I wonder if this works with actual messages as well as threads in Discord, would be interesting when searching for information.

You can to varying degrees, yes. There's a barcode scanner, an exercise bike, a baseball bat, and more. I designed higan around a modular tree structure so that you can just create a new derived node for any peripheral, and define what

Hi all, thank you for sharing this article here! It is technically a "laymen's" version of https://byuu.org/articles/edge-of-emulation (submitted here earlier), meant for a wider audience, but it does el

Oh, sorry I forgot I also had user-agent checks in the code, good catch! archive.is checking was based on IP ranges, since they spoof their user agents as Chrome and use proxies. I removed that too now. All that should be left is a noindex

Hello, I removed the archive.is check, and requested the entire site to be crawled, which is now done. The entire site is mirrored here: http://archive.is/byuu.org I also sent an e-mail to the archive.org staff requesting t

Thank you kindly! The structural design aspects of programming was one of my favorite parts. I may've gone a bit too far in the final releases of higan with the reference-counted tree to describe system states (specifically serializing

I give you my word, they've had a go at me online since 1998. I'm not worried about criticism directed my way. I mostly deserved it anyway. But they went after my friends. Someone on an imageboard compiled a list of my friends&#x2

Hey it could be worse, imagine having a link to your own KF thread in a frontpage HN article. Now that's a bad look ^-^; Referring to GP, of course. I appreciate the link to my reply. For any folks here that read the post, please als

Working on bsnes and higan were the things that made me most happy. Well, bug hunting was of course stressful but the joy of fixing a bug and seeing new games running was always well worth it! I'm definitely going to miss it a lot. It

Yeah, both Google and DDG have the "we know better than you" problem with searching. I have to aggressively use the -keyword filter on searches with both.

Yes it definitely would be. Every frame of run-ahead requires emulating another instance of the system. So a run-ahead of four frames means needing 5x the processing power. Generally speaking you'd only want 1-2 frames of run-ahead, ho

The problem is you can't move a domain once you've established it. I'm stuck on byuu.org for life. There's 15 years worth of links to it scattered across the web that would all go dark. Or more precisely, that would all

Okay, a) that's very clever, but b) mvn is really quite slow. DMA would be faster (presuming the data is on two separate buses, you can't perform RAM -> RAM DMAs.) Barring that, a manually unrolled loop in a slow memory area wo

by byuu 7y ago
What's annoying about that memory space is it's fragmented: $4300-437f is the 128-byte region for DMA registers, but $43xc-f aren't usable (well, $43xf mirrors $43xb for whatever reason. $43xc-$43xe are open bus.) So basicall

Oh certainly, it's just beyond what I can do as a C library. I've also seen another approach that implemented a customized libc replacement to allow this to work. But that and modifying the compiler itself are really extreme steps

Serialization [1]. Say you want to take a snapshot of where your program is, run the code some more, and then later on restore execution back to that snapshot. In the parlance of video games and emulators, this would mean save states. You c

What I don't trust is Cloudflare. When a DoH provider I trust pops up, I will move to that.

by byuu 7y ago
DoH only hides the domain name lookup. You still connect to the other server by IP. Even $2.50/mo VPS plans offer a unique IP these days, and building a database of IP:hostname is extremely trivial, especially for ISPs that already run

You may trust Cloudflare, but I do not. I trust my DNS provider. It's fine for me, I keep up on these things and I have disabled DoH already (I don't care for any current DoH provider, and I also rely on /etc/hosts entri

Yes, they are sending all of your DNS requests to Cloudflare. You can of course change it, but it's opt-out and not communicated to users that this is happening.

Well it would be both, right? A new IP and a new subdomain. When I did that for a wordpress install it had very low (<10) DA. I trust your experience more than my one attempt though. Also my program was inside a ZIP archive. It did not h
