    Vista Pricing

    Seconds away, round 2... in the Vista corner... Yeah I like Vista - The new overhauled sound sub-system gives me less latency with native DirectSound than ASIO for VSTis in my music, certainly not the case with the dreadful legacy sound architecture in XP. I like superfetch too, pre-caching...

    Are You A Young Person? I Need Your Help...

    "well sick" has been superceded by "proper ill" apparently. e.g. Got a 800W amp in me Nova, proper ill. Here's more extracts from a dictionary I'm working on, where possible i've included translations: "pure bad sounds" (what might come out of your mobile phone) "bang eck out of im" (to...

    You say it's a joke but honestly I found it terrifying.

    GP2X Work!

    Too many for me to list really without making other people feel thick and inadequate, however I'll start with the most important: I'm a fully qualified ladies man with handsomeness levels 5,6 & Advanced. I also have a gold certificate in Less Than Serious Forum Posts and am currently running a...

    Sdl_creatergbsurface

    Thanks for those ideas guys, I've tried altering the program accordingly but to no avail. Just as I was about to really lose control I found that an old, "definitely working source" no longer works now when compiled for GP2X pointing to the fact that I've shafted the compiler somehow. I don't...

    A New Version Of Beebem!

    what a beautiful endgame, Siberian tactics. Nice. While we're confessing... On the Sega Saturn I tried an April Fool Tomb Raider cheat published in Sega Saturn Magazine: Activated by rhythmically tapping out the Spice Girls lyric: "I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want" on the...

    A New Version Of Beebem!

    No fun whatsoever. Half the thrill was spending the obligatory 3 hours trying to figure out which line you typed in wrong. I remember one rather vicious April fool in Micro User when a 10 page listing (mostly written in BBC BASIC assembler) did nothing more than render a mode 7 teletext screen...

    Sdl_creatergbsurface

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me with this: bg_scroll_data = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,1000,1000,32,r_mask, g_mask, b_mask,a_mask); It's working fine on Windows, when the GP2X hits the line above it's quitting. I'm using the official devkit. All my other code has...

    She'll probably be delighted to read some of the back issues you've got tucked away there. Starting with classic articles like Successful Text Adventuring For Young Adults or How To Beat The Rubik's Cube Harnessing The Explosive Power Of 6502 and then moving on to Germs: Why your hands can never...

    A New Version Of Beebem!

    I never leave home without at least one copy of Micro User, primarily because I never know when I might get the urge to spend 3 days typing in one of their fine BASIC listings ;) EDIT: I just thought... there's only one thing more fun than typing in a Micro User program listing - typing a Micro...

    A New Version Of Beebem!

    Not really, my earliest game playing memory is playing Atari's Asteroids (rel. 1979) in 1980. So the industry was still very much in it's infancy in my childhood. It's not like I was born during the release of Sonic The Hedgehog. Sounds like quite a dizzying experience you had there. I...

    Vista Pricing

    I have to say I like Vista.. The only thing that sucks is the price! and there are 3 things to say about that: - KMS server activation - timerstop.sys crack - today's new bruteforce keygen (hoax) - Paradox OEM driver (new!) Regarding these known Vista WPA 2.0 circumvention techniques: Please...

    A New Version Of Beebem!

    I've been playing a lot of BBC games on this lately and I have to say it's shocking how many start with "would you like instructions? (Y/N)" There is no throwing you in at the deep end like the vicious arcade machines of the same era... For there to be such a demand for instructions I can only...

    Can I add a smaller linked summary in News? Alternatively I could ask this dude if I can borrow his news trumpet. EDIT: Thanks for adding it :)

    Xpdf - Fast Pdf Reader For Gp2x Released!

    There are many reasons not to install the X server. Just to recap, I found the most convincing ones so far are: 1) It brings bad luck 2) It may be linked to crop failure 3) It makes babies be born with 7 fingers ;)

    Tower Defence Game

    There's a GL shareware game of the same name that was later renamed 'Master Of Defence'. Same deal, building on the starcraft/warcraft original concept: www.master-of-defense.com

    Xpdf - Fast Pdf Reader For Gp2x Released!

    Excellent work Parkydr. This was one of the real missing/needed apps on the GP2X imo. I tried that other, old one and couldn't get it to open any of my PDFs. This one works a treat, tried it with some 50mb docs and it has no problem with any of them. As for using X, the server is so small I...
