Never understood why it was "Classic"? Since it was the new version after the Quake mod.
They where released just 6 months apart [0], [1]. I'll take the "lower" quality quake 3D models over Duke 3Ds 2D sprites any day :)

Re:Native Amiga Filesystems on macOS / Linux / Windows with FUSE on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @03:41PM (#46532350)
exFAT or UDF?
Seems like it only works in zsh, not bash or fish

Thank you!

Anyone remember a software to generate images such as these?

I think it was called something like Terralogic Texture Maker (ttm.exe) and I've been looking for it for years.

What makes this different from regular md? I'm not familiar with unRAID.

What tracker? I need something like this, I've around 1600 games on steam and need a way to keep track.

Still not able to generate a "Italo disco, sea shanty". Me and my friends have been trying since v3 somthing.

Wish it had a fps limiter so I could see what's going on.

Ask HN: Any songs that uses HRTF?

HRTF[0] or Head-related transfer function can make sound appear to be coming from anywhere in 3D space.Are there any songs that uses this?There are some impressive demoes on youtube[1] that demonstrate this, but are there any music specifically made for HRTF?0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkEpn_r-d0I

Really needs a framerate limiter, at 360 Hz it's just a flickering mess.
If you want something more advanced, check out Furnace tracker. It supports nearly every 8/16 bit sound chip. And you can combine them in the same song.

So if you ever wanted to do a track combining a Mega Drive with a NES; it is possible.

It's pretty common. Valve is now banning certain keyboards from CS2.
Re:Language for 2D shmups bullet-hell patterns on Thursday August 15, 2024 @12:35AM (#41253102)
Seems to be vsync-based. Would make the laundry pattern very hard at 360Hz :)
Re:The Linux audio stack demystified on Friday July 26, 2024 @05:14PM (#41082330)
Yeah, IMHO the best audio linux has ever was with OSS v3 and a soundcard that did hardware mixing. No software mixers like ESD or ARtS were needed.
Re:VDEv2: Virtual Distributed Ethernet on Sunday July 07, 2024 @08:31PM (#40901632)
I wish this had a way to hook up to a Hyper-V Virtual Switch. That way I could get 86box on a the network reliably, SLiRP and PCap works badly imho.

Anyone knows where the API docs for hyper-v virtual switch is?

I've wanted to try one of these together with my steamdeck for a long time.

Do they offer international key layouts yet (Swedish specifically)?

Also i find the dimensions a bit funny, 320x240 :)

Re:Running DOS Apps on Windows from 1.0 to 95 (2020) on Saturday April 13, 2024 @06:35AM (#40022040)
A bit off topic, but does anyone know if you can do asynchronous disk access somehow in dos?

I'm writing a game and it would be nice to load resources for the next level in the background.

> Swapped fn and Ctrl

Finally! I hope they do the same for the X-series, so I can justify the upgrade from my old X280.

bigclive has a video over at youtube on how to build one.
