  • For those who have no idea what this is (like me 5 minutes ago).

    Sega teamed up with Nintendo to develop a GameCube-based arcade platform. Bolstering their ranks was Namco, another coin-op stalwart with tons of arcade veterans.

    Three companies, one mission: Triforce.

    The Triforce hardware is built around a stock GameCube motherboard, with two Triforce-specific boards attached to it: the AM-Baseboard and AM-Mediaboard.

    As of Dolphin 2512-395, Triforce support is here!

    The article is very long and contains a lot of history and stuff.

    Impedence is the combination of resistance (ordinary resistance to current) and reactance which is resistance specific to alternating current which comes from the capacitors and coils in the equipment. Even a squiggly circuit trace can create reactance. So, impedence is resistance.

    Whatch this short for a clear explanation:

    From what I’ve read, and from talking to a guy who own a music studio near me, impedance mismatch is a real thing in audio equipment. At best, it’ll lower the sound level causing you to have to crank up the volume, which just puts more strain on your equipment. Worse, it can cause crackling from waveform peaking. At the very worst, it can damage equipment.

    Brushing it off just because the guy doesn’t know the wavelength of audio signals is a dick move. No wonder he stopped talking to you. I bet you, yourself, know a lot of things, a lot of true things, that you can’t explain to the utmost detail.

    “You say quarks are combined with the strong force to make protons, huh? Well, what’s the binding force between an up and down quark? Oh, you don’t know? Curious.”
