Same here. :) I've even got cobbled-together systems spanning the eras from a 486/120 to a PIII 500 with an ATI Rage Fury... Late DOS, Win3.1/95 transitional, late Win95/98. Some of that stuff, especially the games that really pushed the hardware when it was released, just don't run right with emulators. And for some of…
there is a link in post 486 and it has been reported by other press that it is 'required' to have a internet connection so the box can automatically connect to microsoft when ever it wants and send them information. you can debate what kind of information might be collected. but you can not argue that the device is not a…
[SORRY, THIS POST MODERATED TO IMPROVE PAGE SPEED. READ FIRST POST] Hey I finished my Phurba Dagger the other day. I took the time to make a full presentation of the prop on Artstation. The metal needs more patina I guess ? I did the sculpt on ZBrush, the retopo on 3DS max, the baking/rendering on Marmoset and the texture…
OK I haven't tried running firefox on a 486 but then why would I want to? Opera crashes like crazy on my rigs. IE in all it's forms clogs my computer with various infections bogging it down eventually requiring a reboot and more importantly a good malware cleaning at least once a night. With firefox I really only have to…
[ QUOTE ] It's already playable with the Geforce2 I have, perhaps the gffx makes d3 performance worse? I've also heard horror stories of low framerates in Farcry with the card as well, making it seem like the GF2 beats the GFFX in performance. [/ QUOTE ] HELLO wake up, GF2 has no shader support so it doesnt do normal maps…
Hmm I played both the normal and the expansionpack till the end on Linux. No problems with Doom3 at all. Try looking in one of the many Linuxmessageboards (exspecially those specific for Suse) for help. What soundcard do you have? I think there are problems with non Creative soundcards that cause it to crash during…
Really i want to hear what sorts of games you wish were being made , what genres are forgotten , are you like so many others getting tired of copycat FPS , RTS and sport games .... with the odd RPG thrown in ... I find that more and more now days im going back to try and find old games i enjoyed playing .. often on really…
sorry i think all those distros recommendations are sort of the main desktop distros so the resource usage out of the box will be not much different from windows. the thing about linux is that you can run a desktop on an old 486 with 64mb of ram. so it definitely can go much lower in resource usage then windows. but you…
Seven years ago today I was 26 and about to start a masters degree in science, majoring in criminal psychology. I had spent the prior six months researching a novel, which I only ever got 27,000 words into, and I was playing Discworld on my Compaq Contura Aero 486/33 notebook. Seven years ago from this year as a whole I…
