I hope they ban you just because you're so annoying. Moderators can run a forum however they see fit. You should have made a single thread for your project and just only posted about it there. I would have banned you a long time ago, especially given the fact that you promote your project even in …

Gosh this is like a courtroom drama, may I approach the bench? Indeed. Do you mean that you want to measure the game's FPS during gameplay? Sure, be my guest. I also never had any problem with mods here since 2004. Just recently, and I was puzzled at his super sensitiveness. I hope he would answer …

Why Xandros? I prefer Puppy or AntiX myself just curious. It's the best period correct LInux out there. Great hardware support for the time. The install size is around 500megs or smaller depending on your installation choice. It doesn't install gigs of shit you are not going to usre on a desktop …

So there's a patch blahblah. Just kidding really. That is cool. So you create the partiiton using the default fdisk? Yes, the patch works with the FDISK of MS-DOS 5. I tested it a few years ago in Virtual PC 2007. Shivers. The last time I used that was on XP Pro not long after that was produced.

Maybe it's because it came with the super valuable fasmath FPU. The one I'm talking about sold on ebay within the last 6 months. I'm pretty sure it was a BIN and sold instantly. Of course, now I can't find it in the 'sold' history. Probably a region dependent issue. Yeah it's good to know the whole …

I'm not surprise and bet I know who it is as well. Seems to be an over sensitive follow by all accounts. Definitely not a good trait for a moderator to have. Quotes of post before they are deleted would be useful I should imagine

Already, shortages of the most revered retro hardware mean that many retro enthusiasts will definitely live out their lives without personally owning, say, a Model M keyboard, or a Gravis Ultrasound, or a real MT-32, original IBM machines, CRT screens, or many old consoles. *SNIP* I can say with my …
