It was a fun video, yeah. I think my favourite part of stories like this is trying to see if I can guess what the problem ended up being before it gets revealed in the actual vid. Though what a strange error to occur. A first time player of San Andres wouldn't even know it happened, since the ...

https://youtu.be/-IjQQWp5_NI Just watched the new vid and I have some thoughts. As genuinely cool and technically impressive as these kinds of fan projects are, I'm bothered by the ways people tend to talk about stuff like this; and some of that was visible in the way Matt described them, as well ...

Not in a million years.

Disregarding the intrusive adware and spyware, my PC doesn't meet the inflated minimum specs for the OS. Though I'll admit it was tempting to go with it after a bunch of the stuff I tried to do with Linux didn't work.

I was unlucky enough to grow up with Simpsons Road Rage instead of Hit and Run so my life was basically ruined from the start.

Shocked this doesn't exist yet. Or if it does, I certainly couldn't find it. Post about games. Games you're playing, games you have played, games you like, dislike, game design ideas you're interested in, whatever. Casual thread for vidya talk. I'll start. Been slowly picking away at Dragon Quest ...

System Shock is the only game I play using DOSBox tbh. Using the GOG CD DOS release.

Now that is a first... I assume that the DOSBox-X build you used was linked to SDL1? It is a real old library (like, back in the 9x days) that was only "maintained" via a compatibility layer with SDL2 (that is now also under maintenance since the release of SDL3) and thus are not behaving well with ...

As you may or may not be aware, many games in the last few years have been modified to run on the original Xbox to output in the (otherwise rarely used) 720p mode. Usually, this requires also installing an extra 64mb worth of RAM chips into your system, but it's possible and pretty cool. You can ...

For DOS games, using forks like DOSBox-X and DOSBox Pure Unleashed are better than keeping a copy of Windows around. Unfortunately I've already tried DOSBox-X and I get absolutely horrid screen tearing, no matter the vsync setting. I'll give Pure Unleashed a look at some point. My solution was to ...

Needing to replace the capacitors in my Xbox has led me to learning a lot of soldering and repair skills. Now I mod Xboxes for fun (and sometimes profit!). Also, for what it's worth, if your console has exceptionally bad video quality, you might find replacing the capacitors on the power supply will ...

First post on this forum. Greetings, ya primitive screwheads. As of the death of WIndows 10, I've officially made the jump to Linux. Using Mint Cinnamon, and I feel pretty at home. Inspired my Matt's work of installing stuff on hardware not meant for it, I dusted off my old college laptop, slapped ...
