A "simple" example can just have some DLIs for character set changes. Is there something I am missing or have boldly misstated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 While I much prefer my 256 colour scrolling 320*480 VBXE version, that is cheating and not what this thread is about. So here's the stock machine's 65 colour attempt (background was removed - there was no way it would convert with it in place).

LOL 😅 Yup, it's such a copied and distinct game type, it has become it's own genre. Makes sense really. Same as having a space invaders genre, or a lemmings genre if you think about it.

I've never seen it go above 80C which to me is crazy hot, but as soon as the CPU load goes away, the temps fall very quickly. A minute later I was almost back down to 60C and two minutes later 52C.

Rybags Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 80 isn't a lot for a modern CPU. Throttling is at 100 (95 I think for Ryzen?) My 14 core i5-14600KF can hit 100 on air fairly quickly, I generally do encodes and RC type work with a conservative thread allocation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, my last water cooled PC was from perhaps 18 years ago. But - this is when air cooled would maybe hit 65C-75C, and my water cooled rig would never go more than 5C above ambient at 100% load. I am not keeping up with the times it would seem!

Rybags Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 These are on core sensor temps too - back in the Athlon XP/Pentium 4 days the reading was usually from a motherboard sensor in the middle of the CPU socket so would read somewhat lower than the actual CPU die would have been.

For all the rest, better call Saul, ahem, better call @nobody maybe he can add these titles to the games. Yes, I know there is already a version of Elektraglide with a new title screen, but it's the US Gold version, English Software version here I haven't found a version of Donkey Kong with this title screen.

+StaxX28 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Integrator has always worked for me with Rasta executables. And even if it doesn't work with the added game, the Rasta image still displays. In this case, you must use another game file version (if available) for this to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
