desparate measures, ghetto results [improvising]

:witless:
yep, one of them.
driven to absolute despair (in gaming realms) because nintendo in their INFINITE STUPIDITY and sheer disrespect to the gaming community (devs sucking em off, you bear the burden of GUILT halfed) PUKED up a wiimote, but it's the UTTER LACK of optional peripheral support that pisses me off.
wanting to play tales of symphonia 2 on the wii has been an ordeal.
was about to drill this white length of shit through my TV, an 'idea' hit me like a bullet in the tool, why not combine a wiimote and nunchuck to make a, horrid looking thing, but pure functional, may even have a shot at metroid 3 now? (i think?)
below is the act of pure insanity turned into a force for good! :smile-new: (and works out surprisingly well for the above game)


^^ so what have you been forced to do in order to play a game where NO amount of practice was worth a piss? (carpeltunnel, rsi...etc)
please post your 'ghetto' peripheral solutions that helped you get through a game. nthego:

 

How is it Nintendo's fault that Namco didn't support the classic Wii controller?

 

^^ because they grant the required license for devs to commercially release on their platform...
and thanks for chipping-in, fuckin love this place! :|

 

Nintendo doesn't require for a game to be any good for licensing otherwise the Wii library would be way smaller. What do you mean by your second sentence?

 

isn't it blindingly obvious?

the subject.
i asked what improvisations users pulled off to play a game, not a sidetrack.
must be something about the subjects i create? not sure if i'm making them clear?!

 

The 2nd thing you said made me believe you were being sarcastic and lamented my responses. I suppose I was going off topic, but it irks me when people spout ignorant nonsense so I drop in and correct them. On topic: AVGN did a stupid controller hack job for one of his videos. I wasn't necessary but it was mostly done for the humor.

 

^^ ninendo fanboy.
nothing i said was ignorant but on the mark.
put it this way, if you was able to code and write software for wii without a commercial license (NOT paying to nintendo BRAND royalties) do you think nintendo will sit idly by without their cut?
doubt it!
this subject is officially toast.
can a moderator please nuke it, thanks a lot, and apologies for creating a thread! (i fuckin try, i really do but....????)

 

Amiga why do you always have to be so mean?

 

Came here thinking this thread would be about the PCE Shuttle. Was very disappointed

I tried to make a homemade gameboy magnifier as a kid. It worked for about 5 seconds before falling apart. The weight distribution was far from even anyway.

 

^^ sorry about that.
icons are no representation of content, just the banner. at least with me anyway. :wink-new:
thanks, it's exactly what this subject is about.
recall trying something similar with mag-lights when i was in my late teens.
strapped a pair desk/circuit clamps to the sides of ngb to hold the maglights, worked like a charm, if i little too bright...and cumbersome. :witless:
[edit]
non related TUNES! (helps me focus)

Haggeman - Bottes Vernal Dance nthego:

 

I also remember trying to make a similar thing for my GBA, except it was something to light up the screen. My results ended up about how yours did haha.

 

The license for developers has nothing to do with the developer being lazy and not including classic controller support.

 

okay, lets try again.
nintendo DOLE out 'licenses'...
the Q.A .went down the pan.
true, the devs are lazy, but is speaks VOLUMES about nintendo's Q.A.
they clearly have no standards, they call the shots.
if i'm to take em seriously again (ngc days and beyond) they require a STRICT code of conduct (and quality of work) before handing out a dev license.

 

There's a reason I forfeited. He has his head too far up his ass. Or he's trolling.

 

^^ if you have point, don't hold back on my account.
saying what's on my mind.
if that's head up arse or trolling, so be it.
this place user majority are children anyway, guess it makes me one for partaking..:witless:
[edit]
and thanks again for your award winning contributions to the subject...NOT!

 

The Quality Control has nothing to do with them, as with ALL consoles. All they make sure is the product works.

 

^^ my point EXACTLY!
they don't give a piss as long as it 'works'...that's NOTHING to do with Q.A. and control...(aka: pass the buck to make a quick-buck)

 

amiga1200, you SERIOUSLY need to moderate your attitude if you want to remain a member here.

We have intelligent, adult discussions here. You brought up a subject with childish language and insults about Nintendo. Expect people to ask you to justify your claims - DON'T have a go at them for asking!

Here's how an adult discussion goes:

Person 1: Here's my opinion. discuss

Person 2: I disagree with this part of your opinion. Care to elaborate?

Person 1: Why certainly! *elaborates*

Just about EVERY post you make where someone doesn't agree with you, you have a childish tantrum and insult them and often the whole board. It has to stop.

Consider this your final warning.

 

Not to mention his piracy signature.

 

understood.
i'm not part of this community anyway, nuke my account.
intelligence is perspective.
gotta be honest, nowhere do i get the sense of division as i do here!
i don't upload to here (which is my sole contribution) so any post created is pure rubbish anyway.
don't fit in here, no loss if i'm killed!
[edit]

^^ get your oar in, love how it's nothing to do with bollocking.
