Well will have to wait until I get a cd player b4 i try it.Hey jaysmith ATTBI good internet provider

Well i bought it cause it was a steal, suprised jaysmith2000 didnt bid as i say his name on the list of bidders.

So what the deal I bought this game and dont have a jag cd yet.Some people say the game is a lemon others say it a great game? Anyways any opinions on it would be appreciated.

Hmmm u looking for a mini atari 2600? if not i would be interested in buying them.

Yeah really talk about compulsive bidder.But b4 it goes to far I am pretty good about it, and email the highest bidder informing him where he can get it either new or whatever at a cheaper price.Of course depending on how much time I have.

Yeah congrats on the rayman, u will not be disappointed.Definately one of the jag better games.Also if you check ebay there is a copy of cannon fodder for 9 bux with box.I have 2 already or else I would of bought it.But of course I snagged some of the other games.

Yeah I was reading the big fight about mac addresses, and had to add my bit.Number 1 I worked for big broadband network(7 million as I last heard it) and used to investigate/war room( control centre) data , and monitor the network, both in small segments, to the larger segments.Most of my experience I have seen, nothing text book wise, but have actually had the problem right in front of me.I dont know whos quotes I am using, but here it goes.And No I am not trying to start a fight.Just my experiences "It would also send out a little message telling the head end the branch where the duplicate MAC was found, and then that particilar node would be carefully investigated for other strange activity. If it persisted, the guys with the little vans with the ladders would be dispatched and they would look closely on the wires up on the pole, find your house and knock on the door. " Yes and No.For the fact each provider runs there servers Subscriber identification differnet.If we are going by mac address yes there would be a conflict.And no , a service man isnt going to go out and investigate it.No need to, all the tools are there at your finger tips.Most of the time you send a service guy to do 2 things on the pole .He is either going out there to turn on the tap, or he is going out there to adjust the frequency.And 9/10 times if it a service issue it a frequency adjustment.Hed will also go out and inspect the node to make sure it is in functioning condition ,and have a physical inspection of it.If there is a security issue they will monitor the network and sit.Also some providers run computer name/idenfication number so mac address are pretty much void, other than the modem mac. "The very reason MAC level addressing is maintained on these types of networks is to be able to track down pirates and bandwidth theives. " yes and no also, depending on how the provider runs there set up.I know for our huge network we used mac addresses for identification.And yes we had people with the same mac addresses.But our tools let use look at them.How you say?REMEMBER the service agreement u signed when u got the service? Well the provider is allowed.Rememeber your cable/dsl modem? Well the mac address talk to the modem if u want to say.And they reason why they do this is for 3 reasons 1)to control the amount of possible traffic on a given area.On the long term goal it is to know when to up the frequency and upgrade the servers.So x amount of mac address for so much bandwidth.2) So valid customers are identified and are protected against theft 3) depending on how ur provider works, but some and we used to, charge for ip addresses for each mac card.It is in there best interest to know how many macs to ip they are being charged.As far as bandwidth theives, I disagree.You cannot steal bandwidth with a mac address.You can try but you will not be able to connect as the server will not reconize a second identical mac address.I know we tried on a many occassions to test new software(All legal).There are really 2 ways to steal bandwidth other than find the line digigng it up and pinching into it. 1) you change the configuration file of the modem 2) or you have the tools to change the frequency of the line, which if u do an do not know the frequencys, your modem will disconnect as the configuration file is preset with the parameters.Also you will need abit of help with the server also, as it keeps live frequency readings.If you screw with those, screw up, that when A tech will come out and have a look see. "We're not talking about the backbone here, we're talking about the ability for a MAC address to be known by someone other than you. By whatever means necessary. You seem to think that there's someone out there thinking that they can take an old linux PC and some alligator clips and tap into the internet backbone and sniff your traffic" Yeah your provider, at about 2 clicks u can see everything.As a hacker, knowing who your provider is, and a few phone calls. "I have no misconceptions, and am NOT using double talk, I am trying to give real world examples of why MAC addresses can be made up in a LAN without any major problem. " Totally disagree.Called network conflict. No I am not spouting technobable. The list of protocols was to illustrate that there is more than just EtherNet used, and as MAC addresses in this discussion are for EtherNet hardware, their propigation stops at the end of the EtherNet segment. Now as these various segments all over the world are linked by lots of other protocols that don't use the EtherNet MAC address, there is no way it is going to conflict with someone elses hardware unless they are on YOUR LAN in YOUR segment. Slight disagreement, ok I disgree. segment? you talking within your network or on the network as whole?if it a a whole woooo no way.We had someone from seattle ----> florida with the same mac id.Remember each of those smaller segments equal one big one.All of our data was feed into out main frames and recorded all of this in a flash, so to say it would fine on your local network no way, on your natianl network no way.If you however ran one on one provider, and used on another provider maybe.Depending if they are sharing mac id information.You have to remember the backbone is owned in segments.A company will lease a portion of it, and the next area is owned by another.I know we used to cross refernce out stuff with other networks especially when we were goign to take over a segment or buy out a provider.But of course subscribers used our"software" which was nothing more than spyware.Pretty sweet stuff to. "Is there ANY reason you can think of that a company would want to know the MAC addresses of devices on the network they run?" yeah cash if they charge for ip address assigned to macs, or to get a better projection of future upgrades.Also to protect the subscriber. "The fact that there's only a small chance your stolen number will cause a network conflict is beside the point. It's a stolen number." Wow I would have to think you wouldnt be able to connect. also rememeber your mac address is only half of the puzzle, the other half is you cable/dsl modem.Without either you are goign to be SOL.Each modem mac is also assigned to mac addresses.So even if you had you modem , and started inserting strange numbers, the server wouldnt reconize it, unless u called them and asked u to add it.Of course if it aused nic, it will come back as alreayd used.Then u might get the sweatdown of who is the manufacture etc. Anyways that my 2 cents from my ex job.Remember no fights I am not trying to pick any.

Anyone ever snag one of them?

yes some one know how to fix this, i could be one jag richer.

Wow I feel sorry for you.I got it , and played it for 5 mins.I have to say go find rayman, far superior than zool 2.

Wow cant believe how hard of a time you are having?took me a little bit to get my first one, but after that it been a piece of cake.I even have 2 jags to buy off people still.TIP: ebay aint the only place, if you are going to just look there, expect to pay higher, than if you sat there and found another jag online somewhere???

Hey dragonforce let build a time machine ! I lived those golden years and would love to again.And fanboy, yes mr jag is 64 bit.It 2 32 bit processors built on a 64 bit architecture.

Sorry I have to disagree thunder, there is alot of dead room.The cart opening is about 2 and half inches high, and the sides almost a full inch on either sides.The is ample room to size it down.Hey thanx for the battery input also punisher.If i get really into the project i will need more input.(I am bidding on some lcds) .My thinkpad battery says 14.4 v, I figure it be a tad to much.i guess i will look round for a 9 volter.Also I did go over the thread about the cheap rotary controller, and if i did just get the guts of the controller within the box I would also add that rotary within for added tempest 2k pleasure.Anyone know what voltage the psone battery pack is? I guess if i do give it a try i will have to buy yet another jag.Also anyone have any other links to the other home brew portables, I love to read how they went about it.

I have to disagree JagAttack sonys then entertainment division president was quoted on saying he was goign to crush nintendo.As far as sony ruling, hardly.Yes they have more consoles sold, but the bottom line is the dollar and nintendo beats both sony and microsoft of them by a mile.As far as sega, remember the saturn? Well it would of lasted longer, but if anyone remembers it just nicely died.Same with the cast, it just nicely died.By numbers the cast would of still had more consoles sold then the xbox and gc and still would of been a contender if they would of keep into the game.i like sega and sad to see them just developers.

Yeah thunder I hear u, but the difference is the playstation is still in manufacturing stage , the jag isnt.Of course they are going to find a cheaper and more practical approach to produce a playstation at a cheaper cost to sell additional units. As far as hard I really dont think so, after taking apart my burnt jag, modifications to the actual case could be pretty easy and also smaller.There is alot of dead room in there.

yeah i know as a nintendo fan, nintendo would stil be ruling the world with it.If you ever have the chance find the book "How nintendo took over america" .Very good read.

Hey glad someone else has seen some other home portables made.And punisher 5.0 I would love your input for the power supply problem.After thinking about it, I either do 2 things, use the jag case and modify it.I might have to sacrifice a jag controller and see if I can some how insert the contents in the shell. Also if i did decide to use the case do you think I should use it on the top side, or flip it over?Now looking where the circular part is, it would be pretty sweet for the fold down lcd screen.And no, you dont need to get to technical, It can be built with off the shelf parts.Sometimes the simplist approach is the best.Also, can a jag controller be modfied for both a rotary and directional pad? I figure if I atttempt to build one, I should go full hilt and built one within the unit for my beloved tempest 2k.Anyone got a cheap interact lcd they want to sell me?

I think the biggest blunder by nintendo is when sony made them a cd add on for the snes.It was almost a sealed deal until they bailed on sony and went with philips(hence some nintendo products on the cd-i).Sony was mad, and vowed to cripple nintendo.The cd add on became the psone.

Number 1 I am not goign to build it, I just thought mayne someone tried. number 2 If i did build it I wouldnt fold the board( to much of a headache.Number 3 You could build something with off the shelf parts.For example the interact mobile monitor, it takes av cables and such.If you wanted truly portable it be very tricky for the power.i think if i DID build one it would just leave the ac adaptor cord exposed and just run it off that.From the size of the case to the actual size of the board, IMHO a controller and a lcd screen could be modified to fit within the case.

Check it out.Yeah i do think you could.Mind it the lcd screen would be the kicker.Even if you didnt chop any of the board and left it in original form I think it would be quite possible.Even the controller fiots pretty good good on the backside of the board.

Well I agree thunder about the whole chip thing, you will have to keep.I just figure since you do see these homemade built portable systems(atatri 2600, playstation, nes) why couldnt u use a jag?For scientific purposes, I think I will crack my fried out jag, and have alook inside to see the board.Also Might I add if you had schematics to the board you could almost pinpoint what could be replaced and what is essential , and what could be removed.

me hahaaha hardly , just wondering if it has been tried.The way I figure it, is since it is almost 10 years old, some parts could be replaced with more energy efficent parts.Also i figure with the design, a pro controller would be a better choice, than a standard one.

Anyone ever try to build one?

Yes get some tempest 2k , i know when it time to get rid of all my jag stuff , i wil keep one jag for tempest 2k it that good.

Well it was a let down to say the least, as far as version I would have to give it to the super nintendo version.I have never tried the saturn version.But Jag being the arcade port, hardly.Where are those lovable chessy fmv in half time? If not mistaken the snes had that.I am happy I only got it for 9.99 anymore and i would of felt ripped off.But in JAMS defence it was way better than WMCJ by far.
