Re: Is Vista now Retro

Posted on 2017-07-23, 05:47

I found my dad's old copy of Vista still in its retail box in his desk the other day. I was like, "Hey dad, look- Vista." The face he made was equivalent to eating a straight slice of lemon rind. He hates Vista. I had to help him upgrade to 7 back when it came out. I don't get the hate on Vista. …

Re: BFG Technologies FX5900 Ultra Artifacting

Posted on 2017-07-22, 01:12

I have a similar FX5900 card in my old AMD Barton tower- currently running Lubuntu on it. I can't remember ever having artifacts on the thing, but the fan did die pretty early on in its lifetime. The OS would shut down when I had XP installed because the temps would nearly fry the card. I used to …

Re: Simmconn AWE64 Adapter

If you lived in USA I'd send you my awe64 gold for testing and a bag of various ram chips. But.. being so far over there where you are, international shipping would probably end up being almost double the market price of the parts. Sadly not a viable option.. :/ Same here. I live in the US as well, …

Re: A perfect MT-32 rig?

Posted on 2017-07-22, 00:53

I've become somewhat lazy as of late. I moved my Roland MT-32 and SC-88 to my printer shelves (I have a vertical stacking, plate glass desk) and plugged them into a USB MIDI adapter to my modern desktop. Now I'm running games like Fate of Atlantis and Monkey Island through SCUMMVM just for the sake …

Lately, I've been playing these: Alkalabeth/"Ultima 0," via GoG (my original Ultima Collection CD version simply *will not* run properly on my laptop through DosBox for whatever reason...) Ultima 1, when I'm frustrated with the former^ Mega Man X collection, GameCube, with official Nintendo …

The nicest forums I've ever visited on the entire internets (with friendly peoples and posts and stuff): -DMCTalk (DeLorean forum) -Vogons "Neutral Good" forums: -GameFaqs, haven't been on there in a long while though -Bioware, neither trolled nor, brightly greeted with a smile The worst forums with …

Been playing the non-gpu-accelerated, GoG/DOS version of TIE-Fighter, with genuine Roland MT-32 music. I have it on my modern PC, but have the Roland jacked into my USB MIDI adapter. *bwoh-ba-ba-badada-bum-bup, bwoh-ba-ba-badada-bum-bup* lol "You will fly the TIE-Fighter designated Alpha 1. You will …

Kleenex brand CD-R. Now with the refreshing scent of lilacs. :lol: I do not understand the bizarre flower motif on Taiyo Yuden's products. I guess it's a Japanese thing. This looks like a box of tissues. yuden.jpg Even stranger is that it's apparently one of the best brands. I've been carrying …

I haven't posted in forever. I miss this board. I need to log in more often. Life, family, work, etc. happen. But I still have the beige retro OptiPlex Gs.

Re: to 486 or not to 486

call me crazy, but $70 is a bit steep. The highlights of the list are the soundcard and the vlb scsi card. The board is good, but would sit unused on my shelf like the nine button on a microwave... Personal moment of mad impetuosity- I used the 9 button on the breakroom microwave this morning at …
