Thanks Oscar. Does Marte have an id #?

when I first started modding, I had an HP Pavillion zd8000 with a pentium 4 in it, and it ran smoothly. It was pretty high end at the time but that sucker ran hot. My friends had more basic models and the game ran, but there were times that it was choppy.

I see what you mean. I have a corsair 800d case, so it's huge. So yeah having another desktop takes up some room. I got lucky because I have a nice large desk, so I made it work. Plus I like being able to hook it up to my monitors rather than a laptop screen. None the less, if you can find an old gaming laptop with a pentium 4 or core 2 chip, you should be good to go.

yeah it's been too long. it's just so much easier to do it now that i have an xp machine again.

i'm not a fan of laptops for this. If you want an xp machine for a laptop, you need to get a gaming laptop with a dedicated graphics card. so a dell xps, alienware, or something like that. but the thing about these generation of chips is that they run hot, so those laptops aren't as durable as a desktop. it'll be harder to come by for one that's in working order. desktops are just a lot easier to work with.

I'm really encouraging everyone to do it if you play or mod mvp. it's really inexpensive and it runs so smooth.

If you ever get a chance to switch to an ssd, it's really smooth. But so far I don't have anything else installed except CCleaner, MVPedit, and oedit. Runs really fast. Photoshop opens right up and doesn't lag at all. I know over time it'll slow down, but I'm going to backup the fresh install to an image file and reinstall it if it starts to slow.

Kind of sounds like what I went through. I eventually found a non-profit that sells used computers and they have tons of old core 2 duo machines for $50 so I grabbed a mini tower. I ended up returning it for a mid size tower because my graphics card wouldn't fit. I also had an ssd lying around so it was just perfect. Just got it networked so I can access files on my computer with ease and not have to be burdened by intrusions from using the internet on it. But it's up and running and hooked up to my same monitors, so I switch back and forth. The only shame is that I can only hook up to two monitors because the gpu isn't strong enough to run three. But man MVP and photoshop run so smooth on a clean install of XP.

Got my XP machine built and all set up. just took a few months and decided to give the girl a run for her money. brings back a lot of memories whipping this out.

yes you can do it in oedit. i just don't remember which file it is, but if you change it, it will change every shin guard in the game. remember oedit only runs on xp or in xp mode.

well on a serious note to the OP's question, yes it was talked about years ago but it never materialized. how old am i that I remember this?

Nightengale: Some complained about LaRoche's son
Homer replied to DaSteelerz's topic in Baseball Talk
now we're talking. this is what I see too. there's definitely more to the story, but it just seems that it was very poorly handled no matter what the reason was. -

the job where you and your employer agree before you sign a contract that allows you to do so. again trying to argue like his job is like any ordinary job is just another distraction from the issues on this team. -

Homer replied to DaSteelerz's topic in Baseball Talk
i agree. i think the story clearly distracts from the real issue at hand and it has nothing to do with the kid being there. it has everything to do with the fact that they had an agreement with Laroche to allow him there, and the really poor way that they handled it. -
Is Bryce Harper's take on baseball slightly true?
Homer replied to DaSteelerz's topic in Baseball Talk
like i said, unwritten rules need to go. you play to win or you go home. you don't play to not hurting the other team's feelings. yeah I think most of us can agree. but the fact that it was okay for him to act like that just goes to show you how little accountability there is for the pitchers. -

Homer replied to DaSteelerz's topic in Baseball Talk
whatever they do, they should get rid of the unwritten rules. they're petty and childish. colby lewis starting moaning last year because someone bunted on him when they played an infield shift. that garbage just needs to stop. -

catchers should do this on every strike: -

Homer replied to DaSteelerz's topic in Baseball Talk
i think there should be flash mob every time there's a strike. each batter should have full pyro and entrance theme. -
yeah but besides that, what else did they do?
-
i think that's the idea. it's an arcade style game.
