I made a mod for @crittercove.bsky.social for loading custom skins. The loading part is easy; next step is to figure out how to export the model and texture from the current body parts selection so people can have a reference to work from.

Apparently Visual Studio has used up my monthly GitHub Copilot quota already and I have literally no idea what it used them for. I didn't make any prompts at all inside VS. Maybe I should just turn the whole thing off again because clearly I don't understand the benefit.

A look at SNC7300 bootrom's UART console. It's... a thing. There's a few pieces to it. You can access ISP features if there is no valid firmware, or if you interrupt boot. By default, the baud rate is 115200, but you can also use auto-baud (I haven't calculated the range).

Continued looking through SNC7330's bootrom, and here's a perplexing piece of code that I reconstructed. It's supposed to return the block (or page?) to read the load table from (basically a bad block table), but I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually work.

Looking through SNC7330's bootrom again. Apparently it's using double precision floating point numbers to calculate the settings for UART speed. WTF? Not to mention that they hardcoded the desired rate and system clock speed, so they could have just precalculated and saved a bunch of cycles.

These were a journey of discovery, but I got there in the end. Lots of experimentation this time. :> @ladydarksphynx.bsky.social @snowmiaux.bsky.social @ucbronzewing.bsky.social @greenwoodje.bsky.social @thorsvision.bsky.social @sudo.caralynx.com #furryart #furry #commission

Here's a writeup about SNC7330's hidden bootrom and how I extracted it. github.com/GMMan/snc733...

Ever since I turned Copilot on on my GitHub account to test something, my Visual Studio has been generating gobs of code, and I'm not sure whether they changed IntelliCode or this is an effect of Copilot being on.

Stupid code found in the runtime for a course produced with Articulate Rise 360. This is not minimized. What's wrong with `arr.indexOf(val) !== -1`?

Barely thristy thirst traps, because I needed a pick me up, and maybe you did, too. Brush tests for July. @greenwoodje.bsky.social @sudo.caralynx.com @ucbronzewing.bsky.social @ladydarksphynx.bsky.social @thorsvision.bsky.social @snowmiaux.bsky.social #furryart #furry #commission

No cheating, post your lock screen!

Let's talk about Sonix SNC73xx's firmware encryption mechanism. It's implemented through the AES block I've previously posted about. In both SNC732x and SNC733/4x the encryption is based on AES-256, but with different modes of operation.

Would you guys be interested if I opened this type of commissions? I won't open them now but maybe in about a week or two and if I have time as these are very detailed :0 (I'm still thinking about the price but they would be around $85-$95 usd)

I'm looking at an interesting feature in Sonix SNC73xx's AES block. The input key between encryption and decryption are different, and you run a "key generation" step to convert the key as appropriate and copy back to the key input registers before running the decryption.

I played Critter Cove Demo (@crittercove.bsky.social) yesterday, and the character customization is pretty good. Was able to make a fairly good approximation of Sudo (colors adjusted manually in the save file). Wish it was possible to import custom textures for exact markings.

DAZ Studio encrypted scripts For some reason I was reminded about DAZ Studio scripts and how they had encryption on them, and that reminded me that I actually took a crack at it 8 years ago. I don't think people would appreciate if I released a decryptor, but here's some basic info on the format.

Thread about YouTube downloading I posted on Twitter I actually have my own YouTube downloader that I've used for the past few years and I can respect the maintainers of yt-dlp. There's just so much bullshit Google has been implementing, probably to try to stop people from using an alternate client

I'm experimenting with a way to show how DOS games render themselves. Basically I'm recording a lossless video of the game running on a very slow (virtual) CPU, then removing all the frames where nothing happens, and I'm playing it back sped up a lot.

Why is it that choices for WAV writing on .NET seem to be between an archived repo from 10 years ago and NAudio that has a hard dependency on Windows?

Something I only found out about a couple of days ago about the μ'nSP tool chain is you can import symbol files. How Bandai implemented the internal ROM/flash execution framework on VB/DMC now makes a lot of sense. Two separate projects, pass the ROM symbols into the flash project.

Elmo has been conquered. Specifically, successfully dumped the OTP ROM from Love2Learn Elmo (instructed remotely with some less than ideal tools).

Today I wrote UART TX by bit-banging. On a GPCE4 without delay, it goes up to a ludicrous 2500000 baud. The trick to getting consistent timing is padding the 8-bit value being transmitted to a 10-bit value with start and stop bits included, and just using the same loop to send all bits.

It's weird how running an obfuscator.io processed script through another minimizer utterly breaks Obfuscator.io Deobfuscator and REstringer. The resulting logic is roughly equivalent, yet Obfuscator.io Deobfuscator can't recognize it, and REstringer keeps on saying "modified script is invalid".

Definitely not suspicious at all

I know people say don't parse HTML with RegEx, but here I am. I'm lazily extracting src/href attributes with RegEx. (?:href|src)=['"](.+?)['"] It doesn't catch the case where there are no quotes around attributes, but those tend to be rare anyway.

I finally got Moonlight and Sunshine set up for my Steam Deck so I could stream HDR from my gaming laptop. I bought one of those HDMI dummy plugs to present an HDR display. I actually ended up reflashing it with a different EDID because of how it was listed on Amazon.

PSA FOR ARTISTS

It looks like Bandai has rereleased Punitapichan last month. If you've been waiting to get one, now's your chance. It's pretty nifty with its see-through screen. toy.bandai.co.jp/series/punit...

Dumping firmware from JieLi chips JieLi chips are fairly common in Bluetooth audio devices, but they are also becoming more common in miscellaneous devices. Fortunately, retrieving the firmware is mostly straightforward.

I'm currently stuck on figuring out how to get Clang/LLVM to generate assembly instead of IR

Chinese chip suppliers have ...interesting packaging for sample quantities

Arc (the browser) has just disabled all my Manifest v2 extensions again, and it doesn't seem like the modal for reenabling is working. If I can't get this to work I am leaving it. It's also constantly crashing or freezing when closing PDFs, so that's also fun.

I'm messing around with a Puya P25D32SH on a device, and the chip erase time is mind blowing. It only takes less than 100ms to erase the chip, compared to around 30 seconds for a Macronix.

Considering writing a littlefs parser in C# to debug why the dumped littlefs image from the word machine (check my Twitter for thread) can't be opened by the normal tools. If I had to guess maybe they messed with the CRC calculation and therefore tags can't be read.

Regarding the QSOP chip, I am trying to dump the firmware from the KFC x Keep vpet, which uses a JieLi AD155A4. It's a bit special in that it has no USB, so the UBOOT tool someone has made doesn't really work on it.

I hate that both TSSOP and QSOP exist. One has 0.65mm pitch, the other has 0.635mm pitch. I ended up having to get a more expensive Proto Advantage breakout instead of cheap Adafruit ones.

I got the monthly Patreon print reward from @servalsurf.bsky.social

A quick look at the Digimon Color Monster Hunter 25th Edition. Not going to do a deep dive on this since I already did last month (though I don't think I posted a thread about all of it? Most of the details are on Humulos' site).
