The phrase is "couldn't care less".
Grinding to high levels is one way to get by, but in many games, some thinking actually will get
you to the end without that. Isn't that strategy?



FF 4 and 7.

ALL people lack full control of their emotions.

A guy doing something "nice" for a woman, and then getting pissed off about it when he doesn't get laid after, is not actually a nice guy. That is ABSOLUTELY TRUE, and people like that DO exist. The problem is where that is assumed to be the case whenever a man does any "nice" t...

On-topic: "Nice guy" has a lot of varying meanings these days, ranging from compliment to insult to medical condition. I find most of what I've read on the subject to be highly offensive - implying that every positive action I've ever made in my life was just a coverup for sexual motives....

I don't think there's much point to programming N64 at the register level. You'd be better off using the official C API provided by Nintendo (or some amateur library, usually with less features, if you worry about the legalities). By the time N64 and PSX came around, the hardware started to be a bi...

- I think I also read something about how you actually need to program the video chip, and this is the supposed "microcode" I've always heard about? I think so. I guess it would be sort of like how you program GPUs today with shader languages. - I don't even understand how that works. anot...

Something like this?

Should the SNES demo be done without the SPC700?

Great, I'm not 100% on this so now someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but here it goes: When you are using CHR-RAM, you are simply storing the gfx data in the PRG-ROM, and then use your own routines to copy that data to the gfx RAM in the PPU. The CHR-ROM way stores the gfx on a separate ROM chip ...

The red/green sprite thingy works on my SFC-TV.

Of course I pushed buttons. xD
All of them several times.

I really like the tetris game.

First Person Tetromones works(did for the 5 minutes I played at least).
Elevator Madness DX just goes back and forth between the title screen and the controller instructions.

I really don't understand why people like C so much. :? It doesn't look very fun to program in, (which is the whole point of programming if you're not making money) and is it really all that much easier than ASM ? Oh yes, far easier. I still find it ridiculous that they are kind of saying, "eh...

If you want to get fancy, you could read from SLHV ($2137) to load the current scanline into OPVCT ($213D), and then display a CPU usage graph. If you start exceeding 192 lines too often, you're in danger of slowdown. Could that be what's used here(little arrow going up and down to the left)? https...
