I would have loved a lit screen like that. Oh the days of straining my eyes next to a lamp or window.Xilef":c2g9pu7v said:Completed a small hardware project, I'm quite proud of this one;
Or playing in vain in the car after night without a flashlight. Yes! Going under a street light.
I compared with a stock GBA and it's just infinitely better.
I had an overhead bulb attachment for my GBA, that helped but the glare spot was equivalently as bad.
I am just so blown away at how good the backlight is. Every game looks brilliant and you can finally appreciate how great GBA games look.
Sure, the SP exists, but I never liked the SP.
I totally pimped out my GBA. Glass screen, new shell, cleaned up the buttons and replaced the membrane contacts. The finished thing is sitting on my bookshelf displayed as an icon of my childhood.

I wanna do stuff like this; pimp out shells for handhelds, customize them with hardware additions, things like that. It seems like a lot of fun to do.

/Pol fanfiction is being passed off as a CIA Intelligence report by news outlets and people are eating it up as fact. Wew, chat a time to be alive.
Makes me wish I could renounce my citizenship and move without being taxed into oblivion for it.

I can't fucking believe it, to be honest.
- Even if you look past the blatant misspellings in the dossier
- Even if you look past the improper formatting and incorrect headers
- Even if you look past the fact that it's from an anonymous MI6 official who doesn't use British-English
- Even if you look past the fact that there are screencaps from months ago on /Pol of the story being developed and passed off
The document contains claims that Trump rented out theaters to watch Hentai while having hired hookers pee on Obama's bed
Like, sweet fucking Jesus. These people get paid astoundingly well, and this is allowed to happen.

I'd like to do this myself. But I don't love my GBA to spend more than $30 on it.

So what's next on your list?
You ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)coyotecraft":v1sh06la said:
Got some Digimon toys that still need refurbishing. EU D3 needs screws that fit and for the battery cover bolt to be reset into the plastic. Got 20 18mm piezo speakers for EU Digivice 99 as I broke that when I was trying to fix the A button, of which I got some alcohol to clean that with which may fix it. Got new screws that fit the Original Digimon 97, so those can be cleaned up and restored. Need to order a key-chain for one of them (missing ti) and melt in some kind of bar to hold that in. Still need to find a UK vinyl sticker printing company that can do the replacement battery warning stickers at the right resolution for a good price.
There's a load of software mini-projects I'd like to do that will never get done as I don't have the time.
The whole owning a company gets in the way of these silly projects. Still working on my game, which is a nightmare because I'm trying to resolve some security stuff which is always difficult. Still selling tech to other studios, got a big chunk of money from that just now which has gone into the company vault. May have some Unity related work coming up - don't think it's games related, bizarrely.
Edit: I think I just figured a way to do triangle rastering in MV's software renderer. I can probably do a very quick 3D map example.

He refers to Hentai as Japanese cartoons and not art. There's enough proof right there
Can people please tell me how smoothly this MV title-screen runs for them?

pretty clunky. About 25seconds for him to do a rotation. even the menu buttons are delayed about 2-3 seconds.
Thanks loads, gives me a good idea of what to expect from this.coyotecraft":1g5q3cpn said:
It's very CPU dependant and because I'm on a super computer it runs at full speed for me.
There's around 600 triangles for this model.
EDIT: I added some culling (backface, viewport), could you check again please? My profiling on chrome says it's the actual drawing that's the slowest part, so culling should reduce that.
EDIT2: Rendering every other frame helps massively with the responsiveness.

I think it's worst :/
But there's more on the screen now.
