Well, it looks like you could install new games ("GEMs" - game enhancement module?), so if you can find them, you can add them. I know the Mac community was generally well connected - there were even plenty of shareware CDs that were distributed on a quarterly basis which made pre-internet...

Makes sense, really, given the box has to stand on its own. The people who would buy it are probably teenagers who would've been far more fascinated by the scrolling wheel and watch gimmick than a simple table printed on the box. And the added cost is really a few cents - a few extra die...

No, the real reason is the PS4 is a games machine, not a media machine. Sony is a backer of the 4K UHD format, but they intentionally did not want to support it because they did not want their PS4 to handle media. It's why its media playback functionality is non-existent (Yes, it's there, but...

I never got the hang of these stickers... they always ended up as a big mess for me. What's the trick?

Nice. It's a pity he didn't try using a proper GM synth other than the crap known as Microsoft GS. Even though Microsoft licensed it from Roland, they cut practically everything out of it. Even for a 2MB sample bank, it sounds like crap (the MT-32 is 512kb, and SC-55 I believe is also 2MB and...

I suppose the question now is what did you get HER?!

I still have mine - from the very LIMITED time the CIC actually sold them. It's awesome.

Apparently the brother of Matt Burch. Ambrosia Software was probably one of the biggest Mac game developers back in the day - they had some of the slickest Mac games that weren't just simple ports of existing games, at least back then. I remember playing a ton of Escape Velocity back in the day...

Oddly, I have the same kit, but my kit came with a 5x drive and the whole "Dynamic Xtended Resolution" branding all over the door. Though I admit I bought the kit later, it still came with the WC4 DVD.

I always wondered, since the error strings were re-written internally, in theory, one could see those error messages after playing Wing Commander and then doing something else. So if you were playing another game, if it caused the same EMM386 error, it would print "Thanks for playing Wing...

As long as it's regular soap, none of the anti-bacterial crap that creates more problems than it solves. And it doesn't get your hands any cleaner.

"Piracy" as a term to mean copyright infringement dates back to the 1600s, so it's not a new term. It's been around for as long as Copyright itself has been around, pretty much. Anyhow, the easiest way is to use use a DOSBox with MT-32 emulation built in. Mac users are set here since Boxer...

Yeah, Opus is basically another lossy encoder. It replaces Speex (used to be used for speech) and Vorbis (for audio) formats with a single codec good at both. It's a standardized codec for internet audio as it has extremely low latency (making it good for real time communications) and high...

It's a well known fact that movie trailers often feature the soundtrack of another movie. Perhaps the most recognizable one was the original 1987 Robocop trailer, which featured the Terminator score. Sometimes lesser movies were also used - I remember having the TV on in the background and...

Well, if the D-110 has the same instrument patches as the MT-32, then it would sound pretty much the same. "Pretty much" because the MT-32 has a few limitations intentionally put in there by Roland to compromise the audio output. But if the patch banks are the same, you'll probably be treated to...

Probably something more like "With games like this, I stopped overspending" or probably more familiarly, "Stop paying so much for games like this" showing you can get them for 99 Francs. "Collect the greatest hits for PC and PC CD-ROM. List of games and points of sale ..." "(Microcomputer)...

I had the same question. I figured the Green meant supported, and Brown was unsupported, but X? Maybe X means supported directly, green means it works (but using something else, like SB emulation) and brown means not supported. It seems to work better that way because the timeline of the Pro...

Links are broken. Easy to fix on the user end, but still an annoyance.

Custom soundfont with a fuller featured synth (bassmidi or better). Not only does the wavetable Microsoft has sound crappy (it's supposed to be a Roland based wavetable, but it doesn't sound like it - even the Sound Canvas SC-55 with a smaller wavetable sounds better!), but the synthesizer they...

I just wish I had more money... there's so much to want. I have Volume 1 already, so that's no big deal, but the scores to Volume 1 and Volume 2 I want... hell I bet if I can ask for the MIDIs it might be nice to pipe them through my SC-88Pro or even my Yamaha MU2000Ex - one of two Yamaha units...
