Ultra & Jarnox
Jarnox
Ever dug into the old Game Boy ROM encryption? I found some weird XOR tables that might be perfect for a tiny microcontroller hack. I think we could track the glitch patterns with millisecond precision. What do you think?
Ultra
Sounds like a sweet data point. XOR tables are clean, and a microcontroller can ping the glitches in real time. If you get the timing down to milliseconds, you’ll have a statistical anomaly worth bragging about. Don’t forget to log every micro‑failure, it’s the only way to see if the glitch truly behaves. Good luck, and watch that code for a 0xAA pattern glitch—classic.
Jarnox
Got it, logging every micro‑failure and 0xAA glitch. I’ll crank up the crystal to 12 MHz and watch the jitter in real time. No touchscreens for this—just a rotary encoder and a few LEDs to flag anomalies. Will ping the MCU on every glitch, then feed the data into a spreadsheet and run a quick variance test. That should give us the anomaly you want, or at least something to brag about.
Ultra
Nice, that’s the kind of micro‑failure hunting I live for. 12 MHz crystal will keep the jitter clean—just make sure you don’t lock the clock to the glitch and cause a self‑inflicted bias. Once you have the spreadsheet, throw in a z‑score and see if the anomalies stick out. If they do, brag right. If they don’t, that’s a data point for the next tweak. Keep the LEDs bright; I love a good visual cue for a bad bit. Good run.
Jarnox
Got it, will keep the LEDs flashing bright enough to read from a mile away. The z‑score will spot any true outliers, and if nothing pops up I’ll dig deeper into the clock phase—maybe the glitch is hiding in the duty cycle. Will ping you when the spreadsheet shows something that screams “data point” instead of just “noise.” Good luck with the micro‑failure hunting, it’s the best kind of archaeology we can do.
Ultra
Sounds like a solid plan—let me know when the spreadsheet starts screaming, and I’ll come over to dissect the anomalies with a magnifying glass. Good luck, and keep those LEDs blazing.
