You're going to see that difference between PC games and Super Nintendo. Differences in chip sets, blah, diddy-blah-blah. Won't go into all the gory details. there's a few out there that have been released in PC format. Haven't really kept up with them. When I go to the shop, I've been gravitating more and more to the graphics and apps sections. I might wander over to the Gaming forum and see what they're gossiping about...
...gaming forum ? hmmmmm https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
We have one here ? Another one of those topics I have ignored.
Go up to the top and click on Hardware, then Gaming hardware and Software. Was just there--some real hard-core gamers there playing stuff that sounds pretty heavy https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I found a thread where they were talking about favorite games. As usual, that led to another site which sparked an idea and I found some sites with demo's you can download...playable. Like to see what they are like before you buy?
I am going to check into that. Also the 3D link you provided. I know that is on OLD but it may be back in these Delta threads too.
Was that the 3DMark site?
They look pretty big. But I'd like to see before I buy. I'm wondering if they have them like at ToysRUs on the Nintendo stuff set up in the Computer section where you can play or at least see the graphics before you buy ?
QOH
Near bottom of page is WinME Defrag just in case you do not have it already.
Nice visits today, tweeked a couple computers, PowerfulPC, WinMe defrag, and on one set min swapfile to 200MB [brother does serious some graphics, and boy did he SMILE] at least 4 to 5 times faster in rendering up the pictures.

Bet he was smilin' ! Thanks Train, for reminding me about the powerful pc. I did finally find the ME defragg. I did a search here and kept getting dead ends on the links.
I still got all this stuff on OLD I can't get off yet.
Almost got OLD's CDROM working tonight and was updating the drivers when it asked me to insert the Win 98SE CD to extract what it needed. Oh surrrrreeee ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Now how'm I sposed to do that ??!!! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
So I need to fix it's floppy drive first and get a copy of that file it asked for made on a floppy on Mercy. That ought to do it.
QOH
Isn't thinking like that dangerous???
What I did was when I made the PowerfulPC reg,
I saved it in a folder I named Powerful PC. That way it is readily findable and I can right click and send it to a floppy where I saved it and WinMe Defrag. Now here is the link to PowerfulPC.

Thank you.
Now I just did the Windows Update thing. It downloaded and when it finished it told me I needed to restart Windows for it to install and asked if I wanted to do this now? I said no so I could shut down correctly (I had a couple things running I wanted to close first) so I did that and then rebooted. Nothing happened. I thought it would pop up and say "I'm installing this now" or something. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ How do I know if it did it?

Morning All, Tweaking and peaking continues or is it the saerch for knowledge. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ The search function that Train refers to is very good and there are different scenarios that you can enter. I like to match subject and author. It doesn't take to long with this method to find out which member or members are good at a particular subject. Good reference tool once its organized to your requirements. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Morning Mosaic,
Just got a couple little things. Shut down patch.
I watched the boot but this thing only takes 20 seconds from the time I tell it to restart to back up and ready to go. It flies by pretty quick https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I thought I'd see something too but it didn't . I went back and those things were not in the "Catalog" it gave me of things it thought I needed any more.
I still need the 5.01 SP1 but it takes HOURS to install. Gonna wait till real late to do that one too.
I still cannot close that stupid preview pane! Hopefully the sp1 will take care of that. Yes I remembered the AV.
Prices "keep falling on my head". https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Train, Tried WinME defrag. Shortest time yet at 7 minutes. Powerfull PC looks interesting when I read it over.

You might want to keep this.
You can go to this url and product update patch for this.
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
But, what you might want to do first is,
go to start>run (type in) msconfig > OK
On the General tab put a check in selective startup. click the advanced button toward the bottom right,and put a check in disable fast shutdown. click ok ok reboot.
The shutdownpatch removes the ability to do this
Two fast shutdowns = a mess
What preview window??Windows startup Logo?

No, Outlook Express. It just keeps being there. I keep unchecking it in Tools>Options>Read tab and it's still opens. I know it locked before, so the little double arrow to open it was not even showing up.
