Real quick, I had an issue where the latest 8bitdo updater wasn’t detecting the controller. I fixed it by running the 8bitdo updater as Administrator (right click on the application, then select ‘Run as Administrator’). I ran this before I plugged in the controller. Afterwards, I plugged in the controller, without the battery, and while holding down L1 + R1. That took me to the controller selection menu right away.
Hope that helps someone.
Lon.tv, of YouTube fame, created a petition to prevent stations from adding DRM to their new ATSC 3.0 broadcast channels.
You probably already know this already, but ATSC 3.0 is the new broadcasting standard that allows for more channels, 4K resolution, surround sound, interactivity features, and much better reception (also a bunch of additional features that probably won’t be used ever). Along with these features is DRM – a way to restrict what can be done...
Surprise! tgorg.com is back up after a year or so of downtime. Quite a few changes have been made under the hood during that time. We’re now running under Wordpress (which I hope is easier to maintain than Drupal for these kinds of things), and the theme has also been completely changed. You’ll notice that things work well on a mobile phone now too. Cool!
Most of the posts and projects pages from previous versions of the siteareintact, although the urls may...
Yeah, I know I haven’t posted anything on tgorg.com, in, like, one and a half years. Unfortunately, I’ve been a bit busy, to say the least. But anyways, I’ve just found and purchased The Journeyman Project Turbo 2 : Buried in Time, a sequel to The Journeyman Project, a game that I’ve played when I was a kid back in the day. Much to my surprise, when I opened the box, I found both Buried in Time and the original game! Awesome.
One of the memories I have of ...
Making a duplicator for your church, home, or studio is really easy, and can save you money versus ordering a brand name duplicator. I had the opportunity to build one for my church, so I figure it’d be helpful to pass along a few tips on how to get one built.
Note that although you’ll save money versus duplicators in catalogs, there are several places (including eBay) that sell pre-assembled duplicators using the parts that you would typically buy to assemble...
One of my projects involved validating only the query part of the url using regular expressions (i.e. everything after the ?). It took me ages to figure out a proper regex, so I thought it might help someone here by posting it:
^(?:[a-zA-Z%0-9+]+=[a-zA-Z%0-9+]+(?!=)&)*[a-zA-Z%0-9+]+=[a-zA-Z%0-9+]+(?!.)Note: this only works for validating the query string, so adding the actual url will prevent a match, making the string to search invalid.
So, yeah it’s been like five or six months since I’ve posted last. There was a lot of stress getting a bunch of stuff done, and, now that some of it’s done, I’ll probably be a little more active here. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
OhNotes officially has it’s own domain names! Both ohnotes.com and ohnotes.net will point to the simple note-keeping service I made a while ago. Along with that, most of the bugs are ironed out, so feel free to give it a try. Future...
For those of you who don’t know, Microsoft has been pretty busy lately making a few videos with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. It’s kinda funny, you may want to look at them (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/).
There’s an interesting thing to note here. First, this isn’t Microsoft’s first foray with funny videos. They’ve been doing it for several of their events; the most recent of which was a video about Bill Gates trying different “vocations” to determine...
This short how-to will allow you to call command line apps in the background (i.e. doesn’t “pop-up” in front of your app) within your The Games Factory (original version 1.06) game or app
I know, The Games Factory is a really old app, but it’s still an inexpensive easy way to make programs and, of course, games.
I recently wanted to create an program that will run a few commands from the command line in the background without the user knowing it. Unfortunately...
Cuil.com, just released to the public two days ago, is a new search engine that’s out to take on the giants that are Google, MSN, and Yahoo with a giant of it’s own; it’s super huge index database. But does it work?
To test this, I picked a subject that not many people know about; the TeleFirst (or Tele1st) system. The TeleFirst system was a old broadcast service that was created by ABC that would deliver movies and shows through an encrypted/scrambled channel...
Hello everyone. There’s been some outages ever since Friday, due to the fact that I’ve been upgrading the site to the most current version of Drupal that supports the same modules. We should be good now…
From now on, I’ll be (hopefully) doing more blog posts on both technology and the web that are more engaging and interesting than the usual “tgorg updates” I’ve been doing every once in awhile. Hope you like it!
Acer just recently announced that they will be putting Linux in more of it’s boxes (the complete article here: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2218172/acer-pushes-linux-hard). The report mentions that Acer will be using it’s own distro, which got...
Hello everyone. Now that I’ll be out of college in a week, I’ll be able to spend a little more time on here. There’s a couple of side projects that I want to work on, as well as a few things that I haven’t posted yet… I’ll get into what those side projects are later, since they’re not done yet, and I’ve been prone to let the cat out of the bag before anything reasonable comes up.
In other news, some friends of mine are working on a student film entitled “Carriefield...
I just stumbled upon the following statement in the “NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams” website;
Also, make sure to check out GameTap to play an emulated version of the original NiGHTS Into Dreams on your computer.
You can check it out for yourselves here: http://www.sega.com/gamesite/nights/. Go to Story > Behind the Story to look at the text! This is going to be awesome…
I am a big fan of classic games, so it’s pretty exciting seeing NiGHTS coming to GameTap. ...
Wanted an cheaper alternative to filtering programs such as CyberPatrol and NetNanny using open source software? This is a step by step how-to on setting up a content filtering server on the cheap, in a wireless network that will allow a Nintendo DS to connect without any issues.
