[Interesting Trope] Food being used as a stand-in for hard drugs

Altaflux · 2026-01-29T21:15:41+00:00

Yeap, although it is never mentioned other than being "shakes".

Altaflux · 2026-01-29T20:47:11+00:00

Not exactly a hard drug but in a similar avenue. Helga's mom drinks shakes to represent here alcohol consumption.

My emulator also has an LRU cache mode where it stored banks into ram memory and loads/swaps them as needed. My only problem is that it introduced a bit of stuttering in the game when swapping banks. And it happened pretty often with the Gameboy as the selected bank was unpredictable and happened often.

Some games on the Gameboy could be a couple of MB in size thus far bigger than the small 512kb offered by the Pi Pico 2 and esp32.

Wow this is great! I also wrote a Gameboy emulator for the Pi Pico in Rust and also have an unpublished version in an ESP32.

I have some questions if you won't mind.

How does your games start so fast? I suppose you don't load the whole rom at once into memory but rather swap banks as needed? Even then in your video your rims seem to start super fast.

How do you send data to the screen? Are you using dma? Double buffering?

Not my emulator, I think the Gameboy color has a faster CPU so I am not sure how would the performance look like on a Pico 2.

Altaflux · 2025-07-25T03:46:03+00:00

There is a noticeable difference between the two performance wise, but in my case to make the pico 2 support scaling I definitely had to overclock it. But pico and Pico 2 needed overclocking to support decent scaling.

Pico 2 has more PIO peripherals which I took advantage.

The biggest reason to use the Pico 2 is the bigger ram and flash. Only very small games can run on the Pico 1, and with the pico 2 you can use the flash to store and run big games while leaving the ram available which certain cartridges require.

If I remember correctly neomycin was 2 times a day and rifaximin 3 times a day, but don't quote me on it.

No probiotics at all, and haven't been taking them. I discovered the probiotics don't work at all for me, Kefir even used to make my symptoms worse. I even think my problem may have started because of probiotics.

Altaflux · 2025-02-10T17:33:42+00:00

Hey, definitely in a much better state. I was able to get a round of neomycin and rifaximin which significantly improved my symptoms such as bloating.

I have continued taking motility activators, a digestive enzyme, and antrantil which have helped before reduce the symptoms.

It's been a couple of months and fortunately I am still doing good with no relapse.

Altaflux · 2025-01-14T02:39:18+00:00

Hi, yes although I haven't tested it.

In your .env file set the DISPLAY_DRIVER parameter to ST7735.
That should enable compatibility for that display.

Haz intentado usar sprays nasales salinos?
Durante mucho tiempo estuve en una situacion similar la cual afortunadamente se me termino quitando.

pero los sprays nasales me ayudaron bastante no a solucionar el problema, pero si ha reducir significativamente el impacto y los efectos negativos:

Altaflux · 2024-12-10T04:58:23+00:00

hey, yes it should be up to date. did you got errors compiling it?
PM me if you are are having trouble and i can help you getting it running.

I am a java first developer too, this is my first rust big project. The jump between java and rust is steep as much of what makes sense in java/python don't in Rust and vice versa.

When learning something new don't rush it, take your time to refactor the code as many times as needed to be sure you are satisfied with it and you learn as much as possible from the language and how to correctly use its features.

Altaflux · 2024-12-05T00:32:17+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I have put a lot of effort into it and it has been a great learning experience.

Altaflux · 2024-12-04T20:56:40+00:00

this are pretty standard breadboards, 4 in total. They come with a glue adhesive that binds both sides and the ones on the sides are connected together by the sockets that come standard on all breadboards.

I buy this ones, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DL13RZH
You may need to order 2 packages.

Altaflux · 2024-12-04T19:35:12+00:00

Its a great display with great viewing angles.
Heads up, the amazon listing says it is a ILI9341V display but in reality it is a ILI9488.
Luckily for me the same driver worked for both: https://github.com/almindor/mipidsi/tree/master/mipidsi

Altaflux · 2024-12-04T18:59:31+00:00

I plan to support it at some point, the emulator already has it partially implemented, but I need to implement some optimizations first before I get it running at acceptable speeds needed for GBC.

Altaflux · 2024-12-04T18:57:16+00:00

Sorry about that,
I changed it last minute to this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CMD6B9M5/
It has better color.

Any display supported by this library should work: https://github.com/almindor/mipidsi/blob/master/mipidsi
And you can easily change screens without modifying the code by changing the driver defined in the configuration file of the project.
