What game are you playing? Depending on the game, you might not be getting the best experience.

My cousins have an nes 2 (with original rectangle nes controllers for some reason), an n64, a gameboy, a ps2, a couple xbox 360s and a wii. I set up their wii to use emulation so they don't have to plug in the nes anymore. For the most part it isn't a problem (although the first time I used save states, one of them thought I was cheating :P), except for Duck Hunt, because fceugx for some reason doesn't like 1p-zapper 2p-controller. It assumes both ports use the same controller for some reason.

As for myself, I've been spending most of my gaming time plying free and open soruce games, like super tux, super tux kart, red eclipse, dungeon crawl stone soup, freedroid classic (not that I care for it that much :P), pingus, frozen bubble, minetest, battle for wesnoth, etc. I like the feeling of having complete control over my games without worrying about copyright. I run these games on Linux, naturally.

My family has dozens of small 8mm film home movies. We separated the 3 inch reels into "batches". The first batch was given to yesvideo for a dvd transfer around 2003. We recieved the dvd, and got the film back, albeit in two large reels instead of 10 small reels. For whatever reason, we never got the second half of reels digitized. I would like some suggestions as to what to do next.

I have no experience in loading film, nor do I own any kind of telecine or capture equipment. However, I have heard that homemade transfers, when done right, can look better than companies like yesvideo, not to mention being uncompressed and in higher resolution. However, since I have no experience, I am afraid that I would ruin the film if I did any such thing.

What do you suggest? Buy telecine and capture equipment and do it myself? Give the second half of reels to Yesvideo? Give it to a different company known for high quality restorations?

was the writing on wall

I meant to say replies, you Grammar Nazi you.

:P

Leonard Nimoy has been hospitalized.

 ...what?

Handman said:

This troubles me greatly.

 Why shouldn't it? To do otherwise would be illogical.

Handman said:

I hope he gets well.

 I hope so too. I'm pretty sure all of the Star Trek fans on these forums will hope so too.

Nimoy, you have certainly prospered. May you live a little longer...

Still better than half the replys replies DrCrow gave...

3 gigs for 720p footage? Isn't that a bit small?

I'm sure this was mentioned earlier but I want it explained again anyway...

I wanted HD DVD to win because it was less strict copyright wise, but it doesn't matter now :P

You didn't answer my question. What do you want recorded?

What shows are they? If a show is popular enough, a tv rip will be uploaded to torrents within a weak.

Time out, who is Leeland Chee?

Thanks to 123Bracket, UK's top

Lens flare is one of the reasons I think Into Darkness is better than Star Trek 2009. That movie was horrible with lens flare.

Thread...derailed.

I could go on about the various formats for the ultimate combo device, or I can post this image about the perils of necrobumping

I hate it when people necrobump on unmoderated forums.

XP? XP is dead. It died less than a year ago. Unless you are a risk taker and installing the unofficial sp4 patch based off Windows POS Ready 2009, or are a retrogamer playing games that wont run on Vista or newer, or are willing to replace it with Linux, there is no good reason to keep XP on your computer. Vista wasn't too bad after SP1, and I think Microsoft still gives it security updates, so there is no good reason to downgrade to XP. If anything, you should have upgraded to 7 or newer.

Oh, and necrobump -.-
