Update: I forgot to mention that I’m running XP, not Windows Vista. I installed Vista RC2 first, but found that all the motherboard software and speedfan didn’t work correctly (for tracking the cpu and motherboard temperatures). Also, my attempt at installing World of Warcraft on Vista RC2 failed. I realize that these [...]
Scoble wants to know what consoles we’re interested in. This is a very relevant question for me as I dropped $1100 on NewEgg about an hour ago for parts for a new PC - not a console.
I’ve been contemplating this decision for months. I sold my XBox 360 earlier this year to make [...]
This question comes up from time to time - How do you get started writing Nintendo DS Homebrew. Here’s a very brief intro:
Daily news:
DrunkenCoders
Dev-Scene
DC-Emu
Dev Platforms
DevKitPro or PALib (which is based on DevKitPro).
The DSDev / GBADev forum is a good place to start learning about the two.
PALib has a lot of great documentation and has a [...]
Using parts from a Navy DS Lite and a White DS Lite, this guy created a two-tone version. Very cool!! Here are the pics (via deviantart):
My browser order from Play-Asia arrived today.
The video reviews from Joshua Zimmerman are accurate. I don’t have much to add, so watch his videos for a more complete look. Here are my thoughts:
Pros:
The browser renders as well as you would expect if you have done any browsing on a modern PDA or really modern phone.
Non-Issues:
The [...]
Looks like the team at Penny-Arcade are working on a gamer-focused ESRB campaign. This will lend a lot of cred to the ESRB rating system. Exciting!!
X2VGA is releasing a new version of their HDTV to VGA transcoder. The first version only worked with the XBox, but the new device takes 2 standard component inputs and a VGA input letting you switch between all 3 inputs to decide what is shown on your VGA monitor. At $65, this thing [...]
We’ve been waiting for Spore since GDC last year. Kevin Burton just linked to a new gameplay video - I don’t know where it came from, but it’s 35 minutes long and Spore is looking pretty polished!!!
It’s getting terrible review scores, but Full Auto is a ton of fun. It’s exactly what I expected after reading the previews and playing the demo over and over again. I think Jonny Ram says it best: “It’s a bit like a modern day Roadblasters - lots of wanton destruction while trying to maintain a [...]
This is huge news! I saw all the links marked “Web Browser for the DS”, but I didn’t notice that Opera is building it! YES! LionMarine suggests that it might also require a gba cartridge for a RAM upgrade.
Tomorrow, I’ll have Full Auto for the XBox 360 and that’s going to be incredible. I’ve been playing the demo several times a week and I’m really looking forward to the full game, especially multiplayer.
Still, Revolution is what I’m really craving. The DS really showed me that Nintendo can take technology that’s been around for [...]
Long ago, Garry’s Mod appeared as a way to use the Half-Life 2 engine to create your own scenarios, complete with physics. Make linked to this one minute twenty second video of a Rube Goldberg Device created with Garry’s Mod. It’s beautiful.
