  1. Geeks need toys, women, bad food, books.. COLLEGE! on Do Geeks Need College? · · Score: 1

    True, I will be a liar if I say I haven't benefited from a few electronics classes, but mostly the classes that have benefited me are the non technological classes, like European Medival History, I enjoyed the class, but if not for college, I dobut I do pick up a book and read on that.

  2. men with small pen#s,code in asm when not needed. on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 1

    you are dumb, I have coded in lots of asm, x86, mips, sparc, motorola, z80, and so on and so forth. and anyone in their right mind knows C is better when it gets the job done. asm is only needed for tight fast loops, and in cases when memory and cpu are small. a good C program will destroy a bad asm programmer, the truth is that C compilers now, can do a darn good job of translating C to asm, and the truth is that there are not many good asm programs. And another truth is that they probalby don't want to make it obvious that the src is dirty, so if it is all asm, it becomes hard to analyze.

    Hahah, if he released the source, then who will buy it? Bahaha, if you are in need of a psx emu for linux. Go code one.

  4. Sony wants PSX to last. on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 1

    SONY wants the PSX base to last, that is why PSX2 is backward compatible with PSX. Hell, if the NES could have lasted, Nintendo would have loved it.

  5. Good! Gooder! on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 1

    I am for emulations when the hardware doesn't exist anymore or is very scarce. But I disagree with making exception, cuz then, who is to say? who is to draw the lines. Hrm, linux could use a good PSX emulator to draw some people over, but ahem, that is piracy, so I am not coding any, but if you buy me a SMP system , ahem, ;)

    Duh, just a phrase, trying to state that a lot of people have their psx modded. My grandma is seven feet under.

  7. This is not good. on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 1

    I am talking about video game emulators! not an emulator, like amiga or commordore, I will prefer to run OS on real hardware.
    The source is not clean, I am a psx underground coder, and some guys (few) did the main work on reversing psx, and it was after these guys released their infos for free, that all these PSX emulators started flowing. Duh, is bleem in their right mind going to say that their code is dirty? of course not. But they are the biggest liars if they claim, they didn't get infos off the net, the MDEC, the GPU, the SPU, no easy shit to reverse. took lots of work to get done.
    We are not seeing a PSX2 soon, go and check the specs, we can see a PSX2 simulator, like ultrahle for n64, ultrahle is not an emulator, it simulates with wrappers, write an asm code for n64, run it on ultrahle and it dies. Go see the specs on PSX2. Nothing is uncrackable. It will only take a few minutes to hex it if you have some taco bell, and a few hours if you are drunk.

  8. This is not good. on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 1

    There is nothing wrong with a wrapper, almost, but an actually emulation that is being sold is wrong,the technique used by ultrahle is using wrappers when it cannot emulate, the good thing about this, is that only a few games can be played, not all games, just piracy level is low. But still, there is still piracy, which sucks, I am for people coding emulator for fun, but not for selling it, when we code emulators, companies can't target individuals, cuz we are not out to make money on them, but merely coding for the fun and challege.
    but when it is sold, it makes like hard for underground developers. When this Bleem crap does come out, I will make sure it is free on my website. No one should pay for it. if they are going to make my favorite console company lose money, they can count on not making any.

  9. This is not good - oh yes it is...No it is not! on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 1

    Console makes lose money @ first when a console is launched because they have to sell it cheap, and memory is expensive, through the years, memory price falls, and they begin to make the money. The EMU will not sell more games!!! it will only make more people buy a CDR and start playing games on PC. The Bleem people did steal reverse all this crap themselves. I have done some PSX dev underground, and everyone knows the main guys who did the work on PSX and reversed the info. sure the guys posted the infos up for free, so others can learn, SONY knew about the PSX underground development, but really didn't care, because we were not making emulators. just coding for the console. But with this, their next plan, will be to bully underground developers, if they can stop us from releasing info on their console, then they make the job harder for dumb like companies like Bleem to release emu. Thus, my been against Bleem.

  10. Ummm, this stuff is so lame, not worth arguing. on "Hackers" Really are Anti-Social Geeks · · Score: 1

    Bleh, we know better, so why argue about it?
    Please, I need the bandwitches today, so don't argue this crap, it has been written over and over again. who cares. skrew them. my grandma is a hacker, she is 82, black, social, from a functional family. Oh!, they were talking about the average... okay , okay. blah.

  11. Geeks need toys, women, bad food, books.. COLLEGE! on Do Geeks Need College? · · Score: 1

    I have been in college for 3 years, I think I am still a freshman, or whatever that comes after it.
    I have a 1.0 GPA. like D or something. I am not in college to get a degree or whatever. College gives free internet access, if you live there, you get ethernet. I get access to huge labs, with lots of computers, *drool*, now I can build my own cluster with those 200 200mhz computers at 1am while no1 is using the lab. Books! You want books?! College Libraries! Lots of books, and journals. Bad food, taco, subsandwitches ...., things that college provide. and yes, even women!
    Uh oh, so you see, College is good! Expensive equipments are also another good use, here is an example, SONY releases PSX2, we need to hack it, we want to be the first geeks to make modchip2, so we need a data analyzer, where duh hell will you get one? You go to electronics shop, and borrow their $5,000 logic analyzer and oscopes, You have always wanted to design your CPU and stuff, but can't right? You take that lame CPU design class, just to get your own CPU built.
    College costs me, but it is worth it, the books, the equipment, the net access, the shelter(library and labs), the somewhat "Social lifes", running into other geeks, makes it worthwhile for me. Money is not everything, I am living to have fun.

  14. Sue microsoft for making the OS that ran the games on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft has made a much slower OS, perhaps we would just be playing pacman, ahem, but the OS is fast, well cuz the CPU is fast, *cough*, so lets sue Microsoft and Intel too! This is crap, if this kid watched movies, I doubt those movies were rated pg13, this kid is 14 years old, he did not watch those movies over night. His parents should be sued for not regulating what their child saw, he should not be watching R movies, blockbuster should be sued for renting him out videos, Cinemas should be sued, for not providing enough security at the theater thus enabling him to sneak in and see those movies. The people engaged in violence sex acts who's pictures appeared should be sued too. We should sue those guys who made the internet, if only they had designed it for 18 years and older. I guess one day, the internet will have a rating system? This site is rated PG13, this sited is rated R. F, what the Fis going on? I would have remorsed and wept for those parents who's kids were killed, but with such an action, I think they should go to hell, ne? I think the government should be sued too, for promoting the internet, if the government did not promote the net, perhaps it will not have grown like this, thus less porn sites?! Maybe it was me from IRC who told him to go kill those kids, heck, I should be sued.

  16. This is not good. on Playstation Emulator Will Ship · · Score: 2

    I support emulation, but I don't support selling an emulator, if an emulation offers as much support as a hardware, who in their right mind will buy the hardware, thus SONY is losing. Emulators, especially consoles are coded with information from underground, and some of these information come to the underground, from pro dev who broke their NDA. thus this emulators is not 100% clean from original SONY information. On the other hand, it is easy for SONY to make emualtors 500 times harder to code, and I think they have done that with the PSX2, no one is seeing a working emulator for PSX2 in the next 7 years, unless an angry employeed releases the ASIC design for the CPU. In anycase, Bleem claims that their emulator will only run original CD, but that is crap, it will only take a few minutes to hex it to run gold, thus as far as I see it, This is nothing more but for the warez pups. even my grandma has her psx modded.
