Bugger... tried everything to get an .img or .iso file from my Devil Dice disc - not happening for me. Can't use CloneCD as I don't have windows, and I can't get it working under Wine (can't see the driver). Creating an .iso from a psx disc using dd (linux disc dump) appears to be a well known...

Ah... saw the 'discussion' about that! Been here a while, even though I don't post often, so am aware of many of the personalities. Always found your comments very constructive. But to be honest, this thread was already 21 pages long by the time I got to it, so only skimmed and must've missed...

Great Emulator, been messing with it tonight (r4). Tested a couple of games... all PAL (50Hz), freshly ripped from my own black cds to bin/toc using AcetoneISO. Running emulator at 700MHz, using EU Playstation bios. Blast Radius – Runs lovely at 50 FPS! Colony Wars: Vengence – sound and...

Just started with this... great piece of software. Using my new Pandora, but my main GP handheld is the Wiz (Have a GP2X, but just couldn't handle that stick!). Is it possible for me to replace the gp2xmenu with the Wiz one? I see the readme says that this should be possible, but it is of...

Well, I got mine Saturday and have had a few days with it (quick review!)... Pros... Very solidly built. No problems with my case! Nubs are lovely. Make navigating the Xfce a breeze. Would never have considered using the second nub as mouse, but works great! Just like a full desktop. Used...

I've thought about this but no... it is all part of the fun. I have a friend who is a bird watcher, she worries about the loss of habitats- doesn't stop her! It has it's ups and downs. For example, I am sitting at the moment playing Final Fantasy IX. Again. Sheer Bliss. Gaming has me. It has...

I'm sure you've all seen the 'Kid Goes Crazy when Mom Cancels World of Warcraft Subscription' video on youtube or wherever. I feel that the Sony engineers must feel like this kids mum when OtherOS is brought up. 'Why the hell did we let him have it in the first place?!?' (sorry for double post)

To simplify... I have a console, which I paid for. I use it to play games which I choose and pay for. Some of that money pays the people who create and allow me to play these games. They create, test, publish, distribute, these games so that some of the money I pay goes to them to feed, clothe...

Just read about this. No- not happy about the suing at all. Will not solve anything, only make matters worse. They have also decided to sue the FailOverFlow (sp?) team, it wasn't them who released the security keys. Mr Holz did, once he saw that someone else was getting some publicity, I'll...

Well, as I said in my rant - there was no homebrew scene on the PS3 with OtherOS, at least not one I could find. No-one cared. I think they made the mistake of letting an engineer initially design the PS3. Now we go back to the norm - consoles designed by accountants.

I'm sorry, I still find this astonishing! No wonder Craig was stressed about the tax man visiting. His accountant and/or business manager must be having kittens. I've read this wonderfully insightful nugget of inside information on the pandora manufacturing process in many posts and it cracks...

@Com64 - I suppose the DS is a positive example of about rampant piracy not killing a machine. I read somewhere that the attach rate in South Korea is less than one; that is, there are more machines sold than games! I've been in game shops and seen kids with their dad pointing at DS titles and...

I have come to a stark and upsetting conclusion about my life. I have too much invested in this hobby. I've got that feeling again in the pit of my stomach – that feeling that my gaming future is going to much less bright than I thought. I got this feeling when Rare were sold to Microsoft, when...

I am disappointed that Ed's vids have come to an end. Even more disappointed that FUSE or GP2XSpectrum never got a look in... but what can you expect from a C64 fan?!? No need for X360 vs PS3... bring back my playground battle of ZXSpectrum vs C64... that is real retro gaming!

I'd been looking at programming for the pandora. I've only really used BASIC and variants in the past, principally on my ZXSpectrum, and later my Amiga (yes, I am that old!) I went through the same considerations. Python is quite nice, but you'll need Pygame as well. I bought a book ('Game...

Who'd have thought it?!?

Edit - ***Solved!*** Sorry, everyone, my bad... found that some packages, including g++ and make are not included in the standard ubuntu distribution, a quick sudo aptitude install build-essential seems to have solved it for now! Thanks lulzfish for replying! /apology Hello all I was...

Well, I am positively anal about indenting code, but in python you don't 'end' the block, e.g. Like a silly times table (please ignore any syntax errors!) Python: for f in range(1,13): for g in range(1,13): print (str(f)+" x "+str(g)+" = "+str(f*g)) exit Basic: for f=1 to 12 for...

I had a look for PSP7 on ebay following ledow's recommendation, but there are no 'cheap' ones here in the UK (all 20GBQuid +), and buying online direct is the same - pity! I have no 'hate' for python - far from it, but it has idiosyncrasies that keep tripping me up! The duck typing keeps...

In the 'good old days' you understood how the computer worked. Playing a game on a ZX81 or spectrum, you could knock up a game yourself in a few days, which were not too far removed from what the commercial games were doing. Even on the Amiga you could still see how games worked, for example...
