Weird. The 32x has its own power supply.
There’s a reason GenX trained on hopper. Too bad the newer generations don’t have something equivalent
I don’t know the answer to your question, but I’ll add that I’ve seen major cities that have overhead yellow flashing light boxes that mean “you must stop if there is a pedestrian crossing the road”
Oh, I like that a lot.
You’re right, let me prefix with that.
It’s not unusual for normies to casually throw out a self deprecating statement when fishing for a complement; eg., “Ugh, I’m such an ugly cow today” - to which the expected response is something like “no babe, you look SOOO good!”
Personally, I’ve tended to ignore such statements entirely, which has shrunk the number of people who speak to me significantly…and I am just fine with that.
Do with that information what you will, but I’m also neuro-spicy - so don’t use my behavior as a measuring stick.
A) I didn’t use AI for any of that B) you’re behaving like a pedantic dick and I’m done with you.
Wow you’re unnecessarily aggressive and oppositional. Who hurt you today?
FPGAs can absolutely be used to provide cycle accurate hardware replacements. The fact that they guarantee realtime execution of instructions also makes it easier to achieve cycle-accurate execution than can be achieved with emulation.
I’m not claiming FPGAs are a magic bullet, but when it comes to offering a retro gaming experience they offer a number of advantages for accuracy that is incredibly difficult to achieve with emulation, and with input latency far closer to the original experience than an emulator can offer.
Edit: Oh, and since you crapped on my parable, educate yourself with a Google search for “ntvdm”
That depends on the accuracy of the core on the FPGA.
Your comparison of GBA on dsi is kinda like saying “my dos games didn’t work well on my windows 2000 computer” same cpu sure, but OS and hardware ‘locations’ aren’t necessarily the same.
Last time I used project 64, I used a retrobrawler (the really plugs into a N64 one) and a raphnet adapter. It was great, and the stick control did feel better than an xb360 controller.
To be fair, I was using ultrahle, which was a very high level emulator targeting mario64 and specifically needing a GLIDE-supporting card. It did well enough on ocarina as (my understanding is that) it used the same graphics engine as Mario64 and therefore the same function calls… but there were many other games that wouldn’t run at all.
The first time I played ocarina of time, it was on a k6-2/450 with a voodo3-3000. It ran well enough that I considered it on par with a real N64. Edit: this would have been 2002/2003.
Yeah I keep discord in one so that it can’t hook my GPU and audio devices.
That was clever. Thanks for the share.
No, but being in Spain during the summer lends itself to doing as the locals do. I couldn’t have given less of a care about what time zone I was in.
I spent about a week in Toledo, Spain for a wedding a few years ago during the summer. We were taking siestas on our second day there and eating dinner at 10pm.
It was actually quite enjoyable operating on the Spanish time-conventions.
I’m sorry. I agree with you that your take is valid. I once had to explain to the assistant to the CFO why it was a bad idea to whitelist a gambling website (“they’re doing a fun play for the world Cup that uses points instead of real money’”) for the team handling customer card payments…and even then she still wanted it done until I told her she had to officially sign a release accepting responsibility for negative outcomes.
My untreated ADHD was a huge asset when I worked customer support for an airline. I had tons of customer complements and I was hailed as an example by area management on how to balance corporate costs with getting customers what they want.
I utterly failed managing a team of 15 people doing the exact same job. The multiple competing priorities on any given day often left me in task paralysis.
Now I work in I.T. and my ADHD is an asset again. I complete most days work in 3-5 hours and play video games the rest of the time.
Old enough to get married, drive a car, legally procreate, vote, fight in war, live alone … But not old enough to drink.
So to provide further context, PCs have tables that can be checked to see what hardware is located where. Phones don’t have this, and if you try to query the wrong component or the right component at the wrong address, you can crash the whole device.
PCs were this way too, before PnP/PCI/ACPI tech showed up.
Loading Linux on a Pentium with a bunch of ISA cards was NOT a guaranteed win.
