Yop All ! Didn't want to post the first message in an empty forum a few days back. Glad to see y'all here. Even if I don't post often (at all?) I love to read your tech/non-tech/nonsense/offtopic discussions :)
BTW, tukuyomi here, but I changed my nickname to reflect to my MySocialLifeInTheInternetz™


(I'll stop posting here because I REALLY want to already derail this topic :D)

tomman : you seem very much knowledgeable regarding Seamonkey situation, can you share your view on this IRC slice'o'discussion ?

(Feb 6)
eh [Mozilla IRC Network (+mozilla:matrix.org)]
16:57 What does the blog mean by 2.49.5 will have new and unproven infrastructure? I thought the webextension release wasn't until 2.57?

Mc (IRC) [Mozilla IRC Network (+mozilla:matrix.org)]
16:59 that's just the building infrastructure

frg_away (IRC) [Mozilla IRC Network (+mozilla:matrix.org)]
16:59 eh The infrastructure for building SeaMonkey. Mozilla decommissioned the old build servers and supporting infrastructure.

eh [Mozilla IRC Network (+mozilla:matrix.org)]
16:59 So seamonkey is now entirely independent from mozilla?

frg_away (IRC) [Mozilla IRC Network (+mozilla:matrix.org)]
17:09 eh More or less yes and soon yes without more or less. Not sure if we still have access to bugzilla and some other things then.

(Me, once known as tukuyomi)

Screwtape, you really did a great job with your bsnes history kit. I'm really happy that my archives helped you with this project :)
I do not know how much I can help you, but I'll try to follow this thread more carefully now.
The sole information I can provide now is that I stopped archiving higan stuff few weeks -maybe months- after you started your higan unofficial repository, so there's probably nothing lost in-between ;)
I decided to stop archiving byuu's work -and snesemu too- because your repo is much cleaner than my pile of files randomly saved in some folder.

Byuu, I don't want to sound as a visionary, but I know that time would come someday --the archivist's work archived, that is.
I was there the very first day of bsnes. And, even if I missed (and still miss) the technical background, I followed the bsnes development with enthusiastic interest.
Alas, the thing I mostly regret now is that when I started archiving bsnes, it was already too late, some files were already fourofoured.
On the other hand, the thing I'm proud of is the bsnes changelog, which is for the most part are quotes from your posts on the zsnes and your boards
(and I shamely tell you now that every time I was adding stuff in it, I was a bit afraid that one day you could scold me to stop transcribe everything you said on a txt file :p )
Even if few things are missing, I think it's a good piece of snes emulation scene history.

Anyway, I'm really happy now that my contribution now serves as part of this great project, bsnes history.

Today I tried uploading the contents as individual files, but it turns out some of the archives in the collection are corrupt and so IA won't let me upload them.


Wow.. Can you tell me which files are corrupt ? Can you provide MD5/SHA* checksums as well?

FTR, this has happened before, can't remember when, nor the version (the only thing I remember for sure is that was bsnes<???>r05.rar) though.
One file were corrupt. After moultes hesitations and multiple-checks that I did not own a sane copy of said file, I resolved myself to delete it.
But then after that, I batch-opened every archives to make sure everything else was safe.

According to my notes, bsnes_v055.zip and bsnes_v073.tar.bz2 are corrupt.

I just tested these two files, I was able to unzip/untar them fine. You can grab a copy from here :

Also, here is a checksum of the files :

The file that actually caused me grief was ssnes.zip, which (now that I look more closely) I *think* is a redundant copy of the files in the "ssnes" directory beside it?
Yes it is, I remember having zipped every folder to make easier to download instead of downloading every file one after another. I's the same for bsnes, snes9x and the others.

OOOOOoooooh... that reminds me of roms_checker, a shell script I wrote a while back :) -- not very much human-readeable but heh :p

If you feel a bit nostalgic, grab your copy at the link below.
The 2.50r5.sh should do the trick.
Don't bother getting the 3.0 version, the SET variable is ...well... set nowhere in the script, surely leading to some bugs I guess...

BTW, Screwtape, you're credited on the release notes for 2.50. :D
According to the changelog, it was for some bit of code you gave me to skip the 512b of iNES headers on the NES Roms :)

How nostalgic :)

I've updated my Seamonkey to the 2.53 (from Bill's repository, at wg9s.com)

Something I awaited for quite some time now, but could not upgrade because Mail had a bug, displaying nothing but a blank page.

Sticking to 2.49.4 started to become cumbersome as there were more and more site displaying warning banners (Github on the top of my head), visual glitches everywhere (riot.im, yeah I know that electron thingie) or could not play music/videos at all (mixcloud.com, ...)

... Now I wish Chatzila allowed me to connect to my quasselcore

Coincidentally, a mail was posted today on Dng that gives a few flags to pass to your kernel command line to disable those patches :

Almost the same as tomman's post above.
