Although I guess it helps I have a programming background.
What the fuck is this nerd shit.
With the advent of piston-powered scroller ROMs I wonder if it would be possible to convert one into a HDD of sorts, so it's re-writable...
[QUOTE=laharlsblade;31508885]Um, sorry for the subject change, but I made Yankee Doodle on my music machine... it's much more accurate than the Ode to Joy tune. It's not nearly as complex or impressive as those memory cells or whatever the hell you guys are doing, but... I wanna post it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rst_xIYCHU[/media][/QUOTE]
This is the best Minecraft video I've ever seen.

The problem with it is that you can only access the values one after another, you can't really jump to other places without an 8bit memory cell and a 8bit counter, which would take up some much space (more than the actual memory) that it's better to use RAM and multiplexers.

Actually it would be easier to hook up an array of RS NORS than make a scroller ROM RW
Also, I think you miss-understood my memory cell
Its a fully re-writeable memory cell, it writes within about 4 ticks

The way it works is that both sticky pistons extend and retract, however, the top one will retract a little bit later, so the bottom one will always pull the block down
When a bit should be set, the bottom one is constantly powered, so the top one grabs the block instead

I just figured someone would try it for the same reason people would bother to make a computer out of Redstone: The challenge of it.
"Yeah it was hard as fuck to do and it's not very practical, but it was an excellent problem-solving exercise and it's more proof of the fantastic shit you can do in Minecraft."

Yeah, that's how the video I linked too does it as well except that it uses slightly less vertical space.

Oh, I missed that video
I didnt know that pistons acted like that when pushing up powered blocks
Neat

While I of course appreciate it, I'd have to disagree. Here's the video that inspired me a while back:
[QUOTE=RivaGe;30915869][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1riyTQfB5q0[/media][/QUOTE]
His looks much better, although it doesn't cover all 24 tones. I suppose if I make another song I'll use chords. And just FYI, I didn't copy his design, I just remembered this video and set out to make my own that I designed myself. The similarities are just the best ways to do it I suppose.

A blazing 32 bytes of ROM
That fucking decoder was a hell to build
Those rom ram decoder memory cells seem really easy to make once you know how it works.
The're a hell to program though since you have to enter all the binary outputs.
I only have 17 13 bit segments of ROM, I'm a failure.

Also we are using the same type of ROM :buddy:

64 bit ROM, I havent added any decoder to it yet, though
what the FUCK is this ROM RAM nerd shit?

Memory.
Okay, what is a scroller ROM?
I've heard it mentioned a lot here, but I can't find any reference to it.

You should do a video explaining what this is, how it works and all that.

Scroller ROMs use a mechanism like the videos you might have seen here where they were used to play music, pistons push a tube of blocks in such a way as to rotate alternating solid/transparent blocks which can be read when it's come around to the right place.

What exactly do these sort of things do with the memory they store?

Its not even connected to anything currently
But you could, for example, use it for a 3D printer

That's pretty immense.
That's cool as fuck
Now, actually make it DO something interesting instead of confuse the fuck out of us.
