Re: is it possbile to develop emulation-virtualization hybrid?

Spamming the CPU with useless instructions sounds like a profoundly silly idea if you ask me. The proper way to slow down a virtual machine is to simply give it less CPU time. VirtualBox, for instance, allows you to limit CPU utilization by a VM to a certain percentage, which can be very helpful for...

Re: Plantronics ColorPlus and Sierra SCI0 based games

Hi there! The existence of this thread must have escaped me, somehow! I only noticed it, yesterday. I myself have written a Plantronics SCI driver, too, but only started this August. This looks like a good opportunity to exchange some experiences. Two things that I noticed about your driver (besides...
