  1. Once I get my PC set up again I will! This new theme is pretty cool!

     

    Glad you like it, buddy! Great to see you back again. We just re-added the forum attack system today after 4 years. Hope you can participate.

     

    I'm also going to need your help to emulate all the cool dreamcast stuff... perhaps even tutorials if you still got a hold of them... to our new downloads section! :)

    After over 4 years without a forum attack system, it finally has returned to 1Emulation! What is a forum attack system you ask? It's essentially an embedded video game within our forums that allow you to "attack" other members with guns, grenades, and various other weapons to gain notoriety, points, and money (credits). The more members you can "kill", the higher you can level-up! Much like Pokemon or World of Warcraft, you have to build your profile into a stronger and stronger character until it's almost impossible to kill.

    For members who played the original forum attack system on 1Emulation, this one is a little different, but more or less the same. Just click the new yellow fist icon at the bottom of a person's profile to attack them. You can't miss it!

    Enjoy! If you haven't registered on 1Emulation already, this is your chance! Register here. Hope you can join us in the fun. :-)

  3. A certain 'Ubersheep' is bringing the concept of achievements to retro emulators and asking for testers. So far there's no love for arcade titles, only select Megadrive games are supported.

    I really am doubting if this will ever catch on for the one reason that it requires completely modified emulators. If the author could somehow write a plugin for the most popular emulators -- that would probably be the smartest bet.

     

    Even then, I strongly believe he should also focus more on the emulators for gaming systems, rather than PC. For example, people who are emulating Neogeo with FBA on their PS3 and have internet access. Regardless, it's a pretty clever project, and I *do hope* it catches on. Perhaps one of us should send him an e-mail so he can post about his project here?

    As of late I haven't been very active here at 1Emu, or any other forum for that matter. I also haven't been maintaining my online projects for a while now. So what have I been up to? Well, it has been a project of self-improvement and one of the biggest parts of that has been getting my weight under control. At my worst when I started this about 2 years ago, I used to weigh 285 Lbs. and I'm only 5'11". I'm glad to say that I've made a lot of progress, as of a few weeks ago I'm down to 165 Lbs. Here's the closest thing I have to a before-and-after, the photo to the left is from late 2009 and I weighed about 260 Lbs there:
    So what did I do? To be honest there wasn't any silver-bullet to it. I just started eating better with very small changes, like cutting out soda or just ordering a little less fast food. Doing that alone made me drop about 30 Lbs in only a few months. That motivated me to start doing more like walking a mile or two per day and cutting out fast food completely. Today, I walk 5-6 miles per day and I track my calories carefully and try not to go over 1,200 per day.
    It it took a lot of time and hard work, but I have to say it's been worth it. Today my target weight of 150 Lbs. seems well within reach. If I could tell anyone struggling with this problem one thing, it would be to beleive that you can do it. It's really tough not to see those immediate resluts but it's important to realize that even small changes do make a difference.

     

    Well done Vincent! Looking great, buddy! Just got a chance to finally read this. What you have done so far is nothing short of amazing.

     

    May I ask -- once you lost over a 100 pounds, did your skin adapt with the weight loss? I know some people who lose extreme amounts of weight have to get surgery to remove the excess skin. I hope this question is not too personal.

     

    It really is about believing in yourself. It's too easy to doubt oneself or fall into a pool of negativity and/or depression. How has the response been with your family and friends? They must be ecstatic. I'm sure you've already had some old acquaintances who came across you and didn't even recognize you at first!

     

    Finally, how did you and continue to keep yourself motivated? Statistically, people who lose weight tend to gain it back again, and sometimes even more than their original weight. It's very common for humans to start on a project and then suddenly (sometimes without even consciously noticing) to seep back into the old ways of things. Have you caught yourself ever?

     

    Keep up the great work and keep us updated. :-D

  5. I won't be buying one for a while yet as I feel my PS3 still has plenty of life left in it. I will most likely stick with Sony though for the future.

     

    Likewise, PS3 is an amazing console once you hack it :lol: ... Why do I get the feeling it will take more than a decade to hack the PS4?

    I also hope most of the PS4 games for the first few years also come out on the PS3. It would suck if it weren't the case.

     

    Read my gripes about the PS4 and 720 here.

  6. Please welcome our newest staff member of 1Emulation: Hard Core Rikki!

     

    Rikki has been a major contributor to the emulation community for years and has been helping 1emulation behind the scenes as well. I really appreciate all his help thus far. He will be helping us further the brand new Downloads Section on 1emulation, as well as perhaps future news posts. Please welcome him to the 1Emulation family! :-)

  7. Hello everyone! It's been a week since 1Emulation was last online. Let's just say we just came back from the upgrade from hell! Miskie and I spent the entire week working with Invision Board Tech Support while optimizing and cleaning up our 11 year old database (remember, 1Emulation started in 2002!) for upgrade. I'm very excited and pleased to say we are back online and better than ever! Unfortunately, we have good news and bad news. Let's start with the good news...

     

    The good news is we're back online! The database has been optimized considerably and we removed over 70MB of old crap that was lingering around. We also successfully installed a new downloads section and are in the process of re-installing the forum attack system. Over the next few weeks, we'll be fully activating the downloads section for public consumption with hundreds of the latest emulators and plugins ready for our community!

     

    The bad news is we found evidence that our forums were hacked several times over the course of about 3 years. We usually keep up with patches, but I guess we weren't fast enough. Though we found no proof that our database was stolen, we want to strongly suggest to all our members to PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS! This is extremely important.

     

    Part of the reason why were offline for so long is we had to meticulously remove the infections from the database that were dropped from SQL injection attacks, as well as deleting various files that were dropped on the server to re-infect the database. I'm happy to say it should all be gone now.

     

    Finally, we also lost some private messages, status messages, forum notifications, and various settings on the forums that were made between November 2012 and March 31st, 2013. Unfortunately, these were unrecoverable. We apologize to our members if they lost anything important.

     

    Over the course of the next few days, we'll be adding a brand new design for 1Emulation v6.0, as well as some more improvements. We also have installed a new backend system to control and limit the spammers who register on the forums.

  8. I personally believe strippers are born without a soul.

     

    No matter how many times I hear one say "I'm a smart stripper." I've yet to meet one.

     

    There's a 90% chance that if a military guy comes in, I'm gonna get into a fight with him.

    Do your strippers give lap dances too?

     

    And wow... that's a crazy stat. What do you think is the reason all the military people cause a fight?

  9. Has anyone noticed lately that anything you buy now states it is using some form of advance something? Let's say you buy some shoes. Somewhere will more than likely be a message stating that these said shoes are equipped with the latest advance shoe tying technology or whatever. Or maybe a burger with advance ketchup saturation. Pens will now have advance shirt pocket clips.

    Wat R U Doin?

    STAHP!!!

    Just noticed this thread. Honestly, this is nothing new. It's marketing 101 and it's what got Sketchers sued to hell with their bullshit "Shape Ups" that we're supposed to give you six-pack abs.

     

    It's very prominent with electronics. A good example would be digital cameras and seeing the "Full HD" sticker on it. Really? Full HD is a minimum of a 2-mega pixel camera which we've had for over 10 years now.

  10. Pretty much nailed the entire problem.

     

    If I go a few days without jacking off I get the horn, checking out women i normally wouldnt aim for.

    So anyway if you dont get with a chick or lifes too busy or pickings are slim, there is no way in hell im not gonna bust a nut.

    I can not walk round horny as fuck, its annoying.

    My pal is in his late 40's and he simply says "fuck it i have porn" and thats him.

     

    One of the main reasons in my opinion that porn is used so much, is that its getting harder (lol) for guys to pull women, one night stands or long term. Western women have way too much power. As I've got older i can quickly filter out women who match up or dont match up and if i can be arsed making my moves. I mean what, its been nearly a year for me now and its the longest i have gone.

    But i have so much on my plate at the moment and my mind is that busy that getting a partner is way down on my list.

     

    I knocked back an 18 year old hottie recently, too close for comfort, my pal is her dad and im just like, fuck that...

    I got an offer from a till girl, but she is deaf, no seriously she is deaf. And I went to make a move and she knew I was gonna do it and she got nervous so i backed off. There is this chick that takes her kids to school, past my house twice a day and she is pretty, i think all id have to do is pretend to be working in the garden and just say hi and that would roll quite easily.

    But again older and wiser, two kids is a lot of work........

     

    your right about the image burning its way in to the brain, after I jack off i go BLURGH!

    hahahaha - fucking mad.

    Indeed. Walking around horny is a nightmare.

     

    Hmm.... men are watching porn because it's harder to get a real woman?

    OR men can't get real women and therefore watch porn?

     

    It's a question that can't be answered unless a cause and effect study is done.

     

    Congrats on sleeping with the 18-year old hottie :lol: .... did the pops find out?

     

    Deaf girl? Where and how did you find her? Do you know sign language?

     

    I would stay away from the woman with kids. Last thing you need are step children :lol: ....

     

    And yes, the residual porn that's burned in the head is like a terrible aftertaste. I don't want to even think about it after "the release", but sometimes you ask yourself... "WTF, did I just watch?"

  11. What blog is that? Also, you're totally right about "everyone being a genius or comedian" now. With the rise of Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Instagram -- people's ego's have gone out of control. Everybody is acting like a superstar and it's seeped into every aspect of relationships and conversations in general.

     

    Just search neocream you'll find it buddy :P

     

    I know a lot of people like their Iphones but that shit is way out of hand, people are fucking glued to their phone. I was walking through town and heard two people talking about Iphones as I strolled about. They really dont see how trapped they are.

    I quit facebook as it was sucking me in and found my self spending an hour just refreshing or some shit.

    It didnt help i was in low mood, so blam, deleted it.

     

    The web is that keyed in with peopels every day lifes it is changing them into fucking idiots and they dont even know it becasue they think they are being clever when in fact they are wasting fucking time.

    I like my web old school, forums, and what not.

     

    Logging in to every form of website known to man and tapping out bollocks over and over again..................

    Oh wow, I remember neocream very well. Had no idea it still existed! :)

     

    Many traffic accidents today are happening from texting and driving. I see it all the time when I'm on the road and that people have their phones literally sitting on their laps.

    Not to mention, when I see someone walking and texting, I think I'm looking at a modern day zombie.

     

    I don't blame for you deleting your Facebook. There needs to be a national world holiday that we turn all electronics off and are forced to go outside and meet people.

     

    Forums > Facebook? I totally agree. The main reason? The power of using a username over your real name. Less consequences and more freedom to say what you truly believe.

  12. I wholeheartedly support the legalisation and taxation of both prostitution and recreational drug manufacture and distribution for mass consumption, following strict medical guidelines and prescriptionless oversight. I wouldn't consider it a sin just as much I don't consider anything we humans do as sinful simple based on the fact that we as a species are incapable of taking responsibility for our actions and require scapegoats like religion and something to tell us that it's not our faults we're dumbfucks. I wouldn't consider the above morally questionable either as long as it doesn't interfere negatively with the lives of other people physically, their convictions notwithstanding.

    That sounds like the textbook answer. Bravo Axl!

     

    And Wizard... what job? You're going to be one of the men at the McDick's drive-thru for the ladies? :lol::o

  13. I just realized... Bambi is the only female currently on 1emulation. It's like we got the Princess or Queen of the emulation scene among us. Now don't put her on a pedestal, but men, be grateful! :-D

     

    BTW, Bambi -- is it possible we can see another pose in the near future? :wink:

  14. PS4 will support PS1 and 2...just you'll have to pay for them again on their store in digital form only!

    Which is the most fucked up thing ever. This should be illegal that people who already have bought the physical copy of the game will have to purchase the digital copy to play it on their new system.

     

    And companies wonder why piracy is such a rampant problem....
