Aujourd’hui j’ai tourné la dernière page de « Insignis » de Charlotte Letourneur.
Un bon polar pour un premier bouquin. L’action se situe à (ça c’est cool) et l’histoire est savamment distillée.
Perso j’ai beaucoup aimé. Une ou deux approximations de procédures policières mais sinon c’est un sans fautes. Les persos sont bien amenés, la trame reste mystérieuse un bon moment et un final en apothéose, parfait !
Si vous ne savez pas quoi mettre dans votre n’hésitez pas !

Ah ah !
«Une ou deux approximations de procédures policières». 😄 C'est exactement ce que m'a dit mon ancien voisin le commissaire en retraite quand il a lu mon bouquin.

@fredurb1 chaque fois que je lis « mandat » dans un livre dont l’action se passe en France je saigne des yeux j’avoue… Mais bon, dans l’imaginaire collectif ça doit passer souvent inaperçu et ça n’enlève rien au mérite de l’auteur loin de là. Surtout pour un premier bouquin.

So how many rasterlines are there exactly in a ??

Weird stuff happens when you poke video control registers after line 255

I think this is how they do the tricks 🤔

@gimulnautti I’m not aware of anything special going on after line 255. Certain VIC tricks require you to write specific registers at very specific cycles within a line, but otherwise the inner logic repeats in a deterministic way for every line, with certain functions getting disabled in the upper and lower border (even if you open them).

@cobbpg Thanks for replying.

I’m experiencing some problems with VIC retrieving character memory incorrectly if my raster interrupt lasts too long.

However, it does happen on the main program right after the interrupt terminates, and then rights itself at the next time it fires.

Puzzled. Even my demo gods couldn’t help me so far. Any help appreciated!

Congratulations @altstore! Becoming the first official 3rd party app store for iOS is a mighty achivement and doing it open source from the begining is incredible.

Lovely announcement on @rileytestut's blog about the whole thing which I recomend everyone read:

BORACAY Island, Cebu, Siargao, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taipei were the most popular destinations last for most of the country’s major carriers. They’ve had to increase flight frequencies on some routes due to the strong passenger demand.

Très grande victoire sur moi-même, aujourd’hui, lors d'une visite à la librairie-papeterie Rousseau, à Pontarlier.

Alors que j'étais prêt à ajouter un autre ouvrage, le dernier essai de l'excellente @cmoreldarleux, à ma Pile à Lire de 2 mètres de haut (littéralement, hein, c'est pas une image), j'ai réussi à me faire violence et à le reposer pour l'instant.

D'ailleurs, chère @cmoreldarleux , "Là où le feu et l'Ours" fait partie de cette Pile à Lire qui est mon adorée et aussi la Nemesis de ma bonne conscience de lecteur passionné mais parfois flemmard...

Anyone know of an app or driver or tool that can make my Windows PC display look/feel like a CRT television with 480i resolution, scanlines, etc?

I'd love a general solution that I can use for playing old games AND watching old shows. The blurriness used to be a feature.

@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@patrickmcurry There's shaders you can use to emulate trinitron in libretro but you need 1440p minimum, 4k+ ideal for it to look correct. You won't find anything system-wide that looks correct, as just 'drawing scanlines" and making it blurry you'll lose most of the extra detail you get on crt screens. It sounds odd but you need a very good screen and quite a bit of gpu power to properly emulate a CRT with correct looking graphics and not just get a blurry mess.

I received a bunch of 5.25 floppies, some of them have software clearly for very early PAL and DSPs. I don't have a way to archive this, anyone interested, possibly in south UK Berks/Bucks ideally. https://imgur.com/gallery/XK1qA5C

My possession & acquisition licence () has been processing for over 6 months. The team processing my application needed to ask me additional questions as I had mentioned having had mild on my application. As a who has lost mates to , I appreciate the diligence of the firearms officers. Waiting an extra few months for my PAL is a small price to pay to help ensure my mates are safe.

Any recommendations for ?

@greg My info is out of date, but my brother was a championship .22 shooter, competed internationally with the Air Cadets.

He swore by an Anschütz rifle. He let me shoot the cheaper stuff 😀
