how is that?

im pro-piracy fyi(as long as its not available new)
If I "acquire" a game and really like it, I make an effort to buy it. If I had not played it before, I would probably be less likely to buy it at all (occasionally I borrow games from friends and end up buying them as well).

Oh comon, it is not like you are doing the same thing.
I am allowed just as much as you to give my opinion and to me this was a useless post.
I would have reacted the same to anybody, not just you, and you know that because you are all over the place, so don't give yourself credit by saying i am stalking you.

BTW, saying i am stalking you is a very serious thing... and if you seriously think i am doing that, then by all means report me to the mods/admins here and i will gladly give them permission to read all my pm's.

Now i am going to leave it to rest here because a don't want to start some vendetta, nor do i want a mod to step in, i hope you will do the same and also stop pm'ing me about it.

I say that because , I would not have bought dual layer and regular blank dvd's , I would not have bought the 2 external hard drives , my internet connection would be slow as shit . I could go on.
My point is , I own all this crap because of the access of piracy ( I no longer pirate anymore though ) I wasted all of this money because of piracy.

Get this. Without piracy, getting a console isn't really worth it for the few games that you can afford to buy. I don't want a console plus 10 games, I want a console plus 200 games. If there is no piracy this time, next time would be worse. I won't buy a brand new launch console with new games the next generation. Next time, I will wait for the console to get older and buy it used, thereby not really contributing to Nintendo. I don't want to do that, but I can't spend all this money on brand new stuff if I can't get piracy for it later to bring down the average cost. It was piracy on the GameCube that got me back into Nintendo. Piracy on the Gamecube made me want to buy a brand new launch Wii. Loving the Wii, made me want to buy a brand new launch Wii U. I bought games before piracy came out, and I continued to buy games after piracy came out. But the way things are going, Wii U might be my last Nintendo console for a long time. I don't play all that much. There's way better ways to spend my time. I can go without the next generation. If I can't have all the games, might as well have none of the games. There are other things to spend that money on.

Man, sometimes I wish there was a dislike button. "If I can't have every game made for the console for free, what's the point of buying it?"

Just move to Nintendont, it's not worth waiting for AP removal, it's never going to happen. Nintendont is stable and in fact has surpassed Devolution in many ways already. No need to be wary.

Might as well list the many ways it surpasses devo. Because I can only think of one game that has better compatibility with nin; Zatch Bell! Mamodo Fury, which runs like at 10fps in devo with frameskip.

That's compatibility-wise but feature-wise I guess force prog, cheats and no ap also count? I don't want to count triforce games as a feature since that doesn't really work.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
