Site News

As we’ve mentioned on the site a couple of times K-Dog and I like to play rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution. For a few months now we’ve been secretly working on a database of every rhythm game we know. You can check it out by clicking on Rhythm Game Database.

Reassessment

MAME Project

Well I ordered the X-Arcade last weekend and it’s here already! I put pictures of it in the photo gallery. Unfortunately, some of the emulators I was using would not let you remap the exit key Alt-F4. There are a couple workarounds I could try. The X-Arcade allows custom configurations that I could map to [...]

Wake Me When I’m Dead

Comics

As you can see by this comic, K-Dog is finally having his birthday party. It has historically been a pretty good time with lots of games to be played.

RC’s a Jerk :-P

K-Dog's Raves

So last night I went to Toledo with Coach, and Trim-dog 5000 to meet up with monkeygrl, lynex and kornkid. We arrived at MM round 5:45pm and found one of the 3 afformentioned person playing ddr when we arrived. We decided to start our nite off with a lil pizza so she helped [...]

My Secret Identity

Comics

Today’s comic is inspired by all the comics I’ve been reading lately. Well actually there was just two, and one kinda sucked.
I’m trying hard to decide what direction to go with the comic so I’ll leave it up to you the viewer. Should I do one shot comics about video games, movies, whatever, or should [...]

Overkill

MAME Project

Once I got the first couple of emulators working, it became so easy I went a little nuts adding more emulators. I have the following emulators working through Game Launcher:

Atari800Win - Atari 800

NNNesterJ - Nintendo

Gens - Sega Genesis

ZSNES - Super Nintendo

Z26 - Atari 2600
So far I’ve been using my Sidewinder game pad [...]

And in this corner…

Comics

Not only do Brad and I discuss which superheroes would win in fights, we also saw a fight break out at BW3s last Tuesday night. It wasn’t that big of thing, there were no folding chairs or steel cages, but it did take several cooks to break it up.

Progress

MAME Project

I installed Windows 2000 and that fixed all of my sound card and game pad issues. I spent last night getting an NES emulator running. I had tried FCE Ultra last week but was not impressed with its performance. This time I tried RockNESX. It performed really well but when you hit ESC it wouldn’t [...]
