2009-11-19T18:00:00.002+10:00

Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6) is the latest, greatest and supposedly the most advanced release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system. This version introduces several major new features, such as an entire re-write of the Finder to take advantage of the new technologies introduced in Snow Leopard, full multi-touch support, a new version of Quicktime dubbed Quicktime X, and also a new Safari 4, which features Top Sites, Cover Flow, VoiceOver, expanded standards support, and built-in crash resistance. Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation and designed to be simple and intuitive, it’s what makes the Mac innovative, highly secure, compatible, and easy to use. Quite simply, there is nothing else like it.

WinRAR v3.90 - The Best Extracter of Them All (handles, ZIPS, RARS, ISO etc)

2009-11-19T17:26:00.002+10:00

WinRAR is a powerful shareware archive manager and data compression utility developed nearly entirely by Eugene Roshal, firstly released in 1995. It is one of the few applications that is able to create RAR archives natively, but can also handle ZIP archives, and unpacking of ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, EXE, 7z, and Z archives (Future versions of WinRAR are planned to include 7z creation). WinRAR also has the ability to create self-extracting and multi-volume (split) archives, helpful for creating game download parts. WinRAR usually costs $30USD.

How to Rip Games onto Your Computer's Hard Drive

2009-10-31T22:38:00.004+10:00

Ripping a game onto your computer is really easy, legal (if you own the disc), and can speed up game loading times. So, let's do this!:

Make an ISO image of the disk, using Magic ISO. (links to a torrent) Follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to successfully install Magic ISO.
Mount your file on a "virtual drive", by going into Magic ISO and going Tools > Make ISO from CD/DVD-ROM. A virtual drive is a CD/DVD drive that physically isn't there on your computer, but your system thinks that it's there and you can assign data to it by way of ISO files. Your computer won't know the difference between a virtual drive and an actual CD sitting in an actual CD-ROM drive. Anyway, let that load, it may take a while to complete. Also note that some games won't copy using Magic ISO, you possibly have to use another ISO software for that purpose, eg. Alcohol 120%.
Now browse to the ISO that Magic ISO made, right click then go Magic ISO > Mount (filename) to > (whatever drive you want to mount it to), then go to the virtual drive (from My Computer) and run the game.

That's it! Hope you enjoy!
