PS3 & Xbox 360 getting "Sega 32x" would make next gen a lot cheaper

Remember the Sega 32x which coupled two Hitachi SH1 32-bit CPU at 23 MHz with Genesis? Should that ideology work for current gen consoles? PS4 and Xbox 720 are coming out in 2011 with DirectX 11-like GFX.

I believe In 2010, either Xbox 360 and PS3 need an hardware addon with another R600 or G84 GPU core and extra 128 MB GDDR3.With this enhancement, Sony can expand to Open GL 3.0 Graphics and it will be a lot cheaper than purchasing a PS4 to do DirectX 11-like. Otherwise you can make them really cheap and have them as a pass thru device with only the new GPU chip and no memory. It'll use all USB ports to get adiquet speed. We don't need them anyways.

Both of these would likely be less expensive and at the same time actually look next generation anyways.

Smells like PS3 Homebrew

Recently, a guy called Tcraw77813, the essential aspect of PS3 has been uncovered. From a stolen encryption arthium has been broken, something better then NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) may be ran on PS3, because the homebrew crew knows now it's SHA1-4096+AES. Wii encryption is only SHA-128-AES.



Think of how many consoles emulators they can port to PS3

FCUltra
SNES9x
NeoRage X
Gens
MEKA
1964
Virtual Boy Advance
EPSXE
MAME
UAE (Amiga for Linux)
Magic Engine
Saturnin

Exciting Virtual Console for the Playstation. Since 2004, I've been using Action Replay Max Evo Edition to run SNESstation and Pgen on PS2.

The homebrew programmers need to make a modchip emulator and front end for me!

Gamespot's Frankfurt School

Whenever I tell them about the 5 year plans known as Obamacare and Frankfurt School's racism, I get a warning!

If it quack's like a duck? I'm thinking Gamespot is a duck! They must be secretly brainwashing us through the content. Gamespot using Critical Theory in their content.

New Horizons probe searching for Nibiru

The New Horizons is a reconnaissance deep space probe launch in 01/2006 with a high-end 1 Gigapixel camera to do what Viking II did. It's primary task is to find the Saturn-sized planet Nibiru in the Kuiper belt. It's secondary mission is to take first close up of Pluto so they can put those pics in textbooks and Wikipedia by 2015. It carries a radiation reactor (supposendly there are infinite atoms floating in space to split). Also it comes with a repeater module to relay the signal back to Earth once near out of range. The reactor can last 35-40 years as it is simular to other Generation III+ nuclear reactors. Nibiru orbits around something gives off heat (ie a star not visable) with a different orbit so it might/might not have oyxgen and plant life.

MP3 is bandwidth hazard....do something new

I went to cheapass gamer, IGN, Gamespot, and Whitehouse.gov and they all have like 64 kbps *.mp3 files which is pretty pissing me off. Listen, I have a reallly bad connection and why not free AAC, because FAAC is free! Why not use it? You can get it down to 24 kbps. For example, if I were to download Cheapass gamer CAGcast, it would be 48 MB! If that was 1 hour long, it would be at 80 kbps or 30 minutes at 160 kbps. If you're afraid of breaking copyright, then there is still 32 kbps Aotuv Vorbis 5.7! CDex is the application for Vorbis. Firefox 3.1, Opera 10, and IE8 has Vorbis built-in

If money wasn't issue: Why skipping Geforce GTX 295

We all know that money is always the issue so in hte following paragraphs...money no issue.

The Geforce GTX 295 is especially two Geforce GTX 280s in SLI configuration in the same vein of Geforce 7950 GX2, Radeon 4870 X2, and Geforce 9800 GX2 (had one of those). With a Geforce GTX 280 SLI in my Core 2 Quad PC,

3584 MB of GDDR3 of both Geforce GTX 295 in SLI with 960 stream processors over 480 stream processors in my newest PC is nicer, but not worth the hype when all the games are especially DirectX 9.0c and the 2D apps don't yet have GPGPU support.

The Geforce GTX 280 SLI has quite the longevity. It'll get me to 2010 with Window and since DirectX 11 is backwards compatible with DX10 API, the DirectX 11 games will function somewhat at 1600x1200. GPUs are coming out like clockwork so the ideal GPU would be first or 2nd generation DirectX 11 Geforce. The difference between the Geforce GTX 280 SLI and Geforce GTX 295 SLI is similar to what you achieve with a 2006 Chevy Siverado vs. 2009 Chevy Siverado. The Geforce GTX 300+ is like a Chevy Siverado hybrid and new grill styling. The PC games are sort of levelling out this in 2009, no spikes in performance as in the first five years of the 21st century. Fear 2: Project Origin could run on my Dell Demension XPS from 2003 if it had too and if not that...a older Athlon 64 X2 4800, 3 GB DDR2, and a obsolete Geforce 8800 GTX OC2.

With PC game industry going having their own recession, nobody is investing in new game engines. FEAR 2 is still using the Lithtech: Jupiter EX from the original FEAR in 2005. It got a 7.0 in gameplay so i am not looking as forward to it as maybe console games. There is an updated list in the March 2k8 archive in case I get too Japanese for your taste and scare you away or something...

Speaking of Japanese, guess what? Only 5 Wii games.

We're running out of Rich People. Ahhh. The end is near!

Margaret Thatcher (former conservative party UK Prime Minister) once said:

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

Senator Bachmann says our very own country is running out of people to tax with a joint income of $100,000+. Maybe Obama should quick do Reaganomics, but he is so insane in charisma and wanting to tell us how bad off we are that we're running out of rich people to tax. Good thing I am not a democrat. We have Glen Beck in our face.

Play PS backups on PS2s without modchip?

News to me. I have plenty of PS1 downloads to burn onto CD yet. Recently, I've read a way that regular PS2s can see backuped PS1 games without modchips. Shocking.

Here I'll list the directions and you can comment on my blog here.

1. Insert the PSX disc in your Burner (NOT the regular CDROM, as chances are it won’t read subchannel info)

2. Fire up CloneCD, preferably 4.0.0.0 and up.

3. Click on the "Read to Image File" Button (the one with the glasses)

4. Now select your burner from the drives listed.

5. You’ll now see a couple of profiles. We’ll need to create a custom one though. Right click on the white area and select "New".

6. Name your new profile "PlayStation Disc" or "PSX Backup" or "PIRACY RULZ!!!111!" or whatever.

7. Input the following settings into the profile:

Data Read Settings

Read Speed Data: Max
Read Subchannel Data from Data Tracks: Checked
Regenerate Data Sectors: Checked

Audio Read Settings

Read Speed Audio: Max
Audio Extraction Quality: Medium(Fast)
Read Subchannel Data from Audio Tracks: Checked
Only Read the First Session: Unchecked

Error Handling

Fast Error Skip Settings: Off
Abort on Read Error: Off
Don’t Report Read Errors: Off
Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner: Off

After setting all that, click "Next.

8. Now you name your .ccd file. If you want to have a .cue sheet file, check the appropriate box for it.

9. CloneCD will now make your ISO, or Disc image. Grab something to eat while waiting, or browse for porn, or post at Emuforums, it’s up to you.

10. Alright! that stupid clinkety-clink reminder has sounded… Reading has finished. Now get your original disc and put your blank in the tray and close it.

11. Click the "Write from Image file" Button (the one with the pencil)

12. Browse for your file. You can also make the program to delete the image file after a successful burn, just check the appropriate box. Click on Next.

13. Choose the CDRW drive. Click Next.

14. You’ll now see a set of profiles for writing. You’ll also see the write profile you made earlier, but it’s not yet set. Input the following settings:

Write Settings

Write Speed: 4x (yes, 4x)
Weak Sectors: Ignore
Don’t Repair Subchannel Data: Checked
Always close last session: Checked

15. Click on Ok. The write session will now start. This will take ~20 minutes.


Tell me if this is the truth! I have many SHMUPs to play on my LCD TV.Zaniac X Zaniac is $300 and Raiden DX is $100.
