I’ve released an updated WHDLoad patch for Kingsoft’s gravity cave fighter, Gravity Force.

The patch fixes a logic bug where the high scores are not saved if you didn’t use any of the cheats the patch provides, instead of not saving if you did use cheats. Thanks go to daxb for finding and reporting this problem.

Download the patch, instructions and pre-installed image from girv dot net or from the Official WHDLoad Website.

I recently upgraded my main computer, but the ventilation capabilities of my existing case couldn’t deal with the increase in waste heat coming from the new components and the system “ran hot”. Adding more fans wasn’t really an option as the system was already quite noisy so a new case with better cooling was in order. After some research on the interbeams, I decided on the Antec P182…
