Kind of. The NES also used cell-based graphics and reusable tilemaps, which I think the 8 bit guy made a video about.

The NES has a picture processor (PPU) that has special things made for 2D, cell (tile)-based graphics with hardware sprites. Being able to reuse tiles and express each tile with a few bytes really helps keep things small, as storage was very expensive back then. Also, without bank switching (which SMB1 did not have), the 6502 could only address up to 64kb of memory (including ROM and RAM).

The music was also kept small, as it was generated in real time by the audio processor that was embedded in the CPU.

I’m sure there’s a disassembly out there along with some YouTube videos if you want to understand a bit more. IMO programming for these old systems is more fun compared to modern systems, which in comparison, have no limitations. It is a boon to creativity.

They already have a free version of Windows. Just don’t activate it.

How did you go about doing that? I wanted to ask them about being able to replace the primary bootloader, including signing keys for any device that a user has paid for, which is a step above bootloader unlocking.

Kind of like installing coreboot or libreboot on a PC/laptop.

Microsoft would prefer that you pirate Windows rather than use Linux, as it further entrenches their dominance in the market.

They mainly make their money off of business licenses anyway, similar to Adobe and Autodesk.

There’s a reason massgravel’s scripts are hosted on Microsoft’s GitHub platform and hasn’t been taken down.

Marxism is the one thing that has given me hope for the future when everything now constantly looks so bleak.

Richard Wolff is who got me into Marxism personally.

Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.

Nowadays it’s maintained by the Tor Project.

Well that would imply that they are hypocrites.

Well it wasn’t made by the US Navy, it doesn’t allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I’m sure there are other differences too.

It’s like Tor, but different.

GNOME is the Apple of the FOSS world

That looks like exactly what I need. Seems to work pretty well already.

Thanks!

Yeah, I saw the image just fine.

But does it fire in spurts, though?

So they’re finally here, performing for you.

Well you see, they put it in page 69 of their EULA that got updated last week that they emailed directly to your spam folder. Since you didn’t opt out of that clause my sending a registered letter to their offices in Uganda, Japan, Washington, and Ukraine, it is considered that you agreed to the EULA.

Yeah. I find myself using Google Maps on a web browser to look up the coordinates, then copypasta-ing that into Organic Maps.

If you had access to wLE already, why didn’t you just back up the saves to a flash drive, or just make a complete image of the memory card?

Also on PS3, can’t you just copy saves to a flash drive in the stock OS? Even if not, jailbreaking is easy.
