Neo Rasa posted:This and its sequel are two of my favorite shooters ever, the presentation is just too good. Then you'll want this rare resin kit of the two main characters! It's only 30,000 yen! It wouldn't surprise me if the developers themselves made these kits in their spare time. Trouble Shooter / Battle Mania is just that sort of game. I love finding stuff like this. Maybe someone made toys for Boogie Wings or Vice: Project Doom.

So I been looking into the MSU1 patches since my SD2SNES arrives today, and I managed to track down all the ones available except Chrono Trigger. I don't get why the only soundtrack supported is some fan orchestra remix that the guy is charging money for?

He paid to license the Chrono Trigger music and produced an exceptional album with that license. So maybe pay him for it, guy who just spent $200 on a flashcart.

That all I just wondering. I thought it was some fan soundtrack that Square could easily shut down for charging money for. That and I just wondering why there no alternative, as the still in beta Final Fantasy VI one has a similar orchestra soundtrack you can purchase to use with it, or some other options as well. [edit] Can you even get the flac version anymore? I looked at the website and the Loudr version are no longer available for purchase. They are still on itunes, but can you even get the flac version through them? Rirse fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Yeah it turns out I had the wrong version of the patch (and xdelta, since I used the link in the old patch's readme). Doesn't matter as the new non-GUI version of xdelta also gives the exact same error message in the CMD window. I don't know what you mean by auto-patcher? Is there some way to apply the xdelta patch automatically? Maybe by next month I'll get to the point where I can start researching what "adjusting the cue sheet" means, what programs you need for that, and what version is compatible with this patch. Also whoever decided that giant walls of block text (with no line breaks or spaces between paragraphs  ) are still an acceptable format for instructions needs to gently caress off.

You'll need to view the readme in WordPad or Notepad++. It probably uses UNIX-style line breaks, which Notepad won't handle correctly. e: fb TheRedEye posted:I had this exact same thing happen with my grandpa and an Intellivision, what's up buddy

Well thats much easier to read. I completely missed the Manual Patching separator due to the poo poo formatting, so I thought you had to drag/drop the bin into the batch file, then convert the .ISO file using the instructions under Patching, which included running xdelta. What does "adjusting the cue sheets" require, and did you mean the one included with the patch, or the original one that came with the image?

Random Stranger posted:They've only had this error (and it really is an error since it's not handling line break codes correctly) in notepad for thirty years. I'm sure they'll fix it any day now. If you asked people in Microsoft, they'd fire back and say that "we're doing it right, everybody else is doing it wrong." Which basically goes all the way back to the days of typewriters where every time you had a line break, you had to send a CARRIAGE RETURN message to move the print head back to the beginning of the line, and a LINE FEED to move the page up by one line so that the print head is typing on the second line. Microsoft says that you absolutely have to have both for a new line, and when Bell Labs made UNIX, they said "ehhh, if you just use line feed, that you also want a carriage return is pretty loving obvious." And Microsoft has dug their heels in ever since.

These are just down the road from me, are they at all worth picking one up? I'm just using an old non-flat CRT at the moment.

I'd be in my car driving there right now tbh. Edit: I looked around, it's a 31khz monitor. So, a REALLY NICE 480p monitor for stuff like Wii/PS2/Dreamcast/emulators, but might not do 240p 15khz? I'd still grab one myself though, but I might be kind of extreme as far as that goes. TheRedEye fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Instant Sunrise posted:If you asked people in Microsoft, they'd fire back and say that "we're doing it right, everybody else is doing it wrong." Because the method Microsoft used was common on tons of systems, ranging from expensive mainframes to many microcomputers. For a while Macs did neither method, they used only Carriage Return, before switching to using only Line Feed with OS X. And then there were tons more systems that cooked their own non-ASCII standard codes to indicate a new line specifically. Incidentally, sending just a line feed or just a carriage return to actual printers or teletypes was used for drawing complex things using just text, or could be used to do things like faking bold by typing the same character twice, faking underline by going to the beginning of the line and overprinting underscores, etc. Planning for/allowing for this is why the ASCII standard explicitly requires the two separate commands, and why Microsoft and all the other companies that also require CR+LF are simply following the standard instead of trying to save a few bytes here and there by only using 1 control character.

All I know is it makes being an admin more difficult, because people say, "Oh my job is failing can you put this input file there instead, Mr. Root?" Then they scratch their heads about why their job's still not working until I get fed up and run dos2unix.

Yeah, but this battle was lost by the end of the 80's and the standards naturally drifted. Refusing to handle ASCII text the way it's used everywhere else (including their own products), at this point is just silly.

Except they do handle it the way it's used "everywhere else", Windows is the dominant platform. The standards didn't drift, they're still the same as ever. You should probably ask why the AT&T engineers never bothered to get with the standard at some point in the 70s.
