   dynamic beam width (values greater than 0 will push larger intensities
   more than smaller intensities)
* fixed ratio of "vector points" (zero-length lines)

生命的消逝

數年前養的一隻流浪貓 "黑仔" 剛剛去當貓天使了。

已經記不得 黑仔 到底養多少年了....我家斜對面有一塊空地，老媽在那裏養了一些雞，每當養雞時就會有一堆麻雀或老鼠會來偷吃飼料，直到某一天， "黑仔"出現了，他不偷吃飼料，而是躲在一旁，伺機抓偷吃飼料的麻雀或老鼠，一段時間後，麻雀與老鼠數量銳減，老媽對 黑仔 讚譽有加，不過也因為如此，黑仔 的食物也跟著減少，之後就跟著老媽來我家了。

在飼養的過程明顯感受到 黑仔 的身體並不好，有時會1-2天不吃食物，但之後都會恢復進食，所以我並不在意。  說句老實話，我並不是特別關心他，因為家裡還養了一隻狗及另一隻貓，不過相處久了都會建立起家人的情感，有時人在外面時也會帶一些 黑仔 喜歡的食物回來給他。

可是這種生活直到上星期開始變調，因為 黑仔 開始不吃食物，起初還以為和之前的情況一樣，隔天就會好，不過情況沒有改善，又恰好老媽參加社區旅行2天1夜，我也有工作在身，只好備些食物及飲水給 黑仔 ，我就去忙工作了。

因為我和老媽從不限制動物的自由，所以狗和貓都可以自由行動，想回家或出去玩都隨他們高興，當天我工作忙完，一回家發現食物都沒動，只有飲水減少一些，當時便感覺不妙，算算時間已近3天未進食，隔天就將他送到獸醫那裏去，醫生做了初步診斷，告知情況很不好，提到可能是腎臟問題惡化成尿毒症，若要治療，費用與時間將是極大的，而且恐怕也來不及了，當下聽完心裡有數，最後帶了一罐高營養的飲品回家，希望在最後一段路讓他舒服點。

看著 黑仔 一天天消瘦，心理非常痛苦，他雖然生病了，卻還是會不假外出，讓我找不到他，幫他灌食，一下就吐光了，只能排假盡量陪他，直到今天，我因為醫院安排的抽血檢查而不得不出門，結束後回家，發現 黑仔 拖著沉重的步伐往家的對面前進，因為沒體力，還沒到路旁就躺下來了，我立刻將他抱到對面，他就一直待在那裏，我每隔10-20分鐘會去看他，直到下午約3點40分，在我去看他時嚥下最後一口氣。

我想把他葬在斜對面空地，因為那裏就是他一開始的家，我撫摸著 黑仔 的身體告訴他，已經不會痛苦了，你已經要去當貓天使了，內心的難過難以言喻，只希望他一路好走，不要再到人間受病痛折磨了。

Happy 30th Anniversary Nintendo Entertainment System

FC 30歲了，Mameworld po出了這個標題，記得我第一台家用主機是 "賓果"遊樂器，之後才是FC，不過FC上的經典實在是太多了，到現在還經常run一些FC遊戲給後輩玩，實在很有意思!

XEBRA v.151011

PS模擬器 XEBRA 發布新版，更新如下 :

①CD:SetlocとSeekとReadの関係性を修正

②Soud Outputの変更

XEBRAのサウンドは初めに最も手軽なPlaySound()で実装していました。
このAPIはキューイングができないため、
ループ再生・バッファ書き換えという手段を採りました。
しかしバッファの再生位置が分からないため
タイミングによっては再生位置と書き換え位置が重なり不具合が出ていました。
その後、再生位置を把握できるwaveOut系のAPIに変更したのですが、
この時キューイングのことは頭からすっかり消えており、
ループ再生・バッファ書き換えのままでした。
今回の見直しでwaveOut系はキューイングが出来ることが
分かったので、バッファの位置調整は不要となりました。

③GDIのスケール処理対応

OpenGLとしてエミュレーションドライバしか入っていない場合や
垂直同期制限が掛かった環境が増えているように感じています。
その場合GDIの方が速いので、GDIでもスケール処理できるようにしました。

④CUE2CCD

cueシート形式は元々CD「ディスク」イメージを作成するための
「トラック」イメージとタイムシートであり
狭義にはディスクイメージではありません。

SYNC,HEAD,EDC,ECCを省略せず(1セクタ2352バイト)、ギャップも省略せず
全セクタを連結したものが狭義のディスクイメージと言えます。

cueシート形式でも結果的に狭義のディスクイメージになっている場合があり、
XEBRAではこの場合のみ対応しています。
そうでない場合は扱いが面倒すぎるため、XEBRAだけでなく
殆どの仮想ドライブが対応していないわけです。

嘗てはDAEMON Toolsでマウントして吸出せば良かったのですが
DAEMON Toolsが色々と面倒臭いソフトになってしまったので
ccd形式へのコンパータを作成してみました。

higan v095

老任多機種模擬器 higan 發布新版，更新如下 :

After 20 months of development, higan v095 is released at long last!

The most notable feature is vastly improved Game Boy Advance emulation. With many thanks to endrift, Cydrak, Jonas Quinn and jchadwick, this release contains substantially improved CPU timings and many bugfixes. Being one of only two GBA emulators to offer ROM prefetch emulation, higan is very near mGBA in terms of accuracy, and far ahead of all others. As a result of these fixes, compatibility is also much higher than in v094.

There are also several improvements to SNES emulation. Most significantly is support for mid-scanline changes to the background mode in the accuracy profile.

Due to substantial changes to the user interface library used by higan, this release features yet again a brand-new UI. With the exception of video shaders and NSS DIP switch selection, it is at feature-parity with the previous UI. It also offers some new features that v094 lacked.

The cheat code database has also been updated to the latest version by mightymo.

Lastly, I will not be offering official 32-bit Windows binaries going forward. higan will technically build and run on 32-bit systems, but I am tired of having to jump through flaming hoops to update MinGW32's headers that haven't been updated since 1996. The 10% performance hit for running in 32-bit mode is also a significant deterrent. If anyone wants to take over 32-bit Windows builds, I'll happily link them from the higan downloads page.

September 29, 2015:
 PSX: Added skeleton BCzF/BCzT instruction emulation, and fixed handling of illegal CP0 instructions.

September 25, 2015:
 PSX: Added emulation of CPU exception-handling bad address register.

 PSX: Implemented emulation of the Coprocessor Error field in the CAUSE register.

 space to the beginning.

September 18, 2015:
 PCE: Removed experimental and unfinished hypothetical subtitle hardware emulation which had a few security-related problems.

September 16, 2015:

 at $1D00.

 PCE: Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the "TIMV" register in the debugger to display "FFFFFFFF" instead of "FF".

 The date and time of the compilation of qtrecord.cpp are no longer written to recorded QuickTime movie files, to solve
 a minor privacy issue and a build reproducibility issue.

 PSX: Rewrote parts of the timer emulation code to fix several issues; fixes wrong music playback speed problem
