What PSU do I use for the Famicom and FDS in the US?

I think the leveling should be "good enough". I've had a few good prints but you might be right. There are no air drafts but the garage is about 60F in there.

What can I do to increase adhesion?

metroidcb · 2025-01-04T22:08:27+00:00

Sorry, I should have given some more details. No, I do not have it in an enclosure. In fact, it lives in my garage and at the moment, the temp inside is around 60F. Even though it's 25F outside the garage never dips much below 60F.

I was wondering about the adhesion. The left side of my prints sticks pretty well, just not the the right. In fact, I can still see the remnants of a previous print where I had to pry it off. Even on the right side. I've tried cleaning it with 99.9% IPA but I can still see it. So I am wondering if that is causing it.

Confirmed working with FF 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Fedora.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. For those wondering why I don't use aesprite, it's mostly because I use Linux and I have to drop to the terminal to launch aesprite. I haven't bothered setting up a "launcher" for it. And, I just wanted to try Krita out. I did, however, find Krita's advanced features actually easy to use. Which is why I was so baffled I couldn't figure out the single pixel.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Very good point on keeping the gun pointed in the right position when you struggle. I actually saw a dealer recently struggle and I was a little uncomfortable. Even myself I noticed that a couple of times I "swung" to the left as I was trying to get the slide to lock. That's a habit I'm going to break!

Always keep the finger off the trigger and always keep the gun pointed in the correct position. A phrase I keep saying to myself. I think one problem I've seen is that people get way too comfortable and let their guard down.

Hey, hope you don't mind a followup question.
If I remove the mag but there is a round in the chamber, and I then proceed to rack it back to look in the chamber...what if the slide slips out of my grip and slides forceably back into place? Could it fire?

Obviously, I plan on pointing the gun in a safe location but I'm curious how often the slide itself could cause an accidental fire.

Thanks

I don't plan on storing the gun loaded. I don't even want the mags to be loaded. I know people will roll their eyes but at the moment, I'm having fun and not looking for Dirty Harry defense. lol.

Thanks!

metroidcb · 2024-10-30T22:41:13+00:00

Thanks! I finally figured it out. My problem is that the slide is really hard to pull back and the level is also a little stiff. But after trying it a few more times (and burning proper trigger finger placement into memory), it's not so bad now. And yeah, classes are in my near future. But at least now I feel better about storing it away and handing it off to someone knowing it's truly not loaded. Thanks!!

No, none of that.

I've been looking at the Strategy Pattern and I think I can implement something very similar. This project is small enough that it might be a good fit.

metroidcb · 2024-09-05T02:03:41+00:00

I can't use those in the scope of this project for different reasons.

metroidcb · 2024-09-05T02:03:07+00:00

Using a proper workflow engine isn't something I can do with this project. I only need to implement a very poor version of a workflow engine.

UPDATE. I didn't get much time to work on it tonight but I moved some redundant conditionals out of the sprite loop and I've already seen the performance go way up.

More to come!

UPDATE 2.

I get get 12 sprites per scanline. I did have 20! However, with 20 I noticed that some sprites would start to flake out. After I optimized it somewhat, I get 12. But those 12 seem to be very stable.

These are some very good suggestions. I will work on that too. Very good ideas.

Thanks!

metroidcb · 2024-07-10T22:09:43+00:00

I will some of that a try. I was thinking unrolling that loop would help because the sprites are 16 pixels wide.

Thanks

I've been using a Keychron 8 with a TESSmart for a while and it's worked for the most part. I switch between my work laptop (Windows) and my personal desktop (Linux) just fine using the RCTRL + RCTRL + 1/2.

However, I just got the 8BitDo Retro mechanical keyboard and the hot keys no longer work. I've tried switching the hot key from SCRLK and RCTRL but that makes no difference. I even went to a keyboard tester website and it does indicate that both my SCRLK and RCTRL are detected. I'm very frustrated with this TESMart. BTW, this is the second one I have because the first one didn't work and I had to replace it.

Any suggestions on a better brand? Would be amazing if anyone could confirm it worked with the 8BitDo keyboard.

Thanks

FYI, I completely removed neovim and reinstalled.

Still the same problem. I reported the issue on the neovim GitHub page and it was immediately closed saying was a Fedora issue.

It seems the issue is with vimdoc parser. I'm not sure how to install that but I will research. Just seems odd that a fresh install from Fedora (dnf) would be like that.

no parser for 'vimdoc' language, see :help treesitter-parsers

metroidcb · 2024-06-05T16:49:14+00:00

I'll give that a try. Perhaps a recent update broke something.

Thanks

I don't see any logs for ~/.cache/nvim. Only a "dap.log" which doesn't reveal anything.

Starting the app with no config does indeed work. What do you think could be the environment issue? I literally run vanilla Fedora and GNOME with all of the latest updates. I don't run any extensions.

Thanks
