OT: to all gran turismo fans

here's something to do while waiting on gt3. if you have a copy of gt2 lying around, download "epsxe", (playstation emulator) and either the glide or direct 3d plug-in and watch your graphics come alive. there's no comparing the psx and a voodoo 3 with alpha-blending and bi-linear filtering enabled. all running at a crisp 60fps might i add. i realize this isn't a binaries forum so if you want a couple of screen shots let me know. if enough people ask, i may post to the forum if that's acceptable. sorry for the ot, but i just wanted to share this with some people that may otherwise not have known. thanks.

no, i suppose not, lol. i figured this newsgroup was for computer auto sims because that's mostly what i see in here, but now that i look, there's no designation, so off with the OT. thanks john. kelley > thx > John

Or if you have a dreamcast you can get bleamcast and play GT2 on your dreamcast in 640x480 24bit with FSAA and it looks very nice :-) p.s. I wouldn't post the screens if I were you the self appointed newsgroup police wouldn't approve.

Then upload them to a web site and post the link here instead?!? "Alex Cameron" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:VP8%6.52347$[email hidden]... > p.s. I wouldn't post the screens if I were you the self appointednewsgroup > police wouldn't approve. >

on the epsxe you can run in resolutions up to 16x12, so nah, nah, nah. :) i'm only running at 1024x768, but it looks great. really brings out the limitations of the psx when you can see things without all the pixellation. i don't think fsaa is an option, but if you're using a 3d api, i don't know why you couldn't try with a v5 or gf3.

If you can create the JPEGs you're half way there. Most ISP's give you free web space with your accounts. You just FTP the files up to the web server (using the username and password they give you). Then post a link to them back here. For example. Let's say your ISP is called myisp.com. Your webspace is located at http://www.myisp.com/~bagel. FTP the files you create to your web space, following your ISPs instructions (they usually give you these). The post the link back here. It may look like http://www.myisp.com/~bagel/gt1.jpg etc..

What did you drop it in a bucket of water or something ;-) all DC's do FSAA. Alex
