Members Alndln2 Posted August 28, 2006 Members Share Posted August 28, 2006 Looks like a new line featurin AMD 64 procs. The article mentions something about running old games so I gather it's a modified OS of theirs, but I'm not sure since the article is incomplete. Dr. T's at breakneck speeds anyone?

Members protues9 Posted August 28, 2006 Members Share Posted August 28, 2006 it'sd better be running it's own OS and not just be branded. Ither than that i'll stick with my laptop and c64.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members protues9 Posted August 29, 2006 Members Share Posted August 29, 2006 isnt that because they have some financial work around and that's why 99% of banks are based out of there? I had a friend who works for HSBC tell me something of the sort, just I forgot what.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry D. I believe my brother's 8th grade class bought the middle school their first PET computer back in 1978. A few years later I entered highschool to a new student lab filled with Apple IIe's, external floppy drives ( 5 1/4" and one 7", IIRC) and color monitors. I wrote all kinds of goofy, BASIC graphics programs. We bought a Commodore Plus 4, then a C64. I didn't really program for it, but after the ungodly long cassette tape program loads we could play Jumpman, Racing Destruction Set (That was a good one!) and Summer Games. There was also an extreme sports version called California Games with Skateboard half-pipe, Frisbee, Hacky Sack, Surfing, and several other events. Man I'd love to play some of those games again.

Members MorePaul Posted August 29, 2006 Members Share Posted August 29, 2006 Originally posted by fantasticsound Man I'd love to play some of those games again. there are some EMUs out there -- I think the popular C64 one is called "VICE" The "Asimov" (I think it comes from Apple->Netwon->Issac->Asimov) collection contains ][ resource - though there are certainly others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fantasticsound Posted August 29, 2006 Members Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks. I already searched for them after finding free downloads of California Games. Unfortunately, download is in .D64 format, which I can't find an emulator to run it, and the other is just that game with no emulator shell necessary. Unfortunately it crashed my computer. Oh, well... Maybe I'll figure out what the problems are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MorePaul Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 I prob won't matter that much, but what processor family? Out of curiosity, what Emu crashed your box? (edit : whoops, Ok I misread - it sounds like the game that crashed the box had the emu inbuilt...wonder if it's a Direct X version conflict) I'll ask around a bit someone pointed me to this list http://www.robohara.com/?p=364 I'm not sure what the current IP status of any particular game is -- I'd prob suggest D/L the game for archive and try to contact the author (maybe check if it was a registered copyright) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fantasticsound Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 The Processor is a Pentium 4 2.8GHz with a modest, 512MB of RAM. I don't remember where I found the self-running version of California Games. I couldn't find a text file from the creators of this version.

Members MorePaul Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 I was more concerned with the chipset than the clock speed (as you are going to have plenty of horsepower to run an emu of a 65xx series processor running at a blistering 1mhz or so -- I was more concerned with the emu maybe calling some low-level instructions through Direct-X or some such) The WinVice emu can, apparently (I have not tried, nor have I heard back from my guys in the know, just from a little texst) run D64, but I think there are some "direct disk emulation" issues (possibly attached to nibble based copy protection of the day??? dunno just a guess there.)

Members fantasticsound Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks. I didn't see support for (or against) D64 for VICE. I tried using CCS64, but it couldn't see the D64 files (It sees only tape or cartridge files) so I assume there's no way to load them in CCS64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
