So i say, all in all. Build a decent pc, download some emulators. And play all the games.

Amen. But don't emulate new consoles or you'll go to hell, where you can only play new Tomb Raiders.

LGM · Thu 19/08/2004 18:43:42

Yes. Emulation is ILLEGAL! *cough cough*

Esseb · Thu 19/08/2004 19:20:21

Emulation isn't illegal. Some of the roms are though.

Ghostface, there is a XBOX emulator called The Nightmare. But goodluck finding a XBOX rom out there. I have spent weeks looking for PS1 roms but I found like 2.

R4L · Thu 19/08/2004 23:05:53

Emulation is awesome when you have the best emulator and lots of roms. Wario Ware Inc is fun! I use VisualBoyAdvance(latest version) and it runs smooth but you need a computer with lots of ram and space.

Rap4life try the modify button, and...

DC++ it is your friend.

But only download roms of games you already own and DO NOT share them with other people.

I ain't stupid! I know this! But, thanks anyway. I have TONS of roms but I own all the games. I never get rid of any system. What the hell is DC++? I thinking it's a scripting lanquage?

Just for the record.. Even if you own the game the rom is still illegal for 99% of the games. It states in nearly ever games manual that the back-up rights do not apply to console roms (The whole you can make a back-up of a game incase the disks get damaged and such of early pc software). Because the warranty on games that if they break under regular circumstance (Not because your brother stepped on it)Ã,Â they will be replaced.. Sometimes for a price but either way the whole only a rom for games you own thing is not true.

Don't get me wrong.. I have many ROM's. If the game is not being produced anymore and I cannot find it for a reasonable price used then yeah I am just gonna emulate it. I am just seperating fact from fiction.

R4L · Fri 20/08/2004 04:35:41

Damn... I HAVE BEEN CHEATED AND LI- well anyway I still have the roms and I plan to keep them.

Nintendos Dieing... Just like Sega... First they lose in consoles then when the psp portable and possibly a microsoft portable the DS is history

R4L · Fri 20/08/2004 04:59:07

You are completely wrong! The DS is cheaper but will have more Classic games on it. You can expect lots to buy it. The PSP is for PS2 fanboys and will most likely make more money BUT Playstation PSP has fewer manufactors for games. Metal Gear Acid and Gran Turismo are in the working and thats all. More will come. The Nintendo has more because all it's games are licensed to it but it also has companies loyal to it. When someone states something new is on the way at E3, there are companies that will say it will make games for a particular system.There may never be a XBOX handheld because Microsoft doesn't need it to make huge amounts of money. Besides, no one wants to see Halo on a small screen with most of its features gone. I despise Halo in every way, the biggest being that its still game of the year and that its still selling.

Nintendo will not die. Even though Nintendo is a "stubborn" company that won't change its ways, Nintendo won't die if they cut back the prices of the Gamecube games and accessories. $99.00 is cheap enough for a gamecube so no cut on that. If Nintendo plans on having a future, they will make the next home console backword compatible. If its Oh, buy our new system but throw away your old one because you don't need it anymore, gamers will be extremly pissed off. Sony made a good idea to make the PS2 backword compatible. The XBOX has loads of money because of Microsoft. Nintendo will never die as long as people remember it's classic characters. Maybe Nintendo should remake some old games. That should bring them back.
3 Reasons why no one buys Gamecube.
1.) Everyone thinks the games are too cute for them.
2.) The graphics aren't as good.(only lesser lighting and plainer textures.)
3.) Doesn't like the controller.

That just pisses me off to think ho people only care about how the game looks. Driv3r sold soooooo many copies and the bad thing was, it sucked. I rented 2 copies of it and tested them on my XBOX and my friend's PS2. There were MAJOR bugs, the same coming from both systems. The game freezes at the start and then continues or it will freeze and never play again, making me reboot the system. Collision- detection problems are widespread, everything from Tanner to cars sometimes pass through walls that make the gameplay impossible. Pop-up issues and frame rate sluggishness are there too. The new on-foot targeting system flat out sucks. Aiming the weapon is a chore, and it gets aggravating. The enemy AI is horrible. I had no fun playing this. The car chase missions suck too. While the cars handle good, hitting one obstacle sends your car flying into weird positions. One other thing is that your line of site is impressivly long, but the cars teleport into existence a short way down the road, adding unfairly to the challenge of high speed driving. The voice acting is, however, awesome. Sound is good too, as guns to cars sound authentic and clear.

Maybe its intended for Nintendo to go down(god I feel like a bad person typing that). They have been around since the 80's. That's a long time, but still impressive how they are still alive.

Sega failed because it's buisness management skills were shit from the get go. You need to study your console history and business ethics a bit more before making such a claim...

R4L · Fri 20/08/2004 05:25:59

I never stated anything about Sega man. I stated about Nintendo. If you meant about me stating about Nintendo I am right about most stuff. I could be wrong about most stuff I had said but as far as I know Nintendo could be alright.

Kinoko · Fri 20/08/2004 06:32:00

Just for the record, and this is fact, not an opinion - the playstation is shithouse ^_^

I own 2 XBoxs and 2 Gamecubes and nothing on earth could make me want to buy a PS2. I agree that stating the XBox's stats is no real way to defend it's greatness. The fact is that there are some AMAZING games on XBox and the specs are the essential icing on the cake for those games. Dead or Alive 3, Jet Set Radio Future (Japanese, of course), NINJA GAIDEN! >_< These are great games on their own but the sheer freaking grunt of the XBox makes them spectacular to play. Ninja Gaiden alone is reason to buy this console.

Gamecube is awesome fun, as usual from Nintendo. The games aren't as good looking as the Xbox, but it still craps all over the PS2. Pikmin, Wind Waker, Animal Crossing and one of the best games ever, Giftpia... these are all great reasons to own a Gamecube.

PS2? Blech. The games are shit in general, and good games are put to shame on it (and of course, there's all those fucking Final Fantasy games that people like other people to know they like). It's the console for people who don't care about their games. ^_^ Sony should have died out and Sega should be living on with the Dreamcast instead.

There you have it - pure gospel.

R4L · Fri 20/08/2004 07:00:30

Hmm... I like it!

Mr Jake · Fri 20/08/2004 08:00:22

PS2... made with 2/3 year old technology and the cheapest parts Sony can get. They dont even use one of their own CD drives. and, last time I checked, you'd really be better getting a Xbox or gamecubes since the price of the PS2 isnt THAT much lower. (last time I checked)

Pet Terry · Fri 20/08/2004 09:52:42

I don't know much about consoles nowdays... but I've been checking some newest games in local markets and I've seen more interesting looking games for PS2. Anyways, games and consoles are so overpriced that I might buy PS2 or Xbox or something after few years if they are cheaper then.

Bah, give me NES or SNES anyday! Those two are good enough for me!

PS. I found this thread amusing.

Kinoko · Fri 20/08/2004 14:35:05

Part of the reason a lot of people gravitate to PS2 games is because there're so much MORE of them than on other consoles (in Australia and America anyway... I couldn't say in Japan). Trust me though, the best games on Xbox and Gamecube are usually the ones that don't get as much attention.

Mr Jake · Fri 20/08/2004 14:46:13

I also agree with Pete. I WANT MY NES AND MEGA DRIVE BACK >:O
