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. Channel logs: https://freenode.irclog.whitequark.org/~h~yamahasynths

bah, those pin headers are too closely spaced together, and the jumper isn't wide enough; I wonder if I can bend the pins outward and have two freely standing pieces of header...

<andlabs>
okay so the pins were wide enougha fter all to fit in two adjacent slots
<andlabs>
I had mom cut them into four individual pieces and one paired piece (they were originally in units of 3 pins)
<andlabs>
the individiual units don't say in
<andlabs>
the pair units are too top-heavy with the jumper and like to fall out
<andlabs>
I should have just gotten the special built ones on amazon
<cr1901_modern>
did you buy metric pin headers instead of imperial?
<superctr>
"Acer Cloud Technology, formerly iGware, formerly BroadOn, formerly RouteFree. Can these guys settle on a name already?"
<superctr>
I see then. Probably there's some connection to Silicon Graphics too
<superctr>
another fun thing: the leaked docs clearly indicate that the "IOS" is an abbreviation of "IOP OS" or "Input/Output Processor Operating System"
<superctr>
haha, the source code for N64DD IPL is included here too, with the N64 cube animation and all
<superctr>
there's some leftovers from the SM64 code there too
<cr1901_modern>
I still can't believe SM64 was decompiled so successfully the dev tools can create a bit-perfect copy
<cr1901_modern>
I mean, still not gonna be fun to read b/c the var names suck, but still impressive

cr1901_modern: if this leak is missing something that would explain why it isn't getting a lot of attention; the omar files are way more authoritative but no one wants to touch those with a thousand foot pole
<andlabs>
[06:40:59] <cr1901_modern>I still can't believe SM64 was decompiled so successfully the dev tools can create a bit-perfect copy
<andlabs>
they finally learned from the sonic scene
<superctr>
i think this has most of the stuff if not everything that was in the omar files
<andlabs>
lol
<andlabs>
even better
<andlabs>
n64 scene is gonna excommunicate these files too and nothing will ever improve
<andlabs>
sorry I'm very opinionated about these things, and my opinion is the minority opinion
<andlabs>
also I hope anonyfiles isn't legitimately this slow lol
<superctr>
there's a torrent in the internet archive link, that one is much faster
<andlabs>
yes, I'm getting both
<andlabs>
the torrent just finished
<superctr>
but even better is a mega link from the original 4chan thread, that one stripped the RCS data
<andlabs>
and AF does seem to be legitimately that slow
<andlabs>
so this has MORE stuff?
<superctr>
actually, it's good the RCS is being preserved too, that can be really interesting in the future
<andlabs>
wow good job 4chan
<superctr>
But if you want to easily preview the files, you need to get the version with the stripped RCS
<andlabs>
total betas lololol
<andlabs>
oh
<andlabs>
I still need to investigate how to dump ASICs
<andlabs>
generically
<superctr>
there's so much stuff in this leak it's going to take a long time to go through all of this
<andlabs>
if Sik is correct the Sega CD 1 ASIC may soon die
<superctr>
you can't dump an ASIC
<superctr>
the best you can do is take a photo of the die and try to identify every standard cell
<andlabs>
that's hwat I thought
<superctr>
furrtek has managed to do that with a few chips
<andlabs>
still would be cool to be able to do that at home
<superctr>
but there is no such thing as "dumping" them, as in putting the chip in a socket and just press a button :P
<andlabs>
also, x-raying PCBs
<andlabs>
can I ast least dump arbitrary signetics PLAs
<andlabs>
that would be useful too
<superctr>
maybe, if there's no "protect" bit
<andlabs>
yay
<andlabs>
time to build third-party dumpers then
<andlabs>
but meh righ tnow I'm still worrying about what I'm going to use to replace hard drives in old computers now
<ZrX-oMs>
SSD ofcourse.
<andlabs>
back to finding SATA to IDE converters then
<ZrX-oMs>
Friend works as a suitable industrial service so I have some pulled IDE SSDs to use in retro projects.
<ZrX-oMs>
-as+at
<andlabs>
sigh startek
<andlabs>
why do you call it "ide2sata" when it does the opposite

Files /Users/pietro/Downloads/unsorted.7z and /Users/pietro/Desktop/vminstfiles/TODO_Downloads/segadoeswhatnintendontlololol/unsorted.7z are identical
<andlabs>
so both the anonfiles and archive.org files are the same
<Foone>
I made this mistake of downloading it with chrome and it then blocked it when it finished because it was "dangerous"
<ZirconiumX>
Ouch
<cr1901_modern>
andlabs: Supposedly they were compressed differently, but the contents are identical
<andlabs>
this proves they are not compressed differently
<superctr>
interesting
<superctr>
it seems like the original Oman archive is also included in the Pokemon dump where this BroadOn leak originated
