Save, reset, reload at beginning of temple, then go trigger whatever water flow you were supposed to.

If rendering more than is shown on screen, it would be hard to avoid having enemies suddenly appear quite a bit away from the edges. Lots of games also only maintain a small portion of the background at a time. Perhaps the emulator could detect scrolling, and remember pixels that scroll off screen a...

First, what can it be filled with? It's almost always media: video, audio, images. Bloated software and games will consist mostly of these internally. Also, the only illegal content is that which is illegal to possess, no matter how it was obtained. Movies, music, and images are in general are not i...

His point is that you're an idiot for engaging in discussion (I only know this because I got the point a while back in the linked discussion about binary).

Pretty sure the PS1 was the first home system with 3D hardware. Not very GOOD 3D hardware, mind you, but... it had it. And you'd be wrong. The PS1 is completely 2D. [snip Wikipedia quote] Hmmm, this feels like deja-vu. Ah yes, a ROM doesn't contain binary data, even if you can look at it with a mic...

I never said we should write VLIW code. We should have a system to run emulation in a VLIW-like manner. As it allows concurrency of the multiple CPUs we need to emulate at once. I'm sorry but I actually have no good idea what you're saying, because you're being incredibly vague. Do you really have ...

But I'm sorry, I just don't like keeping things secret. I can't verify what's really happening -- you can say you emulated this right, and you may even really believe you have, but say you miss a subtle bug and the game just so happens to look correct. It's like security through obscurity. The best ...

byuu doesn't need no silly cross-module optimization when everything is compiled as a single translation unit (courtesy of #include)! Or at least it was that way last time I checked.

Would really be nice if C++ blurred the static / run-time system a bit more, so that you could pass boolean variables as template parameters, rather than requiring a dispatcher that doubles in size (n^2) for each added parameter. You could generate the function pointer table below automatically, if...

Overflow isn't worth it, since the instructions which modify it are relatively rare. Here's how my Java-based 6502 emulator handles them. It properly handles any of the four combinations of N and Z by having two bits for N, which are ORed together to find the real N; the second copy is 8 bits shifte...

Things wrap on 256-byte boundaries because it was cheaper to use an 8-bit adder rather than a 16-bit one. But where does this wrapping occur except for direct page? The point of direct page is speed and compact encoding, so you want a small 256-byte page. If you don't want wrapping, you can use the ...

Anomie's SPC700 doc should cover everything. He also has more docs.

Count the number of frames that occur within a one-second interval. The result is the frames per second.

I've written several CPU emulators in Java and I settled on using int for everything except the arrays representing memory. For those, I use byte, and mask with 0xFF everywhere (and have obscure bugs on those few places I forget to...). There's little reason to use shorter types to restrict the numb...

If you go too slowly through the intersection, you also increase the risk of someone colliding with you, since you're in it for longer. 5 MPH is pretty damn slow. And in parking lots, I didn't think normal traffic laws applied, since it's private property. Not that one should following anything diff...

Obviously the proper solution is to avoid buying groceries. No buy = no out = no milk spilled. Simple.

text n. 1.a. The original words of something written or printed, as opposed to a paraphrase, translation, revision, or condensation. b. The words of a speech appearing in print. 2. The body of a printed work as distinct from headings and illustrative matter on a page or from front and back matter i...

Use the preview, Link!

The reason it doesn't blindly convert is because it is possible to insert javascript that way, just so you know. So someone could insert a link that was <a href="javascript:...">? How is that any different than a link to another page which has said javascript on it? Either way, the link m...

Just to be clear, I'm not commenting on automatic conversion of URLs to links, which I too don't really care for, since it clutters the text with the full URL. I'm commenting on explicit use of the tag, and how it fails to work with URLs using protocols other than http, https, and ftp. In other word...

The ftp:// link example in my first post works fine, without http:// being inserted. It looks more like the code that determines whether the [url= tag is valid requires that it have a double slash near the beginning of the URL, even though the format seems more along the lines of <protocol>:<protoco...

blarg, its news:// its a URI dude. Dude, did you even read the RFC I linked to? 3.6. NEWS The news URL scheme is used to refer to either news groups or individual articles of USENET news, as specified in RFC 1036. A news URL takes one of two forms: news:<newsgroup-name> news:<message-id> Just for r...

The tag doesn't recognize URLs using the news: protocol. Below are uses of url with the indicated text. For example, the first one is [open square bracket]url=http://example.com/[close square bracket]. [url=http://example.com/]http://example.com/ https://example.com/ ftp://example.com/ [url=news:alt...

but we can get rid of any potential copy overhead anyway: [snip code returning reference to contained info_t struct] Yes, I didn't want to encourage premature optimization. But since it's been exposed, I'll add that this can even handle cases where some members are calculated only when info is call...
