Potato mode might as well be SNES Doom mode, that's the huge vibe I get from the graphics looking that way. Were you using a GUS for music in that video?

New development video (FastDoom 0.5) https://youtu.be/khVLctBY1GA Curious, why the "age restriction"? There's plenty of videos of Doom that don't have that stretching as far back as 2007... That option makes it impossible to watch the video anonymously without a user account involved which is what …

What a great mod! I had not enough because mod is too short Yeah it is a pretty short campaign, but "Quality over Quantity" rules the day here. Considering how the mod itself ends, it does leave room for a sequel but I'm not the devs (or a HL1 modder for that matter) so I'm not quite sure how …

I'm messing around with the training level now, actually impressed with how well it seems to run. I also hope you can read the subtitles good enough, the entire mod is Russian with English strings and on most videos the subtitles and text uses a very small font that looks as if it was made for …

I ran across Paranoia when I was looking for Half-life mods a while ago, but somehow missed that it had a Dreamcast port - looks pretty cool. I haven't played it at all yet. A word of caution, it's a very difficult mod that doesn't play completely identical to Half-Life's gameplay. There's a …

digging into a long-lost collection of Dreamcast homebrew, ON REAL HARDWARE I was too depressed and tired to have noticed the stream, I don't suppose you ever tried running Paranoia on your Dreamcast have you? It's not as advanced as running on PC due to the PC using a custom OpenGL32.dll file to …

So you want a Gravis Ultrasound? https://youtu.be/c4S71ONxpOk I'm curious, could you test this clone card with some of Unreal's soundtrack running inside of the last official release of Impulse Tracker? You might need a lot of RAM available on the card though. There's also "Tyra" from Operation: Na …

Nah, .NET 1.1 and 2.0 had ANSI (that means Windows 98SE and later compatible) runtimes variants available. It's not distributed by Microsoft anymore, but DOTNETFX20 can still be found. I'll keep this in mind, I rather not make a full Windows XP VM and make a Windows 98 one instead, since that way I …

Seems to use C++/CLI along with .NET 1.1. Damn, that's the oldest possible version indeed. No LINQ, no generics. Only the "good", old, rusty Micorosft Java C# 1.0. Another pain point is the MS's managed extensions to C++ which is C++/CLI. It was ported to .NET Core, but it's still Windows-only. …

Can you share this tool ? Is it open-source ? .NET core runs under Linux and the 90% of the Framework API was ported to it, so ditching the Windows dependency is a real possibility. The website for it long since died, you'll have to search for "Nem's Terrain Builder" yourself unfortunately. It's …

If you don't understand the need for managed programming environments, and think everything should be C/C++, then you are hopelessly stuck in the past. I guess I'll remain hopelessly stuck in the past then, have had nothing but constant trouble with anything C# and .NET related. A tool I need to …

Legacy .NET programs are close to impossible for me to try to run under Linux as well. Why *exactly* was it necessary to come up with .NET in the first place...? What exactly was it "solving"? Why can't people just stick with something with portability like C (and to some lesser extent C++)?

What would of really been useful is public headers. But Epic was adamant in not releasing any such headers for both UT200x games, and Legend obviously didn't care to do any of that either. Public headers would of enabled development of a working OpenGL subsystem.
