Well, this is an rather old topic, but i think it might be of interest, that i got a file called "Bad-to-Good_N64_ROMs_Patches.exe" of a common p2p programm, that holds 668 IPS patches to make BAD n64 roms GOOD ones.
Maybe not PJ64 patches, but ROM patches that may make some work malfunctioning before

Even though I only have a P4 2gig with 1gig of ram Windows vista worked pretty good.
Madman your PC sounds old going by your comments.
Anyway just wait for the end product.
Well i have an Athlon64 3200+ Venice core here. 1 Gig of Samsung UCC RAM, both run fine at 2200 (CPU) resp. 220 (RAM) MHz.
Sitting on an Abit Fatal1ty AN8 (Nforce 4 Ultra) and running off an WD740 GD with 10.000 rpm, fastest SATA2 drive known today. I view things via my Asus N6600GT with 128 MB. I got it like 3 months ago, all components handpicked, and im pretty pleased with it.
But if thats the stuff needed to run Vista, there will be not much ressources left for games and/or apps. XP runs stable finally, compared to 98 and the like, and thats all i ever wanted. I see no step ahead in Vista, besides i have a new search function, which a) is for free on XP now with google desktop and
isnt needed really if you keep your stuff somewhat sorted.Furthermore i expect a lot of issues with the games i play on Vista, just like some games that worked fine on 98 dont run with XP anymore.
If you like an optical appealing system, you should take a look at Vista, i rather have a system reacting promtply without optical ressourcewasting crap.
Call me a performance whore, but i cant stand it to have useless icons showing next to my clock either. -
Make sure both are in the same workgroup.
Both should run same Windows version. 98 has probs with XP, but XP can 'do' 98. Both on XP Pro would be best.
In system settings point to Network, choose properties, then TCP/IP-Properties. Make one 192.168.0.1 and one 192.168.0.2.
Reboot. Browse network neighbourhood by right clicking it, choosing explorer, then search for the other comp. If it shows up, you did it. Maybe make sure some drives are accessible networkwise.

hmm has been a while since i fooled around with ipb portal.
For the iframe part you need to edit the sourcecode, same goes for addons and stuff, you will get step by step instructions on how to alter the sourcecode and in which file.

meh
what good is it to have all that shiit and not play it
maybe he or she should've started some video gaming museum or something
Yeah it looks like some people have way too much money.
I think thats beyond the line of rational thinking. I collect a little bit myself, but i only buy the games i like and (at least, plan to) play one day.
Never would pay for a japanese game just to get my collection filled or invest in these NHL NFL and other crappy sportsgames for console.
Then again there was no rational reason for me to buy that SNES on fleamarket today, as i have all the ROMs, but its not quite the same.
btw N64 next

Even my massage seating in my game room cant beat this...

If you read the hardware requirements of that Vista thingy, my new comp (8 weeks old) is just enough to run that Windows. I doubt it will be a success shortly. Everyone on XP turned that colorstuff off quickly when they used earlier versions before, so besides more colors and some new search functions, i doubt it will have anything really new. I for my part will stay with XP as long as its possible. It works and runs fine on my machine now.

k, got me there.
wipe this topic

If your ISP says they dont use a proxy, try to set the autodetection setting to off.

Damn that booted me

Burn at slower speed. May solve unreadable discs probs in your PSX.
Something generel fyi: an.ISO is like a picture taken from the entire disk in file-format. When you burn it and open it in explorer, you should see some stuff on the disk. If you burned a DATA CD and dragged and dropped the image on it, and you see filename.iso on your disc in windows xplorer, it wont work in your PSX. I know some people have probs getting the difference.
-
Launch Nero, start a new project. Doesnt matter what. You can also cancel the wizard popping up when you launch Nero.
Then in Menu "Recorder" choose "burn Image". Choose the.iso file.
Insert CDR. Hit burn. Wait. Done.
Nero should identify the right ISO - format usually, unless its a non-standard-iso.
But for PSX Alcohol120% should work better, it has settings for PSX games built in

Of what i hear Ubuntu is the most user friendly Linux so far.
I have tried RedHat and SuSE too, but that has been a while.
Havent tried Ubuntu, but if you have some weird hardware that makes probs with Linux, try SuSE it has the best hardware detection.
Anyways, a great site to bookmark is this one: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

The Saturn is pretty hard to emulate due to custom chips.
I may suggest to get a real one of ebay, they are not very expensive and run the games best

If it appeared all of a sudden, its most likely some software problem. A broken DLL file, DLL and/or driver version conflicts or god knows what. As i suggested earlier, reinstall Windows, then try again.
If the problem persists after a clean install, its most likely a hardware problem.
But first you should check your CPU cooler too, maybe your CPU gets too hot. Check the CPU temperature in the BIOS after your comp crashed if there is such option. And wait for Memtest to finish to make sure your RAM isnt wrecked. If your CPU temperature doesnt raise above Intels specifications, and your RAM works fine in Memtest, reinstall Windows.
Next option would be the powersupply being broken, not able to support your comp with the needed energy (any more) when its under load.
-
You should try to locate the problem a little better.
Does your PC crash only when you launch games and emus or does it crash on normal applications too ?
If it occurs with games/emus mostly, it may be that your DirectX is screwed.
If you have Windows XP Pro installed, run setup again from within windows.
Dont format the Harddrive tho, install over existing version, solved some probs for me with bugged DirectX. Shortcuts and stuff will stay.

Again, SLI is a waste of money imho. Cant stretch that enuff.
Ofcourse SLI support grew a lot last few months, and SLI works for like 70 games now. Nvidia has a list here:
http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_game.html
Besides only very few games supporting SLI, its better to buy a single nextgen card later, for better speed and more features supported on the hardware side.
Your 2 Geforce6800 GT cards in SLI mode are worth a crap if you need Hardwaresupport for the next Shader Modell version.
-
Well, what kind of card you should spend your money on depends on your PC a lot. It doesnt make sense to stuff a 6800 GT in a Pentium3 @ 550 MHz. So tell us about your comp a bit. CPU Type, clock and RAM will do.
From my experience, in my old Athlon Thunderbird @ 1.2 GHz comp i was running a Geforce4 MX 64MB and i changed it to a FX5200 128 MB and stuffed the geforce4 into a P3@550 MHz.
I didnt notice any improvements with the new graphicscard on my comp and was pretty dissappointed. Besides FX5200 supports DirectX9, so some games run now, which didnt run before but still were close to unplayable.
I guess the slow CPU was the cause.
So if you have a somewhat decent PC with lets say 2.0+ GHz CPU Pentium or 1.8 GHz AMD it may be smarter to save another month.
If you have a comp like my old one around 1.2 GHz, an FX5200 will be sufficient, as its hard to get anything below that.

For the RPG thingy, you should give Alundra a try
-
Then again, I've never experienced any of the problems you mentioned.
Yeah, seems to work for some.
Dunno why this happened (on 2 cards actually) but hell, we live in 2005 i think i can expect a 3D card to display windows properly. Im glad it works for you, but for some, it doesnt.Anyway, on the other hand, ATI has nothing to compete against nvidias 7800 atm, and if they dont show up with something quick, we have nvidia rule the market, and it always sucks if any company does that.
So for the sanity of all of us, i hope Ati shows something soon.
-
SLI is a total waste of money. For 2 reasons:
1) only like a dozend games actually work with SLI, most games do not support SLI.
2) A single card of a better chip is usually faster than 2 cards in SLI mode. See the 7800, which is faster than 2x 6800 in SLI.
Besides that you will have more advanced features with a newer card, like Shader Modell 3 for example.
So dont go with SLI. Its a waste of money.
Besides that you should choose nvidia over Ati.
I have 5 comps all running on nvidia from geforce2 to geforce4 and one running an fx5200 while my new comp runs on a 6600gt and never had any problems with it, while i and other people i know do have (had) probs with Ati. For me all the text in windows flickered heavily, no matter what driver i used. So nvidia all the way.
Dunno the price in $, but you should prefer a GT version. Dont fall for the Turbocache stuff, this sucks major too. I got the Asus nx6600gt and im very pleased with it. Best value for your money as of today.

They are most liekly undumped. In Japan there were games for the Genesis that were available to people buying certain mags, these games usually were of poor quality, like Ys was one of those if i remember right

I personally dont see much advantages in daily news. It doesnt matter much wether i use ZSNES 1.41 or 1.43, most games work anyway.
If you want a growing site, you should try to automate the news stuff.
Talk to the emu authors wether they can provide the scene with some RSS feed you can grab and parse serverwise. Or parse their websites and grab the latest news posted there.
Instead of hunting news, use the safed time and keep the forum active and work on the community and increase useabilty.
