If you have a TV and dont want to play games on the go then buy a SNES for less than £5 from ebay or your local 2nd hand console shop (my mate picked up an N64 + 2 pads for £4 from a 2nd hand shop). Mario Kart, F-Zero, Street Fighter, Castlevania, Mario, Bomberman, etc. all games for the GBA that are on the SNES and SNES games wont cost you £30 (more like £2 - £5 ).
I have a GBA and thier great for on the go but there is no way I would pay that price to play it on a TV almost $80 for a TV adapter that's obscene! Americans can get a Dreamcast + games for about that cant they??? |

Nah! 1 SNES (£5-£8) Multitap (£2) Super Bomberman (£2-£4) Street Fighter Turbo ( £2-£4) Mario Cart (£2-£4) + 2 or 3 crates of Stella (£35-45) = a Saturday of complete mayhem for 4 people. much better than one guy at a PC with a flimsy PC joypad (and I personally wouldn't want a load of drunk mates any were near my PC).

The actual GBA screen is crappy, and playing great exclusive GBA games on TV is cool.

80 is a bit steep, but this device is good. There are exclusive GBA games, and you cant compare SNES F-Zero to GBA F-Zero... the GBA game is so so so so superior!
Keep in mind this accessory needs you to make a small modification in your GBA, so you better buy a spare unit for home :P |

screw paying money just get an emulator i recommend...
Visual Boy Advance - http://vboy.emuhq.com and if you need roms... go here... Link Removed and... get yourself a serial link and flash reader cartridge, buy a 64mb flash card and chuck a load of games over to your GBA, works like a treat!!!! Last edited by Ian; 15 December 2001 at 00:30. |

I removed your GBA rom link.
We're not part of the emu-warez scene yet, just a bunch of retrogamers |

so akira, you've never, ever used pirated or software that you don't own the original license to?
WinUAE and Fellow have both been designed for use with the original copyrighted kickstarts, back-up is no excuse now as ElSPA recently decided that because we have stable storage media, back up is not to be used! Okay, so maybe your using a Real Amiga or whatever, but like it or not your in a scene with alot of ex/pirates in it! sorry.... |

Of course. But remember that emulating an Amiga doesn't nescesarily have to be for the purpose of doing something illegal Djay.
I understand what you mean about it being a little stupid to emulate when you have a real one. But take me for example. I have an A500 which for a good while didn't work because I had no way to connect it to a TV. I still had the original Kickstart rom, but could I use it? NO not without an emulator. Then take memory. I have an A1200 with a harddisk though but still no memory upgrade. Emulating more memory would be beneficial as would emulating a larger harddrive. Plus with emulation you can easily alternate between different tasks. These two are just examples of ways to use an emulation. I'm not saying I don't have any pirated software. I do have. Actually the kickstarts I have I downloaded illegally from the net and afterwards went to buy the real things. |

DJAY@WORK
working in the computer industry, right from a base level you see many forms on piracy, sometimes people don't even know they a commiting a crime! so it's very hard not to be involved, if you don't like piracy just don't do it! |

...
How many people use photoshop here?? How many have paid for it? According to Adobe, only 5% have licenses for their software. I can guarantee that a vast majority of people on this forum have that piece of software. |

I use Gimp Win32 for all my image editing needs, even though it's prone to crash (atleast on my setup). But I'm not a graphician so I don't know how it compares to Photoshop, which I've never used. Still, free is good enough for me!

I simply can't WAIT for a native OSX port of GIMP! C'mon you coder types! Not all of us can afford PhotoShop!
