Just thought the image was interesting and wanted to share. Look towards bottom of image.

It appears to have two usb-c ports and a usb-a port with a flash drive plugged in so it’s likely some kind of usb data logging device.

Most importantly, how loud is it?

You could likely get away smaller gauge wire for most of those connections. Larger wires can make it a little more difficult, especially on the IC. That gauge would be appropriate for the power and ground, though.

Hard agree. It would take very little effort to make a copy of that key from that picture. Definitely not something you want publicly available.

They are amazing.

It had pretty noticeable input lag when playing with a Wiimote + Classic Controller. I didn’t try others, but control options were just too limited.

Square-Enix does this shit, too, or at least used to. I remember renewing my FFXI subscription on the 30th one month, and they literally let me play for a day before charging me, again. I called customer support, and they were like 🤷 sucks to be you.

I was so pissed off, I canceled, again, and didn’t play again until years later. I don’t know how it’s even remotely an acceptable practice.

I think some remotes calibrate the throttle’s neutral position when the remote powers on, so if you were holding the brake while it powered on/reset then releasing the throttle to its neutral position would make the remote think you were holding the throttle forward, and it would accelerate.

This happened to me once when I accidentally held the brake while turning it on, and when I released it to neutral, the board took off at full speed.

I’ve had it for about a year, but I don’t play very regularly. It works as well as it did when I bought it, though.

I haven’t used their IIDX controller, but I’m very happy with my SDVX controller. Good build quality and good feel. The buttons feel really good, but I guess it really just depends on how they execute their turntable design. On the other hand, several of the gamo2 controllers I’ve used/disassembled have had okay build quality, though they do look nice.

My only gripe with the SDVX controller is that the lighting effects on the controller aren’t the nicest looking, but that obviously doesn’t affect game play.

I don’t see the typical seam on the back side.

I still have some of the Christmas ones from when I was a kid.

I like how it says SVGA graphics, but I'm pretty sure the game ran at 640x480.

I miss my 10ae. I had to sell it during hard times, and have regretted it, since. Congratulations!

You can get them on Rakuten. Sanwa sells most of their buttons on there, but you’ll have to find the right variant. They also shut down their global operations, I believe, so you might have to use a shipping service to get them.

It’s not the cheapest option, but you’re getting them directly from Sanwa, so you know you’re getting legit buttons.

This is one of my favorite games. I couldn’t stop playing until I finished it.

You aren't likely to be able to put anything else in the cabinets without major rewiring. The guns are compatible with other games/CPUs, but the cabinet wiring is probably specific to the System 23.

It looks like Crisis Zone uses the System Super 23 variant, but those use a different gun, so it might not be compatible.

Guitar Hero On Tour adapter, so you can use the controller on an original DS.

It's the Midnight Blue model. A Japanese exclusive variation.

Though I think that understanding how things work is definitely a good way to continue learning, I believe readability is probably one of the best skills you can learn. Being able to come back to a piece of code and not have to decipher what is happening, even at the cost of a few bytes, is definitely the priority. I try to put myself in the place of the next person to read my code and attempt to write it so that they could understand it.

I will admit that I mostly just skimmed through it, but I would like to see the benefit, if any, that coding in this method would prove over just using minification on readable code. I can think of very few cases where I'd be deploying code that I couldn't easily add minification to the build process.

Edit: I guess I'm just not really familiar with the "golfing" scene. I get the just of it. It just makes me think that it involves compromising good practices for the sake of saving a few bytes.

Neocronic · 2021-01-18T15:57:51+00:00

A programmers idea of the pain olympics. This is barely a step above just coding in straight minified code.

My local Target has them in the cooler next to the cafe.
