I was watching a tool-assisted speedrun of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and I noticed that the players spend a lot of time turning green eggs yellow or red. What advantage do red or yellow eggs have over the green ones?
I feel really silly but I can't figure how to use it. I did read FAQ, nothing about basic usage there.
Basically I just open program, load the replay, and thats it, I don't see no charts nor anything. The only thing that is shown is the name of the map played... what am I missing?

Whenever I play ilomilo, I can't keep track of which character is ilo (Ilona), and which character is milo (Milton). I really enjoy ilomilo, but I need to know which -ilo is which, because in ilomilo I'm constantly getting my milo confused with my ilo, and my ilo confused with my milo. I feel t...
I have been trying on and off for a couple years now to remember the name of this old PC game I played back in the early 90s. It was a Disney educational game targeted towards young children (think I was 7 or 8 at the time). The game started off with Mickey in his bedroom of his huge house, and y...
When I was younger, I played this game on my grandparents' Commodore 64.
From what I could find, it's not Jeep Command nor Silkworm, but the gameplay almost identical to Silkworm. I remember the jeep being quite big (especially the wheels) and, if I can remember correctly, was only an outline. A...

@Fabian I don't know. A bunch of people who are supposedly experts on computers think I'm right, but a bunch of people who are supposedly experts on playing games think I'm wrong.
For Windows the maximum user-mode virtual address space per process on 32bit versions of Windows going back to Win2k is 2GB by default but can be extended to 3GB with the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE and 4GT compiler options in Visual Studio.

Say you have a program that allocates 1GB of memory. Run three copies of it. Now you have a total of 3GB of allocated memory. At most 2 GB of this is in the physical RAM. The rest is in swap.
As one comment states over there:
> I don't see anything wrong with the lockergnome article except 1 sloppy use of a term (RAM) that everybody misuses anyway to mean any memory. I had to read it three times to find that anyway.
> Each application can also utilize up to 2 GB of memory. This is true regardless of the number of applications on the server and despite the operating system’s ability to natively recognize only 4 GB of total memory. If the total memory requirements of all applications exceed 4 GB, the memory manager uses a paging file to substitute for RAM. This process is described in the following paragraphs.
So then, the only difference between a 32-bit executable on either a 32-bit or 64-bit OS is that the total amount of RAM is higher, and if it is compiled properly, it will get 4 GB of RAM on a 64-bit machine.
> To be perfectly clear, this isn't a Windows problem-- it's an x86 hardware problem. The memory hole is quite literally invisible to the CPU, no matter what 32-bit operating system you choose. The following diagram from Intel illustrates just where the memory hole is:
Except this problem doesn't exist on Linux.
> If your hardware is physically capable of addressing more than 4gb of RAM (this can be limited in the chipset), then you can access up to 64 gigs of RAM with Linux in 32-bit mode. Using PAE, which is invisible to applications, you just don't have to worry about system memory; if you've got it, you can use it.
When the game starts, I get time-gems rather frequently, but they seem to become very rare after a very short time.
Are there some special moves/combinations that trigger the appearance of these "time-gems"? Or do they appear completely random?

I'm disappointed, I must play more of those fancy Japanese games. My selection of "uber" addendums is too limited for my tastes.
> It's called "tool assisted," meaning two things. First, it means the computer played the game, the guy didn't. Second, it means he was a huge tool and sat for hours programming the button combos for the computer to do this.

When I kill someone with a combat knife in Bad Company 2, the player's name along a dog tag appears on the screen. I have noticed that the colour of the dog tag is not consistent.

My told me about the settings.ini file for BC:2 where you could increase your field of view.
The default value looks like:
Fov=55
I am wondering if there are any reasons I shouldn't do this, or if I will get banned for setting this value higher than 55.
One could argue that the stickers should be left in place to keep the laptop as originial as possible, it proves (to some degree, I know you can remove a sticker and put a new one on) what processor and OS came with the PC and such...I like them, but maybe that's just me...
A mod should know better than to post that as an answer.
Personally, I think it makes things harder to see.

Correction: There are two real types and three "virtual" types. The real types are String and integer, the three virtual types are Float, char, and bool.
