A common glitch with Nintendo 64 emulation is when you can see through objects when your 'camera' is very close to them. This is a common limitation of DirectX (and possibly OpenGL).

Inb4 people who are going to tell that this shit had awesome 3D compared to the puny PSX ;). PSX has actually useful 3D with normal framerates, unlike these hyper craptastic attempts at 3D cards. And I should know, as I have it plugged in right now to my CRT 100 Hz TV with a Wipeout 3 CD inserted. …

Certain games use background tiles for characters such as bosses. Still, some other games exceed the maximal per-sprite color limit by overlaying a sprite tile over others, such as in Megaman on the NES. Still, other games have to group multiple sprites together to make larger elements such as …

I am confused on what cuts the high frequencies from sound on the Sega Genesis. I found on other sources it was 22050hz, but experimenting with the ring chime from Sonic, I found it to sound really bad on such a rate. So I think it must be 52khz, the chips' original sample rate, with a low-pass …

It had a working video card until suddenly their PC broke down, so the ones that repaired their PC cared about a Windows reinstallation. Unfortunately, it's "modded" so it looks too different from Microsoft's official design. And to top that, the ones that repaired their PC did not install a video …

I have a neighbor who has this exact problem. Her video card could no longer unleash its full potential. Her video card was detected as a standard VGA adapter . The disadvantage of this could include slower overall performance as all the graphics jobs get to the main CPU and all graphics memory get …

Yeah you may want to rethink that reliance on AdBlock: http://www.maximumpc.com/microsoft_google_and_amazon_reportedly_pay_adblock_plus_ignore_ads_2015 ABP has an optional whitelist. Yeah, big deal.

+1 for adblock and no-script, along with ghostery to get the rest. Its not safe to browse the web without them anymore. I would never support a game that forced me to disable them. I'd suspect it of trying to get malware into my system. Suggest not playing that game lol . You're absolutely right. …
