Get direct connect search in google for DC++ then pm me and i'll give u sum hubs to get them.

Lylat wars isnt jerky anymore, it seems all games are near perfect so far with only minor menu graphics missing or in game background objects missing

The xbox pad works well, uses twin stick, although due to the analogue sticks its very hard to aim well as they are a lot looser than the n64 pad.

conkers bad fur day, this game really benefits from an higher rez, you can make out jokes and details now.

Erm, it's pretty easy to find whatever old game you want...

Really? Fantastic - then I'll have three copies of Money Puzzle Exchanger, two Kikikaikais and a paper bagful of Radiant Silverguns please.

I've only got £20, mind. That going to be a problem? :lol:

If its so easy to find games for sale, fine me Pokemon mini tetris, as ive looked everywhere for it with no luck, and that was only released a year ago. If you do find it for sale that ships to the uk i will ignore everything i wrote and agree with you :lol:

Pokemon Mini Tetris IIRC wasn't actually released in this country - it was only released in mainland europe.

Surely roms have a greater lifespan. If my PC got stolen lets say, I would have lost thousands and thousands of roms, but sooo many people out there have got them, they would not be difficult to replace. It would take some kick arse virus to wipe out every rom in existance. So I think its clear, roms will (and are) last forever.

(until the sun explodes I mean)

That's the real point.

Any individual digital copy on a CDR or HD of a game ROM is more fragile than the original physical ROM, as Trev explains, but, because the digital files are easily copyable, and are spread over thousands of HDs, CDRs etc all over the world, the chances of losing any of these emualted ROMs to posterity is now much lower than the chances of eventually losing all working ROM sets and PCBs.

Wasn't the internet itself designed as a computer information system which would be able to withstand nuclear attack, due to its distributed nature? Its this very distribution which will save the ROMs from the degredation of the hardware they were made for.

Back on topic.

Well I have found a nice bug. If for some reason the emulator hangs I am unable to reboot my box with the chip on. I have to load a game from disk with the chip off, then I am able to boot the box with the chip off. I'm guessing it's a cache problem as I have had similar problems with Halo and KOTOR before.

direct connect is the best way to find roms, u can download full sets there, like i say pm if u want hubs. or search yourself. Star fox is fine it seems, except you need to remap the controls as there is no boost or brake, unless its on the white or black buttons, didnt try them.

Mischief makers seems fine except not all the text appears in the speech making it hard to make out whats going on.

Conkers is fine except for some texture problems on conker himself and when he gets drunk vision (only seen in one bit of the game).

Mario kart 64 is fine, banjo kazooie/tooie from the demos seem fine. DK64 gets stuck in the intro but it might be fixed with another emu as i only tried 1964 with all these games. Body harvest only works on ultrahle, but doesnt have any controls so you cant play the game, 1080 seems perfect, fzerox like i said seems fine except for ship texture problems.

um i'll post more impressions as i download more games.

*EDIT* ISS98 works great too!

We could argue semantics all day but I just wanna say...

The internet's original function (from military to academic) is what you say but it's not designed for data replication or as a decentralised storage medium as such.

TBH though the tangent has gone off on an even bigger tangent simply on the suggestion that digital data isn't as persistant as is in reality.

That's simply what I've come to believe from college and 18 months working as a programmer since then. I'm not saying I'm right but I don't really think anyone can say with any certainty that I'm wrong.

The simple fact is that despite the potential to last forever I've seen media vanish, degrade etc FOREVER way too easily. The advent of the internet doesn't change the fact that eventually people will just stop replicating their data simply assuming someone else will... until no one does and said data is gone.

I have more faith in books lasting forever than I do any form of data storage media.

I don't think thats true. With HDD being massive these days, and the very many reasons people keep roms, there will always be a contingent with the roms. All mine are backed up both on DVD and on HDD, so I'm covered. I suspect I'm not the only one that does this. I'd hate to think how many servers contain exactly the same data, and the chances of those getting simultaneously demolished are slim. In fact, dont you think the game developers have rom sets on machines in the offices? Be the roms old or new, I bet they have an archive method that goes beyond holding onto the original cart/ board etc.

Well that's fair enough. I hate to play the "opinion card" but that's what it all is. Anyone who just thinks "I'm right and that's that" when it comes to matters like this is teh sucks.

Maybe I'm just too doubtful of PCs. I work with them every day and love programming but I just think PCs are a bit of a pain in the arse and people who operate them are as fallible as the technology.

Eh?

It was working fine on Sept 11th 2001 and ever since. Sure, the news sites were swamped but that's about it.

I found many sites were dying due to the huge influx of people looking, another example would be the telephone wire under the sea next to france which broke and caused ntl customers to lose their connection. Im sure some of it would survive, but not in the same capacity as it is right now.
