I've -almost forgotten what I was thinking about when I created the post... -</p> -<p> -But as you can tell from my recent activity, development of QMidiPlayer -seemed to be stalled. No new features has been added since the rewrite -of the MIDI mapper. However the rewrite is actually for the next planned -major feature: an OPL3 emulator plugin and probably a VST host plugin. -I spent one third of my winter break on reading the specs of the YMF262 -chip but made no real progress, which is a real shame. -</p> -<p> -As for SMELT, I ported it to OpenGL 3.3+ but this is definitely not in -my original schedule. The initial port has a whole bunch of bugs and -quirks, also its performance was poor. Most of these were fixed later on -with the help of <a href="https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace">apitrace</a>. -However currently the new port still makes way more OpenGL calls than -expected. -</p> -<p> -Planned features for SMELT include vertex array switching, material, -lighting and custom shaders. Adding these features will likely make the -older version deprecated though. Plus there's no strong demand for these -features. Therefore they may not be added any time soon. -</p> -<p> -The Virtools part is an entirely accident. 2jjy and I suddenly got excited -with the Virtools SDK and decided to find out what can it achieve. Before -long 2jjy managed to analyze the internal structure of a Virtools -<i>behavior</i>. These data determines how the behavior graph is presented -in the schemetic interface. Checking 'hide script representation in -schemetic' while saving simply discards these data, effectively obfuscating -the script. The final tool we made public reconstructs the base of this -structure using the logic of the script and tries to arrange behavior -building blocks in a more human-readable way. It definitely helps future -analysis of our old pal (Ballance), but not so much in my opinion. Porting -the custom DLLs used by Ballance to a "newer" Virtools verion might be way -more important. -</p> -<p> -The tool has been -<a href="https://github.com/BearKidsTeam/VirtoolsScriptDeobfuscation">made public</a>. -As the job it does falls into a "grey zone", we don't know whether it is -legally acceptable to use it. Use at your own risk! -</p> -</article> -<!-- -vim:syntax=html ---> -</div><br><hr> - <div class="TText" id="notediv" style="font-size:80%;"></div> - <div id="insanch" style="height:3em;"></div> - <div id="footer" style=""> - <div id="pagesw" class="TText" style="width:100%;height:0.5em;"></div> - <div style="text-align:center;" class="TText"> - Proudly powered by SSBS <reduced style="font-size:70%;">(the static stupid blogging system)</reduced> 2.5 - <br> - Content licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. <span id="purgep" style="display:none;font-size:70%;">This page has passphrase(s) stored.
