I did it the long way. My own layout, paper, design management. Lot of work, but it did pay off in the end as you can fully control every single aspect in the queue including watermarks and layovers. Dont know of a shorter way beside other peoples libraries which do the same (one person offered his ...

True, i totally ignored that part too

I wasn't talking about instruction interference, but interference by emitted electromagnetic waves. Its certainly an esoteric topic, but it does exist and has uses even nowadays. This is not the place to talk about it, but its not just a wacko idea. If you seriously want to dig into this, you needed...

Could you give a proof that image or sound quality is "up" / higher ? I don't see how a few useless asm operations could lead to such a result. i keep thinking he talks about stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Me9_seb4ss Different assembler and instruction timings have very ...

IMHO your "timing" code is totally hardware specific and i keep wondering if you are aware of that. Have you ever verified these codes on a completely different CPU which uses different timings? It's the kind of assembler code we used at '386 times in demos and the real problem has always ...

When I create an exe, even from the examples folder. It's 50% of the time, it throws that error, then I run it again, and it works. Then I open the directory where the exe is, I see it, then it disappears. Sounds exactly like the antivirus problem i had. Disable the antivirus as a quick test while ...

If something seemingly harmless crashes on a ProcedureReturn, it is usually because the stack got corrupted earlier in a way that didnt result in a crash immediately. Your bug likely hides in the previous instructions before that call to MinMax(). I am assuming that you used the x86 compiler version...

why report them when you can get free 32gb sticks from them

ps. I tried to register Visual Studio today, free Community Edition. It seems impossible to do so without 1) a smartphone (can't even use a landline), and 2) the computer using Visual Studio must be connected to the internet!!! What about developers who follow secure practices and don't necessarily...

A sprite is a rectangular box of pixels. It usually has a mask, to skip pixels where the background should be seen. Often there is one specific color reserved to avoid a mask. So the code fetches a pixelcolor and if its the special pixelcolor the "plotting" of the pixel will just be skippe...

soweit, so gut ... aber

Die Libs laufen nicht unter dem Unicodemodus.

Wie sieht es da aktuell also mit aus?

What I see are the words "poor design" , which, sadly, is a fact. Texas Instruments have always manufactured the highest quality electronics, and the TI-99/4A was no exception. It comprised some of the finest componentry from Texas Instruments, especially the 16-bit TMS9900 processor, and...

I have stated the problem with superblocks several times, and will not repeat myself on that topic. But to satisfy those that still complain I have made no coding request, it should be obvious: Remove or modify orphaned superblocks to avoid future confusion. That means direct writes to specific sec...

No answers yet I see, but at least it is getting some attention. I've stayed away a few days to let this simmer a bit, and get a broader response possibly. As to dome og the points raised: Testdisk reports both FAT32 and NTFS superblocks as well. So they go deeper than you realize. Potentially, the...

Dealing with filesystems and their structure, can get complicated. The ability to access raw blocks of a hard disk, in an attempt to rescue data from some kind of logical data corruption (no matter if it was the partitioning data or a filesystem structure has been affected), is a tiny step. What you...
