  2. Re:Boot CD? on Amateurs Pushing the Dreamcast's Boundaries · · Score: 1

    well the game was only like 90-95% done before they axed it and brought it to the ps2(i guess it was still considered a beta program, hence the crashing every 10 minutes or so and the framerate issues, but even the pc version when it first came out had some terrible load times).

    It did so well because blue shift was going to be a dreamcast only feature. It gave people something to look forward to and another reason to buy it. but sega killed the system before it was finished...and it went to ps2, minus blue shift. but with 10 co-op levels(which were pretty good).

  4. Re:Are there really that many? on The Blues for LEDs · · Score: 1

    sorry..i do :P

    i got 4 blue led fans in this pc, and the fan controller (4 knob controller) has 4 blue leds when its turn on.

    and my mouse has an annoying blue scroll wheel

    xbox also.

    i guess its not as much...but its blue by my choice

  5. Re:USB card ? on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have an ATI USB TV tuner/capture device (usb tv wonder).
    and I have to say..its awful.

    I got a decent machine (p4 2.8GHz HT, 512 MB DDR400, and a 120 gig hdd) and it drops an insane ammount of frames.
    I have even tried speed disking the drive before capping.

    Also the resolution isnt that good..it maxes at 320x200, while a rage 3d pro i had didnt drop many frames (maybe 10 for each 10 minutes while the ati does about 150 every minute!) and it capped at 700+ res

    hope this helps

  6. Re:serenity now on King of Fighters Censored for Stateside Release · · Score: 1

    I dont think the neo-geo version is censored..but i could be wrong.

    I'm saying this because neo-geo games are $300+ (look up some games if you dont beleive me)
    there is no way neo kids (and i know a few, they are hardcore gamers and are in a great enough number to harass the companies to make them change a product) would put up with a censored game after putting up all that money.

    I could be wrong again, but i think playmore did the ps2 release and agetek should have done the neo release since they do most neo games already (and most SNK guys went to agetek after they broke up)

    again i could be wrong, so please dont flame me, this is what i've been told and believe to be true

  7. Re:Simple solution, DON'T BUY IT! on King of Fighters Censored for Stateside Release · · Score: 1

    well...since only the hardest of hardcore gamers still play snk 2d fighters. unfortinatly it wont sell well anyways :(

    i know when i go out today im going to pick up a copy, and love every second of it :)

    But i also have a copy of the japanese version.
    I really hope they didnt change the intro song.

    from what I heard, The SNK Japan team all went to Agetek, or most of them.

    I believe the proper term is first person exploration, I heard my friend touting that phrase when he was playing, and it really holds true. I havn't seen many area that are run and gun. :)

  11. Re:DVD Movie bit-by-bit copy? on HP DVD100i DVD+RW Burner Tested · · Score: 1

    depends on hte movie.
    if the drive is a 4.5 gig version...then all it can fit is 4.5 gig of vob files(roughly an hour and a half video). or u can always downsample and recreate the dvd(SVCD comes to mind)
    A 4.5 gig svcd can reach some pretty high bitrates(probably up to the max of 2.5 Mb a sec, which would look pretty damn nice, along with high quality sound(unfortinatly cant be higher than 44.1KHz, svcd standard)

    so, if the movie is short(Pi comes to mind), then it can be done
    but if ur thinking of doing a bit to bit with pearl harbor.....think again

  12. Re:Excruciatingly Unconvincing on The Pledge · · Score: 1

    This movie was horrible, It left me wanting my money back(but the theatre owners wouldn't budge). The ending didn't solve a thing(I couldn't really pay attention it was so bad), it left me wondering who killed the little girl. But tell me something, was the snow plow guy(with the big bushy beird, the minister also, I think someone in the movie said that, but they look nothing alike). It was too cunfusing for me.
