Nocash loves assembler. No$GBA is written in assembler.

Was written in assembly back in the 90's when it was only running GB games. Since the addition of gba and nds, I doubt very much that the legacy assembly portions aren't inlined to the C/C++ portions with the newer updates being done in C/C++. This is speculation however since no$gba has always been closed source .

Sure, but assembly gets transated direclty while C (which is a pretty low level language) and higher level languages contain commands etc. that don't directly exist in hardware. There is no "loop" machine code - only jumps. As I said, it depends on the purpose of the code.


It depends on the purpose of the code. There are cases where a fast code is crucial and where it is crucial to know exactly how long a program takes. That's nearly impossible with higher level languages.


That depens on the perspecitve. Access modificators may lead to compiler errors although the code should work on a logical layer, you have more keywords etc. Assembly is named logical, too. Nocash would tell you that it's much easier to read assembly. It depends on what you're used to, how you got teached etc.

You're so full of shit and you're not even good at pretending to not be.

Any modern compiler will emit better assembly than you can write by hand because the tricks and optimization for performance are all built into the compiler. One person can know a few things sure, but the combined knowledge of many goes into gcc for example, resulting in better code than you would do yourself.

As I've already stated, unless you're writing firmware, drivers, bootloaders, or involved in RE projects, assembly isn't common nor necessary for most people. Nor will it magically make your applications run faster. Nor will it make you a superior developer. A superior developer uses the right tools for the job. They use tools that allow maintainable, readable, and if necessary, portable, code which assembly does not lend itself to. They care more about doing the job right than trying to seem smart on forums talking about things they clearly don't understand.

Stop wasting your energy -(he probably never coded in any language anyway)
Maybe ending this argument is best for all and everyone

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
