  1. I live in the UK and I don't really know what can be done about it here, I know it's obviously illigal to download and share games and the like, but how far the UK law system takes such things, I'm unsure. The only thing I can say in my case is I only download old software... but then again that's no excuse. I do have to admit though, as days go on I think more about not downloading so-called illigal software, however when it comes to games I allways buythem for my Gamecube, PC, PS2, XBox, GBA etc etc... and for downloads it's mainly Dreamcast, Amiga and the odd PC utillity. I guess for me to completly stop right now, would be for someone in my country to get cought and see what happens to them. Just hope it's not me
  2. I can't try it as I use broadband now I forgot about that tiny detail, lol
  3. I use the free version of ZoneAlarm, and I find it great, you can get it here: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/cata...sku_list_za.jsp Its the full firewall but without the antvirus support, I use this along with Norton.
  4. Hmm... I'm in the UK I'll give it a go tonight and get back to you
  5. If you have the harddrive space (4 gigs+), you can unpack the pk4 files and that slowdown should disappear. Cool, I'll give it a shot!
  6. Just for a laugh I tried it in the ultra setting with 2* FSAA at 1024 * 768, to my amazement it actually runs playable, with a little slowdown, which was expected, but I notice a big slowdown when opening doors.
  7. WOW, just got the game, and what can I say except my trousers are brown!
  8. Sa,e here,excpet 3000+ and 512MB RAM. Medium Setting is flawless. Anything higher than that and the game is still very playable, but lags when opening doors. About Doom3: Jesus christ the atmosphere is tense. I've just gone past the point when the big bull/dog-type thing appears the first time. Cool, so it shouldn't be to bad on my PC, man! I'm gonna buy it today, can't wait!
  9. nice one, so I'm not too far behind, well thanks for the reasurance
  10. really, the guy in the store said it was a bargin for the price, I thought he was trying to rip me off
  11. ah, cool, but was the athlon 64 3000+ a good choice?
  12. I just bought my new custom built PC, it has an AMD Athlon 64 3000+, Nvidia Ti4600 and 1GB of RAM, Can anyone tell me if this is enough to make Doom 3 look good at all or have I just wasted my money,
  13. I never even noticed a war here at the time (UK), the good old miggy was far more popular here. I owned the A500 and so did most of my mates, so I would say the Amiga is far superior, I still use the A500 sometimes, but I mainly use my updated A1200.
  14. You will find the utopia boot cd at megagames or dcemulation.com, but most games are self boot. What file format are the cd images you burned, also wat program do you use to burn them, if its nero make sure you tell it to close the session before you burn, otherwise you ave wasted some CD's!
  15. Shenmue I & II Soul Calibur Jet Set Radio Rez Sonic Adventure I & II ChuChu Rocket Dead or Alive 2 D2 Resident Evil Code: Veronica Seaman F355 Challenge Metropolis Street Racer Power Stone Space Channel 5 Phantasy Star Online Grandia II Skies of Arkadia Quake III: Arena Daytona USA 2001 Stupid Invaders Sega Rally 2 Sega Bass Fishing (with rod) Samba de Amigo Crazy Taxi Ready 2 Rumble Boxing The House of the Dead Toy Commander... ...Where do I end, theres so many good ones
  16. I have to say I'm totally with the new rules, it makes this whole thing more legal in my eyes, I wouldn't even mind if the 100 post thing went too. For me it's not just about linking to roms etc, but its all the oter stuff which makes this such a great community!
  17. How about they just ditch this idea and make shenmue part 3! lol
  18. yeah, what he said, it's allways best to make the image first
  19. the person in question got a life sentence, which here in britain means, not life, plus he's 17 which means he'll prolly get out in about 10!
  20. I don't care but I do like to laugh and mock the citizens of the countries whose government ban games. Muahahaha! Take that you Germans and British and Brazilians! MUAHAHAA! well, its not the government which banned the game it was apparently a couple of stores doing it as a mark of respect. I don't think any game has actually been actually banned here in britain, its just all the people trying to blame games that pisses me right OFF! the US has had its fair share of this too.
  21. I live in the UK, the game has not actually fully banned, the story is that the parents of the boy who was killed last week blamed the game for it, as it was quite a horrific murder etc, now because the parents said this, certain stores such as common electrical stores like Dixons and Curys and a well known game store called Game decided to stop selling it yesterday however, stores such as HMV, Virgin and other indipentent stores do continue to sell it. I think this happend once before with a different game here but I'm not too sure what it was, but I'm sure after the dust settles about this story I bet the start selling the game again. EDIT: And another weird thing about blood in games, I don't know, but I would find it more disturbing in real life if you started to spew green blood instead of red????
  22. Thats the point I was trying to say, over here we have PEGI who have rated this game strictly for adults.
  23. Well, due to a rescent murder in my country, some stores have decided to ban the ultra violent game Manhunt since this is the game that has been said is to blame. I personally feel that there must be something wrong with you if a game is enough to make you do something like this in the first place, therefore I feel it's stupid to blame the game, besides, it's ment to be sold to 18+ here. I just wanted to know some of you guys opinions on things like this
