...why the tracker format isn't a definitive for the sound itself. I've done .mods that sound like snes music (because they were snes music :P) you probably want a ST-XX soundfont of all the most common samples used. There was this SNES emulator I used once back in the stone ages that optionally …

Yea the SR-2, the best, most over engineered (consumer) motherboard ever made! I seriously doubt we will ever see a greater achievement when it comes to motherboard design. I even have a complete spare SR-2 system with X5650s @4.4 and another spare SR-2 motherboard safe in its box, I even have two …

I've always thought that VMWare have been missing an opportunity to make some quick cash: offer a cheap virtualization solution based off their existing codebase, but tuned for use with old games (fullscreen scaling options, changing host resolution, etc), with improved Win 9x video support, and …

If it's a Number Nine this should be written clearly on the board. #9 didn't make any Radeon cards to my knowledge. The latest cards they made had Savage4 or TNT2-M64 chips. Those were the only #9 cards that might have DVI connectors. Yeah, that's the only weird bit to me too. So yeah, I figure it …

Yep, there's no issue on sharing this file since POV-RAY has always been free software to the best of my knowledge. On the other hand, what Jepael said is right: there's little need for it since POV-RAY does a great job of hosting their own archives. You can find many files related to POV-RAY 2.1 …

I think it's great, makes that unique CRT post-process stuff legally usable in many GPL emulators :) There's more in store for that, we're using a new multi-platform renderer that unifies OpenGL/Direct3D9-12(WIP)/(the new) Metal/etc. under one interface. https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx It's gonna …

So GPL2 means, no way to put it on the Apple App Store in theory... From what I understand, Apple App Store is not permitted - though Apple is not so strict in enforcing it - key trigger for them is if enough people complain about illegal usage of GPL code in a closed-source app. And if the app …
