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!!!

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.

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

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:

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.
-
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.

All data is compressed by overlapping the data blocks.Does this mean that, in order to get the 6th frame of animation for a sprite you must iterate through frames 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

Sure, you can take meds instead of eating better foods (which don't have to taste bad). The meds will bring you closer to game over. The meds will cause more problems and more meds.
Find better, healthier, tastier foods or get strung along by the medical system.

Any plans to fool around with the DPC+ stuff?

Congrats on getting a competent doc. It really is luck of the draw at some clinics.
I thought dig dug was pretty mainstream. Up there with Pac man. Okay, maybe not.. but, at least as popular as Mr. Do!

I can't listen to music while programming. I need silence.
I don't actually listen. It's just enough distraction - yet orderly enough to keep me in the zone. Four songs. Endlessly repeating. You wouldn't know if it's been 15 minutes or 7 hours.

Okay. Done editing the main page. Feels good to be AHEAD of where I was last weekend. Going over cycle was a terrible setback as everything needed to be rewritten.
Despite being up past 4am I still need to pull another stretch tomorrow. Wish me luck!

When a player ship becomes grounded due to zero shields the morale gauge of the city goes down. It's game over when the moral gauge goes to zero. Have a game over screen. Tweaking the graphics there. Fixed an invincibility bug where player ship 1 became immortal whilst player ship 2 refuels.
Starting to make stupid mistakes. Surrender time may be nearing..

Tweaked when the boss spawns. Should be long enough to space out difficulty. Trying to implement damaging the city. Experimenting with damage rates.
Hungry.. didn't really eat dinner. Ack! Can of salmon maybe?

Boss is moving around and shooting lasers. Playing around with when it spawns. Refueling is implemented. Still have to get damage to the city registered.
Pretty much we're eating into quality sleep time now.

Monday is here. The end? Not so near..
Created the boss sprite and lasers. Working on integrating boss spawns now. Used up a variable for a "supercounter" that counts up once when the normal counter reaches 255. After a certain period a boss encounter will happen. When you defeat the boss things get faster.

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