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.

[SOLVED] GFX on Macbook Pro 17" (Unibody)(5,2 mid-2009)

Hey, so I bought my macbook from Apple in May/June of last year (2009), and I'm having some really weird graphics issues. I plan to do some research on the issue, just wondering if this has happened to any other mac users out there...

Do you mean that breaking point thing where the text overlaps? DO you get that everywhere in the system? DO you see it when entering terminal from boot?

Its a mac, its not broken, its an innovative feature. Jobs is Reinventing laptops again.

It's strange, it's only when scrolling in Finder. After some research, I found that it's called the "ripple", but no solid answers. This started happening randomly after I decided to use the 9600GT card to get better graphics for a few weeks. Once I switched back to the 9400M to save battery life, this started catching my eye.
On a side note, if you're here on this thread just to bash Apple, please do me a favor and leave. kthanx.

I don't have a mac, but nor am I here to slate Apple
Just as a question, have you installed latest graphics drivers. I've had that before on my pc a while ago - I didn't install the right drivers.
Hope it helps - If not, sorry!

Yea, seems like a driver problem, but I'm not that good with macs. Check the nvidia site and look for the most recent drivers.

I appreciate the help . I'll check it out.
edit: As far as I can tell, both drivers are not on the site. The closest they get to Mac OS X is linux...It seems to me that Apple uses their own proprietary versions of the drivers, just like they do for Java. Software Update shows nothing that pertains to gfx drivers...

Damn apple. lol. Try checking the system update, maybe you will find a driver update there.

Lol.
I checked System Update and it only shows a java update and some misc program updates that don't deal with graphics...Oh well. I'll keep looking, thanks for the help.

Worst case scenario, format. Fixes everything. lol

As much as I'd love to...lol
I just restored the harddrive maybe a month ago, after Ubuntu self destructed on me...For some reason it just went all Chernobyl one day...Wouldn't connect to wifi, ethernet, wouldn't build android anymore...And my computer felt hot enough to cook on. Literal meltdown.
I then realized that I could dual-boot Snow Leopard and Leopard, and that I never needed Linux in the first place... I should have partitioned a little more evenly, though, as I made Snow Leopard the majority of the HDD...but I only really use the 50gb Leopard partition I made for Android development...
lol. I just need to stop failing...

you could always make a timecapsule back up to a big portable hd, then restoring from that. it probably won't sort anything as it will just restore what ever is happening, but it always worth a try. i've tried it to fix a few problems, can't remember if it did help.

Turns out the GPU is at fault. Apple is replacing it, fo fweee. So happy, as I'm out of warranty and it's a $300 part.
Thanks for all your suggestions!

Lol @ $300 part. I will not go into detail of Apple's pricing.

windows mobile users dont really have an image. I think it is because you hardly see any in real life. Most phones are supporting android/blackberry/ios. I know one person who still has a WM device (HD2) and I tell him to put android on it all the time. lol

That's just it, just about everyone I know IRL who wanted a Windows phone gave up when they couldn't find one they liked and just made the change to Android.
The last person I knew who had Windows mobile only kept it so long so he could keep his precious tethering (on edge no less since he had the Dash that wasn't 3G capable). I told him repeatedly that he could tether with android, but whenever he called the TMO store they said it wasn't possible. Finally I just disconnected his laptop from the web & tethered to prove to him it was possible.
Then, he went and (ignored my suggestion of phone) got a MyTouch Slide and is pretty happy with it. Whenever he finds something it can't do, I point him at a free app that'll take care of his problems.
So, in my experience, the Windows Mobile users image is that of people who just don't research and are afraid of change or were holding out hope for WP7 (which is another discussion for another time).

We're too busy getting on and using our phones to care
Honestly though, our typical view is probably similar to the typical android user, but not ginger
View ourselves maybe like Neo (with all that ROM hacking)
Viewed by iPhone users as some big scary moster, and by BB users as BB users are viewed by iPhone users, and by Android users as Old Father Time.

Needs one more column: How seen by xda developers!

Ha. Actually its the complete opposite. Windows mobile users had all the features that you are enjoying on your android device many years ago, just on fairly slow hardware and an unusable interface. You might want to look up how xda-developers started

Yes and Windows Mobile phones were the most hackable and customizable.
Then, as Microsoft seems to LOVE to do, they assumed they were #1 and no one could ever possibly make anything better, so they just stopped giving it the attention it deserved.
They then lagged behind the rest of the smart phone world. The users who still currently use them

Not trying to be insulting to the phones, but as you said, while revolutionary and groundbreaking, the phones themselves were almost impossible to use because of the horrible interface and slow hardware. By todays standards, the OS is lacking.
In a few years, I'll probably be saying the same about Android in its current incarnation.
Windows 95 was a game changer when it came out, but I think that anyone still using it has got to be pulling their hair out by now.
I know how xda started, I had an account long ago with an email that no longer exists & a password long since forgotten

hahahah this is great!!

Love it.

Galaxy on Fire 2

I didn't find a thread for this game, so I'm starting one.
Galaxy on Fire 2 THD

This is a graphics rich, fairly immersive RPG/space flight sim (I've only played it for a little bit, so I don't know how far the gameplay goes). It's a THD, or Tegra Zone, game, and it's free for any device with a Tegra 2.
The controls can be a little wonky until you get used to them, but I think some fiddling with the setting/experience at the helm will fix that right up (wish it used a Wiimote classic, though). Gameplay is fun and not too redundant (so far), progression is pretty straightforward with freeplay quests on the side of the storyline, and it's freaking gorgeous on the Streak 7.
Did I mention free? If you haven't downloaded this yet, do yourself a favour and get on it. It's a great toilet surfer, if you know what I mean.
The only downside I've encountered thus far is that it's locked up on me twice, requiring a hard-reboot (that and the first time I tried to download it it crapped out halfway, but that could have been my T-Mo signal). It's probably fairly RAM intensive; I'm going to try killing apps before I run it, next time (something I usually avoid like the plague on FroYo+ OS). I've only run it on the stock ROM, so no idea if this plays well with StreakDroid or HoneyStreak. I also have yet to hook this up with the HDMI dock, but I'm looking forward to doing so.
This game, more than any I've yet tried, really showcases the awesome of the Streak 7. I was playing it in the hospital yesterday (friend having a baby), and the family there are all Apple people; iPhones, iPads, etc. They were all asking what the Streak 7 was (I had to find a polite way to say, "it's like an iPad, only better in just about every meaningful way").
**UPDATE**
I didn't realise this at the time that I wrote this, but the game is not free. It's free for a limited amount of gameplay, but then it costs to purchase the whole game. It's pretty awesome, though, graphically; so it might just be worth it for you. I haven't decided if I'll purchase or not because the darned thing keeps locking up on startup (requires a hard restart for the Streak).

Downloaded it and played it for about an hour up to the point that it said I have to purchase the full version to keep playing. Full version cost $15.
Did not buy it.
Other that that the game played amazing. Great graphics and video and audio stayed synced up the entire time. No freezes or reboots for me. Just doesnt seem worth 15 bucks to me. I would probably do about 6 or 7 dollars max for this game.
That was my .02.

have tried this on rc2 of honeystreak, seems to play nicely actually. very good game

anyone care to post their game saves?
great game btw i play it too much though lol

Just downloaded it last night. So you are telling me its NOT free??? Looks like a good game.

I hadn't played it for that long by the time I wrote the OP. I might pay for this game (incredibly good graphics on a mobile; this is console-quality), but it keeps locking up my tab.

lol it works but not too well

OpenTTD is great but I use the files from my real TTD.
As for this game, playing it, works very well. I like it. Tho for "drilling" seems the on screen analog stick works better then the tilt controls, for combat tilt works better.

wow, I am willing to spend 5-7 bucks like I did on the xbox live games on my hd7, but no chance I'm spending 15 on any mobile game where a hard reset might mean me having to start the whole thing over. Maybe it will go onsale at some point.

Ok what I am reading from the official website, Galaxy on fire 2 is free, but what you can pay 5$ for is the Valkyrie DLC addon, which adds new story, abilities etc.

Galaxy On Fire is free till you get to the second level, then it tells you you have to purchase the game to go any further.

Yea which sucks.. 15$.. =/
But I do wonder, does the Android version not have the Valkyrie dlc?

gamesave share?
anyone willing to post their game saves??
you need root explorer to extract the save
the file directory is as follows
/sdcard/android/data/net.fishlabs.Galaxyonfire2THD/files/GOF2/gof2nvidia_v01
in there is where you will locate your gamesaves

Now the support was helpful at the start and I did receive free games for my troubles but when they refunded my games that I bought, now that's when I started to flip the table, and my ****. A refund was never asked nor was it implied.
So, does anyone else have bad experiences with Gameloft games and their support?

You sure? I'm pretty sure it's cross-platform.

Gameloft games on Android are missing lots of features and the initial ports are buggy and lacks lots of features like Native gamepad support, less special effects than iOS versions, bad customer support, etc... . Gloft games on iPhone 4 are better than my galaxy S which has a better GPU and lower res screen Wake up Gameloft!

Cheers Gameloft! You guys have an amazing consumer support lol!

I don't get what's going on? I've noticed that on different phones, my Gameloft data would either save on the phone itself or the phone's SD card. It changed depending on the phone. Right now, the data saves on my SD card. So that's why when I flash my phone, my Gameloft data is still there. My G2 saved the data on the phone, so I had to re-download every time.
That's probably what they were talking about when referring to Android/data/Gameloft
Also, I had some games save in /Gameloft/Name-of-Game and sometimes Gameloft/gameloft-data.
It was different for every Gameloft game I had.
Is that the problem I'm reading? Did I comprehend it correctly? Or am I just way off. =.P

At least they have tried unlike EA. No reply since Feb 29

They do try. Customer support hasn't been terrible for me through Gameloft, although some things were not 100% resolved, but very close. People are complaining about iOS being more favorable than android, but with android they have to come up with so many different versions to become compatible, and iOS they don't and it is just much easier for them to code it all.

The initial ports for Android are rushed and not optimized. Gangstar Rio is the prime example - iPad files for my Galaxy S? WTF?!

I'm pretty sure Gameloft makes games in C++ and uses the Android NDK to port it over to Android like this.
