IUPAG

International Union of Pure & Applied Gaming:

"By Gamers, For Gamers: Committed to the Organization, Preservation, & Development of Romhacks" !!!

⏪ History: IUPAG was born to address the lack of a standard naming convention for romhacks, specifically, with respect to "naming collisions" (where different hacks have the same name): This mostly occurs with (1) Translations & (2) Sports games that update rosters to "current year" (i.e. Tecmo, NHL, etc). However, these "naming collisions" also occur with other hacks: When two different hacks have the same "branding" (name).

⏩ Philosophy: The goal is to provide a "Parent Specification" that is easily customizable according to individual preferences, as well as promote other standards, like good, sane patching practices (like "auto-patching").

How to Setup Syncthings with PC and muOS

Terminology

Name	Description
Syncthings	Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet.

General Idea

The guide would setup syncthings with a PC and RG35XX Plus running muOS, if your host system is different the concept would be the same however you might need to tweak a few things. I would be syncing my muOS save folder to my PC as a backup method.

Simple script for zsh which gives us a more native up/down arrow behavior for the [atuin magial shell history][1] plugin with behavior similar to e.g. [zsh-history-substring-search][2]. This is an improved reimplemtation of [@Nezteb's gist][3] for the same issue.

Behavior

Note

This assumes default keybindings

First and foremost: The script is aware of multiline buffers. So when going up or down, the script will first try to step through the lines of a multiline buffer, before going to the next history entry.

When pressing up the shell will iteratively go through the previous atuin history and have each result directly in the command buffer / command line. Any text in the initial buffer will be used as a search query.

Texture Packs and Resource Packs Information

DDS vs. PNG Packs:

You NEVER want to use both a PNG and DDS pack together, always pick one or the other. The short version is, if a texture pack author provides both a DDS and PNG version of their texture/resource pack, you most likely want to use the DDS version. The reason is that DDS is much faster to load than PNG and is less likely to "stutter" when textures are loaded in. There is a caveat to DDS textures, and that is reduced image quality. But, a properly created DDS texture pack will be nearly indistinguishable from its PNG counterpart.

There are several types of DDS formats, ranging from BC1-BC7, and can also be known as DXT1-DXT5. The format that users should be concerned about in regards to Dolphin texture packs is the BC7 format. If a texture pack is using BC7 DDS textures, the user must have a DX11 capable GPU or the textures will not load. In this case, the
