You're right, it doesn't matter. But I don't like pdf. Everything in pdf can easily be done in html and do not need the bloated software of adobe's (imo).

Actually... the point of PDF is completely different from HTML. PDF is universally used for page layout, and will look and print the same for everyone (usually), and is also read-only. HTML is for screen reading and allows different browser interpretation, different screen sizes down to PDA/cellphone, different stylesheets, depends on user's fonts, and is editable. Word and Pagemaker are closer to PDF, but not as standard and are not read-only.Doomulation said:
For example, send an employer your electronic resume? It had better be PDF, or you risk looking like a fool when it doesn't display correctly. And academic papers are always PDF - need to be non-editable.
just for your purpose, it doesn't matter. I like HTML for simple things too, it's smaller than Word.

Now then what's XHTML for?zAlbee said:Actually... the point of PDF is completely different from HTML.

Besides that, it can be done to make it print correctly. Well, at least if you design it using proper widths. Or using some special print preview like with IE.
Either way, acrobat reader is slow and bloated. Find a better program, and a new format that isn't so slow and bloated if you want it in another format.

HTML is for screen reading, what is XHTML for?
If that's not enough, you can try Ghostview which is tiny and opens instantaneously. It has a VERY minimal interface though.
This is true, the reader is awfully slow, that's why I use this -- Adobe Acrobat Speedup. It disables all the useless plugins and now it loads in about 1 second.Doomulation said:

Remember that XHTML is supposed to be the HTML standard. Which means all browsers should interpret it exactly the same.zAlbee said:
Ah, that link you posted, I will try it out.

i hate to be a stick in the mud, but can we remember this is a thread devoted to the wonders of chip8 emulation, not a document format debate

you must be using 7.0, the s-l-o-w versionbcrew1375 said:
Other then using adobe 7.0, i don't really have any speed problems as long as my pfd isnt over10mb or somethin.
Thanks for the links to the docs
I did try searching and couldnt find them, nm i got them now.
I just completed all the opcodes (apart from the graphics ones)
and am about to start the implementation of the graphics. Im slightly confused with the font stuff atm, but hopefully your docs will shed some light.
Thanks again

I use 5.0, and its rather fast :huh:bcrew1375 said:I'm using 5.0, needless to say, I haven't updated it in a long time

As for the fonts; they are merely data stored in the interpreter memory which, when pointed to by I would print letters. They are bit encoded as all gfx. I listed all the fonts for both chip8 & schip8 in the doc, so you should be able to use them without hassle. If you want to get better looking fonts (or different), you could try to change them.bobmcbob said:Thanks for the links to the docs

Well, I use foxit reader after som fine recommendations and I must say - it's so much faster than acrobat reader, even with all the plugins disabled.
Sorry, i dont have anything to say about PDF... but i made a little Chip8 Emu.
So after GameBoy, GameGear and Chip8 i think i might try something more advanced now :whistling
I thought about doing something with OpenGL and Atari2600, but i heard its quite hard to emulate. Well, my final goal still is the Saturn, so it shouldnt be much harder than that...
But i am open to suggestions by all the pros here, about what would be a feasible next step

Snes, afaik, is awfully complicated.
Then again, so are the mappers on nes.
