to be entirely honest, I don't have much motivation ATM because I keep hitting a wall with CPU/SPC sync ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

I'm sure it can be done without getting into cycle accuracy and without ugly fat hacks, but... how? Anything I could throw at it has failed. ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

well, maybe... I attempted asking at byuu's forum though, and didn't get much help
also doesn't help that I keep wanting to improve the hardware renderer, but at that point there's not much that can be done without impacting performance and/or ending up with a behemoth mess of code (I also had an idea for speeding up software rendering, did a test to see how much I'd gain, but in the end it was disappointing) ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

the software renderer can't really be made faster, though, and it can hardly be threaded ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

Typical server maintenance, server reboots, which implies I get disconnected from my IRC networks because I use a BNC on my server.
No big deal. ZNC quickly reconnects to all the networks, except one. Guess which? That's right. EFNet. After 10 minutes of 'connection timed out' and 'connection refused because I say so', it finally felt like letting me connect. And that's not the only gripe I have against EFNet. A non-exhaustive list: 1) Its amazing stability: Agent004 would keep going down until I fixed its auto-reconnect code. I run a similar bot on another network, it had the same auto-reconnect bug and it would stay on for ages. 2) No services (ChanServ, NickServ, etc...). Any decent IRC network comes with those services, but EFNet is still the Wild West of IRC. 3) Nicks limited to 9 characters. Would adding one character take too much RAM for their Pentium II servers? And more generally, EFNet is stuck in the stone ages of IRC. Okay, let's not make this a simple rant against EFNet. Instead, let's consider the possibilities we have for moving: 1) NoLimitNET, a small network I go to which is fairly good. Also, there's a WiiU hacking related channel there, which is more active than EFNet's #wiiudev. 2) #3dsdev on Freenode. For me, this one is a no-no. I would rather leave than go there. 3) Another idea? Post. The main issue is that the top hackers (who are also the most knowledgeable people) seem to be content with EFNet, so... bleh. ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

Posted by profi200 that's the main issue, yeah, the core is perfectly happy with EFNet Posted by twocows this sounds like more trouble than it's worth, honestly ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

just see the first post, you'll see how long it takes for my ZNC to reconnect to EFNet after deliberately disconnecting (not even a netsplit or anything)
it's not even something wrong with ZNC, it reconnects nearly instantly to all the other networks, but it needs 10 minutes or more for EFNet ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

dunno if they optimized it hard, too
considering they do things like replacing BRR sound samples with preprocessed ADPCM samples (and repurpose an unused SPC700 instruction to handle playback of those sounds) ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

the 'merge' would mostly be 'redirect all activity to Kuribo64 and repost the important shit there', although that would be a good occasion to update the tutorials and other junk
as for being careful, Kuribo64 isn't a total cesspool either, it mostly has the same moderation standards as this place (see, Margen67 was banned ages ago for example) technically: this board would be replaced with a 'go to Kuribo64' page with a timed redirect IRC post reporting would need some tweaks too (Kuribo64 posts are reported to its official channel which isn't #3dsdev) this would reduce maintenance, too I still wonder if it's worth the effort though, given the state of the 3DS scene ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

I can't reconnect Agent004 currently because efnet is being trash.
Ironically, my BNC (which runs on the same server as Agent004) connected fine (well, after the usual ~10 minutes of efnet shittiness). But for whatever reason, Agent004 just doesn't connect. See you tomorrow or something, I guess. In the meantime, no IRC reporting. Sorry for the inconvenience. ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

(also, IRC reporting is back. better late than never. efnet is still trash)
Anyway, let's try this again. I end up checking 4dsdev less and less, and it's not going to get better. But I don't want to let it rot or close it. I want someone who would be interested in administrating the board. That person would be given carte blanche, except for the following points: * no gross power abuse * no elitism -- shooting down a retard is okay, shooting down someone who is willing to learn because they don't already know everything isn't. * no North Korea administration -- permanently banning people at the slightest mistake isn't acceptable, neither is rejecting all criticism you don't like. The administrator will be placed under my authority, I will remain available and occasionally check the board to ensure everything is allright. I mostly don't want the board to get spam or other shit lingering for days or weeks before I notice. PM me if you're interested. Although I will say, if you're not a non-GBAtemp 3DS scene regular, your chances of getting the position are pretty slim. ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

same error was reported at Kuribo64.
god I hate the 'mark thread read' system. ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |

Maybe the boot ROM can only be read when PC is within that region. ____________________ blargSNES -- SNES emu for 3DS More cool stuff |
