I would love it.... but alas I am more of a collector then a dev, my skills are laughable at best....
Anyway yes it should go to some one who would use it, there are a ton of people here who would probably sell some body part to get something like that.
lol yeah I am one of the few people who managed to beat that game back when it was new, it was hard so very very hard...
Oh and by beating Ninja Gaiden I mean I was able to beat it like 5% of the time.... Even knowing how to do it and having the skill did not guarantee a win.
I wish I still had my VHS tape of me beating it... yeah I was so obsessed I would video tape my video games and analyze them looking for mistakes. (I was a creepy little kid... lol)
That last boss was not right, it had to have been designed by Satan or some other hell spawn.
Nahhh the post your replying too was incorrect, the only thing Duck Hunt checked for was the brightness of the square thats all it did.
The screen did not go black then black with a white square, all it did was go black with a white square in the position of the sprite you where shooting at, if your gun was pointed at one of the white squares when you pulled the trigger you scored a "hit" if it was in the black area it was a "miss"
"The light detection flag gets set when sensing light emission from the display, ie. when the cathode ray beam outputs a bright color (preferably white) at the location where the gun is pointed to. Most video controllers are latching the current cathode ray beam coordinates at the time when the light detection flag gets set - that's not supported by the NES/Famicom video controller - it could be eventually implemented by software, ie. by counting the number of clock cycles between vblank and light detection. Otherwise, the following trick can be used: Output a black picture, with a white field at the desired target location, wait for 1-2 frames, then check the light detection flag to see if the zapper was pointed to the target area or not. The downside is that the normal picture cannot be displayed during that time, so one should check the zapper position only when necessary, ie. typically only at the moment when the trigger gets pulled."

Yes the hovercycle level does end.... I did manage to beat that game but holy hell it required you to sacrifice your life and memorize large patterns of precise timing!
I am not sure if its harder then Ninja Gaiden, thats another game that was "Nintendo" hard.
Talking about the here and now, not back in the day.
Sony right now, has the most expensive system to develop for and also the system with the least amount of sales (its dead last this gen) That alone is enough to deter most devs from doing much with it.
Honestly at this point as a PS3 owner I get more use out of its backwards compatibility then playing PS3 games... Sometimes I think I might just hook my PS2 back up and save my electric bill a few pennies.
I own a launch PS3 and a launch Wii, I honestly have played the Wii more then the PS3 (before some one says "but thats not true!!!") I only like to play FPS's on my PC so the PS3 really has a small library to begin with, remove the FPS's from it and it gets down right pathetic.
Looking forward to GT5 when ever the hell that comes out....
Yes add more features surely playing movies music and games was not enough!!! They needed more features so they could outsell the DS!!!
The DS didn't win because it had features..... it didn't win because it had better graphics.... it won because it had more fun games to play and a bigger variety of games to pick from. Pesky consumers and there desire for choices!!!!
Sony just does not have the developer support for 2 systems, I suspect they would be better served by focusing on one or the other.
In a way they already do this the different wave lengths are used in something called multiplexing, they can cram a lot of completely different signals down the same pipe at the same time with this technique.
This pretty much hits the nail on the head, I am 2 of those installs... One I have chipped and the other I have just soft moded. (BTW chipping is better for piracy)
Yeah hacking the Wii is a cake walk, but just pirating a PC game is way beyond 90% of the human population... (heck just installing it on the right hardware and getting it to play right is a huge challenge to some people...) I guess my point is that as a very tech oriented person I see hacking the Wii as super easy, but to most people it looks like voodoo witch craft combined with brain surgery.
I mean my soft moded Wii I used the Zelda hacked save file to install the home brew channel. The steps are easy but as a test see if you can tell some one else how to do it with out helping them very much.... Most people will say "Whats the root of an SD card????" or "I installed the hack on my SD card where is the home brew channel?"
As one of my friends said to me "Pimpin ain't easy!"
I call BS on the OP whole post... AV programs have always clearly stated what versions are intended for 32 or 64 bit.... You have too since they work at the driver level.
I would have just pointed out the fact that the sentence also contained the word "made".... I would find it hard to "made" something in the future. The word made means it has already in the past, make is in the future.
So the sentence "The fasted video card ever made" means exactly that it is the fastest card made yet.
The sentence may not hold true for very long but on this day it is correct lol
Besides if the wold got blown up this afternoon then it would be true for all time (unless you believe that E.T's also make video cards then who knows lol)
Just buy a nice Logitec Playstation 2 style USB pad and enjoy 99% of the games if you set it up right.
MAME works well on it, some games will require fiddling with no matter how good your controller is.
As some one who remembers when the 2600 was still on the shelves... I can honestly say, just buy a newer style controller, don't torture your hands like that and if you use a pad like the NES do not do it!!! You will end up with Nintendo finger like I did... lol (At least it hasn't seemed to effect me in any really bad way that I can tell, now if I get bad arthritis in just those 2 fingers I might complain a little)
I don't get the love affair with Indian tech support companies have, I have heard customer after customer tell me they would rather wait 3 hours on hold and get some one who has no accent and possibly knows how to help them. (I say possibly because some of the people I worked with where pretty bad too.... although the worst of them was probably better then most of the Indians...) I am not saying Indian's are dumb or stupid, I think they just got a crash course in a complicated field in a language that is not native to them. It all adds up to major problems.
On my first performance review I remember being shocked that one of the complaints they had about me was that I spent too little time on the phone per customer, I think my average was a little under 10 minutes...I understand that they made money per minute of me being on the phone from Dell but still... I tried to tell them that I am just that good and 90% of my phone calls involved something like "OK did you check the power cord?" Customer response "Ohhhh its unplugged... thats why its not working" lol nothing major and I was glad to help (I always tried to make them feel better by telling them that I myself have done the same thing and that it happens to everyone.)
lol Dell tech support in the states could be run so much cheaper then they do now.... Urge techs to solve problems quicker not spend more time on the phone (The customer is happy once they are up and running they really don't care about anything else) Make the notes less of a pain in the ass... (I hated having to type a bunch of crap in the system for a simple phone transfer... what a waste of everyones time and resources) Simple issue's should not require more then a drop down note in the system saying "Customer informational call" and nothing else needs to be put in the notes. I can only imagine the amount of ACW that would eliminate company wide lol
Some things do need lots of notes if you come up with a solution to an issue note the hell out of it so the system can put it in the Del solutions thing (been too long for me to remember what it was called, just a database of solutions lol)
Some of the notes from India gave me a headache trying to read what the techs there had done... I remember when I worked there literally waking up in the middle of the night from having nightmares about the horrors they did... (I am not joking)
Slashdot Mirror
They just needed to use neutron bombs on those Navi and mine the stuff in peace....
Damned blue people always getting in the way of progress, first it was the Smurfs and now these Navi things!
Nuke them from orbit, its the only way to be sure!
Rimmer is that you?
That would explain all those posts about Viagra and Canadian Pharmacies... damn hackers!!!
I would love it.... but alas I am more of a collector then a dev, my skills are laughable at best....

Or turn the brightness of your TV way up, (was probably easier back in the day since most TV's used knobs.)
At least thats how I did my cheating lol

That link probably explains it much better then I can.
Also they do not send bits, they send more then bytes, they send packets, or entire frames.

My cheap 9mm plinker is a HiPoint and it does not do what you describe. It's not a bad gun but its cheap so you get what you pay for.
Screw it I'm going to web 11.0!!! I want 3D Live Streaming Video Chat, 3D video games, 3D Pictures and 3D Porn!!!
lol Someday soon half of the crap I just posted will be true...

I hope they keep up the pace of developments like these, I would like to see some good pictures of planets outside our solar system in my lifetime...
Also consistently dominated by Nintendo.
NPD software sales for the top 10 for the first half of 2010.

Looks like a lot of people are actually buying games for the Wii and probably playing them.

Lolth will not be pleased that you have exposed her plans!!!

The plants that had bigger leaves may have been a response to the experiment.
I hear plants grow bigger leaves when they grow in shaded area's so maybe that was the difference.
Something about needing sunlight and competing with other tree's to get at the sunlight all that jazz.
Just switch to Nitrous Oxide!!!
