Mind repeating it in Portuguese? I'm just curious. It's too stupid... so, I ask that any other brazilian members around forgive me for propagating something so stupid... It goes something like: -Conhece o Mario? -Que Mario? -Aquele que te comeu atrás do armário! Which translates to: -Do you know Ma...

You know MARIO? Some time ago there was a widely known joke (a retarded one at that) here in Brazil that started with this exact question, but it makes no sense at all in english... EDIT: Just to stay on topic: I think disassemblies are great to learn from (research), but I don't see the point in r...

If at all possible it'd be nice to avoid, because some of us have problems getting BitTorrent to work.

Legal issues aside, are they really being hurt if I download a copy of Magical Doropie? No, but Vic Tokai is, in theory. (Why does a Google search for this title turn up a ROM site before a review?) And if The Tetris Company's anti-clone arguments are anything to go by, Capcom is being hurt because...

It's not illegal to make a copy for backup purposes, but since pretty much nobody ever makes a backup of a cartridge, Nintendo in its infinite wisdom has decided that it's okay to tell people that backup devices are illegal across the board. How Does Nintendo Feel About the Emergence of Video Game E...

Bug 2: When I enter the DMC editor (mini-bug: I have to use Shift-Numpad *, Shift-F3 doesn't work,) and press L to load a sample, the program crashes.

Yeah, the FDS channel is a waveform channel like the Gameboy's channel 3, or any of the TG-16's channels - if it seems smoother, it's likely because it has both a higher sample resolution and a longer waveform buffer than the Gameboy (64 6-bit samples versus 16 4-bit samples) - this would allow for,...

o_O Where does one get THAT?

Imagine how much the sprites in Tales of Phantasia would flicker (they already flicker on the SNES sometimes, wich allows 4 times more sprites per line than the NES). Sure, but I think it's still cool to simulate the existence of ports that never came to be. It's a complete waste of time, of course...

Intellectual property, as I understand it, refers to something that is your creation - a character, a piece of music, or a game, for example. Then why can't people just say "copyright" or "patent" or "trademark" or "trade secret" as the case demands instead o...

Intellectual property, as I understand it, refers to something that is your creation - a character, a piece of music, or a game, for example. This is a good thing to have protected because it means that cheapie imitators can't just blatantly use your work for their own profit without your permission...

Yeah, I had that problem with an older version as well.

I don't mind completionist collectors who want to own much of what was released for a system or what-have-you, but the guys who buy 20 FF1 carts and then stack them against their games wall to collect dust just piss me off.

You probably have Windows set to hide file extensions (it's the default setting, a damn stupid default if ever there was one.) Open a folder window, select Tools->Folder Options, switch to the View tab, and deselect "Hide file extensions for known file types." (While you're at it, you may ...

Hooray! Many thanks to you. (Now someone's gotta extend the format to cover sound expansions =D)
