Battlemage BMG-10 rumours:

https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?board=105.0 I have been stuck in GT Legends now 15 years. Running online racing championships with own made physics car set, making tools, mods, etc. This is the first year without championship in last 4-5 years as 3 months old boy has taken the...

Depends on game. In GT Legends I use 165Hz and in Mashinky anything over 60Hz is complete waste of energy. GT Legends being old ISI gmotor 2 game, uses refresh rate and/or fps (if no vsync) to read controller and so frame rate greatly effects how exact the steering input is. Mashinky is...

Thanks for the info... It makes perfectly sense. Nevertheless, I am still interested how they cope with the frame buffers... Sorry being soooo outdated, but As I asked in my previous post, how the screen refresh works nowadays? in ramdac days, you had to have solid front buffer for the ram dac...

yep, last time I posted here, it was 2013. Heck, one of my last threads I talked about "framing memories" in my and my girlfriend's new rental flat... and that was 2011! Even though we get married and moved to our own apartment, the chips are still framed and on the wall as display. Too bad that...

Long time, no see... :) Does nowadays screen refresh stuff (Ramdacs are long gone, but that's where I am coming from back here.) need solid memory area to read for screen refresh or are they able to read individual tiles making the screen out of them?

There's rumours flying that Microsoft will license the pure view technology to all WP8 manufacturers. Sounds bit like "you'll do the development and deal the costs and we'll come and pick up the cherries from the cake to make our business fly." Oh well, this thing made my 808 phone as a...

The idea of support seems to be in terms & conditions; Nokia still keeps the trademarks and patents and Microsoft rents the trademark to use in phones during next ten years. Nokia again is forbidden manufacturing own wireless devices until 2015. Nokia still keeps the network and other divisions...

slightly off topic, but right now the most successful game companies in Finland make cellphone and "facebook" style games. Gone are the years when companies like Remedy (max payne, Alan Wake) and Bugbear (Rally Trophy, Burnout paradise, FlatOut series and latest Ridge Racer) were the big...

Time travel back to the winter 1997 - 1998...

As long it runs the launch games enjoyable, could not care less how it compares to PS3/Xbox360... None of them are capable baking brownies while waiting the system update itself, so it does not really matter.

- As for the Nintendo, It is next gen. - As for the guys saying that Wii was NOT a next gen, it is. (Nintendo now being in same generation as the competition. Sounds laughable that they had one SD generation more than the others, but when you realize that they did it about 1/10th of developing...

It does not need to be flashing while downloading, but as simple and not so rare bug in automatic software updates in which the code does not check (or checks and always clears good to go) the validity of just downloaded package. So, technically, the system downloads the update and does not...

I am now using 808 and very happy with it. I have always been fine with Symbian so moving to this was probably a lot less painful than to anything else. (I was coming from C5-00) Excelent phone (honestly, best I have had for years. great reception and excelent sound quality, easy to use SMS...

Depends to whom they are selling it. There's approximately around 85 million Wiis in the world, mine being one of them. I still like quite few Wii games and play them occasionally, especially as party games like Rayman Raving Rabbits it's great choice. Wii U gives me possibility to update the...
