Rereads thread.

Still don't see any attacks being made.

Wow, is this ever a clear example of the pot calling the kettle black.

Well, that is exactly the problem and I can only hope that one day you do see it.


If you want to talk about me, go ahead I guess, but I have nothing to do with how you behaved in that thread.

...because you have no point.



If I was being a troll to just make people angry I would've typed in all caps, insulted people and swore like a sailor. I wouldn't be paying so much attention on backing up arguments and using correct grammar all the time. If I don't back up my argument enough, it's not because I am a troll and I have no valid argument, it's because sometimes the less said the better.

Thanks a lot! Do you understand why I get so angry at people?

I'm sorry, what I meant was that your words in that thread more or less had the effect of a troll (which is also why that thread was locked). That's why I went on to clarify that I think you probably believed they were somewhat well-intentioned. I was pointing out that at face value they do not read as well-intentioned to me, or apparently to many people in that thread who felt directly insulted by you. I had to infer your intentions by the way you seemed to be shocked that someone might have called you an "idiot" at the end of that exchange.

I think I do have some idea of why you get angry at people, but my question about that thread was precisely the converse: do you understand why people get so angry at you?

If you can re-read that thread and think "no, I said nothing at all insulting", then the answer to that question appears to be a negative. That's the "point" that you insist I don't have. There is a disconnect between how you think what you say should be received, and how it actually is, and it definitely appears to be causing you grief (as well as them). Do you want to understand why they reacted this way? Or do you just want to comfort yourself with a belief that they're all idiots?

Okay, what was the most cringe worthy thing I said? You don't have to go into detail.

I guess I can have this thread closed.

If you look at the thread and just see what people take exception to, do you not think they made it clear what is bothering them about what you said?

The very subject line of the thread is worded in a way that is hostile to the entire reason for the community's existence, and about 10 different people respond directly to that over the course of it. You lead with that sour foot and it colours the context of everything else you said. After that bad opening, you did make some civil inquiries and the discussion looks like it's turning into something worthwhile, but then when you doubled back to it you can see the thread turn bad right there.

i heard somewhere that the SA-1 is a 1 phase CPU, is this true ??

This is where the thread gets uncomfortable for me, aside from the "(RANT)" in the title itself. A few notes:

[x] vs [y] "fanboy" debates don't seem like they have a place in 2017, among adults without serious social problems. Take a step back and think about the concept of getting emotionally invested in a psuedo-war between two large corporations from the '80s and '90s, and ask yourself if it is sensible to be so involved.

In this line you're implying that a bunch of "fanboys" are upset because you "pulled off" action games on the SNES. Do you actually think that is true?

The internet is full of people with issues.

I hate to repeat myself, but since people don't understand sometimes repeating oneself is necessary.

No. The 65(X)XX series needs a 2 phase non-overlapping clock. Fundamental part of its design and timings. Although you could make it so it takes in a clock at 2x speed and then use that to make the internal 2 phase, and then call it a 1 phase as far as the external circuity is concerned??

ok, thanks for explanations, and it's not the case for SA-1 ??


Yes i call it a 1 phase because RAM accesses can be close to the CPU frequency(so close to 1 cycle per access), and not a 1/2 cycle like the 65xxx standard .

Its a 65816 core. From the pinout here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9592 it takes in 2 lots of the master clock, which it divs 2 to get its clock speed. The fact it takes two makes me think it inverts then divs the other one to make the two clocks. Without seeing the dies though its all speculation. But it seems that it does take on faster clock in which it then clocks down to its internal speed. So I guess it could be seen as a 1phase 21Mhz or a 2Phase 10Mhz
