Furan, did you ever check this out? The .dll files/references can be downloaded from here: http://cd.textfiles.com/pcgamer/pcgamer014/CYBERSPD/RMORPH/RL/ Looks to be one file for integer and one for float as with CGL. I believe this is the developers either testing or implementing support for the …

I was able to find a driver. So, I have a trick I use on archive.org, for vendor websites - I will put a /* at the end, and then look at all of their .zip files/.exe files that have been archived. So if you go to this URL: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.3dlabs.com/* and type ".zip" (no …

I'm asking this, because I've been toying with the idea of developing a USB parallel port adapter that would support bit banging. The motivation for such a project is the fact that USB parallel adapters that you can find on-line don't expose low-level access to the parallel ports, but instead allow …

So yeah, VOGONS colours. I know it's hard to see because it's so camouflaged with the rest of the webpage colour scheme, but look and it's there :P Hah! I don't remember when the purple colors were adopted any more, but many years ago. (EDIT: The Wayback Machine tells me sometime between 2003-11-18 …

Before forums there was Usenet. I got a laugh when someone on this forum linked to one of my ancient Usenet posts. The Google Groups USENET archive provides a VOGONS-like forum/messageboard interface to USENET. Which means there's young nerds out there on Google Groups who are quoting messages from …

I haven't troubleshooted it yet but maybe you are having …

Is there a way to create a table in the forum ? ( I feel like a bit of a moron pasting it in like that ) There is/was a BBCode "table" tag, but I don't think our version of the forum software allows for it. People have used "CodeBlocks" (as some people call it) though. Example: https://www.vogons. …

If you have something to say about that thread? I didn't say it was a rule violation, I said it was not okay. (The abandonware link was definitely a rule violation though.) You want to bump a decade old thread? Well, It's very simple what to do instead: 1. CREATE a new thread. 2. In the first post …
