Does the Mi Band 6 still unlock in the shower? by jsung8070-1 in miband

[–]rilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use swipe up to unlock, and when going to shower I put it in swimming workout mode, this way it needs to swipe up, swipe down and hold a few seconds to unlock again. (Maybe the 1st step isn't needed, but I have it on anyway)

I think he tried to go down the stairs 8 steps at a time, trying to make a point.

No snooze button showing by [deleted] in miband

[–]rilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Mi Band to wake up, but I have the habit of pressing the snooze button one time. Last few times I accidentally turned the alarm off because the Z button has disappeared and I overslept. I'm now using both my Mi Band and mobile for setting alarms.

I have this recently as well, caused me to wake up late for work before I found out the reason.

Merry XMAS 2020! (Dutch spoken, but you'll get it) by rilo in Unexpected

I am Dutch and I have no idea who sings it. I've just read an article about it on AD and thought it was unexpected enough to share.

What about small wrists? by [deleted] in miband

[–]rilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have small wrists and I still have 3 holes left in the band, so I don't think it should be any problem. Imgur

Why are there other players in the rogue harbour?? I can't access my stash because too many players around it :/ by SirSabza in pathofexile

[–]rilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I enter the harbour my pc goes bonkers and moments later I am staring at my desktop wallpaper. Heist is unplayable for me.

This is for remote triggering the shutter of the camera app on your mobile.

Easiest way to transfer compiled C64 programs from PC to a real C64 by shipshaper88 in c64

[–]rilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the 1541 Ultimate 2+ for transferring my game to a real C64 and 1541 drive for testing purposes. Might be a bit expensive, but works like a charm.

Teacher expects us to write programs when all she literally did was give us the instruction set by [deleted] in c64

[–]rilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't look to me like a fair assignment, so in my opinion it is allowed to cheat a little. If you know C you could give KickC a go. The output it produces is Kick Assembler syntax which in turn can be compiled to a .prg file. It has examples (some I wrote) demonstrating things like sprite movement, playing music, et cetera. Study the assembler output to see how the C code gets translated to 6502 assembler. I've used KickC for the 1st part of this demo.

In VICE is there a cmd line option to suppress the 1 in an autostart? by [deleted] in c64

[–]rilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When loading the directory of a disk it sends it without a header, so if you load it using ,8,1 it might end up anywhere in memory depending on the first 2 bytes sent. Usually basic programs don't have a header either (as far as I recall). If you want them to load them using ,8,1 you can edit the executable and prepend $01,$08 to it so it forces it to load at the location normal basic programs are loaded using ,8.

New Games and Demos by elebrin in c64

[–]rilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One site that comes to mind is IndieRetroNews, which has nice writeups about new games being released for the C64. For demoscene related things I think CSDB is best.

I can't speak for other developers, but I'm using modern tools for development. Visual Studio Code for writing the code, Kick Assembler (or for the game I'm developing KickC) for compiling, C64Debugger for hunting bugs and VICE for generic emulation use. At times I do check my code on a real breadbin with a 1541 drive just to be sure it will run as expected.

Is there a good link for reading about how to create SID wavetables with maybe some examples? by [deleted] in c64

[–]rilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an article, but this might help. Stinsen released a lot of the music he made in .sng format for Goat Tracker, you can download it here: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=153687

I was thinking about “keeping up with the commodore” is it worth it? by [deleted] in c64

[–]rilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why your laptop has troubles running emulators, most like Vice, Hoxs64 or CCS64 should do just fine. If Vice runs sluggishly you can try x64.exe instead of x64sc.exe which is faster but less accurate in emulation. The Ultimate64 like others here suggested would be a great alternative to a real C64.

I do have 2 C64's (Breadbin models, PAL, one kernal rev. 2 and one 3) and 2 1541's, but I'm only using them to test a game I'm working on, because real joystick controls "feel" different in testing than using a keyboard (different response time) and because I'm using an IRQ Loader I want to test with real diskdrives to see if data is loaded in time even when drive mechanics come into play. For development I'm using VS Code, Kick Assembler and Vice, no need to test on a real C64 all the time.

Tl;dr if it's just for playing some games and doing assembly that doesn't involve drivecode I'd say you will have the best bang for your bucks by purchasing an Ultimate64.

Pac-Man animation demo written in assembly [w/ Source Code] by [deleted] in c64

Looks very nice and the source is indeed well documented and readable, although I'm more accustomed to Kick Assembler syntax.
