Re: James has been busy!

Hmm. I didn't know that there were this many users (both of you!). I was actually considering making this a web service and having a fat client application that you could download locally. The reason would be that once you make updates to the memory map, it could be re-published to the site (with comments!). Sort of like a Wiki for 9010A code. There wouldn't absolutely need to be a fat client, but my thought was to integrate this directly into FIDE. I've just been too busy lately to do much with improving FIDE. I started on a .NET version (versus the crappy VB6 implementation) and go distracted with life and such... Interest? It could start off rather small, like the ability to annotate what is already there. The fancy stuff could come later.

I've been using this for quite some time since it was put up and I have to say that while it isn't perfect (what ever is!?), it is a MASSIVE help and I would truly be lost without it. I also keep meaning to ask if there's any way you could package it up in a sellable format somehow? The idea of one day it not being there because you don't have the site anymore for any reason nearly always goes through my mind whenever I use it. I realise that's it's almost certainly a DB/Script type of application, but that's not an issue to me. Of course I could go through and generate scripts from all the drivers, but 1) that's impractical 2) defeats the object of having a dynamic script building engine that allows you to edit the regions under test and 3) is the main reason spies disappeared!! Ever thought of somehow being able to package up a locally installable version? No idea if this is solely hobby, or any portion of it being income for you mind! Martin.

Just was directed on the Rasterlist to quarterarcades' tech section. Haven't looked there in a while. James has created a great tool that allows you to input a video game name and it generates a memory map, and both the Checksum AND the Fluke Signature! Way to go James! A great assist to folks that use the Fluke (etc.) in fixing their games! http://www.ggdb.com/tech/Default.aspx John :-#)# -- John's Jukes Ltd. 2343 Main St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V5T 3C9 Call (604)872-5757 or Fax 872-2010 (Pinballs, Jukes, VideoGames) www.flippers.com "Old pinballers never die, they just flip out" _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist_at_flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist_at_flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
