Don't do that, you'll break it! Everyone knows you can't put metal in the microwave! Duh! And freezers take too long. Maybe a device that sprays liquid nitrogen on said object, then somehow removes it could work, though. ...Actually, that's a pretty damn good idea. |

But it would kick ass to see flaming Goombas running around panicking and screaming, setting other enemies on fire... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I could have sworn there already was one of these. I remember making one anyway. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(I'm posting this here because I'll probably be using emulation, and General Gaming isn't all that active. ) |
Well I got to thinking about making my own little arcade system out of an old computer, and I've pretty much got it figured out. I think I'm gonna do it. I know how I can do the coin box and such. (What I plan to do is have the coins run down a wooden shaft of sorts. At the beginning is a nickel-sized hole, so that nickels, dimes and pennies fall through into the reject slot. Next is a quarter-sized slot, where the quarter would fall through into the coin box, tripping a pair of circuits on its way. (The circuits would be wired up to keys on the keyboard, say A and B. If A, then B is pressed, it gives them a credit, but if B, then A is pressed, it subtracts one, thus avoiding the old 'quarter on a string' trick.) For controls, I'll have big arcade-style buttons and (hopefully) a joystick wired up to various keys on the keyboard. If need be, I (or whoever has the key) could open the unit and plug in a normal keyboard/mouse for administation. As far as games go, this is the tricky part. If I just used an emulator with old Nintendo games (NES, SNES, maybe Gameboy) am I likely to get in trouble? (Keep in mind this is a small nowhere town in Ontario. ) If I write my own games, well that'd take a while and they probably wouldn't be as good. For things like credits I figure I'll have a VB program running in the background, listening for the keypresses. This way it could do other cool things as well, such as displaying tutorials/info on the games, a cool 'game over'/'insert coin' animation, etc. (Plus keeping track of time limits would be easy - or for some games I could even monitor the memory to determine when the player's run out of lives, rather than using a timer. Even set the life counter based on the number of credits. ) Another fun idea I thought of is to have a disk drive on the unit, where people could put a floppy disk to save/load save files from. Thoughts? Finally, this leaves the question of where the heck to put it. There aren't any arcades in town, just one at the mall. I figure they might take it there, but I don't know if they'd be willing or even legally could. (I fear things like equipment standards I couldn't hope to live up to, and so on.) Any info on this? What would it take to get my box into a public place where people could use it? And also, any games you guys wanna recommend?

Woo, thread 8000. |
Well it all depends what I'm doing that day. School: Blizzard that gets it cancelled. Typical non-school stuff: Rain, prefferably at night. It sounds nice, and rarely knocks out electricity. Something fun that involves going out (in this town? ): Wind. It's relaxing. Nothing in particular: Light snow, or a big lightning storm. Both provide some nice entertainment.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. (I have seen an arcade game set up with a SNES and some games that appeared to be hacked for arcade use, but I dunno how legal it was or if it even used a real SNES. ) What about remakes of classic games such as Pong and Tetris, are those legal? |

Well, since we already have a GBA thread here... |
I've recently been doing some experimentation with running programs from memory by patching in-game functions. I was able to do this on GBC with Pok (edited by HyperHacker on 11-24-04 05:33 PM)

Originally posted by Karadur Well, basically yes, but I really meant re-making games like Tetris, Pong, and maybe some old Nintendo games myself. As for using other people's programs, I do intend to ask permission first, of course. And I asked Nintendo about the licensing thing. As if we can't guess their response but it can't hurt much to ask.

Yes, I had intended to allow the player to select a game. I haven't got a reply yet. And as far as remakes go, wouldn't there still be issues since I didn't actually invent the game? (Especially since I'm thinking of exact remakes of some games, such as Bubble Bobble. I'd be using the same graphics, sound etc.) |
And thanks for the link.

Start -> Run -> "notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" (no quotes) |
Add the sites to the end of the list with '127.0.0.1' in front of them.

Speak for yourself! English class especially is just horrible for piling it on. At the moment we're working on two book reviews, several little assignments, a huge essay, multiple tests, and several other things I can't remember at the moment. Plus all the other classes. If they can't make school 24 hours, they'll just assign 24 hours worth of work a day. |

Interesting. The dropdown box is at IRC instead of Lost Threads whenever I come in here now. |

I thought you could already do this with DS? Does it actually have online support? |

Where's that pic where Mario throws a baby Yoshi at Big Boo, and the whole place explodes? |
