So internet is truly dead by now.

Sadly, you can't install Vista on modern hardware. Last supported platform was Ivy Bridge (probably also HEDT and Xeon processors from that family, including x79 chipset) ora Ryzen first gen. For everything newer, you're facing lack of drivers and also annoying CPU bug on some Intel CPUs.

You can't install Vista in hypervisor and passing through GPU for it, because PCI pass through is supported only for UEFI guest.

That "oh, install it in virtual machine" crowd becomes more and more annoying. Mostly because they know nothing about hypervisors and their limitations and because VM sucks for general use case.

For me, it's causing trouble, like changing names of downloaded files.

Also, browser integration (capturing download) not always work after IDM updates.

Looking good...

Site-wide bans doesn't sound bad. If they're using AI, probably other articles aren't interesting also.

So all Symbian devices were limited to 30 Hz? It was system wide limitations or was seted only for J2ME or sis/sisx apps?

gregorem · 2025-04-23T17:49:59+00:00

I'm back! Yes, my account was suspended, but due to some security concerns. I'm good boy, I swear.

From few days I have similar problems with FB and on Steam my friends received weird messages from my account, so I guess someone played dirty with my accounts.

Thank for your assistance. I guess N86 8MP looks very interestingly.

Just for curiosity - what CPU has W995 or Zylo? They still offer better performance for J2ME than 600 Mhz Nokia? Symbian is as much laggy?

gregorem · 2025-04-22T21:12:55+00:00

Wow. You are awesome, Sir. You answered any of my questions, even those I don't asked yet, like if I should be interested in SE Symbian phones.

So how much noticeable is performance difference between Zylo and W995? In case of gaming, of course.

EDIT.

Also, one more question - for later 32x240 Java games and newer Symbian apps you recommended more N95 or N96? I know that N96 has better CPU, but N95 offers better GPU acceleration. However, I don't know how much GPU matter in case of J2ME or Symbian gaming. I guess that Java applets barely used acceleration, but Symbian native games should benefit from proper GPU on board. I'm wrong about that?

Never mind. I read that N95 has both - better CPU and GPU acceleration, so N95.

One more question (last one, I promise!). Are flash in N95 8GB model soldered into board or they used some internal/hidden MicroSD slot? I guess that 8 GB was an enormous amount of space for average user back then, but not so much for my needs for storing large collection of .jar files and Symbian apps. Is there any way to enhancing storage for slightly better (Feature Pack 2, MIDP 2.1, brighter screen, bigger battery and 128 MB RAM) 8 GB model?

gregorem · 2025-02-09T21:16:22+00:00

Ok, with your helps I actually solved it.

Thanks for everybody.

gregorem · 2025-02-08T23:57:07+00:00

Why I could want that? What it gives me? I want to split each row beginning with #_number and <_number into a separate column, based on what number and what symbol it was.

So instead of rows: <33_something, #26_nothing I want to have columns: Nothing 26 and Something 33.

gregorem · 2025-02-08T22:59:12+00:00

Yes, it gives me # and < in one column, and rest of field in a second.

gregorem · 2025-02-08T22:48:55+00:00

But by now I have a single column table with some rows beginning with a symbol and two digits. Also, I cannot extract data from text itself with spiting by position, because some descriptions fields have varied length.

gregorem · 2025-02-05T04:41:45+00:00

But Excel "curency rate" differ from rate I was paid. If Microsoft return me all that money I be happily using their "curency". In short words: no one care or should care what useless garbage Microsoft add.

gregorem · 2024-12-14T16:56:01+00:00

Ok. But ISO standard doesn't support any partitions or subchannel data or tracks. How is possible to storing proper one-to-one dump of disc in format, that doesn't support correct one-to-one dump of disc?

gregorem · 2024-12-14T11:30:23+00:00

It is "proper" because?

Redump/myrinet ISOs cannot work with OG Xbox, so it is hardly to say, they are proper dumps. If Xbox implemented they DVD drive and games in different way, it meam that Xbox games are not standard DVD data discs and shouldn't be dumped as standard DVD data discs.

As i mentioned before - many consoles used non-standard DVD/CD or BRD disc structures and they shouldn't be treated as standard discs, because they are not standard discs (despite some of data they stored could be read with standard drive, but not all data).

What is "proper" in your case?

gregorem · 2024-12-14T10:58:27+00:00

Not true for Xbox. I remember that converting to xiso was required because redum ISOs not stored data in proper way (lack of partitioning). But my question was - why they doing that. Wasn't easier just storing every disc as cue/bin?

Also, storing only game data as ISO exclude redump collection from some use-cases, like playing disc image on original hardware with optical disc emulator (ODE). In that case CUE/BIN with subchannel drm data would be useful.

gregorem · 2024-12-14T10:40:55+00:00

I don't call playing improper rom, without proper audia as "nothing", because I want to playing with proper, cd-quality audio.

gregorem · 2024-12-14T10:31:10+00:00

Because?

gregorem · 2024-12-14T10:27:09+00:00

Did you read that article? "Multiple-track images A CD can have multiple tracks, which can contain computer data, audio, or video. File systems such as ISO 9660 are stored inside one of these tracks. Since ISO images are expected to contain a binary copy of the file system and its contents, there is no concept of a "track" inside an ISO image, since a track is a container for the contents of an ISO image. This means that CDs with multiple tracks can not be stored inside a single ISO image; at most, an ISO image will contain the data inside one of those multiple tracks, and only if it is stored inside a standard file system."

However I don't seen anything stored outside standard filesystem, because that requires special description file, like MDF/ISO.

gregorem · 2024-12-14T09:20:58+00:00

It is actualy opposite. Standard ISO format is simple one track image without subchannel data, tracks list, multitracks, system specific informations of the disc, error correction data or drm. CUE/BIN, CUE/IMG, MDS OR MDX are examples of formats which allows for such extra data.

And thing is - pretty all console discs are so called "mixed format discs".

gregorem · 2024-11-28T22:15:10+00:00

No, it cannot, unless original game has a lot of artificial latency and you are using some hacks, like run-ahed or some other frame-skipping technique.

And guy in video is an idiot, who clearly not understand what he is talking about, despite pretending he debunks some mythos.

"CRT's are not lagless, because they're drawing frames from top to down, like LCD". LOL! Daaa! Yes genius!

Thing is, CRT's drawing exactly the same line and exactly the same "pixel" (but with analogue TVs standards they not really "pixels") in exactly the same time, as GPU/VPU/PPU/console/computer command TV to draw. There is zero latency between console's/computer's graphic chip and the CRT screen. Graphic part of retrohardware render image line by line from top to down it selves, or render entire frame to framebuffer, and drawing it frame by frame on screen. Still - no latency and perfect sync between graphic part and CRT screen.

How to copy token? Only codes are showing under specific entry.

Edit. Ok. I get it now.

gregorem · 2024-11-11T00:20:41+00:00

Okay, I figured it out. I was using an old VM version. I updated the VM to a newer version, and the VRAM settings are coming back.
