yeah. I saw the fast packs. Every fast pack addon kit will have a strike cannon. Even the tv ones.

I got one. It is pretty decent for the size and price.

you can get it in the memories book.

Yeah, I know what you mean. What you describe isn't possible TODAY. No, they were hacked. It's the only way for there to have been any translation at all. ... Actaully, I lie. It's possible the original games were like that. A lot of original japanese games have the basic stuff in english. Heck, the FamiCom controls are even labelled in english(actually, all game systems since then have been). Japan's wierd about that for some reason. 413530[/snapback] a lot of mecha games are like that. gundam etc. I have played a good amount of imports. there are a ton of games with english menus etc. macros plus game edition is practiclly english as are others.

That's all that's in it? Sheesh, I'd've thought Nintendo would know better by that point. the snes was really easy to fix. The usa sytem has 2 pegs in it which block the japanese cartridges due to their shape. this is what i did to mine. http://www.gamesx.com/importmod/snescon.htm the chip you said, only stops you from plaing pal game on ntsc systems. Those cheated. They had NES and SNES clones inside them. The clones ignore the lockout chip, because they don't have a matching one. could you play pal games? You can't spell ignorant without IGN, as they say. I've got a dim view of the gaming media as a whole. 413128[/snapback] rofl

Actually, that was only PART of it. All NES releases outside of Japan had a regional lockout chip(initially. The NES2 has no lockout chips, because Nintendo no longer cared). Japanese carts, lacking chips, worked in no one else's decks. The form factor was also diffrent, both to avoid the look of a game console(remember, retailers thought video games were a dead fad, so Nintendo had to go to a lot of effort to even get the NES into stores) as well as to add pins for the lockout chip. Beyond that.... there were TWO DIFFRENT lockout chips. One was used in the Americas, another in Europe. While the form factor for both regions was the same, carts were NOT interchangable. The SNES continued the use of 2 seperate regional lockout chips, and added form factor variances so they could use the US chip on japanese consoles without carts being swappable between regions(I suspect the SNES actually uses leftover NES stock, especiallg given much of it's design was done with an eye towards backwards-compatibility). I'm not entirely sure how the N64 lockout is set up, but I guarantee it isn't form-factor-only. ok. that was wierd. Considering, i have japanese snes games that work fine on my usa system. if they have the same region chip, then it explains why it would work. for n64, you need an adapter to adjust the shape of it to play on a usa n64. I remember seeing the super adapters which allowed, all nintedo cartidges to work on a n64. from the nes onward. Right. No portable has been, because there's a good chance that, for example, someone in the US armed forces might be stationed in Australia or something. yep. I think sony realized how much money they where makign due to impor gaming. llol. If you actually go through the list, a lot of those games ARE locked. 413064[/snapback] yeah,. i added it afterwards. the ign article i read before lied!!! lol.

cool vid using the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_cgW6NGonI

Depends on reception, among other things. unless we get bigger bandwith, this is true. it is. I rarly watch broadcast tv. if at all. I'm aware of the diffrence. I COULD have listed every step along the way, but chose to go for the extremes only and specify that there was a range in between. Personally, I don't think a set should legally be allowed to call itself a DTV set if it's a standard-definition display. The mass market has no comprehension of the diffrence between DTV(any ATSC source), HDTV(only the higher ATSC resolutions), and non-ATSC digital sources. And while things are better than the early days(when I gather TVs would only display those portions of the ATSC spec that were < or = their native res), I still think an HD resolution should be required after all the hype about superior image quality. the goverment wants to standard to be changed to digital. The method of delivery not the actual content. When we reach 2009, there is no obligation for the channels to do hdtv signals. they will be required to delivery it digitally but not the content. i mean like dvds. you ave spanish, iapanese, etc. mulitple ones. also have a sporting event where you can switch viewing angles. You can have diffrent cameras broadcasting simeltaniosly. nes/snes/n64 etc. all had a primitve lockout. their cartidge shape was diffrent. otherwise they where fully compatible. te gba etc where never region coded. I think sony leared from their psp. Xbox 360 only as a few titles which are region coded. Most are universal play. Depending on the title you can import and play them. here is a list of none region coded xbox 360 games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_...region_encoding Ignoring the political angle...So HDTV reveals to the world what the more intelligent people already knew? Sounds like a plus to me. 412942[/snapback] yeah. though they need to be carefull. this could effect alot of other stars as well.

A. There's analog services still. B. DTV within the context of this discussion SHOULD be understood to mean ATSC spec, not any video which is transmitted in digital format and viewed on a TV. Digital cable and satellite typically have WORSE image quality than a good NTSC reception, because they're overcompressed to squeeze more bandwidth out. yes. the signal your getting is digital even though the source is analog. they do. But most people can't get scif, hbo etc. off the air. tape/dvd/ld etc any source readily avalable is allways better then braodcast. Which is getting you something diffrent than digital cable. And the level of benefit you'll get will vary greatly with actual hardware setup. An upgrade box on a standard NTSC set gets the worst, and a native HD set with integrated ATSC tuner gets the best. i think your confusing digital tv with hd tv. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television Multiple audio channels and subtitles are already supported on NTSC via SAP and closed captioning. Of course, SAP has seen very limited support and closed captioning sucks if for no other reason than it's VERY sensitive to noise. 412935[/snapback] yes. i was talking about more then spanish. YOu get a few of them, Also interactive tv. lots of other cool features. if they do a uniform format and stick with it. It will be much better. I want them to loose this region setting on dvds. Cause it;'s crap and we all know it. I own several region 2's and imporet games. I hate having to go out of my way to play them. i found this very funny article. lol. Now it needs to show how dumb bush is to the rest of the populas and i'll whole heartedly support it. http://www.tvpredictions.com/spears063006.htm

Cutoff for analog in the US is scheduled for 2009, last I heard. It's been floating, but they think DTV adoption is picking up enough that they won't roll this one back. 412643[/snapback] anyone getting satelite or cable already is getting dtv. Though if you want your chanlles without said venues you will need a converter to grab the signals. I am looking forward to dtv. Considering you can get multiple audio, subtitles a few other features. I belive the tvs i have can get it. Not sure about the 27 incher. http://www.pbs.org/opb/crashcourse/

I never said the dc was bad, It was better yet it lost. the psx was outselling te dc by 10 to 1.... http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/105241

Lies! why? I have a hd tv. It is very overrated. Why would i want to see imperfections on a star's skin. Doesn't matter when HD sets will be all that's available in a few years. One tv set we bought in the 80's died a year ago. repair shops thrive for a reason. You DO know that VCRs cost an absurd sum of money when they were introduced, right? You just shot yourself in the foot. yeah they did. They also let you record stuff, which was why it sold. Please don't quote me out of context. Beta had some issues of it's own. The big one was that you could make a LONGER VHS tape. The quality diffrence on the hardware available at the time was insignifigant, which didn't help matters. Also Beta never should've killed VHS. It was there first. newer is not allways better. 75/76 being their respective dates of release. psx was outselling dreamcast and the dreamcast was how much newer? you don't need better visual quality for most of the stuff that is out there. ps. what is wrong with the tags?

hd is overrated. People are also cheap bastards. Otherwise tapes would never have taken off nor vhs. LD's and betamax should have killed vhs if this was the case.

show me some art when your there. it would be cool to see.

i bought a 360 surpriseingly. I;ll definalty pikc up a ps3 and a wii. Damn toriyama and the guys who made chrono trigger for making blue dragon a 360 exclusive.

noone cares. people sell their art all over it.

386157[/snapback] i doub she will go 386173[/snapback] You should donate a date with her as a prize. That would be so cool, I would show up WITHOUT A DOUBT! That would blow away any "drawing" prize for sure. 386274[/snapback] rofl

386157[/snapback] i doub she will go

Assuming I go. Want a tekwando class lol.

cool. what do you want it to be? a vf? a character? I coudl do a few of them and they can be given as second or third place winners. So others get somthing. Heck. you can phtocopy them for non winnign enteries.

Dude. Is that a question you should be asking? What else would it be.

I will donate a drawing as a prize.

a appologise. i am at an emotional point which i cannot handle anything beyond sleeop(assuming i can fall asleep) and simpole activities. I have descided to take this summer off from expo mwcona dn possibly comicon. I won;t be frequenting the net much either. good bye for now.

since the xenoguy is on board. we got vf1 etc. do you have aim or man? or any other im

this will be for fun. but if hg wants to do somthing. then it;s up to them. the fiels are specific. we would need to convert to them
