People have suggested I use Chrome headless. That will mostly stop the hellish console messages exploding out of firefox as I see them |
|
04:17
🔗
|
SketchCow |
And I can always use the old trick I was using of ingesting the colors along one edge to determine where the screen is |
|
04:18
🔗
|
SketchCow |
But otherwise the same. |
|
04:18
🔗
|
SketchCow |
So we'll see if hitsthings sees something |
|
04:21
🔗
|
bai |
nah, you can grab a png or jpg directly from the canvas |
|
04:21
🔗
|
bai |
you don't need all that phantomjs mumbo jumbo at all |
|
04:21
🔗
|
bai |
just canvas.toDataURI('image/png') |
|
04:23
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Need help understanding. |
|
04:24
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Like, right now I do an Imagemagick |
|
04:24
🔗
|
SketchCow |
How do I yell that at Firefox |
|
04:27
🔗
|
bai |
well, this would be for chrome headless. so what I do for my screenshotter is, I load a special screenshotter.html in my headless chrome, and that runs whatever normal stuff, in this case it would create the emulator and add canvas to the document, etc |
|
04:28
🔗
|
bai |
then at any point, like on timers or whatever like you have it now, you can call var imgbase64 = canvas.toDataURL('image/png'); |
|
04:29
🔗
|
bai |
then the next question is what you do with the base64 image, from there you can either make the browser download it as a file, or you can send it directly to an API |
|
04:30
🔗
|
SketchCow |
This sounds.... involved |
|
04:31
🔗
|
bai |
sure. so's wht you're doing now :D |
|
04:31
🔗
|
SketchCow |
You got me into the restaurant with "simple" and then here we are cooking the souffle ourselves |
|
04:31
🔗
|
SketchCow |
It's all horrible |
|
04:32
🔗
|
bai |
basically, extracting the image data is the easy part. it's the pipeline around that that's hard |
|
04:32
🔗
|
SketchCow |
I can run post-processing on a bunch of grabbed images |
|
04:32
🔗
|
bai |
you have a pipeline for one method but this is a bit different |
|
04:32
🔗

SketchCow |
We're all going to die, aren't we |
|

SketchCow |
you, me, a pile of malformed screenshots |
|
04:32

|
bai |
oh, definitely |

It all comes down to who eats other first |

SketchCow gets fork |
|
04:34
🔗
|
bai |
I mean I can basically give you a function that you could call which would dump a screenshot into the browser's download directory |
|
04:34
🔗
|
bai |
and from there you could do whatever kind of things |
|
04:35
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Well, let's at least ask why I couldn't make chromium-browser headless |
|
04:36
🔗
|
bai |
not sure I understand the question |
|
04:36
🔗
|
bai |
you can |
|
04:37
🔗
|
SketchCow |
I tried chromium-browser --headless |
|
04:37
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Was there other magic |
|
04:37
🔗
|
bai |
well, it's a relatively new feature so I'm not quite clear on exactly which version you need to be running to use it |
|
04:38
🔗
|
bai |
but I think from there, I think yes, either there's a little bit of magic needed to script it if you want to do a bunch of phantomjs-style puppeteering, or you can just fire it at a page which does what you want as a regular old javascript script |

I can spend a little time right now on trying phantomjs 2.5 if you'd like |

I think phantomjs still sucks |

Vito` |
I'm injecting ES5 and ES6 shims and it's still barfing on that React thing |

best bet is to file a bug with the phantomjs folks |

What kind of machine do we want as the "official" machine for Emularity? |
|
14:13
🔗
|
SketchCow |
I'm starting to really gear towards the idea of we just get an AWS instance and use that. |
|

Document it up, write scripts to maintain it, etc. |

I think loading pages from archive.org to screenshot is making things too complicated |
|
15:51
🔗
|
db48x |
just load the emularity scripts, and then run this: |
|
15:51
🔗
|
db48x |
var emulator = new IALoader(document.querySelector("#canvas"), |
|
15:51
🔗
|
db48x |
"Pitfall_Activision_1982"); |
|
15:51
🔗
|
db48x |
emulator.start({ waitAfterDownloading: false }); |
|
15:52
🔗
|
db48x |
where, of course, you put in any item name you want instead of Pitfall |
|
15:53
🔗
|
db48x |
then you grab the image out of the canvas and save it to a file, as usual |
|
19:34

|
Vito` |
hm |
|
19:34
🔗
|
Vito` |
IA scripts do support embeds right |
|
19:34
🔗
|
Vito` |
maybe that |
|
19:34
🔗
|
Vito` |
let me try it real quick |
|
19:48
🔗
|
bai |
well this works http://assets.metacade.com/emulators/win311-wasm.html |
|
19:48
🔗
|
bai |
loads nice and quickly in chrome and ff |
|
19:49
🔗
|
bai |
like damn near instantly, once the data's loaded |
|
19:51
🔗
|
Vito` |
the IA embeds still include react and jquery and stuff |
|
19:51
🔗
|
Vito` |
so they are still broken |
|
19:55
🔗
|
bai |
runs noticably faster on mobile. too bad it isn't emulating touch events properly |
|

if I could use netscape 1.0 on my phone I would be so happy |

db48x: I'm getting "failed to download IA item metadata" |
|
20:32
🔗
|
Vito` |
ah |
|
20:32
🔗
|
Vito` |
okay so db48x's idea might work maybe |
|
20:33
🔗
|
Vito` |
but it'd require having those pages served up by an actual http server |
|
20:33
🔗
|
Vito` |
phantomjs's local-to-remote parameters aren't enough |
|
21:02
🔗
|
Vito` |
nor is specifying a base href |
|
21:03
🔗
|
Vito` |
it redirects to IA properly then, but the screenshots say it failed to configure emulator |
|
21:03
🔗
|
bai |
maybe you need to point it to the cors address directly if it's not running on ia's servers? |
|
21:04
🔗
|
Vito` |
the emularity loader seems to be doing that for me |
|
21:05
🔗
|
Vito` |
but I can't really tell |
|
21:06
🔗
|
bai |
if you see any requests in the network tab for cors_get.php then we're cool |

yeah |

🔗
|
Vito` |
that's where phantomjs stops |
|
21:24
🔗
|
Vito` |
in a browser it loads a bin and a cfg after that |
|
21:27
🔗
|
bai |
hmm, localhost server as in a real webserver you mean, right? as opposed to just loading from files? |
|
21:27
🔗
|
bai |
there are extra security restrictions when loading from files |
|
21:28
🔗
|
Vito` |
yeah I turned those off and set a base href to archive.org |
|
21:28
🔗
|
Vito` |
but it doesn't matter, it's the same behavior as with a localhost webserver |
|
21:29

it stops/breaks on that json file |

both of those seem to be broken in the emularity loader in a browser also |

looks like there might be multiple points of failure here |

db48x: if you can provide HTML that provides a simple, working embed for all types of IA resources, I can try again |

but right now it looks like either emularity or IA are breaking |
|
21:39

|
Vito` |
not only phantomjs |
|
21:40
🔗
|
bai |
hmm. do those games work if you load them up directly on IA? |
|
21:41
🔗
|
bai |
maybe IA is having server issues, it happened to me the other night when I was trying to prep slides the night before my talk |
|
21:49

|
Vito` |
yeah both load up fine directly from IA |
