    Nintendo DS

    So I lost my DS today.

    With Supercard DS-ONE in Slot 1 and Supercard MiniSD in Slot 2. :cry:

    I had it in my bag as I was going to work this morning, but carelessly left the bag in a store. I later recovered the bag, but the DS was gone...

    I guess there's nothing I can do now but pick up the pieces... I remember a few pages back someone was selling their old DS; do they still have it?

    Edit: I'll be going back to the store tomorrow morning in case some employee took it, but... well I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Either way you'd sacrifice a lot of sound quality, and there's two reasons that immediately gets rid of any reason I'd want a portable CT (obviously though if it were the only option then I'd get it anyway, but):

    1. All the music would be muffled, tinny, and just bad sounding in general, and the music is extremely important to the mood in that game.

    2. The sound for Luminaire would get screwed up! That's one of the best sounds in a video game ever.

    I think the bottom line--if I'm not mistaken--is that SNES emulation on the DS is still in its infancy.

    See http://dev-scene.com/NDS/Emulators for a list of emulators and their progress.

    Bwa ha!

    Anyways... The rooming situation on my end is...

    - Geoffrey Chaucer

    - Vilecat

    - Pezman

    - DJSammyG

    - Myself

    I will personally be sleeping on the floor, mainly due to back support reasons...

    Yeah, sorry I got squeezed out... Ah well.

    I'm still on the market ladies! --or, um, men... :oops:

    My ride situation is worked out, but my rooming situation is not yet...

    EDIT: Rooming situation:

    - Me

    - Pezman

    - SammyG

    - Vilecat

    - (Tauce) - Depending

    - ??? (your name here?)

    Hey, I'll take that "???" space since I already know most of you. --Sorry Moguta and Chris!

    It's a double room I assume?

    Again, I don't know at the present time (and probably won't until December) if I'll be staying all 4 days or just the weekend. :whatevaa: If it complicates matters, I can always find space elsewhere.

    Hey, this is a cool idea.

    I unfortunately don't want anything right now (the SNES is tempting, but maybe later...) and the only thing I'm currently looking to unload is my copy of Crash Bandicoot 2 (EB won't accept it since it's sans case). But this is a cool idea nonetheless. :350:

    Edit: What games for PS1/2 do you have?

    Fuck yeah, I'm coming! :-D Last time was a blast.

    Just started a new job (w00t), so I don't know if they'll let me take Thu. & Fri. off or not. But I will be there over the weekend somehow.

    Escariot: As my parents are in Harrisburg, I might go see them first and catch a ride with you--or vice-versa.

    Edit: lol @ Larry's corpse.

    What NES game should I play?

    Hm. Any way I can get an NES controller to work with my computer?
    I bought a NES -> USB cord online for about $20. I forget where, but look around the net for it.

    Adding to the list, personally I like Bomberman 2, Paperboy and just last week I tried Baloon Fight (the game the WarioWare series continually shoves up your ass :roll:). As simplistic and arcade-y as it is, it is a pretty decent game FWIW.

    Also, since we're talking emulators, look up a ROM called Dance 2000. It's an attempt to make DDR for the NES. :lol: It only half-works but it's pretty funny.

    Edit: There are also interesting homebrew ports of Tekken 2 and various Street FIghters.

    Edit2: How did we get this far without mentioning DR. MARIO?!

    The previous version sounds more like a manifesto; spelling everything out. I don't know... I feel it's sometimes good to be specific, but I guess it's all summed up in the main website heading anyway:

    "This website is dedicated to arranging video and computer game music. Our mission is to prove that this music is not disposable or merely background, but is as intricate, innovative, and lasting as any other form."

    So the edits get a :nicework: from me.

    I recently bought a DS accessory pack that had a stylus-tip that you strap on to the front of your index finger.

    I don't know if it would work well in Elite Beat Agents, but just a thought.

    Anyone tried out Nervous Brickdown yet? It's a Breakout clone and then some.
    Yeah, I picked it up not too long ago. Only tried Arcade mode and haven't made it very far in that but it is enjoyable, even if it's only a small step up from Arkanoid (same falling-pill power-up system and everything).

    It's a bit annoying to have to follow the ball across both screens (at least it is on my original DS) but the graphics are nice. Kind of reminds me of Tetris DS--minus the retro-Nintendo elements of course.

    OCR-Tan

    I have a few of the OCR-Tans saved on my computer; I'll probably upload them tomorrow (just got back from my vacation and still tired...)

    Great to see that cosplay though; I'll be heading over to the Otakon thread to catch up once I have some energy. :sleepdepriv:

    Edit: Don't know why I didn't see Pixie's picts before I posted, but all I have to say is :nicework: !
