    This is what happens when the age verification is just a checkbox…

    What/where is the "controller hack" thread..?
  3. walterg74
    Actually it is not... if you comsider whole libraries, I'm pretty sure the "best flash cart ever made" considering value per game would be the harmony...
  4. walterg74
    What was the price for these?
  5. walterg74
    Hi Yurkie, Are the front page prices still valid/up to date? If I want to get a console RGB modded, I would have to send it to you and pay 109 plus the cost of shipping it back to me, is that correct? And I can get the connection to be with a euro scart connector, right? How long does it take from the time you receive it? What does the "refurb" part of the process do to the console? Just in case do you currently have any consoles for sale? Thanks and sorry for all the questions!

    I don't need to convince you of anything, and there is really nothing debateable about this... you either believe roms have copyright or you don't. If you don't neither you or the ebay seller are doing anything wrong. If you do, you are both violating copyright, period. This is not debateable... (the fact that he additionally does MORE stuff wrong by alsomselling them is a seaparate issue).
  7. walterg74
    Yes, because we all own the thousands we download huh? Please, don't be a hypocrite... it's not apples and oranges, we're talking about the vioation, not the making money issue...
  8. walterg74
    Uhm.. I don't like what je does either, but you do know that copyright stands besides the fact if a person makes money or not, right..? Meaning if you downloaded the roms, etc yourself, you are also violating copyright... just saying...
  9. walterg74
    Uhm...ok, at this point I don't know if you're joking or not but... 1) you do know roman numerals existed before the concepts of fonts and serif/sans-serif, right..? 2) it's not two "I"s, the characters are two square brackets opposite each other that resemble the number two in roman numerals 3)"...The Apple II series (trademarked with square brackets as "Apple ][" and rendered on later models as "Apple //") is a family of home computers..." 4)Renditions of the "II" name: The "II" portion of the Apple II name was rendered in a variety of creative ways using stylized characters which resembled punctuation symbols on the front lids of the computers, and most printed material followed this lead. The II and II+ were labeled ][ and ][ plus. The IIGS and IIc Plus were rendered in small caps. The Apple III, IIc, and IIe models used slashes: ///, //c and //e.
  10. walterg74
    You do know that 2 in roman numerals has those horizontal bars, and that this: ][ is a pretty close way of showing it, right..?
  11. walterg74
    Uhm... because that's what the original logo/spelling on the case was..? http://s7.computerhistory.org/is/image/CHM/102626726p-03-02?$re-medium$

    An astute observer would have noticed it stopped long ago. But astute, this one aint..
  13. walterg74
    , I agree. It may make you mad because you're familiar with this, but with that same criteria we can also say the same thing about people who set up your computer or install antivirus or whatever. Just because it's easy to do and you know how to do it doesn't mean it's not worth some value for someone to do it for another person, or that everybody knows how to do this...
  14. walterg74
    LOL, finally, something we can agree 100% on!
  15. walterg74
    Sure, as long as they also give you a warning for personal attacks and insults towards other members.
  16. walterg74
    So do I. Playstation 3s, 4s, Xbox 360s, Ones and Wii Us....
  17. walterg74
    Agree. And that takes us back to the beginning of why it looks like crap playing on an LCD. See, I knew you'd come around :D
  18. walterg74
    Yea. Sometimes those converters are buklt into the new technology. Like composite inputs in an LCD monitor...
  19. walterg74
    Except you're not We're talking about using the original unmodified items that are on the console. Not introducing modifications, remember?
  20. walterg74
    Except you're modifying/converting the original, native, and analog signal...
  21. walterg74
    Yes, you can go back as far as you need but inly until you get a set of signals that can be fed into the appropriate input to make up the image, and there is nothing behind that with the same charavteristics, and call that the real native if you like. This will never be the case of RF, since it's, as it implies, a previous video signal modulated to be used in a tuner... Thanks for making my point though! As far as a console being able to work with a display device that hasn't been invented yet Of course it's ridiculous...now go back and re-read it but without having taken sarcasm-supression pills...
  22. walterg74
    Well, I wasn't talking about you soecifically, but I guess now you have? If a signal is present as the output of a chip on the original console, how is that "not that native at all"..? Seriously now, you're going to decide to split up the engineer's original design into your beliefs.. ok... No, it's not debateable, it's all part of the original native design. And if you don't want to consider this additional circuitry, fine, whatever is output natively to start with...And one thing's for sure, NO console outputs RF natively... unless you want to argue that too? Yes, the engineers designed it to be used on CRTs but they also envisioned it being used on a different technology that would no doubt later come along...I clearly remember a speech from the 80s, where this guy was saying: - yes, but don't think out console can only be hooked up to your tv or monitor, no siree! It can also be used on whatever the heck comes up with later on.. at least I'm pretty sure you wil be able to hook it up somehow to whatever type of port/connection or even technology will be created at some point... Yep. Any tv that was "enhanced" in some way... Of course not. That would be silly. Just the ones that are retro... See previous point. Yeah, gotta confess I know nothing about that. Or even undestand the techinque as I can undestand the whole raking a look at what comes up, but given your input is based in what you see and that's already processed and drawn, even while knowing what's ahead wouldn't it still have to reproces/change the next frames? Sounds really interesting... Agree.. this is like trying to convince women who think that HD and SD look exactly the same... if you can't see it, you just can't see it... But as long as you're happy with an LCD, knock yourself out I guess... On the contrary, it makes perfect sense as to why the portable looks like it does
  23. walterg74
    Thanks for the clarification! Now it all makes sense
  24. walterg74
    You're completely missing the point. I never mentioned anything about "converting "signals ( although apparently this is something a lot of people have read into on their own coming to their own conclusions ). What I'm talking about is NATIVE signals produced by the consoles/computers. And yes in a lot of cases this includes composite, chrome/luma, and even RGB no artifacting no weird stuff or any of the things you mentioned ( Heck, in some cases all you need is the proper cable, period).
  25. walterg74
    Oops, none of your reasons make any sense or are even correct/relevant in most cases (the case hacking one especially made me laugh..
