ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

I'm on a couple one-server ircnets and one of em will just spontaneously boot your SSL connection; it's great
<doppler>
I don't think it happens to everyone at the same time, so it's not even close to the typical definition of netsplit
<doppler>
it's just obnox
<doppler>
the other one usually works fine

<superctr_>
it wouldn't be so bad if the FM and PSG was in tune
<superctr_>
even if the FM emulation itself is crap

I mean, I actually don't mind a "crappy" grungy, somewhat overdriven, or somewhat muffled sound. There's a beauty to the imperfection, like records or something. But that..... oof. That sounds *baaaad* haha

So from what I can gather, the ATgames impl of the Genesis uses some of the unused address space to implement new hardware features that nobody asked for
<cr1901_modern>
including breaking all music
<cr1901_modern>
(Thanks for the link andlabs, fun read)
<KillaMaaki2>
Wait so you can get an ATGames genesis to be in tune just by poking some addresses? wtf
<KillaMaaki2>
I thought it must have been some kind of "incorrect clock speed baked into the hardware" sort of deal
<KillaMaaki2>
Man that thing gets weirder the more I learn about it

whitequark, today's xkcd could have been dedicated to you
<KillaMaaki2>
My dad sent that one to me earlier lmfao. As a netcode engineer.... I *felt* that one.

"The game hard-crashes on Windows upon attempting to connect to a game but only on computers set to the Thai locale" was an actual bug I dealt with
<Lord_Nightmare>
i18n sucks
<Lord_Nightmare>
the posix 'locale' thing works* at compile time, but runtime is another story
