a miserable pile of secrets.
It's a huge pain in the ass tbh. It's so that you can run smol computers inside your regular computer, because developers have a hard time understanding how your computer works and want you to just use theirs.

If there’s one good thing I’ll say about Facebook, it’s that they know full well how blocking should work.
You block someone on Facebook, it’s like they cease to exist entirely. They’re gone. No trace of them left behind. Thanos-snapped out of existence.
More services need to make blocking exactly like that.
Wow... Winamp is open source now?

I mean, I'm using Jellyfin these days but I can't say I'm not at least curious about this development. Hopefully the chiptune situation on linux can get better as a result. #linux #audio #opensource

https://youtu.be/8jjT4AjTUMA - Okay, so. Click through to this video, and enable loop. Watch it go by. Listen to how just changing the _pitch_ of "The Microsoft Sound" in progression gives it a soothing but melancholic feel. I don't know why this audio with these paintings works so well for me. Calling it minimalist vaporwave doesn't really do it justice. Maybe vaporwave meets Phillip Glass? ...Glasswave. can I coin that?

ah, well, GAME, SOAKER and VIEWER ROM dumps for mega drive already existed here http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/demos/index.htm
those are most likely the same ROMs just formatted different
GAME does not have a SNES version, however SOAKER and VIEWER do. i don't understand much about the SNES ROM format but those aren't in the same format emulators expect either
so the mega drive ones aren't a mystery anymore, but the SNES ones still are
i've looked into the SNES archive. there are no sources. there are, however, compiled binaries.. in a weird format. and, also, for the mega drive.
looking at the mega drive ones, the header information seems to be there? but it's not in the right offsets it should be. which makes me wonder if this is somehow in a slightly compressed format, or a format for some esoteric devkit. i can't really get much else out of this and wish someone else would look at it
For the 40th Anniversary of "Elite", Ian Bell has released the source codes for the Apple, Atari, C64, and NES versions of the game for free.
He also released the source for the unfinished SNES and BBC ports. A very cool gift for such a pioneering space sim.
