| I'm pretty sure it doesn't, except possibly the bootcode. Somehow the N64 knows enough to copy a small boot-program from the cartridge into memory which is responsible for loading the rest (since N64 doesn't run from cartridge directly); I'm pretty sure it just loads code from a specific place in the ROM though. Most cartidge ROMs are just all the data and resources globbed together in a format, order and position known only to their own programming. (The exceptions to this being the NES which often stores graphic and program data separately, on different chips, and the DS which uses a real filesystem.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| It's normal that a game might run slower at more (or less) than 1x size. Stretching an image takes a lot more CPU power than drawing it normally. A smart enough emulator would use normal drawing methods for 1x size and only stretch at others. (I've been working on an emulator myself, and I found a near 3x speed jump using normal drawing (BitBlt) over stretching (StretchBlt); a more complex/complete/working emulator would probably see an even bigger difference.)

| That is rather anal. I'd probably have something similar set up, but it wouldn't be "omg this site has 'proxy' on the page ur expelled"... Just log something for the admins to investigate. You never know when someone has a legitimate reason for doing something that seems wrong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hmm... So we're to draw new graphics for certain Mario characters, and submit them to you, and they must be ready to use in an SMB1 ROM? Hmmmmmm..... |

I'd just use a list control but with tabs instead of columns.  Using them with a fixed-width font and padding things with spaces, you can 'fake' the columns.DP's idea is good too... Only need to add 3 characters. 0D/F102 D9 F9 F9 CMP $F9F9,y [$0D:F9FB=42] A:0062 X:0000 Y:0002 |

If that's your entire source, then yeah, that's the problem. It's one of the dumber-seeming (but actually not that dumb) things about C. You have to declare functions twice; once as a prototype and once as the function itself. Generally you'd use a header file for this. (I just stick them all in main.h  but I do sort by file.) Basically you write a function:void DoSomethingUseful()Then you copy everything up to the ), paste into the header file, and add a semicolon: void DoSomethingUseful();It's simple enough. It will get you from time to time; generally you'll get errors saying declarations don't match and/or are declared in odd places if you change one and not the other. |

| Pretty harsh, but mostly right. There are appropriate uses for < Possibly even < One thing he barely touched on, though, that needs a lot more attention - Flash. Many Flash users need to be tortured and killed. Specifically, these offenses (ordered from least to most torture): -Flash intros ...That you can't skip ...With sound -Flash navigation bars ...With no HTML version -Entire sites in Flash ...With no HTML version -Flash ads This also reminds me of one site I came across on Google. It managed to semi-crash Firefox (not actually crashed, but it thought it was  ) by using about 10,000 different animated GIFs (many off-site), a few megabytes of CSS, and every combination of font sizes and colours imaginable. The entire page must have been 10 MB or so, it stretched on for MILES, and not to mention, a whopping 47 'random site wants to set a cookie' prompts. The worst part is, this wasn't one of those pages meant to crash browsers - it was a real attempt at a good web page.  I think it was something along the lines of sinisterfonts.com if anyone wants to look, but watch it.[Disclaimer: I'm probably exaggerating a bit, my memory sucks. ] |

Well I tried that PE Module Explorer. Very, very happy to say windres didn't have any complaints about its output, and its GUI is decent too. (Lacks some features, but ehh.) Problem is I can't get the dialog to show up. DialogBox() returns -1 and GetLastError() is 0./* main.h */I compile like so: echo Building resources...(Some lines have been split up to not stretch the page. Anyone know how to put a horizontal scrollbar in there? )MSDN says the function returns -1 (actually, "Â?1"; I assume that's supposed to be -1) on error, but I'm not getting any errors. )[edit] Interesting dump of the window messages: WM_SETFONT 0x320A0BC2 0x00000000 WM_COMMAND 0x04000002 0x00F70194 WM_COMMAND 0x03000002 0x00F70194 WM_DESTROY 0x00000000 0x00000000 WM_NCDESTROY 0x00000000 0x00000000 (edited by R2H2 on 05-06-05 01:47 PM) (edited by R2H2 on 05-06-05 01:49 PM) (edited by R2H2 on 05-06-05 07:39 PM) |

| 1280x1024 and it stretches. I just think that all admins should be considered equal (or close) to Acmlm, and not have to wait for him to OK everything. If the admins need his permission, then there's really no point in them being admins at all. The biggest problem we have is that as soon as pretty much anything is done, people bitch as if someone wrecked their board. Well gues what, they didn't. They wrecked their board. Unless you happen to be in charge, you are a guest here, and if you don't like it, tough. Not to say that member opinions should be ignored by any means, but to some extent, they should. It's gotten to the point where we can't do much of anything because of peoples' reactions. Most major changes I know of, including the appointment of new staff, is voted on in a public poll first. If things don't turn out the way you like well that's just too damn bad; the majority agrees so the rest can kindly shut their pie holes. And for those things that aren't voted on, keep in mind that the decisions are being made by staff members who are voted in. You chose them because you thought they'd be a good choice, if you've changed your mind, it's your problem. Also:   from rendering all these damn smilies. |

| I agree for the most part... Those who are banned shouldn't be able to do anything except PM admins about why they're banned, and if they abuse that, then ban them from that too. And only admins. Maybe then there'll be less LMs/FMs being bugged about it. |

Too much electricity will fry a LED (and sometimes the power supply |
), or even a resistor. Unfortunately you can't block a range of current, only reduce all current by a given amount. Nor can you change a resistor's resistance, unless it's a variable resisitor (usually used for volume controls and the like).

It is suspicious, yes, but I would think if they were doing anything unusual someone would have noticied. I'm sure equally suspicious people have disassembled their software to hell and back. |
Personally, I'd support Google taking over stuff. They do things RIGHT. User-friendly and powerful at the same time, and most importantly, IT WORKS! Hell, just click-and-drag satellite maps alone put them ahead of a lot of people. (edited by R2H2 on 05-06-05 03:37 PM)

Shutting down like that can corrupt the filesystem, which can cause this. If you use the recovery console on the install disk, it has some programs that can fix it; I think it's fixmbr and fixntfs. |

I have on-board intel on my desktop, and it crashes viewing large amounts of files in thumbnail view. That should say more than enough about how well it handles 3D games. |
