Zipplet's Stuff

I have some great news. zipNES has been revived!



I am rewriting it for high accuracy right now using new knowledge I have of how the NES works. Once I'm done accuracy should be among the best of all NES emulators.

That's too long to wait for you say? What about the old version that worked even though it wasn't perfect?
You can download it here!

Make sure you check the zipNES project page for updates, and my blog.

FTDIclass is an FTDI class library for delphi - providing easy access to the FTDI chip D2XX driver. Easy to use classes are provided to create applications rapidly, and there is even built-in support for asynchronous events (D2XX does not implement them but FTDIclass does). All control signals and FTDI features will be supported eventually.

Currently windows only and only tested with the FT232R (USB to serial) as this is an early project.

The currently included example works with the UM232R evaluation module and even demonstrates basic asynchronous comms!

See the project page on google code.

As some of you have noticed the site has been down for a few days recently. There is an issue with the server and everything possible is being done to correct it. Most likely there will be more outages so patience.

(hides something he wants to put on this site)

As the title says - Dataforce ( http://home.dataforce.org.uk/ ) deserves a huge thank you for hosting my website for the past few years, and for paying for my domain when I was unable to do so before I had a job.

A big thank you to Dataforce who continues to host this site even today with much better uptime + service than I could have ever expected. His server will also be running the ZSIC system when it goes live (which wont be until the PPC project progresses a lot more). Without his support this would be impossible as I would be unable to run a system like this with a normal webhost. Now to make something good of it and push on with PPC!

Cheers!

His AuthGate system deserves another mention as it now supports OpenID. As Zipplet's Stuff supports AuthGate authentication, you can now login to Zipplet's Stuff using OpenID! This is mostly pointless now as there is nothing to do once you login but it will be useful later on.

Since people have asked me and XP is nearing end-of-life, and more and more people now have vista machines I need to explain my stance on Windows Vista with regard to my software.

I do not own a machine that runs Windows Vista myself. While I know other people that do, it is not possible for me to debug my applications on a machine belonging to someone else as my entire dev suite would need to be installed on said machine. I own quite a few machines that run variants of windows from 2000 to XP (and I can use windows 98 legally in vmware if needs be) and that's all apart from Linux.

Nothing I have written has been tested or debugged on Windows Vista and this will remain the case for quite a while. I cannot afford a license for Vista at such a rediculous ripoff price. I'm sorry but I am not rich, and I do not make any money from my website or my software.

You are welcome to try my software on Vista, the worst that will happen is it wont work properly - it wont destroy your machine.

I will not deal with any emails asking me to fix something to make it work in Vista. I do not care that Vista is the current OS that most people on brand new machines are now using - I don't have a copy so I cannot support it.

If this means my software does not work for you, then I apologise. You will be able to find some software written by somebody else that does work for you I am sure.

In theory, most of my software will work well or perfectly as I stick to the specification for the windows API and such but there will always be problems especially with LightX which is quite a complicated library.
