I wonder what the azeotrope for magically created alcohol is.
- Comment on What’s the best method for documenting a ROM that I’m reverse-engineering? 3 days ago:
Yeah, it was a budget portable device released in 1995 running a processor from 1984. I think it was just written in straight assembly. I’ve even found some unreachable code snippets in the assembly that print debug messages which confirm that theory.

Thanks for the response!
I think the issue is that the “structured programming equivalent” is just a really, really long function that’s not any easier to read.

Good idea, but the ribbon connects to the other side of the connector.

Yeah, I figure I’ll provide the option of soldering, but I’d just like there to be some other method as well.

Yeah, the GVDCVG is ground, voltage, data, and clock. My board is going to sit between this ribbon cable and the part that normally connects there.
You do make a good point though. I was hoping for an elegant solution where this ribbon cable was the only connected component, but there’s a large exposed voltage testpoint exposed nearby. It’s 1.5mm wide and 3mm from the board edge. I bet I can find a miniature allegator clip or some other way to connect to that.

The iron would probably triple the cost of the kit. The ewaste being diverted here is a $17 vape pen.

Everyone needs to start somewhere. The goal of this project is for an everyman to repurpose some e-waste. Hoping to maybe inspire a few people to learn more.
- Comment on What's a good method for a non-technical person to short the terminals of two 0402 resistors ~1mm apart? 4 days ago:
The circuit in question draws a decent amount of current (probably like 100mA or so), so I thought it better to short the signal line than try to power it directly.

I’ve been using a Dell keyboard I got at goodwill for $4. It’s great.

Android OS runs a modified version of the Linux kernel.
- Comment on What’s the best method for documenting a ROM that I’m reverse-engineering? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m working on that part. It’s just messy because a lot of portions of the code can’t be confined to functions. There’s a lot of GOTO equivalents.

I have a mini-split. There’s no ducting in the walls.

Wonder if they have to pay out to what the coroner determines is the time of death?

One of the temporary fixes for the Chevy Bolt fires was to update the software to detect if the battery was about to go up and then honk the horn to warn everyone which I think is hilarious.

Like not only are we intelligent life, we look like this, and we look like this on the inside, and we have technology that can see ourselves on the inside. And we just thought you’d find that neat.

That’s a good deal. I was looking at eBay and Tindie where even kits were $150-$200 if they were in stock at all.
- Comment on Anybody tried one of these RPi based N64 cart dumpers off Aliexpress? 5 weeks ago:
That’s a great link. Also looks like the cheapest option for what I’m trying to do, so I might just buy it from there.
It’s a bummer that the Sanni reader parts are so expensive despite the design being open source.

Call it a hobby. Having the data from the physical cart brings me joy. Also, I’m looking to rebuild my collection from childhood for when the Analogue3D finally comes out.

I do a lot of my browsing from an iPhone 11. At least twice a day, a page will crash and reload halfway through whatever article I was trying to read. I get it’s a few generations old, but since when do you need state of the art tech to view what should be a static page.
- Comment on NVIDIA: Copyrighted Books Are Just Statistical Correlations to Our AI Models. 1 month ago:
Considering a large portion of cryptography is based around large prime numbers being incredibly hard to find, I find it hard to believe anybody has found a significant pattern in them. That’s kind of the whole point.
Can you link to what you’re talking about?
- Comment on Only ever played OOoT, MM, and WW. Just ordered an Analogue Pocket. Suggest an order. 1 month ago:
Nah. They’re bootleg apparently. Returning them.
The only one I tried was AwakeningDX. It plays with a thick border, and saves don’t persist when you remove the cart. So sending the lot back.
- Comment on Only ever played OOoT, MM, and WW. Just ordered an Analogue Pocket. Suggest an order. 1 month ago:
Yeah. Analogue has a “hack” that lets you play ROMs off SD.
Just thought I’d try to do it “legit.”
