The mod pack is essential. @bonami2and I have found some pretty awesome mods. The automatic download option is really really slow because I only have 10Mbps upload.

Glad you're home now bro! Hope you're feeling a little better now.

UPDATE: Found some new vehicles and figured we should put those into the server too. Our WA State servers 1 and 2 are both online. The Canadian servers (3 and 4) are currently offline and being updated with the latest pack. Will give another update once those 2 are back online as well.

Now THAT, I couldn't tell you since I'm still using official drivers on my 290x, Fury, and Vega. You're right, I don't see any reason either why Vega shouldn't support SAM, or at the very least RSR, same with Fury. Heck, an RX 580 supports RSR, and Fury is just as fast as a 580 is, 290x is as fast as a 580 is. Hmmm, I'll have to dink around with drivers more next time I have those rigs on the bench. If you find anything out about that, please update!

Exchanges are just that, a place to take your currency to exchange it for another one. Nothing will ever beat holding your funds in your wallet. Banking with fiat or crypto. Yes, banks are more reliable than a crypto exchange, sure....but what's going to keep that bank afloat in hard times? Banks have failed in the past too. I dunno, just random musings on my part. I hold a little crypto still, but I hold it in an offline wallet for in case of a rainy day. Sucks that all those people lost their money, hopefully it can be recovered.

The Vega might not see a whole lot of an improvement because its still so much newer to be honest. Latest official driver for HD5000-6000 would be I believe it was 13.9's? But thanks to modded drivers, I think i'm running something like 15.7's or something on my HD6970 and HD5870, thus furthering their lifespan that much longer....allowing them to play more modern titles easier. Example, Borderlands 3 on my HD6970, it wouldn't even launch because "driver not supported". Updated to the modded drivers, and it plays now....plays pretty well actually. They can also improve stability on older legacy cards. Another example, my Radeon 7500. The official drivers, the thing crashes on 3d if you load up the whopping 32MB of VRAM too hard. On modded drivers, it works fine. Still trying to remember which ones I used for that card because they were for all the way up to X1900's, and I have an X1900 that's crashing on load too now, probably driver related..... So.....your Vega, while it MIGHT not actually see improvements with modded drivers TODAY, give it some time and it absolutely will. The modded drivers are USUALLY more stable though too. Not always, but usually. They CAN add extra features and support that AMD themselves dropped at the driver level. Again, maybe not today, but it could happen. It really does depend on a number of things. But basically, TLDR, modded drivers extend support further for legacy cards.

Ummmm, please do make a retro gaming thread! It might just be me and you in there though......

New Update! NOTE TO ANYONE WHO DOWNLOADED PREVIOUS MOD PACK: Please delete everything in the resources folder (follow the readme), and re-download the latest pack linked above or below (v0.05). Removed some stuff, added new stuff, and updated existing stuff, so you definitely don't want to have the wrong mods in the folder.

Server Status: ONLINE Speaking of server status! We no longer have just the ONE server running. Special shoutout and thanks to @bonami2, we're now hosting 4 servers simultaneously for BeamMP! This way, I don't have to keep shutting it down to change maps, we can just pick a server that already has the map we want! So see the first 2 posts in the thread for updates on what servers have what maps running currently!

I get the feeling I have a small idea of what some of those were, regarding some recent news articles that had been published. If I'm right....then good! Maybe they should be handing those chat logs over to the authorities as well. If its just mere censorship, then horrible news.....but considering "child safety" was mentioned, I have hope it was for the better. The other 53-54 million banned for spam related purposes, yeah that doesn't surprise me one bit either.

Pic related, I just went grocery shopping.......

Now you've got me curious, but I'd have to shutdown all the things on my server to do a run lol. I have 24c / 48t on Xeon v3's.

In all honesty, it actually would be pretty cool to see the price of used tanks come down to reasonable levels that the average citizen could afford. I wouldn't mind using one to level some trees on my own property (when I can get property), crushing a few cars, or just taking it for a few laps.

WANT! I still dislike the pricing, but I can HOPE that this will help bring Nvidia back down to Earth level pricing again. Maybe we'll see a downwards trend back to more reasonable levels again. Here's to hoping I can snag one the week AFTER Christmas for MSRP. Absolutely no way I can afford one before, but after....all bets are off when my grandparents give me a card full of cash.....

Not exactly what UltraMega was asking for in the thread, but dude....I had that receiver's bigger brother years and years ago, the SX-585R I think it was. 135w RMS x7 @ 8ohm and up to 350w RMS x7 at 2ohm. For an old system brought new again, that is an amazing looking setup for 2.1! Love what you did with XBMC too. I use Plex myself for my own personal media collection. I do miss XBMC though, I might give it another go again soon just to try something new again. I could just imagine banging your head to some old Def Leppard or ACDC or something else with that setup! I didn't know Project Pat was an OG? Shoot, I hadn't started listening to him till probably 02/03 ish?

Ahh that explains it. Yeah, looks like I'm done uploading pictures for a while. 74 kB left now apparently. Why not finish the job..... There's another 32 kB gone.

More update: E....what's up with the 535 kB max picture limit??? And this setup ALSO arrived today. Huge shoutout to one of our "frenemies" on another forum, because classic builds. I kinda can't do ALL of these super old builds myself, I definitely need outside assistance at times still. Remember, its been how many years since Windows 98SE or even XP was ran daily by some of us? I switched to Vista in 2007...... With that said, the guy did me an absolute solid and hooked me up with this Gigabyte GA-5AX Super Socket 7 motherboard that has PS2 and USB on it, ATX, for a very reasonable price. So its not going to be NEARLY as difficult trying to find compatible PSU's and cases to build the K6 rig. There's also some 256MB SD-RAM sticks there, so I can use those for Windows 98 / 2000. And a K6-2 450MHz CPU installed ready to go! This board is in absolutely mint condition, so its ready to be plugged in and used once I find suitable PSU, case, and a few other odds and ends I'm missing still. He also tested it prior to sending and showed me it working and overclocked to 600MHz. I still have my EPox board from Russia with a K6-2 500 in it, but it needs a recap and its all AT. I might give it a go with recapping when I do the A8R32 above, and save that board for Windows 95 since its fully AT and buy a K5 CPU for it maybe. It'd be more suiting than a K6 500.

Update: So I got a few packages in the mail today. Honestly I don't even remember what all I've posted and not. Pretty sure I showed off my last Chieftec Dragon build, the Socket 939 one with HD5770's. Well....now I have a board that can HOPEFULLY do HD5000 crossfire on Socket 939. I do need to locate a better CPU for it, my CCBWE Opteron 165 @ 2.70GHz isn't cutting it, and the x2 3800+ Manchester definitely won't cut it. There's been a few really good stepping Opterons on ebay lately, so I'll be picking one of those up eventually (hopefully lol). But here's the haul from today!: Special shoutout to LabRat810, had he not specifically bought this same board a few weeks ago out from underneath of me JUST to mine for salt from me....... I don't think I'd have this exact combo... Still mad at you for that BTW dude. But TY! We arranged a trade, I happened to have some old junk (to me) networking gear, and a couple old Intel builds just sitting collecting dust. He wanted the CPU and cooler out of this setup for his own that he mined salt from. I have spare CPU's, I care but don't care about losing this one....so fine, deal. What we see: Asus A8R32 MVP Deluxe CFX motherboard 4x1GB Corsair XMS DDR400 CAS2 AMD FX-60 Zalman CNPS 9500 (I already have one anyway) And a Sapphire Radeon X1900, which I was actually MISSING from my collection!!!! The motherboard DESPERATELY needs a proper re-cap done. Not sure if I want to try to find somebody that can do it, or if I'm going to attempt it myself just yet. But it WILL be done soon-ish. Not a setup I NEEDED, but one I really wanted to 110% properly finalize that "daily driver" retro rig.

I'm no mouse guru, but this is the one I use for wireless and I absolutely love it..... https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/logitech-g602-gaming-mouse A friend of mine was trying to convince me off wireless and back into a wired mouse with this one: Logitech G MX518 (Legendary) Review WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM Logitech's iconic gaming mouse is back, and it's better than ever! The G MX518 (also known as the MX518 Legendary) features the flagship... From what I understand though, the MX518 Legendary was a limited run model though. Not going to lie, its the "snappiest" feeling mouse I've ever had when paired with freesync and high refresh rate. I still absolutely love my G602 though, its not that far behind and well....wireless. If that G502 you're looking at is anything at all like my G602 (maybe better since newer and "gamer"?), then I'd say its a good mouse. It looks like it holds very similar in your hand to the G602 I have, and the specs look to be considerably better than both of mine if the numbers mean anything. My MX518 Legendary has the HERO 16k sensor and that G502 has the HERO 25k. I'm assuming bigger number is better. My G602 (clearly older) has a ADNS-3090 sensor on it, for whatever that's worth. The MX518 I have is seriously the quickest / smoothest mouse I've ever felt. Shoot, now you've got me wanting a G502 X Plus, looks like it'd be the best of both of my mice put together!

Stupid thrift store taking all my monies..... -_-

I really need to stay away from that dang thrift store.....I'm listening to this. Not going to lie, some of these symphonies really jam! The disc I have out right now is Mozart.

Hey, if any of them nurses are good looking, and happen to be "travelling" my way..... Nah, seriously bro, thanks for popping in to say hi. You know we're all wishing you the quickest and safest possible hospital visit and recovery.

Let's take a look back in history shall we? 20 years ago: GeForce4 Ti 4600 - $399 15 years ago: 8800 GTX (G80) / GTS 512 (G92) - $599 / $349 (tough to say which was better) 10 years ago: GTX 680 - $499 5 years ago: GTX 1080Ti - $699 Today: GTX 4090 - $1599 Source - TPU Database You absolutely CANNOT convince me that prices couldn't come down if the tech companies weren't getting away with it.

Still too much $$ in my opinion. Top tier shouldn't even be $1200. These insanely high prices are very recent. I remember buying HD7970 for $549 on release, and that wasn't that terribly long ago. -_-

Might see a few less blue checkmarks. Cool. I don't support greedy practices, but I don't support all the stupid blue checkmarks thinking they're the only voices because of that checkmark either. This one's kind of hard to comment on, because I dislike both. -_-

I will send all of my good vibes your way Jan! Get better!
