Re: How hard is is to boycott RIAA? (your favorite performers)

My answer would be similar to leileilol. I bought most of the music I listen to years ago. There might be an album or two a year coming out now that I would have bought but I am like your friend and won't purchase any music from an RIAA source. For example, I heard the new Eagles CD the other day …

I am glad you got your issue resolved. Most of the dealers here in the US will not take back a CPU if it has been damaged due to overheating or improper heat sink installation, so I hope you were lucky in that respect. To be honest, 40C isn't all that hot. Most have to get over 70C before actual …

Re: Old use for a great synth

The MT 32 didn't retain the user programmable patches after power down, so you have to have a patch librarian and store them with a SysEx dump and reload them after power up. It was some of the other synths that had batteries that retained their patches, such as the Yamaha that I had. This is the …

You didn't say which synth. Most of the old ones I am familiar with had a battery that provided power for retaining the patches after a power off. This was in the days before flash memory was in wide use, so if the battery died the patches were lost too and had to be reprogrammed. I just had a …

I never played the latest game since it was Vista only, though I had seen a patch to make it playable in XP. Also, I never played the Pen and Paper version, but had some friends that tried it, wanting something besides the fantasy world of D&D. They said it had a pretty good ruleset and enjoyed the …

Re: What happened to D-Fend

I used to like an older one called Boxer that I used with DOSBox 0.60 to 0.63. The developers stopped updating it and 0.65 had features that it didn't support so I just switched to doing everything manually. It's not that hard to edit a .conf file instead of having to have it loaded into a graphical …

Re: Ultima 8 doesn't like me

Posted on 2007-08-06, 21:06

cpusavant, I had seen a similar problem a couple years ago. Ultima 8 would work fine until you quit, but when you restarted it complained of an improper installation. For some reason a file wasn't being erased during the install. The solution was to install the game, then go into the /static …

I haven't played any RTS multiplayer, but I can see your point in micromanagement and game mechanics. I was referring to the AI in a FPS which is the only thing I have played multiplayer besides a couple MMORPGs. A human has the ability to think outside the box, to do the unexpected, something that …

Many times I deal with difficult people at work - having your network down doesn't bring out the best in many, so when I come home from work and want to unwind with a game the last thing I want is social interaction with others. I can understand that playing against a person would be superior AI …

Re: help!!! I can't play my Crusader games

Posted on 2007-07-16, 11:24

Crusader.exe is what starts the game. The only thing I can think of besides a bad disk is a bad install or the cd drive is not mounted properly in DOSBox. There is a crusader.cfg file in the directory that tells the game which drive is your cd cdletter=e The file you mentioned is in the c:\crusader\ …

A new favorite is Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars The music in it was very good and helped set the mood. The Orc theme "Karash" is available for download at the official site. http://www.spellforce.com/sf2/?lang=en&rid=1417
