Would be nice if MS open sourced their "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" bridge before abandoning it .. Or perhaps we will get a replacement from the community.
We have used some of those (cheaper) windows mixed reality headsets in public exhibitions and museum kiosks, development was done on Valve's (more expensive) system using the SteamVR API, and they all run fine using MS's bridge software.

Comment Re:Features of Dexguard ideal for Malware (Score 2) 33

and this is why some (defunct imo) AV products have flagged executable packers for as long as i can remember. I have used a modified (header only) version of UPX for some products over the years, and time and time again, some AV will flag it as some generic virus. The reason I used it was to make it a little harder for script kiddies to clone the product, as just changing the UPX header would be enough to disable the generic unpacker scripts. It's gotten even worse in recent years, where a simple (un-obfuscated!) C# .net assembly that simply imports ReadProcessMemory from kernel32 gets flagged as a virus by the same "AV" products. I'm sick of AV products ignorantly flagging shit as malicious, resulting a a lot of extra support, while security-ignorant government mandated (very-well-obfuscated) backdoo... er i mean "bugs" are rampant.

Comment nintendo uses downloaded ROMs (Score 1) 334

Interesting fact is that Nintendo themselves downloaded ROM images from the internet for use in their Virtual Console. An example for this is a Super Mario Bros ROM for the NES. Where the image used on the console was stored in a format that was first implemented by the developer of the iNES emulator (Marat Fayzullin) and later adopted by other emulator authors. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...
