It (should) say that it can't find the CD, so you won't have full scenery, and only have yoke for 6 minutes. This is from my experience with 7.61/Win32, mind you, but it SHOULD be the same in 8.00B13/Linux-x86.
All PPros except the 200 were only in 256K L2 variants. The 200 was available in 256, 512, and 1M variants (from what I heard, the 1M ran VERY hot, but also very fast).
As long as you have 64MB RAM for setup (the installer checks RAM), and 18MB for running (nobody's tried 17MB, though), XP will run on something as low-end as a Pentium underclocked to 20MHz (that includes Overdrives, which is how the 18MB thing was done).
It is using a bunch of NES ROMs, but it's using the NES-on-a-Chip, not an emulator. The NOAC is a chip that performs all of the functions of the NES chipset.
How likely would that actually BE? It's well known that these things have NES-on-a-Chips (NT6578). The only processors that I would think would actually explode from overheating are Athlons and Pentium 4s w/o heat throttling.
Nitpick - it's as emulated as your Pentium 4 or Athlon 64 is emulating an x86 (actually, less - the P4 and A64 translate their instructions to RISC, but they do it in hardware). This is in hardware - it's a single chip with a 6502 and all of the stuff in the NES.
Well, if something says "76000 in 1", divide by 1000 to get the actual number. If you do get one, from what I've heard, don't play games above 76, because the mods made to them make it buggy.
Basically, you can believe any number below about 150, so divide by 10 until you get to a reasonable number.
Same difference, as ProDOS 16 requires an Apple II. The only Apple II with a 65816 was the IIgs. I guess I should've said ProDOS 16 (which GS/OS is based on, it's just got a GUI added).
http://epowerplayer.com/ sells them for $40 + $5 S&H. This isn't a review, mind you, but I've played with ones of the same brand (that would cost $75 to buy where I played with them), and they were playable, but with major UI quirks (press the wrong button, and BAM, you're out of your game). The controllers weren't TOO chintzy. The gun wasn't easy to aim properly (although I was playing on a flatscreen CRT, which might throw it off)...
The PS1 controllers worked fine with Need for Speed: Underground, which uses the pressure sensitivity. I was killing my thumbs on NFS:U with a PS2 Dual Shock, so I grabbed a simple PS1 full digital controller, plugged it in, and went. No, I couldn't do partial presses of the button to smoothly control my throttle. However, in that game, it's either tap the brakes and floor the gas, or just floor the gas...
No, it's not an emulator. The menus on those things are straight 6502 (or whatever the hell variant the NES used - same difference anyway) code. They use something called a "NES-on-a-chip". Part numbers I've heard are "NMOS 6582" (used in the Game Axe line), and the "NT6578" (used in at least those NES to SNES adaptors, and most likely everything with a blob-like chip for a CPU). It's a complete NES chipset on ONE chip.
http://www.classicgaming.com/vcsp/ has a NES portable based on one of these. Yes, they're all quite shady. Many come with a lightgun. They're based on a NES-on-a-chip (yes, there's actually a chip that does everything that every chip in the original NES does). Some have (Famicom) cartridge ports (if you want to run US carts, get an adaptor - http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=159&prod ucts_id=171 is one that I've heard is good), and if not, there's always wiring a US cartridge port to the board and giving 5V to the ROM chip (which appears to be how to do it if there IS a cart port, but no cart).
For a real AV app, run ClamAV. It's meant for mailservers, but it'll run. As for anti-spyware, they actually want RUNNING, or just installed? If it needs to be running, try running Ad-Aware Plus on WINE or Xover.
I thought that the BSOD got that name from Windows NT, where it was always a fatal error, and they happened fairly often back in those days. On Win9x, it's sometimes possible to recover from a BSOD (in fact, a VxD could throw a BSOD telling you to go fuck yourself, and to press enter to continue, and Windows wouldn't have any problems). In Windows 3.1, throwing a BSOD was normal behavior when the three-finger salute was used.

Sharp, Tandy, and (IIRC) Casio also made BASIC calculators...

Yeah, but Meijer is only in a few states. Ohio's Meijer's aren't quite as big as our newer Wal-Mart SuperCenters.
256K L2, for future reference.

Dual PPros? How fast, and if it's 200MHz, how much cache?

Ah, but the goal of an editor is to edit. samzenpus didn't edit.
I fully understand that it was a joke. I was just wondering whether that was possible with hardware like that...
The popular vote was screwed up because it discouraged third-party votes, which would mean we might actually have a choice.

IIRC, Sega hasn't sued knockoff controller makers before, and it's not a modded Genesis controller, it's a knockoff.

If you want one, and you can't find one cheap (or at all), epowerplayer.com (from someone's rat out to Nintendo e-mail) has them for $40 + $5 S&H.
$80 is ridiculous, $65 only if the ROM is in a Famicart in the controller (no hacking, then).
You know, with something called a "Family Convertor", you can use US carts in a Asian Famic(om|lone).
YES... NFS:U is a PAIN on the thumbs, but the place I was at had a PS1 and controllers, so I grabbed one and took it to the PS2...
