Goodbye Impact

Hopefully someone else will one day take upon themselves the 'ol Z hardware. But I disagree with you scrapping the project just because of a leaked Beta. Oh well, it happened before and I guess you were right pissed off this time.

Impact was scrapped a while ago, wasn't it?

by **RabidYak** on Sun Jul 01, 2001 3:15 pm

Impacts been dead for almost a year now.

The ZN-1/2 hardware aint far out of being in MAME, The processor is pretty much the only thing holding it up (and will be the main performance bottleneck).

And theres Zinc for the *nix users.

Hmm, I was actually talking about a special brick that I had named Impact which recently shattered due to a fight with Streetside T.

He was once layed in a Z formation but I rescued him and they called me a damn beta leaker.

by **Damian** on Sun Jul 01, 2001 6:54 pm

Please stop, I am still in mourning for my beloved brick *sniff*.

I'm surprised you didn't go to the chat room since we're both on the board at the same time.

by **Damian** on Sun Jul 01, 2001 7:09 pm

Shit I am in there now...but I fear that you have left. I will wait for a while though [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] .

other than bricks lost

doesn't the new calice support those games? there was something at retrogames a day or two ago...

by **RabidYak** on Mon Jul 02, 2001 1:55 am

Calice just plays the music ala' Qplayer and the prelim MAME drivers.

Ummmmmmm. Impact. Right, we are talking all those 3D games like Rival Schools and the like right?

I think I'm right, never used it myself but am I also right in thinking that the mame team dont allow the use of 3D hardware accelleration in mame as it doesnt emulate the board truly?

If I'm right here, wont you need some kind of monster sitting on your desk to play them in mame?

Mmmmmmm beeeeeer.

I would guess around the same level as STUN runner and Hard Drivin'. The Playstaion graphics h/w is meant to be relativly quick to do in software render, its just the processor that will bog it down (R3000 - 32 bit,33mhz).

by **Silverhaze** on Wed Jul 04, 2001 1:04 pm

Damn thats a shame. I get pretty much unplayable levels of performance in both those games.

by **RabidYak** on Wed Jul 04, 2001 10:57 pm

Not suprised, STUN runner and Hard Drivin have 4-5 processors each.

I like nachos.

by **Damian** on Thu Jul 05, 2001 4:20 am

Had some of those the other day with refried beans in corn tortillas. Not long before I had some medium Chile with flour tortillas, think I might just buy corn in the future as it seems tougher and is a bit cheaper too..hate it when flour splits, what a mess.

Well the last time I ate mexican food I was stuck on the toilet for a week with major pineye! LOL

by **adidas** on Thu Jul 05, 2001 5:31 pm

Sometimes I like that cheese on them, but that's not very good for you. Today I ate them with salsa instead.

by **Damian** on Thu Jul 05, 2001 7:55 pm

You are making me feel a bit guilty as I had them with cheese and salsa.

Talking about cheeses, did you know that many (most?) of them (including the ever famous cheddar) contain animal rennet? To those who don't know this is a portion of the cow's stomach that is included to improve flavouring. Yuck! all cheese byproducts such as cheese flavoured crisps (even cheese & onion) contain this as well unless it says suitable for veggies on the back.

by **adidas** on Thu Jul 05, 2001 8:11 pm

I've eaten worse than cow stomach. That's not so bad.

by **Pdaimaoh** on Fri Jul 06, 2001 1:26 am

as a former employee of a few food based services, I can tell ya it's way better to ENJOY YOUR FOOD, and NEVER EVER ANALYZE IT

you will die when you die, you will puke when you puke, and you'll just have to deal with those things when they happen, not fret about em prior

I like mexican food best when I'm a bit drunk! mmmmmm chicken fajita.... (yeah I'm drunk right now...too much leftover beer in the fridge)
