IntroductionIn the Sega Nu systems, system boot and application start is gated by the mysterious “keychip”. A lot of systems sold online do not include the keychip since they are property of Sega and needed to be returned once the operator terminate contract with Sega. I was lucky enough to find two keychip being auctioned and I want to document my reverse engineering efforts. Hopefull later people are able to use this information to reconstruct keychip for the game they want to launch and...

It’s been a while since I finished the CHIP-8 emulator, the CHIP-8 emulator was mostly capable of running PONG, but at the end I still haven’t figured out how to get input work correctly. This time I want to try to experiment with the Gameboy, it will be much harder to emulate given the increased number of instructions and a palette. DMG-01 Also known as the “original gameboy” Hardware Overview CPU: Custom 8-bit sharp at 4.19MHZ Resolution: 160*144 Framerate: 59.727hz Memory: 8KiB...

I start using linux and ditched my Macbook for about 3 years ago. Mainly because Apple kept making Mac OS more and more like a media consuming product and there aren’t any good laptops from them recently. So I moved to linux, the switch to full linux workflow is a bit different but not unfamilar for me. I was able to use most of the software I wanna use for my personal work and entertainment. So I first tried the distro I am most familar with: Homepage: https://ubuntu.com/ Later I had some...

Its been a while since I considered the idea of reducing my online footprints. I still remember I started using Google’s service in 2006. At that time, Gmail is not open to registration yet, I remember I had to ask for someone online for an invite. It was a great time to have a @gmail.com account for a 14 year old. Now 14 years has passed, I use so much Google. My email, photo, home automation, videos. I really love the modern internet where everything is seemlessly integrated. Recently I...

Previously I have written a simple library called genome using Javascript repo. The idea came to me when I wanted to build something like cryptokittie (crypto cat breeding and trading). I wanted a way to generate random values that can be used to generate random things, also the ability to merge these values. The project is really crude, it basically stores 4 markers and 1 influence as number. When merging two DNA together, there is random change that one gene might mutate. There are 5 type...

I don’t really review themes here, but sometimes you come across a really breautiful theme. I normally use the arc theme for my Linux Mint installation. Today I found out that Google is making its Chromebook to run native linux applications and some of the application will have the material theme. Chrome OS native app with material design Looks pretty nice isn’t it? To install just follow the instruction on the github repository Github For Arch users you can install it from the awesome...
