Re: Is there any reason to use Windows 95/98 over 98se?

Posted on 2016-06-08, 13:50

The free version of 98lite does at least rip out the sluggish IE based file manager and replace it with the snappier one from Win95. That alone helps 98 feel much faster on old hardware. It also reduces the amount of memory used which also helps. In the end, it mainly depends on your use case. If …

Re: Retro Consoles.... who plays them

I'm a huge fan of retro consoles. I've never seen PC and console as mutually exclusive. I love both equally. Here is a shot of my little retro console "den". Dayum there's some great consoles in there! A TurboDuo and an AES, as well as a NES toploader and SNES Jr - nice setup! :-D You forgot to …

I use the Sewell Hammerhead . I've not run into any issues with it. I made a video of it quite some time ago here . I've since upgraded my LCD to a BenQ. The old one was a Hanns-G. The BenQ seems to have issues with some resolutions, but I blame that on the monitor, not the Sewell. I should note, …

Thanks for this. For some added security you may want to add the following header: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN This will prevent any embedded, IFRAMES running. You could also look into Content-Security-Policy header, but that one is a bit more complicated, esp since I see this site uses embedded …

Re: How to mirror a reasonably large web site?

It really depends on the website. If it uses js/ajax/json, then it won't mirror very well. But, for static websites. wget works well enough: Copy code to clipboard 1 wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent http://example.org

Other than retro PC games I also collect retro console games. I've also built a MAME cabinet. Outside of gaming I'm into movies and I am rather proud of my home theater setup. I also tinker with RC cars. I've built one from scratch. That gets me out of the house. To spend excess energy I like to …

I actually prefer the new graphics. It is so nice to finally have full screen widescreen in this classic. IMO, they did an outstanding job redrawing everything. It is just how I would have imagined it being. The only downside is that with high res artwork, the low framerate of the animation really …

Re: Batlezone 98 Redux

I played this back in '98. It was a fun game, perhaps a little bit ahead of its time. Was not a huge fan of the strategy elements, but the shooting was fun. Being able to get out, walk around, and switch tanks was a good time. This is a remaster, just some slightly cleaned up textures and models, …

http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/AcOd-0YgPSU/hqdefault.jpg I picked up a Razer Chroma keyboard/mouse set. I was feeling the need for some more flash on my desktop, and this fits the bill nicely. I apologize in advance for my badly robotic voice-over skills in this video. Right now I have it running with an …

Delicious :) Looks like a nice system. Friend of mine's supposed to gift me his two GTX 970's in a few months when pascal comes out. Literally just "give"? That is one generous friend. 8-O I may upgrade to the 1080 (Pascal) or what ever numerical moniker they give it. I've had this 970 since late …

I already had the video card, but bought the Mobo, RAM, CPU, and SSD. Now I'm all ready for VR. :blush: Note: this shot is not the final case, this is just the …

Re: Lost interest in new games since a couple of years...

While there are ebbs and flows to my interest level, it never completely goes away. I find that if I'm bored with the status quo, it is time to try something different. There are so many facets to gaming, and so many options, that if you are bored, you really didn't look hard enough. I find that …
