    Busted CDX. Advice?

    It's old, but I got a free model 1 SCD once that refused to spin discs. There were 3 screws on the back of the CD block and by turning the leftmost one slightly I got it to read again. Not sure if the CD block in the CDX is the same, but there's probably something similar. It could be the...

    VCD card shorting/blowing out mod chip?

    Got a similar setup (VC2 instead of VC3 though) and under normal circumstances, you should be fine running both the chip and card at the same time. Looks like you've done just about everything you can already so if you decide to reseat the card and it fries your chip - yeah it'll stink to be...

    Help!!! Sega Saturn Modchip, installation in a Japanese white Saturn!!!!

    Wow, that's a new one! I've honestly never seen a chip like that one before. Just curious, do you have the link of the place you got it from? Page 2 of dj898's link gives a good rundown of modchip problem symptoms to check against, the cubes in the bios can be especially telling. Some...

    Saturn VS PSX?

    While 3D, best example I can come up with that shows how ports or recreations should have been would probably be DOA. Both versions look good, run well, and were built from the ground up to take advantage of console specific strengths. Here's a rare case where the 'better' version may be...

    360, PS3, or?

    Judging from your post, it almost sounds like a used PS2 would be your best bet. Make sure whichever console you get has titles you actually are looking forward to, not just a bunch of ok ones. Otherwise you'll just be in the same boat again in a short while. I think of it like: For which...

    C4 - 2007 discussion

    Just to be sure, the contest was extended right? :happy: Hey, congrats man! Sounds like you've made good progress in no time. Now I'm curious about just what it is you're working on.

    King of Fighters 95, 96, 97 (Sega Saturn)

    Ah, classic SNK Ports ... let's step back in time with some reflections shall we :) -- About the games themselves -- ('95) Wow, what a game this was and being able to edit your team just made a good thing that much better. The artwork in this game is verrrry nice with the bold color bands on...

    MOD Player for Sega Saturn

    Well it’s always encouraging to see new ideas for homebrew. Considering some of the other stuff that’s been done, it is kinda odd the Saturn doesn’t have a MOD program of some sort yet. My only concern is that the time and resources spent on something like this might be better spent...

    FINALLY!!!! Border Down is comming to me!!

    Good game. I agree that it's nice break from all the bullet hell shooters. But the thing I like most about Border Down is that it actually feels as though your enemies want you dead. There are SO many games that despite having a lot of shots onscreen, you can't help but think the badguys would...

    C4 - 2007 discussion

    My better judgment tells me that I should skip the contest this year. I mean I've got school, work, and I'm gonna be a dad again any day now. But God help me I just can't say no to another C4 contest. Besides, I've got some new tricks that I can't wait to try out, and also wanna see just how the...

    Lurkers!

    Guess I'm a lurker as well. I visit at least a couple times a day, but hardly ever post. Man, I really wish I had more to contribute to the site.

    Saturn Music

    Son of a ... I just came back on this and it turns out using the sound tools to convert midi really works on a mac emu (Basilisk II). The SEQ manuals state that you're supposed to insert midi events #0 and #32 at the start of each track in your song / sfx. No problem ... except that I just...

    Structured 3D

    Nice! Glad you enjoyed the demo! :D I'd love to take part in this year's C4. It'll be great to be able to just focus on coding an entry...and I'm really curious to see what others are gonna do (some stuff you guys come up with just blows me away)! Win or lose, this sounds like fun!
