    Need help in playing MVC2 in Chankast 0.25

    in DreamCast & Saturn Emulators [/pc/dc+saturn]

    Make sure you have a VMU attached to Controller A.

    Thanks a bunch. It worked!

    Hey, just off the topic, when you do manage to work the game, you should download the MVC2 complete save from http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/dreamcast/save/914427.html

    After you format your VMU.

    Unless youd rather do it the old fashion way and thats alot of fighting :D

    I do that when I get bored of the default chars.

    Need help in Java and database coding

    in Nerd's Chatter [/nerds]

    I'm a student who is new to java programming, and I have a project which my job is to make a shopping cart, so here is one of the few questions I have. My school wants us to JCreatorLE and Eclipse 3.1 to do our project and Microsoft Access to do our database.

    I need to make something like the privacy section of MSN messenger which I can move a product from the left (list of all products for sale) to right (shopping cart). The below is the code for moving an item from left to right.

    private void selectListItem(){
 cartModel.addElement(this.jlMSProducts.getSelectedValue());
 model.removeElement(this.jlMSProducts.getSelectedValue());
 this.jlCart.setModel(cartModel);
}

    I wonder what is the code for moving from right to left. I tried reshuffle it into the following code but it doesn't work.

    private void removeListItem(){
 cartModel.removeElement(this.jlMSProducts.getSelectedValue());
 model.addElement(this.jlMSProducts.getSelectedValue());
 this.jlCart.setModel(cartModel);
}

    And on top the declarations for model and cartModel are

    private DefaultListModel model;
private DefaultListModel cartModel;

    I don't understand what are model and cartModel are for? Can some explain it to me?

     

    And here is mine second question, our database has 4 tables (I can't combine them because my groupmates need them to be seprated). Here is my code to read from one of them.

    private void addItemsToList(){
 model = new DefaultListModel();     
 cartModel = new DefaultListModel();	
 
 
    dbControl = new DBController();
 dbControl.setUp("Example");  
 ResultSet rs = dbControl.readRequest("Select ProductName from SecuritySoftware"); 	 
 try { 	 
	 while(rs.next()){
   model.addElement(rs.getString(1));    
	 }
	 this.jlMSProducts.setModel(model);    
 } catch (Exception e){
	 e.printStackTrace();
 }

}

    "Example" is the name of the database we added using odbcad32, while "SecuritySoftware" is one of the 4 tables. Let's say the another table is called Microsoft, how do I add it? I try adding another method and it looks fine, I wonder if I'm doing the right way or there is an easier way like having just one method instead of four.

    private void addItems2ToList(){
 
 dbControl = new DBController();
 dbControl.setUp("Example");  
 ResultSet rs = dbControl.readRequest("Select ProductName from Microsoft"); 	 
 try { 	 
	 while(rs.next()){
   model.addElement(rs.getString(1));    
	 }
	 this.jlMSProducts.setModel(model);    
 } catch (Exception e){
	 e.printStackTrace();
 }

}

     

    BTW, thanks for reading this, and please guide me slowly because this whole database adding isn't in my notes, thanks in advance.

    Two stories that I've written a few years ago.

    If I'm not wrong. I've wrote them in year 2000. And it's a great prove to see my English have improved A LOT. Feel free to comment on the storyline. If I have nothing much to do, I might edit them. And the reason why I save them as html files is because my real name will appear if I save it as a.doc. My wish was to be a author writing novels at that time, so I wrote those two stories. I still have another one which is much much longer but not finished yet. I might continue writting.

    My computer was sent to be repaired, and they did a reset. All my files are lost, which includes roms, roms saves, images, video, music and tons of things. This is the first time I ever reset so EVERYTHING is gone, I feel so sad. So, share your reformat experiences with me.

    [6/22/05] Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

    in 1Emulation.com Reviews [/reviews]

    Posted

    This is the eighth Fire Emblem (FE) out the nine FEs, and the third FE on the GBA and the second FE that is in English. Storyline is new and not related the previous FEs. New classes are added and two classes are removed (Nomad and Nomad Trooper), while new classes are added (Mage Knight, Great Knight, etc.).

     

    How good is the game? Since everyone have different opinions on how good or bad a game is. I will use the two other FEs on the GBA to compare.

     

    Classes: New classes added, and there is a choice to choose which class to be instead of the old way of swordsman to swordsmaster, you can choose to be an assassin instead. (FE8>FE7>FE6)

     

    Skills: Some promoted classes get special skills like Silencer, Pierce and Big Shield. And I won't spoil them for you, get the game if you want to know. (FE8>FE6&FE7)

     

    Characters: Compared to the other two, TSS has lesser playable characters which makes the game harder, since you cannot lose too many characters. (FE6 & FE7>FE8)

     

    Chapters: TSS only has one gaiden chapters which has no requirements. Thus, there is any hard goals in any chapters, which make good gamers bored. And the game is much shorter. The good thing is that you can get to choose two different routes after a particular chapter. (FE6 & FE8>FE7)

     

    Legendary Items: Legendary items are called Twin Relics in TSS, thus all items come at one time, and there is no special requirements to get them, so no matter how bad a gamer is, as long they can finish that particular chapter, you get the relics. (FE6>FE8>FE7)

     

    Maps: Still the same, but in TSS, you get to go to places you visited in past chapters to buy items and fight monsters. There are two extras places for you to fight and gain items. Otherwise, still the same. (FE8>FE6&FE7)

     

    Unlocking of Secret Characters: Same as FE6, after you finish the game, save at Epilogue and go to extras. But this time you just have to battle monsters at the two additional places on the maps. (FE8>FE6>FE7) *Finish the game 8 times in FE6 to unlock all secret characters is crazy in my opinion*

     

    Graphics: Common sense. New game means nicer graphics. (FE8>FE7>FE6)

     

    Sound: No comment, I don't like to open my speaker too high.

     

    Overall: Out of the three FEs on the GBA. TSS is good with new classes, but not the gaidens and the ways of getting legendary items. FE6 wins TSS with gaidens and ways of getting legendary items. As for FE7, good gaidens, and as for the "ways" of getting legendary items is *faints*....... So, if you are a FE fan, you MUST get the game! And if you only play FE7 and like it so much, play TSS, you will 10000% love it but don't throw your FE7 game away.

     

    Overall marks: 8/10 (Will be 9 if there are more gaidens chapters and more difficulty in getting legendary weapons. Will be 9.5 if there is a map creator like Advanced Wars. Will be 10 if we can make an ungodly custom character.)
