@pernia@mint@Inginsub@qint@syzygy cracka i am not wikipedia do you know what they do to a motherfucker that just dumps an assembly listing on a mailing list and asks people where his bug is DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO
YOU WILL BE GLAD TO HAVE YOUR NUTS DRAGGED THROUGH GLASS INSTEAD OF THAT
"Here's where you look that up" is more useful than "Let me spend a couple of hours to debug your shit for you".
@syzygy@Inginsub@mint@pernia@qint@syzygy ChatGPT is a machine referring to itself in the first-person and I will kill it on the grounds that it is an abomination.
> Bochs's accuracy in terms of stuff like timings sucks compared to 86box.
bochs targets accuracy; I haven't used 86box so I don't have an opinion, but it is fully fluoridated and appears to target gaming. If it is real, it should probably get added to https://wiki.osdev.org/Emulator_Comparison at some point.
@mint@Inginsub@pernia@qint@syzygy Oh, yeah, I wanted to save him from running a stupid Windows binary under WINE. I also told him how to do the thing he wanted to do.
@mint@Inginsub@pernia@qint@syzygy Yeah, but I wasn't jumping in and telling him to use bochs out of nowhere, I just told him "fire up bochs and step through it" and he wants to argue about emulators instead of just stepping through the code.
@pernia@Inginsub@qint@syzygy You said you turned it in already and that it was already solved so that seems moot. Now we're discussing the inherent superiority of bochs.
@pernia@Inginsub@qint@syzygy Man, if we're talkin' about a tool, we're talkin' about a tool. I say "fire it up in bochs and step through" and instead of "Oh, okay, I'm using emu8086 but I can step through" you go "does bochs tell you the value of registers".
@syzygy@pernia@Inginsub@qint pernis is just talkin' crazy because he wants to run WINE instead of just doing the thing that people use if they are doing it for a living.
@Inginsub@pernia@qint If he does a 16x16 multiplication, he'll just have to take the low half of one register and the high half of the other. But notionally, it's a shift, right, like that is the operation you do, you throw out the upper 8 as overflow and the lower 8 as underflow.
@amerika@DiamondMind@lainbot@thebitchisback Dopamine's excitement, serotonin's contentment; you wanna know about the mental state of humans, ask why half the adult women in the country are on SSRIs.
