Magic School Bus game about space

This one? I remember only having a demo version of the game on a Windows 95 compilation demo/Boot CD.
----

Three obscure and underated, but memorable games on PC that ate up much of my leisure time included:

BreakGOLD!
Marble Blast GOLD
3D Movie Maker

On the surface, "Break GOLD" appears to be an average, run-of-the-mill, PC Breakout clone. Mother, bro, and I found and bought a compilation of breakout games on a CD called "Break!" at Big Lots during 2004, which also included the full version of "Break GOLD". What sets this particular breakout game lightyears apart from most others is the fact that the levels include puzzles and complex gameplay programming, and the game engine, according to the programming User's manual, uses a programmable Motorola 68k virtual machine!! Most importantly, the full-version of the game comes with a level-editor, in which the game logic can be programmed using a watered-down subset of the standard Motorola 68k assembly commands. Brother and I had loads of fun creating levels. He created 2 Mario breakout fan games, while I created a (crappy) Knuckles Chaotix breakout fangame (which I released for SAGE 2011). Most recently, I have been working sporadically on Sonic CD Breakout using this engine, have been reverse-engineering certain file formats of the game, and am currently creating a WAD-like file format and a hacking utility. Unfortunately, the game only runs on x86 machines (probably due to the technical stuff of the M68k VM); luckily, I have a Windows XP x86 VM. Fun fact: I learned the basics of M68k asm programming for use in Genesis rom hacking from this game .

Marble Blast Gold, a game also acquired at Big Lots on a CD. Very similar to Marble Madness for the NES, but in 3D, with 3D models, an epicly complex game engine using Torque 3D and a level editor. Loads of fun!

3D Movie Maker, a "game"/applications where you can create movies. Only had it as a demo via aforementioned Windows 95 compilation demo/Boot CD. This game has been hacked to bits online and pumped with steriods with utilities.

As you can probably tell bu the game selections above, I like anything that it hackable or has an open-ended, level editor .

Lego island, I haven't played that game in years. My brother a few years ago bought some kind of re-release of Lego Island, which I think works on modern PCs. One of my favorite childhood PC games (albeit not obscure)! One of my favorite things to do was just launch all of the vehicles and watch them break lego people.


I'd definitely be interested in "borrowing" it :3

And I still have my copy of Lego Island... Now that you mention ripping into it, I am suddenly very curious if anything is actually behind that one door in the cave... Not that I'd know how to even find that out...

(picture)

This one...


IIRC, Unfortuantely, nothing is behind this door, because I remember actually using the [Keypad +] + [Keypad -] fly cheat to go behind it, back in the day. (See here and here for more info. That's the first time I've seen these "ogel" debug cheat before, on those pages...)

Still, it wouldn't hurt to hack this game anyways. Who knows what is hidden in the game files!

What brand of laptop are you using (ie HP, Lenovo, etc)?

With most brands of laptops, there is usually some sort of program that can fetch and download patches and updates for various software and drivers straight from the laptop manufacturer, via a fancy FTP program. For example, on my HP laptop is a built-in application called "HP Softpaq Download Manager", which I have used in the past to download BIOS patches with the flash utility, touchpad updates, etc. Some managers (such as mine also) even gives user free software (ie Cyberlink PowerDirector)!

If your laptop lacks such a built-in applications, you can always search the manufacturer's website for any hotfixes. Or, better yet, click the bars/ethernet icon in the bottom right corner, disconnect from the malfunctioning Wifi/Ethnet access point, then reconnect. That usually fixes my problems .

Posted on 11-02-13 10:43:57 PM, in Serial & Parallel Ports Link
Although my HP ProBook 4540s laptop is most definitlely the greatest laptop I have owned so far, in terms of hardware, specs, features, and stability, my Windows 7 Pro laptop, like 98% of others, lacks two ports essential to all electronics engineering nerds and PC POWA users:

Da cereal and Par ALL El ports! :specialed:
Err, the serial and parallel ports




I have been wondering lately: How can I add serial and parallel ports to my laptop, as well as properly interface the laptop to compatible serial/parallel hardware? I would love to add such functionality to my laptop, in order to program PIC microcontrollers, play around with MoD's Transfer Suite for Sega CD/Gen, and play around with my v3.3 N64 Gameshark and with GSUploader

From what I have heard, even if a dsektop computer has these ports, Windows 7 is an asshole when it comes to low-level hardware like this, due to security cop-outs. Furthermore, from what I have heard, using an USB-to-Serial/Parallel converter on laptops will not work, due to laptops not having enough voltage to properly handle data transmission. I could use an ExpressCard to Serial/Parallel port adapter, and then connect that to a ExpressCard to USB adapter; however, I have no idea if this data would transmit properly. (My ProBook laptop does not have an ExpressCard slot; however, my bro's older laptop, which needs its AC jack repaired, does have one.) As a last resort, I could either install serial/parallel ports via a mother card somehow (eww), or use a desktop computer at college. I do have a Targus USB dock hub, which does have serial/pararell ports on it, and which can be powered by a external power source. I have no means of determining if the voltage on those ports are high enough and if data transmits properly. Last time I tinkered with that device, I could not get neither any indication on the software side as to the serial/parallel ports existence, nor indication on how data was transmitting.

Expresscard adapter


So, does anyone have any experience with serial/parallel ports and laptops, and on how to get a proper interface on it? Or on serial/parallel port interfaces in generall.

Well, I found on the internet many people havng the same problem I do, with the GS64, Windows 7, stupid USB hud, and interfacing.

It all boils down to one, simple problem:
Legacy LPT addresses vs. "modern" LPT addresses.

From the drop-down boxes for the LPT addresses, the official N64 Utils and the GSCC 2k2 are both looking for legacy LPT addresses . Going to see if any BIOS settings are screwing me over; otherwise, I give up. Here is one guy's complex solution, which I do not feel like doing.

Fuck Microsoft, and their butchering of legacy LPT addresses

That is actually a really good start! Now we know for sure that models are indeed in that file, since we got something to display.

Looks like good code to me, but I don't know MIPS at all xD
It's an N64 MIPS disassembler though, not sure if it's different from normal MIPS.

Notice that there are several instructions that don't get disassembled to valid instructions (where the "?"s are). The rest of the "code" is just doing a lot of nonsense, like at 0x01198184, an instruction which stores the result of 0 * 0 into a read-only register (and the rest of the instructions don't make any more sense than that).


I know the basics of MIPS R4300i, and yeah, that particular block of code is nonsense. (XOR 0 from 0, and then store in reg r28, haha.) Some dumps of N64 ROMs are stored as little-endian, ie, you need to byteswap the rom in order to get legit code. With my experience with SM64 hacking, I can tell if a rom is in little/big endian format, by seeing if the internal rom's title in the rom header is correct. (IE, "SUPER MARIO 64" vs. "USEPR MAIOR 46" (or something)). Despite if re-assembling the DP rom is just a matter of "putting the puzzle pieces back together", a knowledge of the basics of MIPS R4300i, especially of commands that load data from addresses, will be needed. Also, search for a site called "Dextrose" in Wayback machine, as it has pretty much all the information you will ever need for the N64 and MIPS. (I would give you the link, but I think I would get in trubble.)

If I had more experience with MIPS R4300i and more time, I would be helping, but college and stuff...

Nice finds everybody!

Unfortunately, last Sunday, I totally forgot about thnd of DST . I woke up at what appeared to be 11:00AM, and then turned on my laptop, which displayed a bubble saying that "at 12:00AM today, the clock turned back an hour, due to DST ending" (or something similar), and the clock read 10:00 AM.

Alrighty, I sent off some emails/PMs to the N64 ultradudes I could think of off the top of my head: marshalh, Coolboyman, Zoinkity, & SubDrag.


It also couldn't hurt to maybe email/PM Skelux (of SMSR fame) and Kaze. Although both are primarily involved with SM64 hacking, both have an excellent grasp on MIPS R4300i, and both are members on Jul. . Just my 2c.

Posted on 11-10-13 03:29:37 PM, in Youtube Google+ Comments Link
(Funny, I was thinking about making this exact same topic over the weekend, once I discovered that with either Name option, I would be forced to make a Google+ account, wtf.)

Screw comments, I am only going to upload videos for now on (if at all), until the rules change/that petition goes through. Where can I sign up for the petition?

All of this really P.O.s me. I have never given a shit about Facebook/Google Plus/other "mainstream" social media and do not belong to them, because I wish to keep my personal information private. Not because I have anything to hide, but because its the sane thing to do. The last thing I want to happen is some idiot "friend" on FaceBook/Google+ to upload nude pictures of themselves or something inappropriate, and then a future job employer finding it and losing job opportunities. It is just a matter of reputational managment.

Honestly, this current Google+ bait-and-switch tactic with YouTube is essentially a trojan horse to join, and social media is essentially a method to promote insane extroverts to post their life story online for the ntire wurld to cee, government and employees included. Honestly, with stuff like this, and the leaks, our society is quickly approaching either a "1984" or a "Brave New World"-like society, IMO. Shit is getting scary!

I am also PROUD to not have a Google+ account!

In fact, I have already made a video, just in case something horrible happens. I have that horrible feeling about this Google+ integration. Now the comments, then liking videos and at the end uploading a video, all need a Google+ account.
You know what?

Screw you.

I want my privacy (*implying there is privacy with Google). The moment you need to have a Google+ account to upload a video, I'm outta here. I may move onto Dailymotion or even Twitch.

The PC is not dead, it's Youtube that is onto a great way. Customer alienating 101: what to do to screw people up.
I have this fear once they require Google+ for everything, they might kill off Youtube (but that is unlikely... maybe)


Youtube would be the least of everybody's worries if Google+ becomes required for everything ...

In wrath against Google and this YouTube and Google+ intergration, yesterday I uninstalled Google Chrome and replaced it with FireFox, and even changed the IE search engine accelerator to Yahoo instead of Google. I am also thinking about deleting my entire Google Account, and migrating data from my other Google products to better, more user-friendly, privacy embracing, alternatives. I am also thinking about moving to something else, instead of YouTube.

FUCK SCROOGLE, CENSORSHIP, AND SCROOGLE MINUS!

At the time of this writting, the petition I mentioned about has almost met its quota of signers. Right now, it has 27,118 signers, and needs 7,882 more, in order to reach its 35,000 quota. Sign it peoples!

they'll prob fix some of the more broken features

*cough* Or since when has Windows 8 removed an unwanted UI update that no one wanted... Honestly, it is a shame, but it seems as if beautifying computer software UIs to the max and then f*ing up the functionality is a rising trend with stupid companies and other things. Also, repairing things that aren't broken and then breaking it in the process is also a rising trend, it seems.

One more thing, something which I have to add to this discussion.
Look what nasty email I got today from YouTube:



You just gotta love the new features Google decided to slip in within this recent update [/sarcasm] !This was my very 1st video on my 2nd Youtube channel (the first channel, um... let's just say got "destroyed"). When I posted it during early Spring of 2013, all I got was a copyright notice. I accepted the notice, and, when the video is played, links to buy one of the identified commerical songs from legal online music distributors (iTunes, etc) would display.

Now, after this update, I get that email, and now the audio for the entire video has been muted. The video was all about the music, dammit! This is why people cannot make creative things, because of copyright nazis who dispise creative use

(Here is the video in question. I'll post back in a few minutes as to what is in the Copyright notice page for this particular video)

EDIT: This may or may not be a new "feature" (that being of muting of claimed copyrighted audio). Basically the copyright notice said that several commerical songs were used (no shit), and that ,due to a copyright claim, the audio was muted. I think I am done with YouTube, permanently, and I'll just let the channel rot, and add videos to my website/blog with other video services outside YouTube...

Posted on 11-14-13 05:51:40 AM, in MOVE IT! Link
(Meh, since I am the only up right now to reply to you.)

I have never moved out entirely in my lifetime, unlike your complete rellocation... yet.

I am only 21, and am currently attending a 4-year university for a Bachelor's. Last summer, I recently finished my Community College Associate's degree, and then transfered into said 4-year university for a Bachelors as a Sophomore instead of a Junior, due to some inapplicable credits for Software Engineering major. I commuted the 2mi from home to the Community College, which was right next door to my old High School.

Being bored, being tired of living at home, being tired of living with my dysfunctional family, wanting to grow up and begin to live on my own, and being envious of high school peers who have been living on campus since high school grdauation, I decided to move into a dorm on campus. Also, the campus is 10mi (16.09km) away from home, and I did not want to commute 20mi roundtrips to/from campus for classes into the dangerous, fast-paced highways of Pittsburgh. I also wanted to create a real social life for the first time in my life. The distance is far enough that the neighborhoods of my hometown and college are geopolitically separate townships. What is cool is that my Uncle, Aunt, and cousin live together several streets down from the campus; I need to visit them soon!

Months in advance, I bought the one-time things I would need for the dorm (refrigerator, microwave, dorm chest, printer, etc), and weeks in advance, I began packing everything into boxes. The night before move-in, I packed as much as I could into my car for the first roundtrip. I had almost no sleep the night before, due to nervous anticipation of what I was getting into. Due to restlessness, I woke up and left the house at 5:00AM, went to Dunkin Donuts and bought breakfast, and then drove off to campus. I made two additional roundtrips for the remaining boxes of gear.

The move was quite simple, and I mostly packed the essentials (clothes, school supplies, simple tech gear, some decorations, etc). Many of the residence students do live close by (<25 mi), but still chose the decision to dorm, due to wanting to grow up and live self-sufficiently. Due to the fact that I have not completely relocated, I sometimes go back home in order to pick a few items up or drop some off, when necessary, due to the rather short commuting distance. The students at campus and the neighbors surrounding the campus are friendly, and the town is qaint. Although I will be dorming for the next 2.5 school years, and will be returning home for the summers/school breaks, I did make a request to USPS (which was honored) to forward mail from the home address to the dorm address. Most Americans do not know that such a request can be made, and most do not think about doing this.

Although my father (who is nearing 60) moved out decades ago, he did not move everything of his from his home to his new home (ours). He did leave some toys/non-essential things back at his mother's (my grandmother's) house. There is no "requirement" for having to move everything to your new place. Just want to mention that...

Overall, my move was a good moving experience. I know this moving experience is not exactly the same as moving out into an apartment for life, but I am the only one up to reply right now...

I also have a YouTube account, which is on the Classic YouTube account (yeah!). My username on YT is MrTamk1s. I would have named it simply "Tamkis", but apparently someone had that name already when I created the account last Spring.

The channel is used for uploading videos, most of which gets mirrored to my personal/portfolio software engineering website and blog, "EagleSoft Ltd" and "EagleSoft Labs", respectively. However, due to real life (aka College and a job), lack of free time, and the current YouTube/G+ fiasco, I have not had much time and motivation to post anything recently on any of the 3 sites . The channel is mostly about rohm hacking/homebrew developement, and software engineering, though, ocassionally I do dip into electronics engineering and other things. I mostly hack Super Mario 64, the 16-bit Genesis Sonic games, and sometimes F-Zero X. My biggest rom hack project currently is Super Mario Bros. 64: Return of the Legend, which I am still working slowly on (due to having to "reboot" by moving object data manually from the old rom to a new rom, due to the changes with Skelux's latest ObjImporter).

Although I do still hack occasionally, these days, I am focusing more on creating original content, such as with my Tower Tic Tac Toe game for PC/Gen/Sega CD (and someday Android via QB64 GL Android and Atari XEGS via Atari-BASIC), Sonic CD Breakout (PC), and others.

Although the (potential?) death of WinAmp does not directly affect me (I never used WinAmp), it still saddens me to see this old but reliable music player software to die out. I have been using XMPlay as my primary music player since 2009. The (potential) loss of the plugins and visualization will indirectly affect me, since XMPlay can use WinAmp visualizations via a wrapper, and can also use some of the simpler WinAmp plugins.

R.I.P WinAmp .

Well, I was going to say Mozilla's Kompozer, which is a very easy yet powerful WYSIWYG HTML/CSS editor. It works quite well, and it is also freeware/open source!

I am still on YouTube with my non-Google+ legacy account, and yes, you can indeed still upload a video. If there are any problems with uploading videos on your account, it must be something on your end; ie, bad internet connections or problems with how you are encoding the videos themselves. I can indeed vouch for this fact, due to the fact that today I have uploaded (with no Google- nagging/problems) my first video since the YouTube/Google- fiasco. (Look at the date of upload.)
