Re: XBOX 360 for $299, Games for $59.99

I think a lot of the reason that cases are metallic is for RF shielding (for both emitted and received interference). It also serves as a grounding point, although I don't think most devices depend on that as I've seen plastic cases before. My roommate once had a clear acrylic case, but it sucked …

eL: By your avatar I thought you might be French, but I guess you'd then be named Le_PuSHeR instead... ;) Zup's avatar looks very Spanish and/or Latin... Something about the round shape and bright colors I guess... All more proof of my American ignorance I suppose. *ramble ramble*...Time for bed... …

If you just need to transfer files, I remember that that version of DOS comes with a utility called something like Interlink that lets you use a parallel cable to transfer files between two computers. I think one of them has to run a Interlink server utility (which is unfortunate because it makes …

Is it case temps or CPU temps or both that go way up with the case closed? My recommendation: - Fans fans fans! Put fans on the front, back, and (if possible) top, with all fans blowing in (except the top fan which should vent the hot heat upwards). - Use aftermarket thermal grease on your CPU and …

It depends on what you mean. It won't allow you to install and run 16-bit DOS or Windows apps natively in XP 64 because DOSBox actually emulates a PC running DOS. DOSBox can (or will - I don't know if it's been tested) run fine on 64-bit platforms and will allow you to run 16-bit DOS applications …

I'm trying it now... Pretty mixed results. Low brasses and synth sounds (of course) sound good, drums sound decent. Complex songs of course cause note clipping. Volume balance of some instruments seems off, with some instruments totally overpowering others. Drums are pretty good, but I think that MT …

Assuming you have both EXE files in the directory c:\mydir, you should be able to add that dir to the path variable, like so: set path=c:\mydir Then whenever you try to run sb, DOSBox will first check the current directory, then any directories in the path. You can put multiple directories in the …

Every good forum needs a "where are you from" thread. This one is even better because it's a poll. 😎 Apologies in advance for being an ignorant American if I leave out your neck of the woods. Feel free to post more specific locations (or not).

By SDL version of Marathon do you mean Aleph One? I tried it last week and it was pretty terrible. The gameplay and graphics are okay, but the fadeouts are wacked and you can't return to your game in progress from the menu (very annoying when trying to make minor mouse sensitivity or keyboard …
