GTA 2?!

Hi there ,
ive got a simple question for you
Is it possible that Gta 2 will come out on the G1?!
It would be so great to play my favorite oldschool game on the G1
Thanks and Bye

With some Luck you will be able to play the GTA2 Playstation version in near future with MESS

you can ALREADY play the GAMEBOY version using Kidd gbc...

thats a joke
kiddgbc sucks
10fps
lol.

ive hit around 12, maybe 13, havnt hit 15 yet, even though, its still to laggy for me

i've been waiting for an update since the beginning of kiddGBC the dev claims there's a reason we can't faster, i'll see if i can find the email and put up his reason. if i remember correctly it was that java stuff was missing something

The KiddGBC developer is to silly to run native code on the G1 so his emulator uses only dalvik and so it sucks big time!
It is indeed possible to run native code on the G1 ... the ScummVM emulator and the arcade one does it!

Do I have a decent computer?

Hello, I know this is kind of a dumb question but I had just recently bought this computer off eBay for around $290.00 USD. Everything should be in the picture? If not let me know if there is anything else I can provide you so I can get just a general idea. Thank You SO MUCH!

its nothing special.
mines way better!!!!!
btw: the game!!!

Assuming thats a laptop based off of the T series chip, what brand and model is it... also, what size HDD and what graphics card does it have (onboard or dedicated, model, and memory size)?

1. Laptop? Yes.
2. Brand? HP Compaq.
3. Model? 6910p.
And hopefully the picture should answer the rest of the questions I did not answer, if not tell me what I missed and how can I let you know? Thanks!

for $290 thats not bad at all, seeing as when they came out they retailed for around $1200. you could potentially upgrade the memory to 4gb and then youd have quite a descent machine on your hands for the price you paid.

its a good machine, my rating is around 4, so your around there. Unless you below 2, its all good

How do I know how many slots I have available for RAM, and what RAM I exactly need? I am kinda new to computers but I know there are different types, like there is not just 1 type of 2gb DDR2 RAM..

What you have there is a business laptop. It has an Intel integrated GM965 chipset with integrated video (it sucks but does the job. Don't expect to play Blops at full visuals). Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400 or DDR2 PC2-5300, max 2Gb/slot. It has 2 slots for a maximum of 4Gb
The 6910b is a stalwart laptop, able to take a good bit of abuse. Just don't expect it to be a high-end (or even mid-range) graphics lappy
Yours truly,
[HP engineer]

For $290 its not garbage... its a descent rugged machine. Its not going to play games well, but its more than sufficient for web browsing and listening to music. Why dont you take your negative comments somewhere else.

VMWare?

Basically I want to try MacOSX and I know about VMWare so I just wanna ask what do I need to be able to 'emulate' MacOSX on my XP SP3 PC? The specs of the PC are horrific (2ghz single core, 1gb of RAM) I don't know any of the other specs or what processor etc. it is lol. So can somebody give me some links on how to get VMWare set up and where to get a copy of MacOSX ('legally' for free )
I tried searching the web but I just got confused.
I'm thinking of getting a new iMac but I'm not too sure so I want to try MacOSX before I spend mucho moniez. Thanks.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, You won't be able to use a VM on 1 core?
Also... I doubt there is a working kernel for yourCPU, Just a lucky guess though

Lol I was thinking that with my ****ty hardware it mightn't be possible. Lets just hope.

wmware should be able to run on single core i know virtualbox can so maybe try that
if you have an intel core 2 then most macs have that in so it would be compatible cpu wise although i think vmware emulates a different type of cpu so it may not work the ram may be problematic

Hahha, Okay, Althoguh I do think a VM needs it's own core to run on Also if you do get an iMac, You can always stick Windows on it, Plus... Whatever you get... It will be a huge upgrade haha

Haha too right! I like the iMac the way it's all just packed in to the monitor itself so no need for a tower and I'm thinking of running VMWare to game on Windows then.

*double facepalm* Yeah I was looking at a few other AIO's, but there's just something in my head that I've got my heart set on a iMac now. Will probably have to take out a bankloan off the parents to buy it mind you.

Which? The AMD Athlon? I hope I can atleast run MacOSX just to give me an idea of what it's like. There aren't many Apple stores in Ireland either for whatever reason so I can't go in to an Apple store and check them out.
AFAIK the new iMac uses Intel's new Sandybridge CPU btw.

What to do with my ~15 Years old Laptop

Hi you guys! I just found my old Laptop to be still in working condition.
Pentium MMX, 166.0 MHz
80 MB RAM
800x600, 65536 Colors
TFT LCD
Any ideas on what to do with it? Right now it's running a pretty messed up version of my early LFS experiments...

Try to bribe archer with it for not closing this threadIB4L

Personally, I wouldn't even put that on eBay. It may be demoralising!

Yeah sure I got a lightweight distro on it. but it's still too weak to do anything lol. Selling is won't get me anything I guess either but I dont want to throw it away. and the only thing it can do is edit text and play music, both of which i dont need... hmm i dunno maybe im gonna take it apart for fun.

See if it blends........

Check if Crysis 2 runs on it. Lol

I don't think anything is usable in a 15 year old laptop. I would just destroy the hard drive and throw it out. Not a very green answer but that's all I can come up with at the moment.

Mod it. I've always wanted to take the shell of an old laptop and put my own hw in it. But have it look stock.
