<0> bummer
<0> I'm sure I mentioned this once before but I forgot the answer
<0> tried to download the simcity 3000 demo
<0> it's an old game not even sure if it would work on a newer distro
<1> any luck?
<0> with simcity 3000?
<0> no :)
<1> oh :(
<0> tucows has a mirror though
<0> here we go
<0> hey gaminggeek
<0> you ever try rt2?
<1> nope
<0> yeah, I can't find any players for that
<1> I think micheal has played it
<1> but I could be wrong
<0> lgp-micheal?
<1> ya
<0> games just don't age well
<0> seems I'm always fighting with old games
<1> ?
<0> well take rt2 for example
<1> to get them to go?
<0> I can't get network play to work
<0> and there's no one I know of that knows anything about it
<0> in that regard old console systems are better
<0> I can dig out an old sega genesis and play king's bounty
<0> the problem with that was no save feature
<0> no go on sim city demo
<2> you can use an old distribution on an old computer just as well, same difference
<0> true
<1> why are there all these brakeages?
<0> kernel versions for one
<2> libc
<0> I got simcity 3000 demo to work
<0> so it wasn't too bad
<0> I had much bigger problems with old windows games like Lands of Lore 2
<1> why do they muck about with that stuff?
<0> Lands of Lore 2 was the absolutest incompatible with windows 2000
<0> it was a 4gw thing
<0> there was linux standard base, I think that was supposed to address these types of problems
<2> I doubt it would make a difference in this case
<3> yay X3!!1
<3> ok ok ok.. lgp is now my heros
<3> ^_^
<3> ok ok, obviously i'm like the last person on earth to find out.
<3> still.. yay! ^_^
<1> lol
<4> hrm... interesting... even slackware 11 when booting up with the 2.6 kernel, seems to think my 2nd drive is my 3rd, & my 3rd drive, 2nd
<5> maybe they are
<4> not according to windows, the bios, & linspire
<5> oh
<4> or the motherboard where its plugged into :)
<4> yeah, go figure
<5> I don't see why linspire and slackware would have different ideas about it
<4> nor i
<4> its sees all the partitions correctly
<3> different kernels?
<4> yeah, they are
<3> SATA?
<4> yep
<2> well, linspire tries to be windows-like, maybe slackware is the only one that is right
<4> 3 sata drives
<3> scsi remapping?
<3> check udev rules
<3> maybe the udev rules have them in different orders?
<4> well, my bios check knows the 160 gb is the 3rd drive
<3> order, not orders
<3> yah yah. udev remaps eth#'s too
<3> ...i've seen it before, don't think i ever found the root cause
<4> in the end, i dont think it'll matter
<3> it's not the hardware, the kernel is funging the devices somehow
<4> still shows me the right partitions
<3> yah, it's someting to do with how libsata(?) decides to address things
<3> ...but it might not be that low level, it might be udev doing the remapping..
<4> when i had two drives.. slack sw it as /dev/sda & /dev/sdb
<3> might mount your initrd and hunt around on there for clues, maybe you need to make a new one
<4> once i put in the 3rd one, slack no longer booted, as /dev/sdb is now /dev/sdc
<3> everybody's jumper'd cable-select, rt? no master/slave silliness?
<4> & unfortunately, due to a bit of stupidity, i arsed up 10.2 on me, but no matter, i can just reinstall it
<4> i just ***umed 11 with the 2.6 would see them in the right order
<3> ...tho i don't think the hw is the problem
<3> maybe 2.6 does see them in the rt order, but something in the initrd or udev is reordering it
<4> i'll probably just reinstall 10.2 rather than 11
<4> shogo worked on 10.2, pretty much one of the only reasons i use it anymore
<4> & hopefully, i can get sound to work in Sin with 10.2 since it doesnt work in linspire
<4> or i may just use my wife pc next to me :)
<4> sound does work on the game there.. hehe
<0> haha witch king option is just funny
<0> it's almost a death sentence
<0> let's try that again
<4> & slack does have a newer kernel... guess it must be something else
<4> ah well, a mystery not worth figuring out
<4> if the blasted thing installs there & works, no matter to me :)
<4> of course, that 11.0 on a shiny new dvd looks tempting too ;-)
<1> Anyone about?
<2> sorry, have to look after the spaghetti
<1> Ah ok
<1> Lightkey, are you on the bandits beta?
<2> have not been in any
<2> PowerPC, remember? ;)
<1> no I didnt know
<2> well go ahead and ctcp version me ;)
<2> though I have a half-decent x86 box now that is already broken again
<1> :<
<1> are you using xchat?
<6> gaminggeek, SONY Online Entertainment gave me 30 days free on Everquest Online Advenetures for the PS2
<6> I checked two servers of the 6 available
<6> the most popular and the .. not so popular server
<6> I went into the popular server, at the most popular city, and I found about 40 people.. with probably a little more (like 10) wandering the world, and maybe a little more raiding.
<6> k that is pretty terrible
<6> BUT
<6> on the other server... I found in that same major city, about 14 people.
<6> ...
<6> .
<1> lol
<1> that ****s :/
<6> :)
<6> hurry up and get in on the rage gaminggeek ! Before all 3000 slots are filled!
<1> and I just finished mission 4 of bandits
<1> thank god
<1> it was a pita :)
<6> hehe :)
<1> and now mission 5 crashes *sigh*
<6> :)
<6> speaking of crashing
<6> I need to crash, since I have school today... and it is 3:30.
<6> so I've shot myself in the foot
<6> :/
<6> gaminggeek,
<6> night
<6> !
<1> night
<0> interesting article on slashdot about joystick ports
<0> some company has a patent and is suing microsoft, sony, etc
<3> more ning
<0> 1:32 pm here :)
<3> then why are you still in bed reading /.? get up, lazy bum =P
<7> up
<7> oops
<8> down
<5> I just don't know which next gen console is the right next gen console for me
<8> the next next next generation in gaming... A linux box!
<5> I think it'd be cool to create an open console
<5> something that anyone can develop for
<9> let's do it
<8> bah
