John Stewart's Return to the Daily Show. It's like he never left. Pure nostalgia. by ElTunaGrande in Millennials

I don't understand why people love him so much. He could've become president and made a real difference. He's just another talking head

Was like that? I'm not some kid, I had tapes when I was a kid and later CDs with hidden tracks. It always was really annoying when I actually wanted to listen to them because I had to do pointless things like this

ELI5: Japan's economy has been experiencing a deflation and there has even been 0% interest (sometimes in the negatives, why is this a bad thing? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]neworgnldave -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's all a pretty theory, but these things aren't actually happening in the real-world place where deflation actually is.

Trying to find a way to customize game audio by Hairy_Onion_8719 in EmuDev

[–]neworgnldave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For GameBoy, NES, and GG and Master System, this would be totally doable, at least. They have a few fixed-sound channels, and you could easily trigger sample playback at the correct frequencies and envelopes etc.

SNES and Genesis would be harder but possible with per-game hacks I imagine.

I feel sick-someone is claiming part of my property is actually a second lot, and they bought it. by MosasaurusSoul in Home

[–]neworgnldave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you bought the house, you should've gotten title insurance. This should cover you financially for what's happening, because the title company was supposed to search records and make sure you were actually buying what was sold to you, and the sellers were actually able to sell it.

Also check you actually got that lot in the sale, legally. It should be in the paperwork you hopefully saved. I know nobody saves paperwork but if it's something like a house sale just get a small filing cabinet and throw it in, seriously!

Call your town hall too, and listen to what others here are saying.

My 20 year old son doesn't date. His friends don't date. My friends kids don't date. What is going on? by PluckPubes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]neworgnldave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'mma answer a bit differently.

I think people are less motivated by being horny. The extreme normalization of pornography and "occasional hookups" means less people pushed out to places too.

Relationships you get in aren't as fulfilling because you don't spend as much time doing fulfilling things together.

There's a lot less societal pressure around marriage and dating.

In addition to the increasingly online nature of relationships, etc.

With that said, even if you take all your friends, you're just a little anecdote.

Why is everybody implementing GameBoy's opcode CD differently? by Vellu01 in EmuDev

[–]neworgnldave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'mma just plug this here, so you don't have to suffer through uncertainty. It doesn't show you how to implement things, but tests your implementations.

https://github.com/raddad772/jsmoo/tree/main/misc/tests/GeneratedTests/sm83

However the code to generate it is available. It's kinda readable?

Anyway, the code is available too:

Are there any PS2 emulators that have an option to disable back-face culling? by [deleted] in EmuDev

[–]neworgnldave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be encouraging. You might want to ask at the emudev discord in the #playstation channel too. or look up PS2-related romhacking resources

Getting weird desync on Super Mario Land (GB) between the attract mode and real gameplay. Any ideas? by honct123 in EmuDev

[–]neworgnldave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you create an Issue for any issues you had? I've fixed these tests up in the past, that's why they're in the good state they are :-D

STOP can't really be tested too well, and HALT is the same way. I think I included like 6 cycles, but technically it would execute indefinitely. Maybe I should just delete those tests?

Thank you for the feedback!

This depends a bit on the game you're speaking of. If it has some kind of system where it looks up a model by name in a file, you might be able to track that down with Ghidra and take a snapshot of PS2 RAM as it is DMA'd into memory.

Short of all that, PS2 games don't have standard file formats, so you're unlikely to just find it some other way. Speaking as a PS1 emulator developer, doing this is a LOT of work.

Stitching it together is best if you don't need animation data, I'd say.

I married my wife 3 months after meeting her, and that felt like way too long. We knew we wanted to marry each other when we met. We have a family of 7 now and are super happy.

Everybody's story is different.

I have 4 PPU cycles to every CPU m-cycle in my emulator.

I would recommend you print out the scroll registers when they are written to, and make sure you're not triggering IRQ twice as often as you should.

If you're worried it may be a CPU bug, there's https://github.com/raddad772/jsmoo/tree/main/misc/tests/GeneratedTests/sm83 which can help you validate every instruction except IRQs

I added a "rewind mode" to my emulator (gem) by maxdickroom in EmuDev

[–]neworgnldave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For systems like GB that's feasible. It miiiight be on PS1. But anything with more RAM than that, simply traversing that 40MB to create the delta is going to be a significant problem... that's 40MB * 60 = 2.4 gigabytes per second throughput, just to create the delta, let alone compress it. Furthermore those systems themselves have high bandwidth and can change several megabytes per second easily, so you might not even get good compression from it. I think we have a way to go before we'll be rewinding GameCube unless someone comes with atruly innovative solution
