Q-Gears / Potential Plugin?

« on: 2007-06-29 12:33:46 »

I had an idea recently while thinking about Q-Gears. Now, technicly if  I remember correctly, this is an emulation of the original emulation and without using any original work this makes it legal. With that being said... I wonder about the legalities of a seperate yet pluginable program that could utilize the FF7:AC soundtrack. Now I know there's some programs that toy with this already, but I haven't found one that does it easily. If i'm correct, making a backup of a soundtrack and utilizing it for personal use is completely legal. Now that being said, if the program also relied on the disc that should also add credibility to the program and would be a nice boost to what Q-Gears can do.

No, I am not asking the Q-Gears staff to do a thing. Rather i'm asking what the thoughts would be if another took up doing this said program once Q-Gears hits some stable beta releases. (I know this is extremely far off, and i'm -still- trying to learn the programming languages behind it to help. *9,000 years later*)

Thoughts?

Q-Gears / Q-Gears Topic/Reply Restrictions

« on: 2006-10-08 14:57:15 »

Since this section is as closely related to the topic, I am posting it here. I noticed that in the read me thing it says do not complain about errors unless you are a developer or willing to put in time for the Q-Gears project. Well, I believe that errors are a VERY important step to developing an engine. If the creator does not find the error, yet someone else does it really -needs- to be reported. However, I also believe it should only be reported ONCE. Perhaps we can get a Q-Gears Bugs topic? I think that would relieve some of the much built up stress going around the forums and also encourage others to pinpoint the issue and possibly correct it. =/

Completely Unrelated / GHZ Wars with RAM!!!!

« on: 2006-10-08 01:42:54 »

It's official, RAM has broken into the GHZ wars! For all you overclockers, this is a must see!

DDR2 1,000MHz - http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=26794

DDR2 1,066MHz - http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=30976

DDR2 1,250Mhz - http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32276

DDR2 1,333MHz - http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34375

*XDR DRam 4,800Mhz (HOLY CRAP!) - http://www.stargeek.com/item/306998.html

* - Xtreme Data Rate

Notes: DDR3 will be hitting us between 2007-2008, I wonder what THOSE speeds will be like ^.^. XDR DRam is projected to hit 8,000MHz by 2000? (Not sure where in between 2006-2009 it will be). WTF kind of motherboards will support those monsters!?

Note 2: The most common ram i've seen is DDR-SDram 333 (mhz)

Q-Gears / FF7 Extensions (merged)

« on: 2006-10-06 17:28:43 »

I need to know how to access these files so I can start messing with them. I may possibly be able to mess with stuff for Q-Gears or as seperate add-ons. Here is the list!

.tim
.lgp
.dat
.tex
.lmd
.ply
.bin (I've only ever known them to reference to .ISO files so... i'm at a loss)
.sf2
.idx
.bot
.map
.p
.dll (C++ editor maybe?)

If you have any information on any of these extensions in reference to FF7 please let me know. If you know what programs I could use to access them that would be even better! Thanks in advance! ^.^

This patch is EVIL! Do NOT use it if you ever want to hear a midi correctly again! It's official, it DOES repalce a windows system file. I have to use system restore to rid myself of this evilness! NEVER AGAIN!

Q-Gears / Q-Gears Bug Finding?

« on: 2006-10-06 11:49:20 »

I didn't see anything like this recently posted, so instead of getting yelld at for being a 'Necromancer' I am makeing this post. ^.^

My question is, do you need someone to crash and break the Q-Gears engine to find bugs? I love to find bugs and I wanted to know if it would help at all. Also I have a good reputation for finding bugs in systems that includes, but is not limited to...

Star Wraith
Guild Wars
Cobolt Online
Gunz
Windows Vista Beta
Internet Explorer Beta 7
