Crazy paranoia. I mean, it's not as if a standard GC (or Vipered GC) can even read a NR disk. Whereas an Xbox with the debug Bios or a modded PS2 can read beta code. I think it's shocking that Nintendo can treat the staff of games mags like children, not trusting them with anything. I understand they need to protect themselves, but surely the NR disk itself is enough protection? EDIT: I'm actually surprised that Nintendo haven't chained the touchscreen pointer jobbie to the DS, to make sure someone doesn't pinch it.
well StarWolf it is possible to rip an NR disc and make it work on a chipped cube. I don't know how.. but I've seen an beta flowting around on the net for the cube.. but this is an littlebit extreme handing over the systems like this lol.. but unfortuatly there are allot of unprofesional 'journalist' who do need such an case....
Chastity Belt. He he. *Smirks. Gave me some sort of weird mental image. But yeah, Nintendo has always been like that. That's why they stuck with cart in N64, then that's mostly the reason to the weird but ultra-cute minidiscs the Gamecube uses. I wonder, though, if this ever happened to the Virtual Boy. That'd have been HILARIOUS.
Right under the visor, up the lower front of the unit. On the black part of the "glasses" part, from the front. I tried to draw it in Ascii but I think it got ordered to the left. Which means You're gonna have to Imagine it. WAIT, no, there's a way. http://www.virtual-boy.org/virtual boy.htm (This is a board member's site, right?) It's on the front part, not the part you see, but the part that faces to the front. Under there.
The first thing I thought of when I read "NR-Reader chastity belt" was... GO GO GADGET NR-READER!!! sorry... Interesting read though.
LOL, I have seen this somewhere else before but never an article about it, perhap's it was on these forums.
This isn't limited to game consoles, I've also heard of DVDs and CDs being shipped around in locked DVD players and Walkmans (I seem to remember that somebody even sends out players with their disc in them that are GLUED shut).
