'A whole flocking lot' would be my first guess.

\o/ Yeah, but not a regular consumer, who frequents emulation message boards.

It's not the emulator's fault. SNK Playmore tightened the controls in KOF2003. Buy a gamepad.

4GB of RAM!? Who the hell needs so much RAM?

Yeah, only Kawaks (ASR.DAT) and Nebula (romdata\NEOGEO.DAT) Loader have that file. If you want to add games in MAME, you need to compile your own build.

Yeah, there is hardly any quality control on the PS2, seeing how many subpar games are on the market that were made by some little, unknown european developer... and they go straight to the bargain bin. I don't know how things are in the US or the rest of the world, but over here, there are quite a number of shady "I've never even heard of this crap" titles on the shelves....And I like to think that I keep track of what gets released for the PS2.

DAmn, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a Yaroze.

More importantly, why cheat in games in the first place?

Thanks, I mean, at least there was a response to my question, do you think others might know? You might want to ask Disoblige, since he's the one who's been hosting the 1Emulation Kaillera server. IIRC, most Kaillera servers (public ones) have shut down.

I don't know about trainers, but a good place to looks for PSX patches is http://www,megagames.com

Kaillera has turned to crap in recent months. The only emulator I know of that has an alternate method of playing online is ZSNES. But yeah, I'm not the expert, so you don't have to listen to me.

Well it's not like from the early 80's to the early 90's the games' lineup was a parade of commercial successes. Every systems has its excellent have and a huge gray mass of mediocre and outright crappy games. That how it is. Personally, I'm not afraid to admit it.

Seems like it. In all seriousness, Bridget is one of the best characters in the game if used properly, and one of my favorite characters. May or Baiken are teh winners though.

Actually, the 3rd reason was the fact that there was no quality control whatsoever. Every start up game house could do a clone of some popular game and sell it. It wasn't until Nintendo created the Seal of Quality that forced companies to hand their games to the scrutiny of Nintendo for approval and publishing.

Fail. On an international level. Indeed, seeing as he's hellbent on getting himself an Atomiswave. :/

Yeah, mentioning Captain Novolin usually counts as a rock-solid argument in this case.

I think you meant "What is JAMMA?" It's a wiring standard for arcade machines. Japanese Amusement Machine Manufacturers Association http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAMMA

Same here, but only because the story is different every time. Hence why I like to play RPGs in general.

Correction: A guy brought up as a girl with a yo-yo.

I'm one of those people who read consmer reviews like crazy. The article is dead-on about what is already happenening and what will happen. Like it was said, game companies rarely like taking risks, so they make game (or a sequel) that is already widely known, either from previous incarnations or from other mediums... Hence why we still have crappy movie license games, endless mediocre franchise games (Star Wars, Star Trek, the yearly NFL/NHL/Madden/whatever). And these things continue to sell like hotcakes because the *average* gamer/consumer wants to feel safe and not go for something that they have never tried before. Sure, there are some titles that that have had massive ad campaigns and continue to sell just because they really are good, Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter for example. Though, these two titles are the few I recognize as "worthy money makers" in the otherwise big cesspool of mediocrity. Sadly, the truly unique titles get trampled and get only picked up by gamers who know their turf, and are always on the lookout for something that strays from the mainstream. Beyond Good & Evil, Magna Carta, ICO, etc. The japanese have a talent for making completely unique games, but these games rarely get out of the country (which I believe is because the developers and publishers over there are conscious about the ever-increasing homogenous nature of the gaming industry in the west)... The european market is another matter, since it's largely dictated by well-known US releases and the PAL region extra work. Sure, they take their risks sometimes, and gamers rejoice. Personally, KOEI is my new god in gaming. I wonder if EA will eventually become the next Atari? It'll take really flocking long, but it might happen...

Heh, I didn't even know that there was a Gameboy emulator called GEST. Secondly, I'm not too sure if the people posting news should even make a post about an emulator's discontinuation, unless the said emulator is/was extremely popular.

Looks like I'm still winning in the 'pathetic' category ^^

lol gg Yup, that's how it is.

Heh, the Jaguar's controller was so bad... I finally managed to get my hands on the real console in a convention back in late-2003. For a 64-bit system, 98% of the games were subpar, with only a handful of gems.

Haha, FIFA 06 seems to be pretty worthless judging by those scores. In contrast, I wouldn't have expected any less that min 30s from Ridge Racer 6.
