People are a lot more understanding of bugs in the context of a smaller/indie project. Its more important to just be reactive if/when they come up. Bugs happen. 2026-05-14T16:11:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0tcmywu8aj3nuxwmfdu4x2pedpp2jrhx03wrc0g4stpwjfp7ds0qzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ryv8jgfq I need some floppy imaging advice. I have a Greaseweazle connected to a 3.5&#34; drive. But the floppies I have to image are a bit fragile. When I try to read a whole disk, the first few tracks read fine, but then it starts getting more and more scratchy as it goes, so much so that it starts destroying the disk surface. If I clean the heads, its fine again, for a little while. Is there a way I can read a few tracks at a time so that I can clean the heads in between? Or is there another approach I can use to read these disks? 2026-05-01T21:37:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrcan0tnqjjc9ckxdyrv0uy6yaqt83q5rf33h9j4ychdwe07t857czyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ryr7na24 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd4tn5qyvwfwgc7p37hltzwcnu3wse7n0p77m89sellkp69y8evjcnumtf3'>nevent1q…mtf3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Can you swap out some gameplay code for bossfight code whenever you encounter one? 2026-03-09T15:59:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs88xyfyz48xtea65j6vlpvzwne2j2e9hkpte80y2t4hqchha6t4fqzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ry6xq70g In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy47l09x0rw3fxala7urj279afxt6nnaqpffp6q0e0pud4sczeedsldrxts'>nevent1q…rxts</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>can you do some kind of in system programming so that you don’t have to remove the chip? 2025-10-27T19:52:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqste78dujzkh6nwpd29lxkm2q2hhwg28jdt27kgn62skp8vv7q0gqgzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ry9vrwgq Did someone trip over a network cable?<br/> <img src="https://assets.oldbytes.space/assets.oldbytes.space/media_attachments/files/114/671/843/572/135/149/original/1aceff834d0d0d5b.png"> <br/> 2025-06-12T18:38:45Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8lurhlwan29dzh9rlze25ruag960zxmljt5c9dfg7kux2yxxzv8qzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ry8wpzrf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs97y9jy86rlesryxuyaxzn8xa6y4q7t6ntlhtskl36shaux5jqxzqrvxq9m'>nevent1q…xq9m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>isn’t that lower decks? 2024-08-16T16:13:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrfdz4eq636llmkp9c9ma9krknqv6hmzxkl2cpeunpvrtqdkw96pqzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249rykwe8de In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqrgrcgp2vsf45q2xwnkdjulc24p0cr9hpw6ucufql0r8l6cjtqqnyputd'>nevent1q…putd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>for lines, start with <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm</a>.

I was reading the docs for this analyzer a while back, and I happened to run across a document that described how to “declassify” the analyzer. That is, how to make sure that no classified data leaks out if that analyzer was being used for classified projects and they need to dispose of it or something. The whole instructions were basically 1. Remove floppy disk. 2. Destroy floppy disk. 3. Done! :) it’s a bit more complicated with the more modern units since they have hard drives. 2024-08-12T01:33:42Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs028kxhjpqrcxlkcw927qe9zl7re0fmy0qu32tkucnfel536kuseqzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ry847n0x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw0h2sv393ll8jtq9gxghs3xk9ftl66lwu5c67wurzv5m30wz6d0cvy2wkg'>nevent1q…2wkg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I thought I had a floppy with some saved projects on it that I was gonna send along, but I couldn’t find it 2024-08-12T01:27:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxez5r94es47ecpq32g28q20kdw7j2v7r8zzg97w934uas7vgjr0szyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249rytwycat In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8sdmx422cgy2f5t36tq9keul0ec806aw8ky5yedysrghklf4dxcg3hk4cw'>nevent1q…k4cw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don’t think the contents of that floppy were important.

If you’re doing state captures you’ll also want a clock line that defines the states. If you’re doing timing then I don’t think you need a clock? Since it’s just recording periodically like an oscilloscope. But you’d probably want state for most things since it uses less sample memory. Unless you need to capture the timing itself of course. 2024-08-11T01:04:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdqszt65wh9f9xy5qu84p8mpjs6f9werg7zvsfj2ajs99cncff5aszyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ryyumvr4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp5h9l9wgvyagy2kwq7jm5fuawuvx7kj6rezt89jm8vf9www70u2qxzfkcv'>nevent1q…fkcv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>the trigger system is probably the most complicated part. You can go very simple like trigger on a certain line going low or something. But you can also do things like wait for a specific address to show up, then wait for like 4 more reads. Then wait for a write to another address, then start recording for 10 cycles, etc. It’s very powerful. I’ve barely used all the features. 2024-08-11T00:55:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0wy5z9w67lmxzwf8jhjc68c5yn7tk4g0y63g8k7cttr9984cqu2szyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249rypcxph4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdqvlp76aapz4ktgvt8ha8n632r462ht92a30zfg4av5sh8040tns202ttf'>nevent1q…2ttf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah exactly 2024-08-11T00:50:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswm4uj42s9tvyc2f8lcvl9k75tpslmal2m5jch9vn88ysuzstlx7qzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249ry2t9axu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqf8988c48gq8uyujdz3u3cfr48u43em76xk8v4s3jhlay39f7acqh0n0cu'>nevent1q…n0cu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah it has I think 4 or 8k samples worth? Which should get you a bunch of transactions. But you can get clever with it. I was once trying to look at video timing to make sure I got vsync and hsync pulses correct, but the whole frame was too big to fit in sample memory, but I was able to set up the triggers to count samples rather than record them so I basically got the counts of the high and low signals. So there’s ways to do some fancy things with it. 2024-08-11T00:47:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvt2e8pdqny7lcags94syvh432erzyjr6pt2srqw7hpzdn0gp4wlqzyp5x3zvwfup9sd7cxegv4paxv05fg9j5pxl3lpk3ggcz2cmy249rys3mguw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0gye0m7vdfjpr7ju6znljxs8k59ver9y6qv04j8208twcjhksrsqgqv2xy'>nevent1q…v2xy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>the only limitation is the low sample memory.
