Re: Did you create maps for games?

in Milliways
I used to make my own Prince of Persia and Commander Keen level packs, but none of them were very good. There are amazing Keen mods on shikadi.net. The Universe Is Toast trilogy makes me want to get into the scene again. that sounds good, was it an editor like 'keenedit' or similar later ones? I'd …

Re: Bought this (Modern) hardware today

in Milliways
I bought a used Ryzen 5700X that was bundled with a slow 32 gb ddr4 2666 kit. I want to put it in an ITX case for use under my TV and experiment with SteamOS. I'm hoping that it will become a viable alternative to Windows for gaming. Windows 11 still has a bug where the file explorer toolbar …

Re: What music are you listening to?

BTO - Takin Care oF Business Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now I keep cycling between my two musical personalities - alternative metal and synthpop (wonder what that says about me as a person). Any other Devin Townsend fans here? I also listen to a lot of Nine Inch Nails - managed to score tickets to see …

Here we go, The Grand Reveal..................What are your thoughts? Any way to tell if it's Pro or SE? Card.JPG GPU.JPG Memory.JPG I think that's an SE.

Re: Which were the "MUST UPGRADE HARDWARE" games of your past? Which are the consensus games?

Unreal Tournament 2004 and GTA San Andreas. I really liked those games (still do) but my 1.1 GHz Athlon and Geforce 3 TI200 couldn't keep up, especially in UT multiplayer. I upgraded to an Athlon XP 2500+ and Radeon 9600XT just for those games. Huge improvement, I think the speed more than tripled. …

Re: Does Windows Me halt the CPU when it's idle?

Just to update you guys on this - I've installed Windows 98SE with forced ACPI support, and proper CPU idle seems to be working! I haven't found any software that can read CPU power draw on this P4 laptop, but the fan mostly stays off at the desktop and turns on right away when it's running a game. …

Re: Does Windows Me halt the CPU when it's idle?

Just run Rain or one of its contemporary rivals to execute halt - and remain blissfully happy with Win98SE? I prefer to have it built in to the OS if possible. I know it's silly, but it's just how I am. lol Of course, if ME doesn't support HLT and I can't get 98 to cool down even after forcing ACPI …

Does Windows Me halt the CPU when it's idle?

Hey everyone, I picked up a Dell Pentium 4 laptop with a Geforce Go Ti 4200 video card. It came with XP but I feel this would make a great portable Windows 9x gaming computer. For a hot CPU like the P4 running in a laptop, having an OS that supports the HLT instruction would be would nice. Windows …
