I'd prefer a joke forum...

You are always the sucker when employed. My neighbour worked for this shop a couple of years, did all kind of stuff, extra hours and the like, took all he was ask to take.
Then his contract was due and that ass of a boss was like "yeah, no prob, you can stay" till the very last day, then he was like "oh, im sorry, no need to you to come back again tomorrow"
That shop is closed now, no wonder, if you are an asshole, your customers will notice.

Spring all the way for me.
The awakening nature is a great thing to see, its basically like summer, only difference is, its not that heavy air-humidity outside.
Winter is just plain stupid. All dark and grey, all cold and ice, people die due to ice on the roads, sucks to say the least.
But that maybe due to here, winter is only dark, grey and wet. Not much snow at all. If it would be damn cold and less wet, i may find something to like in winter, but the way it is here, winter sucks.

get Nvidia Ge Force 7 series, its the best for gamers.
you will be hapy with it.
Totally pointless if his CPU is too slow.
Unless he can afford a 6800 GT, which i doubt a bit due to the 5200 he asked for, the 6600 GT is the best atm, even if he must save some more.
the 7800 is out of question for anyone who is not rich or not a maniac.
Besides that, for emulation, the CPU weighs more.
Check my sig, i put it up with my specs now.

an actual console ?
I meant he rather gets himself a real Saturn off ebay. I got all my consoles there besides my SNES, which i got on fleamarket. Never saw a Saturn on fleamarket tho, but there are heaps on ebay, last time i checked. Should get one with round buttons so its modchip compatible -

Dunno. Maybe i was just lucky lol

That doesnt work out. See M$ Xbox. If Nintendo would have done that, or Sony, they'd be bankrupt now. Only M$ can afford to invest a few billion dollars to get started. They didnt earn a single buck of their XBOX.

the key is, all lines sum up to 15

Wee, the net just got better ?

Hm i have an ICQ friend, who said something about her company having to let her go due to some license issues too. But shes in the Netherlands.
But anyway, dont be too sad, its not your fault, you will find something new and maybe better, soon.

I was more like "ouch". One shouldnt laugh about other people hurting themselves.

Win98 almost never uses more than 256 Megs. Had some guy who got a new comp with 2x256 MB sticks. Installing WinXP failed, while installing Win98 worked and he never experienced problems while using Win98. Later we found out the 2nd stick was bogus, now hes on XP too, but it was interesting to see Win98 doesnt address anything above 256 MB obvisiously. So 256MB for Win95/98 is enuff

Looks like the console business is putting itself to dead.
If developing games on PS3 is that expensive, the games will be much more expensive too. As this is a heavy argument when considering to buy a console, i dont think Sony did the right thing here. We had it once, that a console was ahead of its time, and it didnt reach much popularity. And even more realistic graphics in the nextgen shooters is not something worth working on.
The console business must find its roots again and develop fun and innovative game concepts rather than new game clones.
EDIT: UF says it nice: http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20051016

But emulation of the Saturn isnt advanced much is it ? I dont believe there are a lot of games playable, if any.
Plus you need a quite powerfull PC, so before you consider upgrading, consider the real thing again. Its cheaper

I have a Asus 6600 GT PCI-e in my Athlon64 3200+ and it runs everything just fine, from FarCry over Doom3 to HL2. From his question about the fx5200 i guess hes a little short on money (like all of us). I can rec the 6600GT it gives you the most fps for your buck (or Euro)

My point. It should be fun for the "advanced" emugamer to come here, and for the team to add content.
Building a community is the key. And additional value. While the community will grow due to the people the additional content will draw here.
Emulation as a site topic has the downside, that the only news are about emulator updates. No more games coming up you could cover, no more rumors. The key question is, what makes emulation our hobby ? Is it the emulators themselves or is it the games ? If its the emulators, cover them in endless news on the mainpage, if its the games, push the news into some sidemodule, and focus on the games. Im sure it will be more fun to add long-lasting content to the site than news that are due in a week or two.
1emu has a lot more potential than my former site, due to the team working on it. I was on my own, while here a team has formed that is interested in emulation in the long term, not just a few people who try it out some months and then move on.
Im justing making suggestions, its your site and you people should decide which direction to take now as you found the site being "unpleasant". But you should do your best to make working on the site fun for you and not depressing. People will note the difference soon.

Yeah Agozer, this is an Emu site, but people dont only talk about emulation. See, its not people waste their entire day with solving emulator problems. If so, this forum would be much more active. But usually, after having stuff set up, people actually play and dont ask about emu stuff any longer. Even the forum topics suggest its only about emulation. Why name it "DreamCast Emulation Section" ? Name it "DreamCast Section". And then we can talk about homebrewing software, coding, MOD Chip insertion and other stuff in there.
So if i have finally set up my emus and all works fine, what can this site do for me ? There is not much actually. I think that was the main prob of my own site too. (Besides a misleading name...) We claim people come and go and there is no community here. Thats why. People come here, learn how to get started, and then leave for different reasons. One may be that there is not much on the general emu site that keeps people coming back once they learned the basics. Its for me this way, and i guess a lot of the oldbies agree with me here. Once you know about it, you dont want to see the 500th "Where do i get game xyz?" Question on the forums. And thats what most emusites are about. How can a forum be of help, if the oldbies leave for boredom ?
Maybe changing from an EMUgaming site to an emuGAMING site will help.
I saw "guess the game by screenshot", "guess the game music", highscore and timechasing contests on other sites.
Set up a game help forum like gamefaqs. Provide savegames. Provide cheats. Add some additional value to 1emu besides 30 minute news.
Invest your precious time into additional value, and leave the news stuff to those sites known for it. (I'd bet most of you go to ngemu to grab news). Doesnt make much sense either IMHO to post news about every 0.02 version of some unknown emu out there.
I believe then this site will prosper.
Speaking of the site, also consider wether the IRC stuff will draw people off the site, and quickly ask on IRC rather then posting ? Maybe easier for them, but it doesnt add to the boards activity. Even oldbie members here said they go straight to the forums, see there is nothing new, and then leave. Merge some forums to have a better overview on the site, dont slash the noob with dozend forums.
See, the news are not what we emu-oldbies are interested in. We know how stuff works, where to get the games and play em. The n00bs coming here got no clue, what the heck Gens, Mame or VBA mean. (VBA is a coding language too)
If you want an active community, you must serve the emu-oldbies needs. Otherwise this site will (stay?) and newbie-rush-through site.
Dont get me wrong, i biatch and moan cause i think you people here are emu addicted, and that this site maybe one of the few, that have potential, as long as you dont go the way of the common emusites.
This is the only emusite i visit regulary, though i didnt post much last year, but i would hate to see this site suffer. (Check my member no.)
Consider what GameCop said (slightly altered to make my point):
Almost everyday I consider [...] just giving up.Why ? I think hes frustrated about all his work not growing fruits. Just like i was before giving up maybe one of the best emu related domain names ever.
Try something new. Make a difference. Be different. Stand out of the crowd.
K, edited this post a dozend times now, i think im done
-
oh cool, i was looking for such thing a while
-
P.S. MadMan: I may be interested. Please PM me more information about it. Maybe a screenshot, perhaps?
You should remember it
I used IPB there too plus some custom coding on the frontpage, since i let the domain expire,
the design is vacant and you can use it if you like.
I should have the files on my LinuxBox, if you are interested i will check the stuff
The images in the tables rotate randomly upon reload.
I never even look at the front page news. straight to the forums, then I see nothing is going on so straight out.that's exactly what I do
The forum is a bit too focused on emulation, not much else too discuss here. Maybe add some more chitchat forums and sort other inactive forums into one bigger, i.e. merge the inactive forums into a bigger, then more active one.

oops double post, sry
-
My advice to you is that: don't play pokemon games
Well i dont like em either, but its no more or less than the same repetive monster slashing than in most RPGs.
-
Yeah not officially, its the WIP to 1.43 or later to be precise, at least some sites refer it so. But i say we cut this topic now, as its OT in this thread kthx
So back on topic: GameCop, if you like and dont have started (or plans) otherwise, you can make use of my old sitedesign on 1emu if you like, i still have the files around and no use for them. Just an offer. Or did i get something wrong about next version ?
*hides*
