Posted on 12-11-06 01:02 AM, in Your opinion about the human race Link
The human race is capable of good things. All over the world, there are sparks of life that influence both good and bad elements upon others, as is the balance of life. Those that further science, those that are philanthropists, the true socialists...All good. But the bad, like Adolf Hitler and Al Quaeda, seek only to destroy life.

There are other ways the arabic people involved with Al Quaeda and groups like it could settle the conflicts they propogate, but they CHOOSE to end life. Hitler was just an unstable egomaniac, and wanted complete control. I'm sure if he had tried a more peaceful approach, he could convince the nations of the world to unite. At the time back then, the world knew very little about it's neighbours, and would have seemed like a good idea.

But these are only a few examples. Bad and good are inevitable things that happen naturally.

So my opinion on humanity: Neutral. There is no real say for ALL humans.

by god or Jesus prove it. Don’t think that I will recognize religious figures as facts just because so many others do.


I cannot believe nobody realized this before.

Christianity is not based on new age anti-semitic (Hope I spelled that right) cult ideals, perhaps?

Hey,

Wel, not too long ago my computer crashed. Hell, it won't even boot into WIndows. After I get past the loading screen, I get this BSOD:

STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}
The image urlmon.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

This is where nothing else happens and I can't even load my Ubuntu install disk up to format and install it on my HD. All I can use (And which I'm using right now) is the Live CD to run it.

Any suggestions on how to format this POS Dell is appreciated.

I do not have access to another computer with a burner, as that was the only one WITH a burner.

However, if there was a way to make a boot disk for XP on a floppy, I would be interested in hearing it.

I didn't burn it. I got it free in the mail, along with 5 other copies which I put out an order for.


If you can access your NTFS partition through the LiveCD, just get a copy of urlmon


I don't have a partition on my drive. I have 2 HD's, one of which has a copy of Windows Nemesis in an ISO, but I can't even see that drive anywhere I look for it.

And neither of them are NTFS, they're FAT32, I think.

Posted on 12-25-06 06:07 AM, in ROM Memory banks Link
Is it possible to set up a ROM so that it can have ANY size data bank? As I understand it, HiRom has 64 KB banks, and LoRom has 32 KB banks (In relation to the SNES).

I ask this because it may be a more efficient way of storing data within a ROM, as pertaining to addressing data. Of course, I may misunderstand the concept completely, but if it is possible, I might be able to utilize this.

I suppose it's not really a big issue, but IF it were possible, would it increase or decrease the performance of a ROM? Like, is LoRom better than HiRom or is the opposite true or neither?

I understand the first part of what you said, but I don't know what you mean by "wired to" the registers and most of the preliminary 32k of WRAM.

There are actually ways to "trick" data load routines into ignoring bank boundaries. I used one of these in Shin Megami Tensei II's translation; when the text load counter overflows the edge of a bank, it just increments the bank number and starts at the "next" byte. Works wonderfully, and I was able to insert the script sequentially without regard for bank boundaries. You have to specifically program for this, though.


If it's possible, I'd very much like to discuss this with you. As always, I'm on #rohmacking, but I might not be there for the next little while, so anytime during the weekend should be fine.

Heh, god forbid he will be marked a martyr. Humans such as he deserve no dignity like that.

I don't think he should be killed. I don't think he killed all the people he was accused of. I think he might have been pinned for some things other members of his regime did *cough*canadataxscandal*cough*.

Seeing as there's no visible evidence to prove otherwise, I see no reason to accuse him completely.

Posted on 01-07-07 08:23 PM, in (Fanfiction) Megaman X - Fusion Link
Alright, you hardcore Megaman fans. This is my attempt at filling in the gaps with the Megaman X storyline, which I know some of you might actually enjoy reading. Please note that it's not the real storyline, just my take on it.

PS: Forgive the formatting, I'm on a laptop and have no time to fix it. The next installment next Sunday will be better.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Megaman X - Fusion
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Part 1
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Tanner smashed through the Tactical Screen and landed hard on the floor. Lying in a heap, the cloaked one came towards him and picked him up by the throat.

“One last time, Tanner, where is the Fusion Core?” He said with a growl.

“Ok, ok, I’ll tell you,” Gasped Tanner, struggling to get free, “But what I say cannot go to the Senate, you must understand that. If you tell them...You will be killed...”

The cloaked one snarled, releasing Tanner to the floor.

“And what reason do they have to keep the location of the Core?” asked the cloaked one, crouching down

Tanner wiped his face with his sleeve, “Because the Core contains the secret to the old Dementia machine,”

This was unexpected. However, he did not let his surprise show, to play a game with Tanner. But now he knew why Tanner had been in hiding for so long.

“I don't know what you mean,” said the cloaked one.

“It contains the design for a newer version of the Dementia machine, in robot form,” he said, “completely re-designed, with a recipe for the newer version of Dementia that can be spread even sub-consciously. The perfect weapon...It almost seems too farfetched, doesn’t it?”

“You say sub-consciously, like it has its own mind,” said the cloaked one, curiously, “AI has only come so far, Tanner.”

“Yes, but the Ancients were thousands of years more advanced than we are,” said Tanner, adjusting his position, “And they knew considerably more about the mind and human consciousness than we ever did. They somehow integrated human mind patterns and technology to make one perfect version of AI...It’s what I’ve always dreamed of creating.”

“And if the Ancients were so smart, then they MUST have a counter weapon for the Dementia Machine, right?”

“Exactly,” said Tanner, smiling, “They weren’t exactly your average humans. Their logic was completely unmatched. They knew eventually something would happen to their perfect weapon. So they designed another machine, this one more powerful than the other...If it were captured, not only would it be able to be replicated to make an army of war, but the self sustaining energy powers it possesses could be harnessed and be used for the betterment of every civilization in existence”

“And all of this is dangerous to release to the senate?” asked the cloaked one, suspiciously.

“The Ghazarkhan have many spies within our hierarchy,” replied Tanner, “But what they desperately need to make their ultimate assault is the Dementia Machine. Forget the adepts, forget political power. Those are only the front for the final battle.”

“And you need the counter weapon before you can go to the senate with this, right?” said the cloaked one, “For your own retribution, perhaps?”

Tanner spat, “My family has been marked as traitors because of my work on researching this weapon. The Ghazarkhan has ruined my life...but now I ask a favor of you...”

“You aren’t really in a position to ask for a favor, you know,” said the cloaked one, “But because you have co-operated so graciously, I’m listening.”

Tanner smiled, and then continued, “I need you to find out who the Ghazarkhan spies are within the senate. That way we can isolate them and get the rest of the senate in on the plan without the Ghazarkhan ever knowing!”

“An alliance between families?” said the cloaked one, surprised, “You know how much that would hurt my family...My close ones...”

“There would be reparations for those affected by the circumstances, and you know it,”
said Tanner, almost spitefully. His tone then changed, “Please, I need this...And if you
go through with it...The rewards would be astounding”

The cloaked one rose up, and walked to the door. Before he exited, he stopped, and turned to Tanner

“Your co-operation won’t go forgotten. We shall meet again”

*******************

X’s land speeder swerved to the left to avoid a plasma charge, leaving a large crater where it landed. Plasma fire and shells were flying back and forth from Professor Lazarus’s fortress.

Suddenly a large, spherical vessel began to rise from the courtyard of the fortress. The
comlink came on in an instant

“Attention Maverick Hunter forces; do not let that vessel leave the area. Bring it down with full force. Repeat, blast that boat to kingdom come!”

“X, cover me, I’m going in for it with my squadron. Take your ground assault team and try to take out those gunners and the missile batteries” came Zero’s voice over the comlink.

“Roger that, Zero, we’re on our way,” said X. He switched the comlink to his team’s personal frequency, “Ok, guys, listen up. Zero and his squad are moving in to take out that vessel, and we’re on his 6. Our job is to take out the missile and gunner turrets on the cliff, copy?”

“Copy that, X,” said Crash, second in commend of the team.

“Roger, X,” Hogan said, another member.

X’s speeder swooped low under the canyon below the fortress, with his team not far behind. They passed around a corner and spotted a hangar door, leading into the canyon.

“X, Intel shows that the door leads to a supply hangar from the top of the canyon down to here,” said Crash, “The elevator inside should be wide enough for all three of us to get up there on our speeders,”

“Ok, that’s where we’re going in then,” Said X, “Prepare for some resistance, fellas,”

As they approached the door, they were surprised to find it already opening.

“Well, boys, looks like we have a little bit of work cut out for us,” said Hogan, “Let’s
get ready to cause some - LOOK OUT!!!”

The cry came just as a large tank crawled out of the hangar, and immediately began charging it's weapons once it saw X and his crew.

“Damn! It’s a Panzer Tank!” said X, “Watch out for the Ion turrets, they’ll knock out your
electrical systems and you’ll be stuck!”

“Copy that, moving in for the cockpit!” said Crash, dodging the immediate plasma fire

“Roger, we’ll distract it,” Said X, then cried out, “Hold on, MORE?!”

X watched as 5 more tanks pulled out from the hangar. He quickly switched to the base
frequency, but then had an idea.

“Hey boys, remember training ops last month, when we were recruiting?”

“Yeah, I remember we took out 3 Panzers, but it wasn’t easy,” said Hogan, avoiding missiles left and right, “And this is 5! How can we possibly expect to defeat that many?”

“Just follow my lead,” said X, grinning.

X swooped in between the first 2 tanks, dodging Ion fire like crazy. The other 3 continued to engage Crash and Hogan, firing at the ground to flip their hovercrafts. But Hogan and Crash already knew what X was doing. They kept on flying in evasive patterns to avoid the enemy fire.

X, turning on the autopilot, opened the hatch of his speeder, and climbed on top, riding it
like a surfboard. Taking aim, he fired at the cockpit of the closest tank, and annihilated
the driver. Aiming at the power core, he fired and blasted the tank to smithereens,
vaporizing the one closest to it and sending the other 3 flying.

“Heads up below!” Cried X as he sailed through the air, holding on for dear life. He slowly
climbed back into the cockpit as his hovercraft came crashing down to the ground, somehow in one piece.

“Ok, let’s get up top,” Said X over the comm, hardly fazed by the immense feat he had
accomplished. Suddenly the comlink crackled to life.

“What the hell was that explosion?” Came Alia’s voice over the comm. She sounded confused.

“Hehe, sorry bout that, Alia,” Said X, “We took care of some trouble for you. No worries,
we’re still ok,”

“Well, hurry up and do your job,” She said angrily, “Zero’s unit is counting on you. Alia out.”

“Roger that,” Said X, switching back to the other frequency, “Ok boys, lets move in,”
The trio flew into the hangar, half expecting a fight. Surprisingly, there were no enemies in sight, or on radar within the establishment. One other disappointment was the lack of a cargo elevator.

“So how are we supposed to get up there on the speeders?” asked Crash, mockingly.

X surveyed the area. There were ammunition crates on one side of the hangar, some vehicles the far corner and a huge stack of weapons crates on the other side. He smiled, thinking up a plan.

“Load up, fellas,” Said X, pointing to the weapons, “Time for a ground assault on the upper side. Let’s move!”

*******************

“Dragoon, there seems to be a small battle taking place on the western continent. According to the local Intelligence, it seems to be localized around a conspiracy dealing with our top agent, Professor Lazarus,” said the pilot of the vessel Mitos, “It would be wise to avoid communication with the one they call X at this time.”

The Dragoon pondered this for a moment. If they delayed, there could be massive repercussions back home. If they moved in, X could be destroyed and his last hope at retribution along with him.

But the Dragoon was full of ideas.

“What other Intelligence does the human’s have regarding the conspiracy?” He asked.

The pilot brought up the information on the main screen.

“It would seem that something they consider deadly, a ‘Nightmare Virus’, has been reproduced in mass quantities within Lazarus’s private castle,” said the pilot, “It appears this Virus is not harmful to humans, but to robots, corrupting their memory, logic circuits, and in some cases, their physical appearance.”

The pilot turned to face the Dragoon, looking at him eye to eye.

“It would only make sense that the Professor was trying to replicate the virus to take with him when he departed the planet,” She said, matter-of-factly, “Then he would be free to do what he wished with it, possibly causing massive damage to computer dependent peoples such as Humans.

Worse, he could produce a stronger, more reliable version of the virus, and use it on a self proclaimed quest for glory,”

Her expression then turned cold, and a smile showed on her face

“Our ‘only option’ is to destroy his complex and any trace of the virus before it can leave
Earth. We would have to keep a quarantine to make sure, and check for any capsules that have been launched into space recently,” she said, almost chuckling. She paused, letting the Dragoon think about this.

The Dragoon shared her smile. He switched on the intercom.

“Attention all Acolytes. Move in on Professor Lazarus’s castle and surrounding complex,” ordered the Dragoon over the intercom, “I want everything of his obliterated, and this ‘Nightmare Virus’ destroyed. NOTHING remains,”

He turned off the intercom and faced the pilot, “Send a message to Lazarus’s enemy’s headquarters,” He said, pondering what to say. After a minute, he made up his mind.

*******************

“This is Ares, Dragoon of the vessel Mitos. We are going to attempt to eliminate Professor Lazarus, his Castle and surrounding complex. You have 15 of your minutes to evacuate or be destroyed along with the rest of the facility. We require no assistance other than your removal of troops from the area. More information shall be disclosed at a later time. Ares out.”

Alia could only gape at the screen as the message played on it. As she stared, she could only wonder at what they actually were planning to do down there.

“Who the hell was that?” Said Signas, gazing at the main view screen, which displayed various images regarding the battle. Alia stared in silence, and then turned to Signas.

If this Ares was truly planning on eliminating Professor Lazarus, then perhaps it would be best that they evacuate the area. On the other hand, it could be a trick to help the Doctor get the hell out of there. She turned back to the view screen, hands in her face.

In any case, she had no time to lose. She switched the comlink to all frequencies used by the Maverick Hunters.

“Attention all Maverick Hunters assaulting Castle Lazarus,” She said angrily, put off by this Dragoon’s lack of detail, “Evacuate the area immediately. I repeat, evacuate the facility immediately or be annihilated. That is an order. Alia out.”

As she switched off the comm, Signas put a hand on her shoulder, comforting her.

“It will all make sense soon,” He said, soothingly, “Soon enough they’ll want to talk to us, or they wouldn’t have come to Earth in the first place.”

She turned around, anger showing in her smooth, metallic eyes. She always was a wild one, he thought

“I don’t care about talking,” She snapped, “All I want is an explanation for WHY I had to
withdraw. This is gonna be hard to explain to General, you know.”

And with that, she threw up her arms in frustration and stormed out of the Command Centre, leaving Signas in charge. After watching her leave the room, he turned and continued to watch the screen, waiting for anything that might happen.

He checked his chronometer. 12:00, almost time for a power down. He could go on for a little longer, though.

People depended on it.

*******************

Amidst the raging battle on the grounds below the cliff, the battles in the skies, and many failed attempts at destroying the facility, the upside of the cliff was pretty much undamaged thanks to superior Anti-Air weapons installed.

Suddenly, a large explosion from the middle of the courtyard caught the ground troops attention, who were about to meet the Maverick Hunter ground forces, and immediately began to fire on X and his crew, who darted frntically from the elevator hatch. Luckily, the explosion had been a small mid-weight tank, which was causing multiple headaches for X’s superiors and the troops outside the castle.

Acting quickly, as they had no time to spare, they launched rockets at the remaining 5 before they could set their turrets onto their position. After those were taken care of, the group split up and took cover, surprisingly fast for the amount of munitions they were carrying.

X took cover behind a wrecked tank, and set up a PT-344 Auto Machine gun, which fired 100 plasma rounds per second for 30 seconds per clip. Immediately, he began to fire at the now scattered enemy troops around the area.

Rounds and rounds of plasma charges flurried across the courtyard as X fired the weapon with deadly precision. Bits of earth shot up into the sky, and the enemy troops had very little time to react before they were destroyed.

A group of flyers spotted X and began to ascend on his position, and immediately started firing at him. Crash aimed his Ion cannon up at them and fired off a charged beam, destroying them, and continued firing at the gun turrets.

His ammo clip depleted, X abandoned his post and made a mad dash for the castle. Explosions and weapons fire tore away at the ground around him as he jumped and dodged the incoming bullets and plasma charges. He unloaded an array of fusion grenades, and hurled them at the far west wall, where an exhaust port leading to the power reactor lay. One of the grenades detonated, causing a chain reaction with the others, and set off a massive explosion that rocked the entire mountain, setting off a destabilizing flux in the reactor.

The reactor beam pulsated one more time, and was silent for a half second. Then the ground beneath the west wall exploded into a geyser of earth, metal and fire as the reactor core collapsed. X, being forced off his feet by the explosion, flew some yards on the metal platform, crashing to a halt. He recollected himself, and turned on his comm.

“Alright, guys,” X said into the comm, “Clean up and get the hell out of here, Zero should
have that thing taken down soon!”

Crash finished off a few targets on the tarmac, and nodded his acknowledgement. Hogan did the same. Both of them hopped on some nearby speeders, and blasted a hole in the wall for escape. X looked around, and saw a fighter craft, inactive. He grinned, and ran to it. But before he could make it, his transporters became active.

“What the hell?” he cried aloud, but before he could know what was going on, his transporter engaged, and he knew nothing.

*******************

The sky was a scene of hellfire that day. Missiles flew from Zero’s Falcon-III Fighter as he locked on to an enemy reploid flying through the air. The missiles made contact, and the reploid, cunningly named ‘Dragons’ due to their appearance, exploded into pieces, falling to the ground.

“Yeah! Score one for our side!” Zero exclaimed into the comm. He had been thus far unlucky as to find a target, but finally he found one, and he couldn’t feel any better about it. The comm came on as he was about to target another.

“Zero, X is moving in to take out the power core within the complex, buying you some room to take out that flying object. For now, continue to focus your fire on the enemies in the air around it, escorting it out of the atmosphere. Alia out”

“That’s a big 10-4, Alia”, replied Zero, “Zero out.”

Zero pulled a U-turn, only to find a pack of Dragons locked on and preparing to fire on him. In a split-second, he swerved down towards the canyon, and put on his rear deflectors at full charge.

“Zak! Zak, can you hear me?!” Zero cried into the comm, dodging left to avoid some fire, “This is Zero! I need you on my six now!”

“Copy that, big buddy,” Replied Zak, a rookie fighter new to the Hunters, “Moving in”
Zero saw Zak’s fighter begin to move in, then watched as it exploded from an Ion Torpedo, striking the fighter from the rear.

Zero closed his eyes for a moment, and then was jolted around by some fire from the Dragons behind him. Fully aware of his surroundings again, he pulled some more evasive maneuvers, and entered the canyon.

The canyon was filled with dangerous curves and pillars of rock, eroded from before human times, but also provided excellent cover for an ace pilot such as Zero.

Zero sped through the canyon like a banshee, and the dragons followed with ease. They turned left and right, dodging this way and that, and then they came to a straight away, with huge spires shooting up from the ground. Flying around them was no problem, but the Dragons found it easy as well.

There was a curve up ahead, 2 miles down the canyon, and suddenly an idea came to Zero’s head.

If I've been watching their movements correctly, they like to keep close to the wall, He thought to himself, now if I can just get some mines on that cliff wall...

Zero charged his rear cannon. He knew this canyon better than anyone on base, and there was a left curve, and a right curve no more than 20 meters ahead of the left curve. If he could aim it right, he would be able to shoot the ridge with a large blast as he came around the second turn, enough to make a landslide, crushing them all under the rock.

He approached the first turn a little fast, but he kept his head and continued on the second curve. The rear cannon fired, and destroyed enough rock on the ridge to create a landslide. The Dragons came around the corner, and were crushed under the resulting land mass.

“YEAH!” cried Zero, “Got em good!”

He flew in a little victory maneuver, and then headed back to the battle above. As he came over the canyon wall, however, a large explosion came from within the Castle. The comm was on in an instant.

“Zero, this is Alia,” came the voice on the comm, “I can’t reach X, he’s not responding to any communications. You guys have to get out of there now! I repeat, get the hell out of there immediate-”

Then the line went dead.

“Wait, Alia, what’s going on?!” said Zero into the comm, “Alia? ALIA!”

No response. Oh well, he’d sort it out later. For now he had to get to X. As far as he could tell, he was somewhere within the Castle, but where...

He flew overtop of the castle once, and saw no sign of X. The Castle, now that infantry and fighter jets could get in and tear the place apart, looked more than demolished.

Looking at the sky above, the ship had almost reached the very top of the atmosphere, the battle still raging on, but it seemed Maverick Hunters were all pulling out.

He was about to set down to look for X, when suddenly his transporter was set off.

“Wha-What the?!” He cried out, his ship now spinning out of control headed towards the
ground. He fought for control, but it was too late. He disappeared just moments before the ship crashed into the west wall of the Castle...

Well, thats all for chapter one. I know it's fairly long, but the rest are not so time consuming. Any constructive criticism you could provide (It's old, it needs work done) would be appreciated.

Ok, so I got this recovery disk from a computer techie, so I put it in my PC and reformatted the drive into NTFS. Then the setup loaded all the windows files onto the HDD. Then it rebooted, and told me "Primary Disk 0 not found".

FUCK. Please help me figure this out.

Gah...Why must I jump through hoops now? Windows 98 was so easy to install...

Ok, so I not have to go BACK to Futureshop and get this new Partition Management disk or whatever. What do I do once I have it?
