| There was a discussion in #rom-hacking about this and, as far as I know, I won. The problem was: Which is better, roms or carts? My answer was that roms are better, for these reasons: 1) Game saving: A cart battery can die, thus losing your savegames. With emulators, this isn't an issue as there is no hardware (other than the computer itself) that can erase on accident. 2) Controllers: Saying that a controller is better than the keyboard is absurd. People buy computer controllers all the time. This is not an argument. 3) The TV: You can hook up your TV to your computer with relative easy. People do it all the time. 4) Sound: Sound is as good as your sound card. There isn't a difference between your sound card and the TV. Listen carefully. 5) Hardware issues: Sometimes, a cart will not work. This is seen on the NES constantly. The game doesn't load or you get funky glitches. This is eliminated on the emulators. Try it. It loads every time. 6) Cheating: On an NES, you had to buy a game genie separately. Most modern emulators support cheat devices. 7) Console fKitten Yiffer: Example is my n64. The console quit working one day and I haven't a clue as to why. But lo and behold, the n64 emulator works every time! 8) Retro gaming, or "I have all these old games in cart form!": Big whoop. I have as many roms as you have carts. And mine are definite to work too. Doesn't matter if they aren't worth much money. That's why jobs were invented. There were other reasons, but I'm not going into detail. But for these said reasons, I conclude that emulators and roms are greater than original carts and consoles. Care to depose my argument? Or to agree with me? |

Wow, I was expecting some slight opposition, like I got from #rom-hacking. Take that, Skiffles!  I'm happy you guys agree with me on this subject. Take that, Nintendo! |

| Nintendo 64: "Ooh, baby, you look foxy tonight..." Gamecube: "Take me, you savage. Take me down!" -9 months later- Nexux baby: "whaaa!!!!!!" *cough* It looks like they're sticking with their mini-dvd media bs too. Rather than going full size discs and letting us have dvd-players and cd-players with our console. Something that I am NOT thrilled about, but who cares? That's what Xbox is for  As for controllers, yes, they are wireless. Read the specs Oh, and the disc tray looks like a C. Wtf. |

| I must say, this doesn't sound like you thought this through very seriously XD You sound like a mother who is fed up with her kids because they don't want to eat the rest of their food. But you want them to at least finish chewing what they were eating, regardless of the fact that it could be a piece of meat fat or simply taste terrible, but you find it very necessary for them to digest it anyway. This will make the kids mad and they will hate you for life and they will go on Jerry Springer and blame their emotional problems on you. All because you're fed up with their lack of finishing their food. |

-Consoles are easy to use on a TV and don't require super-expensive hardware or moving your computer to do so. |
Since when are they super expensive? XD Besides, buying the discs or carts for a console gaming system is just as expensive. Emulation is cheaper in the long run. -You can use a console while your annoying little brother is on the computer. That works if you're a pussy and can't even get on the computer. I find this to be a stupid argument. -No emulator is perfect. Especially with fun hardware-related bugs, they fall short. Newer consoles are especially hard to emulate. Newer consoles, such as GC or XBOX? Those aren't carts. -Generic PC controllers often don't work well for complex games, and using a keyboard sucks. Define generic. Using a keyboard doesn't suck. It takes a bit of skill. Plus, in my opinion, using a keyboard shows more manual dexterity than a gamepad because you use more than just your thumbs. -You won't get hassled by the feds for using a console.  I'll accept this as valid as soon as the feds come to my door and bug me because I'm playing tetris. I'm not offering it illegally. -No worrying about your computer crashing or messing things up. That is dependant on your computer. If you're in the stone age, then yes, this is a problem. If you have any sense at all, then this isn't a problem. Plus, a gaming console can crash and burn just as easily as a computer. The difference is that these older systems are "rare" and are more expensive sometimes (classic means stupid). Fixing a crash on a computer is a cinch. -Consoles boot faster than any computer ever will and launch the game instantly. Maybe the console boots faster than a computer, but not faster than an emulator. My old NES took a super long time to load, and that was because the cart didn't work half the time. I get the rom to load 100% time. Tell me which is better  -Game companies don't try to prevent the games from being used on consoles. So? But what really pwns, hands down, no contest: EMULATORS RUNNING ON CONSOLES. Ah, so.... you DO think the rom is better I knew it!I win!

Don't waste your time |
Yoshi's Story isn't that good of a game anyway. Unless you particularly enjoy the game song over and over (and over and over) again.

No. |
There are already too many sticky threads in this forum (more than 2 = unhappy weasel). In fact, once one of those goes inactive for a while, I'll unpin it.

Well, there's a ship in zero mission and one in super metroid, and they're both in the same places. Yeah, I'd say they were the same. |
As for it being in Maridia, that's not unlikely. Parts of it could have been buried. Which could explain the baby metroids floating around down there.

Hahahaha, you, RapTop, are a sheep, loving your precious nintendo and hating little ol' microsoft XD Too afraid to come out of the 20th century and grow up? |
Honestly, the Xbox is a great gaming console. Little babies like RapTop are little mini advertisers of Nintendo. Grow up and at least try it.

Wrong forum. This is general romhacking. And no rom requests are allowed. This is a very strict rule, I guess. Just don' do it again |

The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism. That's the meaning of life
