I mean, I have no problem in playing arcade style Need For Speed like I did in the past. It's obviously fun to forget for a minute that it's not intended to be realistic or a sim. It's fun, it's a great game when you want something different. I myself have NFS SE II installed here. Even Daytona USA, …

Calling any Codemasters game a proper simulation is criminal.. I guess it depends on your experiences and perspective. F1 2018 and DiRT Rally are both extremely simmy to me. I would consider them "proper simulations". Or maybe I'm just a criminal. Here, Codemasters F1 2010 in the wet. See how …

I can't deny they (Codemasters) do a good job in reproducing all details of cars, drivers and tracks, but when it comes to physics and AI, they're utterly terrible. As of now, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series AI is the best of any racing game ever. With regards to the damage model, iRacing has the …

Likely different storage controller. Mabye see if qemu can support the same model as vmware before doing any of the below. You can add drivers via dpinst and then do a sysprep or revert back to IDE and then do the conversion or just convert and the copy the needed drivers to the appropriate …

The thing about Codemasters....they've always wanted to make "Simulators", so it's not surprising that it's very non-arcade (though ironically, their earliest "simulator" series titles are pretty arcadey due to C64 hardware limitations) All Codemasters racing games are very arcadey. Including GRiD. …

Black one does look great, might be even better without the red background or a version with the original MS-DOS colors; the 3D feel looks good. When I have some time I might try to do a version for macOS Big Sur... the iOS icon look has never got me anyway, they are all the same. Current icons …

FIFA 21 removing a lot of goal celebrations considered "toxic" by the new crying generation of players that don't know how to accept a defeat in a game... Come on... I've even heard someone call Duke Nukem 3D a toxic game. Oh, how absurd this is... Soon we will not be allowed to celebrate a goal in …

My 20 cents. I agree with hwh, jo22, dr_st and kolderman. These companies today just aren’t what they used to be. Today, they don’t treat their long time customers the same way they used to. They want to push their forced updates into our throats, and grab our data. They just want us to buy their …

Anyone knows how can I turn two VMware VMs into usable QEMU virtual machines? Apart of converting VMDK to qcow2 or img (which I know how to), but I can't figure out why Windows XP SP3 doesn't boot when I try the QEMU route.

Just did some classic racing tonight. Fired up my Windows 98 SE VM on my iPad, courtesy of UTMapp, started Grand Prix 3. I chose to drive the Williams Mecachrome at Silverstone. Qualified P5 and won the race. Nice memories from playing that game as a kid. And no need of these so called modern tricks …
