Just missed out on picking up this crazy gamepad on eBay - if I hadn't had an early night I might've spotted it.

Will you just look at this thing!? It's not a gameport device, it plugs in through PS/2 or a DIN port (with what look like adapters from one to the other). It's got Alt, Control and Delete buttons. It's got an enter button. It's got a second D-pad in the middle for some reason. The most normal thing about it is the "P" button, and that's saying something.

A photo of the back of the box, espousing its many features, including 16 HYPER Programmable buttons, 4 user-defined macros, and a keyboard port interface.
A photo of the gamepad itself, with its manual and cable. The cable ends in a round PC keyboard plug instead of a 15-pin gameport plug.

I spent the afternoon tearing into the depression piles and finding shit I forgot I even ordered. I also started hitting the disorganized stacks of shit and putting them in labeled bins so I can put the stuff that belongs on a bookshelf on one. I can also walk in my room now which is an improvement.

I figured it might be an issue with using a newer compiler so I went back and compiled it with the compiler you're supposed to use.

@puppygirlhornypost @residualentropy I've actually been thinking about this for a while!
I wanted to make a floppy disk with an eink display, and the idea is that you have it in a fake floppy disk container, and it randomizes which games it says it has on it.
So it'll just randomly be "keen4.zip" or "corncob.zip"

@foone I have ripped a floppy disk that claims to be Macintosh® and I'm trying to figure out how to extract files off of it. There were no read errors when dumping it, and file says "PC formatted floppy with no filesystem" about the image, but nothing seems to be able to operate on it at all. binwalk spits out garbage, so that's not useful.

@vocelia computers weren't a mistake! They were invented by a gay guy who wanted to get rid of nazis. They worked great for that.
Everything since then has been a bit of a mistake, sure, but that's just because we're misusing computers.
