  1. It's also one of the most counterfeited games on ebay, so buy with caution.

     

    I noticed that! Found a copy for $30. That was suspicious enough, so I checked the seller's other auctions, and it was a bunch of obvious reproductions without being listed as such.


  2. I do find it odd that they are going for a more powerful hardware revision though. Isn't the DS line already segmented enough as it is (DS, DSi, 3DS, 2DS, and varying "lite" and "XL" models in between)? I suppose this is a stopgap between the 3DS and the next true successor.

     

    DSi & XL had more powerful hardware over the standard DS models. It was only used for some DSi-exclusive downloads, and also to allow games to run more smoothly. Playing Dragon Quest 9 on my Lite while my wife played it on her XL, it was much choppier on my DS.

     

    This thing, though... very strange.

  3.  

    I think the PSP does it much better than the Wii. Is that an illusion caused by the PSP's small screen?

     

    Nope, PSP had better GBA emulation. A while back I was playing through LoZ: Minish Cap on Wii (when I was at home) and PSP (on the go). Saves were compatible so it was easy to switch. goldenegg up there is correct that Mednafen ran it best on Wii, but it still wasn't as smooth as on the PSP. I assume it's down to emulator efficiency, as the Wii should be a bit tougher. But hey, remember all the PSP/Wii cross-ports back when those were current systems? They're fairly similar in power I guess.


  4. H.E.R.O.'s fun, but seems to rely a bit too much on memorization. Maybe I'm wrong & just haven't played far enough into it, repeatedly, to find out how later levels unfold.

    Anyways, I played a bunch of Beamrider last night. That's probably my favorite. It's like Tempest on a five-node web. The visuals & sound are great.


  5.  

    1)Could anyone give a detailed guide on how to do this?

    2)Which files need to be burnt to a CD for it to run?

    3)Can you use CDRW or do they have to be CDR

    4)What software is required?

     

     

     

    As with most other disc-based systems, burn the ISO or BIN/CUE image or whatever you have as an image file, not as one giant file plopped onto the root the disc, using ImgBurn. You probably want CD-R and not RW.


  6. If my logic is correct, a VGA box doubles the resolution, or at least a progressive scan. I expect some softer edges, and better color. Am I correct in this?

     

     

    Doubled, compared to what? The DC generates 480p output, and the VGA box is how you get it out of the DC. Compared to composite, expect jaggier (sharper) edges.

  7. Well, I just got back home from this. Ran into a couple of AA members, saw Albert (you looked busy), and gave a poor showing in the Medieval Mayhem tournament. Finally got to try some of the newer homebrews at the AA station, and damn did they look nice on those modded consoles and Commodore displays. Elsewhere on the show floor, the 8-iMac LAN running Duke Nukem 3D was a neat addition.

     

    I'll probably head back tomorrow to see all the bands. Gimmick starts early!
