    Wilma

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Posted

    I was wondering, what would happen, if wilmas predicted course would slightly change a bit towards north. Then it will move all the way up the eastern coast of the US. Should be a storm only then, but what if not ?

    The entire eastcoast could be wrecked.

     

    Also i noted there is another storm nearby, heading north too. I took both 5-day-cones, sized them to the same ratio and put them on top of each other. It may happen, that Wilma sucks in the Storm Alpha. Anyone know what will happen then ?

    Well, i visited a@h once a few years ago, and i didnt find hardly anything besides fake links, trick votes and popup crap, so i have never been back there. But i have heard a lot of ugly things about that guy running a@h, many other site owners had probs with him of what i hear, so maybe its better if hes gone for good now.

    He should go into porn business and not drain us emuholys into dirt :P

    weird disconnecting prob dealing with my router

    say, why is everyone fooling around with routers ? I have a simple 8-Port-Switch here to have all my comps in the network use the internet connection of this one. I have 5 comps here and all works fine. Why does one need a router in a home-lan ?

    so that more that one device can be connect to the internet at the same time + hardware-based firewall

     

    yeah, i can surf the net from all my comps at the same time. I have 2 networking cards in my main comp, 1 for DSL the other for LAN. I have internet connection sharing enabled, made this one 192.168.0.1 and set the other 4 comps tcp/ip config to use 192.168.0.1 as standard gateway.

    Works fine, my wife spends my money on ebay while i play Joint Operations online. I use desktop firewall. theres some firewall on my mainboard, but i dont use it. So why these expensice routers are needed, i dont understand :P

    My PSP screen went blank!

    Learnt your lesson now, i suppose ? *giggles*

    ok, dont hate me. is like that. never buy electronics online for that particular reason. Had such thing once too. So now i know.

     

    Now that you are nearly doomed, check the shops warranty.

    It has warranty ? If so, contact them. If not make sure Sony only warrants their own country. If none of this works, prior trashing that thing, you could also screw it open and check for any loose stuff, maybe the vid cable just slid off ? It cant be something serious if only the display went black, and the thing still reacts to buttons and stuff.

     

    Its here: http://www.directupload.net/images/051014/56cB5DpI.jpg

    Some guy in another forum had that broke.

     

    If everything else fails try this:

    REQ: Emu coding

    yeah, Zophar lol, i wonder why that site is still online. Sure has some nice pages, but its way outdated.

    Anyway, problem for me is,the sourcecode for a fully working emu is a bit much. It has dozends of lines of codes one doesnt understand, unless you know the hardware of the emulated system in and out, up and down.

     

    I found a rather plain intro here: http://fms.komkon.org/EMUL8/HOWTO.html

     

    But i must admit that this sounds more like hard work than fun :P

    Sure, cant beat that feeling, when your emu actually plays something, but i dont know all these details about any consoles or comps hardware that seems to be needed, so screw it. Im not the guy who finds it interesting, to know how many dots an odd or even scanline may system X have in PAL and/or NTSC mode.

    Maybe i can learn to know some system, when i have nothing to do at work. Is an hour now and then, so maybe some day...

     

    Now I'd would be nice to know, what system is the most easies to emulate ?

    My guess would go on GameBoy here, afaik it has a 6502 CPU, same that was used in the C64 days and i even did some assembly back then.

    Sure forgot like everything about it in the past 15 years :P

    Im curious about emulator programming. Is there some website to get one started ? Prolly quite a dumb question, but i got no idea what to start with ?

    Opening roms and parsing the contents ?

    What about the code ? Dont i have to code the chip somehow ?

    Would greatly appreciated any help and or hints on this topic.
