ZSNES is a free Super Nintendo emulator software for x86 computers. Emulator is a software which is designed to create a virtual environment for a program for its running; on the host computer. ZSNES emulator software can be executed on Windows, MS-DOS and Linux operating systems.
 Features of This Emulator Software:
 Interface And Working Of This Emulator Software:The interface is the simplest you can get from any software! ZSNES has a basic look in its appearance. It will give you a feel of going back in time to use the Windows 95/98 software. The first tab of Game is used to Load a game and Save a State, Pick a State or Open a State. With the Config tab, you can configure your CPU parameters. Speed, Audio-Video settings, Destination Paths, Chip's; everything can be controlled from here. With the special feature called Cheat, you can browse and search the existing Cheat Code book; while the option of adding your own Cheats exists too! Netplay is concerned with Internet connectivity. GUI options and the Key configuration can be edited with this tab. Also, check out free CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive emulators.  Downloading and Installation Of This Emulator Software:I downloaded this emulator software from a software sharing portal and it got saved as a zip file. After opening it, there were only documentation files and a few source code files stored in C and CPP formats. There was no executable file present and I had to search all over the internet, for installing the software!I finally downloaded this emulator software from another website and it got downloaded as an executable setup file, much to my relief! I installed it quickly and it hardly took any time to get launched. You would also like to check out free American Roulette Emulator. Final Verdict:ZSNES is very basic in its operational objective and proves to be a utility only to those who want to bring the days of Prince of Persia and Alladin back! I enjoyed the experience of playing Prince of Persia on the emulator software, as its very simple to operate.It may prove difficult to obtain the Game CD's of these software but if you do have them it's worth giving a try to this Software.

Firemin is a free application designed to eliminate memory leaks on Mozilla Firefox browsers. The program comes with a memory management engine applied to both the browser and its extensions to ensure that memory leaks are eliminated. Mozilla Firefox has for a very long time been plagued by memory leaks which are quite evident when the program is left to run for long. Running Firefox continuously for a period of about a few days causes the browser to consume about 600MB of memory which increases with longer the program is left to run. For a browser, this is too much and is a clear indication of memory leaks. Firemin simply eliminates these memory leaks. Features and usefulness of this free Memory management program
How to use itThis memory management app for Firefox requires no installation, all you need to do is unzip the program files into a directory of your choice and run the program from there. When opened, the program minimises to tray. The program does not have anything you can call a user interface, rather, everything is accessed via the tray icon. Optimizing your browser memory management is very easy, right click on the tray icon and select Optimize Firefox. A dialog box with a progress bar opens and takes you through the optimization process. Program settings can be accessed by clicking Options. From here you can set Firefox to open in either normal or safe mode when Firemin is launched. You can also set the intensity of optimization using the provided slider. If optimization is done very fast , Firefox uses less memory but more processing power is needed and vice versa. It is therefore recommended that you strike a balance between memory usage and processing power needed.  VerdictFiremin is a simple effective tool to eliminate memory hogging in Firefox. It does what Mozilla developers have been unable to do for quite sometime now.No related posts.

Downloading And Installation Of This Anti Spyware Software:I downloaded the setup file and it was somewhere around 2 MB in size. I tried installing, but got an error message that the software will only get installed on Windows 98/XP/Vista. I was using Vista, so I was taken aback by the error message. However, after going ahead with force installation, I finally finished the setup. After clicking on the icon of Arovax Shield, I got another error which stated 'file or device is missing, contact the provider'.I was perplexed with these errors so finally had to install it on another system, which had a Windows XP operating system. Am not too sure if others have encountered similar problem, but I had a torrid experience while trying to install the software. Also, check out Advanced System Protector reviewed by us. Working Of This Anti Spyware Software: The main working screen is divided into tabs. They are Log, Settings, Rules, Help and Info.

As I stated above, I had a horrible time installing the software, as there seemed to be no solution to the problem. Also, the software is designed to neutralize threats in the form of Spyware and Malware. It can't act as an Anti-Virus. Final VerdictIf you are constantly surfing the internet and are worried about the Spyware-Malware attacks, then Arovax Shield is a must for you.

Wings 3D is a free and open source 3D modeling software, which comes with a lot of interesting tools to make creation of 3D models easier for the user. Drawing your very own 3D models is made simpler by the fact that the program comes with tridimensional shapes preinstalled, which can at first be used to learn how 3D modeling in Wings 3D works, and then later on you can use these shapes as base and simply edit them to your liking when you are making 3D sketchings of your own.  Interface of Wings 3D might seem a little bit archaic, it probably has something to do with the fact that it was written in Erlang which is an open source programming language from Ericsson. Nevertheless the program offers a substantial set of options for 3D modeling, so let’s dig in and see how it works exactly. The basics of 3D modeling in Wings 3DAdding your first 3D object to the default polygon of Wings 3D is very easy. Simply right click any where inside the main window and you will be presented with a list of previously mentioned preinstalled shapes that you can place on the workspace. Shape selection varies from the basic ones like:
Manipulating a cube in Wings 3DFor the purpose of this demonstration we’re gonna place a cube on our workspace or polygon call it what you want. After we’ve added the cube, at the top of the screen where the arrow is pointing on the image above we’re gonna select the icon which has corners marked red. That will select all 4 corners of the object, you can select them individually also, as long as the corners select option is marked. Right click will show us the menu that you see on the left side of the screen, from there you need to select Extrude option, which is used to extrude, to make something pop out. With the Extrude option selected, move your mouse and shape of the cube should be manipulated.  ConclusionWhat we’ve shown here isn’t even the tip of the ice berg of what Wings 3D can do. We haven’t even mentioned the fact that the program supports lights, colors, and other effects which are very useful for 3D effects. Advanced features which Wings 3D has to offer are not easily explained, and it’s best for anyone interested in this 3D modeling program to start reading the documentation, to get a better understanding of how things actually work. It will take some time to grasp everything, don’t give up right away and you’ll see how useful this 3D software really is.No related posts. 3D Modeling Software to Create 3D models with Wings 3D was originally published at I Love Free Software      |

M Multi GTalk is a free application that lets you open two or more instances of Google Talk simultaneously. Google Talk is originally designed to be used with only one email address at once. Multiple GTalk login is not entirely non existent. There are a number of websites with some tips and tricks which involve a lot of editing of various program settings and such-this is quite inconvenient, tiresome and not worth the trouble. However, with M Multi GTalk you can login with as many addresses as you wish. Features of M Multi GTalk
How to use this free Google Talk ExtensionThe program requires no installation, you just need to extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to a directory of your choice. The interface is very simple-interfaces do not get any simpler than this. On launching the program the program searches for googletalk.exe which is GTalk's execution file. Once it is located, it opens a new interface with a blue Open Google Talk button. The button is used to spawn as many GTalk instances as you wish. Users of 64 bit operating systems may have problems as the program is unable to navigate to Google Talk installation folder in the Program Files(x86) directory. The program recommends that you manually locate the file. Pros
Cons
VerdictThe idea of multiple Google Talk logins is not new but M Multi GTalk does it faster and easier in a few steps. Download this multiple GTalk login software if you have more than one Gmail account and want to be online together on all of them.Related posts:

Talk.to is a relatively new company which focuses on developing cheap ways of communication between people and bushinesses. Today we’re gonna have a look at their Talk.to application which allows its users to send instant messages for free across two most popular social services that have instant messaging, Facebook and Google Talk. Even though there already are several applications which allow you to communicate off-site with friends that you have on social networks, Talk.to is special because it can be used not only on PCs but also on your iOS and Android smartphones, which are becoming more and more popular these days.  What you see above is the default window of Talk.to, notice the word Beta in the windows title. That’s right, this software is still in beta, so be prepared for the application to misbehave from time to time. The interface is very intuitive, once you’ve added accounts from social networks to Talk.to your contacts should appear in the list and you can start sending messages to them via the messaging portion of the interface on the left. Talk.to installation and prerequisitesCurrently Talk.to is available as a standalone download from Windows in which the program comes bundled with Google’s Chrome, which has to be installed on a machine in order for Talk.to to work. This free instant messaging software needs Google Chrome because it uses its engine to access Facebook and Google Talk while the accounts are being added, but also for the purposes of the actual chat. If you already have Google Chrome, then there’s nothing for you to worry about. But if you don’t then you’re gonna have to install it, if you are a Windows user program offers you to install Chrome automatically.Adding Facebook and Google Talk accountsTo start chatting and sending instant messages to your friends on Facebook and Google Talk you’re gonna have to give Talk.to access to your accounts. This is where privacy issues might become a problem to some, but this is a trusted application and there shouldn’t be any problems with account theft. Right after you first run the program you’ll be presented with a window where you can sign into your favorite networks: Next to Facebook and Google Talk there is also choice to connect using Pingpong, we’ll leave that one alone for the time being and focus on Facebook. Click on Connect with Facebook and you will be presented with a Google Chrome window where you can enter your login information:  If you’ve entered proper data, the main window should appear and it should be populated with your contacts. If you are using Google Talk repeat the same steps you did for Facebook and you can start sending instant messages to your friends. Talk.to for iPhone, Android based phones, Linux and MacAnd now for the best thing about Talk.to, it’s availability. If you open up the download page on the Talk.to website you will notice that they are offering downloads for all the major operating systems but also for iOS and Android, which means that you can use Talk.to on all your devices, without having to use several different programs. This makes Talk.to a very useful app, even if it’s Beta, you should try it, it’s free.No related posts.

Language Immersion is a free Google Chrome extension to convert language of a webpage into multiple other languages. This Language Immersion extension turns your webpage language from English into your favorite language. The extension offers you over 64 languages to convert the webpage language. Along with converting the webpage language, the extension even speaks up the converted text. Set an immersion level in the extension and you will find the converted words in the selected language of the webpage accessed.  Remember that this Language Immersion extension converts only certain text and phrases from English into the language of your choice. I truly liked the extension, as you might meet with a situation where you want the webpage to be displayed in some other language on your Google Chrome browser. Also, it becomes really hard to convert whole webpage; say for e.g., if you use Google Translate. For converting text in some other language with Google translate, you need to select the text, copy the selected text and then paste the copied text into Google Translate. By installing this great Language Immersion chrome extension, just open the webpage and you will find the webpage already converted into the selected language of your choice.  The only sad part of this Language Immersion chrome extension is its limited language selection. You can only convert the webpage from the list of the languages given in the extension. But then 64 languages is good number in the extension. Key Features Of Language Immersion For Google Chrome:
You can take a look at language translation extensions for Google Chrome. How To Use Language Immersion Extension:
Install Language Immersion Extension On Your Google Chrome Browser:Search for "Language Immersion For Chrome" in chrome web store. You can also click here to install the extension.
