WinXP isn't really known for major bugs like that... I'd say it's a hardware problem. If it were software, it'd just be a zillion little bugs.  |

Hmm... I think that (while testing some multithreading experiments) I've discovered one of the most important rules of multithreading in VB: No two threads can reference the same function at any time. (Subclassing counts as multithreading, because a different thread calls the function.) For example, if your new thread calls a function, and at any time after that the original thread calls it, the program will crash. I'm not sure why this is (and it certainly limits functionality), but it seems to hold true throughout my experiments. Declare a function in a module somewhere and create a new thread. Have the new thread call this function, it should work fine. Now have the original thread call this function later, VB crashes. This doesn't seem to apply to variables (I managed to make one thread change the BG colour while the other changed the title, both in endless loops). The biggest problem I've found is that VB seems to crash whenever the second thread is terminated. (That, and the farking Data View window just popped up out of nowhere and appears every time I start VB now.  )BTW, if anyone knows how to play tones out of the sound card (given a specific frequency and length, being able to play multiple tones at once, and not pausing the program until it's done), I need to know.  |

| You really should leave that off, not only do people spam with it, but it contains some nasty security holes. (I'm amazed your ISP hasn't blocked it though.) | |||

| I tend to have problems sleeping, so I'll fall asleep in class because I didn't the night before. Teachers don't care much, and usually when I wake up I don't even realize I was asleep. It usually happens because I put my head down on my desk (being so tired I can't help it) while writing or listening to some boring lecture. BTW: The number one way to fall asleep is to try to stay awake. |

| I'd think he still would, though. BTW: His riches aren't all cash. They include expensive stuff he owns like houses, cars, etc. I think he only has like 40 million in cash. |

I've never really seen anything like that. I think DirectX has a function you could do that with, but I dunno how to use it and Google is no help. I managed to make it play a WAV, and there's a frequency adjust function (raise or lower the pitch), so I tried making a WAV of a constant 8000hz tone, since the default frequency was 8000 it makes the math pretty damn easy. But when I did that the default frequency changed to like 22000.  Plus, I'd prefer not using a WAV at all.As for lag or excessive CPU usage, it's not a big deal, I'm only trying to play a tone for like half a second. (Making a phone dialer program. ) |

| Did you install the RPC patch? There's a few viruses that can get you any time you connect to the Internet if you haven't, and they do that "shutdown in 60 seconds" thing. You may have even caught one right after reformatting. When the shutdown message appears, go into DOS (start -> run -> cmd.exe) and type "shutdown -a", or set the clock back a year or two. Then go to microsoft.com, just search for "blaster" and you should find the patch. |

| I found this old tape a while ago. The thread about the tech support flash reminded me of it, since his voice sounds exactly like mine at double speed. It's of me, with very little sleep (which for me is about the same as being stoned off one's ass), playing with a tape recorder that has a speed adjustment switch. It starts with something I recorded using WinXP's voice test thing, for prank phone calls, after that is me being crazy. Download here. For some reason, WinLAME (that's the program's real name ) seems to have encoded it at a rather high bitrate, and I dunno how to fix it, so it's ~1MB. Also this post puts me 666 ahead of Acmlm.

| I was wondering if anyone knows the pinout of this chip? It's a ROM chip used in Super Mario Land for Gameboy. It has this stamped on it: DMG-MLA-1 S LH5314B2 Japan B1 9039 D Any info? |

| I need a site that I can buy electronics in Canada without a credit card. I need the following parts: -32KB SRAM -8 transistors, of some sort -8 resistors -At least one diode, preferrably 17 -One of them DIP switches with 8 little switches in it -A male parallel port connector I'm going to be using them in my attempt to create a rewriteable Gameboy cartridge. It's especially important that the transistors and resistors, which will be on data and address lines, do not interfere with the data. To put it simply, due to a lack of lines the lower 8 address lines also act as the data lines (the PC is used as a ROM emulator). The transistors are used to route the lower 8 lines to address or data on the SRAM as necessary. Since the default path (when the transistors are off) is to data, I plan to put resistors on the data lines to ensure they won't be used when the address lines are open. Hence I need to be sure that none of these will interfere with the data being passed through. (Also: data lines are 2-way, address aren't. If possible I intend to put diodes on the address lines for safety, these of course must also not interfere with the data.) |

| Cool, but how do I figure out the size of the SRAM? They have like 32k x 8, what is that? I need 64 kilobytes (I said 32 before but I decided 64 would work better, then I could also have cart RAM at $A000-BFFF). BTW, if it helps, here's the schematic I've come up with so far. To explain: The D0-D15 and S at the top are parallel port lines. Since there's not enough lines for 16 address and 8 data, I've combined the lower 8 address lines with the data. Some things that aren't included in this diagram (mainly because I forgot) are that the CPU's address, data, read and write lines connect to the SRAM as normal. Also, between the transistors (T0-T7) and the SRAM's data lines are resistors. The Chip Enable, power and ground lines are omitted because they're just connected as normal. At the bottom there are switches on the Read Enable and Write Enable lines. To program the SRAM, you enable Write and disable Read, then start up the GB. When the CPU requests an address, S (read) gets pulled high. (At least I think that's how it goes, if not, I can adjust for it.) This trips all the transistors, enabling the lower address lines. The resistors on the data lines ensure the address doesn't come through them (since the address lines are now less resistant). The PC reads the address and sends back the specified byte from the ROM file (a simple ROM emulator). To start, a special loader ROM is downloaded, which jumps into RAM so that its execution won't access ROM. The program waits for a keypress, while on the PC you load the ROM you want to program. When you press a button, the program reads every byte of ROM one at a time. Since the SRAM's read is disabled, it won't return its own contents, but since write is enabled, it will copy the data that's being read. Once it's done, you enable read (and in most cases disable write), and it runs like a normal cart. Of course if anyone sees a problem with this, I'm open to suggestions. |

| Great, that's a huge help. One thing though, I see some that say "8k x 8 120ns (64kB)". Is that supposed to mean 8k or 64k? As for the GB cart, they're actually pretty simple. Which did you open? All they actually need is ROM. Mapper (usually MBCx where x=1-5) and RAM are separate. Generally the MBC is labelled as what it it, and ROM is labelled PRG. Also, when you say that a symbol next to the label means it's reversed, does that include labels that are overlined? (edited by HyperHacker on 09-20-04 12:38 AM) |

| I figure I might get one if I can find a plan (available in Ontario of course ) that suits my very low-budget needs. Basically I'm looking for something that you just buy some number of minutes, and that's about it. No (or very little) monthly/annual service charges. Also, I'd rather not have one of those crazy newfangled phones that tells the weather, checks your email, and makes toast. Just a portable phone. (Well, maybe with text messaging and ring tones, if possible. ) Does anyone know of a plan somewhat like this? I thought it'd be pretty cool to have one but I can't exactly keep up a monthly charge with an income of whatever I mooch off my mom. (I might be getting a job soon, but I still wouldn't want to be blowing a lot of cash on that.) |
