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

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.

Anyone like onlinecomics ? http://www.seraph-inn.com/

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 say try Landstalker, you wont regret.

svchost exe is used from programms using DLLs. The more programms you use, the more svchost entries in the taskmanager can pop up. Link to M$ Another quality post by Madman

No No, dont create "crap", create something readable, useable and stylish, there are enuff "crap" themes out there

You have 2 comps in your network that have the same IP adress. In the system settings under networks, right click on your connections, choose TCP/IP and select properties, there is a tab that shows you the set IP address for your PC on that line. Your other comp should have the same adress there, change the one of the PC using the ICS on the gateway to something different.

I got a Athlon 64 3200+ lately. Thats pretty powerfull and runs everything fine, from HL2 to Doom3. So i recommend AMD as well. My advice is, get a board that you can overclock your CPU with. Just a little, like 200MHz. With a good board (Abit Fatality AN8) you can (most likely) easily tune your CPU from 2.0 to 2.2 GHz making it a 3500+ Rather invest into a good graphics card like nvidia 6600 GT instead of more MHz.

Thats really something anyone can do. Open your PC case (with power off ofcourse and after having removed the monitor cable.) When you see the GFX card, you will noticed its screwed to the backside of the case with a single screw. Remove that one. If you have an AGP card, there may be a little plastic thingy at the end of the agp port (to the front of the case). Slide that away. But not many have this slider, its only there to keep the card in place. Then gently pull the card out. Stuff other one in. Slider back in place if there is one. Screw back in, thats it. Plug Monitor back on card, then power on PC again.

Yeah, in like 10 years, XBOX360 will be emulated

You can burn the BIN mounted into G with daemon tools by simply doing a Disc2Disc Copy with G being the source

Lend one from a freind of yours. pop it in, see if problem persists or not.

That can be done quite easily in VB.NET and/or PHP. Just open the file, and fputs each line into a new file.

Where have you been dude? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thx people. Well i have been very busy with worky and personal stuff. (My 2nd boy is now 9 months old.) Had to work on new rooms beneath the roof here,so i have a new room now. I also got a new comp a few weeks ago, and as im thru with HalfLife2 now, i was wondering wether my new comp could do on GC or PS2 emulation, but as i see, the emus dont work yet. Sad. I worked with some guy on a mmorpg in VB.NET but it didnt work out too good, so that project is set for me too now. Anyway, as stuff at work and in private life got a little set, i take a peek in here now and then. Looks like all the olde people still here and not many new faces popped up. Weird, i thought there would be a lot of more people here by now since you affiliated with ngemu

oh i see. Didnt look into that yet. Take cover GC
