Microplastics found in our male nut sacks...
Could be the main reason sperm count is down in the majority of males and affecting the overall birth rate as well.

Of course I'll let @Asmusr speak some more on it if he needs to, but back in the 2018 area, he started programming JS99er in Angular, so here is the uptodate thread https://github.com/Rasmus-M/js99er-angular
FYI.
ok, thanks i will take a look at that version later on this week, and see how to set it up for my development needs. i didn't know there was a new typescript design, makes sense now, as there no mention of it in the first post on this thread. so much catching up to do, what happens when you miss a few years reading daily here on this forum!

I was wondering @Asmusr are you going to update your Github repo at some point: https://github.com/Rasmus-M/Js99er as that version is 6.3.2 (23 July 2018)
And I am looking at setting little different version for my O.P.A. development work, and it would be nice to able to do so with your latest version.
As I test I installed the github version on my domain https://ti99ers.com and it is running ok, but of course missing all the cool and amazing new features you have added over the years.
Please when you have chance let me know, and if need be we can discuss this via private message, you done amazing work with this javascript emulator.
Thanks.

Many thanks for finding the post, i have attached the STL file to this thread for future reference, a number of us spent time during the Saturday Zoom meeting searching with no luck.
I need to find a local 3D Print shop to make a few of these for my systems, as I think that how my corcomp rs232 card blew as it has no case, i have a heavy 25pin to 9pin adapter on the back of it.
i am worried my whtech scsi card might do the same some day, or my dijit avpc card as they all can move and have cables hanging off the back of them.

I am envious, jealous even, of your cartridges trays.
Mee too... Nice clean setup... My ti99 systems are jammed up together too much, the problem is these days no one sells computer desks deep anymore since everything is flat screen, no room for proper setup with the CRT monitor.

Until a valid hypothesis is presented, there is nothing to test or confirm. And since we are talking about undocumented functionality anyway, the only real way to know is to decap a 9958 and reverse engineer it enough to see what bit >02 of R8 actually does.
I follow a number of Japanese MSX accounts on twitter and one of them recently decapped the v9938 and v9958 and also has obtained high quality die photos and recently been tracing out the v9958 registers and posted this today in regard to the video about this bit.

Adding the bypass or decoupling caps is needed this helps prevents issues like you are seeing. Just add a ceramic 100nf cap across the power lines of each chip.

🇺🇸 $5 OZEMPIC ALTERNATIVE TAKES GEN Z BY STORM
A surprising alternative to Ozempic, costing only $5, has emerged at local gas stations, gaining popularity among Gen Z as a budget-friendly weight loss solution.
Zyn nicotine pouches, used as an appetite suppressant, are being hailed as a "poor man's semiglutide shot," with users reporting significant weight loss. Similar to what Ozympic is touted to do.
Nik Bando, a popular Instagram influencer, shared his experience of dropping 30 pounds by substituting meals with Zyn, referring to it as "O-Zyn-pic."
This trend has sparked a wave of content creators advocating for the weight loss benefits of nicotine pouches despite warnings from health experts about potential risks.
Dr. Carolyn Bramante from the University of Minnesota cautions against this practice, highlighting that safer, FDA-approved weight management options are available. Concerns include gum damage and the broader health implications of nicotine consumption.
Despite this, the trend continues, with Zyn appealing to young consumers through its affordability.

Just my luck, as I was watching my tv show, the actors were trying to figure out how the victim was murdered and it turned out to be from his bubble tea he was drinking, one of the tapioca pearls was replaced with a metal bead and then the killer used a super powerful magnet to rapidly pull it out of his victim from outside the building, basically killing him like a gunshot but in reverse without leaving any evidence behind.
Almost choked to death on my own bubble tea as I was slipping it when the actors announced their amazing discovery on the screen.
Just what I get for watching CSI: Vegas while drinking my tea. 🤣

$11 "dasher" tip.
Most of it was tip and taxes.
The crazy part is McDonald's charges you still $5.39 for the now empty box with wrapper and bag.
But with the amount of views he got from his one post on twitter, he will earn like a few hundred dollars from it.
He should be fair divide up his twitter winfall earnings with the McDonald's workers and dasher thst went to all that trouble to just prepare and then deliver the empty box.

Hi Gary,
I spent sometime looking at your TIM Board, I made a rough copy, lots of unknowns though. I could make it functional if I had a enough time. When you first posted this I was excited as I was looking at making a plugin board using the V9958, so what I did was took my schematic and designed it around your board. I have put a few X pins where I do not know where they go or what they do. If you want me to reproduce your board I would be very happy for any help with the schematics. Regards Arto.
many thanks. yes, we could work together on making a proper reproduction of the design. do you have actual tim itself to look at, or just photos. -- let's discuss this in more detail by DM, send me the files you made so far, and the software you are using and i will take a look over it early next week.
i want to get back into making some pcboards myself, but the last cad software i used was orcad and hiwire plus, so i got to catch up, and you been doing some amazing designs so far in your thread.
thanks.

the telsa does offer manual door release, but its hard to get to you need to remove i think the speaker grille on the door itself.
this has happened before with someone drowning in the telsa after backing into a lake, and not being able to open the door due to power failure.
no one reads the manual with their telsa that tells you where the manual release is.
i had similar issues with my bmw, with a bad battery, not being able to get out of my car, as the system will not unlock the doors, lucky i had the manual with me in the glove box, and read about the manual unlock door release.

I think the extra loop test on the limit is to make sure the loop ends, if for some reason inside the loop the code that bring executed is messing around with the limit variable itself by changing it like to skip a loop or something based on a certain action taken inside the loop.

This code taken from my Canadian Mortgage Loan Calculator program on my GitHub repo.
Something similar should work for in assembly to call the GPL routine.
You just got to be able to return to XB correctly as normally it's not recommended to call GPL routines when coming from a xb call link.
I will see if I can find some old code and paste it here that works for passing numbers between xb and assembly.
