We're all hanging out in IRC, just hop on there if you want pickup games.

vBulletin search ignores terms less than 4 characters.

From a couple of weeks ago.

The IRC channel is more of an informal thing, just there to play practice games and have fun. It's nothing serious.

Well, IRC's a bit better because then you don't have to message 400 different people, plus my AIM list is 100% full so I can't add anyone new anyway. The channel's up now anyway, #ocrsnes on ETG.

We should have an IRC channel so we can all meet up and discuss...things. Like #ocrsnes or something.

Did you check the IPs of the people that edited that article? It's probably a proxy but it can't hurt to check.

Sure. You'll have to connect to me though because I can't see who's who on Hamachi (or just give me your Hamachi IP).

1) It was pretty much given that you shouldn't go to UnMod while at work/school/whatever. Anything seen there is pretty much your own fault. 2) Awesome sig, RS.

Maybe the timetrial could be an ongoing highscore thing, and we could just keep a top 10 table. Although isn't the time trial single player? I guess you could have the second player be a "witness" to report the score back.

I am officially in on this shit.

I get errors when trying to build it under both "methods" I came across. xerol@xerol-laptop:~/apps/zsnes_1_42/src$ ./configure --enable-release checking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one xerol@xerol-laptop:~/apps/zsnes_1_42/src$ sh ./autogen.sh && gmake && gmake install Generating build information using aclocal and autoconf... ./autogen.sh: line 6: aclocal: command not found checking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one The first came from a FAQ and the second from the actual documentation. I can't seem to find this "aclocal" anywhere.

Either something got messed up with the forum config, or djp's trying to make some changes.

Can anyone help me get 1.42 working in Ubuntu? I'm on AIM for another hour or so.

Well, I'm going to set up a mailing list so I can personally remind everyone every week. And possibly put up a prize, to increase interest.

Well, no matter what happens, we'll have Pick'Em somehow next year.

Finally got my computer up. Got a 10 gig laptop harddrive and I'm installing Ubuntu right now. I should be back to somewhat of a normal laptop within the next 8 hours or so.

This is probably something on my end, but I can't access the User CP in Lynx. I get a vBulletin error saying I don't have authorisation to access the page. However, I'm clearly logged in (otherwise I wouldn't be able to post).

Nope, I've gone through all of both extra partitions and it's not on either of them. Like I said, the third partition is just a screen that says "Recover" and "Reboot", of which the first option will end up formatting it. And I've come across another problem, I can't actually read files that are on the USB key, so anything I can run would need to be put on there some other way. Is there a way to 'edit' an ISO to add more files to it? Also, for the most part, I was looking for some sort of similar utility that could be run from linux. The utilities that came with the live CD all require a mounted, read-only drive, and I can't mount the data partition (I just get an error).

I'll start this out by saying Dell sucks. My laptop has always had heat problems (due to there being no kind of internal ventilation system whatsoever, save for a small fan blowing directly over the CPU), and yesterday my harddrive crashed. (I'm posting this from a friend's computer at MAGFest, but I have no machine to get online with from home right now, so it might take me some time to read any replies.) After running all kinds of tests and doing some live CD magic I determined that the MBR on the boot partition (which also has about 70 gigs of files, including all my music source files, all my code, and a ton of other crap that I absolutely can't lose since I haven't done a backup in months) is fried. I can't mount it in two different linux distributions, but I can mount the other two partitions (the Diagnostic partition, which I managed to boot to several times, ran all the diagnostics, and found NOTHING WRONG) and the recovery partition, which (when hitting Ctrl-F11 to boot to) gives me the option of either completely wiping the drive and restoring XP, or rebooting. Now here's the problem, Dell didn't ship my laptop with an XP CD. There's a utility you can access when booting from the CD that will allow you to examine and possibly repair the MBR, but I have no way to do that since the "CD" is just this recovery partition. However, I do have a 128MB USB key, and I did manage to get one of the two live CDs to recognise it. So, if I can find some tool that will work in linux to repair or at least examine the MBR, and is under 128 megs, I might have a chance at saving at least some of the data. I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon anyway, but I definitely need to be able to get back to this old data somehow. Keep in mind that I haven't really used linux much at all so I'm not sure what I'm looking for or what to do, but at least I can still USE the computer, and the thumbdrive gives me a means of storage so I can move things to it for now. I did try putting the harddrive in my USB enclosure, which resulted in windows giving a "power surge error" when it finally recognised it as a harddrive (which in itself took several minutes). Also, since after tonight I probably won't be able to get online for 2 weeks, if you can help in any way please call me, my number is (410)905-0165. I don't pick up numbers I don't know, so leave a voice message the first time, then I'll call you back.

It was probably deleted because the place for this is the vBulletin discussion thread in GenDisc. In there, djp said he knows its an issue, but they're still working on trying to get the permissions set up correctly.

And also with surprise guests in 2 weeks. Er, wait, it's not a surprise if we both tell you we're coming. I'll keep the number of people a secret then.

The wireless in the hotel sucks, so we can't connect from any of the meeting areas. We're working on a solution now.

Live now. Blahblahbalbh

I'm here. zzzz
