Finding a CPU Design Bug in the Xbox 360

The recent reveal of Meltdown and Spectre reminded me of the time I found a related design bug in the Xbox 360 CPU – a newly added instruction whose mere existence was dangerous. Back in 2005 I was…

I had interposed X and Y, and I had not corrected the odd and even movement for peek until this moment.

Well. This is acceptable. The ceiling texture really wasn't all that important, anyway.

I think this was the main problem keeping me from using 2.79 for the "Press Conference" and "Suiting Up" sequences.

Tomorrow I'll animate a "Set Tour" as a test, and then move on to checking/fixing the shot files.

G'night! #Blender3D #LunaticsProject #BugHunt

Specifically, the texture controls "Geometry Normals", and turning that off makes the problem go away -- although it also trashes the appearance of the ceiling. I'll have to find a different way to do it.

So basically, I've got to the bottom of the mystery. Though I don't know why Blender 2.79 triggers a memory allocation error when processing geometry normals. I would've expected that to be a tested feature.

IT DOES NOT LIKE THIS CEILING!

Wow. Weird. It'll render if debug mode is not on, at least some of the time. But in debug mode, it consistently crashes, even if this is all I include.

I wonder why..?

Frustratingly, I can't get it to crash without the "--debug" flag, even after a couple dozen tries. With or without Freestyle. Odd. Must be a load condition that triggers it? Maybe how much RAM has already been allocated?

I think this still has to be it, though. #Blender3D #LunaticsProject #BugHunt
