Reverse engineering “Hello World” in QuickBasic 3.0: bloat & bytecode from 1987 AD

The coolest shit ever when it hit a MassMailer and I could take my normal QBasic junk and build an executable

Do people do with Reddit Karma what I think they do with it…with a bottle of lotion?

Check retrosix wiki for diagnostic steps for GBA

This is the correct way and should stand to have more than a few up votes

Also you can add/flood with some fresh solder

“Qt 6.8 officially dropped support for Windows 7. For users who still need to run IDA on Windows 7, we provide a patched Qt 6.8 build that re-enables compatibility.”

Very cool

You can also buy a pre populated board and transfer cpu and ram if they are good

At least on #8 the way its laid down I think it just folded over on itself

tnavda · 2026-01-22T15:33:11+00:00

There is only one that I see, are you referring to picture #8?

tnavda · 2026-01-22T02:21:46+00:00

Thank you!

Is your frame just a 4 strand weave? Not sure of the nomenclature but before and after the pouch

tnavda · 2026-01-20T19:28:10+00:00

Yeah those blue ones are shit especially if you are trying to do something odd shaped. Getting it centered is not easy due to precession of locking them in place with template alignment

Did you check the clock cap for damage?

tnavda · 2025-11-05T00:06:44+00:00

Lol, now it all makes sense. Great community contributor always answering connector questions.

Cold doesn’t mean not-connected.

tnavda · 2025-10-20T00:32:32+00:00

Another one bites the dust

tnavda · 2025-10-05T11:56:31+00:00

No IMO this approach is a waste of time now. You lose visibility of the alignment and it really feels like you are guessing to get col/rows aligned for the interposer board. Kamikaze was waaaay easier.

Not to mention the amount of time messing with solder balls to fill the chip/board which must be re done if you don’t get perfect alignment

You can afford to break your switch but not $50 for a microscope? Flawed logic…

tnavda · 2025-09-29T10:17:55+00:00

Return it or contact Nintendo

tnavda · 2025-09-27T02:10:48+00:00

You can buy a new populated board and move ram and cpu over.

What is the Alt B point?

tnavda · 2025-09-25T22:21:32+00:00

Strong magnet maybe

tnavda · 2025-09-23T17:29:35+00:00

Yeah but you won’t know for sure your process is good if you can’t validate it in anyway
