That is an epic post to immortalize the early days of PC gaming. I especially loved the intermission! Little did Drake know he was in the presence of two autoexec Zen masters that had reached a new plane of himem enlightenment. We sure learned a lot about the inter-workings of the x86 architecture b...

Nice PC Ender! I'd like to join you in the AMD club again soon. As of now I'm rocking twinsies with J3RK on an I7-4790K, which is probably my favorite computer I've ever owned. Even with a GTX770 it still plays pretty much anything I attempt to play these days, which isn't much (as you all pretty mu...

Very interesting. Unfortunately it appears it's by design. https://community.amd.com/thread/242205 "This is an expected result. Client workloads do very little pure writing, so the CCD/IOD link is 32B/cycle while reading and 16B/cycle for writing. This allowed us to save power and area inside the pa...

Awesome that you like Smooth McGroove, he does a mean Megaman too!

What about Doctor Mix?

There he is! Welcome back!

Place holder for Kevin's cell phone archives. This thread has conjured some fun memories. Said car phone still exists! I used it after J3rk got his first "mobile" phone, and I found it a few months ago in a box in my parents garage (with a 40MB RLE HDD from my old 286). I'd definitely like to mentio...

The way I understand it, and maybe J3rk can elaborate, is that the FGPA MiSTer is emulating the game system via hardware, vs software emulation which you would find on your windows pc. The hardware emulator is therefore more efficient and you get a truer experience. The con is that it's expensive. A...

Yes, Ironsword, a true classic. Yes, I don't believe I've ever finished that one, however I do agree we got close together. I owned the actual cart, so we may have even played it on actual hardware too! Might try to see what I could do with savestates. I'll definitely need something to equalize age ...

Soulcalibur actually plays almost perfect on the Pi 4 + too! I forgot how much I love this game!

I also love me some Wizards and Warriors. Gonna have to play me that next, too.

I've "fixed" the problem. I've disabled iOS "Smart Punctuation"

I think I found a new bug, apparently these giant quotes are also "smart punctuation"

I think you should call your script Saenz-Wavez

^ That right there is hilarious!

Nice, glad to see this thread! Go School! goschool.jpg So I'm definitely having trouble with arcade emulation. I tried to put a few arcade roms on the Lakka, but it failed to match anything in the rom database for the scan. At first I thought it was due to the age of my 2008 [J3RK's EMU Folder]TM, b...

Broccoli really goes well with Alfredo ! Especially aldente broccoli!

Seems to be doing something, Washington is now only the 8th most infected state in the union.

Who doesn't already have Psychonauts, amiright?

Re: Lakka. I had it running on my 2013 Zotac Z-Box but it didn't run very well. I've heard that all the devs are optimize for ARM/Pi and x86 doesn't get much love. I switched to Pi 4+ and it's much faster. Still a bit rough (you have to pair bluetooth controllers over SSH), but it's getting better e...

Every pictorial post in this thread makes my salival guns go pew pew pew!

Farmed Nettles... that's next level right there!
Does cooking neutralize the toxins?

All this food looks amazing !

Now I want spaghetti! That basil really makes it look appetizing!

As for the rice, here is that hack I was talking about: https://www.kitchenkonfidence.com/2015/ ... like-pasta

I've actually been messing around with Lakka, an all in one emulation package. "Lakka is the official Linux distribution of RetroArch and the libretro ecosystem." http://www.lakka.tv/ I have Lakka running on my Raspberry Pi 4 + 4GB, and I must say I'm rather impressed. I'm currently playing Tony Haw...

Spaghetti is the one thing I could eat for 5 days in a row too!

Go Enderzero! Pulling off baking substitution hacks!

Speaking of hacks, that's 1.5 cups of rice in 4 quarts of water! Rice cooked like, well... spaghetti! Best rice I've ever made!

Long time eater, first time cooker!

I love Powershell! Just found its super easy to check a MD5 hash, even over a UNC path:

Awesome thanks Murray I definitely need to check these out!

I've "fixed" the problem. I've disabled iOS "Smart Punctuation"

Maybe we should list all the bugs we find here? Seems like there is an issue with Safari iOS and the apostrophe. I’m thinking I’ve narrowed it down to that at least “I think” so. It’s inserting smart / typographers / curly quotes instead of straight quotes Chrome for iOS too... 45B1D7E5-D885-4B64-89...

Cool track, very nice! Also cool that you can embed Soundcloud into BBcode!

Westworld - Season 3

I've actually not had an alcohol based drink since 01/01/2020... I did the dry January challenge on a whim, and just kept going. I might as well keep going at this point for the immune system benefits.

That's an awesome thing that you made there in Python!
