Is it possible this was going to be for a built in System card?

[Off-Topic / Re: Worst movies you've ever seen?]

Mad Max Fury Road, I don't even know we're to start. First they nuetured Mad Max. He didn't even need to be in the movie other than to say, "Woman can't do stuff they need a man." Furiosa was actually an okay character. If the movie was juat a spin off of her in the Mad Max universe it might have been better. She was kind of kick ass. Mad Max was just a pussy.

Yeah, it looked like the Mad Max movies, but wasn't as dark in it's message at all.  There was stuff that was lame/cheesy like the flame thrower guitar guy. I was looking around the theatre like is this for real? So cheesy. That and the entire second movie is about how precious fuel is and so many people die for it. Fuel is more precious than any anything like gold or even life, yet this guys in Fury Road is just flame thrower-ing fuel all over.

That and it's a 2 hour car chase!  I love great car chase scenes, but I was okay, when is the movie going to start for like an hour before I gave up and realized the car chase never ends.

The first Mad Max when his wife and son die it's brutal. Mad Max is a hard core badass surviver. The original movies are like I said dark and appocolylic in more than just what you see on screen.  Fury Road was just another Hollywood, well we can't think of anything  original ourselves and we have a 1/4 billion dollars to spend. Let's make some Mad Max cars!!

[Off-Topic / Re: Worst movies you've ever seen?]

Mad Max Fury Road, just fucking awful.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ripping and writing Turbo CD titles - Help]

The old cdrwin (think it was cdrwin) burns the whole CD to a single complete ISO.  So you end up with one large ISO and a CUE file. I think it only ran on Win98 though so I had to set up a VM run it or I would get aspi driver errors.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ripping and writing Turbo CD titles - Help]

Ok, so my Turbo CD & Duo are both acting up, & I recently discovered the magic of hacking a Wii.  However, WiiMednafen only seems to work with bin files.  However, I can't seem to make any.  Any version of CDRWin I get, doesn't seem to work, I've been Googling like crazy looking for other programs that do bin files(most don't).  I can rip most cd games that are Japanese with TurboRip(most US games aren't ripping for some reason), but it's in the ISO/WAV format, & I don't see a way to rip them in BIN format, so, I'm stuck & pulling my hair out.  I thought it would be easy peasey to just rip my games & play em' on my Wii....such is not the case......  Can anyone else a brother out?

I got this working once. I think I used an old version of cdrwin (on win98 through emulation). It output an ISO. I simply renamed the .iso to .bin and I think that was all that was needed to get it to work on the Wii.

Hahahhahahajja.

Pet Shop Boys
Hany in the Sky
Kid Dracula
Batman
...and I forget the last one (I watched it 24 hours ago).

I am actually glad he didn't cover the usual games, but he should have used that as his selling point!

5 totally random games...

The other was Cross Wiber. Best if the 5. Love that game.

I'd just merge the discussion topics really, but keep the sales topics seperate. I would think usually people are looking for region specific hardware so keeping that seperate might be convenient,  but as far as discussion I don't think people are looking to only "talk" about one system, it's more general NEC console discussions.

[Off-Topic / Re: Upgrading a "Rooted" Android Tablet Forcibly - Anybody with experience on this?]

I've never seen or heard of a generic Android distro unfortunately. Not like a Windows install for example, where it would sort of install on any given generic device and then install the drivers for your particular device.

I've seen "sort of generic" distros. But they are still for a somewhat specific manufacturer.  Like a certain brand of Chinese tablets where they used several different parts over time.  So when you goto install the 'Generic Distro' for that brand, you have to install it while trying a whole bunch of options. So maybe they used 4 different types of touch screens, 3 different types of wireless, 2 different sound chips, 2 different CPU generations. So you have to install trying Touch Screen type A.  If it fails re-install try Touch Screen type B, if it fails try Touch Screen type C, and so on. Once the Touch screen works, you have to re-install, testing which each wi-fi type they included in the distro, and sound drivers, etc and it becomes a guessing game. 

But you still need a fairly specific distro for that situation.

Otherwise you have to build the distro for your device as far as I know if someone else hasn't done it already. That I have no idea. I have a challenge just getting the pre-done distros installed

As far as bricking, that is probably always a risk. In my experience, the risk there is when you are installing the bootloader.  Once you have the bootloader you are typically safe most of the time I believe. However if you don't have a way to install the original Androind OS that came on the device and the distros you try don't work, well then, you can pretty much consider it a brick at that point as you won't have an OS on it all of course.

Does your tablet have any branding on it at all?  Or model or serial numbers? Or when you go into the About Tablet/Phone in the settings does it give you any information?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: Turbo EverDrive FULLY LOADED!!]

Awesome Bernie. Would love to win this for the kids. Add me if I qualify. 

Think I will throw together a couple raffles here in a bit in the spirit of this amazing-ness!

[Off-Topic / Re: Upgrading a "Rooted" Android Tablet Forcibly - Anybody with experience on this?]

Yeah, I have done this on my tablet (old Nook Color) and my phone as well which is running KitKat now.

It really depends on the device. 

Step 1. You may have to root it. You may not.

Step 2. You may have to install a bootloader or you may not.

Step 3. Software is 2 parts. KitKat (CM11) version. This will be a specific Download for your exact device and then something called GAPPS - this is a generic download (zip file). GAPPS is basically generic "Google Apps" I believe stuff like the Keyboard, Play Store, and a lot of essential stuff you need. There is  a GAPPS for Android 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.  So if you are installing KitKat you would get the GAPPS zip file for 4.4 (CM11 ie KitKat) as if you try to use GAPPS for 4.2 it won't work.  Basically they just separated GAPPS from the actual specific version of KitKat for your device.  So again, to make long story long you will basically have 2 files.

You just need to have the 2 correct files, the correct version of KitKat for your device and then the correct generic GAPPS zip.  The bootloader usually will automagically take care of installing both.



Best place to start is:  http://forum.xda-developers.com/


For my Nook it is dead simple. No root necessary.  There is a DL that formats an SD card for you on your PC.   Basically you just put the Nook version of Android plus GAPPS zip in the root directory and the Nook boots from the SD card and ask if you want to install. 

For my phone I had to root it.  I had to find some files to put on SD that rooted it.  Then I had to install a boot loader.  Then basically same thing as my Nook, copy KitKat version for my phone and GAPPS zip to root of an zip card and the bootloader installed everything.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: TG16/PCE converter]

I've been thinking of something like this for a while:
http://zepsus.com/product/magnetic-switch-7a/

You would still have to do region mod inside, but then you would not have to mod the outside at all. So no cutting the case for a "switch" basically.

You could mount this under the logo for example on your PCE.  Then when you move a magnet above it you switch to Turbo mode, swipe again to move back to PCE.   

You could get pretty fancy too, where you had an led light hooked up inside, so you could see a glow coming out from the HuCard slot or something, red for PCE and another color for Turbo. 

So it's sort of a "No Mod" solution. At least from the outside.

[General Gaming / Re: Hudson Selection Vol.3 PS2]

lool..fugliest bonk ever made 

Agreed. It's bad. Looks like someone went overboard with the Photoshop apply texture.  That and the graphics don't match each other. Some are pseudo 3D like the smilies you collect, and then in the menu bar at the top the Smiley counter is a 2d hand drown icon, while the background is suppose to look like one of those cloth type games?

It looks like many college project we did where everyone worked on there own parts then when we brought it together at the last minute nothing really matched, but at least we had something to turn in. 

Bonk turns into a monkey when eating meat?  I'm lost on this part. Do monkey's eat meat?  The boss actually looks pretty cool, but why does he throw Lollipops when he gets hit?

[Fighting Street / Re: gomegan2012: horrible eBay seller]

It happens sometimes.  I have actually gotten a letter posted to something mailed to me, that demanded postage due.  Saying not enough was used to mail it, but it somehow made it to me.....  WTF..  Needless to say, I didnt pay anything.  Situation is different, as it was delivered to my mailbox with no issues.  But, it isnt my damn fault some retard accepted a package on the other end, and now they want me to pay?  Nope.

It sounds like the negative feedback was left for the user never responding and so Lochlan really had no idea what actually happened and no explanation.  He didn't hear from the seller until after the fact.  Not responding or giving any explanation or looking into it is the sellers fault.  I'd leave the 2nd one for the verbal abuse.  That type of email is totally uncalled for and unprofessional. I'd want to know what type of seller this guy really is so I don't do business with him regardless of who's fault it was over something so small. That is beyond ridiculous.


@NightWolve

I'm guessing it is some sort of pre-paid box.  It would be like putting a 1lb bar of gold in a regular envelope and then putting a single 49 cent 1 oz stamp on it and dropping it in a mail box somewhere.  Though if you want to mail me one I would definitely pay the extra postage!

[Fighting Street / Re: gomegan2012: horrible eBay seller]

I mean he knows you have another item to leave feedback on, if he cared at all he would act professional and take care of this. Obviously he doesn't care.

I would leave negative for the other one too. If anything just as a courtesy so others know to beware.  But just state the facts.

I don't know how much space you have, but something like:

"Seller did not respond to several emails as item had never arrived. Later, I discovered extra postage was due and paid myself. In the end after leaving feedback because I had never received any response, seller started emailing afterword and was threatening and vulgar. Emailed me saying 'Burn in Hell', using terms such as 'Prick, 'Broke Joke', 'Loser", claimed I was 'Pathetic' and 'ate shit'. Seller likely is into Van Damn movies and kickboxing under his carport! Beware!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Amazing games that should have sucked.]

Power Eleven. Because I had just always felt that all soccer games sucked by default. And I'm saying that coming from the Amiga scene were I guess there were a lot of good soccer games, though I never played them for long enough as I just never ever could get into any they just were fun to me.

So by my definition Power Eleven should suck, but is one of favorite games.  It doesn't really even follow the rules (no offsides for example), but it is pretty fun a quick game and also for multi-player.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Bonk 3 Bonks Big Adventure]

I couldn't give you a price on it. But it's one of my favorite turbo games. I think mostly because of the multi-player action. A lot of little things you can do co-op to get extra lives and things like standing in each other heads and then jumping after the other to getting even even higher to reach places you other wise couldn't.  There are flowers that you can use to fly so one person has sit and the other head to fly around.

Then there is sort a option to teleport were other is, but this costs health, but can save you too. If you've played New Super Mario World on Wii it sort of like the bubble.

Just a lot of great multi-player stuff.
