Goldeneye X has been updated!
Posted on 2014-03-11, 20:29
[ Mods, please delete this if the announcement of new (well, hacked old) console games isn't right for this forum ] Goldeneye X, the project to bring the gameplay from Goldeneye to the Perfect Dark engine, has been updated to version 0.5c. If you've never heard of it before, it's a mod (hack) of the …
Re: Aliens vs. Predator Gold

I thought of the xbox version the other day actually. Last time I ran the code on the xbox, I wasn't getting any rendering anymore so I think it's either horribly broken or there's something simple. If there's still people interested though, I should make an effort to get it working again. Please …
Re: Ever wish something had replaced the floppy beside CDs?
Posted on 2014-01-29, 15:59
I'm glad media in general are on the way out. Downloading and storing is what I like. Hence my passion for Steam and GOG.com. Yes and no. For the PC yes (especially the brilliant GOG, as I hate DRM), but for consoles not so much, as (a) with a PC you can always add a new hard drive or replace an …
Re: Ever wish something had replaced the floppy beside CDs?

I agree that CD/DVDs aren't as ideal as we were led to believe - I have a lot of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs dating back from the late 90s (just CD-Rs for the first few years, obviously) that I used as system and data backups, since we were led to believe that (if properly looked after) this media would last a …

Sirlemonhead, did you ever get around to updating the XBox port you did? If not, then please consider it, as there are still a few (few but loyal) XBox fans who'd love to see an updated version of AvP on the ol' XBox. But if you don't have the time then thanks for the great work you've already done …
How I Would Have Ended BioShock (brilliant!)
Posted on 2014-01-21, 18:28
The 2008 first person shooter, Bioshock (PC, XBox 360, PS3), was/is popular with a lot of people, but I doubt anyone would say it's consistent in it's quality. After a certain point in the game, it does go downhill, and the end battle is bad and betrays the atmosphere and feel of the game. But …

Saints Row The Third. Thanks. I assumed it was a much older game, what with this topic being about 3DFX (I'm not well up on PC graphics cards!). I do have Saint's Row 3 (I bought the GOTY edition a while back), but haven't played it past the first few missions (I remember you couldn't go into first …

What game is that screenshot from, the one under Quake 3 (with the buggy waiting at the traffic lights), please? I don't recognise it.
Re: I will not miss the floppy disk..
Posted on 2013-11-24, 22:09
Floppy drives, like VHS and audio cassettes, are a form of technology I won't miss. I miss vinyl records to a degree, though CD's are better (and I know some people claim records sound better, but not me, I just like the look and size of LPs, and the way they crackled slightly just before they began …
Re: What new console will you be buying this holiday season?
Posted on 2013-11-18, 16:28
you do need a network adapter if you want to run the games from a hard drive, as the hard drive connects to the network card. Fiddlesticks! I was not aware of that requirement. Where can I find one of those at this point? There's one over here , but it's forty bucks. (Curiously, I see they also …

There's an explanation of Unreal Tournament's timing problems at http://utgl.unrealadmin.org/ACE/Timing.txt where someone calling him/herself AnthraX goes into detail about how UT measures the time elapsed, how it fails on modern systems, and how to fix the problems. I'll copy and paste the …
Re: Impressive videogame AI

If today's in-game graphics were at the same standard as today's in-game artificial intelligence, then games would be monochromatic, in a very low resolution with huge (and rectangular, not square) pixel, with the letter X being your in-game character, minus signs for bullets (even if the 'bullets' …
Re: Can't change to 256 Colors on Windows 95

Sorry, I can't help, but I have to ask, when did (and how) it become possible to run Windows 95 under DOSBox? I thought DOSBox didn't emulate something(s) that Windows needed to boot?

So, how do you get the PS2 to boot from a USB stick in the first place? If you mean during the initial install of Open PS2 Loader (and Free McBoot, if you choose to use that too) then that's the only difficult part (well, not 'difficult', but the only part when you need something that's not …
Re: When will laptop batteries get better?

I read an article about Samsung and their phones. They said thinner sold better than chunkier with more battery life... Sad reality.. Yes. Although with phones there is some argument to make them thinner, as ideally a phone should fit comfortably in your pocket, and for pockets to look good (if …
Re: When will laptop batteries get better?
Posted on 2013-11-06, 15:37
It is pointless (to me, and most people, I imagine) that so many modern laptops try to be wafer thin, even at the cost of a decent keyboard (which is vital for a good typist). The first laptop I had was in the late 90s, a Toshiba Satellie Pro, which was quite chunky when compared to today's laptops, …
When will laptop batteries get better?
Posted on 2013-11-06, 02:49
Why is it that laptop batteries have stayed at the same capacity (as in hours per discharge) for the past couple of decades, at least as far as I can see? Typically they seem to last for a maximum of six hours (give or take an hour or two), depending on what you're doing with the laptop, and it just …

Putting aside the fact that one should never buy a console at launch , don't we all already have dozens upon dozens of games we've legally purchased but haven't played yet? Yep :happy: . I have lots of games for my six consoles and PC that I've yet to try, plus many favourites that I love playing …
