Overview of CVSD: tc0 = e^(-200 / rate) # Decay to 1/e-th in 1/200 s tc1 = 0.1 * (1 - tc0) # Increase stepsize to full scale in 1/20 s for each sample: stepsize *= tc0 # exponential decay if last 3 are 000 or 111: stepsize += tc1 # linear increase output +stepsize if sample else -stepsize through a ...

And it has interesting feature also: it can divide by zero. And this process has absolutely the same count of steps like with any other divider. It produces results with all binary digits set to 1, that is 'closest to infinity'. At the same time it produces remainder equal to dividend. This is tric...

To count a coin, you need to wait for the coin button to go pressed then unpressed.

Other things to watch for when adding coin mode: The coin buttons in bits 6-5 of $4016 stay pressed for about 2 to 3 frames at a time. In order not to miss coins, make sure to read these bits even during lag frames or blank screen transitions. Also take care to handle a coin inserted into both slots...

At 2:45, the video by Displaced Gamers makes an analogy to the shared life events of people of the Lost, Greatest, Silent, Boomer, X, Millennial, and Z generations, and claims that video games have no parallel. 2:57 "Consoles don't work that way; they don't grow up." 3:22 you figure out exactly how ...

In backward-adaptive[1] DPCM in general, it is common to increment scale in response to slope overload faster than decrementing in response to granular noise. This ensures an adequately fast response to slope overload and decay over the course of a syllable without triggering excessive slope overloa...

Good luck moving things around in an IPS patch without reproducing substantial portions of the work in the patch. An original engine also allows distributing your work on cartridge. Even a lock-on cartridge that implements IPS patching in hardware might incur liability under the legal theory of Micr...

Defining "recognizably based on" isn't trivial, particularly deciding what parts of a game fall in the "process" and "method of operation" carveouts.

Why make a whole new engine when there are so many engines just sitting around that a lot of people have put a lot of time into hacking already.

Nintendo has been very active lately in asserting its copyrights. With an original engine, you would own the rights free and clear.

strat and others: Let's please take the digression about accessing properties of a member of an entity pool on Game Boy to the previous topic about this issue.

Assuming standard VGA with 256 KiB VRAM, 8bpp display modes resembling MCGA/VGA mode 13h, and an ISA bus in the 7 to 11 MHz range: For hardware-accelerated scrolling in eight directions, you need to make the virtual screen slightly larger in both dimensions than the actual screen. Let's say 336x224 ...

Gameboy seems to have this odd middle ground where it has a pile of good games, but also generally seen as simple enough that making a new C game doesn't seem "bad" but a lot of people have a deep love for it, possibly retrospectively thanks to the "music scene" around it. That and the most obvious...
