Rules out of date? :P

ShadowLord · Post by **ShadowLord** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 3:47 am

I was checking the rules and came across this:

"Warez is forbidden. Don't ask for 'r3gged sci tech display d0ctor serial numbahZ' or anything stupid like that."

Who the hell still uses sci tech display doctor?

This rule needs to get up to date.

I smell warez.....

Reg Code: 00000-173D626E-02002
Full Name: 6.x Free Edition
http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/ent ... itles.html

Hur anyway they probably should change it to something else but they kept it because they've had that since the board first started (it sounds funny when you say it too). Also warez is another word for pirated software so it wouldn't really matter what they put after it.

Lol IMO there should also be a forum dedicated to the rules and FAQs on this board, like on Snes9X.

It's an old joke among some of the board regulars.

No shit? Me too. It's a small world.

It doesn't predate me I just didn't pay enough attention to the message board back then.

My machine needs SDD in order to properly do VESA modes.

What kind of a machine are we talking about here? My old machine didn't need one, and that computer is pretty old.

I know. I was being sarcastic.

I remember my first time playing ZSNES under Windows 98's real DOS mode. My video card didn't have VESA2 support so I had no choice but to download SciTech display doctor.

It was a 1Mb Cirrus Logic PCI video card. I had to download the trial, but I formatted my computer so much back then that I never needed to actually buy the full version, because I kept reinstalling the damn program all the time.:p

FYI, a new version of SDD for WinXP has been released a while ago, so people might still want an illegal copy of it.

They discontinued SciTech Display Doctor but you can download it for free. Also I don't think they use serial activation for any of their products they just have trial versions.

They have a new version somewhere.

Take a look at this:

That's weird I didn't see it anywhere on their homepage.

Post by **Nach** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 2:16 am

I'm guessing they renamed it.

Or that's from a beta version they were working on and never finished.

Remember, the first release of zsnes required sdd to run. Thus the n00bs coming from everywhere asking where to find it.

Maybe get in touch with Recoil or the rest of the old guard at CR...? He hasn't posted there for over a year, but they might know where he could be found.

Required SDD specifically, or vesa 2 drivers?

I remember using SDD briefly before I found the free s3 vesa 2 drivers. Then again, I think my earliest experience was ZSNES 0.300 or 0.400. I know I've played 0.400. So maybe you mean the very first release, or a relase that possibly predates 0.300?
