First Delphi program


Question

Well this is my first delphi program (and first one posted in this forum :D ) I have ever made, it changes your OEM Info found in the My Computer->Properties dialog. I am distributing it as freeware, what do you ppl think of it? should I distribute the source for people to learn how to use Delphi? any suggestions to add features?

You can download the program here

No this program currently does not use any API because I use the WritePrivateProfileString in Visual Basic and it did not work so good in Windows 9x. I will see about the open source thing, because I dont like it when i put stuff on PlanetSourceCode, only to find my exact program in a few days, evn with the same comments sometimes :D .

Here's something I did in Delphi.

It took me several hours to make it and I have no experience in Delphi.

It just adds or removes some stuff from the registry so it's very basic but it shows that you can make a simple program without that much programming knowledge. It also makes use of XPs visual styles

    • F'ing FIIINALLY! Much easier to ask people what their hardware is 🙏 and could also very well just say DDR4 or DDR5 without asking to bloat it too much. I'm also curious to see what it will say in More device info...
    • Sure, that must be why it was revealed at the Sony showcase... the game was announced 5 years ago and the visuals are far from poor, what the hell are you smoking, plus the Switch 2 is pretty much on par with an Xbox Series S. It would be absolutely insane for a dev to build a game "with the Switch 2 in mind" when it's coming to all platforms where the majority of sales will happen.

    • Microsoft makes it easier to find PC specs in Windows 11 Settings by Taras Buria Windows 11 has already received several improvements that make it easier to learn about your computer's specifications. Recently, Microsoft released Spec Cards for the System > About section, which provide basic information about the PC's main components, such as processor, memory, storage, graphics card, and video memory. Now, the Settings app is getting a new way to find your device info. Microsoft wants to display basic device information right on the Home page of the Settings app. The latest preview builds from the Dev and Beta Channels introduced a new "Your device info" card for the Settings' Home page. It displays specs like processor name and speed, graphics card and the amount of video memory, storage, and RAM. The card also has a link to the "About" section, where you will find more information about your computer, its Windows edition, product ID, and the recently introduced FAQ section that answers common hardware-related questions. The "Your device info" card joins the existing cards on the Settings app's home page. While the section offers useful information like quick access to Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi, personalization, and recommended settings, users received it with mixed reactions, as many considered it another way for Microsoft to promote its services and subscriptions like Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and Game Pass (seriously, who thinks about Game Pass when opening Settings?). Now, the Settings' Home page is a bit more useful, as it saves you a few clicks when checking your computer's specs. If you want to test the new "Your device info" card, update your PC to build 26200.5622 or newer (Dev Channel). Just keep in mind that Microsoft is rolling it out gradually, and it requires signing in with a Microsoft Account in the United States. Other changes in build 26200.5622 include a new Settings section for Quick Machine Recovery, widget improvements, more app recommendations in the "Open with" dialog, and more. Check out the full release notes here.
