Okay, I still think you're going to get punched for being a deliberate jerk way more than you will be for asking something stupid. Or I grossly misunderstand people.
Sure, the kind of ribbing that goes on here usually won't result in violence, but pretty standard trolling elsewhere might. Hell, some of the stuff anon does could very well get them killed if done openly.

Maybe, but if you limit the times that they are being punched because they are a jerk to the specific cases where they were being a jerk in response to someone being ignorant, I think you will come up with a number much closer to the amount of people who get punched for being ignorant.

Mmm...
An interesting topic has developed here.
I would like to say that that i didnt write my post as a personal attack on anyone. And i certainly dont want to take the moral highground over anyone. I just felt sorry for the poor lad who wanted to ask what he thought was a simple question, and got totally panned for his efforts.
As for 'have some fucking manners'. That was supposed to be a joke too (in the style of gordon ramsey!) I would have thought that the juxtaposition of the word 'manners' with the word 'fuck' should have made that clear. I do apologise if anyone was offended by the language. But that brings me to an interesting point:
The subtlety of the spoken language gets completely lost when printed. Things that we say to people face to face that would be just 'matey banter' can come across as downright rude when printed.
Which reinforces me original point: we shouldnt flame these hoobs that ask questions that seem to us to be stupid. A simple 'please use the search function' would suffice.
The word 'geek' is an interesting one. Most people see it as an insult or derogative comment. However those who are badged with the title of geek seem to be proud it. They often see themselves as the under-appreciated scholar, who is in fact well schooled in their own particular domain, although that domain isnt fully appreciated by society. There is nothing wrong with this. But there is a negative aspect that creeps up in the scene; elitism. A certain desperate edge to prove your 'metal' in the scene.
I am a self confessed geek; i love retro computer games as much as the next man. However i am not under the illusion that it is any way, shape or form, important! It certainly isnt worth insulting some kid if he happens to ask if you can play N64 games on your machine!
Right, thats it! Was i ranting? Oh well...
I'm off to listen to 'the ebony and the ivory' now...
Oh why cant we all just get along (man)

^ I understood what you wanted to say 
I've seen worse newbie bashings on GP32X in the past though and I think it's slowly moving in the right direction. I don't think the OP's question was stupid, just uninformed and in the wrong section
Whatever, we shouldn't take this all too seriously. Making jokes and being sarcastic makes things interesting at least.

You didn't mean it to, but that's what it sounded like, and thus you have learned a very important lesson first hand: it is very easy for what you say on the internet to be taken the wrong way, and some people ARE more sensitive to insult than other where none was intended.mazz said:
You thought wrong. I refer you to the same type of people that argue that apple juice is not a liquid and therefore doesn't void their warranty that I so very much wish to punch in the face sometimes.mazz said:
edit: I refer you to them as a joke because they also tend to be the kind of people that use curse words as punctuation.
Except there was no flaming in this thread at all. The closest that comes is Jourdy making an obviously joke (obvious because of the smiley face, the fastest and easiest way to show emotion in print) followed by a lot of "that's a good idea but what about the screen"mazz said:
At least, there was no flaming until the original poster came back and responded to Jourdy in apparent seriousness, and then you suggesting that we should stop flaming the poor guy.
That's what bothered me most about your post. You're saying not to pan the guy for asking a question, but I don't see anything that could have really been taken as anything other than explanation, acceptance, or an obvious joke. Point me to the post that warranted your rant so that I at least know what was actually done wrong so we can consider correcting it in the future.

I think the real problem with this thread is that some people are joking about and others are taking these jokes as full-on trolling and attacks. None of you seem to be able to tell when someone's being serious. That's why I'm ashamed of everyone here but Exophase.
That's because it's not his fault: he's always serious, he's fucking Exophase.

NO! I don't play basketball
lets get this conversation back to punching in the face. way more interesting imo.
seriously where do you live GG? the projects of detroit? Getting punched in the face is fairly difficult. Most people try to avoid fights and when a fight does actually break out people generally do all that they can to avoid being punched in the face. yes its the main target if your in a fight (unless your outmatched, then the balls are a good choice) but its also the last place you want to be punched in (besides the balls), which makes it a hard target. In fights I've been in or seen, a face punch is rare and devastating.
like those ignorant vaporware twats?God Ginrai said:

Um, can we get back to our original problem? Which was displaying the two screens of the DS on the one screen of the Pandora I believe...

I'm glad to say that I possess none of the traits you describe, though. Elitism is a bad creed, methinks.

Guys, forget being punched in the face. We're getting a 3DS Emulator!sebt3 said:
Last edited by a moderator:
just for the hell of it.....the 3ds only has one analog stick, so it would be very awkward to emulate it because you would constantly have to keep both thumbs on the pandoras analog always pushing them in the same direction to get the right results of one analog

Yeah, but that's kind of a recursive meme all by itself...Exophase said:

I think that if we get past this, as with the NDS emu, then a 3DS emulator will likely be simplicity itself. After all, the only really hard part will be the screen, yes?
Well, the 3DS has a slider on the right hand side which controls 3D depth - we could just force that to output no depth at all while emulating. Problem solved! There's also the possibility that we could scale both images down and set them side by side on the Pandora screen - then just cross your eyes (or go parallel if that's your bag) to get the 3D effect. The real problem though will be fitting all three screen images on the Pandora screen at once, but that's simple if you use TV Out. Those lucky few that have a 3D-capable TV could have the top 3D screen on there, too.
So really, the screen is no more a problem than the NDS emu has, and like the NDS emu, once it's solved then the rest will be easy. We just need a nicely optimised dynarec.
