Indiana Jones The Desktop Adventures / Yoda Stories clone?
Posted on 2024-05-12, 19:04
So I was remembering those games. Indiana Jones was fine, but Yoda Stories felt "wrong". So I was wondering if there was any modern game like this: - Short (less than an hour) adventures. - Random generated maps and objectives. - Playable in a Window. Any idea? (Yes, I know that Indiana Jones can be …

So it seems that they included (parts of) Microsoft C and Macro Assembler... does that mean that they are freeware? Did they released as complete free products before?

- Microsoft Works 4.0 if you want to make some documents. - Operation: Inner Space, arguably the best game that runs on Windows 3.1. - Total Commander, as a replacement of File Explorer. - Some libraries like WinG, Video for Windows... the usual stuff.
Re: NVME partioning advice
Posted on 2024-04-13, 08:41
Is under provisioning still a thing? I mean, when SSDs first came, it was recommended to partition less (about 5% or 10% less) of total capacity, to delay wear. I don't think it makes much sense unless your disks are almost filled up, and that's not a desirable thing even on regular mechanical …

Has anyone capped RAM on a 386? I mean, until that point it was feasible to cap a processor (1Mb on a 8086, 16Mb on a 80286) but a 386 could address 4Gb of RAM. Did anyone build a mainboard capable or addressing 4Gb for 386 CPUs?
Re: Clonezilla - Motivation and quick tutorial
Posted on 2024-03-07, 05:52
The worst parts about Clonezilla are: - The inability to restore in smaller disks (even if it isn't 100% full). That's a pain in the ass when you're trying to restore a 120Gb SSD image onto another 120Gb SSD disk... and you discover that the new disk is a few blocks smaller than the old one. - It's …
Re: Nostalgia for old Graphics Programs?
Posted on 2024-02-24, 08:45
Well, these are my picks: Print Master (the original, CGA, almost no printers to choose from): A novelty program that let you print one sheet banners, probably the first graphics program that I used on a PC. For a nostalgic overdose, I recommend using it with a dot matrix printer. Two things to note …

Some old MS-DOS (I remember it from an Amstrad PC-1512 floppies, but that was MS-DOS 3.20) does NOT have the keyb comand. They have a keyb xx command for every language supported. So it would be keybuk (UK keyboard), keybsp (spanish), keybit (italian)... Do a dir keyb*.* to find which ones are …

AFAIR the editor kept the video mode when launched, so you could set 80*43 on command line and then launch Turbo Pascal. I didn't like 80*43 nor 80*50, because: - They are graphic modes, and writing text was slow in my VGA. - The text is very small and less readable. If I were to use a non standard …
Re: Amazon price sorting bugged?

Most stores do the sorting fine... and then they insert the promoted articles. So, in the end, the only thing they do reliably is sinking the relevant results.

I thought that I could configure it using something like "file=\\x.x.x.x\print", but sadly that printer has no SMB support. Is there any means to dump directly data to …
