MILLISEC overflow

1 2
  • #1 ✎ 1847 12Me21 Power User Syntax Highlighter Received for creating the code syntax highlighter on SBS Night Person I like the quiet night and sleep late. Express Yourself MILLISEC is a 32 bit signed integer, so it overflows to a negative number after about 26 days (2147483647/1000/60/60/24 days). (This includes time spent in sleep mode) We predicted this would happen a long time ago, but I've never seen it until now. It actually broke some my code, because I assumed MILLISEC would always be greater than 0. The same thing can happen to MAINCNT, but it would take over a year (not including time spend in sleep mode, since MAINCNT doesn't increase then). Posted Edited by 12Me21

    Interresting. Why would you ever leave your 3DS on with SB open for around a month?     Posted Edited by CyberYoshi64

    Wouldn't that damage the 3DS's battery? (I think that they more likely charge it while in sleep mode.)     Posted Edited by CyberYoshi64

    But how can you turn your phone off if you don't have one?
    I reference this to my tablet essentially running the same OS as phones and its components are also very similar to normal phones. So literally I could say I have a phone which I can´t use as one due to it´s size.     Posted

    no although for the flip it would go really negative for a frame i guess?     Posted
  • #17 ✎ 1847 12Me21 Power User Syntax Highlighter Received for creating the code syntax highlighter on SBS Night Person I like the quiet night and sleep late. Express Yourself Usually there's some smoothing on the FPS display so it might stay negative for a while after MILLISEC overflows Posted
