well, I'm wondering why 50% of my DS games are imports... now, I seriously do not know...hum hum.

hello;
I think I've seen you here before, but I haven't been very active on 1emu until more recently.
Anyway, welcome back, then.

I think this whole windows/linux/virus thing is ironic, because wouldnt you think linux would have more viruses...it being open source and everything? ha, but thats not the case
that's because no one cares about it
-
it looks great but that, at the same time, kinda kills the functionality.
If you want to check an emu site, you want to do so rather quick.
The loading time is a huge turnoff, despite the good looks.
-
it's a little sluggish, but I've seen other sites do that...
-
I see a sticky at the top of this page, and I agree...
This forum isn't too alive, yet it's loaded with subforums... isn't it an idea to remove some of the less visited forums or merge a few? Or am I saying bad things now?

Computer security experts were grappling with the threat of a new weakness in Microsoft’s Windows operating system that could put hundreds of millions of PCs at risk of infection by spyware or viruses.
The news marks the latest security setback for Microsoft, the world’s biggest software company, whose Windows operating system is a favourite target for hackers.
“The potential [security threat] is huge,” said Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at F-Secure, an antivirus company. “It’s probably bigger than for any other vulnerability we’ve seen. Any version of Windows is vulnerable right now.”
The flaw, which allows hackers to infect computers using programs maliciously inserted into seemingly innocuous image files, was first discovered last week. But the potential for damaging attacks increased dramatically at the weekend after a group of computer hackers published the source code they used to exploit it. Unlike most attacks, which require victims to download or execute a suspect file, the new vulnerability makes it possible for users to infect their computers with spyware or a virus simply by viewing a web page, e-mail or instant message that contains a contaminated image.
“We haven’t seen anything that bad yet, but multiple individuals and groups are exploiting this vulnerability,” Mr Hyppönen said. He said that every Windows system shipped since 1990 contained the flaw.
Microsoft said in a security bulletin on its website that it was aware that the vulnerability was being actively exploited. However an official patch to correct the flaw was not expected to be released until January 10.
In the meantime, Microsoft said it was urging customers to be careful opening e-mail or following web links from untrusted sources, and provided instructions for a “workaround” that would reduce the likelihood of attacks.
Meanwhile, some security experts were urging system administrators to take the unusual step of installing an unofficial patch created at the weekend by Ilfak Guilfanov, a Russian computer programmer.
Concerns remain that without an official patch, many corporate information technology systems could remain vulnerable as employees trickle back to work after the holiday weekend.
“We’ve received many e-mails from people saying that no one in a corporate environment will find using an unofficial patch acceptable,” wrote Tom Liston, a researcher at the Internet Storm Center, an antivirus research group. Both ISC and F-Secure have endorsed the unofficial fix.
In its security bulletin, Microsoft made a general recommendation against unofficial patches, saying it was “best practice to utilise security updates for software vulnerabilities from the original vendor of the software”.
Microsoft routinely identifies or receives reports of security weaknesses but most such vulnerabilities are limited to a particular version of the Windows operating system or other piece of Microsoft software. In recent weeks, the company has been touting its progress in combating security threats.
The company could not be reached on Monday for comment.

This is just terrible, what is wrong with Microsoft? They're making us a bunch of paranoid freaks. January 10th is a long way's away. This gives virus makers plenty of time to make the ultimate intrusion into all our computers. However, it also gives Linux a good chance to come back on top. I've noticed many library's are now switched to Red Hat Linux or other Linux software. Only time will tell.
linux back on top...
unlikely;
1) linux is still seriously lacking on user-friendliness (pointing someone to read a HOWTO is NOT user-friendly)
2) MS has to screw up more than that to make a lot people leave it.
3) Mac's would have a bigger chance
oh, HNY Gamecop
:) -
neat
I quite like that emu

I personally think it's one of the better recent SNK games I've played...
uhm, Capcom Fighting Jam is horrible, btw...

After quite a while of being absent, i have come here for several weeks/months now.
I dont want to biatch or moan, but i think this forum is not for me.
In all these weeks i have come here, after a long period of inactivity in the emuscene, i didnt find anything new.
Well, ofcourse i am the oldschool guy. I like SNES, Genesis and Dreamcast along with PSX the most, but i see there is not much activity in the appropiate forums as long as i visit here. Its all about xbox, dsemu and psp these days, and besides these, this forum is quite boring.
I have been asked a lot about this site by gc, and i wrote a lot, gc reorganized the forums as i proposed and more, but i do see the forums here are suffering from inactivity.
This i find quite sad, but there is not much i can do about it. So, after quite some time i came here, i may dive into inactivity again. I will sure come here and read the latest news, but i dont think i will find a lot of topics to reply in. Time has parted me and the emuscene, and even though i have been always preaching the good old 16Bit times, it looks like the world is not interested in them.
The emuscene somewhat became much like what the warezscene was some years ago.
It looks like time has got me. The scene as it is today is not the scene i am used to be. The scene the way i am used to it has vanished. All the great people and sites are gone. There is almost nothing for me left.
So i bid thee guys farewell. I may post now and then, but it looks like time has got me. May my 2 boys find something in these games i liked so much.
gba, ds, xbox, psp, dc, pocketpc's, etc. are actually really interesting when it comes to emulation; emulators are going multiplatform on a large scale now, think pocketnes, goomba, nesterdc, nesds, snesds, and lots more.

lack of support yeah; saturn was good (awesome even), but not in the US...
-
Gamecube was done right, it just didn't have support.
that's because they screwed up with the system before it.
The stunt Sega pulled with the 32X and then the Saturn also didn't help the Dreamcast, even the latter two were both good systems.
-
See Nintendo has the power in making non-gamers, actually gamers. Look at their idea with "Nintendogs", what other company would have thought of such a thing?
many, actually. There were "cats" and "dogs" games on the PC for a long time, and there was similar stuff even before...
It's much like "The Sims" with dogs anyway
Also, this is Japan. they don't like xboxes, not even if it does well in the rest of the world.

1) you need swapmagic
2) I didn't use a fliptop, but two tiny pieces of plastic instead - that worked FOR ME*
*no guarantees; it's said that it didn't work for some other ppl.

anything made by Jeff Minter

I could do a lego casemod with the amount I have =P
..the motivation though, not too high
-
cosplayers are funny people.
that's impressive though, I have to admit.
-
the first - yes, it's funny but I also think it isn't really a casemod; it's indeed hiding a PC behind a big anime doll....
It'd be funnier if you could stick cdroms in her head or something
-
Sonic Rush (DS) - it's everything that Shadow the Hedgehog is not - and yes, that's a good thing
-
Edit: Nevermind, saw the trailer.......chick playing Kasumi is ugly. Movie will suck.
welcome back

Hello,
maybe some of you can help me out here;
I'm looking for a good Beatmania sim for PC (NOT DDR); I know a few decent ones, BM98 and BemaniaDX; the first is heavily outdated though, and the second becomes older too, and doesn't work properly on my PC anymore due some compatibility issues.
If some of you people know a good alternative, I'd be glad to hear it.
Also, if you know where to find new/good BMS songs (Beatmania ones again, not DDR ones), I'm all ears
In exchange, if you like these kind of games, I might have a few BMS songs that you don't have yet =P
-
who knows..... =P
-
he'll get a 6-minute introduction in the next one? =P
-
I agree these kind of movies are crap, but I don't see the use for that petition....

hm, I used to have this custom DOS version of Mugen with way too many characters...got it from a friend. Too bad we both lost it.
It had characters like the rtype ship, tails, crono, and the street from kof 98....
but all the regular ones too...
