I can't help but laugh when I read that post... not laughing at you, laughing at how you said it :D dude... is there something wrong with your power? My friend is having bad luck with his HDDs with his fancy schmancy alienware machine too... boy do I think they are POS's now, because his PSU died, …

VirtualBox does full SB16 emulation (except for CSP chip) VMware does not and has NEVER emulated any sound blaster... it emulates the Ensoniq AudioPCI for any one of these, you should also run DOSidle so that your host CPU won't be bogged down because DOS is stupid and doesn't put the guest CPU in a …

the PS2 Linux Kit came with the keyboard, mouse, hdd, VGA cable, and ethernet adapter as shown in that pic... the mouse, keyboard, and HDD were only sold separately in Japan... the only way to get the mouse and keyboard elsewhere was with the Linux kit... the HDD you could get with the FFXI I am one …

did it work for you? I'm curious how it works... I haven't bothered testing it myself as I have no need to use networking in DOS
Re: Best resolution to view Vogons.
Posted on 2012-09-03, 02:34
Some people like to post absurdly high-resolution images of stuff. I actually find when I try to view the site at 1080p on my 37" LCD that the color scheme makes the site very difficult to read. not necessarily "like to", just either too lazy or too stupid to down res their pics to a sane size... …

if you want to get DMA mode working in DOS/Win3.1, try using the Triones drivers for other hardware, you will need to google for the original IBM drivers... Lenovo's website sucks and they got rid of many downloads for IBM's models... you can try there first though!

yeah, it won't convert you to hardware version 9... make a backup of your files, then edit the vmx file and bump the version up to 9.... Surely the changes are lower-level than that? What I could never get is, why do most VMs ONLY support 3d acceleration in guests that are running windows XP/2000 …

so, flashing BIOS will makes pre-installed Windows 8 became UN-activated ? no, the license key and certificate are saved in a portion of the BIOS that can't be easily deleted/changed... updating a nromally BIOS will not get rid of it It's not that hard to change. If you look online you'll find …

If BluRay is so fucking great like you all say, then why hasn't it pushed DVD out yet? It's been on the market how long? 6 years? It took DVD less time than that to push VHS off the market and for VHS to do the same to Betamax. When HD-DVD flopped, there was supposed to be this huge rush of people …
