Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who appeared on the cover of Madden NFL 20, eventually broke the "curse" when he would go on to win Super Bowl LIV, as well as the game's MVP award, on February 2, 2020. Sega and 2K were parted from the NFL license shortly thereafter fortunately for the latter, their 2K series of NBA games is still quite popular.Īlso of note is the Madden Curse, which has felled some of the great football players of the last decade, and was famous enough to have its own page on this wiki before it was decided to be cut. note Remember SEGA and 2K selling their NFL game for only $20? The NFL was pissed about that, believing nothing carrying the NFL logo should be presented as a "discount product". While many people blamed EA for buying out the license because they couldn't handle competition, the truth is that the NFL was going to give one franchise or the other exclusivity the venerable Madden franchise simply won the bidding war. The most notable incident happened in 2005, when it was announced that the Madden games would be the only football games allowed to use current NFL players and teams for (at least) the next few years. ![]() Still, the franchise has some detractors (mainly because, by this point, they've run out of things to add, so the latest sequels are more like roster updates). ![]() It's praised for its realistic level of play, to the point where the latest edition is frequently used to predict the outcome of big games up to and including the Super Bowl. ![]() The game that brought video football into the 21st century.ĭeveloped by Electronic Arts, John Madden Football, later shortened to simply Madden NFL, is the namesake of coaching legend John Madden, an American Football game based on the National Football League that has, since 1988, been released annually, and always falls among the top sellers of gaming each year.

![]() Before he can strike Ryoma, an older man steps out and says by that logic, he could kill the guard without issue. The guard opens up Ryoma's cell and draws his sword, telling him they are nothing alike- he is a higher ranked goshi than Ryoma, and he could easily kill Ryoma and no one would bat an eye. ![]() The guard makes to leave, but Ryoma asks if if he's okay with all this- after all, the guard is a goshi just like him and has to bow to the joshi all the same. The guard decides to "remind" Ryoma that in Tosa class trumps everything- anyone disrespects a joshi, even a desperate mother, that is a crime punishable by death. Ryoma is stripped of his weapons and clothes and thrown in jail, the guard asking why Ryoma would start causing trouble after having just gotten back from Edo. Ryoma yells that he's clearly aware of what he's done and what the consequences of his actions are, just as local police arrive to arrest Ryoma. He does so, with the other goshi mumbling about how Ryoma is really deep in it now that he's attacked a joshi. just after he beats the shit out of the two joshi for striking a woman. Ryoma is more than willing to take his punishment for stepping out of line. The second joshi yells that Ryoma doesn't know what he's dealing with, with Ryoma countering as he tosses the first joshi's sword away- if he were to raise a blade against a member of the higher caste, their fellow joshi scumbags would retaliate and raze the surrounding village to the ground. The mother takes Ryoma's opening and runs while Ryoma faces off against the joshi. With this opening, Ryoma tells the mother to take her daughter and run for it- he's a Tosa native, and he knows the joshi well enough to know they are beyond reasoning with. As Ryoma growls that Tosa hasn't changed in the slightest, the second joshi draws his weapon and asks who Ryoma is, and why he isn't bowing like the other goshi. The mother recovers and bitterly asks if the joshi are really all that special, wishing she had never moved to Tosa from Ozu as the samurai there would have gladly helped her and her daughter- do they really expect her to put them over her own flesh and blood? One of the joshi draws his sword and asks the woman who she thinks she is, talking to them like that, but before he can strike the woman Ryoma breaks ranks, grabs the sword, and decks the guy. The mother apologizes and begs mercy for herself and her daughter, but the joshi don't care and smack the mother to the ground, saying that if the girl dies then that's just fate and she should know better than to break ranks and try to defy them. The joshi stop her and ask what she thinks she's doing. Ryoma joins the crowds in paying respects to the joshi, but ultimately the mother cannot take the cries from her daughter and breaks ranks to try and get some medicine. Before the mother can leave to find help, though, a pair of joshi (higher-caste samurai) begin strolling through town, and the townsfolk (being lower-caste goshi) must part and bow to them as they pass by. A nearby doctor inspects her and tells the girl's mother that it's her appendix, and she'll need Western medicine if she is to get better. As he wanders into town, there is a commotion ahead: a young girl doubles over in pain while her mother calls for help. Ryoma returns to his home in Tosa after spending a year training his swordsmanship in Edo (modern day Tokyo). Powerless against the advanced Western weapons, the samurai and the shogunate realized how weak their rule was, and as samurai do not serve weak rulers civil unrest began to form among the populace. The real Ryoma narrates what lead up to that point: for 300 years Japan had been under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate (the Bakufu), but the arrival of American warships under command of Commodore Matthew Perry destabilized and would ultimately undo the Bakufu. "Sakamoto Ryoma", famed hero of the Ishin period, was murdered that night. The third man says it's ironic that a man so set on moving to the future would get cut down by another stuck so firmly in the past, a man who isn't supposed to exist killing a man with two lives. The viewpoint character finds another injured samurai in the room before a third man sitting at the window draws his attention. The viewpoint character continues on to find the upper level of the inn seemingly empty, narrowly avoiding an ambush from a gunman before cutting the attacker down. ![]() As three of their number fight off the guards, the viewpoint character charges upstairs, his compatriots telling him to find Sakamoto Ryoma before he can escape. A group of Shinsengumi approach an inn on a stormy night, charging in and attacking the men inside. ![]() ![]() ![]() Custom Monopoly Templates include game board layout with classic color.

If you want to see the applet work, visit Sun's website at, download and install Java VM and enjoy the applet. This applet requires Sun's Java VM 2 which your browser may perceive as a popup. The game has a very fine theory that in part demonstrates the economical manner in which mathematicians like solving their problems - they try solving smaller and simpler problems first. If you discover a nice starting configuration, I'll be happy to incorporate it into the applet with due references. When it's checked, you either set or remove pegs from the board. You may try creating your own starting configuration by selecting "Design your own". You are able to retract as many moves as you made in a single game. Do not be afraid to experiment during the play: you can always backtrack by pressing the Undo button. (In the applet, there is a normally disabled checkbox Center to indicate the goal.) Configurations are selected from a combobox at the lower right corner of the applet. In others, to end up with a single peg at the center of the board. In some, the goal is to reverse the starting configuration. Other starting configurations are available. Therefore, the goal for this configuration is to end up with a single peg in the middle of the board. ![]() At the beginning, you are presented with the standard configuration where just one peg - the central one - is missing. The goal of a regular game is to reverse a starting configuration: Positions with pegs must become empty while empty positions should be filled with pegs by the end of the game.

This seems to be a driver issue in some Intel HD 4xxx models.Users with Intel HD Graphics 3xxx and older will use Swiftshader. Older Intel iGPUs have driver issues on both OpenGL and ANGLE D3D drivers.Which GPUs will be switched to use ANGLE or Swiftshader rendering is determined as follows: Official communication on this issue was finally provided in the form of comments in the release notes for Emulator 26.1.3: My suggestion, stick with Android 7 emulators when using hardware acceleration for Intel Haswell and older iGPUs. Using the Intel iGPU works great on Android 7, but is flaky on Android 7.1 and doesn't work at all on Android 8. So they are purposely falling back to using software emulation which better supports the new Android emulators. It appears that Intel iGPU drivers for Haswell (4th gen) processor and older don't support OpenGL well enough for Android 7.1+ devices. Intel iGPUs of that generation (and older) have many issues with OpenGL compatibility. I'm sorry about it, but we need to be able to switch to better-supported Intel GPU drivers especially when running high API levels (25+) of system images. If you have just a Intel HD 4xxx running the emulator, it's intended that a compatibility renderer be used. Open settings with Ctrl-Shift-S then, depending on the version of the emulator, either go to Settings -> General -> OpenGL ES renderer or to Settings -> Advanced -> OpenGL ES rendererĪnother comment on the bug report provides further illumination on this issue: ANGLE is Direct3d based OpenGL emulation.Īs per the comment this is not guaranteed to work, indeed I am able to re-enable hardware acceleration for Android 7 emulators, but with hardware acceleration enabled, all I receive is a black screen for Android 8 emulators. SwiftShader is CPU based OpenGL ES emulation, so this setting will not provide a speedup. Options are OpenGL, ANGLE and SwiftShader. If an Intel GPU is the only GPU available on system it is possible to re-enable accelerated rendering of OpenGL ES, by overriding the default OpenGL ES renderer in settings (see below). The solution is to, if possible, switch to using an external GPU for running the emulator. It appears that this message is being displayed for all systems using Intel GPUs, not just systems running specific versions of a graphics driver. Settings page, then changing the OpenGL ES renderer to "ANGLE Your own risk, you may switch back to using the Intel GPU by going to Order to make the emulator more reliably run on Intel GPU drivers.

Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 were given names of big cats as internal code names ("Cheetah" and "Puma"). MacOS retained the major version number 10 throughout its development history until the release of macOS 11 Big Sur in 2020. The operating system was further renamed to "macOS" starting with macOS Sierra.įrom the introduction of machines not supporting the classic Mac OS in 2003 until the introduction of iPhone OS in early 2007, Mac OS X was Apple's only software platform. Lion was referred to by Apple as "Mac OS X Lion" and sometimes as "OS X Lion" Mountain Lion was officially referred to as just "OS X Mountain Lion", with the "Mac" being completely dropped. Starting with the Intel build of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, most releases have been certified as Unix systems conforming to the Single Unix Specification. The macOS Server app was discontinued on Apand will stop working on macOS 13 Ventura or later. Starting with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, macOS Server is no longer offered as a standalone operating system instead, server management tools are available for purchase as an add-on. Since then, several more distinct desktop and server editions of macOS have been released. The desktop version aimed at regular users- Mac OS X 10.0-shipped in March 2001. It was built using the technologies Apple acquired from NeXT, but did not include the signature Aqua user interface (UI). MacOS was first released in 1999 as Mac OS X Server 1.0. To ease the transition for users and developers, versions through 10.4 were able to run Mac OS 9 and its applications in a compatibility layer. The transition was a technologically and strategically significant one. Īlthough it was originally marketed as simply "version 10" of the Mac OS (indicated by the Roman numeral "X"), it has a completely different codebase from Mac OS 9, as well as substantial changes to its user interface. However, the current macOS is a Unix operating system built on technology that had been developed at NeXT from the 1980s until Apple purchased the company in early 1997. That system, up to and including its final release Mac OS 9, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its Mac computers since their introduction in 1984. The lack of proper documentation might turn you off but in essence X-Mouse is fairly easy to use and can be helpful in the right circumstances.The history of macOS, Apple's current Mac operating system formerly named Mac OS X until 2011 and then OS X until 2016, began with the company's project to replace its "classic" Mac OS. X-Mouse is more useful if you're using a mouse with more than 3 buttons (up to 5 to be exact). No embedded documentation (but it's not that difficult to comprehend).It makes you wonder why Windows doesn't already have such an option.What it might be nice for me to mention though is that in order to access the window while running, you will need to right click on its icon in the notification area and select "Setup". Still, you can quickly experiment to find out what does what. Instead of having an embedded help document, X-Mouse invites you to visit its homepage and forums. Layers can be named ! What's not that great is that the documentation for X-Mouse is not very accessible. For example, you might want the buttons to behave differently while you play a video game than when you work on a spreadsheet. If that is not enough, there are layers for you to bind multiple controls to the same button. For example, you can set up right click to work as a Back button in Firefox, but still be a right click everywhere else. X-Mouse supports up to 5 buttons which can be set up as a default profile, but can also be reconfigured to work differently depending on which window is active at the time. By attributing a new function from a drop-down list. X-Mouse Button Control can completely change the button configuration of your mouse. Still, in case you don't agree with the majority, there is another option for you. In turn, almost everybody knows how to handle a mouse and considers it easy and intuitive. Its basic functions have been established no matter what new ergonomic designs have appeared over the years. The mouse has been a staple computer peripheral for about thirty years. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you see an asterisk in the Gpt column corresponding to the HDD, then is GPT. Launch diskpart from cmd and type list disk. Here is how you can check the HDD in Windows. Windows booted from MBR cannot be installed on GPT disk. You just have to know how the primary OS was installed and boot from the installation media of the second one in the right mode. Modern OSes (Windows newer than 7 and 64 bits Ubuntu newer than 12.04.2 and 64 bits) can be booted and installed in both EFI and BIOS modes. What is the problem here? Well, if you have a GPT partitioned disk (by an installation started in EFI mode) and try to install Windows by booting it in compatibility mode (MBR), it will recognize the drive partitions but will ask you to format the entire HDD. Otherwise, it is very probable to be MBR, no matter if the PC supports UEFI. If the OS has been installed in EFI mode, the partition table is GPT. It's just the same partition table information it used, also known as MBR (master boot record). Of course I'm not talking about the operating system. But now I have to reinstall one of the OSes. Here are some common situations that we will talk about: Because Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distributions, it will be used during this tutorial. This post will give solutions to some common situations. Before wiping the whole HDD to install Windows, consider dual booting. Several manufacturers also started to sell preinstalled Linux computers. That's because they can't find an alternative for their everyday apps on Linux or can't play some games. But before completely giving up Windows, many users want to have both OSes on their PCs. Linux distributions are becoming more and more popular.
