Re: What game are you playing now?

I noticed Dishonoured in my Steam list the other day and decided to give it a go – I bought it on release and played through the tutorial, but got distracted and forgot all about it. It’s a beautifully crafted game – visually stunning and the gameplay / story are a cut above so far. I’m doing the …

Well I've given the CD version a spin over the last couple of days and as much as I love the floppy version, I gotta say that MK CD comes out on top. Why haven't I heard about this sooner?? The CD version's FX are bloody excellent and the smoother animations + fast pace are a major plus. I bought it …

Very interesting thanks lads, I'll have to try out the CD version. The FM is a highlight for me though so I won't stray far from the floppy version I'm betting. From memory there's a 'SB16 patch' available for the floppy version - do you guys know anything about that? I applied it once but it slowed …

Tested out a daughterboard tonight, the AdMOS Adwave32S. (Photo and links in a previous post above.) This is a budget wavetable DB that uses the same AdMOS QDSP QS1000 synth onboard the WaveMaster 64FGP. This DB is often found attached with a Diamond Monster Sound M80 PCI card, and there is a …

There's a rumor that the MPU-401 on the VIVO can do intelligent mode. I myself haven't tested it. I seem to recall from the SSINIT program that there is a check box for MT-32, but I haven't experimented with it (it doesn't appear on the Opus' SSINIT). I bought a Soundscape once based on that rumour …

Great thread this, thanks for your efforts. I have a thing for these all in one cards, and find the whole GM thing quite fascinating - so many interpretations of the same song depending on the capabilities of the hardware. And for all the effort went into developing the large range of GM chipsets …

"Women do this", "women like that". They're just people; they come in the same miriad flavours that men do and have the same likes / dislikes / fears / quirks. It's not always easy to remember that I know, but in my experience they're no better equiped to navigate the confusion and excitement of …

Re: What makes real hardware.. "real"?

Yar I just like playing with the hardware - it's not just a means to an end. I do game on my old stuff too but getting the hardware just so is at least 50% of the fun, if not more. I'm always looking for an excuse to break out the screwdrivers and old hardware provides endless opportunities for …

I’ve recently picked up my saved game in Fallout New Vegas after a few months off. I was about 40 hours in and lost interest because the quests that took me out into the waste were drying up, and I wasn’t finding the New Vegas strip to be as compelling. The open wasteland really works for me in this …

Yeah I'd argue that people who work their buns off to create content and then offer it up to the world for free should be allowed to offer it however they bloody well choose. And going on to compare Kris' stuff to terrorist vids and porno in an attempt to suggest otherwise is just offensive.
