    I couldn`t get it to run on a NTSC NR-Reader either :-(

    But saying that I just thought I didn`t flick the US-JAP switch to try both....but even so can`t see it running :-(

    BTW you can burn NR discs with a std DVD writer.

    Is that *any* DVD writer, or the "standard DVD writer" that is the Matsushita 9501 SW SCSI which is the NR writer drive with "normal" firmware?

    ACL does initialize the bba. maybe not earlier versions of it though.

    as far as a dev studio using it, no way. the performance these loaders gave was too crappy (no offense, great work on the code aftermath) for professional dev. it also wasn't all too compatible with retail code. debug code would be even worse. Besides all that, you'd need to compile a gcm each and every time you wanted to run your code. it'd make more sense for a developer that was limited to an NR reader to write his/her own app that can load a DOL through the network and use the PC for filesystem. I'm not saying pro devers don't use homebrew tools, but the ACL loader is by no means a development tool.

    maybe it was an inexperienced homebrew dever who got his hands on an NR reader and wanted to run some code though. more likely, i think it was one of you crazy collectors who got one, and wanted to warez some games. you guys never fail to amaze me spending ridiculous amounts of money on dev machines (that someone could actually put to use) only to come and ask how you can get it to play retail (or sometimes copied) games.

    You aren't Nintendomad in disguise are you? I may need to check some IP's...

    Seriously though, who gives a shit what someone uses it for? if someone buy's it to to stick on their shelf, is it any "worse" than some monkey coding a "hello world" program using illegal SDK's?

    I don't know who nintendomad is. Is it really so unlikely that more than one person thinks this?

    But you're right, theres more than one type of person who buys them. There are those who buy to stick on their shelf...

    And then there are those who buy because they're interested in "dev" via some VB class they took freshman year. So, thinking that a slightly different looking, non functional console will help them learn something, they buy one. Then, after it sits on their shelf for a few months, sell it to buy some other expensive/useless product.

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the people who buy rare items and share them with the world. But for *some* people its more about monopolizing large amounts of rare items, setting up a forum that ultimately does nothing but promote insanely priced ebay sales, under the guise of an information site (with complete misinformation everywhere, and a lack of support for those who actually know/want to know any real info).

    When it comes to sharing or actually contributing to the community, such a person might never contribute a thing. However, whenever he needs to get a random, copyrighted piece of software to go along with whatever he's selling this week (virtual boy, gamecube, PSX DEV DTL-H201A, etc) he can always expect his loyal forum-goers to give him some free crap. This'll make his auctions seem a bit more complete and raise prices a bit. It will also give the chump who bought it the piece of mind that hypothetically, he could one day code something, like his heros at nintendo, etc. However, it'll sit on the shelf until he's sick of it.

    And so the cycle of life continues. Happy assembling.

    Yep because anyone who thinks they can do something useful with a dev kit is more worthy of one then anyone else...


    someone tell EA that please. While they are at it please also tell everyone that has money in a savings acount that they arent worthy of it and it will be given away to other people tomorrow. Oh dont forget everyone will be donating a kidney too...

    I said its pointless. I didn't say that it should be illegal to have a kidney/savings account/$500+ dollar shelf decoration.
     
  14. Get me an IP check, I want to be sure this isn't an old member in disguise. :smt042

    I love it when this occasionaly happens - we get a newer member who comes on and slags us all for being pretentious assholes with our collecting hobby and makes a value judgement on what sort of people are more deserving to own certain types of equipment - and therefore comes across as far more pretentious than even the worst of us could ever hope to be! :smt043 :smt043

    Oh well, I suppose we were due - it's been a little while since we've had to deal with this - the cycle of life continues indeed.

    EDIT: Checked, this guy's legit. I guess I'm slightly relieved that we don't have any chicanery going on right now, but this means there's one more of these types out there... :no

    Yay, someone who generalizes the entire board!!!

    Sad you forget to mention the people who buy this stuff and actualy use it because they very well have the means, access and knollage to do so.

    Bitterness is a terrible thing.
    Narcicissim as well.

    I suggest you go elsewhere from now on.

    I suppose you think only you should own these items; your far superior coding skills and ability to "use" the items makes you better than people who dream of making their own games. These individuals might not have skills, but they have aspirations. Whether or not they are fulfilled is up to the owner.

    I suppose all dev related items should cost you $1, or be free. And somehow I am holding back all sorts of items and free information. I control the horizontal and the vertical.

    Now for the reality.

    The reality is I took out totally ruinous loans to buy the items I am selling off now. If you are so upset, grow a set of balls and sell everything you own, borrow every cent of credit you have, and take a gamble like I did.
    Spend $1500 on a server that is free of ads, rent a $2000 warehouse.
    Drive two hours a day to get to the warehouse. Hire employees because
    you are sickly and cannot lift anything. Rent trucks at $100 a day, and
    be sure to create a company in the process, another $5000.
    Spend $1000 on quality packing supplies and bubble wrap. Make sure everything you sell for $1 is packed well so it never gets damaged.
    Now mail all the packges yourself.

    Gamble like I did because you saw past and legacy about to go into a trash can.

    If you think I'm sitting here on a throne of cash and eating caviar, you're out of your goddamn mind. If you think I am sitting here with $15,000 in immediately due bills, you're closer.

    Most sellers on ebay part out kits. They want to make the most money.
    I make sure what I sell is as complete as it can be, because I want people to
    be able to make games.
    They can come here and ask for tools and help.

    Ask for help on a board that isn't critical of newbies, it tolerant of questions and
    eager to help without airs or pretentiousness.

    If you fee you can do better, please do so. But until you do, it's just whining that someone else owns the toys and poor you doesn't.

    with legit do you mean the member or is that just a expression ? cause iam getting a little confused here

    @elgr i dont know where you see the problem iam member of this board and that only for a short time but many of my problems where helped in this forum without any hazzle about my background or whatso ever
    i got very good help on my 3do m2 dev system and also regarding a playstation 2 system so i dont know where do you see the problem with getting advice here

    @assembler when you are done with all these sales and trades and got time you should think about creating a photobook with pictures of the rarities that you have or had in the past

    maybe that could even help to get income for the server i saw something like that at cgtalk.com but thats a much more visited site then assemblergames.com
     
  18. "Legit" from legitimate of course - we all know what a screwball our Legit is, but he's not crazy enough to have multiple personalities with their own screennames (we hope.) ;) :D
