There was even a calendar with who got it what weeks. Which was odd since they didn't really use it for schoolwork but whatevs

Awful indeed. But I loved so much flying the copter over the cities I built on SimCity 2000. I'm almost positive that I had on a pirated copy the first version which was sabotaged by one of the Yes Men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCopter posted:The game gained controversy when it was discovered that designer Jacques Servin inserted sprites of shirtless "himbos" (male bimbos) in Speedo trunks who hugged and kissed each other, who appear in great numbers on certain dates. Their fluorescent nipples were drawn with a special rendering mode usually reserved for fog-piercing runway landing lights, so they could easily be seen from long distances in bad weather. A bug caused hundreds of himbos to swarm and crowd around the helicopter, where they would be slashed up by the blades, and then need to be air-lifted to the hospital—which earned the player easy money. The easter egg was caught shortly after release and removed from future copies of the game. I can guarantee my character looked like a prostitute with a low male voice.

There is a link somewhere of what the noise actually sounded like but if I remember it was very shrill and fuzzy.

While your assumption is correct I seem to recall some sort of method that MS had for detecting hard mods toward the end of the system, but I'm not finding anything to corroborate this so I may be convoluting the details.

I want to buy a second-hand Xbox and mod it since there's no proper emulation for it yet, but it sounds like I'd need more than just a console and a copy of Splinter Cell and I'm pretty lazy about this kind of thing.  Three-Phase posted:I don't know if it's the PS2 or PS3 but I heard a rumor that you could tell where the development units at Sony were because you'd hear the programmers cursing and yelling very loudly when things were screwed up on the Dev system.

im trying to get navy seals to run on the psp and its such a pain to get running holy poo poo like on the 3ds it was straight up drag and drop. on the psp the engines ive found are literally untested on hardware and just distributed with an eboot file like 'lol you'll need the quake game data. anyways peace' mod loading? engine differences? where to put the game data in the first place? nah

I love those PS3 kits that had the bank of 8 LEDs and toggle switches. For when your neckbeard systems engineer simply insists on toggling data in the oldschool way, one byte at a time  Incidentally, if you still have access to a computer with IDE there's a 'HDD hotswap' softmod method for the xbox that iirc doesn't need any additional kit

nigga crab pollock posted:im trying to get navy seals to run on the psp and its such a pain to get running holy poo poo Man, I really loved all the cool poo poo I got my psp to do. I was bummed when I bought it because it came loaded with 1.51 or whatever firmware update it was that specifically blocked the original exploit, but it didn't take long for someone to come out with a firmware downgrader. When GTA came out and required 2.00, I had to decide whether I was more interested in portable GTA than portable Super Mario All-Stars. And then eloader appeared not too long afterwards and oh man, you mean I can have both? GTA cheatdevice was an impressive little utility, too; on top of things like invulnerability/vehicle spawning, you could crank up the clock speed to 333MHz and fix the game's lovely framerate at the expense of a big chunk of battery life. The last time I played around with my PSP before leaving it at a relative's place was in 2010 and by that point there were shitloads of different flavours of custom firmwares with different capabilities, it owned. I'd be so into a writeup on psp homebrew. Didn't realise just how nostalgic I am about it until just now. Or even how long it's really been since those days, drat.

i bought that off a guy on sa-mart a few years ago pre-modded, and i have no clue what cfw it's on or how the exploit works since everything ive ever tried to do works. i really only bought it to play snes/gba games since its probably the best dedicated device for doing small time emulation (theres also psp games even if most of them are bad) i mean its got a technically worse screen and specs than some android gamepad thing but ive never seen one that functioned better than a phone from 2008 on custom firmware (like dogshit) but hey its got a 720p screen and can play bad android games not designed for button input

hell yeah now that's what im talkin about  i ran into a few maps for something called 'pocket quake' which im guessing was a pocket pc version but they were designed with such a small memory footprint that i think the original maps didnt run at all. it's what got me interested in working on navy seals cause the maps ran better than the stock maps (most custom maps do not) and i realized how many things quake has been ported to
