It would take forever and I never could tell if it was worth it. Unlike the turbo button that allowed my pc to play myst in SD.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 39 points 1 day ago

Fun fact is the turbo button wasn't actually turbo anything. It pressed in was the default and designed speed. When it was depressed it set it to run at a lower clock speed. This was meant for older games where aspects of the game like movement and attack speed were tied to the clock rate. With a high speed cpu the game was unplayable so you take off turbo mode and it mostly fixed the issues.

I felt like the difference was only obvious if the disk had gotten really bad in the first place, but maybe it was just psychological from seeing the colors move around.

...for a whole day.

Looking back, honestly everything was so slow already I don't think it was noticable. When it takes 5 seconds to see an app a start to open vs 6 you doesn't notice much. Now with SSDs and such an extra second is like twice as long as it should take.

Oh I just recently replayed Myst. Only outshined by Riven, such a great game.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I still have my original 5 disc set of riven.I need to image those and mount them in 5 virtual CDroms so I'm not changing disks constantly.

That game was hard as hell, I remember the last puzzle defeating me. Some of the clues were vague too. But man it was something.

[–] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 20 hours ago

I also have my OG 5 disk set but I recently replayed it in VR. Man, what a ride! Yes, the last puzzle was maybe the most difficult puzzle in videogame history haha

Blue Prince, while vastly different, did bring up fond memories of those games.

[–] homes@piefed.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

oh, I could always tell the difference, but it would always take at least a day-and-a-half to run. it was difficult to go without the computer for that long

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Needed to run it more frequently and you'd have much shorter cycles.
