New Kids On The Block NES Box Fetches Ridiculous Sum

Posted By: wraggster



How much would you pay for this New Kids On The Block sample box for the NES game that was never released? If you're off your rocker for NKOTB, then surely $589 isn't too high a price.

Or so said box, obviously in terrible shape, commanded when auctioned off on eBay last month. As spotted by Siliconera, a fierce bidding war for the unreleased game's box—again, this is just a prototype of a box, not even a real box—ultimately came down to nearly six hundred bucks American.

Unfortunately for the seller, whoever won that auction apparently didn't come through. The box has since been relisted on eBay, with two days worth of bidding to go. Right now, top bid is $51.00, something we'll be keeping an eye on.

Somewhat related, is anyone interested in a copy of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video for Sega CD? I'm looking to unload a few.

Bring your NES back to life

Posted By: wraggster

Ever wondered what to do with your NES that's at the back of the wardrobe? If you have, here's some handy tips on cleaning the aged console, replacing the 72 connector pins and modding the controllers.

GamesRadar's put together a lengthy walkthrough that covers topics such as How to clean your NES cartridges, How to clean your NES console and replace the 72-pin connector, How to take your NES apart and How to make a USB NES game controller. They look like they know what they're doing as well.

Chances are your warranty's out of date by now, so if it's sat in a dark corner of the attic wasting away, now (or the Christmas holidays) might be the perfect time to put the sparkle back into your retro gaming.

Here's the full guide: Fun projects for your NES.

bsnes v0.055

Posted By: wraggster

News via http://www.aep-emu.de/PNphpBB2-file-...c-t-13795.html

byuu has released a new version of its SNES emulator bsnes for Windows and Linux.


Quote:
bsnes v0.055 released (2009-10-31)

Happy Halloween, this release adds full Super Game Boy support ... but is it a trick, or a treat? ::cough::, lameness aside ...

The Game Boy emulation core is courtesy of gambatte, and excellent, accuracy-focused, open source, and lightning fast Game Boy Color emulator. Now I know what you´re thinking, using a Game Boy Color emulator with the Super Game Boy? The truth is, gambatte was just such an amazingly perfect fit that nothing else compared. I fully believe that even as a CGB emulator, gambatte will do a better job than any pure DMG emulator could.

The emulation of the ICD2 chip (aka the Super Game Boy) was fully reverse engineered by myself. Eventually I´ll get an updated document put up explaining how it works.

The next question might be, "why emulate the Super Game Boy when existing Game Boy emulators do?"; well, they can only simulate part of the SGB. Features such as custom SNES sound effects, hand-drawn borders, multi-tap support and custom SNES code execution can only be accomplished by a true SNES emulator. Space Invaders is perhaps the most impressive demonstration, as it contains an entire SNES game embedded inside the Game Boy cartridge.

bsnes´ SGB emulation supports virtually every command, full sound mixing from both the SNES and Game Boy sides, both BIOS revisions, etc. The only thing that is not fully functional yet is the multi-player support, but it should be in due time. Save state support is also planned for a later date.

Changelog:

added Super Game Boy emulation (thanks to gambatte for the Game Boy core)

extended hybrid scanline/cycle PPU renderer to support Mode7 register caching; fixes scanline flickering on NHL ´94 title screen

all windows (other than the main window) can be closed with the escape key now

file dialog path selection now accepts typed paths; can be used to access hidden directories and network shares

file dialog´s game information panel can now be disabled

fixed a crashing issue when the file dialog was given an invalid path

fixed screenshot capture save location

added screenshot capture option to tools menu

state manager now auto-closes when loading a state; it can be reopened quickly with F3

fixed GZip archive loading

fixed NTSC off-by-one filter bug on hires screens

extended Scale2x, LQ2x and HQ2x to properly filter hires screens

added Pixellate2x filter

DCEmu Server Update - Also Nintendomax New DCEmu Affiliate

Posted By: wraggster

Hi all sometime this weekend we will be moving to a much faster server with more ram 4 quad speed cpus and other stuff thats over my head so the future of the site looks a lot better, also Martin let me know that he should also be upgrading Vbulletin to the very latest stable version which should mean many new features and hopefully a lot of the bugs will go. The faster server should also mean the site loads a lot better too.

Im sure you will know if you have entered by any of the network sites that theres lots of errors on the pages, these will be fixed once the server is totally migrated.

Finally once i get a chance to add them, id like to say welcome to Nintendomax our newest affiliate, for those who dont know Nintendomax is an excellent French Homebrew and Hacking site that focuses on Nintendo Consoles, check them out here --> http://www.nintendomax.com/
