AngeTheGreat's Engine Simulator: Procedurally Generating Audio Using a Real-time Fluid Simulation (Technical Breakdown)
Comment · 5 years ago
My personal issue with the LLVM re-licensing and its exception clause is that it made no effort to deal with a few projects which had used the LLVM core in an LGPLV2.1 context, only those projects in a GPLV2 context.

This screwed over a few projects which are unable to re-license to an apache2-compatible license. Offhand, I believe it affected the LGPLV2.1 licensed Wine/Codeweavers win32 emulation layer for running windows 32-bit programs on a 64-bit-only mac, and affected several other programs as well.

I second this.

It should be possible to run the results of Unix speak.c through a real (or emulated) Votrax Type 'n Talk unit. I know MAME has emulation of said unit, and while it isn't perfect, its pretty understandable.

I took a shot at making a modernized port of speak.c myself not long after the code was found, but it didn't get very far, sadly. I couldn't figure out an easy way of dealing with the multiple-character character constants.

I've got access to an 8" drive as well as plenty of 5.25" drives, and the hardware to do flux images. There are others with access to similar hardware. As kjs3 suggested, contacting people via the classiccmp and vcfed lists is a good idea.

The calendar view on archive.org shows the page was archived 6 times while active, but all of those copies seem to have been manually deleted from archive.org (or perhaps hidden/blacked out?), or something else weird is going on.

Yes: The Gameboy Player for the Gamecube has a GBA processor and some glue logic inside it. There is at least one Nintendo DS cartridge which has a bluetooth chip inside it: Pokémon: Typing Adventure/ And several Gameboy Advance cartridges in the Boktai series have a 'sun sensor' in them. I'm sure there are other examples as well.
