What's the most stable and feature-rich ATI driver for older (R200-based) cards? Is the newer 'ATI Catalyst for Older ATI cards 6.5' driver better than the old Cat 5.xx series? What was the last (WinXP) version of Catalyst that supported TruForm for R200-based cards? (ATI dropped support for the old...

You can't find anything better than AntiVir and NOD32

As a special bonus,the latest version of AntiVir now includes a very good rootkit scanning engine.

*Shocking news* DirectX 10 Compatibility Libraries Preview (a preview release is now available for download) These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Microsoft Vista, and increase hardware compatibility even on Vista, by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native mach...

Is there an option to disable the WAV logging in the latest SVN builds? Even when sound and SPC emulation are both disabled,it still logs the output to a WAV file.

P.S. It would be nice to keep the WAV logging in the next public release (with an option to select the output to file or DSound)

NullDC 1.0.0 Public Beta 1 <- this one looks like a big joke to me

PCSX 0.9.3 for Linux <- even this one looks fishy

[EDIT]: Seems they're both real

Unfortunately this plugin doesn't help at all :( The volume setting doesn't work.Same for the sound recording window - I can't even log the wave output to see what's wrong :( Just try sfex2pj ,go to the sound test and play 'Sound Code 0005' Compare the sound of MAME and that of ZiNc. There's terribl...

[EDIT] Even the newest PeopsDSound plugin doesn't help (this one *has* a volume setting)

I've never had any problems with ZiNc's sound output when runing ZN-1/2-based games. ZiNc's default sound plugin sounds OK,but the output is too loud (internally),so I get heavy distortion (especially noticable when listening through headphones).Turning down the volume on the soundcard to the very ...

Is it possible to load and run PSX-based ZN games with ePSXe,to get enhanced graphics and more accurate sound than currently possible with MAME (and ZiNc)? ZiNc is not an option,because the sound distorts badly (although the graphics can be enhanced with Pete's plugins).It's a shame EternalSPU doesn...

VBA k54 also had a nice LCD filter and better PSG sound emulation. VBA Spacy had a better DirectX 9-based renderer. VBA link (also dead) had awesome 4-player link support. Spacy discontinued VBA-S to work on the official VBA code,but no news of him since he made the switch. No$GBA is a pretty good G...

Just try patching SMW with the SMW2+Complete.zip patch from ROMHacking.net
It always freezes DOSBox,even though the rom is patched OK.

[EDIT] I tried fixing some other roms and it works great.It must be that SMW patch.

Tried the latest version - the problem still happens When patching a rom,the program freezes using 100% CPU.The ROM eventually gets patched while the app is not responding,but it never recovers to the main menu (I have to terminate the DOSBox process)

I hope this version doesn't run like a crippled dog.
I couldn't even run SNESTool with the previous one without massive slowdown and freezing

It's Zee - SNES

They're wrong about the audio part.SNEeSe and bsnes have much more accurate audio for now. (although the latest SVN build of ZSNES has greatly improved audio accuracy.Super Turrican now finally sounds very close to the real thing.For example,no more stuttering triple "1up" when an extra li...

And LCDs aren't low resolution...

If 1280x1024 (or even 1600x1200) is enough for your needs,then yes.
If I were to buy an LCD,I would need a SurroundView LCD setup (3x 1280x1024)

OK,one more question: If you use a portscanner on a remote computer,how does it detect the already used (busy) open ports? Like a closed port or differently?

I know LCD refresh rate doesn't matter in general usage,but those new 120Hz Samsung displays do have a noticeable difference. Also,this is important for emulators such as bsnes where PAL games have to be outputted at 100Hz to get accurate video emulation. Because no PC monitor supports 50Hz,the only...

Don't forget the low resolution,low refresh rates and bad resampling to a non-native resolution.
But as I know,Samsung's gonna address these issues very soon.
So,now it's still not a good time to buy an LCD monitor.

phonymike,I was talking about connections _from_ a local port not _to_ a remote port.Software can be set to connect to a specified (remote) port on another computer and this doesn't change,but every time you connect to the remote machine at for example port 6670,_your_ machine uses uses a different ...

Until I see 120Hz refresh rates,at least 1080p resolution,LED backlights and less dead pixels I'm not thinking of buying an LCD. CRTs can still do much better: 1536p resolution,better contrast and colors,no lag,no dead pixels. (OK,there's the huge Apple Cinema HD display,but its price is far from af...

<3 Sexy Parodius: Check out Koitsu's barrier - its hilarious

...and there's no Parodius without the Takoyaki

Is it possible to "fix" (reserve) a local port so a certain application can always connect from that _local_ port when connecting to the internet? (for a client Windows XP machine) When connecting several times to a remote computer (e.g. internet),the local port is incremented by 1 every t...

Just *hold* the F8 button all the time,no need to do 'button mashing'

Best AV IMO.The freeware version beats even the much praised NOD32
