11·5 months agoDon’t blame the writers, some of whom are long dead, and some titles are long out of print.
4·5 months agoYes, I did try to install it on Windows.
Still, that really disqualifies it from being open source…
Like “free” software requiring installation of weird browser toolbars back in the day. I still have nightmares about those things.
Requires installation of weird undefined “CutoutPro” shit.
That’s a nope from me, dawg.
The full disc images worked well, and hard drive space is so cheap these days, that I’d worry about getting the virtual drive emulator working first.
WinCDEmu is FOSS, so you might look into that first.
Back in the day, I bought Alcohol 120, and it worked great.
The mini-CD image trick (optional): https://forum.daemon-tools.cc/forum/copy-methods-questions-daemon-tools/general-copy-discussion/4900-
Those no-disc patches can be sketchy and infected, so watch out!
My preferred way to play games without CDs was virtual disc emulators, so you can store a copy of your game disc on your hard drive, and virtually pop that game’s CD image into the virtual drive in when you want to play that specific game.
One good trick with these, is that you don’t even need a full copy of the disc: There was some trick to creating a very small disc image that just has enough information to get past the game’s copy protection, but it’s been well over 2 decades since I did any of that, so you’ll have to do your own research.
I have also noticed some dips in brightness in some shows.
Sounds like an encoding problem, or some sort of form of copy protection in the streamed video that screws up the encoding algorithms, like the old Macrovision copy protection on VHS tapes.
What does VLC have to do with piracy?
It’s just a media player, right?
Could be a double meaning and mean both.
I always wondered where the name came from. I always assumed it was a real person, like craigslist.
That it’s short for Anarchist’s archive makes a lot more sense.
Usually x264 rips are available faster than x265, due to slower encoding time for x265, so depends on how long you want to wait vs download time and HD space.
The sites that I see get x264 first, then x265 of the same shows some hours later.
nyaa for anime
sukebei.nyaa for nsfw Japanese media
no account needed for either of those.
I still run official eMule on Windows 10, even though it hasn’t been updated in 13 years.
I understand that aMule, a fork of xMule, has relatively active development, and was last updated 2 years ago.
Limewire is gone, but ED2K is very much alive, and pretty darned good for finding older files.
Nope, never heard of it! Thanks!
I’ll have to look up more about that.
Why would you want to make a Linux phone from scratch? Why not just hack the firmware for existing phones to install Linux?
Azure is MS’s cloud computing. As long as you weren’t using MS OneDrive, or 365 Office, or something else that relied on MS cloud, you’re good.
