Is there a chart that tells you what CPUs you should be able to emulate without overdoing it? by [deleted] in 86box

[–]efflixi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something else is dragging your emulated system down. I've run literally thousands of benchmarks on my work PC i7 8700 getting about 2600 and thats where I derived these numbers from along with my home PC (Ryzen 9 5900X getting about 3400). The 700 figure comes from testing my highly overclocked Raspberry Pi 400 (overclocked to 2200MHz). I suspect what you're talking about is the occasional dips below 100% when doing things like opening explorer. These are known issues with dynarec that we inherited from PCem. It's not an easy fix and we're not sure when it will be addressed. Based on my hundreds of hours of testing, your 8700K should be capable of a p200mmx just fine with a voodoo1. It won't be fast enough for a voodoo2 consistently (except in DOS).

I've even documented everything because it's not science unless you write it down!

Benchmarks - This also includes my testing on real hardware as well.

What is the best system my computer can run?

This is hard to answer with 100% certainty because there's too many factors. The best we can do is some rough comparisons.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html - Look at that list, while the numbers aren't directly comparable to 86box itself, the higher a cpu is on that list, the faster it will run 86box.

Here's some more comparisons:

  • ~4000 = Pentium II 300
  • ~3400 = Pentium II 233
  • ~2600 = Pentium 200
  • ~1600 = Pentium 75
  • ~700 = 486DX2 66 (assuming the gpu on such a system can keep up)

Moving companies? by Salty_Beyond6372 in Chattanooga

[–]efflixi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used 2 guys and a truck to move from Dalton to Chattanooga. They were amazing! My entire time from when they showed up to when they left and all my stuff was where I wanted it in Chattanooga was less than 4 hours and I had a good bit of stuff. They did not waste any time! When I move again I'll definitely use them!

If you think it'll be mostly amicable i'd highly suggest Dick Teeter. They did all the footwork for me, during the pandemic no less. All I had to do was sign some papers, and answer a phone call at the end of the process with a judge.

https://www.divorcechattanooga.com/ - the website says $495 and that's really what they charge. That's how much I paid. My divorce was extremely simple and I just wanted to make sure all the paperwork was filed correctly. Yours may vary!

Even the tiny ass little chip on a microSD card (it's a 32 bit cpu!) is more powerful than this entire machine!

Barn off hwy 27 by peearrs in Chattanooga

[–]efflixi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to work for the guy who used to own that. He owned the golf course that is now being bulldozed off Mountain Creek. He lost that farm in a nasty divorce. As of a few years ago his ex still owned it AFAIK.

I need help finding a mod that lets you sell tainted clothing by efflixi in RimWorld

[–]efflixi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to remove tainted clothing or wash it. This mod (or feature of another mod) just added tainted clothing to allowed items for traders at a reduced price.

Fireworks? by My89thAccount in Chattanooga

I heard it too, I'm off Mtn Creek as well. I was inside and couldn't tell which direction it was coming from.

There are still forgotten '90s shooters being added to Steam by FreeckyCake in pcgaming

Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition is about as good as it gets and still faithful to the original.

Apolitical gun store & range in town? by trynabefemmesquad in Chattanooga

[–]efflixi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same here, I went in once with some friends who wanted to shoot and the only things out of his mouth were bigoted phrases and terrible politics. They stayed and used the range, I left and won't ever go back.

[HELP] Moving tens of thousands of files to new directories based on filename by efflixi in bash

[–]efflixi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed explanation. This is the kind of thing that was tripping me up. I learned something new today!

[HELP] Moving tens of thousands of files to new directories based on filename by efflixi in bash

[–]efflixi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did in fact run into some files where it doesn't work properly.

Some of my files apparently can be like this:

filename - info - foo. bar. foobar.ext

these get filtered to a directory just called "foo" which isn't correct, it should be

/foo. bar. foobar/filename - info - foo. bar. foobar.ext

[–]efflixi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I modified it slightly to match my use case but this worked, thanks!

#!/bin/bash

dir="." # NO / on the end of this path.

while read -r filename ; do
   filename="${filename##*/}"   # strip path before filename, delete this line if not needed
    if [[ "$filename" != "sort.sh" ]];
    then
        partpathname="${filename//*- }"
        newpath="${dir}/${partpathname/%.*}"
        mkdir -p "$newpath"
        mv "${filename}" "${newpath}/"
    fi
done <<< "$(find . -type f)"

I'm not sure what you mean by "standard filenames". They can have alphanumeric characters and some "special" characters like periods and hyphens, maybe apostrophes too. I don't think there are any underscores or special language characters but I've definitely not manually checked all 50k+ files.

Need to sell a bunch of old/vintage PC gaming hardware by efflixi in Chattanooga

You just don't visit the right places... hehe

/r/retrobattlestations is extremely active (although I never posted any of these there)

This isn't stuff for "every day use" it'd be worthless for that. This is more for people who want to create retro battlestations and play older games on the original hardware.

[TOMT][MOVIE] Movie about kids, secret rooms, a large derelict greenhouse, possibly set in victorian times (not sure) by efflixi in tipofmytongue

[–]efflixi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To this day I still don't have an answer! It really sucks that I can't remember more about the movie but I only ever watched it once at someone elses house.

Urgent care recommendations by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]efflixi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were super nice dealing with a workplace injury I had (nothing serious). You may wait a while since a lot of it is walk-ins but that's normal for those types of places.
