I had a quick look. CZ =counterstrike =half life =quake 2 derived Correct? I find it hard to believe carmack had limits like that. It might be worth looking into cs/hl/Q2 limits for some hints

I've done a bit of the python course here: https://www.codecademy.com It's fairly bite sized lessons and it has a... kind of fake machine for you to write and run code in so there's no messing around with IDEs etc. However, I have been paid to code in a different language, so I guess I'm a …

11gb is probably a tad high for a probably 32bit game that can only address 4gb Max. Try something less silly like 2gb 2,147,483,648

A negative number would suggest a signed integer/float overflow. Eg if a value was 8 bits, and it was signed (ie it can have a SIGN showing +/-), then it would be effectively 7 bits. -127 to +127 If you then gave it an 8 bit number, say 157 it would hit +127, tick over to -127 and add 19 to that, …

if it somehow did i would hope it'd have some RAM we could piggyback on but i doubt it'd have enough to matter... i noticed the machine technically supports up to 16MB and the RAM chips are just soldered in... been debating on and off if i want to install some sockets and just slot in the max …

Recent pickups - G200 and G400 Max. Unfortunately the G200 has artifacts 😭 g200.JPG g400.JPG Got a soldering iron? I'd first try reflow the passives around the memory see if that works. Then replace caps. Then replace the ram. There is testing software that might be able to isolate the exact chip. …

I'm sorta, kinda, maybe considering buying this old mystery PC as a project. Anyone care to venture what the motherboard looks like from this very limited eBay listing? Seller has no info about the PC. I can see it's ATX, 4 dimms EDIT: Actually, looks like 2x2 different RAM kinds. (1 AGP?) 1 AMR. 5 …

I wish there was a decent guide to understanding the various elements of bioses like how the acpi tables work. I've modded a few bioses, but it's still mostly a mystery. You'd think that software every pc for 40+ years runs would have been picked apart to the point of almost every byte being …

I see 3 jumpers on the card. What do they do? Could this be a similar sort of situation to the jumpers which would restrict larger IDE drives to ~8gb? A 20mb "compatibility mode" of sorts

If you have an old old pin cpu you don't care about, a hot air station, and the patience of a Saint: Theoretically, you could transfer the pins across to the chipset, put in your bodge wire, and have the space required to solder to the board with hot air. The chipset would be on stilts, but it …
