1.	Solve : Pentium 2 or 3 running N4S Mostwanted??
Answer» ok I was watching this utube video were a guy is playing N4S mstwanted on his P2. How does he do that? is it true? Does he boost his CPU or just add a mega graphics card? Quote from: comda on August 02, 2010, 08:26:49 AM ok I was watching this utube video were a guy is playing N4S mstwanted on his P2. He doesn't.I saw a guy on Youtube play Halo on his NDS whats NDS Nevermind...... Define:nds Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on August 02, 2010, 08:29:40 AM I saw a guy on Youtube play Halo on his NDS That is possible, the NDS is a very powerful device, it could probably run quite a number of ported software like Halo effortlessly. the vid he refers to is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqvgjETZT20 note the description STATING the specs: Pentium 2, 1GB of RAM, TNT Riva M64 PC Chips m775 First, the motherboard being a PC Chips m775 is a bit DIFFICULT, being that that is a Socket 775 and the Pentium 2 was either a Slot 1 or a Socket 7, and required a board that was either (surprise) Slot 1 or socket 7). Secondly, the resolution appears to be 1024x768. But I'll be conservative and say it's 800x600. First, the motion blur effect? Not happening. It's not in the Device capabilities of the GPU. It barely supported Hardware transform and lighting. Everything else had to be emulated by the CPU using the software renderer. This included, for example, any and all lights. You'll also notice that the bump-mapping and reflection mapping and even the pixel shaders are still SEEMINGLY unaffected (the pavement sunlight reflection, in particular). As I noted, the Riva was one of the first Nvidia cards to even support hardware transform and lighting, and now we are to BELIEVE that it magically has pixel shaders and reflective bump mapping capabilities that weren't introduced until years later? Complete BS. The person who made the video is either a liar or a complete IDIOT who doesn't know the difference between a P2 and a P4, which the system likely is (I can see a p4 possibly running with a Riva, since as I noted all the unsupported features (such as bump mapping) can be deferred to software emulation and with a P4 and a low resolution this might allow for the framerate given. But there is no way a Pentium 2, at any clock rate, will be able to view it. Oh, and did I mention that the Most wanted executable has instructions that will only run on a Pentium 3 or higher? because that's pretty important too. thanks thats what I wanted to know.

That is possible, the NDS is a very powerful device, it could probably run quite a number of ported software like Halo effortlessly.

the vid he refers to is this one:

note the description STATING the specs:
