I often try to do this, but it's rarely cheaper, and occasionally much worse. I recently bought a beach tent directly from the manufacturer, and when it showed up, it had a big Amazon sticker on it, and didn't actually have the pr

Sure, it's just a poor analogy. YouTube doesn't show up at your door unprompted as junk mail does. You go there intentionally for the purpose of watching a video. You can pay for that video with your time or your money. No one is

We finally gave up our Prius after 12 years, and we never changed the brakes once. The brakes were just peeking into the yellow on its last service upgrade. I was really impressed with how well the "normal" hybrid could take advan

I really like the DE0-CV in particular for having the 7 segment displays and accessible buttons and switches. When I was first getting started in FPGA stuff, I spent a lot of time just getting basic circuits to work, and you need some physi

There's a ton of of dev boards out there, but I would say to be sure to get something with hardware buttons and LEDs, as it really helps with some of the Hello World level of things, and many of the cheapest options won't have tho

Not the gp, but I used Duolingo quite a bit, and recently learned Spanish to an upper intermediate level. In my opinion, Duolingo is just as weak with pure reading as with spoken language. You'll learn some vocabulary and be introduced

Accessing the cart was as fast as accessing RAM, and you didn't have much RAM to go around, so I imagine there just wasn't much advantage to it.

Op's point is that the lower nominal voltage is the culprit in the battery's lower energy density. If you and I each have a 1 kg battery that stores 1 amp hour, but yours puts out 3.7v and mine puts out 2.5, then your battery is s

Can I ask what the feature set looked like? I always kind of wanted to do this with the Skullgirls AI, but never had the time while we were developing it. As a developer, I obviously had full access to the game state, but I'm still not

Is there a good reference for potential upgrades to old, obsolete-ish parts? I definitely understand that many of the old logic ICs, transistors, and op-amps have been displaced by better parts, but I don't always know how to identify

I also made a VGA shield for my Nano! I got a couple pictures at https://mobile.twitter.com/dyselon/status/648020130471899136 That project is actually kind of what convinced me to go ahead and buy the CV. It was f

The DE0-CV is a bit more expensive, but I think it's probably better than the Nano for the FPGA 101 type experiments. It's got more on the way of switches and LEDs, and the buttons are a lot easier to get to. I have both, and I ha

SNES is a 12 bit shift register, as well.

The art in Skullgirls was done somewhat similar to the way the article describes in "Recoloring". Each frame was composed of three different images and each sprite had a palette along with it. The palette was a list of color gradi

It's not particularly uncommon. Check out the mapper list at http://tuxnes.sourceforge.net/nesmapper.txt . All the 0k chr entries are carts that have chr ram. Just for funsies, I looked up one I had, and cracked it open

Dolphin uses DirectInput on Windows, so basically anything works. If you're in the market for a PC gamepad, it's hard to go wrong with a 360 controller.

It's an ARM microprocessor and wifi module. It's powered via its USB port or whatever you hook up to the vin pin. It's basically another cheap embedded platform, but it's got built in wifi. I kickstarted the Spark, and r

Ditto is one I recognize. That one is definitely a Pokemon.

It'd be kind of hard, as what makes up a "sprite" lives in two different places - one that stores all the tile data, and another that basically describes which tiles make up which sprites. The latter is likely to change every

Accidents already happen, and frequently. The question is "will these systems fail enough such accidents happen more often than they do now?"

It seems weird that the NFL would complain about this when NBC already streams Sunday Night Football, their biggest game every week?

We used an automated version of this to get interesting lighting on Skullgirls, and it's a neat effect. It's really cool to see more people exploring all the cool ways you can leverage your 3D card for better 2D art!

Man, I'm ready. I'm pretty tired of ads that randomly ignore mute, have "skip" buttons that don't work, or otherwise just don't function correctly. Also, I always feel like I'm cheating when I watch from m

If I take your meaning correctly, you do agree! You also would prefer to work with the same set of people you want to hang out with. It's just in your case that set is empty in both instances.

Well, hopefully not for health or ammo. The whole point of a heads up display is so that you can literally keep your head up. A "look down for info" mechanic might be neat for stats you'd normally put on a pause screen or thi

Practically speaking, most of your iteration will be on emulators anyway, so don't let not having a cart stop you from getting started. GBA programming is a ton of fun!
