but so dvi and 1920x1080 works just fine on any full hd tv?

Tho I was looking in a folder and there where a few tv's in it and some said "pc support" and others didn't... But maybe I should ask more info in the store..

Quote from Graeme43 :It works pretty well (smooth ) for me on my Mac Pro but I only have a 7300GT check the attached image




Same thing as moving a file

How many fps do you have?

But tho I like working on my mac but when it comes to gaming... windows still has the upper hand I guess cause for example when you play a Mac game (like flatout 2) you can't for example alt + tab to see who disturbed you on msn.. You have to close the game to do anything else.. unless it's ran in a window.

So well now I'm saving money to buy a new desktop pc to play my games and then I can save the mac for everything else..

So it should work on any DVI connector? Cause what I'm wondering is, i would like to buy this video card with hdmi support : http://alternate.be/html/produ ... showTechData=true#tecData but it doesn't has a plugin to connect a hdmi cable.. So I would need that adapter right? But isn't it possible to use that adapter on any other DVI connector?

No but windows ain't that bad.. This thread only was just created to say that there is now a way to play lfs under mac.. Tho I'll still be using bootcamp to play it...

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :Haha, it didn't take long for that to crop up. I love how Mac users rant on about how great Mac is and when there is a shortcoming with their godlike OS it is Windows fault.

Yes, but why activation stuff.. is it really needed... Tho my mac constantly crashes... when running microsoft word.. For all other programs it works just fine

Quote from ZORER :Yes i use toshiba regza for my pc. It's full hd and has a dvi input(75hz) + pc media window function which lets you to watch tv on the right hand side of the screen while using left side for pc.But the highest resolution for dvi is 1280x1024. You have to get a hdmi video card if you want to use full hd on pc.
It's much better than a high res monitor imo.

Well I'have been checking out some video cards, they say they have hdmi support, but I don't see any hdmi cable adaptors? At the store i found this:http://alternate.be/html/productDetails.html?artno=JZZU04

So would it than be able to use 1920 x 1080 ? or still 1280x1024

Quote from St4Lk3R :May I recommend using VMWare Fusion instead of Parallels? If I recall correctly, VMWare Fusion has far better 3D hardware emulation (DirectX 9 capable) - you might even squeeze a few more frames out of LFS like this.

Well parallels desktop 4 now also is DirectX 9 capable... And I also triend vmware fusion but I had problems with my windows activation (switching from fusion to bootcamp and visa versa)...

Tho it might just be a windows problem.

Quote from farcar :So, your Mac has an emulator...


It's a very inefficient way to run LFS but good luck to you.

Well, I atm use it only to make car skins etc... but if i really want to play it well then i just boot up my laptop in bootcamp and get 100fps.. But now they can't complain that lfs doesn't work on mac
Full HD LCD TV

Hey,

I'm thinking of buying a full hd lcd tv for my pc, since I mostly use my normal pc for just gaming.

Does anyone uses a tv as pc monitor? My nephew tried on on his normal HD tv and it looked like crap (nothing was readable), but full hd has alot more pixels so should I for example also be able to browse on websites etc with a "clear" view?
LFS on Mac!

Hey Guys,

Was looking for the lfs on mac threads but didn't found them.. anyway there might be a solution now

Since a few days / weeks Parallels dekstop 4 is released. I tried to run lfs on it and it runs at 30fps so it's playable!

Added a screenshot

There is a easier way...
add a event handler for RST
Quote :struct IS_RST // Race STart
{
byte Size; // 28
byte Type; // ISP_RST
byte ReqI; // 0 unless this is a reply to an TINY_RST request
byte Zero;

byte RaceLaps; // 0 if qualifying
byte QualMins; // 0 if race
byte NumP; // number of players in race
byte Spare;

char Track[6]; // short track name
byte Weather;
byte Wind;

word Flags; // race flags (must pit, can reset, etc - see below)
word NumNodes; // total number of nodes in the path
word Finish; // node index - finish line
word Split1; // node index - split 1
word Split2; // node index - split 2
word Split3; // node index - split 3
};

and then sent a TINY_RST wich will request a RST package so you can have total number of nodes on the start of your application

Preferably for an S60 platform? My nokia n95 8bg - i'd love to get this on it!

I guess it should be possible, if you can let applications connect with your bluetooth / wifi connection...

Quote from canovi88 :yes!! something like this

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/ ... tgauge_insim_application/

lol..play lfs in ur phone..hmm..scawen,think that hahaha

That isn't that hard... If you are able to set a connection trough wifi / bluetooth with your computer. And you got that windows mobile thing, then you should be quite easy be able to program something in Visual Studio... VS even has a emulator...

If anyone would know how to detect who hits who + some kind of impact points, then it would be possible.. Tho I'm not good enough @ math to calculate it else I would have given it a try...

Well the thing is, that when a user joins on my insim, his special char gets saved as ?, tho if I add them trough phpmyadmin, it works just fine... Perhaps it's a C# problem (I thought it was default unicode?)

well I found out that my database is in latin1, but how can I change it to utf8? I don't find anywhere to put it. Googled it and they say I need to edit my.ini, but since my database is hosted on a external webhost, wich I don't manager, this is a problem... Is there another option?

mysql parameters

Hi,

I'm trying to work with parameters in my mysqlqueryies... but I guess I'm doing something wrong cause I don't get any output..

works fine:
string strQryGetPlayerConn = "SELECT * " +
"FROM ws_insim_users " +
"WHERE username = '" + playerConn.Username + "';";

MySqlCommand qryGetPlayerConn = mysqlConn.CreateCommand();
qryGetPlayerConn.CommandText = strQryGetPlayerConn;

MySqlDataReader reader = qryGetPlayerConn.ExecuteReader();

doesn't work:
string strQryGetPlayerConn = "SELECT * " +
"FROM ws_insim_users " +
"WHERE username = @UserName;";
MySqlCommand qryGetPlayerConn = mysqlConn.CreateCommand();

qryGetPlayerConn.CommandText = strQryGetPlayerConn;

qryGetPlayerConn.Parameters.Add("@UserName", MySqlDbType.String);
qryGetPlayerConn.Parameters["@UserName"].Value = playerConn.Username;

MySqlDataReader reader = qryGetPlayerConn.ExecuteReader();

I have no clue what I did wrong... Or perhaps those parameters only work with I, U, D ?

Maybe a Antialiasing mode in the viewer? Would look nicer make screenshots...
