New Read Only Memo! The Hyper Neo Geo 64 arcade system is finally properly playable in MAME! While it was marked as "working" a while ago, there was a missing ingredient: Working sound emulation.

In a funny coincidence, a specific '90s synthesizer turned out to be a key piece of the puzzle.

After 2 decades of tinkering, MAME finally cracks the Hyper Neo Geo 64

How MAME devs finally got sound working for the 3D arcade system. Plus: PC Engine LaserActive support gets fast-tracked.

"Sometimes while you're waiting for all the pieces to fall into place, it turns out one of the pieces you do have happens to fit into another puzzle entirely"

Also, game emulation developers are awesome reverse engineers !

My father (who has one hand) suggests wearing a thick sock. An ace bandage with med tape would probably be just fine, wrapped around your fist and taped to hold it in place.

I tell artists I want an invoice via PayPal and so many of them are hesitant because of the PII leakage that can happen.

DEC VT-100 (1978)

A catalog shot of the VT-100 features a white-on-black monichrome monitor, a black monitor inset in a white case, and a black keyboard frontispiece and keys over a white keyboard case, set in a 70s warm umber backshot. The text, barely visible, features various forms of graphics characters, fonts, double-height lines, and inverse video; the 'digital VT 100' slogan appears case right.

my degree is basically half computer science and half media and literature studies and my biggest takewaway was "more engineers need to study the humanities b/c some of you fuckers are ILLITERATE when it comes to anything outside your specialty"

(this is why there are so many right wing engineers)

dreamhack, lan party, jönköping, sweden (2002) web.archive.org/web/20021203...

dreamhack in the process of being set-up with long boards being placed on top of things made of wooden pallets inside a large exhibition spacious centre with a curved ceiling. there will be room for hundreds of attendees.

everything is set-up, attendees have their computer rigs set-up, the lights are off, hundreds of lit crt monitors can be seen in the darkness and people sitting at their set-ups in lengthy rows.

That’ll make things flaky and itchy!! Alcohol absorbs the water in skin and hair, leading to unhappy.

In the electronics world, circuit boards get washed in what is basically a modified dishwasher. I can see a similar appliance that washes, rinses, dries, and ejects electric types.

Doodle of a Sylveon cornered in a shower and being rinsed, throwing its head back and letting out a woeful wail; reminiscent of most cats’ reactions to being washed

RED ROOF NOOOOOOOO.

The door of a closed red roof inn plastered in signs advising it is not renting rooms and an orange notice (known as an “orange tag”) advising it is not habitable and has been closed by the township

The aforementioned Orange Tag reading WARNING
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP
ORDINANCE NO. 2017•476
These premises CAN NOT be occupied until first securing a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official. Failure to comply could result in a fine of not more than $1000.00 per day, or eviction, or both.

Ive spent so much time working with tech people doing tech things on tech deadlines. In the past few years my practice has turned to analog tools (print making, zines, drawing) in my own personal protest. 1/3
