00:03 🔗 SketchCow I sent him one more thing, and then I'm going to ask for more help.
00:03 🔗 SketchCow I have to go find where we defiined the request on twitter so I can make it again.
00:22 🔗 SketchCow So disappointing/tiring
00:27 🔗 SketchCow https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/936753442554634241
00:34 🔗 SketchCow bai: Multiple people coming in
00:34 🔗 bai I should do a write-up of the challenges or something
00:36 🔗 SketchCow Yes please
00:40 🔗 SketchCow Hi, hi, folks.
00:41 🔗 A_Scanner has joined #jsmess
00:41 🔗 A_Scanner Hello,
00:41 🔗 A_Scanner Somebody need a bit of help with c++ / javascript stuff?
00:42 🔗 SketchCow Yep
00:42 🔗 SketchCow bai can explain/provide a link
00:42 🔗 SketchCow or 10
00:42 🔗 SketchCow bai: Maybe we should do a google doc?
00:42 🔗 SketchCow We can just add the overview and the rest quickly
00:42 🔗 SketchCow hacking parrrty
00:43 🔗 A_Scanner awesome. I was just heading out to the 26oo meet but I can postpone going for a bit.
00:44 🔗 bai nah if you're heading out, go for it - we should really organize some of these thoughts so we can share and collaborate better, explaining them on irc for each person who wants to have a crack at it gets rough :D
00:44 🔗 bai it's a tricky problem with a lot of run-up knowledge
00:44 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, just idle here and we'll work on that doc.
00:44 🔗 SketchCow bai: Should I start it or you
00:44 🔗 A_Scanner Google docs sound pretty good.
00:45 🔗 bai go ahead and start it and do the quick overview, and I'll fill in the details when I get a chance
00:46 🔗 A_Scanner I've got 12/ish years experience in programming and I like challenges. I learned with C++ but haven't dipped into it as much as I'd like. I'm good at gnarly problems tho/
00:46 🔗 bai how's your JS?
00:46 🔗 A_Scanner so anyways, I'll idle and be back on later. I can get in real deep shit with JS.
00:46 🔗 bai this is one of those weird problems that spans both worlds
00:46 🔗 bai excellent
00:48 🔗 A_Scanner Sounds like a juicy problem. Looking forward to the write up.
00:48 🔗 SketchCow bai: You're invited to edit
00:51 🔗 SketchCow https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FHmn1kO3PGYYCRJejZsZMFk_BxWer_pOaTUANRFroM8/edit?usp=sharing
00:51 🔗 SketchCow (That's the view version)

03:27 🔗 SketchCow Nobody talking though
04:22 🔗 SketchCow bai: Any time to do it tonight or should it wait
04:46 🔗 A_Scanner I'm baaack..
04:46 🔗 A_Scanner looking at the google doc
04:47 🔗 A_Scanner k. Is a good start.
04:49 🔗 A_Scanner So... stupid question what OS/platform and version do you you use for mame? IE.. what type of vm should I use to compile mame and is there a preferred branch/revision etc that I should use as source?
04:56 🔗 bai SketchCow: I'll fill in some stuff tonight, harass me if I don't :D
04:57 🔗 A_Scanner I take it http://www.mess.org/compiling_mess is up to date? I'll get that set up in the morning.
04:58 🔗 bai A_Scanner: I normally use a linux system to compile, ubuntu is my personal preference but whatever you're most familiar with, as long as it's new enough, should work
04:58 🔗 A_Scanner bai: cool. I'll just pop a vm up just for this to keep things neat and tidy.
04:59 🔗 bai the compile instructions for the web version are a bit different - those instructions are for building a native build
05:00 🔗 bai but you probably want to go through that process once first anyway just to make sure you get all the prerequisites to building
05:00 🔗 A_Scanner Ok cool. Is the web stuff documented someplace?
05:00 🔗 bai plus you need a native build to get information to build the stripped-down web builds, anyway
05:01 🔗 bai let me see if I can find official docs. we used to have a complicated custom build process, but now it's been built in to MAME's normal build process
05:02 🔗 A_Scanner right-O! Yay, checkpoint to make progress. I've got to get some sleep for a while but I'll work on this midmorning.
05:02 🔗 bai https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/1bcb694f8d7db37e03f07c080edcded5fb22f554/docs/source/initialsetup/compilingmame.rst#emscripten-javascript-and-html
05:21 🔗 SketchCow DFJustin: https://archive.org/details/a8b_scat_217 - any idea why that dies
05:23 🔗 SketchCow Ignore, it's some cookieish
05:29 🔗 SketchCow Well, this has been a frustrating screenshot night
05:29 🔗 SketchCow Getting the atari screenshotting to work, huge pain in the ass, no reason.
05:30 🔗 SketchCow But sounds like we're getting some MAME work done, that's great

19:55 🔗 A_Scanner I'm just getting a new vm installed to use for this. I found out that virtual box and hypervisor-v really, really don't like each other.
19:56 🔗 Scanner_A has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
21:15 🔗 A_Scanner Been compiling for a while. of course needed a few packages to fully compile and as usual... it's an iterative process. I'm currently compiling mame itself.
