Doesn't seem to be much more than a browser... may as well use a hex editor.

Yeah, I know what libraries do (and Windows doesn't give anything special but a .dll extension typically), but I don't know how they interact with programs/UIs.

Chelsea Enhancements... I don't know too much about LM's hidden features, but I'm sure that it has something to do with locking the ROM too. On that regard, I think it might actually include whoever's RLM program, which is GPL (same as this) and it unlocks ROMs that can be read by Lunar Magic (DW:TLC is done in such an expansion that the public's LM can't handle anyway, so decrypting its data still won't let it load in normal LM ). If a ROM can be read by an emulator, there will be a way to load it into an editor, since no data is being lost, just locked into a format the editor won't understand.

I think the library name might end up being really basic, such as libsmwhax. Better names can be added onto the GUI applications, icons would be handled by them too.

HF: Well, perhaps the ASM stuff is good for this section of the board, but not for people wanting basic editing of SMW. The main reason that this thread here is because it has people with the knowlege (or will to learn) about low-level SMW stuff.

Posted on 11-25-05 01:58 AM, in Who else is using the keyboard buttons as a mouse? Link
Nope, I don't use it, but it's yet another feature wonderful KDE has
KDE does run on Mac OS X via the X11 server, but Apple de-privilegized X11 by a lot. Good thing for maintaining system stability (often X locks up right when you're logging off, and it leaves the keyboard and mouse absolutely useless ), bad thing for apps that really need some extra functionality (eg, some of KDE's components)

BTW, you can plug in nice, normal three-button mice on Macs. I'd do it if I ever got a Mac

You'll need to copy files and re-make the ISO9660 with something like mkisofs.

The filesystem was meant to be created once and never manipulated. For read-only media

So what is MDF/MDS? Is it just another twist on the TOC/BIN name? (I thought the mis-name of CUE/BIN was popular these days )

Posted on 11-25-05 10:42 PM, in Whoever posts BMP screenshots please read this now! Link
And you can also try using pngrewrite and pngcrush together, it'll save a bunch of space. pngrewrite counts the number of unique colors; if it's 256 or less (which is always the case with SNES games), it'll make a palette for those colors and make a new PNG file. pngcrush will re-compress it to be very small. I've done an experiement, and I see pngrewrite'd/pngcrush'd screenshots here being a quarter of the original size.

I've got two cats. A slew of pictures too... so here's two that I've picked out and scaled down for Internet use (I doubt anyone'd want 2MB pictures of my cats )

Misty, she's a year and a half old:

HyperHacker: That screenshot has many problems:
1. It's a JPEG. MY EYES ARE BLEEDING THANK YOU VERY MUCH
2. JPEG isn't made for screenshots, see above point
3. MS Paint doesn't save PNG correctly... use something like GIMP or IrfanView that gets it right (btw, people, Photoshop does not get it right either).

Also... if you insist on having a .bmp screenshot posted, please gzip it, makes it almost as small as a PNG would be. Or just get one of those image editors and save it as PNG (ImageMagick has a command-line tool 'convert' if you love the command line)

Well, if you keep anyone in your post radar, who do you have?

I currently have: Ailure, FreeDOS (yeah, myself), and Acmlm.

When I first registered on the really-old board, I had Acmlm/Milly up there because his post count was HUGE.... (actually, I couldn't believe how people had such high counts until I noticed there is no message purge)
Then on the second incarnation, I had Ailure because he was zooming up there... then myself to keep track of how much I have without any subtraction necessary.

Posted on 11-28-05 12:48 PM, in Lunar Magic - Level Addresses Pl0z? Link
"Level number" and "hex address" are two entirely different things. For example, the hex address for YI1 is 0x30ad0; the level number is 105 (IIRC). The first number is useful if you want to edit in a hex editor.

Posted on 12-02-05 01:37 PM, in Useful Software / Links -- Unix-like/Free Operating Systems Link

Unix-like/free operating systems


This list is for free operating systems such as BSD and GNU/Linux. If you want a completely free OS, don't install software marked "PROPRIETARY"

Operating Systems themselves


Fedora Core - Nice and simple, Red Hat based and a very large community to turn for help.
Ubuntu / Kubuntu - Semi-New OS (started Oct 2004) based on Debian, designed for users that never used computers before; pretty nice for those looking for a new OS also.
CentOS - An operating system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux; recompiled to obey RH's requirements in order to redistribute (basically remove the name "Red Hat" and logos)
PC-BSD - An OS based on FreeBSD, made easy-to-use by having a graphical installer and uses KDE by default for its desktop.
Debian - Gives you complete choice of what software is going onto your system, while being easy to install.

Desktop environments and window managers


KDE - Complete DE including a desktop, panel, web browser, window manager, text editors, games, and all that good stuff.
GNOME - Like KDE, it's a complete DE including a desktop, panel, web browser, etc. In my opinion, the releases aren't as polished as KDE, but it's up to you to decide what you like best.
XFCE - Not-so-complete DE that includes the window manager, a panel, control panel, and file manager. Like GNOME, it's built on GTK, so such applications will also blend into this.
GNUstep/WindowMaker - WindowMaker's a window manager, and GNUstep is a library. Not much of a DE, but with a bunch of OPENSTEP/GNUstep applications, it can be one. Like NeXTSTEP. (There's some support for Cocoa applications in GNUstep, but not all APIs)
Fluxbox - Extremely lightweight window manager. About as much as you can get.

Web Browsers


Mozilla lololol - Not much explaination needed here, a web browser built on the Mozilla framework to have little features built-in, so that you can expand it with features you want.
SeaMonkey - The Mozilla Foundation cancelled development of Mozilla Suite. So Suite-lovers got together and continue it on their own. (Possibly faster and lighter on resources than lololol, but it's debatable)
Konqueror - Comes with KDE by default (part of kdebase; it's rare to find someone that left it out). Outstanding browser with support for HTML4, XHTML, and CSS1/2/3. Recently passed Acid2. Also doubles as a great file manager and (simple) FTP application.
Opera - Claims to be the fastest browser, sacrificing web standards-support for speed. It seems to be the same speed as lololol for me, but here you go if you like it. PROPRIETARY
Galeon - A GTK browser with the Gecko rendering engine. Integrates well into XFCE and GNOME.
Epiphany - The official web browser for GNOME; similar to Galeon.
Dillo - The fastest GUI browser ever made (yes, faster than Opera or lololol or Konqueror). Aims to fully support HTML4 also.

IRC, IM, etc


Gaim - Lightweight, cross-platform GTK IM client that supports many protocols.
Kopete - The KDE Instant Messenger. Like Gaim, it supports many protocols. Plus video chat over Yahoo! and MSN. (This comes with most full-blown KDE installs, but not all; part of kdenetwork)
X-Chat - GTK cross-platform IRC client with many features.
Skype - Free-of-charge voice chat platform. PROPRIETARY

RSS agregators


aKregator - Easy-to-use program that's yet another official KDE component (in kdenetwork).

Peer-to-Peer


Azureus - Popular Java BitTorrent program with tons of features.
KTorrent - KDE BiTorrent program with most of Azureus' features, plus an integrated search for many popular BT search engines. (This is not an official KDE application, so you probably will need to get it separate from "KDE").
BitTorrent - Let's not forget the official BT client! ... it pretty much sucks though
GTK-Gnutella - Connects to some of the popular classical P2P protocols. Gnutella, Gnutella2, Limewire, etc

Multimedia


MPlayer - It does everyting (with proper codecs installed, of course)
Audacious - Originally a fork of BeepMP with some new features, but then BeepMP was officially discontinued in favor of a client/server thing that hasn't been finished yet. So it's pretty much XMMS using GTK+2 and some other stuff.
XMMS - GTK+1 Winamp clone, mostly obseleted by Beep, but retains the doublesize feature that Beep removed for implementation problems.
JuK - KDE audio player; it's like iTunes except that it doesn't crash every two minutes.
AmaroK - Like JuK, but the UI can take many forms.
Xine-ui - It's like MPlayer but with excellent DVD support.
VLC - The cross-platform media player with excellent VCD, SVCD, and DVD support.
Totem - Minimalist media player for GNOME.
Audacity - Nice audio grabber and editor.

Graphics stuff


GIMP - Almost every feature that Photoshop has, GIMP has. That says enough. Oh yeah, some people seem to forget that GIMP, like Photoshop, isn't meant as a simple painting program.
Krita - Another professional photo editor, like Photoshop or GIMP. Technically, it's part of KOffice.
KolourPaint - Simple painting program that's like MS Paint, official KDE project (part of kdegraphics).
Xpdf - A PDF program, it looks ugly though so there's a few front-ends to the underlying source. It also obeys PDF authors' wishes for locking you from copying from or printing a PDF; search Google to find a fix if you want/need it.
KPDF - KDE PDF program, based on Xpdf but doesn't look ugly!
Evince - PDF, PostScript, djvu, tiff, and dvi viewer for GNOME.

Office / Productivity Software


OpenOffice.org - Complete office suite that can easily replace MS Office or WordPerfect Office.
KOffice - Complete office suite for KDE.
AbiWord - Lightweight, cross-platform GTK word processor. Similar to MS Word
Gnumeric - Spreadsheet application similar to MS Excel (recently got a Windows port). Designed and works for scientific data, but can be used for general stuff.
Scribus - Professional desktop publishing!
