Sorry I had to let that out.
Don't worry. I'm ADD. Just because people aren't diagnosed with stuff doesn't mean they don't have problems.

i got ADHD, autism, asthma, allergies.. i got the worst of life.. (well, not the worst.. there's people out there that got it pretty bad)

i actually hate labels. i think doctors just like calling people autistic, just because they ran out of things to say...

i mean, isn't that what makes us all unique?

What the hell makes people diagnosed with autism anyway?

And yes there's people out there with worse, trust me, one of those people are my friend.

for me, it's the fact that i can learn one thing, but not the other.. seriously, that's how they labeled me.. for example, i can learn a programming language, and learn how to use AV editing software, but when it comes to english and math, i suck... (so when programming, i always have a programmers calculator handy)

The other way around, NES graphics overlaid on VHS video -- but the required hardware isn't inside of the regular NES.

Hah, now if evildragon would just finish that NES-based DVD controller, we could combine it with the FC Titler and have NES-based Laserdisc games.

well, it might not be hard to do.. use the video out on the NES, and use some overlaying circuit, like this: http://www.viennawireless.org/balloon/h ... /index.php

(though that circuit won't give you NES graphics....)

it could be done, but i don't think you'll get very advanced with it.. without a doubt however, you'll need to mix the video outside the NES...

Actually, that page that ccovell linked describes a Famiclone that does video overlay; that's what I was referring to. Just develop a DVD-controller cart of some sort, and BAMMO! Instant LD adventure game on NES.

i only have an american NES, and that lacks video input.. it could be done if video passed through it..

oh, and for hoaxes go, just to test you guys, what do you think, this screenshot a hoax, or real TV tuner capture? I know the answer cause this is my image, but I wanna see if you guys can truly spot a fake, or an authentic image..

It looks like a video capture of a Sega Genesis to me, though considering that I've released several TMS9918-style NTSC filters, it could have been made with one of those. It's definitely not something made in Photoshop, as the signature artifacts of that video chip aren't easy to fake. The unfinished blue scanline at the bottom points to video capture.

yep, that's a true capture... that is what my BT878 really looks like (with the 32X, hence the over-brightened image)... if it was an actually TV broadcast, then my BT878 captures like this:

I was gonna say it was hardware because of the garbage pixels in the bottom border where the game is writing to CRAM and thus you get classic "snow" at those points, which doesn't happen on any emulator.

A compilers primary task is to create the binary, it's secondary is to make sure the code is efficient. Plus if you are writing code for an exam which isnt' to be compiled, then the examiner might deduct points or whatever.

God bless you admin, btw.

It happens on at least one NES emulator I know of. Or has nobody tried to make a Genesis emulator whose VDP accuracy approaches Nintendulator's PPU accuracy?
