I should show that to my coworker, who would love to be writing Python instead of C++ and Java.

This is a cute video about mucking around with RAM while playing Zelda on the NES. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FolqIgQRtl0

The ultimate goal is to give the player the Triforce of Power instead of the Wooden Sword at the beginning of the game, thereby enabling a swordless win.
02:30
<&McMartin>
... is the sword otherwise mandatory, or can you get away with bows and bombs?
02:47
< [R]>
You need the sword to get the others normally.
02:47
<&McMartin>
Mmm, right, no Secrets To Everybody that don't require bombs or the candle
02:47
<&McMartin>
... unless you can get the candle without fighting
02:48
< [R]>
For that specific game though, if you started with the bow/bombs I'm not sure if you need the sword, would have to check to see if any enemies are damaged only by the swords. Ganon might be.

McM: you can get all the way to ganon without the sword
03:31
<~Vornicus>
Typically you do this by getting the *wand*, because the wand does as much damage as the white sword in melee
03:53
<&McMartin>
OK, so I guess if you have the ToP then Ganon doesn't Spawn?

Hey stupid question. Does a windows 7 installation cd have both 32 and 64 bit versions, that you choose as an option? Or are they separate disks?
16:25
< [R]>
Windows Vista and 8 both had them seperate IIRC
16:27
< abudhabi>
Separate.
16:27
<@Thalass>
ah dang.
16:28
<@Thalass>
My sister in law's computer came with win8, which she disliked, so they tried win7. But the drivers didn't work, so ubuntu went on it. But she got frustrated with that so win7 went on it again.
16:29
<@Thalass>
Now they want me to fix it, but my fix is to put ubuntu back on it.
16:29
<@Thalass>
Turns out the win7 disk they have is 32 bit, and Dell don't do 32 bit drivers.
17:39
<&McMartin>
Get a Win7x64 disk, seriously
17:39
<&McMartin>
Win7-32 is garbage
17:41
<@Tamber>
Same key should work on both, I think.
17:46
<~Vornicus>
Apparently you can now download the win7 iso from ms

<Vornicus> Apparently you can now download the win7 iso from ms <-- they cancelled that service.

Yeah it seems that the page that asks to validate your key comes up with any excuse as to why it can't provide you with the iso
21:49
<@thalass>
In the end I just installed ubuntu on it and told him I'd teach him how to use it.
21:49
<@thalass>
or her. Whoever ends up using it hah
21:50
< [R]>
First I had even heard of the service was news about it being terminated
21:50
<@thalass>
haha
21:50
<@thalass>
Not surprising really
21:52 * [R] wonders how that MS sponsored package manager is doing.
22:04
<@thalass>
...for linux? Or the one for win8?
22:13
<&McMartin>
NuGet?

NuGet, the package manager with the soft and chewy centre?
22:54

I think a joke like that only shows up four or five thousand times on their homepage
