I have a philosophical question for you all |
|
00:03
🔗
|
chronomex |
I'm writing an emulator for a computer of which one instance was ever produced |
|
00:03
🔗
|
chronomex |
the patent says that the instructions are 18 bits long |
|
00:03
🔗
|
chronomex |
the manual for operators says that they are 19 bits |
|
00:03
🔗
|
chronomex |
what do I do?!? |
|
00:04
🔗
|
BlueMax |
why would a set of instructions be an odd number of bits |
|
00:05
🔗
|
chronomex |
the memory is arranged in bit-planes, and there's no reason to have any particular number |
|
00:05
🔗
|
chronomex |
it's harvard-architecture |
|
00:06
🔗
|
BlueMax |
Isn't it possible to figure it out by doing the emulator, or are you sorta limited by the fact you can't test with the one working model |
|
00:06
🔗
|
chronomex |
the one working model was decommissioned in 1965 or so |
|
00:07
🔗
|
chronomex |
the two sources are irreconcilable |
|
00:07
🔗
|
chronomex |
the patent is about a year older, so it's possible they added another bit |
|
00:07
🔗
|
chronomex |
though strange |

you add an emulated dipswitch of course. |

I like the cut of your jib. |

DrainLbry |
whoa now, why you looking at my jib. |

BlueMax |
He meant your stub |
|

🔗
|
DrainLbry |
don't you dare try to interface with it. |

Zebranky |
Your jib is private? Fine then. |

can anyone hardware guys ELI5 why a Nintendo RF Adapter wouldn't be working with two Timex Sinclairs with RF Out? RCA-Plug into Sinclair, Coax end into Televison tuned to correct channel |
|

|
DrainLbry |
Power supply output measured with multimeter and is putting out correct voltage |
|

DrainLbry |
is the RF Switch for a Nintendo expecting a Component video instead of an RF Video IN? I'm quite new to the hardware side of things .. |
|

🔗
|
DrainLbry |
pretty sure I just answered myself there ... |
|

DrainLbry: iirc because the nintendo rf adapter auto-switches between antenna and the console, there's something where the old systems don't put out enough voltage to trigger the switch or some such |
|
07:09
🔗
|
DFJustin |
what you wanna do is just connect it directly with an RCA cable and a simple RCA->coax adapter |
|
07:10
🔗
|
DFJustin |
or if you have one of the old school manual switches somewhere |
