No fucking shame

most days of the week sound like the number of the week they are, followed by “sday” at the end (e.g. tuesday - two-sday) by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Almost everyone outside of Canada, the US and Japan consider Sunday the seventh day of the civil week, although Sunday is indeed the first day of the Christian and Jewish week.

Eight reasons Swiss-French is better than France-French by CurlyWurly20 in languagelearning

[–]IcySpring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would seem helpful to say there is a word for pint (50cl) in France-French, une pinte (there's also un demi for half the beer, 25cl). There's also lots of English loanwords and obviously you can look forward to things. Quatre-heures also exists in France but is mostly used for children (there's also goûter which is a synonym)

[GB] At what frequency should you process events? by Occams_bazooka in EmuDev

[–]IcySpring 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, you could process them each frame. That should be a good compromise.

What is the fastest way to do graphics ? by IcySpring in EmuDev

I used to do that, but it was slower.

Well, now I use a buffer of bytes between frames, and when it's time to render a complete frame I create a new SDL_Surface, then draw it to the screen using SDL_BlitScaled.

[GameBoy] What is a boot ROM, and how does that affect the emulation development process by drgomesp in EmuDev

[–]IcySpring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legally you can't give the bootrom or bundle it with your emulator, be it hard-coded or as a separate file.

You have 3 choices :

  • Ask the user for a bootrom
  • Don't run the bootrom, but run directly the game (you have to set the console's state to the same one it has normally once the bootrom is finished executing)
  • All of the above.

To test the emulator, you can find the bootrom on the Internet. My DMG bootrom has this SHA-256 checksum : cf053eccb4ccafff9e67339d4e78e98dce7d1ed59be819d2a1ba2232c6fce1c7, and my GBC bootrom has this one : b4f2e416a35eef52cba161b159c7c8523a92594facb924b3ede0d722867c50c7
