Downloaded the VogonDrivers archive and I'm adding it to my FTP uncompressed - Will probably rename the files to a more readable format using the CSV as a source, to facilitate FTP browsing. I'll also leave the torrent seeding the archive file to aid someone who might need to download it. Thanks to …

Its not any secret, or anything what need to be kept from public.. if managed to make archives and it would be easily extractable.. its all what we need. Of course, but as you're the original creator of this compilation, I wouldn't want anything to be done against your preference. I've finally …

EDIT2: I'lm also pondering on the possibilty of compressing each game individually - if anyone wants the full package, they can just leech the entire directory. With this you would created other problems: 1) You would have to add credits text file to every single game archive. 2) Afaik FTP is not …

I've got an upload folder on my FTP and I've got roughly 100GB free - if you want you can upload there, and then I'll move it to its own directory, so everyone can get it (if you wish so). If you have such possibility just download archives above, extract them, upload files to ftp.. and write here …

Hello, I just copied the driver cd for the Creative 3d Blaster Geforce 256 Annihilator and Annihilator Pro. I know my account is brand new and I'm supposed to wait but I see old requests on the forum for the official driver cd so people may still be interrested. Thank you very much. I'll add it to …

He did not really reach space. He flew in the thermosphere. But then again, the different US gouverment agencies define it all differently. Nasa say 80 kilometers. Other say 118 kilometers. Nations in Europe say 118 kilometers. Space??? Well, not exactly true. But there was nothing else around …

Any way of dumping the EPROM contents to see if there are any text strings that might give a clue?

I have four old servers lying around the house. As they are heavy power-hungry breasts, I rarely play with them (and I'm not even sure they are functioning correctly as I write this). Is there any scenario where they might be fun to play with, something that can't be done with "ordinary"retro …
