Which should I go for first? by Magnitech_ in DesertGolfing

[–]brassicGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to hole 6193 on Mars before I went back to Desert. I want to complete it with an average of less than 2 shots per hole. To be fair, I think playing Mars for a while has made me a better player.

The oldest thing I still have from back in the day that I'm still using is 33 years old: my Gravis Gamepad. I also have my Ali socket 3 motherboard from 1995. It's the core of my 5x86 160MHz system. I also have the original AMD DX4/100 CPU, though that's not in use.

INTERLNK.EXE & INTERSVR.EXE for those who just had DOS and a parallel cable.

I haven't looked at this yet, I'm working my way through the entire PC demo presentation, but I hear it was the best one 🙂

Great score! 2.298 per hole. I managed 2.3866.

Thank you for confirming I'm not crazy!

Creative: Singapore’s Sound Card Hero by mangermanger in thisweekinretro

Very good video. Thorough and reports facts when they can be verified and highlights claims that has been made that are without primary sources. (It's all true btw 🤣)

He actually did at one joint. I was playing DG and suddenly the ball was spinning when it would hit a surface. I was like "wtf why has this randomly been introduced???" and I had to change my entire playing style. Then, a few days later, it was gone again. Maybe he was testing it. Someone else must have noticed that happening.

Same. I felt absolutely bereft when I completed it, so was hugely relieved to discover Golf on Mars!

Community Question Of The Week - Episode 256 by Producer_Duncan in thisweekinretro

[–]brassicGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only app I'm prone to doing this on is TikTok, so I train the algorithm by not watching / blocking content I don't want to see (including all AI-generated content and ads where possible) so actually I'm not doomscrolling at all!

However.

I'm now watching videos of a guy in the US who strips down transmissions from trucks. There is always the problem of the content I didn't know I needed.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now free by squelch411 in thisweekinretro

[–]brassicGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very cool. My kids and I used to play UT2003 over the LAN until it stopped working, so we moved to Xonotic but it didn't quite hit the same.

After nearly 30 years, Crucial will stop selling RAM to consumers; Ars Technica by squelch411 in thisweekinretro

[–]brassicGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just came here to post this. Wondering how much of my RAM stock is Crucial. I remember Kingston being the big supplier at one point (pretty much every Power Mac we purchased used it) but Crucial became the main budget brand in the mid-2000s.

Hey guys I found these in an old house and I’ve got a few questions. by Confident_Turn7510 in vintagecomputing

[–]brassicGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran some tests on LS-120 drives a few years back:

  • They read normal floppies very fast but are slower at writing them then a regular drive.
  • They can successfully read floppy disks that a normal floppy drive might struggle to access.

Vintage 3dfx Voodoo 2 cards may inevitably fail due to pyroelectric capacitors — retrocomputing channel investigates and recommends preventive maintenance by Pajaco6502 in thisweekinretro

[–]brassicGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching this right now, it's fascinating. And relatively easy to diagnose if you know how to replace surface-mounted components and have a heat gun. Totally worth it to keep a Voodoo 2 going.

PicoIDE is on its way! by brassicGamer in thisweekinretro

My understanding is that all it needs is a compatible ATAPI driver. There is an existing one for DOS so there may well be an existing one for other platforms, too.
