I used HotLine to download my warez and it could resume downloads so ![]() Also a couple times I exchanged CDRs with foreign nationals, which was probably doubly illegal. We all printed jewel case covers and everything. I think I have the psd file somewhere still, it was terrible

codecs developed fast right around then i remember i had a vcd of the matrix that looked pretty good, but like a half year later, i got another one that was uh variable bitrate vcd? iirc only some hardware could play it as opposed to regular vcd, which could generally be played big image quality difference tho what was that about, i guess some manufacturers gave less of a poo poo / supported more codecs? i wonder if those lovely old "vbr vcd"s are divx or something

Samuel L. ACKSYN posted:and i wrote this all from memory so dont be nitpickin hell yeah svcd was definitely a thing. god what a mess my parents got a c&d letter like a decade ago so im not allowed to download movies at their house anymore lol tbh its better that way cause getting the right subs was a massive chore. i did my best, but even if i managed to sync them up (literally, with uh the app that has a parrot as an icon, i changed runtimes and stuff), but the translations were just very bad and obviously written by some teenager and i had to narrate the movie for my mom anyway

Voodoo Cafe posted:extremely late but I think you're talking about kvcd which modified something or other about the (quantization? convolution?) matrix. it might have also lowered the horizontal resolution because vertical resolution was more important on crappy crts . i remember messing about with it in tmpgenc when i had a zest for life and a desire to spend several hours of my time just to watch raiders of the lost ark on an actual tv rather than stare at the wall haha yes, kvcd!!

3D Megadoodoo posted:Some C64 game would click the cassette drive motor for sound effects. wouldnt think that was possible, the tape drive was extremely simple & i would assume the motors were only controllable with the buttons on the drive itself the disk drive was controlled by the computer & could do fun stuff also both had lovely firmware so there were a lot of turbo loaders around (both as hardware cartridges or ones you loaded from your turbo disk first)

jre posted:Not 100% sure about c64, but the add on tape drives for the BBC micro had a control line for stopping and starting the tape automatically. at least the one i had was fully manual ![]() youd also save stuff by hitting record when the program prompted you, or before hitting return on your own SAVE command
