Hey you fucks, this is a gp32 board. Take your XBOX WAREZ OMG LOL!!!!11 crap somewhere else.
You need to calm down, just because you're a guru doesn't mean you can flame the shit out of someone who, incidently, can actually post about this topic, and in the right section as well. Especially when most of the people here use their xbox for the same stuff as their gp32s so it's hardly warez.

:angry:
What hye said.. gurus are cool and all but dont use it as an excuse to be a prick!
Some people don`t need that badge to prove it. :lol:

Look, I never asked to be a gp32 guru, and I don't really care for it. If hando takes that badge tomorrow I couldn't care less.

gp32x is becoming overloaded with offtopic crappy bloat, people asking questions they could have easily looked up on google (but since they are lazy kids they'd rather have other people solve for them) and other random junk. I don't have the time or the willpower to be wading through all the piles of CRAP on this board to find a single thread that actually interests me.

The people that started this whole scene, who have written all your software you like to brag about to your kiddie friends in school are moving away from this board because of bullshit like this. It's not this particular thread, but all threads like this that tick me off.

You mods should, instead of wanking off to the amount of posts this forum is getting, do your job and moderate all the useless junk out so we end up with some actual CONTENT instead of a zillion "I CANNOT LOAD %s, I DEMAND HELP NOW!!!!11" threads.

Thank you.

This is a perfectly good place to post this sort of thing Inopia. If you feel like eing shitty, at least make sure you have some sort of justified reason to be, and then dont be shitty anyway :p
 
Well a lot of people seem to agree with me. I'm just a bit more direct that others.

If you feel like this stick to the gp32 area of the board.

Alot of forums have an offtopic section; DC-Emulation has a much, much bigger section than this and you dont hear people crying over there... do you?

Just don't read the oftopic type forums then. I seriously doubt people are leaving the scene because there are off topic forums on this site. If they are then they seriously have ego problems.

Everyone appreciates software, and most of us have either finished education or are at the end of college, hardly going to brag at school.

Sort yourself out man.

The views of Dozer do not necessarily represent those of gp32x. His views are his own :p

Damn those are expensive, I rather just mod it myself. How easy is it to install the Non Solderless Xecuter lite or whatever?
I modded my own xbox (and a friends) with the solder version of the Xecutor lite. Fitting was fairly simple, presuming you are capable of basic soldering. After taking the xbox apart (like removing the motherboard from a PC) it involves soldering a header into some decent sized holes on the board. Then running a wire to a tiny solder pad. The tiny solder pad is a pain, but the header is like the good old days of pre-surface mount!

I'm in the UK too and I bought the chip from www.baldbouncer.co.uk. Mine came with an Xecutor bios on it, but these days they are supplied with Cromwell flash bios. What that means if you have to burn a CD/DVD with the bios image on it to flash.

<rant>
Why is there so much flaming going on on these GP32 boards these days? People used to try to be fairly friendly and try to help. Now it is always "use the search" and "google it". These are true, but if you're going to bother to reply you may as well point out a link as well!

dozer: people aren't moving away from the scene, they are moving away from this board. There's even talk about starting a new, dev-only one because ppl are fed up with this crap.

paste from the #gbadev channel topic:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Oh, well it's fair enough if you don't think the dev section of this site is up to scratch. Would make sense if you want a newbie clear area just to talk about dev. But if that's all you want you could just stick to the dev section of this site, there's only the odd newb post there.

Sorry, I slightly misunderstood. It's fair enough if you want a more experienced user, dev only forum. Makes sense to me :rolleyes:.

I don't understand why people are calling me a prick. To me, flooding the board with useless questions is being a prick. Asking questions that have been asked a gazillion times before is being a prick. Being to fucking lazy to either google or read the faq is, to me at least being a prick.

Also, I propose a basic intelligence test for this forum at signup.

Thats exactly what I did. And I got flamed for it by the guy I was helping out for answering another users question. Then I got flamed by AngryPants for no apparent reason. Not only that his flame didn't make any sense.

Newbies aren't the problem, its lazy newbies who can't try to work things out for themself. Not even that, ones that are too lazy to look for solutions to their problems which are plastered all over the place.

Listen dude you need to calm the fuck down. This is a fucking off topic section meaning non gp32 related. If you don't want to hear offtopic crap then why the hell did you come to an off topic forum. I mean are you so fucking stupid that you thought there would be gp32 related shit in the off topic forum. Anyway you can go fuck your oh so elite self because your pissing me off.
