I have a Yoshi Island cartridge, that works only now and then.
Sometimes i put the SNES on, and all works fine. Intro plays all the way a dozend times. When i hit start, the screen blinks once, then the game resets. Weird thing is, sometimes all works fine, mostly right after i switch the console on and push start. Can play several hours then without reset bugging me.
This behaviour appeared on my spare SNES as well, but with no other cart i have, so i suppose it must be something inside the cart. But how do i get that thing open ? Any tricks anyone ?
I read somewhere, some guy used a melted plastic stick, pushed it on that weird screw and he was then able to loosen these thingies, but all plastic stuff i tried, didnt work.

Ah my paket shows up on online status of that parcel service.
He put it in on 21nd and they grabbed it on 25, its on its way now.
Next time i rather pay 2 Bucks more and have it here in 3 days.
With our german UPS clone, DPD 5 games i bought last weekend and brought to package service yesterday, arrived today.
Now i have 5 N64 games, 1 memcard, but no N64

And why you doublepost ?

Fake links and trick votes is, when you click some link named "Rom download" or similar, and instead to go to something you expected, you end up in some topsite list. And that is not issued by spyware.
Maybe it was before you people got there, and he changed it later, i dont know. Has been in the emux ages, a site which i doubt anyone of you will remember

Im from germany and never heard of it.

The MSI one was one of the faster cards in tests when i informed myself, so go with the MSI

Some just cant stand it that Intel is 2nd know

Good thing that is. But with a wife and 2 kids, you'd be low on time too

Couldnt submit my 188 points on EAT!

same here, not much difference

Yeah wll, i know some Assembler, but that was like 15 years ago, on 6502. I remember very few commands like STX, STY, JSR and the like, but i think, to learn all this low level stuff, you must be either in business of game programming or be addicted.
Im a big emu fan, but i dont have the time to learn that much about any console in detail.
The reason why i considered doing an emu, is the lack of some project to work on. Im into VB.NET/C# and want to do something on it, but heck, i dunno what to code.
I dont have the intense to code the millionth calculator, zipper or other crap. I need something i am hooked on and willing to work on. So far i did not find anything. Its annoying.
I was thinking to bless the scene with a useable SID manager, but there is hardly any info on the sidplay lib.

Glide ? Glide ? Hmm thats for 3DFX cards only, right ?

If it has Metal Slug 6, some game geek will do an emu for it

I personaly, am sick of half-assed games with the mario characters put in them
I want a new side scroller type game, or even something like mario 64, at least that didnt suck totally.
The GBA Games arent that bad though.
Ah someone like my own taste. All this rip offs wont do the game industry any good. If they continue this way i think, they will go down the drain soon.
With my old comp, i wasnt able to play a bunch of games, so i put them in the closer till this new PC was mine. So then i played Doom3, HalfLIfe2, FarCry, Medal of Honor: PacificAssault, Breed, GTA:SA...
And Boy, im through with shooters now. Im just sick of it.
Same goes for the current console games. all rip offs.
"Mario plugging holes in walls", "Mario driving nuts" and "Mario wanking 128" gee who can stand this ?
I found out not too long ago, that GBA is nothing more than a portable SNES. I noticed with Breath of Fire 2, i was like "Hmm looks almost like on SNES" and i took 2 screenshots, and the graphics where the same PIXELWISE. Menus altered a bit and that was it. But i dislike its low framerate, makes action games a pain to play.
Anyway, i think if the game industry wont show courage like Sega did all these years, there wont be much more than FIFA 2010, NHL 2010, NBL 2010 and Doom 45.
In the mid-term, gamers will get sick of it. Then game industry may collapse for people entering the emuscene.
On that point i think the Revolution is a big bang for Nintendo for selling old games. I may get a Revolution to play Gamecube and all the stuff of one console.

Not yet. Seller confirmed payment on Friday, so i consider that lame bastard shipped it today, so it should arrive like Wednesday.
Maybe im just too impatient. I got my MegaDrive, Saturn, Playstation and Dreamcast all off ebay, i seldom had bad luck there, like maybe 5 times with more than 400 transactions total.
It was 15,50 Euro with BucknBumble plus 7 Euro shipping. Not that much, but i want it badly, bought 5 more games and a memory card in another auction too.
Its the last console im interested in. I need it to have something to hunt down on fleamarkets for im like thru with PC games.

Oh well, i found some GameBoy emu with source in VB.
Its like VB6 and way outdated, but well, the sourcecode looks like its more like a pain to code an emu than fun. Looks like you simply (?) line up a ton of if-then-else querys. See attached file, especially 2nd half.
Well, i think i forget about emu coding then.
-
yes. but that guy has like 370 positive comments, 30 within last month, maybe hes just a slow retard :-/
-
Well, as of today, my N64 still did not arrive, i wonder if i was tricked ?!
-
I think there is quite a discrepance between what the media tells us ("No big deal, no need to panic") and what really happens (entire areas get quarantined upon 1 infect)

well, the KOF series is kinda freaky to me. If you have like KOF2002, i see no sense to get 2003 or 2004. Master the chars in 2002 first, then it makes sense to get some more.
In general, besides collecting all these games, i think there are way too many fighting games. Pick some you like and train these, imho there is really no need to freak out about each KOF hack. Unless you have broadband and dont care...

Give it a week and you will be used to it
2 more hints: Put Xbox into other systems till xbox360 emus are up
can the official emu forums be folded ? They take up quite some space and are not much active. Maybe move them down a bit.
Should have the more active forums at the top so one doesnt need to scroll that much

I got my new comp 2-3 months ago, so im quite up to date on hardware at the moment.
Hyperthreading adds some boost to applications and games,
yet the most powerfull CPU to date is the Athlon64.
AMD lowered prices today, you can get an
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ for 328 bucks and have a _real_ DualCore CPU instead of emulated 2nd core as in Hyperthreading.
In the long term, 2 real cores will be better than HT, when software starts using both.
Quote from THG about X2:
"The first surprise here is that unlike Intel, thermal issues did not force AMD to reduce average clock speeds to operate two processor cores on one physical chip. This means that AMD dual core processors should run exactly as fast as their single core versions running at the same clock speed. In contrast, the fastest Intel dual core will remain at 3.2 GHz, while the fastest single core clocks in at 3.8 GHz."
You should read this article:
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050509/index.html
then decide.
Read some more articles on different sites and learn about the current state of hardware technologie, then buy a comp.
I got a A64 3200+ Singlecore, cause dualcore from AMD is also Socket 939, and with a decent Mobo, that has support for Dualcore, you trash the single core, plug in your new dualcore when you can afford it/need more CPU Power, and you are set. AFAIK Intel Dualcore has a different socket than singlecore CPUs, so you must decide prior buying.
REQ: Emu coding
in Gossip Café [/offtopic]
Posted
opcodes are not regular codes. i.e. they are undocumented and unsupported, noone should use them, yet they exist.
They can, for example, do 2 things at the same time.
so you could have a decent working emu, that doesnt support opcodes. All games that dont contain opcodes will run, any game calling an opcode will crash then.
So the alternative would be to leave opcodes out (first)
