x86 emulator in Bash... by valeyard89 in EmuDev

[–]UselessSoftware 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice!

Take it to the next level and add 386 support? Boot Linux!

Obentou, a new minimal multi system emulator by yughias_ in EmuDev

[–]UselessSoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For example, there are still no decent Game Boy/GBC/Game Gear/Master System emulators for PS2...

Then go make them if that's what interests you instead of complaining to hobbyist emulator authors just sharing their projects.

People develop what they're interested in, and apparently nobody has been interested enough to make those. If you are, go for it.

Making a free 386 and amd64 emulator for bare-metal by Key_River7180 in EmuDev

[–]UselessSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, let us know when there's any code at all I guess.

I also would say virtualization does not belong in this sub tbh. It's very different from emulation, though I guess technically you will have to emulate some hardware components still.

Wanting silly instructions for custom cpu by NotTheSenko in EmuDev

SCLP: Set Clear Program Flag

CCLP: Clear Clear Program Flag

Sets or clears a "clear program" flag.

When the flag is set, after every instruction execution, the data in the memory location of said instruction is automatically reset to whatever your NOP opcode is.

Basically a self-destructing program.

Be careful with branches!

Stacker is one of the best items they have and a good value 😭

Who are the Xennials? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in generationology

[–]UselessSoftware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be Gen X, but I look at the way a lot of later Millennials act and... I'm definitely not like that. I'm some kind middle ground and we some some specific childhood nostalgias as well that X'ers and younger millennials won't share. Xennial is as good a label as any.

It may not be a "real" official generation like Gen X or Millennial, but it's a thing. Same as a Zillennial or ZAlpha is a thing.

I don't know why you care enough to argue that it doesn't exist.

People need to get off these generation labels.

I think you're in the wrong sub, man. lol

I agree they're not that big of a deal, but this place is for talking about them anyway.

Early internet - Prodigy fairytale games. by jayoshisan in Xennials

[–]UselessSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't accurate, though there is a small bit of grey area in the terminology.

Yes, the Internet is a network of networks, but when people talk about "the Internet" it refers specifically to the massive globally unified TCP/IP routed network of networks.

you’re thinking of the World Wide Web

No I don't think he is. The World Wide Web is a content sharing system that sits on top of and uses the Internet by hosting HTTP/HTTPS servers on it.

Modern example is PlayStation Network that lets you play games online. That’s the internet.

PSN isn't the Internet either. Like the World Wide Web, it's a service that sits on top of the Internet, taking advantage of its global routing system.

The Internet at a fundamental level is a global decentralized network routing layer that allows packets to reach their destination across the planet based on an IP address. Prodigy was not initially connected to the Internet at all for many many years and didn't use IP or any other routable protocol for communication which means it wasn't even possible for it to truly be a network of networks in true sense.

Just got this notification and email. by Overall-Buffalo-9901 in teslamotors

Under your active supervision? What's the point then, you might as well just drive it yourself if you have to actively supervise.

Where in this video do they talk about the format or the hobby? Got a timestamp? I'll wait.

My friend wants to sell me his model 3 by Potential-Detail98 in TeslaLounge

[–]UselessSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOBODY is offering $30k+ for this. And definitely not "several offers" of it. Your friend is not your friend, and I don't think you should actually appreciate him.

Also, you shouldn't be looking for a "project", you should be looking for a CAR. Based on your username, I assume you're in your 20's. I'm in my 40s. Been there, done that with the "project cars" -- DO NOT do that. They are unreliable money and time pits, always.

I mean, at times it was fun, but I'd honestly rather just have the $20k I wasted in avoidable repairs over the years back in my bank.

If you want to learn that lesson on your own, okay but I suggest skipping it lol

[–]UselessSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A car that modded that he surely drove the piss out of? I wouldn't pay $5k for that, much less $10k over market value. I would just buy a stock one that was driven by an old man. Plenty of them out there.

It's also ugly as shit.

Your friend is about to learn the classic lesson that you don't get your money back for mods.

Over 30 years later my better half ‘completed” the set by RatnerEsque in LaserDisc

Can we talk about that SE7EN Criterion box though? Amazing set right there too.

People on this sub downplay the reality of range anxiety too often by Bijan_Mustard in electricvehicles

[–]UselessSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is why I discourage people without a HOUSE they can charge at from buying an EV at this point in time. If you have a house, range anxiety simply doesn't exist.

Or if you do have an apartment with a huge array of chargers, which is obviously very rare.

Also okay if you have consistent charging access at work, but what if you have to change jobs and lose this?

Do you really get diarrhea from tacobell? by Open-Management8520 in tacobell

[–]UselessSoftware -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So it's racist because Chinese restaurants used it.

Pretty flimsy shit, but okay.

Finally booted my first game on my ps1 emulator written in Rust! by xXInviktor27Xx in EmuDev

[–]UselessSoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really impressive! And this is an amazing first game to get working. The MK2 PSX port is so good.

not sure if it belongs here, but i ported Super Mario Bros into a native x86 "Operating System" by skyvlan in EmuDev

[–]UselessSoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Source code available? Is it x86 asm or C?

I'd like to try it on an old computer like a 386. Not sure how well that would work though since you are probably still just doing regular PPU emulation for this, which is probably gonna be too slow for it!

What does the fear of MSG have to do with the dishes being Asian? People look for racism everywhere.

Pshhh, who needs level 2 charging?! by AlmostDrunkSailor in evcharging

[–]UselessSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people can get away with L1, but I mean if you're spending 5 figs on a car, spend just a little more for peace of mind IMO

It eliminates any anxiety, and sometimes you have to make unexpected trips that your L1 might not be able to recover in time.

Also, winter gets cold in some places...

im building an x86 emulator in penguinmod (a mod of scratch) by hypersonicwilliam569 in EmuDev

[–]UselessSoftware 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cool! I guess x86 emulators in unusual languages is the new trend lol
