Living near a local BBS helped me try the 1.0 shareware release weeks before it turned 1994. Subsequently, it triggered a race to upgrade to a better 486.... It wasn't until 1.2 when I started to REALLY hear about it through word of mouth. "DID YOU PLAY NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY!!!"

Re: Can I upgrade to MMX? (Dell Optiplex GXi)

But will it be worth the trouble? MMX was a bit of a crashed hype train early on, you'd make better use of a Pentium II for MMX-based games instead. And finally it's a Dell, which can easily have that electric frying smell...
Re: What is PowerVR Insider SDK and what does it do?

Correct - it has nothing to do with SGL but rather their SGX mobile/embedded stuff. PowerVR gave up the PC market around 2002 and headed for MOBILE DOMINANCE with no looking back

The old method of having a inverted normal shell of black and an environment map blended on as popularized by Jet Grind Radio in 2000, as opposed to some newer cubemap, lighting or edge detection shader-based methods.

I thought about using the Quake III Team Arena menu system to do something (for myself) - video test pages. Why didn't I think of this earlier? This page should expose the filtering with the 50% dither pattern. http://leileilol.mancubus.net/crap/diag2.png 1 layer, 2 layers, 4 layers, 8 layers. …

Re: TNT2-M64 or Radeon 7200 SDR for Win98?
Posted on 2014-01-19, 02:59
Radeon = no paletted textures or table fog. TNT2 = no paletted textures. Also in terms of 16-bit color, TNT2 has some fake-ish patterned dithering (with a highly noticable pattern), and the Radeon has options for either error diffusion or ordered dithering.

If using Svideo/composite try to use a desktop resolution of 720x480 (if you can) and turn off flicker reduction and just use the Yadif deinterlacer for videos. It's what i've done for my own. With some chipsets (3dfx) it can get really sharp . (Also who makes a shortcut to Day of the Tentacle and …

I've broke my habit of visiting Youtube in general since the unskippable forced Google+ changes, so there won't be a new capture video. Sorry.
