Re speculative execution, I guess we know now :P https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4072698/windows-server-guidance-to-protect-against-the-speculative-execution So that website says this: In addition to installing the January security update, a processor microcode update is required. This …

Yeah Spectre affects ALL CPUs (including ARM) since 1995. If read descriptions that is a SCARY one. Side effects for speculative execution? Damn, why did no-one think that is a bad idea? https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/01/04/0524234/google-says-almost-all-cpus-since-1995-vulnerable-to-meltdown- …
Re: How to slow down real-time
Posted on 2017-12-31, 13:00
Another idea (to think outside the box so to speak) is rather than slow down the emulator, slow down the host machine. This way the emulator will not be able to keep up. It is inconvenient as it requires a reboot but it can work.
Re: How to slow down real-time

Yeah, you would think such a simple thing as slowing down (or even speeding up) would be a no brainer once you have emulators. But in our quests as emulator writers to pursue perfection we did not have time to add such a feature. To answer your question, Superfury put it all right. However for most …

16-bit compilers however have stopped development in the early 90s, so most tools never evolved beyond what you would use in the era of the 486. The only 'modern' 16-bit compiler I know of is OpenWatcom. That is true, however I did a bit of research and it seems you can squeeze (although maybe not …

Not gear, but I bought a (very large) new house so I will have a large dedicated room to my "museum". Unpacking will take a while, I will post pictures when I have the computers up.
Re: Do any of you know of a good website/archive of PC Games Catalogs?

Don't get me wrong, any effort you put into finding more information about the games is welcome! Unfortunately, back to the point, I do not know of any archives, however if I find anything, I will mention it here to be of help to you.

Why can't you use MobyGames? You can filter by platform and year. It is fairly complete. That's not the point. The point is artwork, and ads, and history, and preserving it all, and making it all accesible from one location. Yes that one location is called mobygames.com. Catalogues are only going …

I personally don't like vcfed as much because there was (not sure if it's still there anymore) a snobbish sentiment of what constitutes 'vintage'. It is not snobbish. You just happen to not agree with it, that does not make it snobbish. I happen to agree with them that Pentium 4 is NOT vintage, …
