my favorite thing is hacking a game and then going and looking on the company's mobygames page to see what else they did around the same time and then grepping that ROM to see if it is the same engine... and it is.

@foone this has all of a sudden become relevant to me because ive been wanting to decompile that last one (or at least extract the audio data) for a while now

Bad idea: since there's a mechanical limit to how much you can cool down a CPU, design a motherboard with a rotary barrel.

While one CPU is used, the other five can be cooling down!

With all the different microcontroller platforms out there, it's sometimes annoying because there's a solution that does exactly what you want but it's targeting some weird architecture that isn't what you use, or has suddenly become hard to find.

I think it's about time we organize all our open source microcontroller-based firmware around a simple, widely available, and powerful architecture, for consistency and interoperability.

The Intel 80486.
