Re: who does boardgames?

I bought 2 recently. King Richard the Lionheart and Xenoshyft (the 2nd 1, Dreadmire?). Had them a few weeks, no interested parties at the moment. I'm not sure either of these is to my liking. Scouting around 3 others caught my eye: Terraforming Mars, Pulsar 2849, and the Search for Planet X. I'm …

Re: How will this affect DOSBox development?

I don't think DOSBox calls any of these features at the hardware level, does it? SW emulation of x86 features is exactly what it does (hence it has builds for x64 CPUs and for ARM CPUs as well). Maybe some specialty features / custom builds offer passthrough to hardware in a non-portable way? That …

Re: Nostalgia for vintage PCs in the future

2050, so ~25 years from now. Judging by the expectations of people in 1985 for 2000 vs reality, there's always a chance that vogons stills exists and someone necroposts in this thread using their beige computer, because beige has become the new black. Heck, I'll add a google calendar notification …

How will this affect DOSBox development?

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-ponders-transition-to-64-bit-only-x86s-architecture Intel wants to discontinue legacy support in future x86 CPU's. It says they are considering pruning features dating all the way back to the 8086/8088 era, so I would imagine that any emulator that calls on …

Has anyone else noticed this?

Ebay sellers, with hard to find PC parts, that they are listing for gold recovery, but they are selling them for prices that exceed the value of the gold that can be recovered from them? If you're selling parts for gold recovery, shouldn't you be selling them for a price that the buyer can turn a …

Re: FYI: Steam drops Win7/8/8.1 in 2024

And the games never were yours to begin with. EULA is misleading. Games are yours, but Steam itself is not, that's a free service. So Valve is not obliged to keep system requirement from 20 years ago or give you capabilities to resell games, for example. But at the same time, they can't legally …

Re: Denuvo has published a book on the dangers of emulators

I like how he is concerned about revenues from old games, as if games from the 80's and 90's were still selling enough to raise substantial revenue for the copyright holders. I'm not talking about just PC and Mac games, either. I'm including Atari, Texas Instruments, Apple II, etc games from back …

Re: No CRT Emulation? Why!?

So if someone does emulate it, will we get glare from sunlight through the windows behind us, or lamps and light fixtures around the room, like we did with CRT's? That is so distracting, and I say no. Good riddance to CRT's.

Re: Intel wants to remove 5V & 3.3V from PSU

If that happens older ATX PSU prices may go way up.... Also that means motherboards will have many more VRM parts leading to more future failures.... added: Intel has not built a desktop motherboard for years so am curious of their motive. Wonder if board makers will ignore the new spec for desktop …
