I sometime make chiptune music and programming related stuff, otherwise I mostly ramble about life and shitpost when I am bored late at night.

I have to say, this makes me really happy right now!
I'm glad I was able to help identify a very obscure bug that went unnoticed for several years at this point! 🐱

Vin @vinscool.bsky.social · 1h

I guess I will only know for sure if I experiment a bit with the same problematic files, and see if I could spot something else related to this bug and its fixes!

Vin @vinscool.bsky.social · 1h

I think I might try to combine both the proper fix and my own workaround that used of a different Channel for the same purpose.

That way I could confirm that my own changes may still be useful for few edge cases, and also because at worst it would just not be executed unless it's as a last resort.

Vin @vinscool.bsky.social · 1h

It looks like my own workaround was not quite correct, but it's nice to see I've helped fixing it based on my experimentation from the last few of days trying to fix it myself in the meantime.

Update on the LZSS bug: It was confirmed by the author of the tool (dmsc), and provided a fix for it!

Fix for forcing a literal at the end of the stream. · dmsc/lzss-sap@91dd4b2

When re-encoding to force a literal at end of the stream, the match length was not properly initialized, so the last encoded values could end up being used instead. Many thanks to @VinsCool at htt...

funny to see this and almost immediately recognize it as Acmlm's old "Strange Mario World" ROM hack; so old that Lunar Magic wasn't capable of editing overworlds yet.

this hack might be older than a lot of vinesauce viewers

I wish there was an equivalent to SAX (A AND X -> M) with ORA right now, would have been really useful.

I have another video today! It's about old-school video projectors and how amazing they were.

Seriously, not only is it almost unbelievable that this even works, but it's doing full HD video with incredibly good image quality. It's also a royal PITA.

C64 game devs: what parts of your code do you habitually assign to which memory areas? Do you make use of the RAM under the KERNAL ROM for screen memory?

I don't "have a schedule", I don't make "thumbnails", I don't make "community posts", I upload WHEN IT'S READY. And if it flops, IT'S THE ALGORITHM'S FAULT.
