Re: eMMC storage durability in smartphones

I did try that, but the issues came back almost immediately, so I checked it off as being the hardware. Also it worsened over time in an erratic pattern, which to me also seemed hardware related. That said, the OS size outgrew the storage capacity, with it being 90% full most of the time and me …

My Moto G5 died due to this last year. Had it since release. Had to change the external storage once due to a SanDisk card going bad (which happens to me quite often with this brand...) but eventually it died due to the non-replaceable internal storage increasingly corrupting to the point of no …

Did get it a bit cheaper though. Noticed this seller also offers worn home made 5.25" copies of software for new prices, so yeah... just hope the condition won't disappoint, there is quite some stuff with (and reviews about) water damage.

Oh well, perhaps I read your question a teensy bit too literally then, heh... But seemed like you were a 'collector' of sorts, hence the vast array of options. At least now you know they really do exist on CD. No, no, much appreciated! Actually found myself the 1998 MSDN Platform Archive. There's …

Short question: anyone here knows if there are any Windows 3.11 versions out there on CD-ROM? OEM, bundled, suite, dev disc? So I can form a good eBay search for one. (I know there are many other ways to obtain it, I have the retail diskettes and it can be downloaded, but this is just a weird …

Hi, I was wondering, as I never had or researched these cards: are there any games that only had 3d acceleration using one of these cards, or where 3d acceleration was superior to glide/3dfx? Was checking out some of your videos. Results look impressive, but was wondering if there is much to gain …

Re: How important is screen resolution to you?

On a side note, I hate it when modern-ish 16:9 TVs insert ugly GREY bars instead of black bars for displaying 4:3 content. Or when games or apps force novelty bezels with artwork to fill out the aspect ratio, or stretching the image for that matter. Don't get people's issue with black bars when …

For gaming I prefer the golden ratio of 16÷10, at 1920x1200. Best chance for pixel perfect retro resolutions, fine for movies and modern games and the extra vertical space is fantastic for browsing and working. I actively dislike higher resolutions, as to my eyes it wastes resources for minimal …

Re: Heads Up: Roland Sound Canvas VA VSTi Plugin!

I sent an e-mail to George Sanger (the actual Fat Man) to ask about the T7G MIDI situation. He confirmed that the music was originally composed for SC-55 and the official soundtrack was recorded using a SC-55 Mk. II with help from the community. He was also quick to point out the problem with the …

I tried your Midi Player, which reproduced the same behavior as SAVIHost (wrong drums). Enabling CTF as you described did indeed work, and the music then plays with the correct drums, which looks to be STANDARD and not ORCHESTRA. I was thinking, I am constantly comparing this to my current, real SC …
