Technology news and views http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=10947&page=1#108506 And to think there was a time when I played Tracker modules through my A5000's internal speaker for enjoyment. Oh how we were starved of high-quality technology in those days. Then I discovered 3.5 -> RCA adapter and my world became one of Bad Tracker Tunes + stereo! http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=10947&page=1#108505 Hi All, http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=10938&page=1#108502 Yeah, but even comparing it to a 2002 PC leaves it somewhat lacking. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=7299&page=37#108495 I forgot http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=7299&page=37#108492 http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=7299&page=37#108489 Probably, yeah. The DSWare game download site/system is possibly their first step in phasing out cartridges altogether, and replacing them with encrpyted game files which can only be decrypted by the DS the game was downloaded onto. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=10938&page=1#108488 The Iyonix is over around 6 years old now so comparing to brand new modern PCs isn't fair. it had a good run and was a decent, capable fast computer and for most uses will remain so probably for some years. As well as that, the desktop market was never the only market for RISC OS for the lifespan of the Iyonix AIUI so the whole thing is more complicated than is often being made out. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=7299&page=37#108486 Isn't it a way to tackle R4 piracy? The DSi will probably have stronger protection - or maybe Nintendo are thinking that if anyone is going to make money selling SD card readers for pirated DS games, it's going to be them. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=7299&page=37#108483 Apparently the DSi isn't meant to be a replacement for the DS Lite - it's just a way of seperating more chumps from their money while Nintendo's boffins work on squeezing 8 ARM Cortex CPU's into the next DS (or whatever it is they'll cook up) http://www.iconbar.co.uk/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=10942&page=1#108481 Good news/bad news time with my laptop...
