    The end of Windows XP and my next move.

    That debugger looks interesting, hadn't seen it before. Regarding savestates I already use the same feature in vmware but for testing drivers the only way without resorting to megahacks is to reboot the VM (and for Vista+ pray you are in a state where signed driver enforcement is disabled or you...

    The end of Windows XP and my next move.

    After many many years of being the undefeated champion, XP remains my primary OS even today. This despite having used Win7 at various points since the first day of the public beta including every day at work for a year now. Win8 has also not compelled me to switch. Through the years Linux and...

    Gaming Which Windows OS runs best Poll!

    ME runs pretty good. I mean you do get the occasional BSOD but only if you're doing out-of-the-ordinary stuff like connecting a USB device, increasing your volume with the volume up button on your keyboard or trying to print something.

    Know Your Temps: Guild McCommunist

    Why do you get mad when people bash Sony only because it's Sony when you are yourself at a point where you bash anything from Japan just because it's from Japan? (I actually have my own answer to this, that this forum needs some anti-weeaboo to cancel out some of the excess wapanese, but I'd...

    Help With Making a Patch?

    Well, optimally some recon would be done to see which approach would be most suitable. If the static resources of a program turn out to be encrypted, of a non-standard format or otherwise messy you could potentially get away with a lot less work by not messing with the static resources at all...

    Help With Making a Patch?

    One approach has been overlooked in this thread so far: instead of hex editing/messing with the game files in any way the English text could simply be drawn on screen. This could be achieved in a variety of ways, here are some: Create a launcher.exe which injects a DLL into the game hooking a...

    Child Pornography case that caused 3DS DoA sale ban finally over

    No, this would thankfully not be possible in any western country. A photograph of a real child is not a work you created and even if someone would claim it is that is irrelevant because the law is specifically about crafted work (read the link in the post you are quoting if you want the details...

    Child Pornography case that caused 3DS DoA sale ban finally over

    You're entitled to have your own opinion on whether possesion of images of non-existing fictional minors should be illegal or not, but please spend at least two seconds looking at the context before openly speculating about whether Lundström is a pedophile who would commit the crime of possesing...

    Child Pornography case that caused 3DS DoA sale ban finally over

    Not sure why you would draw the conclusion that he drew them as it is nowhere said that he did, he simply had them on his harddrive. Ironically he could not have even have been convicted in the first place had he drawn the images himself, as according to the Swedish law on child pornography the...

    Child Pornography case that caused 3DS DoA sale ban finally over

    :arrow: DN (Swedish, excerpt above translated by me.) For those unfamiliar with Lundströms case, it has been the cause of much debate between supporters and non-supporters of child pornography laws for fictional and virtual content. Specifically of interest to this forum could be that it was...

    Clang: Kickstarter for a Realistic Sword Fighter

    But the actual real question is, will Clang be compiled with Clang?

    brawl or melee?

    For the event matches I can at least maybe see where you are coming from, but adventure mode? That shit is so vastly inferior to Brawl's SSE that it's ridiculous. The reality of the matter is that zero thought was put into Melee's single player whereas a lot was put into Brawl's. I'm not saying...

    brawl or melee?

    Brawl single player rapes Melee single player, why people argue against that I don't know. It's also cool to have better graphics, more stages and more side content all of which Brawl offers. But when it comes to comparing the actual gameplay, the actual fighting, the significant mechanic...

    brawl or melee?

    Do you play Smash? If you didn't know of its existence already, you should check out this forum, Sweden (and Norway, Denmark, Finland and many other farther away European countries) actually has a very active smash community with players of all skill levels, including complete beginners and the...

    Gaming Diablo 3

    This might be a good thing to do later on for nightmare etc, but definitely not for normal that you must still be playing if you are level 18. On Normal you won't die even if you just stand and tank the incoming damage, especially not if you use the life steal skill that also increases hatred...
