  1. eBay on And The Winner Is... Nobody! · · Score: 1

    Well that didn't take long...

  2. Commercials in MD on Can the BSA Investigate Your office for Piracy? · · Score: 1
    They've been airing the BSA Truce commercial all over the place in MD. I managed to catch it on videotape, I'll mp3 it tonight and follow-up to this comment.

    "One phone call can start an investigation."

    "Unlicensed software: a costly mistake."

  3. Re:PCs can read Dreamcast GD-ROMs on Sega to develop Dreamcast PCI Card · · Score: 1

    A GDROM contains two sessions, a low density and a high density one (look at the disc) and your PC was reading the low density session. Sonic Adventure uses SegaOS, not WinCE. The game data resides in the second session, which is not accessible to standard CDROM drives without doing firmware hacks.

  4. Dreamcast and PPP on Using Linux To Get Your Dreamcast Online · · Score: 1

    If you've used pppd in the past, it's a no-brainer. I was doing this with a FreeBSD box when I got my DC a little over a year ago. Just get the modems to connect (blind dial on the DC, ATA on the PC), and start pppd on the serial port. Not very fast, but it's the best we have until the DC LAN adapter gets to the US in January.

  5. Re:Y this wont happen on Sega to develop Dreamcast PCI Card · · Score: 1

    Saturn games checked the ring text before allowing a program to boot, but surprisingly enough, Dreamcast does not. Thus, you can boot an unmodded DC from the second session of a standard run-of-the-mill CDR. (For now, at least. Sega has announced on the dcdev list that a CDR-disabled version of the DC will be pushed into production in a few months.)

  6. Re:Sega Consoles on Sega to Shifts Focus To Software · · Score: 1

    The quote you refer to was taken way out of context. Sega is hard at work on their next console (likely to be based on some of Sega's new Naomi II arcade technology) as we speak.

  7. Re:um.. HELLO? on Is the PS/2 A Disappointment? · · Score: 2

    Hmm, looks like you've got Ridge Racer for PS2 vs. Shotouko Battle for DC. If anyone's interested, I just happen to have a few more screenshots of shotouko battle 2 lying around. Nice game, stays at about 60fps unless there's a ton of cars on screen, which usually never happens when you're racing fast enough.

  8. Re:Personally... on Playstation II Launch Notes From the Field · · Score: 2
    Games always suck at a console's launch. It's a historical fact

    Just remember, Soul Calibur was a Dreamcast launch title.

  9. Sega's new ad on Sony Playstation 2 for Over $1k [Updated -- $5K] · · Score: 1

    You've probably seen this already, but Sega's marketing department has got it's attitude back and is taking advantage of the PSX2 crunch.

  10. PSX2 Shortage on The PS2 - A Betamax In the Making? · · Score: 1

    "Building demand" or not, you can be sure Sega is having a field day.

  11. cool, more LEDs! on Lighting The Future: Lasers And (Wild) LEDs · · Score: 1

    My blue-LED Dreamcast is running scared, as we speak.

  13. the 800 number on Broke into the old Quickies · · Score: 1

    Someone on SlashNET brought up the 800 number thing a few days ago. MP3 is here for the telephonically impaired, or something.

  14. Ahh, Super Mario. on NESs 15th Anniversary · · Score: 1
    Try as you might, you'll never beat World 9 in Mario 2.

    And I'm not talking about the fake Mario 2 that the US got, either.

  15. What you REALLY want to be mirroring.. on 42 ways to Distribute DeCSS · · Score: 4
    Be sure to mirror DeCSSPlus as well! The old DeCSS code will not work on newer DVDs since they use hard-coded keys. DeCSSPlus will brute-force all the keys on the disc, and is immune to any further key-pulling antics. You may still need the old DeCSS to authenticate to and unlock the drive. Or so I've been told.. .. ..

  16. Re:164 Questions ? on Slashnet Forum Chat Log · · Score: 1

    I know, I know.. I was a quick grep and I miscounted. I was doing some of the question moderating and did a few /lastlog commands on certain keywords during the forum to see if there were any duplicate questions being asked. The /lastlog results wound up being added to my log and, thus, in the quick count as well.

    netscp6.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".

    Click on OK to terminate the program
    Click on CANCEL to debug the program

    Happened while dropping down "alt" in the news reader in WinNT. Still, all in all, Netscape 6 PR3 is much better than 4.75.

  21. Re:Linux running on Dreamcast on Emugaming Responds To Sega's Threats · · Score: 1

    NetBSD has been running on Dreamcast for a few months now. Of course there's no root drive to mount.. yet..

  22. user data on Privacy Concerns and The CueCat · · Score: 2
    DigitalDemographics has info on how DigitalConvergence plans to use the transmitted data.

    It gets worse.. If any of his friends take it out of his closet after October 28th, DC can sue them for anti-circumvention under the DMCA.

    You can do all of that with FlasKMPEG. Under Windows, at least.

  25. Fake. on Sega Giving Stock To Stop ISO Pirates? · · Score: 1

    It's Kalisto's exit strategy. Just like the still-unproven rumors of Utopia getting busted by Sega.
