    Gfx Card Test

    Ok... now for something intresting. This little proggie I made will check the capabilities of your gfx card. It might be intresting to see what everyones' cards support. Note, however, that not even I know not what all these functions are used for :whistling but some I know. The more supported...

    3d math

    Righty-o, so my next question was concerning 3d math. I'd like to know how to calculate normals in vertices for use with complex operations such as lightning. I know that each vertices takes an x,y and z value for normal. So what would I do to calculate these? Speaking of this, anyone know a...

    Recovering lost data

    Alright, so my harddisks are in need of repair. On one of them, there were two partitions: one primary FAT32 and one logical NTFS. However, windows has formatted this partition wrong. The primary FAT32 partition was about 40 gb although it was only supposed to cover 4 gb. And now the rest of the...

    Over optimization

    I was kinda wondering here...has anyone experienced the compiler optimizing "too much" when using c++? At least the compiler I'm using, as MSVC++.net. Because I'm having trouble with its over-optimization. Now I don't remember much asm, so I don't really know how to fix it. The thing is, that...

    Wonderswan tech

    I was wondering if anyone had any wonderswan tech info. I need to know how the input works. I know it reads port $B5, but the result of the returned bits does not match between the documentation and the source (oswan). So I'm pretty stuck here. I want to add support for the Y-pad of the...

    Tooltips

    Was wondering on how to implemt tooltips? It's something I'd wish to do... The thing is, I can't get it working properly. To me it seems that the tooltips will only appear if set to a handle assigned to a window (not label controls and such which are concidered child windows). So...how does one...

    SDL vs DirectInput

    What's the diffrence between these? From what I know, SDL is available both to windows and linux...but that's mostly what I know. I don't have the knowledge to modify SDL code, either...I don't have a documentation. Although I could easily find one I guess. But my main question stands before I...

    Emulator timing & debugging

    Ok, so I have two more questions: How do you usually emulate timing in an emulator? I mean, what's the general principle so I can understand how it's done. Usually, the documentations only says like "using processor type X running at Y Mhz" which isn't very much info if you don't know...

    DVD & Tv-Out

    I was wondering because about how to use TV-Out functions while playing dvds. I would want to see the dvds on my tv...but...as we know, there's the protection. Using tv tool, I've gotten it working somewhat. The screen's hue still lights up and down all the time (not often, though), so that's...

    Back buffer format?

    For you d3d gurus out there, I have a little question... what the hell is backbuffer format and what good are they all? The coumentation explains shortly what every does (like 8 bit green, red, 1 bit alpha, etc). Not what they are needed for, nor what they represent. I've found a working format...

    Message pump

    I was wondering because I've been trying to do it forever now... how is the message pump done? The one that translates and dispatches messages from the applications message quene? Looking at a normal, non-MFC app, it looks like this: while( PumpMessage(...) ) { TranslateMessage(...)...

    Timer issues

    Umm, I was wondering something. Of course, I know how to install and use timers. However, the probles lies not in there. I wish to use an infinite loop that would run about a second. Due to the diffrent speeds of computers, I can't make it count the loops and stop after a chosen amount...

    Keys send

    Ok just wondering what how you send keys like the vb command "sendkeys" in c++ without utilizing the .net classes? IMO, you have to disable a lot of good things to use those stupid managed classes. Perhaps the sendmessage api? Also...I had some problems using the Get/SetWindowText apis...I...

    Computer hangup -_-

    As the title states, my computer tends to lock itself up after som playing... what I've researched on this is that it only seems to happen to snes emulation... it happens randomly, using any game. N64 seems mostly unaffected. Once it did lockup, and once it locked up after a *very* long...

    Anyone heard of...

    ...this gfx card? I don't know it and it doesn't appear on the local computer company here, so I guess it's old. Well, it's name is: STB VELOCITY 128 What I wonder is, is it DirectX 8.1 compliant and how much vide memory does it have? It's at a friend of mine's computer, which is rather old.

    Lastability

    Just one question... as I have two harddrives. One of them is a little older and, I think, seems to behave a little bad. It takes 100% cpu power to write to that hd as well as that it writes *SLOW*. Whileas the other harddrive has no such problems. Almost no cpu power and 40 mb/s (megabyte)...

    NTSC to PAL

    So...are there any such converters out there that's cheap at the very least? I found an article about one such converted, but it was a little expensive...$515,17. Are there any companies that sells things like these cheap? Either I get one of these or I get another tv. I just wanna know! Thanks.
