I have my screen refresh at 85 and Vsync on.
I remember getting around 160-170 with Vsync off, and 120 with calc normals (which I no longer use due to the fact it's glitchy). For some reason I set...

I can't help it...
Every time I see that pic of Jim on the board main screen (the outdated "chat with Jim Sachs" banner) it cracks me up!
The goofy smile and the moustache... it's just too much!
Sorry Jim! ;)

Do you ever SEE the Starfish climb?
Starfish just seems to be moving his arms when I watch him, and he only appears on/off the screen after the foreground lights have faded and reappeared. I've never actually see him climb the screen.

Dreamcast port
Ah well, I know it would never happen, but a guy can dream can't he? :)
Dreamcast could certainly handle it.
Btw, Jim has said on many occasions he's really an artist and not a programmer,...

I flashed mine to 1.15 which was the last official BIOS version (that actually came with Voodoo5 cards) - haven't seen any improvement really, but it hasn't hurt.
I even went to the trouble of...

Power Consumption
Quick question:
What consumes more power, a PC operating with a 17" monitor and powered speakers running the aquarium
or
A mid sized aquarium with a water pump, heater and light.
Just...

Re: Upx
Well, Upx cuts down the size of the executable quite nicely. Has no overhead and decompression is virtually instant. It's also free.
Hopefully when you have time you can fix those fish, as just...

Upx
Just for anyone (including Jim) who's worried about the size of the last version. 1.6 mb (too big for a floppy), Upx cuts it down to about 1.14 mb.
Also Jimbo, did you read my follow up post about...

Re: broken graphics

A keyboard with a radiator under the keys, of course the plastic would have to have a much higher tolerance to heat.
It's because typing on lonely winter nights with very stiff...

Thanks too :-)
I actually bought this before even having a 3D card! That's how much faith I had in it. I downloaded the demo version, and although it only ran at about 2 fps (software D3D emulation) I could picture...

Re: Aquarium "Tweaking" Trick
