    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    It's fantastic to play with, no doubt about it. The consumer version (my guess is next year's CES before that appears) will blow it away in terms of resolution alone though. Don't get me wrong, although the screen grid is visible in the DK2, some stuff hides it well - in the Doom engine games...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    Games/demos that have a fixed point of reference seem to be less 'affecting' - driving, or seated with a visible cockpit/control panel causes me no dizziness at all. There's a really good one, Sightline VR's "The Chair" - http://sightlinevr.com/ In which you're seated with a visible torso...

    Zx81

    ptitSeb's latest port creates the same config file, so anyone in a hurry to play 3D Monster Maze or any of the majority of titles that used cursor keys, can just edit that file ( http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/7319-zx81-emulator-sz81-d-pad-remapping//URL]) or run sz81 once, then quit so the...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    No, never. I did with Doom though. Played about 25 minutes of it and I started to heave. It's definitely the constant 'rolling' motion that the walking has (up & down bobbing with side-to-side rocking whenever you walk). I have a load of other demos, Wingsuit flying (controlled with head...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    I just started playing through Doom and Hexen using GZ3Doom - http://rotatingpenguin.com/gz3doom/ It's impossible to do justice in words to how well these old games translate to VR! The sense of scale, the vertigo with all those sheer drops and narrow walkways.. and the 2D enemies enhances the...

    Zx81

    It doesn't, or at least it didn't in the old port as I mentioned. It seems as if it's set up only to recognise an external joypad input perhaps? It behaves as if it's registering your input, but it does nothing apparently. In the previous port of SZ81, it was possible to edit a hidden config...

    Zx81

    I still have SZ81 (was a ZX80/81 owner back in the day too!), I remember that the D-Pad wasn't mappable to the ZX81's keys from within the emulator, making many games very tricky, especially the many that used cursors, virtually impossible on the Pandora, being keys 5,6,7,8 and 0! There is a...

    C4A Compo for April 2015

    It runs smoothly on my old CC! Once or twice it has started and been very slow and jerky, but if that happens I just close it and restart it again, and it works fine. Try again!

    Release Mr Rescue

    Maybe it's just me, but when I esc from the main menu to exit, or if I rage quit by holding the Pandora button, the game often closes also disconnecting my WiFi connection.

    Germanwings flight 9525

    The searches of his home computer revealed he had been exploring both suicide methods and the security behaviour of the cockpit door locks. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/03/world/europe/germanwings-lufthansa-andreas-lubitz-black-box.html?_r=0

    C4A Compo for April 2015

    That's the room that ended my run too, I think? You drop in from the top, there are spikes on the roof preventing you jumping to the right, and spikes beside the platform on the bottom that you can't jump over because of the ladder beside them. I tried all sorts of falls and jumps, shooting...

    Germanwings flight 9525

    The voice recorder apparently caught the sounds of the pilot trying to re-enter the cockpit, first via the intercom, then by knocking on the door and identifying himself repeatedly, with increasing intensity. It also recorded the passenger's screams as they approached the mountains. The rate of...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    If you want to protect your lenses, this lot do screen protectors intended for watches that fit 40mm lenses (ie those in the Oculus at least) and others, for a pittance (I got a pack of 6 for €3.37 inc p&P - http://www.protectionfilms24.com/ The set I got were"Savvies SU75 UltraClear Screen...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    I finally ironed out a few more issues and got the infamous 'Senza Peso' demo going (among others) - Runs perfectly at max settings (1080p, all the bells) although there are tiny stutters sometimes when a lot is going on and you turn suddenly. They are very brief though, not bad at all...

    Raspberry Pi 2 unveiled with faster processor and more memory

    Anybody got PCSX ReARMed running on RPi 2 under Raspbian (as opposed to under one of the emulation sd card image setups)?

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    I haven't had the chance to play with it intensively yet, still ironing out the odd little problems I keep encountering as I get the time (have no controls to see fps in Unity demos, though I think I know what the issue there is, will fix soon!) but the Titans of Space demo (...

    Magic Leap's Augmented Reality technology

    Suspicious of the 'retinal projection' business. It's a claim that's been abused before. AR would be great for parties though. If everyone has a headset, you could have some amazing multiplayer stuff - like dogfights with little planes (should have an Atari VCS 'Combat' mode, with blocky clouds...
