XP barely ever bluescreens, and it's XP embedded, which means its built into the motherboard (that's why it's called embedded), which means its not changeable, which means you'll never have to, or be able to reinstall it
why would an NT box that doesn't have an internet connection require security patches? a computer not connected to the internet is infinitly safer than any PC that is (including linux)
The blue screen of death texture in the multiplayer video (its when he's talking about the gae opening and enemies driving through, the switch turns to this texture)
If they make the icons big enough, switching weapons would be faster than the original controls. Plus the AI behaviour selector. Plus wireless 32 or even 16 players, and each player can have 4 Sims, ah drool. If PD:DS is a launch game, or anywhere near it, the PSP will be, well screwed. Lets just hope they add a few levels. after all, the N64 one was 32 megs, the DS can have up to 128. Why not throw a level editor in just to be safe, or even every Goldeneye level while you're at it.
that link didnt say nintendo sactioned it. And I still don't beleive that pic as Ive made one just like it, only using legend of zelda OOT and a screen from the 2D OOT someone is making
The article wasn't from nintendo, I tend not to beleive things they havent announced yet. Reading the article is irrelevant, and I have read it. They didnt even have a larger pic that what I saw there, hence it could've been photoshopped quite easily
Of course, the obligatory 'you disagree with me so you're flaming' so in the middle of an FPS, your going to 1) let go of the controls 2) grab a stylus 3) then play with the screen 4) then put the stylus back in its hole 5) then go back to the controls? no. most will simply touch the screen. Next time, dont assume a disagreement is a flame. It was a logical assesment
Enjoy fiddling with that touch screen (Which will be covered in grease/finger prints, try it, touch your GBA screen) While I'm shooting you up in Perfect Dark DS (if it's a launch game, it already has a killer app)
Oh, no need to get so testy (its a TOUCH SCREEN, A TOUCH SCREEN!)
you're obviously a nintendo fan boy. 1) Backwards compatablity was not announced, in fact, they've announced it probably wont have it. 2) Innovative design my aunt fanny, they've been using the game&watch design for decades.
You have made sound points, 1) Optical for a portable is going to be kind of difficult given current shock protection doesn't really work (it caches large amounts of the disc) when the RAM already has data in it. Who knows, PSP's disc casing might prevent shocks. 2) If Nintendo bites the bullet and brings it out at $100 USD I'll buy it launch day. 3) Nintendo never liked third parties
since it has a clamshell design, they dont have to worry about a joystick breaking as much. BUT, the dube/n64 controllers joysticks break extremely easily, unless they eat crow and finally use one from a dual shock or dreamcast controller, they'd have to make the joystick removable/replaceable
actually, you can find articles on IGN somewhere on how he personally designed the Cube's controller, and given the eccentricities of the cube itself, he probably designed it's casing too
last time i checked, imperial was based off crap like the length of a king arm. yeah, thats a useful scale. so 1760 is easier to remember than 1000? and I said some odd referring to a number i didnt know, not an odd number

dump xp? for what, linux? Doesnt that defeat the purpose of making it a games system?
Found it
Thats the one I have. Don't you just love it? What does dscaler do? remove those odd scanlines? I cant seem to find it on hauppauges site anymore
You forget this is Slashdot, where half the articles posted are simply childish jabs at Microsoft
SNES9x runs fine on a 133, what PC are you using that cant emulate a SNES?
Buy a better TV card, my hauppauge one works in real time
I did, till I re-read. I was like, wtf is Bill doing here? (no comments on the US president please)
they exist? this isnt like you guys saying "Windows lovers exist?" as windows has genuine benefits, DCMA has no benefits to the consumer at all
maybe, human error and bad construction caused it to crash though, so if it did run NT you couldn't blame NT

sorry troll, NT (in this case being XP or 2K since everyone's been saying NT does have USB support) is quite stable

the gba has 256kilobytes of ram. I beleive GP32 has a gba emulator and its less powerful than the DS

The article was not a press release by nintendo, I'd prefer to wait for what they say specifically.

You just named every single one of cubes non-kiddy games. Not setting a good example are we?
