Sounds like maybe something got shorted in your SMC device. Expecially since it was a soldering iron that did it. Well anyway, I was sitting in my chair one day, and my FLU fell ALL THE WAY from my hands to my soft cushiony carpeted floor and worked fine still. Man, that GP32 is one rock solid...

Well, since it's not 1 AM anymore, I've had some time to think about how I did it before: First, change the Y position. Next, check to see if there is a collision on either the top or bottom edge of the object. If there is, flag that there is a collision on the Y plane. If not, don't. Finally...

Now, I usually don't have a lot of problems with collision detection, but I'm having trouble with it now. I can't figure out the best way to get it working! I'm talking about physics like balls bumping into each other and stuff. I can't figure out how to tell which edge is bumping into an...

I still have my old Performa 550 laying in the basement. http://www.lowendmac.com/500/lc550.shtml It's that. :) It runs System 7 I think. One of the "System"s. But I have this CD called "Tricks of the Mac Programming Gurus", and it comes with a CD that has TONS and TONS of demos and stuff of...

Ok, then my safest bet would be Knoppix. Now, I can't just use plain Knoppix alone, I need some sort of program that will read the physical drive into a hex editor type environment. Is there such a program?

Ok, I need some info before I start. If I were to hook my bad HD into my new computer as a slave, what would Windows XP do? Would XP see the messed up filesystem and try to format it or something? Or would XP do nothing at all, and when I look at a list of connected devices in DiskProbe the...

Well, see, I started also making a clone of Marble Madness quite like Gyroball, and I named it Roboll. (Originally it was going to be Roball, but I typoed the name when I saved the soundtrack module, resulting in Roboll, and thought it looked better that way. Info tidbit! :D) It was going...

Well, I was referred to this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=153973 And that'd probably require me hook up my bad HD to my new computer, alongside my new HD. I don't know if XP will recognize it if the boot sector (which containts the settings which declare whether the partition is NTFS or...

Well, as long as the topic is "weird...", Just the other day, I went to the archive and got a popup. I only got it once and never again. This was on my old computer whose HD has a minor problem that I need to fix which is causing me to not be able to access my files. I don't think it was...

So all I need to type is dd? just dd? Only dd? I go to the commandline (if there is one), push the D key twice, and then hit enter? That is amazingly simple! Now, I have to be 100% sure about this... using the 'dd' command will ONLY fetch my backup bootsector, and then replace my current...

One flu, no dead pixels whatsoever. Occasionally, a random column goes slightly darker than the others, but fades back to normal over some time. Dunno why that happens, but it happens VERY rarely. My PSP has no dead pixels, but it has a lot of dust in the screen. My DS has a dead pixel in the...

Ok, here's a news update. I have a brand new computer now, which really rocks, it has a built in card reader. ^_^ Well anyway, it has a DVD-RW drive, so I can now burn whatever I want to whatever burnable CD I want. Knoppix is free? Ok, I'll give it a shot at some point. So, I want to locate...

Does fixboot change the bootstrap code at all? I might have to just locate where the backup boot sector is and copy that into the original. I may not be able to boot windows from that drive again, but at least I'll have access to my files. I don't have knoppix or anything, and I'm very afraid...

But my problem is that my partition is really NTFS, but fixboot changed it to FAT. I don't think it altered any files, it only changed the partition settings to make it think it's FAT. So if I hooked up the HD to a different computer, more than likely it'd show up that it's a FAT file system...

Ok, please help me! We had a power surge, and my computer booted up with a blue screen. It kept booting up with a blue screen. It'd go into the "windows XP is loading" screen thingy, and then bsod. So I went into the recovery console, and typed fixboot. Now my computer isn't booting up at all...

I'd use Modplug Tracker. That's what I really actually use, anyway. :D Just a quick question... what library or whatever are you using for playing IT files in your game? ^_^

On most color LCD screens, when you power off, every other scanline goes blank, and the remaining fade after a while. On mine, there's this really spikey black bar-like shape that appears over the image sometimes when I flip it off. That's probably a result of the ram shutting off before the...

What in the name of all that is not nameless!! >_< It's probably my video card. What's your video card, and how recent are your drivers?

There are hidden items too. To collect them, you have to lauch off of a ramp while flipping. Eg, hold right as you nitro off of a ramp, and do a flip. If you're flipping while you pass over the invisible item, you'll collect it. The items are the mini-biker things, and the jet. The jet lets you...

Well I enabled 256 color mode in the compatibility tab, and I also enabled windows 95 compatibility. It still won't display properly. I'll really be sad if I find out it's my video card. :( And I agree, we need a gp32 version. :P I can extract every single graphic, sound, level, and song from...
