I thought DTE = Dictionary Text Encoding, where you use the normal 1-byte-per-tile system, but have certain characters that display certain words... Like maybe putting in an @ would show the word 'the', or a % would show 'potatoes', etc.

Why blow a paycheck or two on something I'm only going to use, like, twice a year, for strictly personal reasons?

I think more programs need longer trial periods, or less-restricted trial versions (what's the point of trying out a disk maintenance utility when it doesn't actually do anything to the disk, or only works on floppies?). I'd also like more companies to release free versions of their software for personal use that have most of the full version's features, but are missing a few key ones that commercial users would need (for example, a 3D rendering program could render at a maximum of 640x480 for home users, but go into the high thousands for professionals that need the extra detail for printed materials or movies/TV). Lower price tags on most programs would also be nice. (Is Windows XP Pro really worth $300 to the average user?)

Exactly! Why should I pay good money for something I'm only ever gonna use once? Say you don't have a car or a license, but need to get somewhere far away, and rather than paying a huge amount for a dirty stinky bus, you have a friend who's willing to drive you there. Do you go out and buy a car? (Ignoring the fact that it'd be way more expensive than the bus. ) No, you rent one. Same idea. But if I can't rent it, then I'll just help myself.
You're right on about the trial limits too. Ever tried Ulead GIF Animatior? Yuck! The goddamn Undo button is even disabled! How the hell am I supposed to evaluate a program that doesn't do anything?

Sure, I got hundreds. Gotta love how that's legal in Canada.

BTW, you don't need a crack for WinRAR. Just click the X in the 'trial expired' dialog. But it's nice to not have that pop up all the time.
Reminds me of when I got a trial for SoundEdit Pro... It said it was a 30-day trial, but on the starup screen, it said a 15-day trial for AudioConvert. Still the right program, though... Too lazy to edit the dialog? (Of course, it never got to 15 days. )

[edit] Oh, here's a good one. 25 bucks for a program that takes screenshots. I DON'T THINK SO. (Not even gonna download that. I can make my own. )

I noticed this a while ago, and told Jesper about it. Apparently when you delete a PM, it really just gets moved to a hidden folder. (Because, if you really deleted it, it'd disappear from the other person's 'sent' folder too, which wouldn't make sense.) The 'new PM' notice still needs to be programmed to ignore that folder.

Yeah. IE gets one point for being able to open .mht files. (Even though they are M$'s proprietary format.)

Posted on 11-10-04 07:02 AM, in Argh. Explorer != Photoshop! Link
I've been having this problem with WinXP Pro for a while now, but I just recently found a really annoying side effect. If I press the Play button on my keyboard (to start/pause Winamp) with Explorer open, it displays both the Move Items and Copy Items dialogs. Annoying, but understandable, since I don't actually have the drivers for this keyboard installed. (I just have a VB program listen for the keys. ) Now, if I try to open anything in the Programs list of the Start menu by right-clicking and choosing Open or Explore, it also does that and doesn't open the folder. Now that's really annoying, but still not enough for me to really complain.

Now here's the annoying part, that I'm surprised I didn't find before. If I select several GIFs, right-click, and choose "Edit with Photoshop", guess what? No PS opening, just a frickin Move Items dialog! I can do it one at a time, but with 100+ images, that's really annoying. The option is still associated with PS in the File Extensions menu, so what gives? I'm sick of this useless dialog popping up all the time. (If I wanted to move them, I'd just drag and drop, or use DOS if really necessary. )

Posted on 11-10-04 07:54 AM, in Goal Star System Link
I started working on this a while ago, but it was a lot more complicated than I expected. What I had proposed would be more like the Jiggies in Banjo-Kazooie. (Same idea as SM64's stars, but you don't exit the level when you get one.) You would need to find 293 free bytes in SRAM for each file, and 293 more in RAM. (292 for each level, which if I calculated right should be the max # of levels you can enter from the OW, plus one for the star counter.) Then you could have up to 8 per level using custom blocks. The blocks would do the following:
-Get current OW level #
-Look it up in Star Got table in RAM
-Get the bit for whatever star it is (8 different blocks, one for each bit)
-If the bit is set, which means you already have it, play a sound and exit.
-Play another sound, maybe some sort of animation.
-Change into some other block, so that you can tell you got it already. (Maybe just make a block after them all that acts as #25 and has a 'used star' graphic, and have #1 change into Map16+8, #2 change to Map16+7, etc.)
-Set the bit indicating you got the star.
-Increment the star counter.

The problems that arise with this method (and some possible workarounds, though still with problems) are:

1) Possible lack of RAM/SRAM space.
Workaround: RAM space might be freeable by removing two-player options and using Luigi's data, but then you can't do two-player. Is it possible to change the SRAM size?

2) Need to hack Save Game routine.
Workaround: Make custom blocks to do it, put them in a one-screen level that has Side Exits enabled, and make it show the save prompt after passing the level. Make it so that you're forced to touch the block. Make this the only save point. However, this could cause problems if the user chooses Continue Without Saving, which would result in only the star counters being saved. This could be solved if the 'Save Game' routine was found - make touching the block optional, with a message box prompting the player to touch it in order to save the game. The block would do the original save routine as well as saving the star array.

3) Need to hack Load Game routine.
Workaround: More custom blocks, or hack the Load Level/Load OW routine. Have a bitflag in RAM that tells whether the star counter array has been loaded. If not, these routines should load it and set the flag. (If using custom blocks, they would be placed at the beginning of every level, invisible.)

4) Need to hack Erase File routine.
Workaround: Another block that deletes the array from SRAM, placed in the starting level ('Looks like Peach has gone missing again' etc) in a way that Mario is forced to touch it. This way, the counter would still remain after deleting a file, but would be erased when starting a new one. (A problem arises, however, if the star counter is displayed on the file select screen. This could be avoided by having the display routine check if the file is empty, but we'd need to know how the game does it.

5) If you come back into a level, the stars you already got would still look like you hadn't got them yet.
Workaround: This might be fixable by having the level-loading routine/custom blocks check the table, and if so, change the specified block's TSA and Acts Like settings, so it'd still be a star block but would look like a used star block. However, this is only possible if these settings are stored in RAM...

6) Need to impliment a star counter display. Not too difficult, but something that needs fixing nonetheless. (For convenience, a BCD-encoded version of the star count could be stored in SRAM, similar to the timer.)

7) Though not required, it would be much better if a star counter display in place of the exits display were implemented on the file select screen, as well as a display for how many/which of the level's stars you've got on the OW.

Why? Simple math really.
3.141592654 x 2.71828183 = 8.53973422862967682.
Pi = 3.141592654.
e = 2.71828183.
So the expression is Pi x e... or as you'd say it in algebra...
