Am I doing something wrong? You are comparing one of the modified versions (cannot tell which one) with the original, not with the other modified ROM. I thought the objective was to make a fake that looks like a real, not a fake that looks like another fake. Coming up with two files with matching h...

Here is a practical example: I uploaded patches one and two . Apply them to the US localization of Super Mario World. The resulting ROMs have the following properties: - Both have the same MD5 hash. - Both have the same CRC32 checksum. - Both have good internal checksum. - Both are fully functional...

To spoof one method, you have to change/rearrange data. To spoof the second method, you have to change the data again, but that will screw up the other spoof. Spoofing both simultaneously is much more difficult than spoofing each individually. QFT. Think about it - you can generate an md5 collision...

* RSA-1024 is busted Really? What are its factors, then? Please tell me in private so I can claim the $100,000 bounty when it's offered again :D (they've only broken a 200-decimal digit one with the equivalent of 75 PC work-years, RSA-1024 has 309 and the problem is exponential, not linear.) Appare...

as far as a set of default plugins that might be chosen to ship with the emulator, the peops ones are a good choice. The peops soft gpu plugin is highly compatible, and ought to be very portable.

Really, all this angst over refining the process should be dumped in favor of the most straightforward readable implementation, and optimized if it comes up in performance profiling.

It's great and all to talk about how important it is to have a specification, but a specification that is not based on a reference implementation is begging for trouble.

Paper specifications are just that - so much paper.

Ok, im looking to organise a revival of PCSX, Code will be stored on a googlecode svn, and im looking for any interested developers, since im more a project manager and code tinkerer, than active developer. I went ahead and checked out the code, and it doesn't build on linux. So I'm just poking aro...

agreed - linked list. { delta_time_to_expire, event, next*} insertions are cheap, and you can't DO a binary search on a (classical) delta queue for insertions because you don't know the accumulated time delay on any particular event - only the time delta from the prior event. If you expected your qu...

as of 0.38, you need to

Try compiling it in LLVM instead of gcc. It's a real chore to set up these compilers and build bsnes with them. Especially when there's a good chance it'll be slower / not work / etc. I don't suppose someone here could try, and let me know how it goes? I'll give it a shot. apt-getting it right now....

Try compiling it in LLVM instead of gcc. I think the two relevant features are: 1. "Front-ends for C and C++ based on the GCC 3.4 and 4.0.1 parsers. They support the ANSI-standard C and C++ languages to the same degree that GCC supports them. Additionally, many GCC extensions are supported. &qu...

If possible, use a single counter and a single "next necessary update count" variable to batch updates. A hierarchical event system may be even better. When I had to simulate a circuit we were designing in college, I tried to do it with a hierarchal event system. I found it harder to debu...

The readme ought to be completely reasonable to localize.

The license, for some very good reasons, probably should not be localized.

so you are saying giving the right conditions humans could be much more than they are? That's interesting.

More? Probably not. Functionally different? Yes.

but you forget, in the DNA of a creature there is always the original bluprint, even if that particular one is mutated, even after generation the original schematics are still in the DNA. Furthermore if evolution comes from loss of information it would dead end and there is no way it could create n...

I'm rather fond of F. Scott Fitzgerald's quote Let me make a general observation - the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. I also think it's stupid to expect religion to teach you about the...

byuu, would you be interested in a windows installer for bsnes?

Wrap everything up nice in a little windows installer package, create a start menu shortcut, and lets people uninstall it from the windows Add/Remove programs tool?

The vibe I got from sitting in churches and bible study for nearly a decade was that the Bible is pretty clear on things like God being infallible, and his laws eternal. The Holy Bible seems to back me up on that as well. Are you proposing that only the "fundamentalists" believe this? I w...

For religious folk, fact = faith = immutable. For scientific folk, facts can change. No matter what they are, no matter how sure we are that we're right about something. Fact isn't as concrete a concept. I think you're vastly overgeneralizing the "religious community" as far as fact = fai...

I think mysticism is no less prevalent today than it was 1000, 2000, or 3000 years ago. Hold "religion" aside entirely for a moment, there's herbal supplements, essential oils, PETA, some sects of environmentalism, etc. And we bandy the word science around, but I'm reasonably certain that ...

One point I wanted to get across, and didn't really succeed at, is that you can't (successfully) legislate society. Simply passing a law doesn't change how society as a whole feels or acts. Prohibition for example - alcohol wasn't just a product, it had become a part of our society, and passing a la...

Gambling: A state issue Narcotics: A federal issue Gay marriage: A state issue Polygamy: A federal issue I'm trying to find a pattern here. What distinguishes something from being a states rights issue (let states decide for themselves, and if you disagree with it and it's important enough for you, ...

frankly, it seems to me that the only reason this is an argument at all is because homosexuals want the same legal benefits (including visitation etc, the whole nine yards) as everyone else, and religious people just want to maintain their personal views on what a sacred marriage is (aka, the whole...

And if one is against gays having kids ... TFB. There have been no unbiased studies that show same sex couples to be worse parents or raise worse-off kids. If a child is shown to be in bad care with any kind of parents -- take them away. That simple. Feel free to discriminate who gets kids when the...
