    How to save state on flash games

    Is there a way to save the state of a flash game like SNES emulators do with their games? I've had a look around but there seems to be nothing. The only thing I can think of is to boot up a virtual machine, install flash onto it and save the state of the whole thing but this seems a bit...

    EAX Worth it?

    Well it was doing it only a lot worse with the onboard analog which is why I switched back to my old Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 where there are no such artifacts only a slight bit of noise over analog. I think it's just the onboard is a bit screwed. I've also just had a sudden thought...

    EAX Worth it?

    How do you do this? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob to these things =/ I also heard crackling and popping every time the hard drive was accessing information when I was using the onboard coax Could you describe what the EAX actually did? I've only got one game that I play at the moment which...

    EAX Worth it?

    What? No it's not I've tried plugging it directly into the onboard but I can hear loads of noise in the signal (even when using coax). Also the onboard doesn't support S/PDIF passthrough so therefore doesn't support DTS which is really what I want. I'm now using my old Sound Blaster Audigy SE...

    EAX Worth it?

    Ok so I should really just buy an X-Plosion and use the saved money to save for a PS3? Does the X-Plosion have full functionality in Vista x64? Also does it support 5.1 positional audio in games? I've heard some comparisons of games with and without EAX on youtube and the creative website but...

    EAX Worth it?

    I'm currently deciding between an Auzentech X-Plosion Cinema and a Prelude. I'm using Z-5500s through a coax connection through my onboard connection (Realtek HD codec on a P35-DS3L) and it sounds terrible =( Now the X-Plosion and the Prelude look pretty much the same for my needs (DTS...

    Z-5500 and digital audio questions

    It says the nominal impedance is 6 Ohms. What does this mean?

    Z-5500 and digital audio questions

    So that's the only real difference between onboard and a $250 sound card when using coax? If so I'll just get a PS3 and play GTAIV and MGS4 in surround via optical instead. And what the hell is EAX and OpenAL then? My Gale monitors are passive and are rated as 15-90 Watts into 4-8 Ohms and...

    Z-5500 and digital audio questions

    But what would DTS connect affect? Because DVDs are already encoded and music will use PCM (right?) and games use OpenAL in Vista. And since I'll be using coax/optical the analog output would be wasted. Could I save some money and just simply stick a coaxial into my onboard to my Z-5500s and get...

    Z-5500 and digital audio questions

    Oh really? so if I'm using coax and pass through the only real reason to buy one of those really expensive cards would be if I want good surround from games or I'm professionally working with audio otherwise the sound quality will be exactly the same for music/movies? Also do you know if I...

    Z-5500 and digital audio questions

    Sorry I didn't know where else to post this =/ Anyway I've recently bought the Logitech Z-5500s as an upgrade from my X-210s and although the sound is miles ahead of my old speakers there is still a bit of noise when it's supposed to be silent. I've got it on the 6 channel direct connection...
