Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 versus Vista
hi Least when apple release an OS they get it right, I happy I no longer use windows anymore it a waste of time lol On 3 Aug 2008, at 03:13, Charles Rivard wrote: Based on their past releases, shouldn't they just wait until 2012 and get it right the first time rather than rushing it as they always seem to do? I know that service packs and patches usually clear up a lot of issues, and maybe those issues did not crop up during testing and such, but they sure have sold garbage, only to have to clear up problems later. I have seen games for the blind being sold that, for the most part, run fairly well when they are first made available to us because, in part, the beta testing, and in part, the work that went into them before testers even started.

Given ssuch a short development cycle between Vista and Windows 7 it sounds to me like Windows 7 is basically going to be a service release of Windows. That means it it will be Vista with patches and a slightly modified user interface.

I think it was Che sometime last year who was lamenting that his game, which has been spoken of well by people who play it, hadn't been downloaded as much as he'd hoped. And his game is free. As Thomas has said, programming games ain't easy. Even if you are doing it for free, it takes a lot of effort. (Though Jim Kitchen seems to have found the sweet spot as far as designing games that can actually get finished.) And if you are trying to keep a company afloat, you go where the money is. Otherwise your electricity gets cut off. On a positive note, here are some things you can do to make more audio games get built: 1. Buy some yourself. 2. Download free audio games and email thanks to their developer. 3. If you like a game, mention it to your friends. 4. Likewise, mention it to your library or schools.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 versus Vista
Hi Munawar, Well, from a programming standpoint DirectSound was replaced by XAudio2 in the March 2008 DirectX SDK, and DirectSound was placed in the deprecated list of development libraries for DirectX. What this means for developers like you and I DirectSound will likely be kept in the runtime releases for XP/Vista/Win 7 for backward compatibility purposes, but future DirectSound development is scheduled to be removed from the SDK as soon as XAudio2 gets wider adoption by software developers. As for the diferences between XNA and DirectSound it does depend on if you are using the managed XNA Framework or the unmanaged C++ libraries. If you are using the unmanaged XAudio2 library for C++ developers then it offers something similar to DirectSound. However, if you use the XNA Framework for Managed .NET developers then you are getting an extremely watered down SDK, and it doesn't have anything close to DirectSound features yet. In fact, your point about being watered down is the primary reason Microsoft added XAudio2 to the March 2008 SDK. Apparently many mainstream game developers complained about XAudio for their PC games, wanting something like DirectSound, so Microsoft added XAudio2 which is now a core part of the DirectX/XNA API for C++ developers. If you read all the release notes for DirectX it is pretty evident Microsoft is redesigning DirectX, and XAudio2 is going to be a core part of Windows 7, and DirectSound will likely be their for backward compatibility purposes only. That is my take on it. Munawar Bijani wrote: Hi, Is XNA really replacing DirectX in Windows 7? As far as I've heard about XNA--I haven't fiddled with the API at all--is that it lacks the powerful DirectSound capabilities because it's cross platform between Windows and XBOX; since XBOX isn't a full computing system, XNA had to be watered down to make it run on XBOX. As we know all too well, the limiting agent is the component that determines how much solution can be made. So if XNA really is replacing DirectX in Windows 7, that could mean bad news for developers. Munawar A. Bijani Are you certain you will awaken from bed tomorrow?

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 versus Vista
Hi Claudio, I don't know. There are a lot of development similarities between games for the XBox 360 and Windows Vista/Windows 7. They both use XNA, they both use the .NET Framework, and the both are a type of Winhdows platform. One major diference is that the XBox games are designed with XInput game controllers for the XBox and the PC versions obviously use keyboards and mice. So in order to run a XBox 360 game on Windows you would probably have to have an XBox 360 game controller hooked up to your PC. Since I don't writeXBox 360 games I don't know what is involved in making games for the XBox other than the libraries that are used on the XBox. Claudio wrote: Hello Thomas! Is it also possible to play XBoxGames on windows 7?

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 versus Vista
Hi Charles, It would be nice if Microsoft waited until their Windows releases were relatively stable before release, but their history has proven they always do otherwise. In 1995 Microsoft launched Windows 95 which was extremely unstable, was well known for major system crashes, and still used the Dos fat16 file system. In 1997 Microsoft rereleased Windows 95 with fat32 file system support, several bug fixes, an upgraded Internet Explorer, and generally was much more stable and dependable. In 1998 they launched Windows 98. Like 95 it had several bugs, constantly crashed, and was not a stable release. In 1999 Microsoft released Windows 98 SE which addressed and largely fixed bugs and issues in 98 classic. In 2001 MS released Windows XP which had many issues that wer addressed in service pack 1. In 2007 Microsoft released Vista which definitely had many bugs that took them a year to correct in service pack 1, and still not all of the issues have been fixed yet. Bottom line Microsoft is well known for rushing software releases, and then fix the products the best they can at some later point. Usually one or two years of extra work would have produced a solid and stable release. In fact, Microsoft's lack of software quality control is one reason I have stopped recommending, supporting, and buying their products. in general. When Apple released OS Leopard it was a rock solid, dependable, and powerful os with none of the bugs we see in Windows Vista. When Ubuntu released Ubuntu Linux 8.04 I haven't found many bugs in the operating system itself. Orca sometimes crashes unexpectedly, but it is no problem to restart Orca and continue on my way. I don't lose all of my data like I often do in Vista when the entire os crashes. Bottom line here is that Microsoft is this huge, well known, popular software company who is allowed to repeatedly to sell extremely buggy,unstable, and undependable software products. Everyone else like Apple, Ubuntu Linux, Sun Solaris, etc do their best to make their operating systems stable, dependable, and as bug free as possible before they are released to the general public. Why everyone buys Microsoft stuff when they fail time and time again to address stability and errors early on is a mystery. There are more stable operating systems out there such as Mac OS Leopard, but the general public pays them no mind.

Re: [Audyssey] my oppinion to the game market
Actually I talkedd to them about it and they said one replacement. As for the replacement fee it's 25% of the game's original cost, so it actually ranges from five to eight dollars. I had to replace keys for all my Draconis titles at the start of this year and I talked to them about it. Personally I don't mind their policies much since their keys aren't hardware specific and so it's worth saving them to a thumb drive. But I still like BSC's replacement policy best since you get four replacements per title per year.

[Audyssey] MK vs dc universe discussion
well you see, problem is the game can't be of a mature rating due to the crossover. Midway has stated though that they have no problem pushing it as close to mature as possible without crossing the line. I heard superman being burned by scorpion and it didn't sound too good lol. midway also confirmed that the MK characters and dc vilins will have fatalities, and dc heroes will have brutalities. Only finishing moves they've shown is scorpion's tosty, and superman's brutality where he smashes you through the ground by punching the character on the head repeatedly. ouch! also those punches with musical notes you heard was the new close kombat mechanic. I'm guessing here the more damage you do the higher the tone gets. - Original Message - From: Shadow Dragon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] fighting games was Re: my oppinion to the game marked Yeah, they're keeping the main elements of MK in, but for example, they won't be able to have fatalities as we know them anymore, the DC Universe doesn't allow for big bloody gorey attacks.

Hi Trouble, Well, what I meant to say is that I am confused as to wwhy people continue to buy Microsoft products. Yeah, I know full well in the mid 90's up until the last few years there wasn't much of a choice. However, that has changed now, but most people are not willing to switch even though they know Microsoft's stuff is not very stable, and takes various service packs and updates before it really becomes reliable. I guess it really comes down to the common psychilogical problem we all have is we hate change. We hate to learn something new, and you can't teach an old dog new tricks kind of thing going on. We are creatures of habit, and it takes something really major to change those hhabits.

Bottom line here is that Microsoft is this huge, well known, popular software company who is allowed to repeatedly to sell extremely buggy,unstable, and undependable software products. Everyone else like Apple, Ubuntu Linux, Sun Solaris, etc do their best to make their operating systems stable, dependable, and as bug free as possible before they are released to the general public. Why everyone buys Microsoft stuff when they fail time and time again to address stability and errors early on is a mystery. There are more stable operating systems out there such as Mac OS Leopard, but the general public pays them no mind. I must shake my head in utter confusion. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Hi thom Does one need an understanding of programming languages or mathematics in order to use genesis 3d? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 4:30 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] AGM was my oppinion to the game market Hi Kevin, We have not set a price for Genesis 3D at this time. First we need to finish developing it and make sure everything works properly before we can proceed how to market it, and deal with licensing the technology to third-party developers. The main issue is when we license the technology to third-party game developers it could potentially create hundreds of new accessible games for blind gamers. We need to make sure we can proffet from all of these new games, and get paid for our part in providing the core technology for all of the new games. It certainly won't bee free, and it will be designed for someone wanting to start his/her own part time game company out of it. One way we might be able to do this is sell the games through our web site for the third-party developers, and then collect say 25% of the proffet from the sales. If you sell $1000 in game sales we would take $250 for licensing fees, and the use of our shopping cqart and other services. This is how normal business partnerships like this works, and both you and I would get paid for the use of Genesis. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Back when Mac OS was going graphical in the early 90's Apple hired Microsoft, Bill Gates and his gang, to fix and add features to the newest version ofMac OS. Even though they had legal agreements up the butt, a friendly working relationship at that time, it turned out to be a mistake for Appple. As soon as Microsoft finished with their end of the deal they turned right around and stole, well, legally took all of the updates they just put in Mac OS plus all of Apples ideas and put them into Windows. Microsoft ended up getting all the glory for the features, and Mac OS looked like copy cats when it was their ideas and features to begin with. However, one big diference that were not lost on the true techies is that the wripped off Mac OS graphical user interface, we call Windows 95, was much less stable than Mac OS that was released for Apples' own desktops at the same time. Mac OS has always been more stable and better designed than Windows, but they made many mistakes like that one that allowed Windows 95 to be marketed with their own ideas, features, and graphics technologies at that time. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Chopper Challenge installation problems
This error is most likely caused if you are using a download manager. At the start of downloading a file the file is already created. Lets say you download a file of 40 mb so while in the download manager window when you hear jaws say 0 percent, if you go to the directory where you download the file, you will hear jaws say that the file is 40 mb in size although the download process only started. So if you stop the download process and you click on that file you will get the message that the setup files is corrupted. So my suggestion is, not to abort the downloading process. I'm using free download manager. There is a checkbox which says launch download when complete. And there is another checkbox which says: close dialogue when complete. So when these boxers are ticked, you will know when the download is completed. If you want to pause the download in the case where you want to go to bed and turn off your pc, if you click on stop, free download manager will save the point where you stopped. Next time you just go to free download manager via the programs menu and at the top of the list it will show the file that was paused, so you can just choose start download from the download pull down menu. hth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Standen Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2008 12:46 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Chopper Challenge installation problems Hi, Unfortunately, I am experiencing problems installing Chopper Challenge version 1.2.

Re: [Audyssey] old game companies we have not heard much about
Hi. Do they intend, as far as you've heard, to work on resource intensiveness? The primary reason i'm running xp still, other than the audio limitations, is I find vista slow. Jaws isn't as responsive there. I can't arrow quickly around because when I hit the top or bottom edge of my screen it then takes a while to scroll the entire screen and let me read the next line, slowing me down rediculously. Everyone claims vista is one blazing fast OS, how wrong they are. I've tried it on three different laptops and they've all done the same thing. One has a 1.8ghz core2duo, the next had a 1.81ghz turion64x2, and this one here has a core2duo 1.66ghz. this one is much better than the other two because I suppose vista business has a lower footprint and runs fewer processes. No media center to take care of and what? I don't know, i'm really disapointed though, you'd think ms'd be trying to really make it go fast, smaller, faster, easier. Oh, and do you know it takes me more steps to connect to the internet on vista? I need less steps in xp. Start menu, network connections, hit enter on wireless network connection, ok a little more than two but the option to do these things is berried unvariably deeper in vista than it is in xp. It's not more user friendly for me, except for the windows update feature which rocks. And, every time I want to connect to my school's dual t1 on vista I have to repair my local area network connection for some reason. In xp on the same computer I connect automatically. Speaking of computers, on this vaio here, whic h came with vista and now runs both vista and xp, on both opperating systems, when I run direct x stuff, like GMA shades of dooom, yes I put the extra o's in there on purpose, the stereo spectrum is really messed up. I think it tries to simulate surround sound. The result is when something is in front of me it's really hard to line myself up on it because it just sounds like it's in the center all the time. It's not like this with my other computers. If I walk up the hall, i'll heer the bleepbleepbleep noise, it sounds like the door is right in front of me. As I keep walking, the difference happens for one step here, the door will be completely on my left or completely on my right, if that makes sence, as I keep going I can hear what should have happened in the opposit as I approached. The door's sound will get quieter with each step I take and it will begin to sound more and more like it's directly behind me, but not quite make it before I can't hear the indicater for the door at all. Anyone know why they do that on this computer and what I can do about it? Clango does this too, even with the SAPI voices, when something is on the far right, it sounds like it's close to the cenbter but has some effect applied to it that sorta makes it sound like it's behind me. I think some people would like this but I dislike it with a passion. Oh and btw I have shades of doom set to stereo, not surround sound or what ever. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] old game companies we have not heard much about Hi Aaron, From what I have been told by my sources about Windows 7 I think it will be much more satisfactory than Vista. It is my understanding Microsoft wanted to get Vista out the door asap, and so it was rushed to production. Its new driver library, bugs, and other things hadn't been fully completed when it was initially released. They basically hoped they could address all the issues in service packs and through the Windows update service. In my personal opinion this is a dirty way to do business, but it is how they did it to get some initial up front capital. However, now they have Vista to tide them over financially what they are doing is working on addressing all the issues, bugs, and driver problems with Vista and putting them into service packs for Vista users. Those service packs are also being applied to Windows 7 which is basically going to be Windows Vista with all the bugs, issues, and service packs installed. Oh, they will probably add in afew extras like new wall papers, sounds, icons, themes, a new feature here or there, but I have been told it is not going to be a major upgrade. More of a Windows Vista with a new look and feel, and with many bug fixes and patches installed by default. Also for us programmers they are of course going to be removing many of the older libraries that have been around for ages, that are no longer needed, and are replacing them with the updated .NET Framework, XNA is going to basically replace DirectX as the core gaming API, and various other changes that are available for Vista, but weren't necessarily ready to ship with Vista last year. For example the XAudio2 library was just released this year, and now officially replaces DirectSound
[Audyssey] Genesis 3D was AGM
Hi Nicol, No, there is no need to learn to program or have good math skills to create games using Genesis 3D. Most of the design is through a level editor, and you will likely have to edit the level xml files to give it the names of what music tracks to play, names of what sound file is played when an action is performed, etc. For example, when a player shoots a weapon you might edit an xml line like PlayerFire= to read like PlayerFire=sound/guns/shotgun.wav which is basically just giving the PlayerFire variable the directory and file name to be used for the PlayerFire action. Anyway, all of this will be explained in depth once I am ready to release Genesis 3D to the public.That won't be for quite a long time yet as I have two games to finish first, and then I have months development and testing before Genesis will be ready for anything like public consumption. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 versus Vista
Hi Nicol, Windows 3.1 was released around 1993. As for screen readers for 3.1 there was Jaws for Windows 1.x, Jaws 2.0, and Slimware Window Bridge. I believe the first versions of Window Eyes came out around that time as well. As for the question, is anyone still running it, I certainly hope not. We are talking about a Windows interface that ran over MS Dos 6, and was designed for I286, I386, and I486 computers. We are talking slower than a turtle with three broken legs, and hard drives that were 100 to 500 MB if you were lucky. As far as memory goes if you had 4 MB of ram in your computer back then you were like a computer god. Most were lucky to have 1 MB ram. Grin. nicol wrote: When was windows 3.1 released?

Re: [Audyssey] old game companies we have not heard much about
Hi Aaron, I don't think there is going to be any major performence changes in Windows 7. The thing is in my own personal experience with Windows Vista if you want it to run smoothly you need no less than a 3 GHZ processor and 1 GB of ram. If you want it to run better get a faster processor and double the ram to 2 GB. Vista and Windows 7 were never designed to run on 1 GHZ and 2 GHZ systems, and for whatever the reason Microsoft falsified and under stated Vista's system requirements to in sure sales with people running older XP systems. What few people are realising is instead of smaller faster, etc Vista and Windows 7 are larger, more graphical, and need far more system resources than XP because they need all that for the 3D desktop, 3D animated icons, and the other crap they added to the os. There really isn't a good way to improve system performence unless MS decides to yank out all the new 3D graphics technology, gadgets, etc that comes with Vista. Valiant8086 wrote: Hi.

Mortal Kombat has really never posed a problem in terms of accessibility, unless you count the minigames that are in there where you need to go to unlock characters. On another topic, there's a shooter that comes from Namco, the same company responsible from Tekken, Soul Calibur, Time Crisis, and other wonderful games like that. It's called dead to rights. The neat thing about this shooter is its auto-aim... by holding r1, you can get a bead on an enemy.. just hit the fire button and wham.

You click on Computer and it brings up a file explorer like My Computer, click on the Gnome application button on the main pannel and you get a start menu, click on home and you get your personal directories, etc. This stuff isn't rocket science. The mere fact you stated that Linux is mostly command line driven just proves my point how wofully uneducated people are about other operating systems, and they certainly haven't been keeping up to date with changes in technology outside of the Windows only world. Fact is all three of the major operating systems Linux, Windows, and Mac OS have about equal graphical user interfaces with screen readers that work with them. I do know there are some users, such as those on the speakup list, that still are die-hard Linux command line users. Do remember it is their choice to use a command line only environment, and not a technological reason. A Linux user such as myself can quite easily live without the command line for most things. Trouble wrote: No, its the fact that at least 60% of the computer users are mousers, and don't know how to type. they were taught how just did think they would use or need it down the road. And the fact that linix is command line mostly and that kills if for those that don't like typing or don't spell. They get to hate that frays Bad command or file name, over and over. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] MK Versus DC
Hi, I know, The fighting games have just about gone as far as they can go, and it is not an extremely popular style of game to begin with. The market seams really geared for first person, third person, and RPG games mostly now days. Even our own little accessible community is looking for more in those catagories. Anyway, this really is a cool concept. I like the entire MK vs DC idea. I of course would be the DC universe characters as I have always been a fan of DC stuff. Smile.

Hi. Thanks, however Puppy1 is your idea, so therefore I cannot do that.

The thing is in my own personal experience with Windows Vista if you want it to run smoothly you need no less than a 3 GHZ processor and 1 GB of ram. If you want it to run better get a faster processor and double the ram to 2 GB. Vista and Windows 7 were never designed to run on 1 GHZ and 2 GHZ systems, and for whatever the reason Microsoft falsified and under stated Vista's system requirements to in sure sales with people running older XP systems. What few people are realising is instead of smaller faster, etc Vista and Windows 7 are larger, more graphical, and need far more system resources than XP because they need all that for the 3D desktop, 3D animated icons, and the other crap they added to the os. There really isn't a good way to improve system performence unless MS decides to yank out all the new 3D graphics technology, gadgets, etc that comes with Vista. Valiant8086 wrote: Hi.

One has a 1.8ghz core2duo, the next had a 1.81ghz turion64x2, and this one here has a core2duo 1.66ghz. this one is much better than the other two because I suppose vista business has a lower footprint and runs fewer processes. No media center to take care of and what? I don't know, i'm really disapointed though, you'd think ms'd be trying to really make it go fast, smaller, faster, easier. Oh, and do you know it takes me more steps to connect to the internet on vista? I need less steps in xp. Start menu, network connections, hit enter on wireless network connection, ok a little more than two but the option to do these things is berried unvariably deeper in vista than it is in xp. It's not more user friendly for me, except for the windows update feature which rocks.
