    putting together a PC

    in Nerd's Chatter [/nerds]

    Posted · Edited by Iori Yagami

    I'm hoping to put together a PC once I save enough money.

     

    I'm just wondering how much it'll cost me and what I'll need to buy.

     

    What I'll need it for

     

    1) emulation - I don't play many PC games. all of my gaming done on my PC is is emulation. What will I need to have a good emu machine?

     

    on a side note, have PS2, XBox, and Gamecube emulators been made? how powerful of a computer would I need to use them (I know it's got freakishly strong)

     

    2) multiple OSes - I would like to have windows XP, 98SE, and a some Linux distro.

     

    I'll have XP as my standard OS, 98SE to play any older PC games, and Linux because I need to take Unix/Linux to game my CS degree, and I would like to make Linux versions of the games/apps I make.

     

    what will I need for this?

     

    3) media - I'd like a DVD drive, and a DVD burner that's compatible with all the DVD formats (DVD-RAM, DVD+R, etc), CD formats, and that's reasonably fast.

     

    I'd like to my one of those Scanner/Copier/Printer combos.

     

    I'm like to watch TV on my comp, play my gaming consoles on them, and be able to get all sort of video input and audio input. I will also need to capture the video and audio input. how much will a good TV card set me back?

     

    4) networking - I am learning how to make games, and am limited by the fact that I have only one computer when I try to make Multiplayer online games.

     

    I would like to set up a small LAN (about 5 computers), So I can properly test the games (and other networking applications) I make.

     

    what will I need for this?

     

    and just for the sake of asking, how much would a good digital video camera cost?

     

    So yeah that's the laundry list of stuff I'd like.

     

    assuming I have nothing (no monitor, or anything), what should I put on my to buy list and how much should I save up?

    Tutorial-the basics of C++ and game making

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Umm, dude, im taking C++ classes this year, and all this your teaching everyone down here is only merely enough to make a simple program like a calculater , the best game we have done this year is Black Jack, you only taught half a year of C++ class there.

     

    he's already taught C, that's enough to make a game.

     

    all that's left is:

    inheritance

    polymorphism

    templates

    linked lists

    operator overloading

    exceptions

     

    and that's the language pretty much, give or take a few small features.

     

    if you want to learn to make a game, you're going to have to look up an API and learn software design.

    graphics card question

    in Nerd's Chatter [/nerds]

    My girlfriend has fairly old computer.

     

    its a 1.8 Ghz. but the graphics card sucks. it's max resolution is 640 x 480 >.<

     

    She isn't going to be buying the latest PC games, she primarily wants it to emulate.

     

    what's a good, cheap graphics card that will allow her to emulate PSX/N64 games pretty well?

    What's wrong here....

    Hm...try using Alcohol 120%. Also, does your CD burner support Buffer Underrun protection? Most do now. And if it asks to overburn, say yes.

     

    I remember burning some even larger ISOs onto CD and it worked.

    I'm on a 4 year old Compaq P.o.S. :(

     

    well it doesn't really matter, I can get CvS2 for $15 at hollywood video.

     

    does anybody know if the Project justice ISO is bigger than 700mb?

    *looks ar PSP specs*

     

    holy **** :(

     

    look at it

     

    PSP

    ----

    CPU: 333MHz

    RAM: 32MB

     

    its more powerful than the dreamcast!!!

     

    DC

    ---

    CPU: 200MHz

    RAM: 16 mb

     

    This almost surely means Genesis and SNES can be emulated on the PSP.

     

    this also excited me:

     

    CPS2

    ------

    CPU: 11.8 MHz

    RAM: 12mb

     

    NeoGeo

    ---------

    CPU: 12.5MHz

    RAM: 7MB

     

    maybe we can get X-men vs Street Fighter and KoF.....:huh:

     

    and this might interest you all the most:

     

    PSX

    ----

    CPU: 33.87

    RAM: 2 Mb

     

    the PSP is more powerful than the DreamCast, and the DC was able to play Playstation games through bleemcast.

     

    imagine....Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Resident Evil, Tekken 3.... on a portable game system

     

    So pray to the emulation and programming gods. :P

    How fast of a computer would I need to run SFEX2P

    I'm at my brother's computer (2.4 Ghz, 512 mb RAM), at it still lags (although its nowhere near as bad as my 4 year old hunk of junk). It has some major resource hogs (norton, AVG, Ad-Aware, and spybot shields are all running) which may be the reason.

     

    anyways I'm building a new computer and I'd like to run Street Fighter EX 2 Plus at full speed.

     

    How fast of a computer would I need?

     

    is there anyway to alter the settings on MAME32 to make it run faster?

    what do you think are some good games you think have gone relatively unnoticed?

     

    The tony hawk series is pretty damn good. 3 and underground are the best currently out. can't wait for underground 2 :clapping:

     

    and Ecks vs Sever is a pretty good FPS. if it had battery save it would have been so much better though.

     

    too bad the company that made it when belly up :(
