DreamCastLover

"hey you keel my DOG!" Some guy who spammed the forums a few weeks ago Yeah I know it was a cop out

Sequels are all about cashing in on a name (like video games based on movies and vice versa). They don't have to be good and they usually aren't. I mean why spend an extra $50 million when everyone will still come see it anyway? Anyway, I think some of them will be good. Matrix Reloaded was excellent and X-Men 2 was ok. I just want to see the new Terminator movie. I heard it is actually good.

Only 3 hours You should come work for the company I work for PS It's great

You can use bin2iso. It's a small 32Kb tool and works fine for me. http://users.eastlink.ca/~doiron/bin2iso/ I think it's probably better to do that because bins and isos are different sizes, so I don't think just changing the extension would work too well. It also means you can fit 800Mb BIN files on 700Mb Cd-rs.

Yeah I love that hack. Saves me a lot of time when replying and let's face it, I am a lazy git.

Well I got my DC on launch date and I've been a fanboy ever since Seriously though, there are just so many cool things you can do on a Dreamcast that I had to learn them all. First time I found out about the emulation etc was around summer 2001. I stumbled across dcemulation.com by accident. I haven't been there for ages though and for my news I prefer consolevision (no freakin pop ups). Anyway, there are probably lots of people who have Dreamcasts who don't even know about all the cool emulators & homebrew games/apps. I've even tried a little Dreamcast devving with KOS but nothing worth releasing into the scene. This reminds me that I should update all the info I have stickied in this part of the forum. It is quite out of date heh But hey, thanks for the compliment mate

I am strictly old school. There are the odd modern game that wows me with a combination of great gameplay and great graphics but it is rare. But for me it's old games all the way. Which is why I love emulation

Dogs bums The scary thing is, there are probably about 1000 sites devoted to dogs bums already on the net

Well I do have similarities with a horse *wink* *nudge* *wink* *nudge* Yes, thats right! I have hooves!

First would be Snes for the exact reasons that Gamecop gave. Second would probably be Amiga because it just had so many great games that I am only now truely appreciating. GBA would be high on the list but since I play all the games on a flashcart on the real hardware it doesn't really count I guess.

heh that is really cool.

You can try http://www.deathclock.com/ instead. It does the same thing. I got 76 too. But I'm older so I will die before you GC

I've never used a wallhack before in MOA so it's pretty funny to see what it looks like. Definately takes all the fun away though. (I may have to try it just once ) Anyone thinking they are great when they cheat is like saying they are a pornstar just because they cellotape a ruler onto the end of thier ding-a-lingkie. They are lying to everyone else but most importantly to themself

This convo is way too deep for me. They both taste good and that's all I care about Ok maybe not. I also believe in the evolution theory. Maybe not quite as Darwin put it but definately along those kind of lines. I am going to say the egg, merely because I think something in the birth process of a reptile changed and the first sort of bird creature was born. It wasn't a chicken then but it was eventually through evolution. Maybe someday, someone will be able to give the one true answer to that question, but I imagine by then I will be worm food.

I thought the same thing. I should learn to finish reading stuff. Anyway, I also really like the new look. Still keeping the spacey theme which is cool. I also like the new name

I would have to say cow too. I mean all the bigger animals would kick my arse if they were angry. Ie elephant, hippo, buffalo, gorilla etc I could probably biatch slap a camel if I trained hard

The whole online cheating thing is basically why I only play on private servers with my friends. That way if someone is cheating you can physically kick thier arse for doing so. When you get some cheating wanker online who says "lmfao rofl lol rofl y0 suxor j00 lo0zer", it's a shame you can't give him a good slapping.

yeah, HL2, Halo 2, Doom 3 & F Zero were the ones that really blew me away.

Yeah, excellent post emsley. I couldn't have said it better myself

I don't personally see the problems with ports. We are spoiled by emulation but there are a whole generation of kids who haven't even heard of, nevermind played half of these old games. Also there are a huge ammount of completely brand new games out/coming out for the GBA. I do agree that competition for the Big N is a good thing though. Having thought about it a bit more, the PSP is probably aimed at an older market, say 20-35y/o. It will also be interesting to see how they get the rechargable battery to last more than an hour considering all the moving parts and the large screen. I also hope the parts used are of far better quality than the crap ones used to make PS2s. Analysing the specs a little Display: Wide-screen (16:9) TFT LCD with backlight (res: 480x272) - The screen resolution isn't good enough to play DVDs (720x576)or SVCDs (480x576). ie the movie playback won't be that hot. Disc medium: UMD (Universal Media Disc) 60mm optical secured ROM disc with cartridge (1.8Gb) - This I do like but only if they are writable. Being able to use your own cds(mini dvdrw) is important for something like this. Video CODEC: MPEG4 - Sony say near DVD quality which is a blatent lie. Mpeg4 comes nowhere close to DVD quality. Graphics: 3D polygon/NURBS - This is what really pisses me off about Sony. Fanboys will read that and go "NURBS, no way, that is the coolest" The effect of Nurbs can easily be achieved using normal polygons. It's just more buzzword crap that means absolutely nothing. They did the same thing with the cell and what a lot of pish that turned out to be Audio: PCM (built-in stereo speakers; stereo headphone output) - Nintendo should learn that people like built in headphone outputs. This is why the GBA SP sucks a big one. I/O: USB 2.0, Memory Stick slot - Since the PS2 has USB 1.1 transfer speeds I don't see the point of this. But hey it's still nice to have it. Battery: Rechargable (lithium-ion) - It will be pretty much the same as the GBA SP battery. The GBA is solid, has a small screen and no moving parts hence the batterly life is long. This won't be the case for the PSP. Anyway, to sum up I am not that impressed. Worst of all is that they are keeping the dual shock control pad style for it. I don't like the analogue sticks for the PS2 so this is pretty annoying. And if the system fits in your pocket I will buy everyone in the world a beer. The main casualty of all this will probably be the N-gage. Why pay £300 for a handheld gaming unit with phone capabilities when you can buy a mobile and a GBA for less. There are also rumours about a portable Xbox coming out in the next couple of years. Maybe we will hear about it E3 2004. You would be an idiot to think MS hadn't tried to develop or design a handheld.

I doubt even Sony can dent Nintendos stranglehold in the handheld market. I hope they don't anyway because if they do then Nintendo will most likely die

I used to draw a lot of comics when I was younger but I don't have the time or the patience to do it anymore.

Shame about the stupid, stupid name. Snake Eater.... right.....

That is even worse than those magic eye pictures
