Sweet! Happy to have a reference of these.

Try isup.me next time to be sure. It's explained more in depth in the linked thread, but RCWN completely subverts the browser's cache by re-requesting all content, on the off chance that re-receiving it from the server is faster than retrieving it from the cache. Nesdev is likely seeing this as a DO...

Oh snap. Is there any way to get these fixed files into circulation or do we have to just hope someone notices?

Are you using Firefox? Tepples identified an issue with the site and RCWN: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?p=247736#p247736 The short of it is, go to about:config, find (or make) the key network.http.rcwn.enabled and set it to false . This was affecting me too and I can confirm that this fixe...

In the NSF of Heisei Tensai Bakabon currently in circulation, track 3 is missing the triangle channel. Attached is a patched version of the NSF to fix this issue. It looks like there was a mistake, for this track only, the music data does not contain a command to set the patch for the triangle chann...

I think it requires touching a file on the server, no matter what.

Oh snap, I didn't see that there were already two threads on the matter.

Well, here's thread #3 I suppose.

(This is a test of the emergency broadcast system and also to see if it happens to me too)

Edit: It didn't happen to me just now, so I wonder what happened?

Please, I'm begging you. In content.css , for .codebox code , please eliminate or override the property max-height . I have no idea why the default behavior of the code box is to restrict how many lines you can see at once, was there ever a use case which required this? It's especially painful for a...

Hah! I think he would've appreciated that.

Though, instead of kicking you out of his lab, he'd actually invite you in.

You're using lda (nn), Y (Indirect Y addressing) but I think you actually want lda nnnn, Y (Absolute Y addressing). :P lda ($08), Y means, "I've written a 16-bit address in RAM at $08 and $09, take the address I wrote there, add Y to it, that's the byte I want to fetch." lda $9040, Y means, "Fetch t...

Writing to $2001 is allowed mid-frame, otherwise it'd be impossible to perform a mid-frame palette update (StarTropics). There are probably better examples, but Krusty's Fun House uses $2001 to add a margin around the status bar.

I think "rendering" refers to the PPU making its usual memory fetches in order to draw tiles and sprites to the screen. If both sprites and BG are disabled, the PPU will stop making memory fetches (and thus, will not be "rendering" anymore), but it still generates video (a blank* screen), the sync p...

Disch was a monumental help when I was learning 6502, and when I was first learning C++ almost 15 years ago. He's also the reason I use SDL, and basically jump-started a personal project I've been working on for nearly a decade (on and off). I can't believe he's gone.

A quick google around suggests that phpBB's Q&A captcha works best when the answer isn't something you can directly copy/paste from a google search. For example, admins are reporting that even super simple things like "Take the word 'dingus' and type the middle four letters in uppercase" work well. ...
