anyone who thinks that software without bugs actually exists doesn't really know anything about software 😅

@compiler_explorer@hachyderm.io Hi! 👋
I've seen SDCC 4.6.0 ( https://sdcc.sourceforge.net ) have been released a few days ago, any chance to have that added to the list of compilers?
Thank you! 😄

@vgarzareyna@functional.cafe I use C, and an empty source file isn't a valid program in C, therefore a C program that surely doesn't contain any bug doesn't exist 😉
A nice video explaining the fundamental differences between the SEGA SG-1000's video mode 2 and the Master System's video mode 4.

How can two 8-bit systems have such different graphics?

also a big thank you to @raphnet@mastodon.gamedev.place - I used his cartridge programmer (see https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/sms_cartridge_reader_programmer/index.php ) to Flash ROMs on the prototype boards and the open source nature of its firmware meant that it was *very easy* for me to quickly add support for the specific chip these boards use. 😄

... and I forgot to mention that there's also a *complete* #video #tutorial where you can learn by creating a Ms. Pac-Man clone with xfixium 🤩 - check the quoted post below:

@Judeau@mas.to I didn't know that game, but sure the Master System intro is impressive! 😲
it's all fun and games until the complexity goes quadratic 😅

@3rz@freiburg.social yeah I was used to DS/DD and DS/HD later (1.44 MB) but never see that 2S/4D. The explanation makes sense. 👋
Replying to
@nick_ocb@mastodon.social I'd say as a learning project it's a success - but the board has one unexpected 'fault' which severely limits its usefulness. But I'm lucky it's not completely useless, so I'll have some use for that.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems is laptop RAM really so much less expensive to grant this? 😲
Replying to
@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I see. For some reasons I had assumed the laptop RAM prices were surging too... 🤔
Replying to
@leeuw@universeodon.com you should definitely try it! Runs in any Master System emulator - and of course on the real thing! 😄
