A shame the Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow glitchless speedrun at AGDQ was streamed with the video game footage captured at 30FPS. It's passable to look at until he gets the zoom skill.

RAM: 16GB (2x8GB or 1x16GB). Unless you're video, audio or image editing you're unlikely to need more than 16GB of RAM for anything (heck 8GB is still plenty for all but the latest AAA publisher games).

CPU: If you can't find the AMD A10-6800B CPU proposed by creaothceann than a CPU upgrade may necessitate a Motherboard upgrade (and a change to RAM compatible with the new motherboard). For most emulators the CPU should have the biggest performance impact.

GPU: Nvidia Geforce 1060/2060 6GB or better. A recent dedicated video card is important because it has dedicated memory (VRAM) for a notable performance increase over an integrated video device, the GPU itself is much more powerful on a dedicated video card and they have much more robust drivers than what AMD and Intel CPU's integrated video chips have. Emulation of more modern gaming consoles (Dolphin, PCSX2) can rely heavily on the performance of both the GPU & CPU (especially the GPU if you intend to render graphics above the normal resolution).

With an SSD you should put the O/S on it for the most meaningful performance improvement, then maybe some games with long load times like Dragon Age: Inquisition for example.

You could try going to the Windows Control Panel > Power Settings > change to High Performance profile (not one supplied by your PC manufacturer, I mean the High Performance Profile that Microsoft provides).

In this edition of "OH NO MOZILLA YOU DIDN'T~~!":

- Recent editions of Firefox come with a screenshot tool that unlike your trusty Print Screen key, can actually take full page screenshots without requiring to splice up partial shots on Paint (or your favorite equivalent). You can optionally upload the screenshot to Mozilla servers and share it with your friends or whatever. Except for the "optionally" bit: when you hit "Save" after taking the screenshot, it will NOT be saved to a .png file to your HDD as you would expect. No way Jose, that's not how things are done in the post-PC age! Firefox will first upload the screenshot to Mozilla (without your explicit consent!), THEN it will download it back to your PC. You can't make this shit up: Mozilla is uploading your screenshots (maybe with personal/confidential information) to their mothership without even bothering to tell you! All while wasting precious bandwidth for a operation that should be done locally without the intervention of any computer network! Apparently the UXtards call this a "dark pattern" (once again, a stupid term that means everything but that for the rest of the world - a proper term would be "SHIT IMPLEMENTATION"), and after "months of complaints", Mozilla is finally backing down and removing this undesired behavior.


You'll likely find they're dropping support for the function because Windows 10 v1809 supports the same Screenshot functionality (but without the Cloud shit), press Print Screen on the keyboard and drag/resize a box around whatever you want to screenshot and click the on-screen confirm button (Enter also works for confirmation). iirc you may need to enable the following setting if you upgraded from an older version of the O/S: PC Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard > Print Screen Shortcut.

Well if you read the website it sounds like Firefox will upload the image and then you have to manually download the image somehow as a separate step.

Anybody heard of https://www.gog.com/game/tanglewoodr? A 2018 game designed for the Sega Genesis and then ported to PC... (so it might be an awful port :P)

No clue if the PC version includes a unprotected copy of the game ROM to allow you to use an emulator of your choice.

1) Do the impossible and implement a way to get Forum Title to line up with General (Or just delete the Forum Title text I suppose): https://imgur.com/a/IbFZhFm

2) Start topic and sub-forum page names with the areas name instead of BBoard >>, so Discussion sub-forum appears as Discussions in the browser tab, this reply page appears as New Reply and this topic when read appears as "Board feature requests/suggestions" etc. The forum has an interesting icon to distinguish it among other tabs so you can better use the text space.

Dammit, Firefox 65 made the Default theme similar to the Light Theme -_-" also if you used userChrome.css to move the Tab Bar below the other toolbars you'll need to update it with the relevant CSS snippet found on this website: https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html

Does anyone here know the CSS for replicating this Firefox 64 Default Theme look? https://imgur.com/8W4ogh9 Currently both Default and Light themes in Firefox 65 make it impossible to tell at a glance which Tab is currently being viewed (inactive tabs aren't dimmed enough), and I hate the entire UI being a glob of the same colour.

Thanks, but that seemingly doesn't let you assign different colours to each toolbar.

While I can see the merit in this, it's not for me.

Oooh okay Wareya, that's a definite improvement. I got 3 questions:

1) How do you colour the Tab Bar independent of other Toolbars (Custom Background only affects Menu Bar it seems)?
2) How do you adjust the colour of inactive tabs?
3) What is "Background Colour"? When I adjust it the background for that website changes but seemingly nothing in the Firefox UI changes...

Nevermind I've found info for adjusting the colour of inactive tabs, now to figure out how to adjust the colour of the Tab toolbar: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/732nr4/change_color_of_inactive_tabsurl_bar_in_ff57/

What does the lock button on the top bar do? Does it do the same thing as "keep me signed in"?
I don't see the option, is it not present while already using HTTPS?

ah really? Have I to create a "settings.bml" file in the same folder where i put the .exe file of the emulator and in this way when i run THAT .exe file, Higan will use settings specific for that installation? Will the settings.bml file saved in %LOCALAPPDATA% be ignored?

thanks

As for posts per page, this has been configurable on almost all board software I've ever used, this being a noticeable exception. As I recall, on many boards there's a "jump to last post" button, which calculates which page it's on and links to /threadX/pageY#lastPostID. Anyhow, it's not something you'd need JS to implement.


Wouldn't that break if users have different number of posts per page configured and share a link between each other?
