I am pretty disappointed with the new GTAV remaster for PS5

Sorry if I write on this old thread but I'd like to understand how some things doesn't work just like in Win 7 used to. I'm using a WDDM1.1 GMA3600 Dx9.0c gpu on Win 8.1 and the 3DMark2000 different cases are these: 1) No compatibility options- of course memory check problem doesn't start 2) …

I didn't watch Breaking Bad when it launched so I'll finish up the 5th season in April. Have Money Heist on my next watchlist
Members of Vogons, what shows do you currently watch?

Members at VOGONS definitely have things to do other than "VOGONS", that's how life goes. At the end of the day, what do you watch on TV or OTT or anywhere?
Re: Why did they rush Windows 11?
Posted on 2022-03-23, 09:05
I have 2 machines, one which couldn't install Windows 11 because of unsupported specs, while my main PC having a 1st Gen Ryzen installed it without any tweaks at all. I didn't have the supported list then, so I installed based on what the installer says. Funnily, withing Windows 11, the PC health …

I'd swap the question round to why did you rush to install Windows 11? I never recommend anyone installing any windows version, (or anything new really) till it's been out in the wild for at least 12 months. Even if Microsoft themselves have updated everything for the new shinny OS, other software …

No controversy intended, but if Microsoft was able to put a stable and well ordered OS, where you wouldn't have to go through the steps of disabling Telemetry (cough *XP*) and the extra performance stuffs, and if most things were quite transparent with quite new features at launch (being added with …

Here we go: https://github.com/narzoul/ForceD3D9On12 Don't get your hopes up. Most games using ddraw.dll crash, at least the 3D ones. But a few work fine, Unreal for example. D3D8/9 seems to have better compatibility, but I didn't have much time to test a lot of titles. Rainbow Six Software …

For 15bit, I’m happy to record if you like. I figured someone would mention if interested. For Jazz, it was a mistake, thanks for catching it. For Turok, I don’t understand your request other than to say if I exclude 3D acceleration, I lose most of the reason for putting this list together. The …

You're missing 15-bit modes (that definitely was a thing). Turok - Dinosaur Hunter Can you exclude 3D acceleration? You're just going to list all of them if you go that route and if so, it'd be a much shorter (and more interesting) list for games that do support 32-bit 3d accel in the 90s. Then …

MechWarrior 2 Titanium Trilogy had 8 and 16-bit folders and the 8 bit folder had the Battlepack version. So perhaps MechWarrior 2 Battlepack Edition is 8-bit It has same style to MechWarrior 2 Pentium Edition. So that should be 8-bit as well. And since CD Titanium Trilogy had 16-bit folder, thus …

Compatibility layers will always have an overhead. I disagree for the most part. Compatibility layers, as what I experienced is just a small tweak to the default experience. Windows doesn't usually emulate old programs in software, it just changes what is needes according to the situation. Its a …
