    Uhmm... It is a nice tool even on Windows 7... I will probably use it if I need to upgrade my XP computer.

    That video is pretty old. Also it was a notebook with SSD. I made Lubuntu boots up in about 10-15 seconds with my SATAI Hard Drive. I'm not impressed that Windows 8 can do it so fast in a SSD. I really don't care about how fast the Windows Starts, Remember Millennium Edition? It boots faster than 95/98, but his kernel was a total fail. Windows 8 is *NOT* for low-ends computers. Surface displays are expansive, and Windows 8 seems to only works propiertly with it.

    Who wants another BSOD in appresentation?
  5. Remember to put Windows 98 compatibility if you disable CnC-DDraw, otherwise it will crash due unsupported multi-core (CnC-DDraw fixes it).

    His cooler is a bit noisy Really... As I said before, there is no reason anymore to bring versions for low-cost computer... They don't have a touchscreen! Pretty much like the Engines that they developed (buggy)
  7. Sole Survivor -> No one is patching it yet. There is no server to really PLAY the game. Bug fixing is poingless right now. We need a server first. Hifi is also patching Red Alert. Do not forget him! http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/16536-red-alert-303-p-series/

    Windows Server 2012 got the same interface... seems a spend of resources... Even Server 2008 got most of vista-like visuals off.
  9. Well... It is not possible using the original game engine. It can be done using OpenRA, or anything like that. Red Alert and C&C1 engine can't add units. Mostly C&C1 code are recycled in RA1, so most of TD stuff are probably broken.

    1.06c development topic

    Hey Nyerguds. I got some suggestions: 1°- (I've said before in somewhere as far I can remember) Can you make the crates drop something else than money in Single Player? 2°- Can you make any building turn stealth in a scripting way? (editing the mission INI, for example)
  11. Hello. I just found a way to play Goldeneye 007/Perfect Dark 64 in constant 60fps. As Command & Conquer 64 is programmed like a PC game (there's no fps limiter as far i know), it can be used to run C&C64 in constant 30-60FPS. 1 - Get the 1964 UltraFast Edition and unzip in somewhere. Note: There's a version of that Based in the early version of 1964, on stuck 3x overclock here. It is more stable compared with the new version, but do not support overclock managment. 2- Get the Lastest version of Glide64 and unzip the Plugin Folder directory. Just note to Unzip the Glide3x.dll from the Wrapper folder INSIDE the 1964 folder IF YOU NOT use an voodoo Card from 3dfx. 3- Download the Command & Conquer 64 ROM and place it in somewhere. (you can search that on google) 4- Open 1964, Configure the Plugins, selecting Glide64 as yours Video plugin, and then, configure it. Configure also your controller settings. Remember, it is a N64 Game 5- Load C&C64, Goto Overclock Profile and select your overclock setting. If you are using the early version based on early version of 1964, you do not need to do anything. 6-play! Recommended Hardware: For 2x: Pentium 4 Prescott 3ghz or Atlhon 64 equivalent. 256MB RAM GeForce 6600 , ATI Equivalent For 3x. Core 2 Duo or Atlhon x2 Geforce 6800 or ATI Equivalent For 4x: Phenom X2 or Core-I Equivalent GeForce 8800 or ATI equivalent. Enjoy!
  12. Nop, it is a civillian. Anyway, it is funny to see that he got black head in Nintendo 64. Anyway, you don't need to destroy the tech center in N64, if you kill the Chan outside will make you win.
  13. There is a "Scientist" outside the tech center in the Nintendo 64 version of C&C. I will play this mission again to confirm
  14. Maybe it is better explain how bitmap works 1st. Bitmap will store every pixel of the image by it's color. That mean not a huge file for 2-bits or 8-bits image, but yes for a 24-bits image, since it will store 3 bytes per pixel. Worst for 32-bits (4 bytes), first because most monitors, even nowdays do not support all 32-bits colors, and it is just a 24-bits with 8-bits alpha chanels. Remember that your monitor can't get transparent There are 2 advantages about using bitmap: - Perfect precision. - Low-requirements cost for opening and loading it. (if it is in your harddrive, of course).

    Where is Brazil? Where is Antartica?
  16. Take a look at your conquer.ini, you must see Width=640 Height=400 If it is not like that, just edit it. now take a look at the ddraw.ini windowed=False save and run the game. that works for me. I dislike those configuration tools... Even made by awesome guys.

    How to convert Brasilian plugs to international: 1- Get a pincher 2- Pull the middle plug out. In most, they are only glueded on the plastic. 3- Repeat to all connectors. 4- give a f*** to those bastards and make a International plug everywhere

    Heh... Just disable a lot of unecessay services in Windows. XP got some, vista and 7 got a lot! I just keep my eye in the task manager... Using mutch CPU? is it necessary? no? KILL IT!
  20. Heh... Take a look at this: Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 3.06ghz 1GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS I am in no condition of waiting, but i'm still waiting to the end of this year to take a look for something that really rocks!
  21. It is not a common card where do I live. But since it is a geForce based, it should do it, and very well Well... Isn't better you wait for the new DirectX 11.1 that will come with Windows 8, and buy a card compatible with it?

    Apple-OSing on Non Apple? Go get Ubuntu and leave our Windows alone! Well... let's wait for the final version, but i doubt that things will change there.

    Even computers from three years ago can run 64-bits code wihout problems. most of Atoms can run 64-bits. Same go to newest Semptroms Wait... Mine is from 2005 and it actually CAN run it. I'm not saying that microsoft need to stop supporting 32-bits OS, but they could push a 64-bits only Windows 8. About the low-end computers: There is no reason for Windows 8 supporting those... It is designed for Touchscreen computers, and those one just got a mouse. Is Windows 8 using an updated NT Kernel, or it still in NT6 kernel?

    Windows 8... Again

    Microsoft still investing in x86? meh... we broke almost all limitation of x86 Windows that it is just ridiculous keep supporting it. Even more ridiculous make it requiring PAE to work... 32-bits OSs should die, and Microsoft is waiting so much for that. I doubt that a inversiment like that is worst injury than Windows Millennium, or Vista. That interface is confuse. But it isn't a problem. Win3 to 95 was also a big change. But I am sure that a lot of users won't upgrade it due this Interface. Tablet Windows is... a good ideia if there are intel x64 compatible tablets. Windows ARM don't see to be an advantage, Microsoft removed the new office exclusivity for it, and if microsoft force the users to use Silverlight, Internet Explorer, or any other crap like that, then get a Android. I've heart that Windows 8 require a compatible BIOS to activate... If it somehow write stuff in BIOS, we are all screwed. Wait for some virus bypass the Windows Security and mess the BIOS up... So, just waiting the result... I can be wrong.
