So CBM & Atari lightpens are not compatable it would seem.

I've got a lightpen for my Commodore. I would "assume" it would work. What 7800 games use a gun anywho? I'm interested to try this some time now. Now I wonder about the Genesis Lightgun. I'd imagine I'd have to change the pinout for that to work tho?

Oh goodie, another "I can list my stuff" thread. -EDIT: I assumed this was consoles only, not computers too, so added them.- Apple Macintosh (Classic) Apple Macintosh SE/30 Apple Macintosh Performa 6116CD (PowerPC 601) Apple Power Macintosh 5260/100 (PowerPC 603) Apple IIe Apple IIc+ w/3.5" floppy & external 5.25" floppy Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari 800 Atari 800XL (with Pokey/Gumby, UltraSpeed OS & 512k upgrade) Atari Jaguar Coleco Telstar Alpha Coleco Telstar Ranger Colecovision Commodore 16 (3) Commodore 64 (3) Commodore 64 mainboards (6 or 7) Commodore 128 (4, one with StereoSID and 64k VDC) Commodore 128 mainboard Commodore 128D Commodore Amiga 500 (w/ internal 512k ram/clock card) IBM Thinkpad 760XL & Docking station Intellivision Nintendo NES Nintendo SNES Nintendo N64 Nintendo Gamecube PC P1-166 w/128megs of ram & 28gigs HD space & 8x CDRW PC P2-233 w/128megs of ram & 200gigs HD space PC P3-650 w/640megs of ram & 620gigs HD space, 52x CDRW & 4x DVD Burner (OC'ed to 780mhz) Playstation Sega Dreamcast Sega Genesis w/Sega CD Sega Saturn Xbox

Ditto. This is, without a doubt, one of the lamest thing I've ever seen. Ouch. You can buy a REAL PC or 3 used Xbox's for that! Hmmm. It's already a sub-par PC as it stands now. First, it's only a 1.4ghz VIA chip. Honestly, I didn't know VIA made anything other then motherboard chipsets till just recently. Not that there is neccessarly anything wrong with VIA, but I personaly have no experience with using them. At best, can't be any better then an AMD. No limit on how crappy it can be (shudders to think of a CPU crappier then a Cyrix). Options? Great. Which means: A slew of different consoles with different hardware, running different drivers. Can you say "compatabilty issues"? Thats what makes gaming such a f--king joy on PC's, now ain't it? And a problem that Consoles DON'T have. Besides, who wants to burn cd's on their console? I hope they fail misserably.

Uhh.. it has No, It hasn't been hacked so much that people are able to burn Mini-DVD with ISOS or GCM and pop em' in and play them! Yes I know about the PSOLoad hack, the ACLoader made by a piracy group, and various "rippers" used to rip data from a GC disk. So, I did not mention the GC was not hacked to it's full extenent, which led to confusion. And trust me, it ain't all that it's cracked up to be. Interesting on a technical level, but playabilty suffers in the limited number of playable games. It's one of the goofiest work arounds I've seen. Tho still interesting.

Excel spreadsheet for me.

There's also the nude patch for DoA:Extreme Beach Vollyball. Suposidly, there is also a nude patch for Barbie Horse Adventures, but I can't find the bloody thing!

How many emulators has anyone ever tried to run nested in-side each other? And what were they? I've not gone crazy myself here. Most I ever did was run a NES emu under a SNES emu. Eh, it more or less worked. I was thinking of some extreme lunacy however. Imaging a Xbox running Linux, running VMWare, running WinXP, running an Xbox emulator. For novelty's sake, might be interesting to try. Anyone else here do anything goofy like this?

It's just as easy, if not cheaper, to make your own adaptor. Xbox controller ports are standard USB ports. (Well, there is one exception, MS added a 5th, yellow wire for Lightgun use.) Pick up a cheap Xbox extension & USB extension. CompUSA has a cheap Xbox extension for like $3.95. USB extensions tend to be a bit more expencive however. Might be better off taking apart some old USB device to get the plug or socket you need. (What I did was bought a cheap USB keyboard & mouse & 2 xbox extensions. Cut the xbox extensions about a foot back from the game controller plug side, leaving 8 feet or so of cable w/xbox plug. Used those cables to replace the original usb cables in the keyboard & mouse. Then took the foot long xbox game controller ends and spliced them into the usb cables I removed. So I got a Xbox dedicated keyboard & mouse and 2 Xbox controller to PC adaptors out of it.) As far as the drivers go. I've never been able to get either set of drivers to load correctly under Win2k. I haven't tried them under any other OS, so I don't know if maybe that is the issue or not. I do know that the first driver (Xhid alpha) at best will only make minimum use of the controller, and only supports the original xbox controller (not the S or any 3rd party). No analog button support, no force feedback, etc... The second driver (XID) claims to support the S controller too, as well as a couple of MadCatz. This is the newer of the 2 drivers, albeit, still over a year old. In otherwords, don't expect to plug a xbox stick in and expect it to work like a Logitech Wingman. Not until someone sits down and starts over and writes a proper driver for it. (Wonders if someone could hack the driver out of the xbox console?)

FCE UltraX (NES emu for Xbox) supports light-guns too for games like Duck Hunt and so on. Not sure if any other EMU's do.

YIKES!

By default, the 1571 will detect the slow serial port and fall into 1541 single-sided mode. However, you can still tell the drive to go into 1571 mode and use double sided disks. Just type: open15,8,15,"u0>m1":close15 Should you ever want to force it back to 1541 mode, type: open15,8,15,"u0>m0":close15

Maybe thats how they cover the costs of the free mags. All the ink they save by printing short addy's.

I just signed up. Here's the GamePro one, BTW. http://www.gamespy.com/arcade/gamepro.shtml Signed up there too.

They still have USPS written on the inside of the box, and if you took it to a post office they most likely will not let you send it regular mail. heh thats an easy fix if you already own a million fat tipped black markers Try these then. http://www.fast-pack.com/spray_paint.html http://www.uline.com/AdvSearchResult.asp?v...1&Method=BROWSE

I just bought this @ Gamestop for $19.95 today. (Yes, we've now got a GameStop, not much further away from me then GameXchange. Woo woo!)

Yes, that is a great game. Get a fishing controller if you ever stumble across one. It's goofy, but it works.

Personaly, I like the standardized boxes. Lets not forget even Atari was doing this as far back as 1983. Atarisoft boxes are generaly standardized, and color coded to system. So were the later Silver boxes for 2600/5200/7800 games.

How does V7800 factor into the number of emu's that exist? It's a standalone DOS emu. However, it's nothing but the original Mess code in a self-running package that was released before the first Mess w/7800. Does that make it Mess, or a 2nd emu?

I don't pay attention to ratings. Halo is rated M as well and I have no problem letting him play that. And I'm surprised you can play "Mature" titles. But see that goes to show, you don't have to be "mature" to play ******Mature***** titles. Yeah, thats the problem with video game ratings. They seem to be a bit off the mark. Halo should be T, not M. And Vice City is obviously AO. In retrospect, forget what I said about the Xbox's built-in parental control. It's realisticly useless. (At least they tried. )

Must, stay on, topic. Spock, what, were we, talking, about?

That doesn't mean they can't still hate them. Lets face it, Windows is a monopoly. Linux can't run everything Windows can. Ten bucks says they are still sticking to "the man" by the fact that none of them paid for their Windows.
