Is there a decent SE sized phone on the market? I loved my Galaxy Alpha (similar size and form factor) and the 7S I am currently using is a bit too big for my hands (I'm a small guy). The new SE isn't too big, and there seems to be a next gen iPhone of that size in the works. iPhone 11 x iPhone SE …

You can't play the modern football games like a 90s FIFA.. In some ways they kind of killed the fun of it by turning way too much into a simulation and by having too much emphasis on things like ball control, dribbling and realistic ball physics. I love football but you have to admit 85% of a ball …

I played a bit of FIFA Road To World Cup 98 and FIFA 99. Just two matches, Spain 2-0 Netherlands and Vasco da Gama 3-0 Liverpool... OFC I won both and I finally managed to score a header, like I used to do when I played it as a kid decades ago. Oh, how I overused that kind of strategy many times …

LOL LOL LOL LOL Yeah unfortunately people seem to like the bigger ones. We now have what some call “Phablets”, phones with tablet sizes. The Pro and Max versions aren’t for me; I don’t even like the extra camera lenses, I have no use for them since I do not have the habit of taking photos (my camera …

Here's the fun thing, right now I loaded VMware Fusion Tech Preview to play FIFA 98 RTWC on Windows 98 SE vm. My Late 2013 rMBP Intel CPU went as hot as if it was summer here in Rio and the cooling system was freaking noisy like a vacuum cleaner. And when I load the same game with the same VM on my …

Turns out I can use the QXL driver for XP. So far Win 98 and Win 3.11 are fantastic on my iPad. Although I do not get 3Dfx nor acceleration for games like FIFA 98, it's pretty good. Right now, I'm trying to get XP SP3 to the top from updates and Windows 7 too, on both my Mac (QEMU 5.0.0) and iPad …

So... it has been 1 month and no news regarding virtualization of x86 OS on ARM Macs... Even though Parallels and VMware are said to be working on it... let's see: Apple demonstrated the DTK can virtualize ARM linux distros, as shown with Debian ARM. Meaning, the prototype mac does have some sort of …

Just managed to get XP Pro SP3 32bit running well on my 2nd gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro. Thanks, UTM! Good video thanks to a generic VBEMP NT driver. I’m using -vga vmware, I could probably have used a VMware SVGA 3D driver, if I had one or if I could get it somewhere.

At the very current moment with the (very little) news I've been reading and the (supposed to be) leaked benchmark of the DTK (and yes I know it is not very representative of what they will sell in the future, but shows a very good promise of what they can deliver) are very convincing to me, so I …
