Regardless of whether or not AVI's need extra codec info, implying that they are a video format is wrong. And please dont talk about ripping specific DVD's on these boards (dont name them!). It is a format , that term is perfectly fine. However format is a very generic word, so most people use cont...

If I remember correctly the death of vera was the FONT. You're still aiming to high. Kernel should only provide a layer of abstraction between the hardware and the software. Hell it shouldn't even have a graphical user interface since that would change radically down the line. If you're really serio...

No, Homestar is right. AVI is a very HACKED container, So codecs need to add a lot of crap to it to get stuff right. Matroska or Ogm might save on size, but only a small bit. If you are only talking about KB, clipping the last few frames out would do it. If it's only a couple MB, you could re-compre...

QueryPerformanceCounter is a bad idea. It varies wildly between computers. Intuition says it should be the cpu clock, but that does not seem to be the case in all instances. Trust me, we tried it in wabbitemu, and it caused more grief. Hm, curious. Did the problems persist if you forced the thread ...

Sorry I haven't been around as much, Thats not really a bug as much as it is simply not supporting the hardware your running on. Since its a usb interrupt, you need to disable usb hardware. I happen to know the port that controls usb interrupts but I don't suggest using it since it may be subject to...

Ah yes, just as I tought Yay found another bug: download the game to your calc and pull the cable while you are playing, the game will hang but the grayscale will stay. Now that bug sounds familiar! Hey Jim e, there's work for ya! I assume that for the grayscale you use a costum interrupt (IM 2), y...

Okay so why are you making appvars? Just use insertmem and delmem. Decide the maximum size of your routines(possible total of all of them). Check if that ram is availble with _EnoughMem. If so, _Insertmem at $9d95. From that point on mem at $9d95 is allocated to you and is safe to use. Before exitin...

AW? Troll on the interwebs that mixes opinions and facts. I hate pulling the wire to, or pushing the wire cause its so stiff. I use a white sheet of paper as my mouse pad for optical. Wood grain would cause jumping quite often. Also glossy surfaces can also screw up its position. While optical mice...

Yes

Thats only 1/6000th of a second. You need to press for about 1/2 a second and release and run for a bit longer.

Edit: You should probably give more boot up time than that to.

I'm not surprised. It takes about 60% of the cpu time. If you want linking you'll probably need to use the link assist. 83+ and the 83+SE Both have a receiving link assist with a 2 second timeout.

But honestly I don't suggest linking with grey. it will only slow things down more.
