    "Wii elbow"; Wii's breaking tvs?

    A pair of articles I found this morning. The first, the "Wii elbow" is not unexpected in the least. The second is more amusing, but I'm sure Nintendo will correct the problem. Hopefully users will correct the problem of unnecessary overzealousness as well. :) "WSJ: First cases of "Wii Elbow"...

    Has MS screwed up now with the 360?

    I found this in an article on Cinescape: "HD DVD add-on for X-Box 360 – No HDMI: The first pictures of the HD DVD add-on for Microsoft’s X-Box 360 were recently posted on IGN.com, and there’s some bad news: The accessory apparently will not have an HDMI digital output, only two USB ports and...

    I can't win, you know

    So, I'll probably be getting my replacement PStwo today. And, just sitting here, I said aloud to my wife about how I was thinking perhaps I could hook up my old PS2 to my computer, so I can play games while she's watching tv and stuff. Bad move on my part: she gets all pissy about my having...

    PS2 swap discs?

    I was discussing modchips with a friend, and she sent me to a site that has a few swap discs for PS2. Now, according to this site (which, she says, their brick & mortar has been hit in the past for piracy and other illegal activities, yet they still advertise in the open), "swap discs" sets are...

    PS2 cleaning

    Ok, I've had my PS2 four over 4 years now. It's starting to show it's age I think. I was just playing that new game, Mercenaries, a bit ago, and after the very first mission, the game locked up. The disc seems to be fine (Blockbuster rental), and I've heard the game might have lockup issues...

    default JNes palette

    Probably a stupid question, but since you have a palette pack that we can check out, which one of these is JNes's default? It appears to be kOrn, but for all I know, it's none of them. :)

    minor "feature" request

    On the CPU -> Save Slot listing, can we get some sort of marker to indicate which slots have been used for saved games? Maybe even a brief time stamp (YYYY/MM/DD Time) to show when they were saved? It's a minor quibble, but useful if you haven't played a game in awhile, but want to know where...

    PS2 - GameShark2 or Action Replay?

    I was thinking about picking up one or the other of these two cheat systems for the PS2. I was wondering if anybody has opinions on one over the other.

    psx/ps2 memory card adapter?

    Is there any sort of adapter out there that will allow you connect a PSX or PS2 memory card to your PC or anything? Seems like a better way to guarantee that my saved game files will survive (since I had a psx memory card die a few months back).

    Microsoft dumps Nvidia for ATI

    It looks like Microsoft has reached an agreement with ATI to provide the graphics chips for the next next-generation console. An interesting move, since ATI already provides graphics chips for the GameCube. Though, it'll be more interesting I think to see whether Microsoft will make a product...

    All quiet on the NES front...

    While I've spent more of my gaming time lately on N64 and PSX stuff, I'm ready to dig out the ol' NES stuff again for awhile. Got a few favorites I need to play again. :)

    console game lists?

    Ok, the Nintendo web site has master game lists (I presume they are complete) for the GC, N64, GBA, and GBC. They have next to nothing in their listings for GB, SNES & NES. I have some fan compiled lists, but I'm wondering if there's any official lists anywhere that you guys are aware of? And...

    losing sound on saved game load

    Well, I thought I was out of questions, but when I load a saved game in Project64, I'm not getting any sound. The sound is fine, otherwise - when I reset the emulator, the sound is there. Not having alot of experience with this emulator yet, I'm not sure if there's a simple solutions or not...

    another question! :) best emu?

    I've been trying out Project64, and I like the GoodNes screen that tells me what runs of the games I've got and what doesn't. Is there one emulator that is really standing out atm as the best overall, plays the most games, etc? Or do each have their strengths and I might need to have a couple...

    gamepad/keyboard options

    Ok. The N64 has a lot of buttons, and in weird places. Any opinions on what is the best gamepad to go with to try and use for N64? I'm also trying to get a feel for what keyboard keys I want to assign for what's remaining as well. Hopefully I can arrange something that feels pretty comfortable...
