An Xbox 360 Emulator for PC

Guess what, there isn't one and there won't be for a while.

Using SDL_image and SDL_ttf with OpenGL

Hope this helps somebody out there.

Convert CSS/HTML Hex Colour to SDL_Color type

It may be useful to use what web developers are pretty used to for colours. Parsing to rid of the # character for parsing not included.

This function takes a value like 0xffffff then returns an SDL_Color type. This is designed for use with SDL and OpenGL, so if you call SDL_GL_SwapBuffers() in your graphics loop function, then this function is likely for you. In SDL, OpenGL space is represented in BGR rather than RGB.

Save time and burn that ISO without unRAR'ing it first

It is annoying sometimes you download some ISOs and they come in RARs but this is just how it is for now. Nowadays I have a quad-core system that really doesn't take much time to extract even a dual-layer ISO out of maximum compressed RAR set, but I still use this script to burn. You can disable skipping SFV checking, etc, but I would not recommend that as wodim does not care if unrar returns an error. It will burn erroneous data from that point on.

The whole point is that you are piping what unrar gives to stdout to wodim's stdin.

A shell command would be similar to the following:

Dual-booters: Keep Firefox profiles in sync between Linux and Windows

The problem: you still need Windows every now and then (even I have this 'problem'). Those games that just refuse to run in Wine, or those applications, or something just is not there in Linux free or not free (like multimedia apps comparable to Logic or Pro Tools, or even FL Studio).

Of course you'll notice that when you boot back into Windows, your Firefox there is completely different from your Firefox in Linux. How do we keep these in sync?
