Is there some version of MK Trilogy I should know about? The PS1 and Saturn ones have horrendous load times (Shang Tsung morphing locks the game up for 7 seconds :stare: ) and the N64 one sounds like hot farts. Why hasn't anyone hacked MK Trilogy into the UMK3 arcade ROM? Why not done?

What is the version of MKT you like?

I play the Playstation version in an emulator which pretty much eliminates load times.

This is untrue unfortunately. The load times are "hard programmed" into the game. It's the same reason the PS3 and Vita PS1 ports of Final Fantasy VI still have poo poo load times

Are you talking about the genuine PC release from like 1998 that doesn't work on anything past Windows XP? Or is there some custom/hacked version of the PS1 game where people took the load times out?

To people looking to use LTSB, keep in mind that Microsoft is slowly gutting it of common compatible applications, and you won't be able to run the newest version of Office at all.

I tried it a few months ago. It took like 4 hours of fuckery to get it working and when I finally did, it didn't have sound (even with mounting the disc to the D:). Not to mention it looked like poo poo on my MAME cabinet for some reason (is it some weird aspect ratio or something?)

link? I'm googling around for this and see that they whined about it on the Surface because of it not getting "critical feature updates" (lmao) but nothing about office

e. I mean okay the feature updates they mean include pen support stuff, so it's slightly more valid with the Surface, but lmao critical features none the less

The last update killed my desktop in a way that seems irreversible. It freezes if I do anything more intensive than play a movie. Pausing the movie or fiddling with the settings is also too much for it to handle.

This happened to me too and I had to update the firmware on my SSD to fix it

it still freezes sometimes but not like, every time I have a game and chrome running at the same time anymore (why do i even have 16gb of ram lol gently caress you bill gates!!!)

im a big fan, but my bookkeeper, copy editor, artistic director, and development director aren't. this is the story at 90% of offices.

in my dream world, all the tarded executives use thin clients and do all their poo poo in the clod, creatives and contractors can do whatever i don't care, but we don't live in that world. we live in a world where hard the disc installed office client somehow reigns supreme.
