S3 didn't disappear after the Savage series! Quite the contrary, they would continue on under VIA with the Chrome series, starting with DeltaChrome. Then came GammaChrome, and...........no one wanted to review it. Until now! https://t.co/g5uHjtnIsK

I was looking up some history behind the x86-64 transition, particularly around the Pentium 4 time frame, and I found out that Bob Colwell (Pentium Pro chief architect) has been posting on Quora. Pentium 4 had a version of x86-64 that was fused off.

So update on last night's shenanigans: -New board allows CD-ROMs and I got more games including Tomb Raider to work -Put the P75S back in, Voodoo still wouldn't work in Win95 -Swapped the 2D card...now it works! -Results in Quake 1&2 are... mediocre. DOS Glide is way smoother

Screw it, let's put a REAL socket 7 board in this system

All I wanted to do was stick a 3dfx Voodoo into a slow Pentium machine and see what happens. But retro PCs will be retro PCs.... https://t.co/FmKaTrSj8K

Oh my god look at these custom cases! That's hilarious

Flabbergasted that Steve Gibson felt it was necessary to release a new version of SpinRite after 20 years, which was useful in the MFM/RLL days, but effectively snakeoil once IDE came out. For giggles, booting it from floppy on my i9-13900k system with 40TB of attached storage.

I ported a USB DisplayLink driver to the ISA PicoGUS card so I could use it to watch MS-DOS games make changes to the VGA palette in realtime.

Hurricane Helene has devastated parts of North Carolina. As you may know, our fellow tech friend, LGR, was affected by this storm. 🙏For every retweet this posts gets, I will donate $1 to relief efforts. (Please check the replies for more ways you can help!)

almost no cell signal but maybe this’ll work 2 trees destroyed my roof, living/dining room, flooded my LGR collection rooms down below a dozen or more trees down in frontyard, no way yet to get equipment in to remove trees, roof hole is too big & unstable to put a tarp over it

An update from Clint (@lazygamereviews), he’s safe but things are really rough. Please keep him in your thoughts.

#Doom 64 running on a Sega #Dreamcast with full per-vertex dynamic lighting and bump mapping, now featuring dynamic geometry tessellation upon loading a level to increase the triangle counts of the environments, improving lighting quality over just using the original, low-poly

Yaaaay!!

Democracy is not a spectator's sport. In these troubled times, you can't stand on the sidelines. You can't remain silent. Truth matters. Democracy matters. Equality matters. That's why this election, I'm voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Our future matters. So go and vote!

I found a video for @RiksRandomRetro

Some video BIOSes were just extra. ✨

I didn't even know Dreamcast could do bumpmapping :O
