Nyko's Wii Party Station = Most under thought idea yet?
ken_cinder replied to Alpha's topic in Gaming and Tech News [/gtech]
look like buttons to me, probably fan controls as it looks like each scoreboard has it's own buttons as well. -
Nyko's Wii Party Station = Most under thought idea yet?
ken_cinder replied to Alpha's topic in Gaming and Tech News [/gtech]
I already left my thoughts somewhere else, but I'll leave em here too I guess.... 1: Slots for 4 Wiimotes 2: Hand cooling fan 3: 4 numeric LED displays 4: Cooled cup holders 5: Bowl for chips and dip -
Fry's Electronics FTW!? Anyone who has any shame, doesn't even deal with big name retailers for their electronics components. I deal with distributors/resellers online and smaller shops that can get me SPECIFIC components that the big name stores don't carry (You won't find the best for the best price...or even just the best, at a big name store, EVER) And I buy my optical media at a little store here in town, for half the price it would cost me elsewhere (The big guy doesn't always have the best price, or the best quality. There are only approx 8 CD/DVD manufacturing facilities in the WORLD, every brand name you see, 75% are rebranded.)

First Hindu Prayer Shouted Down in US Senate

"Christian religious activists" ROFFLES! Call a horse a horse motherf**cker, and say K to the K to the damn K! -
The optical disc degredation thing is such an urban legend, this was an issue in the early years of the technology when cheap plant based dyes were used. The dye would "rot" and cause pass-through errors. This is not, and has not for years now, been a prevalent issue. Only with very cheap media is it an issue, and what are you doing buying those 100 for $10 discs anyway, you know you're getting screwed!

need help for zelda OOT on project 64 asap :)
ken_cinder replied to Alan-HTID's topic in N64 Emulators [/pc/n64]
Umm yeah, does not support Hardware Transform & Lighting, alpha blending or half the things PJ64 needs when running certain games. You're SOL unless you get yourself a better video card. -
Psst, these games were released in ENGLISH for Turbo CD. Ys Book I & II Ys III: Wanderers From Ys And I have the 1+2 compilation for PC, it's not much different from the original games, just with pretty cutscene/intro video stuff and the like.

Sony announces new slimmer PSP with Video-Out!
ken_cinder replied to Alpha's topic in Gaming and Tech News [/gtech]
Wrong, NOJ confirmed shortly after launch, that a DVD enabled Wii would be released.....they just didn't say when. As for it being released outside of Japan, who knows. Oh and back on topic, is this thing costing any more than the current PSP? If so, I'd hope it's not because of the video out, because that capability is easily run straight off the video encoder in ANY portable. -
A $300 Ipod phone, is $200 overpriced.

does my intel 3945ABG wireless card support "Soft AP" ?wu
ken_cinder replied to test84's topic in DS Hacks [/ds]
The 3945ABG is a mobile chipset, what is your laptop manufacturer? These chipsets can be, and are, customized by the end distributor and may or may not support SoftAP methods. -
Mine I hate cell phones.

Wow, I thought I was like the only one who actually liked Journey to Silius on the NES. I'd have to recommend Base Wars for the NES, Tecmo's Secret of The Stars for SNES and Ballistics for the PC. I can't pull any other non popular games out of my ass at the moment, maybe some more later.

Paypal won't let sites like ours to use their service because we violate their ToS. Those assholes. There's nothing stopping a "personal" donation to a bogus good/service. -
I got this game for PC, and I have to say it's pretty fun, but it does have it's flaws and some of them are rather big. Namely, the controls. I'm using a PSX pad, and the controls are configured in an easy to use way for myself. However, the controls themselves are rather poorly implemented, and clunky. I'd have to say the pathetic camera system is half the reason the controls suck. As a bot, the controls aren't too bad, but locking on to a target coupled with using the pickup button AND your 2 weapon buttons while moving yourself and the camera in some instances is a huge pain in the butt. You can't stand still and fight, so you must man the left stick at all times (Yeah, so what right?) which shouldn't be an issue, BUT you have to throw things at enemies and then attack them in different manners to defeat them, requiring at least 2 buttons + a stick at all times in a fight, sometimes more. Then theres the vehicle mode, where I think things are HUGELY flawed. No matter your control scheme, or controller (I tried a few + KB) the vehicles handle like shopping carts! There's no fluidity to their movement, and you can't adjust the camera. Ok fine, so don't let us have an inside view, not a problem, but there are settings for camera controls under vehicle in the config.....why can't I adjust the camera!? It's not easy driving a shopping cart from directly behind it at damn near ground level. That said, the game is fun and it looks pretty decent. The Transformers themselves look great, as for everything else it's pretty mediocre texture-wise.

The Xbox looks for xboxdash.xbe in the root of C, this in a softmod, should be a launcher that in most cases points to E:\dash\default.xbe which is something like UnleashX by default (Power button) and in the case of a dual dash launcher, xb0xdash.xbe (Eject button). Though if you have a softmod that has the option of not using a dual dash setup, your launcher *should* always launch the default.xbe wherever it points to. Unless you have a modchip, the Xbox boots and looks for xboxdash.xbe in the root of C, ALWAYS. So this file should be your softmod launcher, and the true MS dash should be xb0xdash.xbe. This is dependent on the softmod method you are using, but all the better known ones work this way.
-
I'm not sure, I've never used savegame methods. Though I do know you require one of a few specific games to use a savegame exploit. The easiest way would be to hook the drive up again, and copy the softmod files for C. If you replaced the dash with the original backup, you overwrote the loader for the softmod. xboxdash.xbe is actually the launcher, you would have put the original file back when restoring a backup, and that is why only the retail dash loads.

Even with ABP disabled, the ads aren't that bad on here. Far from it compared to alot of sites. If you don't like em, start helping pay server costs or find something to deal with it. This thread is useless, self-serving and an attack on a community you are SUPPOSED to be a part of. Now you just look like some lame noob outsider. I stamp this thread with the stamp of "Severe disapproval" -
Yay! Maybe now I won't have to resort to navigating blindly and enabling 720p. For some reason, editing the INI for this emulator to set 720p doesn't work. Now only if he'd fix all the others, like MednafenX PCE, damn 1.6 Xbox encoder chip!

You could very well have a v1.0 Xbox, which doesn't display error codes (Or so I'm told). The most likely problem, is that you forgot to lock the larger hard drive. You MUST do this. I have myself run into the same problem however, when the drive was indeed locked. Make sure you're starting up the Xbox with the power button and not the eject button, as the eject button in most softmod packages starts the MS dash.......and if it's not present, you'll freeze up. Sometimes even if it's there, it doesn't like to start very quick either, so wait a few minutes. After the first time getting the MS dash to load, it should go smooth after that.

Microsoft extends 360 Warranty to 3 Years...
ken_cinder replied to Wizard's topic in Gaming and Tech News [/gtech]
I'm simply not buying one until a REAL modchip and a new XBMC comes with it. Infact, I'm buying another Xbox 1 for the purpose of putting in my room, as my couch in the living room ain't so great for watching movies late at night. There are a few major flaws they should have corrected right away, like the X-Clamp system. -
In the case my computer dies? Who cares, data is still on the hard drive, and partitions mitigate the need for recovering anything off the C drive. If my hard drive died? Nothing, I don't keep anything on my hard drive that is of so much importance, that the world would end if I lost it. Only an idiot would. I put the odd movie, and my roms on CD/DVD, but that's because I don't have 10 terabytes of HD space.

You need to dump your EEPROM/HDKey with EvolutionX (Or any tool that will do it) and put it in your EEPROM folder in XboxHDM. That way if you ever want to do it again, or you screwed something up, you won't need to hotswap. You can just unlock the HD in XboxHDM and do your thing, and then lock it again (Don't forget to lock your drive, you MUST or you won't be able to boot). You'll still need to hook the hard drive up to your PC, but won't require hotswapping. Just start up, unlock the drive, reboot XboxHDM and copy your files, then lock the drive. Infact, if you're putting in a larger hard drive, you will require the EEPROM/HDkey to start with, so softmod your original drive and get them, then just run XboxHDM on the other drive and lock it.

I bought one of these exact adapters like 6 years ago, and it still works perfectly. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nintendo-64-N64-Playsta...emZ300127521436 PS2 controllers work as well, but if you want rumble (And possibly the lameass analog buttons NOBODY could use unless they have baby fingers) you'll need to look into a newer kind of adapter. I can't recommend any, as all my other adapters are homemade.
