  1. A monopoly is just when a company dominates a market completely. There are few true monopolies, but there are many near monopolies like Microsoft. There is competition but VERY little.

     

    Sony has a near monopoly on consoles, Nintendo has a near monopoly on handhelds, and Microsoft has a near monopoly on the OS market.

     

    The next round of console wars is going to be exciting because unlike this generation, other consoles actually have a chance.

    Nintendo with their "revolution" is claiming to create something new and exciting, if it turns out to be as great as they say it could be the must get system of the next generation. Virtual reality, or something like it could generate a lot of sales for Nintendo if they can make it affordable.

     

    Sony has the PS3 which is claimed to be extremely powerful, though remember what they said about the PS2. PS3 already has a massive lineup from previous consoles and a massive following that will buy a PS3 no matter what.

     

    Microsoft has one of the greatest benefits of all by being the first console to be released. If they make a really powerful system cheap, which they can if they take loses, it will be simply irresistible to buy. Who wants to wait a year or so for a next gen console when they could get it soon, and cheap?

     

    The PS3 still has an edge by it's following alone. But with the release of the next XBox, that could lead to loss of costumers who would rather keep their next XBox than buy another console which may be hardly more powerful, and be more expensive. The next Gamecube will then compete with the PS3 at about the same time, and if the next Gamecube is something very unique and cheap people may just buy it instead of the PS3 cutting into PS3 sales.

     

    Even after all that, the PS3 will probably sell pretty well. So overall it's anyones game.

  2. Go to it's official site at

    http://www.work.de/nocash/gba.htm

    There is the debug version that still costs money but it's really only for developers.

     

    From what I've seen it has the same exact compatibility as VBA. So why would anyone bother, when VBA is around with so many features.

     

    LINK SUPPORT that's why!!!!

     

    NO$GBA has link support!! Atleast it claims to, I'm having trouble setting it up, I managed to get 2 games running but I can't link them, if anyone knows how to get the link function working please tell me.

     

    But if someone can get it to work, this will mean BIG news to GBA emulation.

  3. The last (and ONLY) time I installed a codec pack, it screwed up 3 existing codecs, and when I uninstalled it I even lost codecs I had installed on my own that it had apparently overwritten. I even lost all my frickin MP3 codecs, and was left unable to even play music let alone a movie that had MP3 audio.

    Stick to individual codecs, packs are junk.

    What codec pack did you install so we can watch out for it.

     

    Also on the topic, I use K-Lite. I don't see what's the difference between getting the codec pack and getting them seperately, except the codec pack saves me time.

  4. It may be that the CPU Priority Level is High, although if that's the default setting then it probably isn't because I use default settings and it works fine.

     

    I'd uninstall Alcohol 120%, restart your computer, and install Alchohol 120% again. That way it's a totally clean installation with all changes gone.

     

    Try burning the disc again with DAO/SAO set and enable buffer underrun technology. Change no other settings.

     

    If it doesn't work then, then try burning with Nero because it's a Nero image and Nero may be better with it. You can download Nero at http://www.nero.com/us/download_nero.php?pak=1

     

    If it STILL doesn't work then your image is probably messed up and you have a whole lot of coasters.

  5. I downloaded a.RAR file that contained files in it called

     

    file.svc

    530 bytes

     

    file.001

    19 MB

     

    file.002

    19 MB

     

    file.003

    19 MB

     

    file.004

    19 MB

     

    file.005

    19 MB

     

    file.006

    7.33 MB

     

    How do I get a single file from these. I have WinRAR installed but WinRAR doesn't recognize the files, atleast in the sense that I can't click on one of the files, click extract and have them all as one file.

  6. Visual Boy Advance supports real time clock.

    Just go to options on the menu bar, go to Emulator, and check off Real Time Clock.

     

    It's as simple as that. :lol:

     

    If you don't see it then you're using an old version that doesn't support it, just use the newest version available at http://vba.ngemu.com/

     

    If you're impatient for night or day to come, just use a cheat. Cheats can be found at http://gamefaqs.com/ just do a search.
