I MUCH prefer the songs in III over the songs in II.

There's no way I'd pay $15 for a VC title that's locked to a specific console.

I don't know what you mean. But I saw this some where: Most Atari 5200 games will work in Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 systems. (totally untrue). He's referring to the fact that the 5200 and ColecoVision have adapters to allow play of 2600 cartridges on those systems.

The CC2 is most definitely a form of emulation. It uses different parts than original to emulate those different parts. Will it cause the 7800 to play differently than the parts it replaces? No. That's why I'd personally rather use a CC2. It replaces lots and lots of parts.

That would be really cool if it were wireless for those of us with CC2s.

I didn't know though so thanks.

As long as their is a good market for this type of system it won't disappear.

I just tried it with Frets on Fire and it worked flawlessly.......well except when I accidently moved the guitar while setting the cancel button. Moving the guitar then kicked me out of the game.

I've got the 360 version with the wireless guitar. I like the song list a lot better than GH-II. I'm just glad I got the wireless gaming receiver for PC for the 360 controllers a few weeks ago. I'll have to see if it'll work with the guitar and Frets on Fire.

how bout rapidshare, filefront or one of the many other free hosting services?

Consoles killed the arcade market.

I just saw the box for one of these in Best Buy. On the outside it says it includes 5 games AND demos.

Don't forget Pacman too. The 2600 version totally rocks.

I played Wii sports when I visited my brother and I was underwhelmed as it only seemed good for parties. I also love college sports games and you'll never see another one on a Nintendo system.

I've only got one original Xbox game and it works fine. The game is Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. The only problem I have is being forced to turn off the music every time I play the game.

Have you contacted the seller yet? They may refund your shipping back to them. If they don't give them the negative feedback they deserve.

Linux probably has too much overhead for a proper game system OS.

I"d never buy a game because of the achievements but if they're in there I might try getting some of them just to see if I could do it.

5 people wanting a cart doesn't mean there's enough interest to make it worth Chad's time.

This reminds me of Steve Jobs whining because of music DRM. Well of course he'd love to sell music without DRM. He's just a distributor. EA used to sell stuff for the PC but the console market is much larger. PCs are a perfect example of how not to do things. There are so many different companies making computer parts that people trying to play games have issues with them all the time just getting games to work right. Oh and EA quality wouldn't go up by getting rid of platforms. They'd just be able to layoff a lot of workers.

To troubleshoot I would: 1. Check to make sure I have that homebrew/hack in my games folder on my MMC. 2. Check to make sure the name of that homebrew matches what is in the menu.txt file exactly (to make sure single click on the file name and copy it then paste it into your menu entry) 3. right click on the rom and click properties to see what size the file is. 4. Make sure the rom type has the same file size in it. 5. If it still has the correct file size in it and still doesn't work I'd find another entry in the menu file that had the same file size but other different letters. (say for example instead of HSC_32K I'd change it to 7800_32K). 6. Make sure I have the correct bios for the rom type. if it's 7800_32K I'd make sure it was using the 78BIOS. If the rom type is HSC_32K then I'd have to make sure the BIOS is HSC.....etc. Lastly, make sure you tab between entries on a menu line or you'll get errors when creating the .CC2 menu file. edit: One more thing. If a game is a hack of some other game it's most likely going to use the same rom type and bios as the game it was hacked from. I'd say the exception to this rule would probably be Pacman Collection as I assume it's a larger file size than the original but I'd have to check.

Save points are only for offline games so who cares if mediocre players can suddenly get through a game? They aren't "cheating" anyone but themselves.

They're simply rebadging the core unit and throwing in some other stuff for a different target market. What's wrong with that? It'll still play all the games. If those who buy one want to shell out money later they can get a hard drive.

Sure, for about 10 people.

It only takes 2 serious bidders to bid something up really high.
