Yeah, he's pretty good at repairing technology.

Yeah, he got one recently. What he did was he bought a broken one and some parts to repair it.

Not sure. I'll ask Yoshi later.

Haven't had a chance to compare that yet.

Not a lot larger, but yes.

Correct. Information provided by Yoshi648.

I think the PSP gets 6-8 hours during intense gaming.

Why yes, it is.

I turn Wi-Fi off on long car rides where I don't know how long it will be until I get to charge again. I use 3D when I can hold the system comfortably away from my eyes and am a bit awake.

I typically get about 5 hours out of it of solid playing, but I leave it on standby as I walk around during the day.

I personally found no use for the DSi. I knew something was going to come out with the DSi shop integrated anyway.

Yeah, I've tried that, both with the 3DS and the original DS. It's fairly interesting and makes me wonder why such screens don't yet work that well outside.

I use 3 during school days when I know I have the charger with me, 5 when outside in the sun, and 1 in bed. If I have no idea when I will get access to an outlet or the charger, I'll stick it on 2.

My Wii has fallen into disuse except after getting a new game or when hanging out with friends.

Just don't buy that "special" Wii that drops GameCube support.

Something like Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire would be nice.

Yeah, those also took quite some time to count. I still have to go through them.

Hey, Twiggy. Yeah, I spent about 2 hours transferring about 40 Pokémon from Black to White. It wasn't fun.

Hey, Twiggy. What's up?

Yeah, it's probably the square generation chip.

Ooh, that's pretty cool.

Just realized the picture makes it obvious I wasn't holding the camera perfectly still.

That's the problem with mine. It has very poor macro, which is evident in the picture.

And yeah, I do bring the card over to computer, which has a memory card reader in front.

Nah, for me, it's just as many steps. That one involves finding the cable, and my camera sets next to the phone most times.

*looks at picture, then looks in albums*
Yeah, mine is pretty close to that. It's a bit too sharp, so I make sure to resize it so it doesn't look like that.

I usually am too lazy to get out the camera, take the picture, transfer it to the computer, resize it, and upload it.

What'cha want me to look at in there?

Ah. Umm, I don't think the screen refresh rate on the camera makes any difference.

I think Rumble Blast runs at 30 fps.

*takes a look at the metadata*

f/2.8, 1/25, equiv. 400 speed film,

It's just a bit too basic for my tastes. I prefer being able to tweak a lot of options to perfect pictures.

Probably about the same. I need to get a better camera someday.

OH! You're talking about anti-aliasing. Yeah, the game does have a fair bit of anti-aliasing, especially on the fonts. The original DS has a lot of really pixelated fonts.

Camera motion blur, probably. I tend to take those screenshots in the dark with the camera above the system to reduce glare. Usually, they're not important enough to warrant using the tripod.

Alright, I'm off to bed. Talk to you later.

*runs* Don't bite me!

It's going to bite me!

What would it bite, and why?

That Turtwig avatar? Yes, I do keep looking at it and thinking it's extremely cute.

A fourth Mario & Luigi game? I'm quite sure they'll make one.

Mmm, I'm a big excited about Paper Mario myself.

Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Paper Mario to start

Yeah, I got it yesterday. I'm not a fan of the Mario Kart games, though.

That's currently the only 3DS game I own. Most of the ones I want aren't out yet.

I said "about" because I'm not sure which legends are included. It'd likely be 646 if all but the last three are included.

I think it's pretty fun. It "seems" short at first, but then you realize there is a lot more to the game, especially because you have about 640 Pokémon to collect.

I'm playing Pokémon Rumble Blast, and I'll still be around for at least half an hour. Otherwise, not much is going on.

Nah, it doesn't need to be.

There is. It's not that hard, just kind of time consuming, and as the person who gave it to me said not to post it publicly (sharing links privately--I'll PM it to you--is fine), I wouldn't really have much of a reason to have done so besides for personal reasons.

It's like fifty files altogether.

One file for each instrument

Actually, it's not one SoundFont but many. I was considering combining them all into a single file.

I do still have it. I assume you want it?

Someone shared it on Mediafire, and I lost the link.

Bingo. Someone else had already converted the DLS to a standard SoundFont, so I used that.

It sometimes amazes me what folks can do under such limitations on an 8-bit console.

Ah, that would make more sense. I've heard songs with three squares, but I've also heard some with multiple triangles.

Ah, nice

Oh, it is? I didn't know that (but I do know the channels are a little changeable), but then again, I've been used to the NES specifications.

Ah, it's okay. So what's up?

Hello, again.

Hey look! Another Turtwig. Seems like my species is popular. Nice to meet you!

*Looks at name* Oh, hey Twiggy~

I do not use GXSCC.

Hehe, yes, Hi

Hey, I think you might consider putting in your signature that your name was originally Ophiuchus, because it kinda confused me at first 8P.

ohai

Hello welcome to VR!

Bored, hm? I'm tired. I'm off to bed now.

二時間？

So, what else is up?

(typing, ignoring spaces) nihongo wo chotto hanasu? chanpion ro-do ni youkoso! watashi no namae ha nekoda.

Nah, because I'm the same way. In fact, from what I've heard, native Japanese readers don't usually care about pronunciation of kanji.

Haha, the BW page on Floatzel.Net does it too.

They're both cute, but the avatar is cuter.

Ah, can you Romanize it without cheating?

And that picture is really cute. :3

Er, I'd say no, because a lot of people here associate that with me.

I'm not entirely sure I know what you're asking. Are you asking if you can use it as your avatar here?

My old avatar?

Ah. I've frankly never been a fan of Chinese food.

How has your day been?

I've been here for...2 years I think? I forget. XD

It sure has changed a bit since I last saw it. A few people banned, a few not here, but it's still the same concept which is what I like.

Hello!

I am usually on during the evenings and into the night. For reference, the time here is currently 3:47 AM. I see you live in Malaysia, so there is a pretty big difference between our times.

I shall now be heading to bed, though. Good night, Ophiuchus, and thank you for the talk.

Thank you. I enjoy making new friends and mingling with the members.

From what I've heard, DS games cannot send interrupts to the physical CPU used by GBA games and thus cannot use it.

Probably for legacy purposes, or so games don't require the logic to draw a square wave.

I thought you were asking what in GXSCC was like the DS. I do know about the PCM channels, but I didn't know about the PSG channels. That does make quite a bit of sense. I think some Game Boy style sounds used FM-based triangle waves on a PCM channel, but that would require some actual waveform creation in the game itself.

Ah, alright. Thanks.

Hyper-sine?

It was a cleaned up and imported MIDI file. The original before clean-up was an absolute abomination.

Oh, I'm curious now. How is your name pronounced?

I've been saying it like "oh-few-kus."

You are correct. It's basically like an assembler: you send it code, but the code has to be of the correct syntax to work. Using another tool, mid2mml, you can convert MIDIs, but you have to clean them up before they will even work, and you'll have to setup the headers yourself. That doesn't even guarantee the song won't lose synchronization or even import.

It converts text sequencing into Sony SPC commands for usage in Super Nintendo games, mostly SMW.

A little program called AddMusic and Super Mario World itself.

Yeah, just remember that it doesn't try to meet the limitations, so you're just listening to the sounds of the OPLL as a font.

@VRIM: That would be correct.

The OPLL is an actual FM emulator (well, it uses wavetable audio), yes, but the SCC mode is an SCC emulator.

Going through the current list of online members I don't spot any problems, but I do believe I have had an issue or two with the list in the past. I honestly can't supply an answer since I do not know how vBulletin functions, but I can say that the list is usually pretty accurate.

Yeah. Also was working on some VRIM stuff. Off to bed now, though. G'night.

The limitations of the original chip being met with the emulator

The Konami SCC is an 8-bit sound chip used in MSX computers.

Mmm, I like a lot of Pokémon music, mostly battles.

It's a SCC chip emulator. (Be back in an hour.)

I like chiptunes a lot, and I hate people who just plug things into GXSCC without messing things around to be compatible.

I'm obsessed with lo-fi sound.

Good ol' FM synth.
