I'd hit it.

That's actually a pretty decent idea. Though I wonder what happens if you're in the middle of a read / write and you slide that button...

Still, this might be worth looking in to.


USB devices rarely ever get close to the theoretical maximum speeds of the protocol / bus. This is in part due to the overhead involved in the protocol itself (error correction, latency in waiting for reponses), and can be due to the hardware on the device itself. For example, if the hardware has to send lots of data but the amount it can send per packet is small, say, 64 bytes or something. Many USB devices have custom firmwares as well, which adds another layer of software to potentially slow things down. There's probably other reasons but I can't think of any at the moment...

Turn lanes are no cure for stupidity. They also give the idiot drivers more lanes to swerve across. I was coming up to a left turn arrow once and starting to slow down for a red light in that lane, when this moron who was two lanes over (far right) decided to cross two lanes of traffic into the far left turn lane suddenly. I ended up having to swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid a collision b/c his lane change was so sudden and his car was probably inches in front of mine by the time he made it into my lane. I ended up accelerating around him, the first person in line waiting for the left arrow to turn green, with him right behind me. I've never wanted to pummel a fellow motorist so badly as that day. The fucked up part is that if I had actually hit him, I probably would have been labeled as being at fault by the police or whoever b/c I would have rear ended him, unless there were some quality witnesses paying attention to what was going on.

Posted on 10-07-10 05:37:27 PM, in Advent - Integrated SNES Debugger Plugin Link
(cross posted from RHDN)

Imporant: While it could be used by a novice SNES 65c816 hacker, this set of tools is primarily aimed at experienced users that are jaded with the SNES debugging status quo

Advent is a plugin for Notepad++ that bridges the gap between the textual aspect of coding assembly language for the SNES and actually running it in an emulator debugger. It is modeled to some extent after Visual Studio (and other similar graphical frontends to debuggers). Advent as a whole could be thought of as an entity depending upon three modules:


  • The Advent plugin DLL (authored by yours truly)

  • A special build of byuu's xkas version 0.06 (see http://byuu.org/programming/)

  • A special build of byuu's bsnes version 0.67 (the debugger build)



  • This is quite a specific set of tools, but nothing about this setup necessarily dictates that they be used. Notepad++ is Windows only but a comparable editor on Linux or Mac could have a similar plugin developed. Geiger's Debugger could be interfaced with this debugging protocol without too much fuss. Other assemblers could output the same debugger information. In fact the debug information format ought to be rewritten in the future to be more compact and contain more information, but that's getting ahead of ourselves.

    One thing I should note is that xkas v0.06 has macros and this presented a bit of a stumbling block for outputting debugging information. So stepping over / into a macro may make it seem like you've lost the current line marker, but it will reemerge after the end of the macro. Currently only the first instruction of a macro will register in the debug file.

    Download Link
    (contains a readme with instructions)
    http://math.arc-nova.org/Releases/Advent_v010.zip

    BSNES screenshots:
    early image showing remote breakpoint enable / disable
    current (tad ugly) image showing added stepping commands

    Notepad++ screenshots:
    early image using stock marker symbols
    later screenshot with custom marker symbols added
    current screenshot showing debugger commands

    Imporant: I'm not interested in any complaints about the current tools involved (see the arguments above for why it is irrelevant to complain about them)

    By complaints, I generally mean critiques along these lines, not actual bugs:
    Complaint: "bsnes is slow on my computer"
    My response: it's not perfect on my computer either

    Complaint: "Notepad++?!!! Why don't you use Notepad2 / Crimson Edit / TextPad / MaxiPad / Notepad Advent Children / etc?"
    My response: that's like, your opinion, man

    Complaint: "xkas v0.06 is discontinued"
    My response: yeah but a lot of people still use it b/c later versions, while having cleaner syntax, lack features that v0.06 had, and at least in my peer group v0.06 still seems to be widely used.

    Glad we got those out of the way. Hope at least someone has some fun with this.

Now that you mention it, this would actually work a lot better for homebrew than for rom hacking, b/c with a homebrew you (almost certainly) have access to all the code being assembled.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
