Uncle at Nintendo posted:streaming. there is a lot less compression on 5ghz if you really want 5ghz on other floors, buy one or more replacement antennas on a long cord, and run that up to the next floor. you may need an amplifier with this. this shouldn't cost more than like $60. you may need to double check that the antenna u buy supports mimo

LP0 ON FIRE posted:how did NES do fade to black transitions and the reverse of that? it seems like the NES did over enough colors to get darker versions of the current palette especially for a smooth transition if you look closely at a lot of games that use that effect, they're just halfassing it through close-enough palette changes, and some others will do it by setting palettes to just change some of the pixles straight to black as part of the fade.

# ¿ Sep 5, 2014 04:07 |
|
LP0 ON FIRE posted:ah, yeah i think i saw the 2nd one in chip n dale rescue rangers for the most part they make it look smooth because you get used to the palette limitations of the system when you're playing in it, and also many games take the time to make the transition effect stay on screen for a very short time so there's less time to notice that, say, brigth green is fading to black by way of blue and brown.

LP0 ON FIRE posted:the palette is not in any convenient order to my knowledge so they would probably have to make a list of what colors turn to what darker ones yeah thats simple though, since there's only 54 or 55 unique colors available on the NES (it's technically 64 colors, but depending on who you ask 8 or 9 of them are identical to at least one other palette entry on display)

LP0 ON FIRE posted:neat a good representation: for comparison Atari 2600 128 color palette with an additional depiction of how close you could get the bird sample image to look using the actual hardware (which isn't done for the nes because noone was able to mess around with the various sprites and backgrounds enough to recreate it) and this is the basic 24 bit color test image and 24 bit color chart you see for the palette comparisons: and just for fun, simulations of how the test parrot could be depicted using the built in color palettes you could switch for regular game boy games on a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance:

LP0 ON FIRE posted:for the nes i dont even think a screen could have all the colors used with the combo of a background color, tiles and sprites and i believe tiles and sprites can only use 3 colors plus a transparent yep, the atari 2600 example illustrates that same sort of thing at the bottom of the image. you can get pretty crafty with the color usage but it requires demoscene-level competence and the dude who puts those articles together isn't at that level.

yeah nothing you can upgrade on there that would be worth the cost of doing so versus building a new computer; unless you happen to be able to find a slightly faster processor for free

Luigi Thirty posted:people will pay for those too. some p3 shitbox running 98se went for over a hundred recently yeah mostly because they tend to use significantly less power and often use parts that are still manufactured somewhat. like how the 486 I got for free recently, turns out that the type of RAM it uses is still being manufactured at large scale in the us.
