![]() ![]() ![]() No doubt this is shaping up to be the number one Apple II emulator for the Mac OS X platform. To my knowledge, OpenEmulator is the only emulator for any platform that supports Apple Graphics Tablet, as well as the CFFA card, a peripheral card providing solid-state, mass storage for the Apple II computer. Make sure your speakers aren't up too loud!Īpple II enthusiasts such as myself will really enjoy fiddling with all of the hardware options and settings. Disk I/O errors are every bit as horrific as they are on the original, with the drive head thrashing itself into track 0 in an attempt to recalibrate. Furthermore, the sounds of the Disk II drive are also provided, and they can be shifted between the original Shugart mechanism and the newer Alps model. The Disk II interface card, for example, can be configured with either the 16 sector or 13 sector PROM, something that I've never seen in an emulator. I like that all of the peripherals and options have a picture showing what they look like. Overall, configuration of the emulator is quite straight-forward, and happens in real time. Hopefully you won't have the same problem! Click the magnifying glass or the Show Device button to open the window for the new monitor. Unfortunately, during my testing of the program, it crashed after I clicked Replace. You will be asked to confirm the replacement. For example, to change monitors, drag the new one from the Library to the existing monitor. When the list appears, you can drag and drop each item to its appropriate location. To see all of the hardware available to you, simply click the Hardware Library toolbar button. Watch the effects take place in real time. Click the Apple Monitor II, then adjust the sliders in the Options pane. The resulting window will list all peripherals and expansion slots. To see what is attached to the Apple II Plus, click the Devices button in the toolbar. To my ears, the emulated speaker sounds much more like the real thing than other emulators. There are even six different types of monitors, all with their own characteristics. All of these effects can be carefully tuned. If you look closely, you will see scan lines and a slight curvature of the CRT glass. In my opinion, the two best points of this emulator at present are its unparalleled emulations of the video monitor and speaker. Then prepare yourself for an experience unlike any other emulator. Click the Reset button in the toolbar to get an Applesoft prompt. Listen closely, and you will hear the quiet sound of a Disk II drive whirring. In this case, for the Apple II Plus, the monitor will show Apple ][ at the top, and you will hear the system beep. When you pick a computer, a new window will open showing the monitor for that computer. This review will cover only the Apple II Plus model added in this newest version of OpenEmulator. There are a few different models of each, and clicking each one will show a picture and a brief description and history, which is a nice touch. You can pick either an Apple-I or an Apple II. from the OpenEmulator menu at the top of the screen.Īfterward, the template chooser will appear. Don't let a computer program bully you for money! You can hit No thanks and decide if you want to donate after you have had time to try out the emulator. When you launch the program for the first time, you will be asked if you wish to donate. Simply mount the disk image, then drag the application icon within to your Applications folder. Once downloaded from the web site, OpenEmulator comes in a. Older versions of OpenEmulator were compatible with OS X 10.5 it would be nice if this compatibility could be restored. OpenEmulator 1.0.3 requires a Macintosh running OS X 10.6 or 10.7. In time, it will come to challenge the top emulators for Mac OS X systems, Virtual II and Sweet16. This version finally lifts OpenEmulator from an interesting novelty to something far more useful. The latest version, 1.0.3, adds emulation of the Apple II Plus and J-Plus computers, as well as the Disk II drive and many other peripherals. Designed to replicate down to the littlest details the experience of using real Apple II hardware, this free, open-source emulator succeeds in providing the full effect! Ressl, is the most exciting new Apple II emulator around. The review system is a 2010-model Mac mini with OS X 10.6.4, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM. ![]()

![]() Much like MotoGP 14, the controls takes a little getting used to. NO LIMIT CUSTOMISATIONĪs an off-road racing game, MXGP is a lot of fun. In a twist I didn’t see coming, this is a racing game that is held back by its big name license. MXGP manages to hit many of the same notes, but somehow isn’t as much fun. In some ways this is a good thing, as MotoGP 14 delivered a robust experience full of compelling modes and a strong line-up of real-world tracks. With the same modes and career progression, this motocross simulator feels nearly identical to its road racing counterpart. Despite having a different license attached, MXGP is a carbon copy of the recently-released MotoGP 14. But I quickly discovered that this PlayStation 4 racer was familiar for a completely different reason. I’ve seen motocross championships on television and am generally a fan of off-road racing, regardless of the amount of wheels. Going into MXGP: The Official Motocross Videogame for the first time, I had an idea what I was getting myself into. After playing MXGP, and also MotoGP 14 for the record, you might find yourself asking yourself if the best racing is really to be had on two wheels and not four. Given the lack of racing games on the PlayStation 4 at the moment you have to praise Milestone’s efforts in bringing two content packed racers to the system. The detailed fans and paddocks, which fortunately don’t suffer from any pop in delays, are loud and in number as you’d expect at a race event, which adds to the racing experience. Off the track Milestone have done a great job in creating a buzz as you’ve weave around the course. The terrain looks fantastic as it becomes more and more worn by the end of each lap, with your rider and bike also becoming muddier as the race progresses. The course detail in MXGP on PlayStation 4 is also impressive. Although I was completely deflated at the result when it’s the other way around it can feel immensely satisfying. A mistake at the last corner on the last lap saw me lose out. It’s in the online racing where you will have the most fun, though: I had a tense ten lap online race in which there was a battle for a podium place lasting for nearly fifteen minutes. Those brave enough to set the AI to hard will get the most out of the game. You’ll quickly find yourself winning races and topping qualifying without much of a challenge. The AI riders aren’t very difficult at the easy or medium setting. ![]() Luckily you can set the physics to your liking (base, medium or pro), so if you’re finding it a little difficult you can set the physics to base level which is more forgiving. It can be a little bit frustrating though, with the unpredictable in-game physics leading to some odd incidents, with the deformation resulting in certain crashes at some points along the course. After a few laps the course begins to wear away leaving deep groves at the turns and jumps making the racing just that bit harder. The deformation of the terrain is a really nice touch to the game. While the riding may not be as fluid as what we’ve seen in the MX Vs ATV series such as Reflex and Alive, it’s still smooth and enjoyable. Using both analogue sticks the left to control the bike and the right for the rider’s lean, you can easily turn sharply or control your riders balance in and before jumps. Motocross bikes are of course menacing machines in real life, but thankfully in MXGP they are easy enough to control. The tricky courses mixed with a grid of twenty-two riders makes each race unpredictable as you get to grips with the physicalities of bunched riders and changing terrain. It’s intense and wonderfully challenging, leaving you mentally drained by the end of each race. Having a lot of content may be great – but how does MXGP play? Thankfully, it’s brilliant – the racing is full throttle all the way to the finish line. ![]() Those who play FIFA online will be familiar with this system. In seasons you have to earn enough points in a set number of races against online opposition to progress to the next MX level. The new online season is probably the most exciting mode in the game, however. ![]() The career, for example, requires you to earn a reputation at a lower racing level before being picked up by the bigger MX1 teams. Understandably the game’s content bears a lot of similarities to MotoGP 14, Milestone’s last two-wheeled racer on the PlayStation 4. The only noticeable omission is split screen racing, which is a real shame. ![]() Or you can take the race online in the online season mode and standard races. There are plenty of offline modes to twiddle your thumbs trough including a fully fleshed out career mode, time attack sessions, and single grand prix and championship events.

Based on watching some of the 100 man super-expert and SMM kaizo race YouTubers, there seems to be quite a lot of very difficult and complex levels that can be made with the current engine. I still think that Nintendo might still need to balance between accessibility and catering to the hardcore fans. I wonder if that would make level creation more sparse as level creation would be a bit more complex? It would make it more authentic, but much more complicated to make, if each theme had its own physics. ![]() I'm not 100% sure whether I want it one way or another. There are still the issues with the powerups missing from one theme to the next, so switching from NSB with a required helicopter hat meant switching themes made an unfinishable level. In terms of the same physics engine aspect, I think that might have had more to do with being able to seamlessly swap themes while making a level since jumps in one theme would work the same as jumps in another theme. I think the "slowly unlock" aspect was weird - I hope they ditch that too. And in the event you happen to not want screen wrap for your particular vertical level, you could simply wall it off as we saw in the trailer. Screen wrapping would certainly open up some interesting design possibilities. This got me wondering: if the maker doesn’t put walls on a single screen width vertical segment, might screen wrap work in such segments (either in all styles, or just SMB3)? Both these segments are also a single screen width, and while they are both in SMW style, they both featured walls on the left and right side of the screen. ![]() Now in the SMM2 trailer, we see two examples of vertical scrolling, one with the little Tornado guys, and later an auto scrolling segment with para-buzzies. Here’s a clip of 5-2, where you can seen the screen wrap at work at 0:55. This was demonstrated in 7-1 and also in 5-2. To explain, if the player moved all the the way to the left side of the screen, they’d appear on the right, and vice versa. 3, such vertical segments of a single screen width featured screen wrapping.

There is a place for the puff sportswriting that passes for the majority of football analysis. Better to keep the spotlight on the star quarterback. Ridiculous." He mentions the Saints’ offensive line only in passing, as if keeping 300-pound linemen out of a quarterback’s face required no more effort than growing goofy facial hair. This year, he’s 4 percentage points more accurate, and on pace to throw 35 touchdown passes and five interceptions. Peter King, the doyen of the mainstream football writing establishment, instead marveled at Brees’s numbers: "Brees, in his 5,069-yard passing season last year, was phenomenal. It was Doug Farrar writing for Football Outsiders. But it wasn’t a pundit for a major outlet. A studious football writer might have pointed out that the Saints benefitted from the superior play and use of their offensive line, that something as small as the technique a tackle like the Saints’ Jermon Bushrod uses against an edge-rusher like Usi Omenyiora had a huge impact by giving quarterback Drew Brees an exceptional amount of time to throw the ball. Both teams were good-at least both had won more games than they had lost-and the Giants defense has a reputation for excellence, so the margin of victory was especially eye-opening. Two weeks ago, the New Orleans Saints blew out the New York Giants. Knowledge of X’s and O’s could enrich fans’ enjoyment of the game by laying bare all the moving parts that have to come together to make football plays work. If anything, Easterbrook shrugs in the face of the inscrutability of football playcalling, and is merely calling other commentators poseurs. But from this article it doesn’t seem that Easterbrook has a problem with the importance of playcalling in the game so much as the facile and specious analysis that invokes "playcalling" to support its position. One might take the side of Gregg Easterbrook, who thinks that playcalling-and by extension, coaching- are overrated in football. The implications of play designs are so central to the game that we take them for granted: we know that shotgun plays are conducive to passing or that running plays with many blockers on short-yardage downs are safe bets for small gains with big rewards (ie, first downs). ![]() Because of the way it’s played, however, with discrete plays rather than fluid continuity, success in football depends to an extraordinary degree on the way teams set up before plays start. As with any sport, success in football depends on the innate ability of the athletes playing it. How much football knowledge should readers demand of their favorite football writers? I’m no X’s and O’s guru." What? How does Mandel know Ohio State’s staff is not using Terrelle Pryor properly if he doesn’t know how the X’s and O’s in Ohio State’s plays work? Is it because Pryor is not putting up the gaudy numbers that his athletic ability seems to promise? If that’s the only proof required, couldn’t anyone draw the same conclusion? But Stewart Mandel is not just anybody he professionally writes about football for a major sportswriting venue and his analysis should theoretically be more incisive. While reading one of my favorite weekly football recaps, Stewart Mandel’s College Football Overtime, earlier this season, I was struck by a telling quote in one Mandel’s responses to a letter about the Ohio State-USC game: "As I wrote Monday, Ohio State’s staff is not properly utilizing Terrelle Pryor’s talents. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've read about nor found no major changes, so far at least, in terms of new technologies, file system advances or other improvements under the hood that would lead me to believe that in that regard there is any difference between 10 and 11, aside from the way it looks and handles navigation.

If you have StartAllBack, you can also enable classic context menus from the Explorer tab. See our article for all the steps, but in brief you need to create a registry key called under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID and then create another key under that called InprocServer32 and finally set the Default value there to a blank space. However, as we explain in our article on how to get full context menus in Windows 11, there's a simple registry tweak that will bring the whole menu back.

It also allows you to unlock the taskbar and drag it to the sides or top of the screen. However, if you don't use the classic taskbar, you can get those back in another way, which we'll explain in a section later. On the bright side, enabling the classic taskbar also gives you back the Windows 10 File manager (with ribbon) and the Windows 10 right click context menus. You also must have a third-party Start menu installed, because clicking the Start button on the classic taskbar will do nothing on its own. However, you can search directly from the Start menu and hit Windows key Tab to get the Task View menu. Considering that the Windows 11 taskbar's Task View and search buttons work, this is a loss of functionality. The Task View button is worse than useless as it crashes when you click it, causing the taskbar to hide your icons for a minute or two while it recovers, so you should hide it also.

Like ScanPyramids before them, EGP will use muon tomography to image the structure’s interior. The Explore the Great Pyramid (EGP) mission uses muon tomography to take the next step in imaging the Great Pyramid. ![]() For example, scientists in Italy will use muon tomography to image the inside of the volcanic Mount Vesuvius, hoping to understand when it might erupt again. Recent technological innovations in muon tomography increase its power and lead to new applications. Muon tomography is used in different applications, like examining shipping containers for contraband. The task in muon tomography is to measure the muons effectively. There’s an unending source of muons from the cosmic rays that constantly bombard Earth. But they travel at near light speed, and at such a high velocity, they can penetrate deeply before they decay. Muons are unstable and decay in only a couple of microseconds or millionths of a second. Credit: By Synta圎rror55 at the English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0 An air shower is a cascade of secondary decay particles, including muons, indicated with the symbol ?. This diagram shows what happens when a primary cosmic particle collides with a molecule of atmosphere, creating an air shower. When these particles collide with Earth’s atmosphere, the collision produces showers of secondary particles. Cosmic rays are fragments of atoms-high-energy protons and atomic nuclei- that constantly stream into Earth from the Sun, outside the Solar System, and outside the galaxy. More deeply than even X-rays can.Ĭosmic ray muons are created when high-energy particles known as cosmic rays slam into Earth’s atmosphere. They’re used in tomography because they penetrate deeply into structures. Muons are elementary particles similar to electrons but more massive. The discovery was published in the journal Nature and is considered one of the most significant scientific discoveries that year. ![]() Their most significant discovery is the “ Big Void,” a massive void above the Grand Gallery. Like Alvarez before them, they used muon tomography, along with infrared thermography and other tools. In 2016-17, the ScanPyramids team used non-invasive techniques to study the Great Pyramid. In 1969, Alvarez reported that they examined 19% of the pyramid and found no new chambers. In the late 1960s, American Physicist Luis Alvarez and his team used muon tomography to scan the pyramid’s interior. In recent times, archaeological teams have used some high-tech methods to probe the insides of the pyramids more rigorously. The inner and outer lines indicate the pyramid’s present and original profiles. This figure is an elevation diagram of the interior structures of the Great Pyramid. ![]() ![]() They only use technology when they absolutely have to.
