[Microvision homebrew? (part 4)]

I'm confused as well. Is the plan to emulate the TMS1000 + game ROM with the propeller chip?

[Microvision homebrew? (part 2)]

I think the main problem is how delicate the carts are. The CPU is on the cart!

[Microvision homebrew? (part 2)]

Weren't the Microvision carts actually the system itself (CPU and all)? You may as well make your own Pocket LCD system from Arduino parts and simulate the whole unit.

[From Qbasic to Commodore Basic v2.0]

How about making user functions that would work on both QuickBASIC and C64? Wouldn't that be one way of making cross platform games?

[March Savings]

I don't geddit. Didn't you set up a system a record over the air content and play it back whenever you please?

[The dog is going.]

I'm sure she's an awesome lady if you can live together. However, some people have this quirk where they check out pets like movie rentals. I don't quite understand it myself

[Next XBox will install all games to hard drive]

I've used the copy to hard drive feature on Fallout: New Vegas and it still seemed to use the disc. Hopefully they really, really will use this feature this time.

[The dog is going.]

Sometimes the only way you know you don't want a pet is to own one. I guess.

[What really was possible in the 80's]

The fact is, he gave up on making a proper NES game and updating his NESHLA software for development. Took the easy route out and went modern console.

 

I don't mean to complain that he didn't offer the complete game in playable form. I mean that he didn't offer verifiable proof that this isn't more press for his modern console offering.

[Next XBox will install all games to hard drive]

I smell used games control in here somewhere. Too bad MS and Sony are smart enough not to reveal at launch..

[Jay Leno Makes Me Sick]

It stopped being the Tonight Show a long time ago. I haven't even bothered since Johnny left us.

[Get in the Zone!]

We need to MAKE our own, dawg! Take an Arduino UNO and add a Wii controller adapter and TV out cable. All off the shelf parts. Cheap. The LANDVISION is born!!!

[My Vaporware]

Not quite sure what the Chimera was. It sounds like you may be able to make a custom firmware for the Harmony to do some of the things you wanted.

[Disney gets something right]

Something right? Disney gets ALL the rights. Why do you think copyrights got extended to 95 years?

[GBA stuff]

It's not you. I think the GBA scene pretty rapidly ditched in favor of the NDS. I hope you DO find some active GBA C devs. Please keep us posted.

[GBA stuff]

I think you may have mentioned your GBA troubles in a different topic. I can't find it now so forgive me for repeating my advice.

 

Try DragonBASIC instead of C. I did alot of reseach and found these links to get you started:

[AtariVox+]

It got done. ..and, I'm sure that OCD helped with the quality I can't wait to make AtariVox enabled 2600 games!

[Life stinks right now.]

Depends on the animals personalities, obviously. The real time to decide on having BOTH cats and dogs is when they're both babies. Growing up together usually sorts out territorial issues.

 

As a side I hope you're not giving up because of other people. Do it because you're tired of researching what you need to know. Do it because you're lazy - just don't blame other people. It's nice when help happens but peeps can't be counted on for your own personal projects.

 

Not preaching here. I've had experiences where people I thought were mentors actually turned out to be morale crushingly unhelpful. It wasn't even that they held anything against me. It was purely my over-reliance on them.

[Beyond HDTV monitors]

I switched to projectors years ago. Never looked back. Never pined for 4096x9078 resolution. Once you have a wall as your screen nothing else matters.

[The most boring song ever released]

Is this something creative people do? Sit through the most mind numbing experience possible so their thoughts gush out under the sheer pressure of banality?

[What really was possible in the 80's]

I failed to find the ROM download. Didn't happen until the public actually gets to play it

[Eat More Bananaz]

Maybe you need to have EAT reflected to display properly. After a DRAWSCREEN the REFP0 or REFP1 value reverts back to 0 instead of 8. I actually sometimes rely on it resetting in my code to simplify things.

[Playstation 4 musings]

I'm not sure any console has ever outperformed PCs of the same era. When each major component of the PC costs as much as the console, I would hope the performance is better. However, it's tough to buy a PC which costs the same as the console but delivers similar performance.

 

The real question for the PS4 is whether developers can create games which leverage eight lower horsepower processors along with any available GPGPU capabilities.

 

Since most can't handle multi threading on a PC the answer seems clear

[Playstation 4 musings]

I see more creativity under platforms with no restrictions. What benefit is there to be heavily fined to get licensed and arbitrarily judged by that same company even before the consumer plays my product? I wouldn't buy a locked down PC. That's what Sony is offering.

[Playstation 4 musings]

x86 is much more familiar to game developers than the weird architecture of the PS3. I don't approve of zero backwards compatatibity though. I grew up with that expectation. Also, I'd never buy a locked down PC. That's what the next generation from Sony and MS is.
