yo texas pete! thanks for the help, ill still look around for performance info before commiting, sha. Ive set up a tv-out gaming rig in the meantime and playing emulated games on a tv with it is lovely, the xbox is looking like less of a necesity, but halo 2 is a major driving force!

as for the performance gist, I have some contrary news for u, bro: the biggest proiblem that devs had with the original xbox was that despite the fact that it did not need it, being a console, microsoft insisted on putting a modified version of windows 2000 on the box (yes) and forcing the programmers to use directX for their games (just like on a PC), so the xbox DOES have the overhead that a pc does, but to a lesser extent.

where it has an advantage is in the tightly integrated geforce 3 gfx chipset, but thanks to directx, programmers cant exploit it to the full! finally, emulators are usually CPU-bound, except for HLE's where a lot of translation-type emulation i done, but even then the problematic games (gemini, pefect dark) are cpu-limited. For that reason im still approacing xbox n64 emulation with caution! could  u do a guy a favour and try perfect dark on ure xbox?




linkcs92:

forget ps2 emulation. it doesnt work. dont mind what anyone tells you. it does not work for playing games. it works for other stuff that im sure ure not interested in. just forget about it till pcsx2 gets a 1.0 release

bros.

be careful o.

if d babe hot, before u know it you'll be competing with the gbogons (big boys)

if u get burned you will realise that love vs job = job wins any time, dude. if u lose ya job she'll erase u like a bad habit

if the relationship fuxors up remember u are looking at her face every frickin day

if your jobs depend on each other remember that if you incur her jealousy/beef or start flirting w someone else in the office u just may end up a victim of sabotage

if u become her office husband, she will come to u for help when the bigboys start trying to spear her kongo. what will u do? stand up for her and get wiped out? I think not.

my advice is handle it the way I handled this thing on a frickin daily basis: where I work, my previous job description put me in contact with attractive coworkers in diffferent branches, and puts me in a position where they get more and more drawn to me, no head-shaking here, it happens to everyone who takes over that 'particular' job- I'm not claiming to be some babe-magnet or whatever, (and some handled it differently, )

the way I handled, and *still* handle it is that, due to the nature opf female coquettry, u can be close to her and maintain a healthy, even intimate relationship but never let it get coloured by anything related to sex. Whenever she takes the initiative (and she will, eventually) its easy to just play the clueless mummy's boy. Never fails, and no beef involved. Let dirty jokes become so 'normal' that they are never misinterpreted when they do drop by mistake. And always let her believe that you have a harem of babes outside the office. If she likes u its pretty easy to convince her of that, she will be sure other girls will see the same things she sees in u!


of course if u wanna plumb that drainpipe and risk ure job i cant stop u from commiting soo-wa-side, so any which way, my brudder,

note: the guy that's 'loved' is the same guy that is being 'crushed', and thus is the guy that is actually being 'liked' (according to ure defn)

as such, the question is now:

the one u like vs the one that loves u


still different from


the one u love vs the one u like.


she doesnt even like this other dude that is dying for her.

Me i pity the guy. he will have to suffer the pain of watching the other chap mess her up and dump her like a bad habit ,

I don't *have* to swear.

However swearing adds a certain, shall we say, 'colour' to an otherwise sterile and emotion-free sentence.

Expletives have their use. They deformalize and add passion to spoken and written sentences. And passion means plausible deniability!

dont do it!

polygamy is deh pits of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil!!!!!

instead marry one wife and have a 1,000 concubines!

its called the way of the HYPOCRITE and it is SECOND NATURE to all us niger-areans!

then u can safely yap and abuse and call all the polygamous ppl out there names yet be smug that ure doing the same thing and ure dumb wife doesnt have a CLUE!!!!

in fact even if she does have a clue she'll pretend not to know cos at least u didnt DISGRACE her by marrying another woman into the house! Afterall what kind of HYPOCRITE would she be if she actually had to ACKNOWLEDGE that her husband cant keep his KPACKS in one KONGO?!??!?!??!

HER OWN KONGO FOR THAT MATTER! the shame!

look, in naija hypocrisy rules!!! Hypocrisy and evil and oju-kokoro!!!! (foolish man, why u dey eye another man food? its ppl like u that chop all the fine gels commot for ground make poor man no fit chop. hisssssssss, )

Meeen.

this poor guy is in for a huge dissapointment.

what a loser.

bros, i no fit use IRC, usenet, or any of the old firewall-unfriendly udp-loving pirate-friendly protocols. The almighty firewalls both at home (yes, starcomms firewalls its customers- lets burn em down) and at d office have decreed so

SO if i get an xbox better get ready with WINRAR/winzip and ya yahoo mail cos i will be on ya neck! Not for roms sha! only emus and other smallsmall things. I can handle the big files

And as for the n64 thing- yes I am talking about pj64 (thats project 64) and no i aint talkin bout ultraHLE- thats ancient history (bros u don tey o!)

PJ64 is an HLE, my brodder. sad but true. If u finished zelda 64 wo encountering a HORRIBLE BUG at the very end then God really loves u, altho i think pj64 1.6 fixed that particular bug i cant be sure, meh meh,

i just checked up on the emu u mentioned and it looks excellent! but whats the performance like? remember xbox is a p3 700mhz and for jet force gemini, perfect dark and yes, conker, that cpu was the pits of uselessness!

substitute 'bleeding' for your favourite present continuous tensed expletive swearword

for example:

of course she should bleeding re-marry

could  become:

of course she should fucking re-marry

or

of course she should mothafuckinshitkickinsonofabitchinahorse's arse re-marry!

I hope this clarifies things,

oi rhoda

shes not asking about one u love vs one u like

shes asking about one u love vs one that loves u

big difference there,

Of course she should bleeding re-marry.

What do u want her to do, go ride his dead decaying kpacks in the grave? or maybe cast his rotting kpalongo into a mold to make an everlasting Love Machine.

Jesus. why the hell do people ask these crazy questions?!??!?!?!

'till death do us part'. WELL HE'S DEAD. They have parted. Let madam get on with her life. What a load of rubbish.

Actually, Uzzyan,'sex is worth waiting for' is propaganda. sex isnt all its cracked up to be. Its overrated, actually. Just blown out of proportion so that when u go fornicate, and the sex was crap, the holymen/women can tell u 'well it was useless cos u didnt wait for it! And now that uve done it u can never enjoy it the way u were meant to! never you hear! mwahahahahaaaaa!'

In summary, sex shouldnt even enter the equation when talking about love and relationships. Sex can be bought on the street for a few bucks. Its a mindless mating ritual that takes a serious back seat to the joy of loving another human being. And lemme tell ya something: the best sex you as a person could possibly have is dependent on *many* factors, of which love is NOT neccesarily the only or even the most important item! If u end up having shitty sex w ya gf, wont it give u a bleeding headache?

If ya asking ya gf for sex and she says no, fogerrit. Its no big deal. Just do all the other stuff that makes u love each other. And if u cant think of anything but sex, then u dont really love her anyway, do you?

ANd if u claim u cant have sex with anyone else while going out with her, then no wahala. sex is not compulsory. U can go for 200 years without having sex. Ya balls no go burst. Find something else to do that will bring more fulfilment to ya life than chasing some overrated hump-a-rama excercise.

the smart thing would be to go for the guy that loves u.

That way, if it turns out he was pretending, you can just dump him and go your way with no emotional wahala.

Unfortunately most girls dont do that- they would much rather go for the one they love, even if he hates them and treats them like dirty rags.

I never understood why, but there MUST be a good reason, which is why they keep doing it. Perhaps there is some emotional fulfilment that you get from loving someone, something that u dont get from someone u dont care about but who loves u dearly, perhaps.

Or perhaps the guy who loves u appears weak because he's so far gone, the guy that doesnt love u may appear stronger.

Also, if a girl has sex with a guy, he will usually act as though he loves her during, and shortly before/after the act, with all the huging, cuddling etc. *shrug*. i guess that may help a girl convince herself that she's loved. It may even be all she needs. *shrug* what do I know. its what u woman ppl do.


So, in summary- my advice would be go for the dude that loves u, but ure probably going to go for mr Badboy Playa anyway, and cry in private everytime he tells u to get lost and stop bothering his life.

Well, God will help the person who bought the fone from u!

Theres an issue with vampent emulators (vsun and vboy) that causes the phone to reboot forever if you allow the battery to run down while the emu is running. Cos the phone never gets past the 'nokia' screen, you cant use any software reset method, you have to head down to ikeja to do a serial reflash. has happened once to my 3650 and twice to my N-gage. For that reason I don't use vampent emus,

It may also be due to the fact that the emus were cracked? who knows,

Oh, so u use picodrive as well! pretty cool, until u realise that the megadrive was a crap console, hardly any games of note, and the games that ARE good either require a larger screen (eg gunstar heroes, any text-based game, shadowrun) or are TOO FRICKEN HARD to play on even the ngage (ultimate mortal kombat, if u can make the moves work, even simple uppercut, i give u hand) because picodrive doesnt support 6-button control!

'tis good news to hear that any modchip will suffice. Actually the xbox is pretty much foreign ground to me at the moment as far as emulation goes.

I, however NEED to be sure that n64 emulation is up and running, i cant afford to just assume that 'it should be there, joooo!' and fogerrit. remember, n64 emulation was never perfected on the PC: even the latest version of project 64 is full of issues, and that is an HLE- hle's take forever to write and i doubt anyone went thru that hell for the xbox. if there is a working xbox n64 emu could u pls help me with its name, lemme go google it!

thanks

yo texas pete!

been dying to find a fellow naijaman into xbox emulation!

few questions here:

1. any n64 emus for xbox?
2. are modchips that allow ftp access available at alaba?
3. have u succesfully implemented xbmc?

U said u have a snes emu for series 60 phones, pls dont tell me its VSUN!!! if it is i advise u to uinstall it sharpsharp or u may need to go for a reflash soon,

I barely stomach the call-a-day thing.

mobile phones are our servants ot our masters! for the sake of flaming minerva's sandals

jesus christ why dont women learn and stop burning their credit on pointless calls?!

It is about the movies but,


its impossible to seperate them from the source material!

much of the appeal of these movies is their extraordinary faithfulness to the original texts. In particular, that is what did it for me vis a vis fellowship of the ring (PJ went crazy with TTT and ROTK afterwards but the fils were awesome so we forgive him)

@nferyn

I agree that LOTR is in a class of its own, what with it being an 80-year old classic that spawned an entire subgenre of popular literature and single-handedly created a template from which a billion other incredbly rich tapestries were wrought, but we shouldn't detract from HP just because it is only a few years old.

HP is a childrens story at heart, but remember, the Hobbit was equally juvenile in its disposition when tolkien wrote it. Its broad appeal comes from Rowlings' incredible talent at 'projecting', what I call the trick writers use to make a circumstance that the reader may not otherwise experience, seem so familiar! HP actually enables us experience what the children at hogwarts experience, regardless of our ages, and the realisation of this is so rich, so enchanting that it is difficult not to get caught up!

I grew up on Narnia, read LOTR while in uni, and was introduced to HP around the time of the second movie. Personally I think all three are amazing and am thrilled that the movie realisations are so complete, so perfect. I can;t wait for the wheel of time and DUNE to get a similar treatment.

So which is better? I'd have to say LOTR- mainly because all 3 movies mainained a high standard. as for HP, the first was lovely, the second was boring, the third was excellent (but slow to pick up) and the fourth was good but rushed and abbreviated compared to the original novel.

Its her decision to ask you for help.

If she does, then oblige. but otherwise we should just shut up.

contribute to be educated, yes. Contribute to ask questions, maybe.

But to tell the woman what to do- NO. We have NO business doing that.

The fact that we are structurally incapable of having, talk less of aborting a pregnancy disqualifies us from imposing an idea on the women. The decision on whether or not to abort should be hers and hers alone.
