    Interesting! Trying to find that particular code in the decompiled code is proving challenging. I wonder if they haven't yet discovered and documented that yet! https://github.com/…

    I'm not aware of any cool homebrew, but there is a certain level of cool being able to compile the code for some N64 games using the original IDO compiler on original hardware. You…

    In Canada there's been a big problem with stolen cars lately. Mostly trucks, and other high value vehicles though. Selling them locally isn't feasible, but there's a criminal organ…

    There isn't enough detail for me to know how serious is was in regards to stores not being able to accept payments, but a date of this blog being 2010, and it being written about a…

    This is very wrong. Ghidra might decompile to some C code, but this is a completely different, and very high bar. This is 100% matching C code that compiles to the exact binary the…

    I might be misremembering, but I seem to remember most games of that era were 540p scaled to 1080p. 720p would have been an upgrade. But your point still stands.

    For many people yes, because that 20k isn't being added to the mortgage, so it isn't easily financed over a long period of time with low interest. These days, many people are stret…

    Those projects from the ship of harkinian are not recomp. Those are based on completed decompilation projects. So they're not translating the mips assembly to an unreadable C being…

    How about adding information about IDO, like the static recompilation project being used in N64 game decompilation projects? It enables compiling code in a linux environment and ha…

    On a related topic. I have a really weird problem in my house where I'm about 20 feet from my TV trying to use my PS5 DualSense connected to a Google TV device connected behind the…

    8 years old is well past kindergarten aged. It's the second grade around here. It's still young, but the maturity difference is huge.

    It's interesting, because when I bought my electric vehicle recently, the insurance agent told me my rates would actually lower because they found that electric vehicles were almos…

    Colour blind doesn't mean someone sees in black and white. It means they have difficulty differentiating between two colours. Often red / green, but not always.

    16 flights this year already? I guess it really is dirt cheap to fly around Europe. For me, flying in Canada is expensive, and such an ordeal that it isn't something I could see my…

    The dev kits had 128MB of RAM. It's been possible for decades to upgrade the Xbox to 128MB of RAM by just populating the empty RAM using the same modules as the rest of the system.…

    Unfortunately not in this case. It's a kind of political issue right now with the current provincial government, and it's looking a lot like greed got in the way since it is in a p…

    Hard disagree. That "smart IoT coffee maker" stores your wifi details, including the password so it can reconnect. I appreciate the level of sophistication and effort required for …

    PAL-M is Brazil as far as I know. Canada is still NTSC.

    Oh, I'm not the one in question, just that we both know of one person doing decomp for a living there. You're right that it was stated that strict byte for byte matching wasn't req…

    Why not 1440p with integer 2x scaling?
