...then perhaps you would like this one, lifted from my archives. Ah, good ol' times...   

Hello Hoschte; yep, that sure feels quite fun to do - I recommend trying in Stunts 1.0 for maximal enjoyment, though...

Dstien, my dear namesake  , or Zak, please enlighten me: I succeeded to unpack GAME2.P3S under Linux and to open it under Vim in hex-mode... but how one can tell what parts of the file are a "TRUK" shape, or a "BARN" or an "ELRD"?

Well, now we might be a step closer to Chulk's suggestion...   

Anyway, final released is set to an undefined date (currently I'm always lacking either time or disposition to fine tune the dashboard and some other stuff). You can start teasing me should you get no news about it in a month or so, however  .

Also, does anybody owns Gran Turismo 3/4 or any other recent simulator with R32 Skylines in it? I would like to ask for cooperation on some sanity checks on the performance data I'm using...

AbuRaf: Lo que vées es un verificador de login - los cuadros són trés numeros en muy bajo contraste que tienes de inserir abajo... sugiro que selecciones los cuadros e los copie-pegue en Bloc de Notas - asi la visualización era mejor (las figuras són, en verdade, ASCII).

Quoting Zak, that is the news-of-the-year, period!!

I was only five by 1st of May 1994, but Senna was already my childhood hero - the first hint of grief...
As for the tribute itself, it's a good, respectful idea indeed.

OK, as a registered user I can now share my hopeless inaccurate predictions.  Now, could I join that league of yours?

He is not an english player, he is from Portugal. I was talking about English players only, else it would be too long to talk about all promising players.

Yep, very smart of me as well to miss the whole point of your post. 

Oh, there's Speedy in Argentina too... strange how I always seem to forget Speedy is a trademark of (the global corporation) Telefonica - probably because they only operate in Sao Paulo state here in Brazil.

Hmm, I got a spyware attack when I tried that...

Now *that* is weird! Firewall settings on external routers might have something to do with the access problems then - was it any traceable kind of spyware, BJ?

And remember that Scholes (...) are still 24 and 23 years old (...)

Surely you were think about baby-faced, whining baby, Cristiano Ronaldo...  (Though I'll concede he is not that annoying lately, and is a damn good player)

Duplode's latest prognostic is full redrive... Hopefully I'll have a good time window to try it in slightly less than six days - this is a race to give it all!

Hello again, and welcome back everybody - let's all get in mood for the tight, engaging season that unfolds this term  Now for the track: vision-skewing mazes are a recurrent theme in Stunts track-making, but translating it to a full-blown contest course is a different matter: nice track and great vision Paleke! 

Weird 

Try http://wstuntsc.iespana.es

But I think Duplode is having trouble with the page too. Maybe it's something about the IP. I don't know how he did to "fix" it, but if your problem continues I think you should try to access from one of these pages that allow you to navigate anonymously, like www.anonymouse.org

Indeed, I still have trouble to reach both WSC addresses from home, and at some other computers elsewhere as well. Maybe it has something to do with our Brazilian ISPs (Dark Chaser: could it possibly be Speedy's fault in your case?). Anyway, www.anonymouse.org or other cgi-proxies allow me to reach the pages and submit times at least, provided I can put up with the proxy ads and random bugs at the forum.

PS.: Darkie, you'd better avoid quoting your mail address "naked" on public forums - spamming tools might find it...

Mr. Rivers started his mission but he has to face the other Silver Spirit ace...

Nice, very nice battle there! 

*Duplode's usability report of Stunts under Linux*

• Distribution: Fedora Core 8
• Machine: Core 2 Duo E6600 with 2GB RAM, good enough to run DOSBox-Stunts on XP very nearly flawlessy.
• DOSBox setup: The original intention was to get the DBGL package, create a new profile and run Stunts from my "old" folder on the secondary NTFS partition. Problem is, the DOSBox on DBGL package needs some SDL libraries to run in Linux. Since I couldn't work out how to get them with 3-minute Google-ing, I opted for an easier solution: grab the "bare" DOSBox 0.72 from Fedora repositories, create the profile at DBGL and then add this to ~/.bashrc :
  

Code Select Expand

alias stunts_k="dosbox -conf <path to Stunts *.conf file at DBGL profiles folder>"

Now I launch Stunts instantly by typing "stunts_k" on the terminal 

• Emulation speed: With scaler3x and 20000 cycles (similar to what I had under XP), I get perfect smoothness.
• Graphics: As good as ever  Only thing is that, as Krys described for Vista above, window size under normal3x scaler is limited to 1024x768 even when fullscreen - same settings under XP allowed me to use 1280x960, which is as close to fullscreen as I can get with correct aspect ratio. But to me that's a minor issue.
• Sound: Slightly different. Music sounds clearer, crispier; on the other hand sometimes I notice quiet clacks when pausing/restarting replays. Overall, it's about as good as XP.
• Gameplay: At least, it's as good as XP.
• Overall impression: Very positive
