A quick and dirty script to download GDC Vault videos.
# GDC Vault videos can't be watched on mobile devices and this is a very sad thing indeed!
# (Note: this has changed for GDC2013, which lets you watch raw MP4 streams. Kudos!)
# This script is designed to circumvent this by downloading the lecture and slideshow
# videos which can then be re-encoded into whatever format you wish. Obviously, you
# won't be able to do this without access to the Vault. This is strictly for the
# convenience of legitimate Vault users!
# Note: this code is rather flimsy and was written as fast as possible for my own personal use.
# The code only works for the most recent GDC Vault videos, since they all use the same player
# format. If the XML format used to run the player is changed (as it has in the past), the code

Emulating ARM on Debian/Ubuntu

You might want to read this to get an introduction to armel vs armhf.

If the below is too much, you can try Ubuntu-ARMv7-Qemu but note it contains non-free blobs.

Running ARM programs under linux (without starting QEMU VM!)

First, cross-compile user programs with GCC-ARM toolchain. Then install qemu-arm-static so that you can run ARM executables directly on linux

; Compile with nasm
; nasm Small.asm -o Small.exe
bits 64
%define ImageAddress 0x0000000140000000
%define BaseAddress 0x00010000
%define addr(x) (x+ImageAddress+BaseAddress)
%define Kernel32Handle rsp+0x50
%define Kernel32PeHeader rsp+0x58
%define GetProcAddress rsp+0x60
