Yet their strength and their speed, are still based on a world built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong, or as fast, as you can be.
Rumor has it that Zelda will be a Revolution launch game. I think it would be in Nintendo's best interest to have Mario + Zelda as launch titles. The Cube suffered precisely because of this.
You can do that now. There are tools that rip a DVD and convert it into the correct video format. You then store the movie on a Memory Stick and watch it on the PSP.
I highly doubt they'll offer a UMD burner, but if you have a Memory Stick you can watch all the movies you want.
You don't need a subscription to PSO. I bought it used and have never be on their servers once. It is a rather rare game so expect to pay $40 for it used. The BBA can be found for as low as $20 new, probably a lot cheaper used on eBay.
SD Memory adapter can be constructed with the correct parts and a bit of hardware knowledge. Total parts shouldn't exceed $10. SD cards obviously range in price based on their size. Action Replay goes new for about $30 but again eBay could probably be used for a better deal.
So in the end you're looking at about $50 or so as an additional investment. The cube is $99 so it's not too bad in the long run. For XBox hacking you need the $149 XBox + $50 mod chip so the price for homebrew is comparable.
Please visit my site for Gamecube programming information. It includes information on gc-linux as well as general Gamecube programming. I also have links that describe how to build a cross-compiler.
I am part of the development team working on this goal and we are almost there. We have hardware guys who are working on creating an IDE interface and perhaps even USB interfaces which would open up a world of endless peripherals. I am doing a lot of kernel driver work to get these devices supported.
We have Linux with full networking/sound/3D support. The only thing we have yet to complete is external storage. I will be receiving an SD card HW interface in the mail within a week so I will write a kernel driver for that. If you want to keep up with the development, head to gc-linux.org or join #gc-linux on irc.oftc.net
It actually does. Would you not agree that a kernel needs to be more stable than userland applications? If a kernel had the same amount of bugs as a typical userland application, I highly doubt anybody would be using that kernel. It may be OK for Winword to crash on occasion but if Windows or Linux goes down and takes my entire system with it, I would not be a happy customer.
Clearly both the XP and Linux kernel will have lower bug counts than all the userland apps that go on top of it. After years of laughter, MS has a really solid kernel these days.
No. IEEE has a specification for floating point. 32 bit is 'standard' and equates to your float type. 64 bits is the standard double type. There is also an 80 bit standard for long double. Apparently SSE2 includes some instructions for 128-bit float point operations. Since AMD64 supports SSE2, it can use them. But so can 32 bit processors with SSE2 support.
64 bit processors don't have extra floating point accuracy. Processors today already have 64 bit floating point (double) support. When people say N-bit processor, they are talking about the size of the general registers and not the floating registers.
There's no way in hell I would give such a high quality toy to a child. The 20th Anniversary Prime is so masterful is many ways, it would be a waste to have a child shred it. A better suggestion would be to get him the 1984 remake of Optimus Prime! Just like we used to have (and cheaper too).
Well duh they couldn't make FFVII for the N64. FFVII was 3 CD's and packed with videos. You just can't fit all that data onto an N64 ROM. That's the reason Square abandoned them. The N64 owned the PSX in just about every technical aspect: except ROM storage space.
A lot of people from a lot of universities are probably working on the same idea. There just happens to be an article about the professors at Lehigh.
I took some classes from Professor Heflin; he's a very bright guy. As for the semantic web, I don't think it will catch on. When you write your web pages you have to follow a strict schema and add all this metadata to each page for it be 'correct'. Most users could give two shits about this metadata and you'll still have chaos in the web.
They also had a potential warp core breach about every four episodes. I mean if they can't keep it safe in Stardate 47988, how are we supposed to keep it safe in Stardate -319758.35?
I think you'll find that the Gameboy IS Nintendo's bread and butter these days. Please see this article for a review of the numbers. Please note that these numbers are 6 months old. You'll clearly see that the Gameboy outsells the Cube 3 to 1.
Just because you don't see people roaming the streets playing the GBA frantically doesn't mean they're not out there. Most people play them at home for convenience.
Wait until the homebrew scene gets a hold of it. In a short time you'll see NES/SNES emulators on it in addition to other emulators of the 16-bit era.
The system might get some N64 ports but it won't be powerful enough to emulate them directly (maybe some dynamic recompilation would do the trick however).

5 AM is a tad extreme I have to agree. But on the really long days like June 21st, the sun stays out until 8!
The part I REALLY hate is the sun going down at 5-5:30 in the Winter. Now that is depressing.
Pray tell where you became privy to this FF6 DS release information?
I believe FFIII will be released for DS, NOT FF6.
Fill in the blanks. The Cube suffered because of the lack of a Mario launch title.
Rumor has it that Zelda will be a Revolution launch game. I think it would be in Nintendo's best interest to have Mario + Zelda as launch titles. The Cube suffered precisely because of this.

Dear god man, think of the Mormons!

By their very nature they can't go beyond the rules of the game they're based on.
Yeah you can. Morpheus says so.
The game will never be as smart or as fast as you.
it doesn't matter what the code does

I do.
I wrote a 3D Linux kernel driver for it. You should check it out.
64 bit processors don't have extra floating point accuracy. Processors today already have 64 bit floating point (double) support. When people say N-bit processor, they are talking about the size of the general registers and not the floating registers.
Can you believe how he found the warp whistle on his first play-through?? Man that was amazing!!!!!

Doomed like the Gameboy which DOMINATES the handheld market? I don't see a changing of the guard anytime soon.
Looks like somebody has read the latest Maxim. In case nobody understands this, this joke is posted in the latest US Maxim.
Ah yes this is Professor Frink, floygan.
