Bought an X68000 for the kids so they can use it for simple homework. Have it set up to run wifi and the signal is strong. But youtube videos, even at 480, are very choppy and incoherent.
Does anyone know a way to get youtube to work better on the default browser? Do I need a different browser?
Is there any use for JPCs anyway outside hentai games and weeb dating sims? I never thought those had any kind of decent software library and you can't find any info about them in English.

It's mostly weeb hipsters.

When Apple tried to target the professional server/workstation market with machines that had no memory protection.
Jose Mitchell
>machines that had no memory protection. The machines had support for memory protection. The OS did not. Not that it was even that big of a deal when programs you ran wheren't coded by two dozen people who had no idea what they where doing.

>The machines had support for memory protection. The OS did not. Which was why it was a dumb idea to pitch them as an alternative to Unix in the workstation market.
Nolan Carter
Which is why Apple had A/UX but ultimately failed though.

The X68k was a machine for action games and perfect arcade ports, not just VNs.
Eh? The CoCo had standard MS BASIC included in the system ROM.
Hudson Taylor
That's epic. Us gamers need to preserve this gaming tech for gamers of future generations. I love retro gaming, the wife has been on to me about collecting too many gaming CRT TVs, but she doesn't understand retro gaming culture.

Fluttershy doesn't count as a wife, you know.
Isaac Hughes
I love gamer banter. We are friends.
Justin Brooks
I believe the reference "before" model isn't the same as op's one
Cooper Allen
That ad is actually making a few asspulls. The built-in ROM BASIC on the CoCo doesn't have any disk support, but if you got a disk drive and the controller cartridge, it had the ROM-based Extended Color BASIC built in. Which is more or less the same thing as the ROM DOS on Commodore disk drives. And Commodore BASIC actually had no built-in disk commands, you just had to type inane shit like OPEN15,8,15:PRINT#15,"S:FILENAME":CLOSE15 (this particular command deletes a file).
William Price
They also ignore the fact that the VIC-20 had the smallest screen resolution out of all those machines.

I've been curious to ask for a while, can you guys give an inventory of cool old computers you own?
>Is there any use for JPCs anyway? Yes, if you actually like old computers. > I never thought those had any kind of decent software library They have though. Just because you can't be damned to use google doesn't mean it doesn't exist. >you can't find any info about them in English. That was 20 years ago, and some of them like the MZ series did get localized here and had some following too so I can get my infos in my native language. Same for MSX machines. Also >weeb dating sims you should listen to pic related and leave this website.
If you didn't understand that the pic mean people complaining about """weeb""" stuff should go to reddit instead of staying here you should worry about your reading comprehension.
Benjamin Lee
Who was complaining?
Isaac Robinson
Maybe ten years ago. Not any more.

anyone know how 3dfx cards handled vsync in glide or opengl? I never remember screen tearing being an issue when I had my voodoo2, but as soon as I got a riva tnt and played quake 2, I was shocked when I first saw the screen tear.
Did 3dfx just enable it by default at the driver level or something? I still have nightmares to this day.
Nolan Nelson
The point of VSync is to keep your FPS below your refresh rate to eliminate tearing. It does not work when the average FPS is actually under the refresh rate, you'll get tearing with VSync also. VSync can be set with an environmental value or in the 3dfx control panel.
Blake Torres
only redditards force this meme. Weebshit never went away and it's never going away. Only redditards want it to go away. Only redditards use the "it was a long time ago" reasoning
Wyatt Smith
Ignore and enjoy the idea that they get triggered each time they see 2D on Jow Forums.
Parker Long
That's borderline abuse
Ayden Gutierrez
the fuck? Vsync still works if the fps is under your refresh rate.
Cooper Bell
Yes, but it cuts to half of the refresh rate, that can be objectively *worse* than running it with slight tearing.
I.e. a game runs at 55 FPS on average on a 60Hz display. VSync will sync it to 30FPS, half of the refresh rate to get rid of tearing (because the game is not running on average over 60 FPS).
Austin Carter
not if you use triple buffering
Grayson Brown
That will also kill your latency.

>finally open up the old IBM 5150 I've had for years >MF-100 card has a leaking barrel battery that's all over the card
Thankfully the only corrosion on the motherboard seems to be localized to an empty socket. Not sure what to do with the card though, not sure if it can be saved since it looks like the corrosion has gotten into the board and it seems to be flaking up. The memory bank looks fine though and all those chips are socketed anyways.
On that note, if I get this thing working what all can I do with a 5150? The monitor I have is monochrome but it's got a color graphics card on board.

>get free Atari ST >don't own a monitor to connect it to
Ethan Johnson
If you don't mind using the hi-res monochrome mode, there's the option of getting/making (good luck finding a male DIN 13 plug) an adapter to hook a PC SVGA monitor to it. Otherwise, know that you can use Amiga or any other 15kHz analog RGB monitors with it. You'll just need to find the cable for that.
