that are getting harder and harder to find. I was actually working on a new one for a while but ran out of the time&

Thank you! That is very useful to know for the future.

That's exactly what I was mulling over in my head today (I'm the author of this blog post). If there's some way to simply provide a v3 of this patch while leaving the credit with the original author, I'd love to do it. I

That's awesome! I'm not sure how I could have gotten Windows to work in that situation. :-) Glad you enjoyed the post.

I'm the author of the blog post. My first time here on Hacker News...very cool that it was picked up! I did my memory testing inside of Linux using memtester. I honestly want to do more thorough testing at some point to prove that it&#
