Also anyone heard of Real Desktop?

Media Players:
IF everything in the CCCP and Real Alternative cant play it, then you probably don't need to watch it.

VLC Sucks ass Reenee, its the best media player on the mac, because you're on a MACINTOSH. The Windows and Linux versions are abysmal. the "Everything you can throw at it" Comment is defeated by Galaxy Angel Rune Fansub. I guarantee that it will crash VLC.

Antivirus:
If you're into money, Kaspersky, if you're not, AVG.

Tools:
Speedfan is great, so is ISORecorder. Get them both for almost a meg of your hard disk gone, but lots of utility.

I'd be interested in this if I had a touch-screen monitor.

I installed SP3 on my sister's computer and it disabled the built-in ethernet port. I had to uninstall it to restore it.

Hiryuu · 08-13-2008, 11:50 AM

Wonder if it was a driver issue.

I had to uninstall SP3 on an XP Home system not too long ago because it fucked up the modem and uh...

...well, it wouldn't let the person play Scrabble. :\

JNES <<< FCEUX
ZSNES = SNES9x, but I used version 1.36 or 1.4x that has netplay. 1.51 sucks.
GENS is by itself is good but I'd get it from the below link.

Check here...

This goes hand-in-hand with sites like these.

Fusion is better than GENS.

Hiryuu · 08-13-2008, 05:51 PM

Ah KEGA...yea it is better than the ORIGINAL Gens by far...

However, that version I linked has been worked out the ass and has TAS/movie record/playback features and has become a whole lot more stable than the crap that it was...at least in my dealings with it and the GOODGENS set I have.

I used to use RockNESX for NES emulation but I quickly realized it SUCKS and JNES seemed to work a helluva lot better. I'm gonna check out this FCEUX though

Diskeeper Defragmenter

Version 10 and above.

I mean, the default defragmenter in Windows XP and Vista........but Diskeeper takes it WAY further.

TreeSize for keeping track of hard drive usage by file. The Professional version has fancy charts and graphs and Explorer integration.
