mastodon 4.7.3lapsed software engineer. living 10 minutes into the future. now creating emulators and tools for the modern Atari2600 developer https://github.com/JetSetIlly/Gopher2600
I loved ripping music modules from Amiga demos and games and I've often wondered what a ripper would look like for the Atari 2600.
It's very difficult to do on the 2600 because of the lack of standard formats. But I think I've found a way.
What we can do is record the audio information from the live emulation, which can then be saved to a format of our choosing.
The web based tracker you see in the 2nd half of the video was developed by Matthew Halpern.
This old lady in #KCD2 has a USB stick hanging from her belt.
v0.7.3 of Test7800 my Atari7800 emulator (I really need a new name. It's progressed further than I expected when I started the project)
Introduced a very annoying bug in a single commit. I've been staring at it for several hours and can't see what the problem is
I thought I'd give Claude (via the Github interface) a go, because people seem to enjoy it and report success with it
My prompt gives two commit IDs and I asked Claude to analyse the differences to see why the bug may have occurred (I included some details of the bug)
Claude responded that it doesn't have the commit diffs available to inspect
Complete waste of time.
I'm looking for a data sheet for a very old RAM chip with the serial number CO20231-01. The Internet has failed me so far.
Can anyone in #electronics suggest a good place to ask?
Playing #KCD2 I'm genuinely shocked at the consequence of turning down one of the missions. I was not expecting that at all.

The comment gore I find in my own code is sometimes so bad I have to wonder what's going on in my brain. The code works but the comments are borderline gibberish.

I was hoping this website was a list of bin collection times. Definitely an area councils need help with https://gtfobins.org/
