Re: Master of All Systems

in Milliways
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 …

Re: Master of All Systems

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 …

Re: Master of All Systems

(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 …

Re: Doom8088: Doom on a 286 / 8088

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 × …

Re: Windows 7 Risk

in Milliways
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 …

Re: Still using XP and dont want to change

Use chrome, new moon is sadly outdated Good idea, but unfortunately Chrome is not my thing.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 …

Re: Still using XP and dont want to change

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 …

^Hi, that old Mac Pro here is an 2006 model (flashed to v2.1), without SSE 4 capable CPUs. It has 24 GB of RAM and four SSDs, each for one bay (128 GB, 256GB, 1 TB, 256 GB). Windows is Windowx XP SP3 (i386) with several patches. Mac OS X 10.6.8. is also installed on separate SSD. The web browser is …

Re: Still using XP and dont want to change

Edit: My old main PC is an Mac Pro, running Windows XP by the way. I'm using it as my PC for emulators and VMs. It's barely usable to surf the net anymore, though. The browser is too old to even log-in into my e-mail account, even. My laptop is a 2009 Dell E4200, C2D 1.6ghz, 4GB ram, 128GB SSD, XP …

Re: Wolfenstein 3D doesn't detect a mouse

in PC Emulation
Sorry, but I only want IMG not the exported thing. Just because PCem can only load IMG files, I even can't find a way to make every folders all in one as a IMG perfectly. msdos is wonderful and belongs to a beautiful era of computing, give it the time it deserves to learn it about the img images, …

Re: Still using XP and dont want to change

What I've also liked about XP was its ability to run off FAT32 partitions. As a former Windows 98SE user, this was such a relief. I could switch to Windows XP without bothering about NTFS permissions. All files and directories were accessible to all users and OSes. I use FAT32 on all PCs I build …
