OS Nostalgia #2: MS-Dos 7.1

Let's install Dos (7.1).
What do you need?

- Ms-Dos 7.1 (or lower) floppy images;
- a virtual machine manager installed in your pc;
- one minute.


1) Create a new VM with one floppy drive and put in this drive the first floppy image (disk01.img)
2) Create a hdd virtual drive, start the virtual machine and boot from floppy
3) Install DOS and when it asks the second floppy, change the floppy image via menu
4) Ok, Dos is installed!

I have 7.1, you can install on this Dos the OS Windows 3.1.
I found only this version of Dos, but a lower version is ok too.

A little big fix for Android

Android (like others OS) has bugs and in these days was discovered a bug that may put in danger the users accounts. [read]

An "server-side" update to fix this has been released and users don't have to do any action.
This is good, is impossible to update "client-side" all devices for many reasons.

Now Android is (more) safe.

Broken Sword 2.5

Broken Sword 2.5 is a old "fan game" that continues the story from Broken Sword 2.
The game is very interesting and the plot follows perfectly the ideal result of the previous chapters.
Good old George Stobbart once again be involved in a thrilling adventure!

New environments, characters and puzzles that relate to the old adventures.

Do not miss! I finished this game this winter and I very much appreciated!

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X playing...

I don't have too much time in these days, but I have started RECVX in the ps2 emulator (pcsx2 0.9.8) to taking a look.
First screenshots for who doesn't know this game.

Graphic seems good.

I hope to find time for playing... PS: don't spoiler the plot XD

OS Nostalgia #1

Time for nostalgia.

I have installed Windows 95 in a virtual machine, a jump back in the past.

Virtual machine used: VM VirtualBox (http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.0.6/VirtualBox-4.0.6-71416-Win.exe)
