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.

Atari games with labels that are upside down or even pasted over other labels (the most I've ever seen is 4 labels stacked on top of each other). These are all the way they came from the factory - a product of poor quality control.YIKES!
-
Are you trying to use scotch tape to make it look like the label is laminated?--Zero
Sometimes magic sounds like tape.

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

WTF! My address is too long to fit in the field, that sucks! I can't even fit my street let alone an apartment number.Free mags for anyone with a small street address!
Maybe thats how they cover the costs of the free mags. All the ink they save by printing short addy's.

Brand new TV. Looks in good shape, very clean. Only thing is, it's missing the picture tube." -
I just signed up.
Here's the GamePro one, BTW.

Signed up there too.

If you REALLY want to save money on boxes (and postage), try this trick. Get a bunch of the Priority Mail videotape boxes from the post office for free. They come flat, so you have to fold them into a box shape; when you fold it up, fold it inside out, so that the Priority Mail markings are on the inside and the blank cardboard interior is on the outside. Now you have a free box that you can send carts in at cheap media mail rates--you don't have to send it priority mail!
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.

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.
-
7800 on the other hand... why is there only one emu for 7800?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?

Hey Cleopatra: Vice City has an ***Mature*** rating on it. You should have known not to let your kid touch it. DUH.
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?

The next time you see someone rage against Microsoft in all caps like that, look at the headers of their mail or Usenet post or /ctcp client them if they're on IRC. Ten bucks says they're running Outlook Express or Mirc under Windows
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.

If I buy a foreclosed house for $250 bucks, then sell it for $50,000, am I "ripping off the bank"?
1) No one is forcing anyone to buy it.
2) Anyone bidding on this could have just as easily bid on the same auction the current seller won it from themselfs.
(Disclaimer: I'm not an ebay seller. I never used Ebay, probably never will.

THE BOX IS JUST SLIGHTLY OPENEDJust "slightly" opened, eh...
-
IIRC, the Sega Saturn discs are stamped with a copy protection as well.
Aw, that shouldn't count since it's not BCA, but a sega propriatory thingy.
-
I think who ever the first person is to successfully mod a Gamecube is going to be a very famous guy.
GC Links (mostly loaded with guessing & speculation).
It's interesting that BCA stamping of cd's is still around. Been around since 1997, and the only other thing that ever used it that I'm aware of was Divx (not the codec, the PPV video cd garbage) back in 1998.

The controller basically works somewhat, but does not seem to work as designed unless that design entailed making controllers so counter-intuitive in function that many games are unplayable.Nintendo has been doing that for years.
(Sorry, I've been resisting this for the last 12 hours.)

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.
