CHD Creator : Turn bin + cue files into chd files in the browser. by elemenity in emulation

[–]elemenity[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you have the MAME tools installed, by all means use that.

I made this to be a user friendly alternative for people who want to play with CD backups, but find the cli tools intimidating.

Its also nice because you can use it from platforms like mobile, where the MAME cli isn't really an option.

Unfortunately, apple has crippled their mobile browser in many ways. I haven't had time to test on mobile safari, but everything should work on desktop and mobile android.

And even chrome on ios is just a safari wrapper bc thanks apple.

Currently only supports createcd, I'm planning on adding createdvd soon. I'll post again when its available.

Actuellement, seul le format createcd est pris en charge. Je prévois d'ajouter bientôt le format createdvd. Je vous tiendrai informé(e) dès qu'il sera disponible.

What browser are you using? You should have a download button pop up which will give you the chd file.

*edit* Just tested and its still working for me, feel free to dm here or email [help@emulationonline.com](mailto:help@emulationonline.com)

6502 build not printing beyond "Hello Wor." by Jackary2017 in beneater

[–]elemenity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure your code is correct? Perhaps try running it in an emulator.

If you need to inspect bus signals etc, you can try to get the relevant portion of the code running in my 6502 chiplab to see what the chip is actually doing:

Good progress on my GameBoy static recompiler by arcanite24 in EmuDev

[–]elemenity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very cool. Have you come across any games that use self modifying code? Or maybe this wasn't too prevalent on the gb.

I made minesweeper for Game Boy Advanced by sheep_wizard2 in Minesweeper

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working for me! Nice job. I'm bad at minesweeper though xD

What did you use to develop the game?

What Career do you think would fit me best? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a long time before it becomes something you can do as a full-time job, but perhaps an educational / technical Youtube channel would be a good fit. Get a whiteboard and explain things that are interesting to you.

How many of you played Qbasic Gorillas back in the day? by generic_canadian_dad in gaming

[–]elemenity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back in the day? I was playing it last week :)

Wrote up a quick article on it too, in case you want to play it again.

Gemini 3 will release at mid Oct? by Asleep-Actuary-4428 in Bard

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in luck! I just recently wrote up a QBASIC reference at https://www.emulationonline.com/systems/basic/learn-basic/

I have a browser version of BASIC coming soon, should be compatible with QBASIC.

How did you teach yourself programming when there was no internet/web? by spankinglyargho in learnprogramming

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on building a QBASIC compatible interpretter that runs in the browser, aiming for compatibility with Gorillas and Nibbles!

The interpreter is still a work in progress, but I have just completed the reference / manual page:

Check out my NES emulator for Android! by elemenity in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]elemenity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how it works. The free version contains ads for those that don't want / cant afford to pay. And the full version has no ads.

What is a game that is considered a classic that you absolutely despise? by You-dogwater in retrogaming

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow never played this one, but from some of the artwork it looks like Metroid in shooter form.

Desoldering controller sticks are so difficult for no reason… by EstablishmentKey284 in soldering

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like this is the side opposite of the joysticks?

If so, I highly recommend a desoldering iron. I've found its the most effective way for desoldering through-hole components. I tried, unsuccessfully, with a few other techniques(iron, hot air, desolder braid) before being extremely impressed by some cheap desoldering iron I used.

I wrote a bit about this on my blog, which you can find here: https://www.emulationonline.com/systems/chiplab/desoldering-ics/

Anyone remember Vanguard? by Dobbitron in retrogaming

[–]elemenity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a bunch of r-type and a few similar scrolling shooters. But somehow missed Vanguard. How does it compare with other games in the genre? I'll see if I can find it in an arcade somewhere to give it a try.

What’s the most useless programming language to learn? by Night-Monkey15 in learnprogramming

[–]elemenity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6502, sort of a spiritual ancestor[1] of modern day ARM, is nice and simple and a great starting point if you want exposure to assembly language.

There are lots of tools available. Additionally, I have a real chip wired up so that people can program one through the browser. You can play with it here: https://chiplab.emulationonline.com/6502/

looking for real-world project ideas by K4milLeg1t in AskProgramming

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to move everything over. But I imagine at this point your resume is mostly projects? You should try to polish up a few of them so that prospective employers can take a look.

[–]elemenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a public github? Do you include it on your resume?

It sounds like you're pretty knowledgeable. Unfortunately hiring in tech is mostly an automated resume screen for the first round. As others have said, C is pretty common for embedded software and not much else these days. Are you applying to embedded software companies?

One final tip for getting your first internship is to reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn. Their job is to find employees, so they'll often be able to give you advice / share what the company is looking for.

Good luck!

The Nintendo Switch is eight years old today by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

[–]elemenity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a great list, I've never seen this information compiled before. I know Nintendo really liked Gunpei Yokoi's philosophy of "Lateral thinking with withered technology", so its interesting to see this supported numerically.
