My guess is that he's joking. But yeah, I'm speaking theoretically; I'm glad DS games and earlier are easy to run on a normal computer.

I've done it before... but only for Phoenix Wright. So the answer is "probably possible, but mega-illegal?" Okay then.

Hm. Flashcarts would be a good way to get around it, I guess... but I'm talking about the game, when run in an emulator on a PC, destroying the crap out of the system. The average thief won't think to put it on a flashcart, and probably doesn't even know what it is.

Okay, so let's say I'm programming a DS game. Naturally, I want everyone who plays it to buy it legally. So I write code that would test to see if the input variables are Windows (or Mac, or whatever), rather than, say, DS. If the game sees non-DS buttons, it runs code that wrecks the user's machine. Better yet, it runs the code on startup, but it doesn't hurt a DS. Is there any problem with this? Other than the problem of testing the game, I mean. Would it be possible to define some variables in the beginning, or would the emulator be too confining to allow this? I wonder.

I've already seen this... it's interesting. It IS really annoying... but they could have been even worse by just making it a nonstop nightmare, mixed with the kids and bagpipes. The annoying part about the bagpipe section isn't the actual bagpipes, but instead the total dissonant, wall-of-sound-y package. It's amazing how full cymbals make a song sound.

Someone named "BardicKnowledge" should know that that isn't pentameter.

I liked the button presses in time with the music.

DAYUM, BGC. I'd hit that.

iFelicitaciones! Enjoy screwing up the answer to "how old are you" for a couple of weeks.

Not bad at all... When the electric part starts, the one constant droning note is pretty annoying, but everything is pretty. I trust you're not going to end that suddenly. Still, good job and I really really like this so far. The beginning sounded exactly like a piano until the slide note, though. I liked the first part the best.

Yeah, this is an old thread, but for anyone interested Play Music has a free demo that lasts forever. You can do everything but save and print. You can export AND import MIDIs with it, though, so you can still basically save your work by writing stuff then exporting it as a MIDI. you can then import it as a MIDI and it's almost always perfect.

I suck myself off because no one else wants to.... which I guess is basically the same thing.

Nice topic-making I slept in until 11, then got up and studied. Later, I went to Freebird's (amazing burritos, they're about a pound and a half of food) and studied again before getting running gear from my parents and money from my grandma and my aunt/uncle/cousins. It was good.

Well, it's one of the most well-written things I've ever read, and I'm not even much of a reader.

I don't really play piano (no lessons blah blah blah), but on that blessed instrument I learned the following by ear: Music A from Yoshi's Cookie http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gameboy/yc_1p_music_a.mid Some of the FFMQ boss theme (the rest I learned from sheet music) http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/ffmqboss.mid The battle theme from FF1 http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/ff1battl.mid I actually made a SHIDI remix file of it too about 5 years ago or so... (warning: terrible 30 seconds of music alert) http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/ffbatremix.mid That's about it. ETA: I forgot that I learned how to play the FF5 battle theme (best in the series, imo) on violin by ear about... whenever freshman year of high school was. 4 years ago, I think? http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/FF5_battl.mid

Laws are different in Maryland, maybe damage formulas are too.

He probably got on the guy's back and slashed him all hidden-like.

Here in Austin, it seems like we got to the closing day sale at Liberals r Us and stocked up for the winter. We could be fighting Satan and his angels to protect ourselves from eternal damnation and they'd be opposed.

Fox News will like it. It's the liberals who are all "violence is ALWAYS bad unless it's against unborn babies"

If it's Baltimore, you'll have to chalk me up as a "never." * Sorry... I will gladly go to anything in Austin, though. *At least until I get my own place etc. etc.

Would I have been able to do the same thing in his situation, I wonder? Hmm. I've had those typical machismo fantasies, but I was like 5'3 and 140 and adults still seemed BIG AND SCARY so I'd make sure I was at a distance. If the kid gets in trouble, whoever got him in trouble is an asshole. Someone was going to die, and it was eighter going to be the (presumably) innocent mom or the certainly guilty chokerr.

Plagiarism. So easy a Triad Orion could do it.

The beginning is just a really distant version of the actual song, the PIKACHU sample is annoying and the rest is just a cover with almost completly generic drums. Sorry to sound mean, but this would be a "no override." It's a decent song, but it's a violation of the submission standards because you did almost no arranging at all. Good god I sound harsh, don't I? Sorry.

EXTREMELY HlLARIOUS
