hey rox, we should team up to defeat TMOW! You give your soldirs, and i'll supervise.

Ok...but like I said, it may take them a while... they may even change allegiances by the time they get there... I think they stopped at some pub right now...

megaman4ever

Eh, I was sure it was going to be TMOW when I saw this suggestion had one rating, and it was a 5(not to be offensive, but you used to do this kind of thing alot=P ). Anyway, this is alot like a 'forum game' of sorts.

MEH I DONT CARE ILL JUST USE MAI KAMEHAMEHA AND RUN WITH MY SUPREME SKILLZ AND SPEED CAPS FTW!

Funny, always a top-side view, or a first person view, or just behind a player, or even from the left or right side. Never do you see a game viewed from the bottom...

Maybe I should do that...hmm...

17 Apr 2009 [comment_26041]

Roxblaster

Super Merlin: From nowhere, just came into my head.

Also Super Merlin: Probably won't- unless I figure out a way to really make it look good...but probably won't.

Tmow: Actually, their sleeping at some inn right now.

20 Apr 2009 [comment_26065]

The master of wizards

actually better yet *makes a way to spam hell for both super merlin and rox and closes it up*

please note in spam hell they deacitivate any magicial powers and make your strength zero

20 Apr 2009 [comment_26066]

Roxblaster

Luckily, they haven't banned the power of PSI-
(It's different than magic, I tell you! lol)

PK THUNDER!!!
(Blasts off the top of "Spam Hell" and leaps forth)

PK FIRE!!!
(Tmow yelps and tries to stamp the flames out of his pants)

>:D WAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
(I laugh maniacally.)

I then activate PSI magnet and crouch inside, waiting to absorb whatever Tmow will throw at me.

Oh, and I guess I fire Super-Merlin out of "Spam Hell" with a well placed...um...PK Fire, I guess. Now if he lands without injuring himself...

20 Apr 2009 [comment_26067]

Oh, and of course, I eat a Luxury Banana to regain my health and strength!

21 Apr 2009 [comment_26074]

You play earthbound?AWESOME!!!

PK ROCKIN!!!(It make tmow go bye-bye)

I use my own PK powers(PK softify) to soften the ground.

The master of wizards

hey i remember ness and whats his name his brother what was it Ah yes lucus yeah from super smash bros series except lucus only a[[eared in the last one anyway i told u apart from being in spam hell is that you cant use any form of magic and are to weak to do any physical attacks so haha and just to clarify i closed the portal to spam hell it exists in a diffrent dimension one without magic whats the place oh yeah BLACK HOLE LAND

21 Apr 2009 [comment_26084]

Roxblaster

Umm...Ness and Lucas aren't brothers. Lucas and Clause are. Ness's story leads into Lucas's for sure, but otherwise they are unrelated.

But anyway-

Fine then. I don't need magic (Even though PSI isn't). I don't even need my own physical strength. I just cream you with my New Year's Day Bomb, which creates a dimensional rift that allows me to get out of "Spam Hell" (and Super Merlin) as well as deal a large amount of damage to you. I think it's-

Wait-

No-

It can't be-

His damage level, it's-

It's over Nine-THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!

Super Merlin: What!? 9000!?!?!? Cool.

In extension, the rift I just created begins to backfire, and the two dimensions are starting to converge. This doesn't look good...

With my regained powers, I think I'll throw up a PSI Magnet/Counter/Shield/Defense-Up, plus eat another Luxury Banana.

Hey, you can't be too prepared.

Oh, and just for good measure, I hit Tmow with a PK fire. Hehe, he's got a red-hot hole in his pants now.

22 Apr 2009 [comment_26085]

Super_merlin

Yeah!! I'm free.Wait, the dimension are collapsing, I know, I'll use the birthday bomb to make a bigger rift. Cool!!A rift.Wait I'm gonna die(and so is rox).I know, I ues PK Fixify(It exists I tell you!!) to fix the rift, along with rox's shields.

Wait it's Gaigas!! AHHHHHH!PK ROCKIN!!!

PS.TmoW, PSI isnt magic!! its a psycic power!

Here's a good site if you know nothing of MOTHER/Earthbound series:Earthbound wiki

22 Apr 2009 [comment_26092]

The master of wizards

well if i sapped you of your strength than you dont have any physical powers but any way * makes a rip in space and time to the none magical zombie universe and uses magic to send rox and super merlin through it and than closes it

23 Apr 2009 [comment_26099]

Roxblaster

The bomb wasn't my physical power, dur.

Also, you're forgetting my PSI magnet- I am protect from being "sucked into a rift" or being attacked by special, pk, or magical powers!

However, Super-Merlin isn't quite so lucky...

Anyway, I use PK Love to send you flying into the air and out of the earth's atmosphere and then create an un-enterable wall around it that cannot have a rift made into it or teleported to the inside and you implode just outside the atmosphere.

Neeeee-ext!!!

23 Apr 2009 [comment_26100]

The master of wizards

on the contrare *makes a time stop and flys into the earth atomsphere picks up rox kicks him far into another galaxy than watches as the spell covers the area*

Then I PK Teleport

Me:Hey Rox. You forgot something...*PK Fires rox to oblivion.*

24 Apr 2009 [comment_26106]

Roxblaster

Wrong. I take out a rubber chicken, swing it around my head, talk like a banana, then dissapear completely- even teleportation can't track me!

Come to think of it, where am I?

shoot...

Rubber chicken, you say?
Is that, by any chance...a rubber chicken *with a pulley in the middle*?

24 Apr 2009 [comment_26116]

The master of wizards

um you do know your in space u just went into a white empty place not in the universe also since super merlin teleported hes now outside the barrier with no way back

25 Apr 2009 [comment_26118]

Roxblaster

No, I'm sorry Darren. I lost mine back on Monkey Island.... this is a meager imitation.

You know, complete and unmatchable invisibility is a little over-rated-

It's hard to tell how far you are from-OOF!!

25 Apr 2009 [comment_26119]

Super_merlin

I got earthbound its fun.

PS. I send an army of new age retro hippies to kill Tmow
PPS.PSI Teleport doesnt really teleport you.You just run all fast, so if theres a barrier, I wouldnt be able to get through.

GO FIGHT TMOW CRANKY LADIES!!COME ANTOIDS!!!

26 Apr 2009 [comment_26125]

pah. Everyone has one of those man, how could you lose it?

27 Apr 2009 [comment_26140]

The master of wizards

acually it worked this barrier blocks all outside attacks im waiting here for someone else becuause you can get out of the barrier but you cant get back in and if anything yes anything managed to get in it would lose all abilities and magic

Gnorthan, king of the nylon green pig people

whoh- huh? where's Gnorthan? Oh. Super_Merlin, be more careful with your teleporting. Gnorthan was just enjoying some MEAT. The kind of MEAT one would never think of eating. like...like...the cerebrum of a lamb. and the suction cups of a squid (better than you think).

Oh, and let's not forget: the power of Dyrf is not magic-oriented, so you cannot take it away. Super_Merlin tried that once with disasterous results.

Thanks. Unfortunately, Gnorthan is at war with France, so he doesn't have many solders to lend. Oh wait, just found one. Oh, never mind that's a hackey sack.

*solder returns*

Solder: Sir, we've lost.

Gnorthan: are you the only survivor?

Solder: No. There's five of us. We all desperately need medical attention.

Gnorthan: Can it be fixed with band-aids?

Solder: no, sir. Most of us have broken bones. Some are missing limbs.

Gnorthan: Can it be fixed with duct tape?

Solder: No, sir.

Gnorthan: How about WD-40?

Solder: of course not, sir.

Gnorthan: LIAR! ANYTHING CAN BE FIXED WITH DUCT-TAPE, BAND-AIDS, OR WD-40!

*Breaks sword in half, then dunks in water*

Gnorthan: here, you have five minutes to fix this with duct-tape and WD-40 and attend to wounds.

*hands solder box of band-aids*

Gnorthan: After five minutes, do what Super_Merlin tells you. Now move!

Solder: Yesir!

17 Jun 2009 [comment_26736]

Roxblaster

Wrong Tmow. It is a button. I am doing nothing.

And even if it weren't, you actually negated your rule.

You made the rule through an ability of making rules. But the rule states that you cannot do any abilities. Thus, the rule blows itself up, and becomes a strange glowing cluster of dandelions somewhere on a whale in the south pacific.

That being said, I use my magical duck tape ability to plaster you onto a giant totem pole, where baby ducks will soon begin to peck at your toes with blunt bills. Feel the wrath of Roxblaster. MWUHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

I like Luigi's mansion, but now it freezes when I try to go there.(Stupid Ocarina/Gecko OS)

Also, I made this fun stage where its essentially a big square with no openings except one at the top, so you bounce around like crazy. It's easy to get 999 damage.

My favorite stage is Hyrule temple, though sometimes I hate it(like when I'm losing *laughs*). I don't have a favorite character but most of the time I pick Snake, Ike or Pit.

Gnorthan, king of the nylon green pig people

why is this and the religion post the only two that get any comments?

18 Jun 2009 [comment_26752]

Roxblaster

Seven reasons.

1. This is sort of a neutral discussion area, though much of it is just spam wars, which are easy and don't take too much thought to post something...

2. Religeon is a topic that is highly controversial but necessary to think about (including whether to have one or not).

3. There is a trove of suggestions Steve or Lokey haven't gotten around to posting. (Unfortunatly, I can't do much about it- I can only approve comments)

4. Only about five people are posting anything at the time, due to the fact that it is the end of the school year and people have been cramming for finals.

5. Tmow farted.

6. Steve is working on improving the collaboration-engine-ma-thingy, so at the moment he is not really focusing on actual game elements. Once that is finished, however, we will certainly be talking more about the use of certain enemies and mechanics, etc, but for now, we just have to hold on a little bit longer till that's finished.

7. It's our fault really because we haven't been putting much time into commenting on existing suggestions. We can, but we don't. Let's pick up an old leaf, shall we?

A prophet is someone who claims to receive messages from God. A lot of old testament books were written by prophets.

*cough*
I win. Permanently.

Why does nobody ever end one of these wars like that?

10 Sep 2009 [comment_27154]

Roxblaster

Simply because that is too simple, not to mention mature. The fight must drawl on, until everyone is...well, never-mind, it goes on forever.

Besides, you didn't win. You didn't post your ultimatum correctly. Didn't you read the rules?

Act XXXIIV Part 341 Chapter 512 Page 7803921094001 Paragraph 4 Line 13 clearly states that:

"all ultimatums (such as "*cough* I win. Permanently.") mean absolutely nothing, unless given permission to mean something by a person of TMB who can approve comments and NOTHING ELSE while having a user-name that starts and ends with the same letter of the alphabet. The exception to this rule, of course, is that the ultimatum CAN mean something, as long as it means "Peanuts are salty so they must come from the sea"."

And do I give permission?

The answer- NO!!!!

So ha.

Gnorthan, king of the nylon green pig people

exactly how many solders do you have

11 Sep 2009 [comment_27166]

Roxblaster

Seven point three. The .3 is an invisible Chihuahua that can somehow evade any attack- no matter the tracking system involved.

We count the Chihuahua as a soldier because we named him Soldier. However, he does have one little problem...

Due to a misunderstanding of training the poor thing not to do it's business on the carpet, it believes it's not supposed to go...ever.

...

And that's why they shake.

(I kind of stole those last 2 gags. Don't tell the authorities, please.)

11 Sep 2009 [comment_27167]

Oh, and I was pretty sure you meant soldiers. I am not aware of how many solders I have. Too many to count, I think.

11 Sep 2009 [comment_27169]

what is truth

I am a Soul Reaper! I cut up Rox's trash can with my awesome-looking zanpaku-to, causing his brains to return to their natural state.

In other words, rox's head is now full of frogs instead of brains.

Unfortunately, Rox gains the ability to genetically alter frogs.

This results in the destruction of nuclear warheads as they go on an uncontrollable rampage for trans-uranium materials.

11 Sep 2009 [comment_27171]

Yeah, so the can is now in the soul society

He says, as I cut him with my released zanpaku-to, which is named Ichigo, interestingly. This sends him to the soul society, which is in another dimension, so Rox, you can't exactly snatch your trash can back... unless you were....

A DIMENSIONAL PORTAL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!

Luckily, McBobby loves porcine food! And he can still attack you mentally!

Hmm...

YOU JUST CAN'T!!!

14 Sep 2009 [comment_27179]

I used my zanpaku-to to deflect the mindshock at you. You dodged it, but you did not notice the porcupine I had placed near your foot. You trip over it into spam hell. I also place a magical barrier around spam hell that is impenetrable from the inside or outside.

I use my army of kung-fu ducks to defeat your army of whatevers and then throw a weird celebrity at you. Maybe Keira Knightley or Hayden Christiansen. You're stunned by their bad acting. They are pretending to be thrown through the air, but they just can't sell it.

I think you over-simplified, WIT. And I think you're pretty blind as well. You see, that wasn't my army- it was a bunch of cut-outs- and the so-called *stunned me* was a wax figure. Good try, but no dice.

Now...

"You cannot comprehend the true form of ROXBLASTER'S ATTACK!!!!"

(WIT falls to 1HP. OOPS.)

Now Super_Merlin...

"Throws smelly socks at him"

That's for the Rockin! Now I forgive you.

(And I totally see what's happening...*grins all evil-like*)

16 Sep 2009 [comment_27192]

Super_Merlin, you're right. I'm not being very imaginative. So... I shroud myself in my cape.

I dunno why, it just looks cool, I guess.

Hmm... thinking, thinking, thinking... Ah! No...

Alright... I summon Blarney, the mutated Irish purple dinosaur.

His appearance sends the earth in chaos and cracks earth in half, which completely skews gravity.

Actually, I have absolutely no idea what this accomplishes. Maybe I should have thought this out first.

*Earth shakes. I get thrown into the sun and mutate into a superhuman with all the powers of the human torch, who incidentally, wasn't human...*

Then I start flying around making a four in the sky for some reason before incinerating the entire earth.

I'm siding with WIT, because as of yet he has less allies than Rox.

17 Sep 2009 [comment_27196]

Super_merlin

I used bullhorn. "WIT, your mother is calling". And WIT believed it.

HA!

Anyway:
"*Earth shakes. I get thrown into the sun and mutate into a superhuman with all the powers of the human torch, who incidentally, wasn't human...* "

So that's why everyone fled to the nowhere islands, which are also the "now here islands" incidentally.

Oh and sorry WIT, you just got chowed by this:

17 Sep 2009 [comment_27197]

Roxblaster

GASPS-

MY TESSIE!!! YAAAAY!!!

You messed up the way the page is displayed, but who cares? I don't! lol

This might lead into a whole new form of picture war-fare here...

AND IN SUCH- I WILL PERFORM SOME DUTIES!!!

1. Never. NEVER post pictures that are extremely violent or explicit. The post will be deleted, and Steve definitely will be informed. Capiche?

2. Don't post things that are insulting to race or religion, and be careful when posting images of real people.

3. Keep your pictures smaller than Super_Merlin's. He actually went right up to the limit of making it annoying to read the page. This is courtesy, friends.

Now, I don't think for a second that any of the long-term metalboxers will do any of these things- frankly, I don't believe you need to hear it. I am reiterating these rules here for the purpose of those new to the site. This is, relatively, family friendly. If something bad is posted, it can't be deleted. Use discretion. If it seems shady, don't post it. (Not referring, of course, to dynamic shading)

Now, to break this tension I'm sure I just created-

I slap Hobbes on the head with a newspaper. Then trip him. He falls into a cake mix. The giant bowl starts moving slowly toward the oven by means of a conveyor belt. I laugh maniacally as he tries to escape but can't because of the thickness of the cake mix. It's marble, and there is EXTRA fudge.

Sweet revenge indeed.

18 Sep 2009 [comment_27199]

Hobbes

mmmmmm cake!!! Just then my Cossack army descends upon the conveyor belt, destroy it and said cake without harming me!!!! Then I send a regiment of them on Rox. (that is, after I sheild them from Pk powers of any sort)

18 Sep 2009 [comment_27200]

Roxblaster

First off, I teleport away, of course.

Then, I gloat...

Why?

Because you walked right into my trap!

Suddenly, all entrances and exits to this cake place are shut. Locked tight, and reinforced. Cake batter starts gushing up out of nowhere, and the room is filled with it. The walls start glowing red hot-

WELCOME TO THE REAL OVEN!!! HAHA!!! YOU'LL HAVE TO DO BATTER THAN THAT!!!! GET IT? BATTER? INSTEAD OF BETTER? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough* ahem.

Will they escape? Tune in next time to see the exciting conclusion of today's feature!

Hhhhhmmmmmm.... think think think..... GOT IT!!!

*Whips out inter dimensional portal rifle* (or IDPR) *fires at the floor* *Orders the cossacks into the portal* *then I jump through* *shortly I reappear with a vintage trashcan I found in the 74th dimension* Hey Rox I've got a deal for you! I'll Give you this vintage trashcan if you'll quit trying to make a cake out of me and my men!

(note: the IDPR and the portal it creates are tamper proof. The destination of the portal cannot be changed by any outside force, only use of the IDPR it was fired by may change it. Nor can the destination be reached by any other method other than use of an IDPR.)

Rabid Merlin

you know, school and football practice get in the way... but so does trying to find a new computer after i spilled some gatorade on it... Lets just say i'm glad i back up my data.

ANYWAY, back to the important stuff-

Lost and confused, the Rabids (or Rabbi) realize that they forgot to set their alarm clocks and were late.

Hungry,ashamed, and with their health at dangerously low levels for lack of cake, they teleport back to the Rabid HQ, and eat their fill of... Medikits. But be warned, the rabid HQ is completely nuclear bomb and giant evil baby-proof

Yeah, I guess I see your point, el numbero (sorry, I can't be bothered to copy out all the numbers).
It's not what it was. But we still have fun in our own way.
Trouble is, for reasons beyond anyone's control or blame, MR isn't really happening much at the moment. So while we're waiting to see if it can be continued, we might as well do something.

Roxblaster

WAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! IF I DIED, I'M BACK FROM THE GRAVE!!! WOOOOOHOHOOOOHHOOOOHOOOO!!!!

Ahem

Well, I didn't die, and I am extremely busy, but neither of them is the reason I've been off the site. My computer has been down for about a month (or is it longer? I stopped counting) and I was waiting for a package to arrive to get it up and running. Well, it arrived. About two weeks ago. And my mother is rather set on making sure it is "set up correctly", so I have to wait till she is not busy (and she is very busy). Because of that, I have been confined to using computers with slow internet, so I have only been using them to do schoolwork and such. I happen to be using one of those today. But do not fear, for if all goes well, my computer should be fixed this week! And I can resume activity.

So in short, sorry about the wait, and it should be over in a few days.

And seriously guys...ONLY 62 comments? tsk tsk

Ah, but see Super Merlin- I refine my comments and make them meaningful.

Most of the time, at least.

And to show the multi-tasking-ness of my comments, I am going to

1. Dip Darren into a vat of cold chicken broth
2. Throw WIT off a cliff into a bunch of fancy pillows
3. Force TMOW to eat a WHOLE JAR of peanut butter...including the jar
4. Slap Super_Merlin over the head with a handkerchief
5. Send Steve a box of imaginary muffins (he is my boss, after all)
6. Laugh maniacally, WAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

See how much I can accomplish with only 1 of my comments?

Hey, people.
I know this isn't what the suggestions database is for and what I am about to do is essentailly spamming and plugging and all that is unholy, but that's the point of this suggestion.

This concerns people in the UK mostly. No idea if there are actually any people from there here but it's worth a try.
I'm sure you've heard of Children in Need. Heard of ChartJackers? Some youtube people from the UK have got the whole internet to collaborate with them to make a song which they are selling for Children in Need (it's where all the proceeds go) and they're also trying to get it into the UK charts, so if anybody's got 70 or 80p to spare...

Gaspeth? Using the Spam Page for advertisement!? IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED!?!?

Well, it is spam, I guess. So...why not take advantage of it?

Anyways, this is a request for any Wii-Moders out there. Fulcon, an esteemed member of the Zelda Universe forums, is trying to organize a large group of people to make a completely fan-made "Master Quest" of Twilight Princess. They really want to change the dungeons around and introduce new mechanics, so if you felt TP wasn't quite up to snuff, well, here's your chance to change it. If you are/know any Wii-Moders, kindly direct yourself/them to the following link. Hehe...link. Get it?

http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/gamecube-and-wii-zelda/102562-attention-all-tp-haters.html

It's pretty obvious you would have to join the forums to participate, but you can at least view the thread and see what it's all about. And remember- the whole thing is pointless unless we can find Wii-moders.

On that note, I seal Hobbes inside the Golden Realm.

24 Dec 2009 [comment_27482]

Super_merlin

Well, being a wii modder myself, I am interested, but unless all they want is change health, damage values, or textures, this is really hard without the source. If you beg nicely to Nintendo, they might release it. But I doubt it.

24 Dec 2009 [comment_27483]

Roxblaster

I believe they have already taken that into consideration. But at any rate, being able to mod the wii at all makes you a valuable team member. If you feel up to it, go on over and tell Fulcon what you can do- I'm sure he'll be glad for the help. If you want to wait and see how many modders will turn out and if this will even be able to happen before you make a commitment, tell him so. If he asks where you heard about it, my user-name is The Great Deku Frog.

12 Jan 2010 [comment_27533]

Well see Darren, I figured that out. I programmed in to the club (with my awesome powers of course) to follow this algorithm.

If Ci = Club Immortality and S_mi = Super_merlin Immortality, then:

S_mi(5000) = Ci

Therefore:

Ci > S_mi

Thus the club wins out, after a huge explosion involving purple lasers and cheddar.

So, if immortality gets to his head, I'll bring immortality to his head. See?

It's an AGP Radeon 9600Pro Advantage 256MB.

17 Jan 2010 [comment_27547]

Interesting. Sounds like a nice card. I'd say it could be an ATI chipset but manufactured by someone else. ATIs are interesting cards on Linux. There are open drivers for some of them, closed for others and none at all for others.

Is it google earth on linux or windows that hates it?

I have a question for anyone who might know the answer. (Then again is there any other kind of question?)

I was wondering does anyone know if windows 7 would be good for gaming? I built a computer not to long ago for gaming and just general use.
It currently has vista on it which runs pretty good but has some major compatibility issues with older games, I had heard that 7 was made so that it could run older programs as well as newer stuff.
Is this true and would it be worth it to go ahead and update to 7?

23 Jan 2010 [comment_27558]

Roxblaster

Here's what I've heard. I don't know about how Windows7 plays games, but I do know that there have been many problems in upgrading. Many say (especially if you have an older computer) that you should just update it when you get a new PC, avoiding all complications.

My uncle agrees with this, and he's normally well informed on this kind of thing, so that's what I'm doing. You don't have to take my (or rather, his) word for it, though.

In other news, I can scarcely believe it, but this spam page is getting increasingly useful.

23 Jan 2010 [comment_27564]

Well, Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate have the XP Mode. Home Premium doesn't.

23 Jan 2010 [comment_27567]

Well it's definitely not old nor out dated, but I have some questions.

1: What kind of complications/problems?

2: Super_merlin: Where did you hear that? Just wondering.

And 3: Does anyone on here use 7?

23 Jan 2010 [comment_27568]

The main problem was buying the system, only to have it not install for whatever reason. But that's all I can tell you for sure, sorry.

24 Jan 2010 [comment_27572]

Hobbes

Would it help if I gave you my specs?

My Reason for asking (if I should update) is, that I have a free update to "Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit" from Microsoft because I bought vista so close to the release date of 7, I have until the 28th of February to use it.

I'm really not the best person to say whether you should upgrade since I have never use Vista on one of my PCs and only have win 7 RC running in a virtual machine.

BUT I can tell you that win 7 is good.

and I can tell you that I've heard that Win7s XP compatibility mode doesn't support 3D. So it might not be the best for old games.

My recommendation would be:

back up everything on your hard drive.

Wipe the lot

use an ubuntu live cd to create a nice big NTFS partition, that fills half the drive.

in the other half of the drive, create three partitions

install XP for XP games

install vista

upgrade the clean vista install to win7 for newer games

install ubuntu

You now have an awesome triple boot computer that covers 99% of what's worth having in the computer world. You also have a nice big NTFS partition which can be accessed by all of the above operating systems.

Only thing you're missing is mac osx.

Yeah, but the only way you'll be getting OSX is if you go Hackintosh or you buy a Mac.

Mac isn't worth it to me anyway. To many things it can't do.

So can ubuntu run windows stuff? I haven't heard much about it yet, save that programmers like it.

1 Feb 2010 [comment_27649]

Super_merlin

Well, WINE can run some things, but not all. You can also use VirtualBox to run Windows.

2 Feb 2010 [comment_27653]

Or you can partition your hard drive and dual-boot so it runs windows AND linux.

Even if XP mode doesn't work, you can always install virtual box (on windows or linux) and run XP in that.

What is virtual box and how does it work?

6 Feb 2010 [comment_27677]

Super_merlin

Hobbes: XP Mode will work.

VirtualBox is a program that lets you run another OS inside of whats already running. Basically, it runs a full OS in a window.

Here's a picture of me running XP inside of Ubuntu 9.10. http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6ed6532d11.png

Note: Since My Computer has pretty bad specs (CPU: 1.4 GHZ. RAM:1GB), I made XP use the old Win9x graphics to speed it up a little. It's still XP though.

So, how do you install xp (or any other O.S.) on virtual box?

6 Feb 2010 [comment_27679]

Hobbes

Is it free? If not how much does it (virtual box) cost.

7 Feb 2010 [comment_27682]

Super_merlin

VirtualBox is free. There is also a slightly stripped down Open Source Edition, if that matters at all to you. If you don't mind using non-open-source software, use the closed source one.

The thing to remember is that VirtualBox fuctions exactly like a normal computer. So, to install Windows XP, or any other OS for that matter, put the XP CD in the tray, and boot the Virtual Machine. It will boot from the Windows CD, where you can install as you would normally. Just remember that the Virtual Machine CAN NOT touch your real hard drive. The only thing it can touch is the Virtual Hard Drive. So when it comes to partioning and such, remember that you are partioning the Virtual Hard Disk, not the real one.

I have a few questions.

What is a virtual hard drive?

I've heard that running an operating system on VB will not run as fast and won't be able to do as much as putting it on your computer regularly. Is this true?

Would it be stupid to try and run games on VB set up with xp?

Will the 32 bit version of xp run on VB even though my processor is 64 bit?

What are the Pros and Cons to VB open source?

And call me an idiot but. What is partitioning?

Sorry if most of if not all of these are stupid questions, I'm rather new to this kind of thing and I REALLY don't want to screw something up, I just got this sucker back up and running after six months of troubleshooting and repairs.

8 Feb 2010 [comment_27684]

Super_merlin

No problem!

A virtual hard drive is a file (in VirtualBox's case, a .vdi file) that, to the operating system running in VirtualBox, (also called the guest) appears to be a hard drive. For example, let's say I'm installing WinXP. When I make the virtual machine, it makes a Virtual Hard Drive. You can select how big you want it to be, and a few other things, and then it makes the VDI file. When you start the Virtual Machine, Windows XP is installed in that VDI file. The Virtual Machine is blind to anything that is not in the Virtual Hard drive, so you can't see/mess up any of the files in the OS running the VirtualBox(called the host).

Inotherwords, you install XP. The VDI file becomes the C:\ Drive.

Next: I've heard that running an operating system on VB will not run as fast and won't be able to do as much as putting it on your computer regularly. Is this true?

This is true, as the computer has to run two OSes at once. However, if your computer is fast enough, it shouldn't have too much of an effect.

Next: Would it be stupid to try and run games on VB set up with xp?

I'd say it definitely worth a shot. However, you should try to install a few games during the 30 days you have untill you have to register. If you register, and your favorite games don't work, you'd have to buy Windows again. So never register unless you're sure you don't mind locking that copy of Windows to that computer/Virtual Machine.

Then we have: Will the 32 bit version of xp run on VB even though my processor is 64 bit?

I don't no for sure, but I'd say it will. You just might have to mess with a few settings so Vbox emulates a 32-Bit CPU.

Now: What are the Pros and Cons to VB open source?

Pros: It's open source :) If you don't care about this, then remove this.
If a bug is found, it can be fixed by anyone, even you, if you know how. Also, it will be fixed much faster too.

Cons: It's a little more limited.. For example, no USB support. HOWEVER, USB mice and keyboards will still work, as Vbox takes care of any mice and keyboards. As for like a flash drive, this won't matter. You could just open it in linux, and transfer it from there. But, if you need to use some USB hardware that doesn't work on Linux (not much) then you should use the closed source one.

And now,... And call me an idiot but. What is partitioning?

Idiot!(Hey, you did tell me to). Just joking. Anyway, hard drives are divided into "sections" call partitons. A raw HDD consists of pure unpartitioned (i.e. No partions) space.No file system, no nothing. Just a metal platter. You can make a partition on it, make a file system on it, and then you could use it. You can multiple partions ("sections" on a hard drive. So, you could have two OSes on the same disk, each on its own partition. Two or more OSes on the same partition do not get along well. So, they generally install on their own partition. However, to make there own partition, they need to resize another one (assuming there is no unpartitioned space. Otherwise, it would just make the partion there).
And resizing partitions is VERY DANGEROUS!! So, it's not a thing you do just for the heck of it. On a Virtual Machine with a Virtual Hard Drive, you don't need to worry about that, as it is not the real, physical HDD.

So, any questions! :)

9 Feb 2010 [comment_27686]

Super_merlin

Honestly though, I would recommend doing what Steve recommended you do. His idea is a bit better than Virtual Box. Virtual Box is best for testing things out before you install for real. I'll admit Vbox is really cool, but it isn't for hard core use like gaming. It's more for helping people who HAVE to have .

We'll guide you through with step by step instuctions whatever you choose, so time to pick!

And since you said you don't know much about Linux/Ubuntu, let me tell you some stuff.

1. It is insanely secure. You will not need anti-virus/spyware, or a firewall. You will not get viruses. Period.

2. The sky is the limit when it comes to custimization. You can do whatever the heck you want.

3. It's GUI is a bit like the DOS based Windows. In other words, the GUI runs ontop of the command line. So, if the GUI fails, you get dropped to a command line, which leads to the next tip.

4. Linux forces you to learn about it. While it's simple enough you grandma could use it, give her a while and she'd be writing shell scripts. Also, the command line is Very Powerful. You can do anything from a command line that you can do from the GUI.

Once again, we'll guide you through everything, so good luck. Oh, and I would alter steve's tips a bit. I would do a fresh install of Win7 instead of upgrading Vista. If you can do that without messing up the Master Boot Record. Wait for Steve to see what he says in the matter. But I can tell you this. INSTALL UBUNTU LAST!!!!!!!

A friend of mine recently installed windows 7 and Ubuntu as a dual boot.

He was happily bashing away at it, installing programs and getting it all set up, and then suddenly realised after three days, that he had not installed anti-virus. Ooops!

Sure enough Win7 had caught a virus and would no longer allow him to install anything even in safe mode.

He booted into Ubuntu and installed the Linux version of Avast anti-virus. He used that to scan the windows partition. It found 8 viruses. After that he was able to do a system restore and now Windows 7 is back up and running.

Continuing on the Linux stuff, I got a SD card.

I use it mainly for two things - Dingux(linux port on the dingoo game console) and HBC/Linux(home brew channel on the wii).

It worked fine, but ever since I installed HBC on the same card, Dingux has refused to boot. It loads into the text-output console with the linux penguin logo, then after a while the screen starts flashing, and the latest output was 'Kernel panic'.

Any idea on what could fix that? It obviously conflict's with the HBC, perhaps because there is the linux for wii in the HBC directory.

The chromium seems interesting. My memory stick's quite a bit too full, though.

Steve, Dingoo is a cool little handheld gadget, that emulates some game consoles and probably plays your favourite sound/video file on the go from its 4gb HDD or your miniSD(or micro with adapter), that you can also install linux and alot of community-made/ported software on. For just 82$ with shipping, I think it's an awesome deal.

And the community is growing, and probably it will become quite a powerful platform with more and more software coming all the time!

Dingoo-digital.com <- the website to download lots of community stuff, and also has the latest news

Dingux.com <- linux blog. The kernel is quite complete already, and I haven't seen new news for some time now.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20217 <- the place to buy one from. I got mine, and I've read around 90% of the dingoo boughts are made there. Seems safe and cool. It took four months to arrive, but it was christmas, so the delivery companies must have been really busy though. You should be able to browse for a black one too on the same website.

My own opinion:

It's great for the price. Consider a DSi and this - you can mod this much more and you don't have to pay the whole console's cost for just one game on the DS. And taking I'm much into retro-gaming, I really like it. GBA or PSX aren't all that retro either. For a handheld, emulating PSX with 40+fps is quite good. Not a wimpy machine by any means! It also can be used as an USB->SD adapter for your computer. Uhh, the great thing is that you can get a video cable from it to a TV or even better - a projector and play your favourite classics full-screen!

The console is quite small, but has a firm grip and the buttons aren't squishy. The shoulder buttons are quite good even though they look kinda unusual and the image quality is great. Although it is a LCD screen, which means that it's hard to look from the side. At some times you'll find accidentally opening a file because the D-pad doesn't tell you that well if it's in a diagonal position, but it's quite a small inconvenience.

Ehm, that was a review rather than just my opinion then, I guess. Oh, whatever. I'm loving it. I played Zelda: Spirit Tracks through on the DS I own and after than I've been only using this. That good. Much smaller too - easy to keep with you.

One thing you should watch for if you do buy one is the screen - it seems it could crack really easily. Also, the charging thing is really awful, since it's the chinese standard. Atleast was for me. You just have to plug it in your computer to charge. It may seem to take a long time to charge fully, but that's because the battery can last un-overclocked 6-8 hours. And with Dingux, Snes can be underclocked to about 320mhz with no lag, while on the native OS Snes has some lag even with the max 430mhz clocking! Such a power save!

Lol Dodongo.

Any game can be free if you download it illegally. As I already said:
Dingoo-digital.com <- the website to download lots of community stuff, and also has the latest news
You can get legal software from there.
All the original Linux stuff should be legal, but you know, the main weight of the games - NES/SNES/NEO-GEO/GBA/GBC etc emulation is often made illegally. In a way though, their free. Usually any game that you can emulate on your computer is compatible, although the PSX has quite alot of issues with the games still, as you could expect, probably.

I know dealextreme isn't the most trustworthy site you can get, but it sure is the cheapest(to buy this from)! I dunno if you've ever had any problems with it, but I and anyone I know by more than online name hasn't.

Yeah, I heard about Pandora when I was considering buying the Dingoo. I know Pandora is much more powerful and has quite alot more possibilities, taking all the stuff it has - touch-screen and keyboard, for one. Yes, it's still in the making. Also, if you don't mind all the fancy stuff, just want to play Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda or Bubble Bobble or Street Fighter or(the list goes on) I'd say Dingoo is quite alot better. I think that the DS+Dingoo is quite alot better combination than a Pandora, and costs around 50€ less, I believe. Not to think that as of now, the Pandora's production will still take some time, and the Dingoo is developed more and more. Since the Dingoo also has already a large and growing community, I think we will have to wait quite a time before we start to see Pandora having hacked operating systems or Linux kernels or anything.

I'd prefer a cheap laptop over Pandora. And use my Wii for gaming at home. And Dingoo on travels.

I guess it depends on what kind of situation you have and what consoles you own at the moment. And what kind of budget you can afford.

I think that the 500+ games I have on my Dingoo right now are more than enough to keep me entertained for many many years. I dont see why get a few newer ones by getting a Pandora, since I probably won't be playing them much anyway. Dude, my name is megaman4ever and I still haven't beaten Mega Man 1-6 yet! Excluding 2 and 3! But they were kinda easy!

All and all, my decision was that Dingoo>Pandora. The Pandora will probably grow, but at the beginning, there will probably be that one year after release before people even get around to start making homebrew/mods to it, and at that time Dingoo will have even more lead in terms of that.

Pandora is quite an interesting machine anyway. Kinda like my table computer, except more capable in everything. Anyway, I already have the laptop and dingoo, I don't really see what 'new' it could bring to the portable goodness.

EMULATING GAMES YOU DO NOT OWN IS ILLEGAL!!!!!

7 Mar 2010 [comment_28174]

megaman4ever

I already stated this - "the main weight of the games - NES/SNES/NEO-GEO/GBA/GBC etc emulation is often made illegally."

Also, even if you do own the game, it may be illegal to emulate it. Further up, you are allowed to emulate certain games or other software even if you do not own it/have a hard copy.

Examples using dialogues!:
Illegal emulation while owning a hard copy of the game:

Merlin: "I have this cool program I can play mario on wanna come to our place and see?"
Berlin: "Oh wow, I remember playing that game when I wasn't even 200 years old(assumtion)!"
Merlin: *Boots up an emulator* *loads the ROM dump of the cassette*
Berlin: "Oh, coolio! But isn't this illegal? I mean playing a game with the big N's copyright?"
Merlin: "Dun worry, it's k. I have the real disk too, but my NES isn't in all that good shape so I rather play with mah computer!"
Berlin: "I don't see an ROM dump extractor on your computer."
Merlin: "Oh, I thought it's legal if you own the game?"
Berlin: "You may have a copy of a game you own for backup purposes. Every game has an unique signature tag. Since you got this ROM from the internet, it has a tag different to yours, meaning it's not the same game as you have in that disk! You don't notice any differences in-game, but since you haven't extracted the ROM yourself, it's illegal(because it's not the same game without the same tag...)."

Merlin: "Oh, I guess I'll just have to try and keep all sush about this! I shall delete the ROM and it'll be somewhat okay."
Berlin: "It's good you realise your mistake and that what you did isn't legal=)"

Example two! Emulating even when not owning a 'real' copy of the game:

Merlin: "Hey bro, want to come to our place to play this cool NES game on my computer?"
Berlin: "Didn't you learn from my lecture last time? It's illegal!"
Merlin: "Woah, chill out dude! It's completely legal since the guy who made the game licenced it as open source - the game is D-Pad hero and it was made by some NES addict, probably. Anyway, the license allows us to emulate it even though we don't have a copyright to it and we don't have a copy of the game!"
Berlin: "Oh, I didn't know you could make your own NES games! Well, if it's licenced as freeware, I don't see why we couldn't play it!"

7 Mar 2010 [comment_28175]

megaman4ever

Actually, I have to say, if the creator of D-Padhero reads that, I'm sorry if I offended you by saying that it's made by some NES addict.

Anyway, I really don't know - there are alot of mixed up thoughts on whether it's legal or not, but from what I've gathered(and I've done that quite alot! Even by mailing Nintendo, but there are differences per country) that's the real thing. Emulating is done about 99,85% illegally right now, at least! Well, that's my estimation. Probably by something more like by 99,998%. But I don't know=D

What I wanted to point there was that emulating is probably done illegally for everyone who go around this site, out of those on this site who use game console emulators. Anyway, you are warned to try it out on your own risk. If you don't really mind breaking the rules that hold the world up, be my guest, buy a Dingoo and download all the games you can. Atleast the good ones.

Yeah, I know, doing stuff like that isn't right for me as like it isn't for anyone else here, but I really couldn't care less, since I can't find NES games in the stores anymore or anything. Actually I never have seen a NES game in any store since I'm quite young, actually. In any physical store, that is - the internet is a whole another discussion.

Yeah, after posting that comment I digged around more, specifically on the pandora wiki, and noticed I maybe underestimated the machine a bit. Anywayyy, I don't think my opinion is invalid, since some of the companies(namely perhaps ASUS and Apple mostly?) are making so small laptops. I don't really know much about that either, since I'm not considering getting a new laptop.
