I was thinking about getting one of these for my youngest son. Question, will it run his existing Cube games?

Thats whats cool about it, in my opinion just load the game, plug the gamecube controllers and you're set

we have a WII. My wife just got me to pick up guitar hero III for it today. I don't have as many games as you, just transformers and zelda -I will probably get metroid soon.
I wish the controllers had a recharge station because I am sick of keeping track of how charged my AA batteries are. It seems like WII is not getting as many good games as other platforms. i am beginning to think it was a mistake to buy one. I mainly went with it because of fear of the rings of death with xbox.

it has so many good games that just came out and that are coming out....

are they still hard to get in your country?
Wii seem to e easy to find here, and have been since coming out.
I work on games as a team with my son. he plays repeatedly and gets all the skill while I search the internet for clues to overcome obstacles if he has reached an impass.
I am watching for whatever replaces the ds, because it must be due by now. we never got around to buying a ds and I think its too late now.

Stunning? This is what the Ps3 WAS WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED.
The XBOX IS CRAP. THAT THING IS NOTHING MORE THAN A REBRANDING OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE XBOX.
The PS3 does kicks its ass, and it will do so any day.
Now they get built-in wifi? Wow, my Ps3 from 2006 had that!
M$ sucks, and this another one of there schemes to fill their pockets up with hard earned money. Sure, Sony did release a new ps3, but it was for a new audience--not the same one that bought the original one. The slim offered nothing new that the original couldn't do.
All in all, don't waste your time on the Xbox 360. Even this one is vulnerable to the RROD issue.

And to the person who said "rebranded xbox" or some sh*t like that. Get your facts straight, its a completely new motherboard design that won't rrod! It does'nt even have a red ring of light! Only green! so up yours ps3 c*ck sucker
Oh and one last thing, most games on ps3 that are sold for xbox and ps3 (eg. cod) are programmed on xbox then ported to ps3! So its a bit obvious that the xbox is going to have better graphics because thats what the game is built for!
Finished.
Xbox 360 FTW! PS3 FAIL!

Mod is going to be of autobot logo. Have dremeled the case, now just waiting to be bothered to sand it all down and smooth out my cutting, then its time to spray it all
Also, the XBOX360 Slim does still have an over heating issue. It avoids the RROD by having a red led that pops up, and a warning on your screen saying your console is going to shut down, do not power back on until the red light disappears, but hopefully, it should be a lot harder to get it to that stage!

Game Gripper

I bought the EVO Shift in part because I wanted to play emulated games. A company called Game Gripper makes these pretty cool attachments to use with physical keyboards. It is basically a button overlay that is shaped and functions like a console controller. I put a picture of one below. They have gotten pretty good reviews. If you are interested in the attachment you should head over to the Game Gripper website and put in a request. I don't know how many requests they need before they produce a Game Gripper but the more they get the better the chances they will produce one. The EVO Shift is actually listed on their request form so maybe they are developing or getting ready to develop one already. You don't even have to enter your email or anything.

Looks like they won't need to make phone specific versions anymore.
^ Shift Faced
Wow, that's cool. The only turn off for me would be the normal one is $15 and that one is around $50. I would definitly be interested in it if I didn't have a keyboard though.
True. But you wouldn't have to buy a new one if you got a new phone. I like that.
^ Shift Faced
But I'd much rather have a cheaper piece that just snaps on to the keyboard, then it doesn't require an app/having the bluetooth radio on. Emulators burn enough battery as is.
I put in a request for this this morning before even seeing this post. Looks like great minds think alike. I came from the EVO just so I could have a keyboard for emulated games...
I sent a request for it a while ago and they told me to keep checking that it would become available at some point.
Anyone have an update at all on this? I am dying to get a game gripper on my phone.
I just got a shift, coming from a Samsung Moment, and was trying to remember what the company was called making these. I don't think it took long for when they had the Samsung Moment request form up and when they started to make them.
I was looking at these earlier this week (I fell in love with psx4droid) and there is probubly no chance they're going to make one of these for the shift. I mean common, this isn't the most popular phone, I wish it was though.
Btw the emulators gensoid, n64iod, gameboid, every ____oid have all been removed from the market, but they are FREE on the slideme appstore. Don't worry they were put on by the dev, not pirated.
Pls click 'thank' if this helped!!
No I'm not using Tapatalk... I'm using the XDA Premium app, cause I got balls.
I have been using the Tiger emulators since they are free but allow you save states. They are still available.
I like the tiger ones better. And fpse is a far better ps emulator. Stuck with N64oid though.
Put in my request for one this would really be awesome.

Nice, hopefully they eventually make one for us. The Epic had one at this point in it's life cycle so we'll see.
Don't Think...
To my knowledge, when I play emulated games, it will only register 2 keys at once, I can push a third, but it doesn't do anything, even if I have it registered. I don't think a physical one is possible cause of this, but a bluetooth one (assuming we can find one that sends the correct frequency for those still stuck on the gb update) would work just fine.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I may just have a faulty unit, or there is something we can do like the epic users did to stop them from dropping keys when they typed too fast, that might help us here is I'm not the only one with this problem.

[Q] Which Games Console Do You Prefer?

Hey guys
As you can tell, I'm a new member (About a few hours old) so, I may as well get my post count up a little and interact with the community! So, what I want to know is, what is your favourite games console and which game do you prefer for said favourite console. I'll start.
Favourite Console: PC
Favourite Game: RIFT (MMORPG)
Now it's your turn! I've been a PC gamer since I was 13 so hence why it's my favourite
Happy posting!
Since my PC exploded, pretty much just Xbox...
Anything, really, but mostly Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Alan Wake

I'm on Wii - and mostly playing golf.
i prefer PC
mouse and keyboard ftw !!!
xxxbox 360
I have PS3 (PS2, PSP and Original PS1) and a nice PC (4.3GHz)
I played lots of console games and online games like DotA.
In my opinion, console games are always the best for a fresh view.
You got the latest game available at console, playing with all your heart content.
Whenever I play a new console game on rainy day, it feels cold.
Relaxing and what I want is just beating up the game, nothing more.
PC game sucks if your computer sucks.
But I guess many users in XDA would have a powerful computer since they are developers.
I am a retired computer developer myself.
Running Intel Core i7 Extreme overclocked to 4300MHz stable.
With Toxic Sapphire 2 graphic card.
More info: 24GB 1600MHz (4x6), Running Triple Channels
Played all games in highest quality, smooth and nice.
Most importantly, I have a 3D Monitor, I could play Crysis II in 3D.
I am not boosting, but... PC games seem to be for those gamers with good computer. Poor people like I 7 years ago could only afford a 500USD computer. I cannot play good games and stuck at Pacman.
But if you have a good PC, congratulation, you can play any games you love and I think good PC owners would have advantages on games because PC Games can be modded and such and such, manually update, bug fixes all over the internet and more and more... That includes easier to hack and play cheats on games... ==... I wonder why young people today have to use cheat on easy mode when hard mode without cheats are so fun to play with
My english is bad, sorry if there are any grammar mistakes.

[FREE][GAME] Monster's Pinball for WP7

Hello XDA!
I'm a longtime reader and I would like your opinions my new game Monster's Pinball for Windows Phone 7.
It has two tables and is based on one of my favorite handheld pinball games from back when I was a kid and its just as challenging (can anyone guess what game?)
If you like the game please leave a comment and rating in the marketplace!
Someone left a comment saying the flippers had no power. Is this true for everyone? If so, what device are you using?
Thanks!
Here is the description from the Marketplace:
Monster's Pinball pays tribute to some challenging cult classic portable pinball games.
Can you confront and defeat over 50 monsters in and around a creepy old mansion? There are over 100 items to unlock!
Run the right loop 3 times to enable a confrontation with a monster, then run the left loop 3 times to enable battle mode. Defeat the monster to fully unlock it.
Different monsters are in different locations! Hit one of 2 travel buttons 3 times to travel within the games 18 locations.
While this may be an homage to classic games, Monster's Pinball is full of modern gaming conventions such as:
xp / leveling system
special challenges
powerups / perks
online scoreboards
Supports fast app switching and you can save and resume games! See you on the scoreboards!
Any and all suggestions are welcome, just email me at [email protected]!

Tried it out. Great game. I think the review the other poster gave (i'm the 2nd review on their now) was because he is used to those fast paced electronic pinball games. Not ones based on the classic real pinballs with metal heavy balls. I would however suggest adding maybe tilt to it and penalty for tilting to much
Keep up the good work.
Oh btw i was playing it on an HTC Titan.
UK?

There is tilt and it can only be used every 5 seconds. Just tilt the phone in the direction you want the ball to go and give the phone a hard jolt. There is a visual effect so you know it worked. Thanks for trying the game!

That's because the microsoft ad control doesn't really work anywhere besides the US. I've waited a long time for them to expand but now I'm thinking about using admob and adduplex in the future. Try the trial of the paid version and buy if you like it; I kept the price very low compared to the xbox live games.
Thanks for the question though, it really reinforces the fact that I need to make my games free for everyone.

do you like skyrim / should i buy it?

so i want to buy a new game and I want to know if what ya'll think. it would be for console.

I was always dying when I first played it. It gets easier the longer you play it, however, it was more fun when my character was still weak. Killing enemies with one hit made the game tiring to play.
it's been a long while since any decent game has come to market... say FallOut series was revived to now
BioWare is doing an awesome job at with Dragon Age series and Mass Effect
both of these tittles are a must have, it's like watching a movie, but you are the main character
the outcome of the movie will all depend on the choices you make during the course of the movie/game
it can also be open ended, like the old also excellent X series (X, X2, X3)
other than those 4 above mentioned games, there aren't many good games to look forward to
I do also follow the Blizzard games, but they take like 10 years in between releases, crazy wait time
from Blizzard i like the StarCraft and Diablo series, but those are more just for fun, than Immersion play like the BioWare games
a day goes by so quickly you don't even notice when you are zoomed into the worlds of Dragon Age / Mass Effect
I highly suggest playing those 2 with 3D glasses if you have an Nvidia or ATI 3D capable video card and 3D monitor to match

Its more about that on pc you need use keyboard and most to control character and for me its easier to use an controller like the Xbox360 has.
But an game like CoD uses much less buttons on the keyboard, with the W button I just walk and with A and D to left and right and S I won't use much.
And in multiplayer I use an cheat to help me locating the enemy ( Yes I know its not nice to cheat, but it makes the game more fun for me and it gets not detected. ) and that way I make more kills and win more games.

I agree it's an excellent game.
Great game if you enjoy Beth games.
You didn't give enough info, so yes... great game, get it.
If you don't want to risk the $ on a new rpg game from a company you haven't had any experience with, try hitting the bargin bin and pickup Oblivion (predecessor to Skyrim) or Fallout 3. That will let you know if you can handle the "engine" and type of bugs/issues you may encounter...
.02 enjoy.;
Skyrim is by far the best game Bethesda has created IMHO. The leveling system is excellent. Much more to do than in the other elder scrolls games. The game is excellent. I would get it if I were you.
