    Recovering Palettes
    it was easier than I expected, most palettes preclude the graphics using them inside the archive.
    That was due to how STRONG.DAT was generated.

    Audio formats are also really easy, music is XMI, which is well documented, while audio was raw unsigned 8bit PCM at 11025Hz, which was originally in ADPCM encoded VOC files. During the grab process, the game used MIDPAK to decompress these ADPCMs for some reason. Maybe HDD access was faster than the 386 ADPCM decoder? Why 11025Hz? Apparently audio designers measure quality in fractions of CD audio, which is 44100. In any case I need to re-encoded them back into VOC, so grab process could be done once again.

    What is the point of IPhone?
    IPhone camera is worse than in Xiaomi/Leica.
    IPhone goes a distance to prevent transferring pirated mp3s.
    IPhone doesn't allow me to run the C/C++ code I compile.
    IPhone's tethering/wifi-access-point is constantly auto-closing, with my multy-gigabyte downloads being lost.
    IPhone's repair is made impossible to force people buying a new product and pollute the environment.
    IPhone doesn't allow me to post erotic photos or see Telegram channels with erotic photos or even Pornhub.
    IPhone cooperates with Roskomnadzor and all other censoring agencies, removing VPN apps from AppStore ( https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/07/04/russia-forces-apple-to-remove-vpns-from-app-store-a85608 )

    There is only two reasons I don't side with Russia against America:
    1. Russia hates trans girls and completely banned medical transitioning.
    2. Russian language is inferior.

    Otherwise Americans are doing their worst



    Current Mood: annoyed
