would the performance difference between the 128-bit and the 256-bit be worth the difference in cost between the two? (just how big is the difference in performance?)
-
Sounds like a dream come true! -but just how reliable is your source?-

I'm going to buy a new graphics card next month ,the problem is i want a good "budget" performer. i'm thinking of the ati radeon 9600 but i never had a ati card before, so i dunno what to expect. Maybe i should just stick with Nvidia and get a geforcefx5600 or something.... what do you think?

There are some emulators for the PS2, but for Neo-Geo it's too slow....that's why X-BOX is always better when emulating stuff. Check http://www.zophar.net for some lists.
ps2 too slow? because of the hardware specs?

The best console 's probably a girlfriend. I've no GF.
yeh!!. nice port to plug your joystick into
highly reccomended!!!
-
err..well , mine is a PAL version with the scph-50004 bios -if that is what you mean (i bought it october last year)
can you have it modded to play emulators and such neo geo etc. (i also heard that it can be done with other consoles) like the xbox??
-
yeh. i feel with you brother.
i also sold my genesis, sega-cd and saturn (with my entire games collection) to a friend to buy a real crappy graphics card at the time.
now i'm only left with my PC and PS2 - tho i hardly use it (the ps2) games are way too expensive in South Africa (about 80-100 $ per game) just use it to watch dvd.
-offtopic- my friend says if i have my ps2 chipped i won't be able to watch dvd anymore. is that true?

Art of fighting 2 - the game is simply impossible to beat

i'm using edonkey - overnet. is it any good? (i mean in comparison)
-
to be very honest. i don't even have any movie rips on my pc or in my posession.
( collecting movies doesn't interest me )I won't say that i support the idea of piracy and i won't shun it either. here where i live we have the problem of overcharged products under the excuse of "import costs" hurmph - biggest B.S under the sun - all of that makes you consider the alternatives -if you know what i mean.

you probably live in the states don't you?

Gameplay comes first to me. when playing action games graphics and sound plays the bigger role but stuff like rpg and rts is cool as long as the the gameplay rocks (i can tolerate bad graphics up to a point but never shallow gameplay)
-
A pity that they got arrested.
-
i play beat em ups because they really challenge my reflexes. i have a long history with all kinds of fighting coin ops. from Streetfighter1 right through to kof2003.
The satisfaction of pulling
off the special moves is really great too. combining what you have learned into combos is offcoure the best
That is exactly the reason why i love kof so much. the sheer number of combos and the kewl characters!!
-
mmmm....it depends on the year...
in 94 - 96: it was the art of fighting and fatal fury teams only
in 97 - 99: Kyo Kyo Kyo!!!, Iori, Takuma, k, Shingo, Daimon, Kim, Yamazaki, Robert, normal and super Yashiro(98), KOF Andy + Fatal fury Andy(98), Terry and Joe
2000: Kyo, Shingo, K, Takuma and Iori (The rest of the characte's moves and combos changed too much)
2001 - 2003: Kyo, Terry, Iori, Takuma (Only in 2001), Shingo, Andy
My absolute favourite character of all time: Kyo Kusanagi, Takuma Sakazaki as a second choice
-
by Joe!! i got it to work!!! (it was the "vsinc on" setting that caused the major slowdown....turned it off and now my 3dmark score is 7500 ,but with minor screen tearing
) just glad i'm getting the performance i wanted now -
personally, i prefer arcade style racers
-
mmmm...i heard that there are certain risks involved with using low-level format on the newer hdds
-
no, have you tried a win98 start-up disk with fdisk on it (stiffy)
-
How about running fdisk?
-
i don't play nes roms that often ,but when i do; i use rocknes

Sammy merging with Sega
$1.45 billion deal will see the Sonic publisher become a subsidiary of a new Sammy-controlled company.
TOKYO--In a joint statement today, Sega and Sammy announced they will be "merging operations" in October by becoming subsidiaries of a new holding company, Sega Sammy Holdings. Once merged, Sega and Sammy's combined annual income for the fiscal year of 2005 are expected to be at 501 billion yen ($4.4 billion), making it one of the biggest game companies in Japan.
However, according to Bloomberg News, the announcement is actually a takeover of Sega by Sammy. Under the terms of the deal, Sammy, which already owns nearly 25 percent pf Sega, will exchange about 165 billion yen ($1.45 billion) of stock in the new company for Sega's remaining shares.
Each share of Sammy will be swapped for one share of Sega Sammy Holdings, while each share of Sega will be swapped for 0.28 of a share. The deal will give current Sammy shareholders control of nearly three-quarters of the new company's voting stock.
Today's takeover recalls a similar attempt between Sega and Sammy to merge in 2003. Seven months after that deal fell through last May, Sammy bought 22.4 percent of Sega from its biggest shareholder, the CSK corporation. Since then, several high-level, old-guard Sega executives have resigned and Sammy president Hajime Satomi has become chairman of the publisher's board. Satomi will continue to hold the top position in the new company, sitting as both chairman and president of Sega Sammy Holdings. Sega's current president, Hisao Oguchi, will become vice president of the company.
With Sega's development skills and Sammy's finances as the largest Pachinko slot machine manufacturer in the world, the two companies hope to play a dominant role in all markets of the entertainment industry that the two companies currently have businesses in: console gaming, pachinko, "pachislot" (pachinko/slot machines), amusement, arcade games, and the content services market.
Sammy president Hajime Satomi commented to reporters during press breifings that "Sammy's profits will be larger during [the first] two or three years [after the merger]. But thinking into the future, Pachinko and Pachislot has its limits since it's domestic [business]. Sega will turn out to be greatly more profitable [in the future]"
Satomi also commented that Sega and Sammy's brand names will still continue to be used after the future reorganization of the two companies. Businesses related to the arcade and consumer gaming sector will continue to run under Sega's name, while the Pachinko and Pachislot related businesses will run under Sammy's.
Sammy and Sega's stocks will be withdrawn from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 27, prior to the launch of Sega Sammy Holdings in October 1. While Sega and Sammy will continue to run as separate entities at first, plans have been announced for the two companies to merge and be reorganized into four new divisions by 2007: pachinko and pachislot, amusement and consumer games, media content and network, and miscellaneous.
Following the announcements, Sega also revealed it will be merging its divisions together. Starting July 1, Sega's seven subsidiaries--Sega Wow, Sega AM2, Hitmaker, Sonic Team, Smilebit, Amusement Vision, and Digitalrex, will begin integrating back into Sega.
