Re: Command Issue

Posted on 2013-06-13, 00:51

The only way to start DOSBox without knowing where it is is to add its location to the PATH environment variable (permanently from the control panel, not from the command prompt). But that just complicates matters (and requires you to know where DOSBox is at least once), so you might want to keep …

Yeah, I think you were the "intentionally misinforming troll". 🤣 The same winner also tried picking a fight with the moderators by repeating deleted posts about illegal CD copying, if I recall.

Then don't use online games or gaming forums as dating sites. 😉 If it ain't someone you're gonna meet irl, it's wasted energy anyway.

Would it have a personal impact on you guys whether someone on teh interwebs is or isn't a woman? I remember a particular ex-poster here who couldn't shut up about how she was a "genuine girl gamer"... that one imploded pretty fast. Flaunting it and trying to "prove" it just tends to come across as …

leilei - well, he's Russian, and Western computers/games were hardly very big over there when Alley Cat was still "a thing"... guess they had to wait for the USSR to dissolve before cheap XT/AT clones started flooding the market (he opens one of his podcasts talking about that). Not that this is a …

Of course, but what of it? it contradicts nothing I've written. When you work for someone else, author's rights belong to your employer but that is something both sides are aware of when the agreement is signed. No problem there. What I was referring to is the original authors (be they Joe …

...just an example of the entitlement mentality that people have that they can just take from people who create ... You know full well that "copyright holders" does not necessarily equal the "people who create". Don't pretend that greed and entitlement don't exist on both sides of the fence - it's …

So what were the benefits of an LCD? Thin. Lightweight. Can be made larger. Aaaand, that's it. Don't forget less heat, a lower power consumption, and less flicker/eye-strain (for most people). I'm hardly the biggest fan of LCD technology, but for most undiscerning/average users these are legitimate …

Back in the '90s they were rare indeed, at least around these parts. My uncle used to be a professional musician, and he was the only one I knew who owned Roland (and later, Turtle Beach) hardware... sure blew my mind when I first heard it in action.

19" 4:3 LCDs with a max res of 1280x1024. That would be 5:4. Which I still think is the weirdest aspect ratio ever. I've been using two of these for years, in a dual display setup, and really don't feel the need to upgrade at the moment. I dont know what your on about, a 23/24" widescreen 1080p …

Good luck with the move. I just hope the new framework would still be lean and mean... most modern forum software seems to enjoy hammering the client side with 400kb of useless javascript for 20kb of content.

Does DirectX 10/11 majorly boost performance for shaders? I have a Geforce GT-240, nothing fancy, and under XP the CRT shader got choppy on full frame updates. Just installed Win7-x64 on exactly the same hardware, and now it's *a lot* better (aside from some minor tearing)... nice surprise I guess. …

Exodus Emulation Platform

Posted on 2013-05-28, 14:21

In development since 2006, the first public release is out now, and soon to be open source: http://www.exodusemulator.com/ It currently emulates a Mega Drive, but more interestingly, it should be capable of emulating almost everything else: Exodus is a software program designed to allow real …

That's a shame... hope to see you get your motivation back, because obviously this kind of "IT'S 2013 MAN GET WITH TEH PROGRAM!!1" LAMERS aren't your target audience, nor are they even qualified to comment on what you do. I guess it's a matter of choosing the proper channels.

Crazy thing is, I was over 600M when I lost ball 2 (extra ball included). This table is all about random timed events, and somehow the game kept spamming me with "shoot treasure for jackpot" which is an easy 40M. I even started recording a video in DOSBox a little bit before that point, but of …
