巨大的小齒輪

這陣子模擬界較冷清,俗語說 "休息,是為了走更長遠的路" ,也許另一場暴風雨正在醞釀中也說不定...

 

回首接觸模擬器的這段不算短的時間內,從一個 "伸手者" 一路走到現在,個人心境上的變化起伏不算小.

[我想要xxx 至 我能提供什麼] 這句話可代表我這些年來對模擬器的心情.對這個世界而言,訊息提供者老實說人人皆可為,相對於創造者,傳播者實在不值一提.回想以前接觸過的模擬器作者,他們對這個圈子所做出的貢獻無疑是非常巨大的,相對整個群體來說,個體非常渺小,卻是不可或缺的小齒輪.保持熱情是一件非常不易的事,對於這些努力不懈的開發者,我只能致上最高的敬意,但對我這個個體來說,麥克阿瑟將軍所說的 [老兵不死,只是逐漸凋零] 至今又有了更深一層的體會.   之後我想做甚麼.........也許學著寫模擬器試試吧.

PCSX Reloaded SVN Changelog:

r79980

Changing encoding of c strings returned for the linker on OS X to ASCII: I doubt the Mach-O file format is in UTF-8

關於 Raiden 2 (雷電2) 進展

Seibu OOXX**  --寫之前先OX一番再說!  這間公司真是有夠機車,基板加密夠狠!弄倒一片MAME coder ,多少大神在其面前跪下雙膝,令人不禁想起capcom的CPS2基板.一樣機車,一樣變態,還搞自殺電池,真是OOXX至無限! 不過....最後還是給乖乖降服了(皮卡皮卡)...(嗯,錯了,現在非 神X寶貝 時間).

 

kale大神在這塊基板上花了很多時間研究,經過這麼長時間,近日有相當不錯的進展.因為並不了解其加密方式,破解幾乎只能用猜測的方式緩慢進行,目前在光柵與圖層方面進展很大,可以期待未來進一步消息.
