Sony succesfully sued Bleem out of bussiness...
Granted you need a win98 cd to get this sucker running (Which means they have to still buy windows from Microsoft.)
but conversly, it means more people like my mother could potentially use it as they would then still be able to use their old win apps.
Now all we need is to run WinLin with a Unix emulator running a Mac Emulator running...
This is just another nail in the coffin of system that died way too fast. The homebrew scene has been a wonderful source of continual innovation.
Despite what the troll said above, there are some of us who still play some classic DC games. It has so many titles that are absolutely wonderful that were all but completely ignored by the mainstream buyers. (Bangai-o anyone?)
Oh well, I still have four controllers for some Bomberman/Chu Chu Rocket fun.
I will never again in my life program in Assembly (Too much peeking and poking for my tastes.)
But still a very intersting read.
It finally answered a question I'd been wondering. Namely, why is it the 2600 seems to be able to display a lot more colors then the NES/Master System.
But apprently if it's drawing each line individually, as it only has one [scan] line of video memory. It would only have to hold that one palete in memory for that moment. Intersting.
I would like to point at that Eternal Darkness spent five years in development and was AWESOME.
So... it might be pretty cool.
Maybe...?
I do think it would be pretty interesting if they released several Versions of the software like they did with Lameduke.

Just so you could see the progression through the years.
I, for one, am glad to see that something is being down about the more unscrupulous internet advertisors.
Of course, using Opera to stop pop-ups and a little bit of control of the windows Hosts files (To block ad sites from even being connected to) means I haven't seen that annoying Ape in months, or any of the "You computer could be infected with a virus/not optimized/my GOD, why aren't you using our POS program???"
Nesticle allowed you to edit the tiles WAY back in 98. I had lots of fun back then, editing my old NES games to do goofy things like have the guys in Kung Fu throw spoons at you.
I'd give Nesticle a look. It may be considered outdated as a dos app'. But it's still the original king.
There was no "pro" version of the Mach64, one processor Oh yes, I only imagined it when my parents got a POS Acer with one of those Cards and I helped install windows 98 on it and spent hours trying to find that specific driver.
This guy testing a game imagined it...

Do a usenet search, there are hundreds of people who have them. It was packed into some of the Acer computers. It's not that common, and Acer handled the drivers.
SQL network errors. do you have any idea what SQL even stands for? Of course not, because it has nothing to do with a network. But then again, you are talking out of your ass anyway so what do you care? "Structured Query Language"
I'm referring to Microsoft Sql specifically, you know the Database application that is generally run across a network.
I suppose there are a few people that use SQL in some kind of strange stand alone system, but they're rare. 99% of them are going to use across a network.
You've got to be about the rudest flamer I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. I expressed a dislike of ATI drivers. In truth I've NEVER owned an Ati or an Nvidia card, but I've helped a lot of people get both of them working with their new Xp computers (Because Microsoft issued drivers are very buggy). Nvidia wins HANDS DOWN for drivers. This hardly makes me a "fan boy." At home I'm still using my old Voodoo3 board because it's great for 2-d and I rarely have time to play computer games. When I have money [and time] for a new video card I may end up getting an Ati, but it all depends on who will give me the most [reliable] bang for my buck. I'm tempted to retort with an Ad Hominem attack, but I won't stoop to your level.
Fan boy? Hardly. I just find that Ati's naming convention to be idiotic as hell. What's wrong with just doing a sequential series? Yes, ATI is FINALLY doing this with their Radeon series.
But am I the only one that sees it as incredibly stupid that Mach 64 pro, Mach Pro 64 and 64 Mach Pro are three seperate cards with three seperate drivers? (Basically dependent on if you bought a Dell, Gateway)
My work PC has an ATI rage 128 (Don't even get me started on how many variants there are on that name...) and this card has some of the most disgustingly slow OpenGl performance I've ever seen. (Yes, I realize that this is a card built for business and not play, but it's just sad.)
I'm not a fanboy, I just Nvidia makes some damn nice drivers.
Installing a driver isn't so tough, try debugging SQL network errors, then we'll talk.
It's pretty obvious who the fanboy is.
Yes and no.
The eye doesn't poll in the same way a camera does (I'm still trying to figure it out exactly through some not so scientific tests.)
When you're playing a game, and it drops from 60fps to 45fps, you can notice the difference. It's somehow, less smooth. It seems 60 is the upper limit, because if the framerate drops from 90fps to 60fps it doesn't like a smidgen different.
I miss 3dfx...
Anyway, who cares if they inflate their scores? Companies have been doing this for years! Intel's done it numerous times (Reverse engineering benchmark programs to get the best score for FPO's...).
I would choose Nvidia over Ati for one simple reason, have you ever tried to get a driver for an ATI card? AUGH! Nvidia, one driver set, one download.
Ati, There are drivers where the
Ati Mach 64 pro is a DIFFERENT driver then the
Ati Mach Pro 64.
Plus, half the time when you go to install the driver you have to uninstall the driver, boot to VGA mode, then install it. Until ATI gets their driver act together, they'll always be second class.
Too bad Dell feels like slapping the cheapest ATI's into computers they can get.
IF I were one of the students, I'd open a website called www.FtheRIAA.com and raise some funds to screw them over. Then I'd leave some flaming poo on their door stop...
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe it'll be like talking on a burrito?
Darn. I was hpinh a judge would order Infinium to produce an actual machine....
I know, but they're still using reverse egineered codeing of windows.
Microsoft has no basis for the case and not much of a chance of winning.
But that wouldn't stop them from tying up the company in expensive legal battles.
Why Microsoft hasn't sued them out of bussiness?
