Taipei International Book Exhibition 2009 gallery

A small collection of cosplayers and other event photographs of Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) 2009 can be found here. Unlike Fancy Frontier, Petit Fancy, or CWT, there were very few cosplayers at TIBE. While the quality of cosplaying contests was very high, the atmosphere just couldn't compare to dōjin events.

Comic Exhibition Taipei 2009 -- Top-Insight

Image
Top-Insight International has also announced its official web page of events and merchandises during Comic Exhibition Taipei 2009. However, the index page seems to be incomplete, yet " hot merchandise " and " seiyū bundle pre-order " have been completed. (Man this is a bloody long page……) According to this list of merchandises, in addition to D.Gray Man , Gundam 00 , and NANA (all Top-Insight's flagships), Junjō Romantica and To Love-Ru have been listed as well. Looks like they've licensed those two fan-servicy titles (for girls and boys, respectively).

組裝老電腦，來玩老遊戲 Part 2: Windows 9x 環境

Image
續 前篇 與 噗浪原始討論串 ： Part 2: Windows 9x 環境 先說一下為什麼需要一台這樣的機器吧：如果能組到前一個噗最後提到的「首選」級機身，單純要安裝 Win9x 是絕對沒有問題的，特別是一些早期的 Win9x 遊戲對硬體需求並不高，像是 Fallout 2 雖然不再支援 DOS，但畫面與玩法與 Fallout 幾乎沒有什麼分別，硬體需求甚至跟初代一模一樣，所以大可以把 Win9x 安裝在同一個系統上，然後在 msdos.sys 設定多重開機選單 (BootMulti=1 及 BootMenu=1) 來切換。但是如果拿 Socket 7 的 CPU 搭配重視 DOS 相容性的 PCI 顯示卡來玩 Win9x 後期的遊戲會很吃力；反之，為 WinXP 或更之後的作業系統設計的硬體很可能根本沒有 Win9x 的驅動程式可用，像是我在 Part 1 一開始提及的那張 GeForce 7600 GS AGP 目前就只能躺在盒子裡當備品，因為它不支援 Win9x，而我在 WinXP 筆電上用 Mobility Radeon HD 4330 獨顯晶片就可以達到相近甚至超越 GeForce 7600 GS 的性能。所以單獨組一台硬體年份落在 1999-2004 之間的機身（ATI 與 nVidia 兩大家的顯示卡對 Win9x 的支援就止於 Radeon 9xx0 (R3x0 核心) 與 GeForce 6xx0 (NV4x 核心)，分別於2002及2004發表）會方便許多，而且這個年份的零件要取得很容易，價格也不貴。 作業系統當然是挑 Win9x 裡最穩定的 Windows 98 Second Edition (Win98SE)，雖然比起更晚的 Windows Me 要少了對隨身碟的原生支持，但在穩定度而言是 Win9x 之最；除了顯卡要有驅動程式支援（兩家最終支援 Win98SE 的旗艦分別是 Radeon 9800 XT 與 GeForce 6800 Ultra；我自己沒用過，不過有不少網站都提及前者的 Win9x 驅動程式一直用到 Radeon X800 / R4x0 核心的顯示卡上），其他方面也有諸多限制，例如主機板要配合顯示卡的話就要有 AGP 8x 的插槽，而且電壓對應也要確認好，不然有可能會把顯示卡燒掉。 儲存格式方面，Win98S...

CWT 19 gallery

Image
Soon after Fancy Frontier 12, CWT 19 was held on August 10, 2008. I didn't enter the exhibition area of CWT 19 but merely took pictures of cosplayers around the NTU stadium. The quality of cosplayers were exceptionally high; there were comical ones like this: ...and juicy ones like this: More pictures can be found here .
