I'm a big Retro Consoles fan and had a few of them in the past (NES, SNES, Master System, Mega Drive, PS2, XBOX OG, XBOX360, Wii, Switch, PS4). Nowadays I cover all my console needs with a MiSTer Pi. It's always a pleasure to power it on, have an authentic but wireless controller in my hand and …

Only after becoming an adult and having access to the internet that I learned that the Master System was less popular than the NES in most places. Here in Brazil, the Master System was always considered the “premium” console compared to the NES. In fact we didn’t even have the official NES sold …

I have a soft spot for the Mastersystem. Did quite a few composite video mods for SMS 2 consoles.. I have fond memories of playing games on MEKA on DOS, too. The easter egg about Mario in the config file made me laugh, I recall. ;) Last time I checked for news on Mastersystem games, I noticed that …

(some ideas if you want to venture a bit outside of DOS Space) On about every corner of the Net I hear that the Sega Master System is the most underrated system of all time. Even in the Wikipedia article there are some citations of a “criminally undervalued machine”. So I will very briefly …

Yessss that’s indeed what I was talking about. Thanks for the example. The resolution itself should be 320x200 as for vga but only 4 colors. Only for 16 colors you get 160x100 iirc. Wiki: „A number of official and unofficial features exist that can be exploited to achieve special effects. In 320 × …

I always like stories like that. They also show that updates and fixes are important but never could totally save you from such attacks. It is always said that security by obscurity isn't a good idea...but it is often proved right to be on the obscure side. kind regards soggi I was working for many …

Use chrome, new moon is sadly outdated Good idea, but unfortunately Chrome is not my thing. I don't like supporting Google/Chrome. It's a personal decision, I suppose. I've been always more of a Netscape Navigator and Firefox person. Except for the few Windows 98 years with Internet Explorer 5, I …

Well, you already defined in your message G0tcha, "basic stuff" is modern standard stuff that XP isn't able to do. If you do want to attempt moving on from two decades ago, someone is making a skin for XFCE that looks just like XP. So you could access to modern stuff, while not having OCD screaming …
