I would recommend having a struct (or class) that embodies an abstract version of the input you're interested in (i.e. not the actual bits of the Dreamcast controller/mouse, but unpacked into elements like confirm button, cancel button, start/pause button, normalized cursor position/deltas, etc.) fa...

prev_buttons is just meant to be a variable with the same type as cond.buttons (don't know what it is off the top of my head). Where you'd declare it depends on the overall structure of the code, but assuming x is declared properly then it should be fine to declare prev_buttons in the same place.

The condition you're detecting is "the Start button is down RIGHT NOW", not "the Start button was pressed" (which implies that it wasn't pressed at some point in the past). If you call this code periodically, it will keep incrementing as long as you hold down the Start button. If...

Can you paste what shows up in the transcript window when you try to upload something?

There are two versions of dcload: dcload-ip (for BBA/LAN Adapter) and dcload-serial (for coder's cable). It comes in two parts: dcload (the Dreamcast-side program) and dc-tool (the PC-side program). The code is in the cadcdev SVN tree if you can build from source; I'm not sure where to find a precom...

Yeah, I have that one too and am generally pleased with it. My only real complaint is that the front USB ports are kinda cheesy (poor fit/finish, iffy cable quality), but I guess that's likely with any lower-budget case.

Cranking up the poly count on models and the size/complexity of levels can pretty easily make an old engine beat the shit out of a new computer.

I doubt it will stop terrorist attacks. By most accounts, bin Laden had become a figurehead and was no longer responsible for actual planning and coordination of operations. Probably, the best we can hope for is that some al Qaeda members will be demoralized by his death. And, of course, not all (or...

I think they believe in the whole female virgin reward only if you suicide and successfully kill others while doing so. As I understand it, it's that being martyred (the idea that suicide bombing qualifies is dubious at best) guarantees admission to paradise, but everyone who goes there will suppos...

Yeah, the "natural born" requirement is pointless. It should just be a citizenship+residency requirement like for the Senate. Republicans (and I) were saying the same thing back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the rising star of the Republican Party. The founding fathers had a reason at the...

Radio Shack is selling a Coby Kyro 7" tablet for $135 (sale price, web-only). Amazon has the same for $138. Reviews are mixed.

There is also a tablet called the Augen Touch. Resistive screen and low spec, but can be had for around $100 here in Toronto. Saw it at JC Penny last time I was in New York. Engadget's preview was actually mildly positive. The Amazon reviews are pretty negative. There are 30 total reviews, and half...

Here's a sample configuration that would at least be "okay" for games. With shipping, this should come out to just under $500: Case: Cooler Master Centurion 5 PSU: Antec Neo Eco 520C MB: Biostar A770E3 CPU: AMD Athlon X2 260 RAM: 4GB DDR3-1333 GPU: Sapphire 100283-3L Radeon HD 5770 1GB HDD...

I've been thinking about it myself; it's definitely not top-of-the-line hardware, but it looks like it might be the best overall value in an Android tablet right now, and it's apparently pretty easy to root it. Do you know whether the one you used was overclocked and/or whether it was running from m...

Trying to keep it at or under $200. Nook Color and ViewSonic Gtab $250 LOL Nook Color and ViewSonic Gtab $250 LOL Nook Color and ViewSonic Gtab $250 LOL Seriously though, judging from some of the articles and reviews I've read, people seem to still be waiting for a "good Android tablet" a...

Not all burning programs will do it. DiscJuggler might not have it since the main purpose of DiscJuggler is to do small-scale production runs (the "juggler" part comes from its ability to run multiple burners at the same time). InfraRecorder should be able to do it (the underlying program ...

Is it possible that you're feeding CR+LF line endings (e.g. from a Windows-based text editor) into a library that expects LF line endings, and thus getting a trailing CR included in your string?

It's so complicated because there's no underlying "platform". The Dreamcast itself has no operating system and no libraries (at least not in the conventional sense), so you can't take anything for granted. What you're building is just a big lump of code that runs on the "bare metal&qu...

This also rather obnoxiously happens in the other direction: things that would be free on PC end up costing money in the App Store. Hell, sometimes people just flat-out port freeware/open-source apps/games to iOS and charge money for them (often without the original developer's knowledge/consent).

Yahoo was not originally a search engine, it was an index. People submitted their site, someone reviewed the submission, and then it got listed in some category. And of course the submitter could pay for expedited review. Once the web became too big for that to work well, Yahoo's fate was sealed.
