so what 20 more rar's to go?

He said 14. And each costs him 13 precious minutes upload time. Since he's so busy (as a successful musician) he has to use his whole bandwidth and time to send music to his customers. That's why he can only upload one every few days.

According to him, only 14.
And it's a ZIP filled with Parts of RARs... you know, those old annoying pirate copy tricks.

You're not fair here, combining zip and rar allow you to get the best compression ratio. This was realy need when the bandwidth wasn't what it is nowadays so this is not realy related to pirate (even if the pirate are the only one that need that much bandwidth )
Even splitted at 1M this sound like, at least, a 14M rar archive. Uncompressed that's about 100M of data. Even counting compilators and interpreters needed to run devil64 (knowing he numbers of languages involved) I cant see how devil64 can use that much storage space (as a way to compare mupen64.pnd is 2.5M and this is without zip or rar compression).
So this is official now : DEVIL64 ship with roms

I just hope he won't make a first wiz virus, that'll erase the whole SD and NAND a copy all those music files 30x...

Wait! Maybe the emulator just LOOKS like music? Maybe because it's unfinished - it resembles music for now? Just by some MAGIC coincidence, the bits and bytes lay down and by PURE coincidence made up a bunch of poems and music sheets? I dunno... Perhaps not XD

I'm puzzled though - does the DC Music mean it can also emulate a Dreamcast?

What do you mean with "also"? Since a RISC is a RISC is a RISC he just uses a DreamCast emulator core to run the N64 code. As it's all RISC code translating it is trivial but unfortunately requires 295 megabytes of lookup tables. Which are implemented in music notation because that' obviously the best format for RISC-to-RISC translation lookup tables.

CrazyRetro stated the emulator needs the flashed version of the ROM to work, which apparently is that big...
Still that does not explain how it could contain Dreamcast music and poems, also I can't see how he would want to load 300MB into the RAM of the Wiz (or is he constantly going to swap files out of the memory?)
But yeah the days of thoughtful speculation are definitely over, let's just get some popcorn and wait

foxblock out

Edit: Let's make a game to guess what's in the next part: I am guessing it will contain Schubert's lost 7th sinfonia

So happy this thread is still going I have total confidence this is real... I'm going to hold my breath now until it's released :wacko:

Should we send over an ambulance in advance?

 

[05C4R]

Don't even try kidding about someone making virus for the Wiz, we really don't need more things to brick the console for us to worry about (although maybe Gamepark would love the idea to force us to buy the Caanoo XD)

Edit: Let's make a game to guess what's in the next part: I am guessing it will contain Schubert's lost 7th sinfonia

Ok, I'll play your game you rogue... I'm gessing that it will contain "Leck mich im Arsch" from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (for you that don't know better, search Wikipedia and you'll see that it makes a lot of sense for the sake of this hoax XD)

 

[jbrodack]

He's emulating with the power of music...

this will redefine emulators as we know them

From the picture it looks like the emulator is Linux based so it should be able to be ported the Wiz and Pandora in 1 day. Mario is a strong linux supporter....picking up penguins to save them and all.
