Re: RPG recommendations - 13 years ago
Come one guys, he said multiplayer. The Elder Scrolls games, while brilliant, are some of the most anti-multiplayer RPGs ever invented. The console RPGs mentioned are also entirely single-player. I think some of the Baldur's Gate games for the PC support multiplayer, but I'm not especially familiar with them. As regards console RPGs, I'm afraid that's pretty much youby alainvey - Offtopic

Re: Virtual Boy Emulator - 14 years ago
Mednafen is open source (http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/releases/). "Mednafen is a portable, utilizing OpenGL and SDL, argument(command-line)-driven multi-system emulator with many advanced features. The Atari Lynx, GameBoy (Color), GameBoy Advance, NES, PC Engine(TurboGrafx 16), SuperGrafx, Neo Geo Pocket (Color), PC-FX, and WonderSwan (Color) are emulated."

Re: just saying hi - 14 years ago
Ooh, ooh, I never get to explain this. My username comes from a man in a Route Nationale French textbook which is taught from in many English schools (or at least was in 1998). Specifically, on page 26 or so of the volume aimed at year 8 (age 13-14) there is a double-page spread of people describing their professions. One of these people is a man called Alain Vey, who is a coiffeur. For somby alainvey - Offtopic

Re: Work together: Let's change (fix) our forum! - 14 years ago
I second no avatars or sigs. A pet hate of mine is GBAfail and Tehskeen users who list their console setup, complete with often trivial modification details, as if it were a custom car or something... Woah, this guy's packing a 2GB SD card: cripes, I'd better treat him with respect! I have no complaints about this place.by alainvey - Feedback & Support

Re: Nethack - 14 years ago
Sorry, thanks for this. I appreciate your offer for help, but I can't code to save my life. That is, unless my life were dependent on coding a Wii application which can play some music and display images. I'm just gunning for someone to do all the work for me.by alainvey - Ideas, requests
Re: [request]Nintendo DS Emulator? - 14 years ago
QuoteArikadoWIP. Follow our progress here: Woah! How did I miss this? You're a genius. And there I was ordering you to write a SNES emulator for the DS... Seriously, looking at how much you've done, I'm really impressed. Fancy porting Nethack next?by alainvey - Ideas, requests

Re: Wii, 360, or PS3? - 15 years ago
XBOX360 has more new JRPGs, thus it wins. Wii can play all SFC RPGs, and soon all PSX RPGs (not to mention Tales of Symphonia), so it wins to a rather frightening degree. PS3 wins if and only if it has backwards compatibility (thus affording access to PSX and PS2 RPGs). Being able to play Live a Live and Tales of Phantasia is hard to beat, though, so I'd say the Wii.by alainvey - Offtopic

Perhaps just a note about anything to do with Wanikoko's cIOS. That isn't in the rules, and that's what I meant to say but failed, for some reason.by alainvey - Feedback & Support
Re: Discussion of WADs, Backups, and ROMs is NOT ALLOWED! NO PIRACY!.....???? - 15 years ago
wiicrew made a post reporting the compatibility of a particular brand of external hard drive with USB loader apps. I think the rules could perhaps be slightly altered to make it clearer that this is a forbidden subject.by alainvey - Feedback & Support

Re: I need some help with emulator saves - 15 years ago
Have you tried selecting "load snapshot" when you start Zelda? Start a new game, get the sword from the "It's Dangerous to go Alone!" man, then select "save snapshot" from the FCE Ultra menu. Close the emulator (using the exit option in its menu, don't just reset the console), then reload it and boot up Zelda. Select "load snapshot" from the menu. If this doesn't work theby alainvey - Homebrew Applications

Re: Playing mp3s with libmad: no sound - 15 years ago
The raw mp3 is in a folder called "Data" in the root if the project folder. The include is just test_mp3.h, which is built from the data file when compiling - it doesn't exist anywhere in the source. This is what's needed in the makefile: #--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # main targets #----------------------------------------by alainvey - Coding
Re: Playing mp3s with libmad: no sound - 15 years ago
Here's the complete Main.c from a simple app I wrote. I had exactly the issue you are describing, and fixed it eventually. Note that I did not know any C before beginning this, so please forgive any howlers and faux pas you encounter. Also, I included the file I wanted to play in the binary, but I think it should be quite simple to change it to play from SD. #include #includeby alainvey - Coding
Re: Installing BootMii public beta 3 over beta 2 - 15 years ago
There's no reason why it should be a problem. It's just an update which fixes some bugs and adds Wavebird support. I've updated, and there are no problems.by alainvey - BootMii Beta
