Re: Never use 2 spaces after a period???

I learned to double-space in college, where many professors prescribed to the double-space edict and required papers to be typed a certain way. If a paper didn't follow the edict, it was rejected. Double-spacing was also reinforced by programming, where white-space is a good thing and helps readabi...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

Went ahead and downloaded the most recent drivers from Intel and installed them, which promptly bluescreened and rebooted the laptop. As soon as it booted back up I tried again for giggles, and it installed the second time. Rebooted again after successful install and scummvm worked in full-screen. :...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

Yes, all I know is that it says "Intel(R) HD Graphics" ... I can look into updated drivers, but if there are other options that'd be great. A "generic" mode support for instance. Given that I won't really know what computer I'll always be on... Thanks for the help.. will report back if I learn anyth...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

I see some ScummVM posts that the graphics lib they're currently using has fullscreen problems, and that a new rewrite should be better but isn't available yet. Also, Windows Update doesn't believe newer drivers exist for my graphics driver. Since this is my work machine, I'm reluctant to start chan...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

Yes I used your standalone installer.. It's not "erroring out" though. Everything works great. It's just the windows "feature" that tells me that the graphics mode is less than optimal.. well duh... but I can't find a way to tell windows, "be quiet and let me use the resolution that I want to use!!"...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

I'm trying ScummVM in Win7 for KQ6win, but when I try to go fullscreen Windows kicks me out with a stupid "Not Optimal Screen Resolution" balloon popup window.. Argh!! Does anyone know how to get ScummVM fullscreen without Windows kicking you out just because it's not the 'optimal screen resolution?...

Re: So I'm looking at getting a Nintendo DS... but which fla

Game preference isn't the topic here. It's the overall longevity of the console. And technically, the topic is: looking at getting a Nintendo DS... but which flavor? Which I believe I answered by saying, whatever his gaming preference is. ;) I have to side with Tawmis on this argument... :) For my ...

Wow ... that's pretty cool on both counts (PS2 and CD-i)!

I found one of there a month or so back, but wasn't sure if it goes into the fine details of sound drivers. I will have to go back and have another look though. thanks for the reminder.

iPod, iPad, iPhone, Android... I know next to nothing about any of them. My sister whom I only see a few times per year has an iPod and I've seen her watch movies and surf the web with it ... My sister-in-law has an Android phone that I've watched some YouTube videos on.. And that is the extent of m...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

Thank you all for such enlightening conversation! I know nothing about MIDI patch tables and what not, nor how I would go about setting any of them up. I'm all for it (I have legal original purchased copies of both Win31 and WFW311), but it sounds like for now the installer's ScummVM installation fo...

Re: Kings Quest Collection - In High Rez (KQ6)?

The higher rez dialog images are with the Windows version of the game, which is 16-bit, so will not run on 64-bit Windows as is. The good news is the Windows version is now supported by ScummVM. The latest version of the stand alone KQ6 installer from here will set it up with ScummVM, but the colle...

Re: So I'm looking at getting a Nintendo DS... but which fla

There is a throttle on the 3DS to exaggerate or completely remove the depth of the 3D display. I'm definitely getting me one of those if only for the remakes of Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64. I've been wanting to get a new DS (I only have the original DSPhat) but all the upgrades just don't seem ...

Re: So I'm looking at getting a Nintendo DS... but which fla

Since I only own a CD-i I'm hardly in the position to comment on gaming consoles of any kind, but I'd like to state something obvious: don't get a 3D dealie if you can't see 3D. It took me 17 years to discover I can't see depth and it could have gone undetected much longer. Before that I've wasted ...

So I'm looking at getting a Nintendo DS... but which flavor?

Title says it all.. I was hoping a gaming community like this place would be able to provide me some really good "oh I hadn't thought of that yet" opinions on the matter... :) I guess I'll give a ( lengthy! ) background... I currently have a Gameboy Advance SP with a dozen or so great games (zeldas,...
