Quoting: Eike

Quoting: elmapuli bet they did that because wine/dosbox already can run 100% of dos 4.0 games/softwares, so it would be useless to keep this codebase proprietary anyway and by open sourcing it they create an good image for thenselves.

And if DOSBox wouldn't run the games? They'd sell MSDOS 4.0?

if dosbox cant run, probably the game was made for MSDOS 5.0, 6.0 or something like that.

that is exactly what im saying, if the full scope of an tech is already supported by an open source alternative, there is no reason to keep the secret an secret anymore.

Quoting: elmapulthis was like, my first PC game ever!
im not even kidding, it was not my first gaming system since i had an n64, but when i saw the graphics i was stunned.

anyway i never finished it =p

Yeah, this game came free with my Voodoo graphics card, and I loved it.

i paid like 6.50R$ (nowadays that is about 1.2 us dollars, but back then it was something like 3.25 us dollars)
it was dirty cheap compared to n64 games who were about 60~120 R$ (actually i think the only reason we were able to buy 2 for the price of one was because the games were already cheaper than the standard price and we made an deal to purchase 2 if we got an disccount)


the graphics were also more impressive than n64 games.

Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: scaineInvestors.

I think now's probably a good time to remind people of the Phantom console and the Gametrac/Gizmondo handheld. (For anyone who doesn't remember them, they were infamous investor-scams.)

Quoting: scaineAs for "NFT haters", I think you mean "normal people". Nothing wrong with blockchain per se, but it's most commonly associated with burning the planet via proof of work, and it'll take a long time to shift perception on that.

I think it's quite fair to describe it as a solution looking for a problem, really.

Quoting: PhiladelphusI'm sure it's just the render, but I can't unsee that little USB-C port floating attached to the back of the thing instead of being inside it.

holyshit, now that you said it, i think its not even an 3D render but an AI render.
sigh
they probably prompted something like
"futuristic looking portable game console"
and didnt even checked the final result before using the image.
i cant wait to see they try to grab funds for it.

let me see...
an pyramid scheme... i mean block chain focused... PORTABLE device, i cant wait to see how long the battery will last.

their priorirties are all inverted, in the best case scenario this is a scam, in the worst they are just that stupid.
i mean serious, look at this dpad you can see its bad just by looking at it.
i said smatch z was an scam and it indeed was... i can smell this is a scam too from miles of distance.
everything related to nft was , this is just too late for the "party".

web3, seriously, at least they should have said it will also run native linux games or anything that works on wine/proton.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanuali don't expect GIMP to ever replace Photoshop for the simple reason that Photoshop is the only program that has perfect compatibility with .PSD files (with the exception of maybe Photopea?).

not even adobe have an perfect compatibility with their own file formats.
i used flash (not to be confused with flash player, flash was the authoring tool) and it could support up to one version...
i remember that in college, we had 2 labs, one with flash 4 and one with flash 6.
flash CS6 opened files from CS6, CS 5.5 and CS 5.0
on the other lab, we had flash cs4 with suport for fla files made on CS4 , CS 3.5 and CS3.

im not sure if photoshop work the same way, but i wouldnt be surprised.
