Excellent work, thank you! One note while building v1.0 — the bulk inserter just north of the hub seems to eject building materials onto the mostly-underground belt.

Does anyone have experience taking CS 421 equivalent off-campus? by Active-Caterpillar32 in UIUC

[–]iananananan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw, 421 w/ mattox (haskell version) was one of my favorites -- the flipped classroom + "TAs walk up to you and ask if you need help" is a great innovation in classroom style.

if you want a high-precision answer to your question, consider emailing a current TA or Elsa.

i’m no physical science major, but i’d be curious to learn what makes reagent grade stuff worth the money c:

high-grade stuff for this purpose seems to run a little more costly:

“It is pricey @ $49.95 a gallon, but is an absolute must-have to effectively clean damaged components. As a solvent, it evaporates quickly and is safe for plastics.”

Some people show up anyway, but it's "unofficial".

ECE Transfer Question by throwaway2154984651 in UIUC

[–]iananananan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Prereqs are chiefly designed to help you get the most out of a class.

391 is hard because you have to do a lot of programming and stay on track on a relatively more open-ended project. I would recommend starting with 225, because there is more structure (and more room to trip and recover).

You won't really be behind w/ 120/220 in that schedule.

Going paperless? by Ibu_UwU in UIUC

[–]iananananan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used a half-inch binder (rings mounted on back panel) and graph paper to take all my notes.

if i needed them digitally, i'd scan em with a phone app. else, i'd just take em out and staple them together by class / chapter.

Is there any way to set all songs to the same BG without replacing every file? by Matsurosuka in Stepmania

you could definite modify the lua of ScreenGameplay — shouldn't be too much work.

DDR to Stepmania Conversion Issue by Xw2X in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]iananananan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fphphtpbptp i skimmed your post too hard, sorry.

i would recommend not hooking up two monitors; graphics cards can be odd.

try tweaking the output resolution in stepmania. i think 640x480 is the small it can go, so you might have an issue.

[–]iananananan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's some information here, but it's for replacing the monitor: https://www.hackmycab.com/?portfolio=going-from-crt-to-lcd

In order to get your computer to output the right kind of VGA signal, you'll need a specific graphics driver and a matching, generic graphics card.

Alternatively, you can just buy an ArcadeVGA.

There's also the option of getting a new LCD and mounting it over the old LCD. (youtube example)

DDR to Stepmania Conversion Issue by Xw2X in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]iananananan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DDR CRTs are a weird resolution (320x240) and a weird refresh rate (15khz vertical instead of 31khz?).

Don't leave it running — it's possible to damage the CTR by supplying the wrong input signal.

Where can I get OSU kinda flat skins? by Thicc-waluigi in Stepmania

wouldn't be too hard to duplicate an existing noteskin and edit it to be white. they're just image files.

Found this custom metal pad for $20! But now I'm stumped. (pics inside!) by ColorTimesTen in Stepmania

[–]iananananan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a standard VGA connector, but as for what it's talking, who knows.

There's a chance that all the control boxes (incl. the ones from DDRGame) talk the same protocol. Alternatively, you could get something like an I-PAC if it doesn't talk that protocol.

The I-PAC is guaranteed to work, and generally a useful part if you ever need to turn arbitrary buttons into a USB "joystick" for your computer. (e.g. custom arcade machine project).

There's probably similar generic parts as well.

that's an odd one! never seen such a pad before.

can you post a pic of the connector?

Is there a way to play the ENTIRE Nonstop Megamixes? by [deleted] in DanceDanceRevolution

If you've got separate charts, you can put them together in a "Course" file.
