I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm considering programming this from scratch using the new NESicide IDE. I figure that it would probably be faster to program the thing my way instead of reverse engineering Capcom's code.


However, there is a Game Maker engine that I already have in my possession that has commented code.
It shouldn't be too difficult to convert the relevant code to 6502 ASM.
Thanks!

Last view: 4472 days 		the point of vista's security(and 7, it's pretty much the same for both, except 7's uac is more granular) is that you DON'T leave your account as the/a system admin. you set up the admin account(which is disabled by default with good reason) and then use the admin's CREDENTIALS when you want to get past a uac prompt. you aren't supposed to turn off uac or try to get around a lot of that stuff, it's for security.

it's your computer to ruin, though, so you may want to try setting yourself as the owner of all of the directories on the c drive(default owner should be "trusted installer") and making sure you have an admin account for that. then, try deleting/creating directories. you can also do some nifty group policy stuff if you have a better version of vista than home premium. (if not, you have to do it through registry entries)

Last view: 4472 days 		yes, it partially protects people from themselves in that it notifies when system changes are made and prompts for action. think about it, though. if you use a standard user account with the admin user/pass for uac prompts and someone gets into your account to do something malicious, they(for the most part) can't do it because they won't have those admin credentials.

You're an idiot for even thinking it was a good idea to put an operating system on an SSD. SSDs may read faster, but they wear out a LOT faster than any other type of disk, because it's not magnetic disks inside, it's like a giant flash drive that uses bit switches to hold data, which makes them less durable because the switches wear out.


are you joking? that's what solid state drives are for. as an added bonus, windows 7(and possibly vista?) detects when it's on an ssd and will adjust defragging(pretty much turn it off) and other os functions accordingly. i have to get to work so i can't go into it now, but you ought to do some reading on the subject.

Anyway, SSDs, as well as any other kind of FLASH memory, have limited write cycles, so even if it's a pretty high number, they're bound to break someday. (Not that 'normal' HDDs never break, tho...)

Though, FRAM has unlimited write cycles, afaik, but loses data earlier.


yes, limited. thats why 7(vista also?) turns off defragging along with many other optimizations.

better yet,

As a result, an SSD is especially good for storing an operating system or applications

Also, Windows Mail (aka Outlook Express) isn't provided with Windows 7, and Microsoft will likely never provide it anymore with Windows.


not with, but you can still get it.

Last view: 4472 days 		those can be due to most anything. you would need to have the minidumps from the bluescreens to figure out exactly what caused them. if on the off chance you do still have the minidumps from when you were having problems, i would happily have a look for you. they should be in c:\windows\minidump(s?)

e:
and, yes, wireshark isn't a bad idea if you think something like that may be happening.

Last view: 4472 days 		not that i post here much, but, yes, this is definitely a pretty nice hack. there are so few lttp hacks that have been finished that it's great to add another to the (regrettably small) collection. i sort of agree that making savestates essentially required is a good idea, but it seems implemented in a misguided way to me. think about it. you would be removing the "cheatiness" of states if you could limit it to one every long once in awhile or something, or if they penalized you after using one in some way. the way things are set up, you're requiring states, but it's not like they can't still be used to cheat whenever, regardless.

anyway, though, without your experimentation with things like that, the game wouldn't be beatable in 20 minutes. thanks.

Last view: 4472 days 		you could change the permissions on the drives/folders/partitions not only allow access to your username in xp... i think. i have no need to dual-boot so I'm not sure exactly how it would work. really, though, grab yourself microsoft security essentials and be careful and you should be ok. mse is quite nice in terms of virus/malware protection and has a pretty small memory footprint.

as for a virus somehow "seeking out" xp partitions off of a thumb drive, he's talking about leaving auto-run on on the pc and something auto-executing off of the usb stick. the odds of a piece of malware jumping off of a thumb drive in win xp and going, "hey! windows 7! let's go over there!" is pretty slim. a virus almost always will target the current system partition, which will be win xp.

btw, system shock and system shock 2 both work fine in windows 7 x64, so you don't need to worry about playing them in xp.

for a dual-boot, you may want to follow this:

Well, my dad taught computer class in collage, and he used to own a computer repair shop. He insists the my family use AVG, and Microsoft Security Essentials. security essentials has real time scanning but I'm not so sure about open-source.


your dad is right about mse at least. avg isn't all that great anymore, but mse is excellent, and 2.0(still in beta) is a nice improvement.

e: i didn't think about it before, but if an av is open source you're just inviting malware authors to check it out. not a great idea.
