Hello all, I've been wondering how to get a fast random generator for numbers between 0 and 4 included (and eventually 0 and X), based on a generator which is...
Arnauld, If you have some RAM to spare, you can get pretty cheap random numbers with a lagged Fibonacci random number generator. These are fairly cheap and...
This C code, modeled after the assembly code, seems to show that the quality of numbers is high... #include <stdio.h> #include <stdint.h> uint16_t s[3]; ...
There does seem to be a ~0.7% bias toward '4' in the below algorithm. That's about 1 part in 140. Another round of "shift and if" would get this down to be...
... There are probably implementation details that would prevent this from working, but in any case where there is some bias to the odds, could you treat the...
Russ, That would rotate the bias around. It adds a second order bias, though. For example, if you see a "4" this time, then there's a slight chance "0" is...
Thanks, Joe and Russ, for your inputs on that one. @Joe: I like the simple idea of a 16-bit output divided into 5 ranges and that's probably what I'm going to...
John, In my games, so far I tend to use a linear feedback shift register. They're pretty simple to implement and require little RAM for seed storage. In...
... I'm happy to hear this. I feel that in recent years there's been an over-saturation of classic games emulated for modern consoles, self-contained units,...
I think betrayal is a bit of a strong word. It does seem strange, unless Nintendo has planned (but not announced) Gameboy and other emulation projects. To be...
I don't see why Intellivision on the DSi is a bad thing, especially if it's got the original games, not the remakes that are on the Direct-to-TV version. The...
I was actually considering learning iphone programming and investigating porting jzintv over. I'd love it if Keith's app was a true emulator that let us load...
Any chance of getting a jzintv port to the Pandora? http://www.openpandora.org http://openpandora.wordpress.com/ Christopher. ________________________________ ...
Christopher, Rick Reynold's port to the GP2X proves that it should work pretty straightforwardly. The Pandora's processor is much more powerful than what's in...
I just dug around the Pandora site a bit, and it looks like SDL is there for Pandora. So, porting jzIntv to Pandora will be a snap. It might even build...
Hi, Anyone interested....? If it has a large keyboard that it plugs into, I claim that part :) She is not on this list, so just reply if you want it and I'll...
I'm on the list to get a Pandora, so I'd be excited to. In fact, the main reason I chose to get a pandora over a wiz was that the keyboard would let me play...
Just a bit of news on this... I did have someone step forward offering to port jzIntv to the Pandora for me. I hear that it compiled out-of-the-box with no...
I asked this question years ago, but with all of the developments lately, I'd thought I'd ask again: Is there a way to extract all of the sounds and/or voices...
check http://www.intellivisionworld.com/English/News/2006_08.asp and http://www.beeslife.com/library/library.php valter ... From: "DZ-Jay" <dz@...> To:...
Cool, but what about the sounds themselves? Could they be "played" somehow without playing the actual games? I could record the output and save it as wave if...
Dan, Sorry I'm late to the party. I've been doing the 80hr work week thing the last few weeks. There's no mechanism I know of for generating all the video...
