    Do you have a link where it's possible to download the source code ? I wouldn't mind looking into that.:D
  2. Th3M1ghtyD8 TechSpot Paladin Posts: 794

    I think the link is down down, it was a link on the home page at http://www.nvmax.com. It was only up for a limited amount of time (i.e. a week). I don't think it's supposed to be redistributed, but I'll have a look and maybe put it on my webspace.

    BTW the source looks well messy to me :) , as I was going to "borrow" some tweaks from it, but took one look at the source, and gave up :) I might have another look at it soon though, cos some gfx tweaks would make my program a bit more useful.

    Nice strart but you need some tweaks dude. Two of those three are already done and the other I don't want. But you are on the right track.:)

    Has anyone got any new suggestions about my program. Since the last update I have added some more tweaks for both 9x and XP, but would value your suggestions, before I release the next update.

    Have you made an update since my last post? The link don't work...
    You might consider tweaks for different amounts of ram, size of cpu, ect. Give people a choice. You might even think about making two versions, one for 98 & Me and one for 2k & XP.

    I was just wondering, but I got to thinking about making a program that would utilize other computers users' bandwidth when they were not. Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about or know of any way this might can be done???

    I guess it would be kind of like distributed computing but with bandwidth instead of computer cycles.
  8. Didou Bowtie extraordinair! Posts: 5,898

    You are given a certain bandwidth cap by your ISP depending on the type of services you pay them for. I don't think you can simply add another user's bandwidth to yours.

    Well then, that just sucks for me then :)

    Guess I'll move on to bigger and better things...

    The graphics tweaks (aka Riva Tuner) are pretty easy to implement, and I should have them in the next release. Which I'll post in a week or so.

    The benchmarking side would be quite hard to do, but I will attempt it in time :)

    The "soft" CPU overclocking feature would be really useful, but at the moment I have no idea how I could implement it :confused:


    New website will be at http://tweakdb.tk soon

    Here is a quick preview of the latest update. I am hoping to have it up on my webspace by the end of the week.

    Other ideas:

    The auto pasword feature for Windows logo on (Very Handy)

    The ability to clear History, run web sites etc (Wink Wink)

    Counterstrike tweaks (Sorta Handy) (IM A CS FAN :eek:) )

    thats all for now......

    Disabling CD autoplay for all CD Drives ( DVD, CD-RW, etc... ) with just one click. I don't like having to set it to off for every CD Drive.
  18. Th3M1ghtyD8 TechSpot Paladin Posts: 794

    The CD Autorun should be easy to implement, so I'll try and get that done for the next release. Auto logon is certainly possible, and would be quite useful, so I'll try to do that as well.

    What CS Tweaks would you like ?

    I'd like to see it bend steel, give me money and toast buttered bread in the morning because I'm usually hungry when I wake up.

    I'd like to see it bend steel, give me money and toast buttered bread in the morning because I'm usually hungry when I wake up.

    Bend Steel = If you have a suitable Steel Bending USB Device
    Give Money = If you have a FIREWIRE ATM connected
    Toast Buttered Bread = Come on be Serious :D :D :D
