Could anyone help me acquiring an Uzebox?
So the dilemma is here. I wish to do stuff on this nifty little game console, but lets face it: I am no electrical engineer, and that's only part of a bigger problem. In short: Could somebody spare some time to solder an Uzebox for me, and send it me in a manner I can receive it safe and sound? (Of ...

Re: Get that emu faster
No it doesn't because the pre-decoder still uses 8-bit types internally. ;) I know, but that's still pretty much enough to break stuff in subtle manners. It makes things only worse that the variables are global to the exec function, so you can only change their type to all the instructions, so you ...

Re: Merging with Git without a loss of sanity
Text editor (mcedit), removing the conflict markers by hand But essentially the setup for complex situations is the same you describe with meld: I have three terminals open side-by-side with mcedit showing the respective versions.

Re: Get that emu faster
I though about doing the same in my run of performance optimizations, but I discarded it. This is far from being a trivial change, and I have experience on it (my RRPGE emulator's 16 bit CPU's ALU is realized with 32+ bit unsigned integers). For most part it works, but there are a few instructions, ...

Gordian Tomb: awesomeness in a few kilobytes
Gordian Tomb is a Commodore 64 game, which is notable for me for its soundtrack. If you like the old breadbin, you should know about the HVSC , where you can get just about all the SIDs ever composed, be them demos, game soundtracks, whatever. This particular piece comes from Thomas Detert, and is e...

Re: Hidden gem NES music!
Huh, this is nice indeed I wonder how large the music is in the reality, I mean in kilobytes. I checked out a gameplay video of the thing. That game is quite a feat for the NES!

Re: Get that emu faster
What you describe should essentially have very similar end effect to what I did as clean-up. I would except breaking this up the way you describe (CunningFellow) would even be slower without the benefit of microcoding than what I did. The most characteristic effect of my change is that update_hardwa...

Re: Get that emu faster
Dammit! The boons of having a Harvard architecture! :D The idea is indeed great, just needs proper testing and verifying. Even I had this in mind some long time ago when building an own emu, but there I planned the instruction set so it naturally had a single function table (switch), and forgot abou...

Merging with Git without a loss of sanity
Before other topics would receive too much unrelated content... So how to merge with Git in a clean and sane way, and what to pay attention to? For now just up to debates... My thoughts. First and foremost when someone's idea he is working on falls behind the master branch he contributes to, he shou...
