Hacked ZSNES to use something like Perlin noise....Emulates the TV effect in Kega Fusion quite well.
Switch it onto "Smoke" for the TV noise effect....

got hardware depth buffer copies working with framebuffer objects. Go me.
Then I have to hold the power button for a few seconds. Kinda tough when you can't do anything.
At least I'm pretty sure it's the hard drive. Had this problem a couple years ago with Windows installed on the same drive. Thought I'd dig it out and give it another try.
I have the most computer problems.

void fred(int arg) {
int a = {arg+1};
int i = {1};
int j[] = {1};
char s[] = {"hello"};
char t[] = "hello";
}
all completely valid. Woo.

Found another CD, this one from '05, so a total of 102 tracks now. I will put 'em up when I get the chance.

Reader Rabbit 1:
Plays without sound. I can't figure out why. It's supposed to be "IBM/Tandy & compatibles Version."
The Playroom (with Playworld demo):
The portion that should work (The Playroom) doesn't load because of a missing abc.dat file. I can't find the original install discs. Probably trashed. This version of the game doesn't exist on the internet. I swear.
Treasure Mathstorm!:
I own the CD version which has crappy General MIDI. The old FM sound is sweet.
Treasure Galaxy!:
...doesn't exist on the internet. Never actually owned it, but somehow I had it on my computer at some point way back. It was too new to be a DOS game. It was released on a CD. The only remnant left that I could find from the old Windows 95 install was a program icon of a little yellow star dude. :(
Like a VRAM usage meter. In ASM. So there is no bloat and no bloated dependancies.
Neat eh? If people want it, they can ask.
SmartOne: I really don't know why I reformat so much. It just makes me feel better :O

After the false positive virus and wading through the hacker/cRaCKeR crap (never understood why they type like that,) I found the fully working DOS version! Comparing my remnant icon TGXWINCD.ICO to this version's TGX.ICO, I must have played a newer, CD version. This one was originally on three floppies and the evil install/extract program insisted the game be installed from floppies. Evil.
Anyway, finally got the files extracted, and it works!
Now, if only you could find The Playworld/Playroom, figure out why Reader Rabbit doesn't have sound, and find the version of HyperStudio with the old tape deck.

Told you I have the most computer problems.
Is your computer situated:
a) over an ancient burial ground
b) on a fault line
c) underwater
If you answered with any of the above options, the problem may be with your computer's environment. Try moving it to a cool, dry, stable, non-haunted area.

PS3 version of The Orange Box is only 720p.
However, I've read that Microsoft likes to advertise the up-scaled resolution instead of the native resolution, like Sony does. Apparently the Xbox 360 up-scales everything. Basically false advertising. We'll see what EA has to say about their crappy PS3 port (the crappiest part is a huge sound distortion glitch that makes the game unplayable after an indefinite amount of playtime.)
Sounds like another reason to dislike the Microsoft Xbox, with the STILL UNRESOLVED Red Ring of Death. I witnessed one this past week. Third one for those people.
The Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories streams generously provided by arbingordon have pops in them, just like in-game. Maybe Mr. Square-Enix Sound Guy should listen to the files after he encodes them? That's just too obvious.
What happened to quality assurance?
Now, the irony:
This is an IBM printer, said logo is right on the front of the machine.
This isn't surprising since SQEX has done a bad job at looping streams sometimes. Actually, It's quite common in games such as Unlimited Saga, Dawn of Mana, KH Re:CoM, Musashi: Samurai Legend. and even Final Fantasy XIII has noticable clicking at the loop.

nintendo 64: 11 years old and only the cpu fan is rattling probably for being dusty. Only froze because of action replay, 3rd party controller+controller pak or particular game bugs. Transfer pak is unstable.
playstation 2: froze a few times and i have to be careful with the Soul Calibur III PAL save-file bug . Controller is malfuctioning lil' bit.
xbox: if i ignore morrowind crashes seems to have disc read errors a lot. Could read audio cd-rw's, not cd-r's, but can't do that anymore.
xbox 360: so many disc reading errors. I moved the box further away from the subwoofer and the reading errors are less common. This has often to do with the layout of files on the disc and how the game reads them that he needs to move the disc laser all the time which he doesn't like. Still got a few hard crashes even on xbox live arcade games.
gamecube: no issues besides about 2 crashes. I don't use it much anymore since i can play it on the wii.
wii: many disc read errors, especially with Super Paper Mario and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Makes a lot of noise when reading discs.
You don't happen to live in a lint trap, do you?

I've had speakers mess up a TV. They were pressed against it though and unshielded. It made certain sections have a green tint to them. I had never heard of the problem until it happened to me.
You only need to worry if the speakers are unshielded. For example, some surround sound systems come with shielded speakers for the ones that will be in front (and likely near other equipment), and unshielded for the ones in the rear. I'm not sure if sub-woofers are ever shielded, so you may want to investigate that.
Suffice it to say, I basically couldn't see anything on the screen properly. =/
So I moved it 1 metre behind it and it was fine.

Currently, I'm attempting to clean out from beneath my desk, which contains wires, cables, cords, notebooks, a phone, miscelaneous paper, USB cables and attachments, a Gamecube, and a UPS. Oh, and a LEGO box, 2 PCs (3 including a laptop I don't use anymore), 2-3 power supplies (only one of which is in use), a VCR, some hard drives which aren't hooked up (one of which doesn't work), and, if I recall correctly, a picture in a frame. I'm probably forgetting something (I didn't include dust bunnies, but they're there too), but that sort of gives an idea of how terribly disorganized the area under my desk is.
Wish me luck? Mouser X over and out.
In other words, not well. I picked it up the other day, and was disappointed at how much I had lost. :/ Mouser X over and out.
The question, then, is at what frequency does this setup become illegal? If it is 1 cycle per day, we essentially have a lending library with a maximum checkout time of (one day) / (interested parties), which the apparatus simply makes more convenient than returning to a central location. Does it become illegal when the physical eye no longer notices the absence? What what about when it persists long enough for a single paragraph to be read and mulled over in the intervening delay? What if it is a reference work, where requests for entries are queued up and the entry is only displayed to one person long enough to read, then automatically passing on to the next client? That much could be done mechanically with the physical book, even.
I'm proposing that this can all be done without mechanically copying information. These things would be easier to do if we substitute a video camera, easier still if we allow the book to be stored digitally, but these involve making copies in some sense, while I assume that the natural action of photons is not so construed. I suppose the optical lending library might infringe anyway, if any device allowing access by a number of people, even serially, to the same book is criminal no matter how closely it is an analog to something that is allowed when less convenient. That convenience factor was something I was trying to get at with the frequency argument.
This site is useful for such things: http://www.findjar.com

I want to find the official package and download it from Sun, but ironically, everything on Sun's website (outside of Java Standard Edition) is a heap of confusing open-source this mixed with open-source that, randomly named OPEN SOURCE YAY program this, acronym that, and inconsistent Java versioning and naming. Their website even lacks a consistent design.
Maybe it's just me.
New games just aren't very appealing anymore.

does anyone have more tools from CRI MIDDLE-WARE?
i need them real bad because im modding biohazard4 for my old PS2....anyway i have a good amount of skills for ripping and stomping on the games...hopefully
but im not that good...not like the guys at PS2 mods paradise.
E-mail me please anyone who will help me!
im growing to love the ADX format..don't care about file size,, because anyone with brains would understand who's going to win in the audio world.
fuck ogg & mp3's....so LAME....HA!
trust me.. almost all gaming companies are switching to CRI~!
Just wait..... the ADX format is slowly changing to make smaller files. you'll see....anyway its getting easier to pass around big files because of evolution baby!
Think Dylan had a song about this...
Oh, but they realized this, it was an intentional design decision, so rather than remove it as soon as you click the button, a dialog box pops up saying:
"This operation cannot be undone. Do you wish to proceed?"
with Yes/No buttons.
What operation? If I hit the "delete row" button by mistake, which is about all this kind of dialog is good for, when I really meant the "delete column" button, I will get the exact same dialog. Yes, I had intended to do some operation, but which?
Also, this is a modal dialog. It steals focus from the main window, so the blinking cursor which would tell you which row or column you have chosen to delete is hidden, and you can't get it back without dismissing the dialog.
-----
Consider two icons:
- An empty file folder hanging open at 45 degrees, with an arrow indicating an opening motion.
- A blank sheet of paper, upper left corner dog-eared, with a pencil pointing near the bottom.
What do these mean? The folder looks pretty obviously like it is opening, I would guess that this would open an existing document. And the blank sheet of paper with a pencil... seems like that would make a new document and start editing it. I'm wrong (every time, I have to summon up the tooltips). The folder is "new", and the pencil and paper is "edit".
-----
Say I need to look at two documents at once. I've got two monitors for just this purpose, and Notes has the feature to break a document out its main window into its own window (Open In New Window), which I can drag over to the other monitor. All's well, this works OK, though the phrasing of the command doesn't tell you that it removes the tab from the other window.
So I Alt-Tab between the windows, merrily scrolling each along as I compare them. I begin to get confused, however, as it becomes apparent that I don't actually have any visual indication of which is the active window. Somehow Alt-Tabbing between these two Notes windows leaves the title bars of both in the active state. When viewing a document no cursor is displayed (unless a link is highlighted), so there is no indication of which window has focus.
-----
There's lots more where that came from, these are just the ones I encountered in the space of a few minutes which spurred me to write this up. Maybe these are fixed in Notes 8, which we are being required to update to in a week, but I double doubt it.
Table operations can be undone, the edit icon is gone and the new icon looks like a page with a little plus sign in the upper left, and alt-tab works normally.
Plus! selection works like every other application on earth (rather than sometimes involving highlighting, sometimes involving little check marks).
Still wouldn't wish it on anyone, though.
