Oooh… 5-1/4" CDC floppy drive. I've just picked up one of those, boxed. Nice.
The Atari 810 uses single-sided mechanisms from both Tandon and MPI.
Hitman World Of Assassination would have same problem if servers got shutdown
I'm not a fan of piracy. But if a game is, for all intents and purposes, otherwise unplayable. And the developers/rights holders are not otherwise supporting a way to purchase and play it, I have very little sympathy for the rights holders to complain. Either they're leaving money on the table, or the pirate scene for their game is so boutique that there was no money to be actually be made, and thus no loss of profits.
Ubisoft has Modern Day DRM by making their games broken on launch and the micro transaction which are connected to the internet to make it playable. XP Boost, and Maps without make the game unplayable.
Who needs gameplay based progression when you can have actual gambling
Can't play fabke 3? No great loss.
How do you keep track of all of your games so you don't buy duplicates? Do you have a written catalogue you reference when going to yard sales/flea markets, or do you have all 600+ games memorized?
I have a massive catalog for it: wiki.techtangents.net/wiki/Software_Collection
No offence brotha but your the last person I think about when it comes to mail calls for OF.
I think it's terribly sad when a Studio has worked hours if not days on a multiplayer mode/Game, which in turn creates a robust Community. And a couple of year later the game/Mode is shut down, whereupon that game/Mode get lost to time with zero possible for anyone to play it again.
Dude, that 5,25" CDC drive looks exactly like one of the drives @Usagi Electric needs for his EDS data Terminal!
wow you get some awesome mail, great vid!
I have so many games on my shelf i paid hard erned money for and can NOT play. It outrages me
In other news MSDOS just went opensource. Maybe this is what the Game vendors should do
The C= logo on the Vader calculator is backwards. 🙃
Doom 3 Far Cry 2 S.T.A.L.K.E.R Half Life 2 Crysis Unreal Tournament 2003 Colin McRae Rally NFS Underground Best times in life 🙂❤️
Fable was like 4 to 8 CDs at that time right?😀
Lost Planet 2 my beloved Another GFWL victim
theres some of my xbox 360 games that also have been made unplayable even if you own the original disk and wanna play the game solo (offline just doing the campain kinda thing)
Man, do i feel stupid now. I had no idea it was so complex. Thanks for the video!!
Yea it's a shame. I'd love to play Fable 3
why would one play the original, when you can just use a crack ?
The solution is to collect games on consoles(x360 or ps3), after 2007-2008 is no sense collecting pc
im the same way, i play mostly older games
Ah the beauty of pirated and repacked games burned on blueray... physical media no drm game on my shelve for ever (well at least 100 years so past my life time anyway). Piracy is the only way to preserve games, remember to support and vote with wallet, do not buy what u don't agree with, pirate it.
Get a life
One type of DRM is on the rise. It's in the form of AI DRM.
I really hate the world of video games now. It’s full of corporations involved in blatant fraud/scammy behavior and rife with psychologically manipulative political garbage and broken content. Unless it’s FromSoftware or a company I adamantly trust, I’ll just pirate it or stick with emulation.
Hi Shelby, it's Kevin. Just a couple of things about the X9DRH I sent you: 1. For the v2 Xeon's you need BIOS v3.00 or newer (motherboard should have it due to being manufactured in 2018). 2. So if you install the v2's and you get a blank screen, you will need to install the Sandy Bridge Xeon's you have and flash the to latest BIOS. 3. I ordered a couple of Supermicro Heatsinks from eBay shipped directly to you. Part# SNK-P0050AP4. These come with the narrow ILMs and are the correct heatsinks for this motherboard. 4. I believe this motherboard is either new or openbox, so it hasn't been tested yet. Thanks!
Is the Xeon 2690 good enough for modern gaming?
@@LagrangePoint0 Regardless of whether you mean the 2690 Shelby already had or the 2690 v2s sent in this video, you/someone would be FAR better served by even mid-lower end consumer grade CPUs from the several generations from Intel or AMD. Even today, games are rarely going to be making use of more than a few cores at any given time so the multitude of extra cores (8c16t for the "v1", 10c20t for v2) will go mostly unused. Even ignoring that, the architecture these are built on (Sandy and Ivy Bridge respectively) is 12+ years old at this point and are going to have horrid IPC (how much they can do in terms of "doing work"/intelligently or efficiently doing work) versus current offerings, as well as not being able to clock super high and while sucking back loads of power to do so. Aside from having the bits laying around and geeeenerally not caring about how much power you're burning, even for the sorts of tasks these would have been used for when they were still current, keeping them in service for actual day to day usage is really hard to justify; At least aside from the always present "I just think they're neat" factor. I say this as someone typing on a 3770k (consumer Ivy) system, with a dual 2667v2 workstation to toy around with in the attic.
Good afternoon! I've got some experience writing new software for Windows CE from upgrading industrial factory systems a few years ago, if you need any software written for the HP Jornada please feel free to reach out!
yar har fiddledeedee
Shoutout to Capcom for their mobile game Mega Man X Dive which ran on free-to-play and when they eventually shut down, they rereleased it as a separate paid purchase that runs entirely offline. It is the best way to save it? Probably not at all, but its an effort that was made at all and at this point, its more than a lot of others are doing.
what is your pc? it looks quite small. :-)
Does anyone know the stream that starts at 52:36? Was it a Members-only stream? I'm curious about the PC he's working on and that version of Linux, lol.
So is PC still king after this??? When I can turn on my old Xbox or PS and play those games no problem… 🤔
There is always piracy. So not only do you get to play the game you also get it for free
@@Ratfkr yeah but you could also get a free virus if you go that route so idk
@@alcrats not if you know what you're doing. there's tons of trusted and reliable piracy resources nowadays. for example, just look at the r/piracy and r/piratedgames subreddits respective megathreads.
Console supremacy??!
Yoho Yoho, a Pirate's life for me!
super micro are good i still use a super c2sbc-q for retro fun
Unreal tournament 99 also works lol
Sailing seas is for mes!
That's why I at least buy the physical media of the things I pirate, in case I need them doubled.
NFTs were invented to solve this problem and prevent this from happening in the future. They're not supposed to cost money. They're supposed to permanently verify ownership in a decentralized manner. Then these monkey idiots ruined the plan and every one of us is back to being screwed by corpotrash without any hope of resolution on the horizon. We had the opportunity to reclaim power, and instead we thrust it back into the hands of those who abuse it. We violently defend the cash-grabbers in one of the most ironic events in gaming history. This sucks. You have no idea what we all lost because our brains were corrupted by propaganda. The campaign was so effective that most of us are still enraged by the idea of getting a free DRM solution that's trustless and completely decentralized. We'd rather be stuck with buying games and cosmetics and never ever being able to actually own them, apparently.
I got Fable 3 Installed and its playable for me in singleplayer. but I made sure to get a steamkey.
Before Laser Printers, Daisy Wheel printers were a viable option if you were looking for letter perfect. The only other option at that time was Dot Matrix Printers.
Back in the day, I worked at a music store in the era when pirated MP3 downloading was rampant but iTunes and streaming platforms like Spotify didn't exist. We'd have customers come in all the time saying the CDs they bought didn't work. Turns out the DRM on the CDs (that pirates easily sidestepped) prevented people from using them on certain players, mostly commonly car based ones. The only people DRM actually punished were the people who paid real money for their physical product.
Legit i feel like if a company is going to off a online multiplayer game then atleast it should be given an offline bots function.
@14:35 This is exactly how I feel. I don't understand how companies think that they can release collector's editions of games without a disc - this is what really matters to collector's, not all of the extra crap that they shove in the box!.. Without the disc, the collection feels like a lie sitting on your shelf!
I'd reach out to Curious Marc if I were you, he probably has full manuals and service info for that HP breadboard. ;-)
I see the boxes on the shelf for Rollcage 1 & 2, both are fantastic games, and I've spent countless hours playing them. There are upgrades available for both of these games on the Internet that were programmed by one of the original coders, and the changes made make these games spectacular; but, the upgrades are geared towards more modern systems like Windows XP, and Windows 7.
i still dont know why you'd want to listen to midis??
Why was the knife the wrong way round? Also, soooo jealous of the Apple Iic. I love these. My favourite of all the Apple Computers ever made.
It's two sided, one side is an exposed blade while the other is a hook like a safety knife. I can cut the tape over the folded flaps on the ends with the normal blade but then use the hook to not have the knife protrude into the box and possibly damage the item.
