SNES is still my favouite console of all time. n64 graphics were fail. gameplay went down the tube because they were too busy making 3d platformers. i didn't mind golden eye, and mario kart 64 was the best of the mario kart games, but overall, i still prefered the SNES. now that snes games, such as donkey kong and mario are making a come back in 2d side scrollers on the WII i'm happy, but the fact that some of them can't be played with a regular controller shits me to tears. fkn hate having to shake the controller to get it to do certain moves because half the time it doesn't work. for this reason i haven't played much of the latest donkey kong game.

ahhh i remember the late nights on perfect dark in the complex. with the slayer on the 3rd level ( weapon drop #5) hunting the bastards down with fly-by-wire rockets. while a laptop gun kept me safe form atack.

and lets not forget the good ol VengeSim's..... little bastards :laugh:

Playstation Store to return online May 24th - Report

Each PSN user will be able to get two PS3 titles and two PSP titles at no charge from a limited list of first-party games. In North America, the PS3 list consists of Dead Nation, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Super Stardust HD, Wipeout HD + Fury. The PSP selection is Little Big Planet (PSP), ModNation Racers, Pursuit Force, and Killzone Liberation.

So back to a previous question I had. Would this mean each user gets two games or only each PS3?

And btw, MGS had the best storyline EVER!

Though the best game I've played is Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It was perfectly balanced (i.e. hidden aspects, level difficulty, rage quits) Getting to 102% was a pain in the arse; it also didn't help when your younger brother kept deleting the f**king files.

EDIT - After this story was published, US Sony reps offered the following statement: "We've not announced a specific date other than to say we expect to have the service fully restored by end of the month. Anything other than that is purely speculative."

I guess the free stuff isn't too bad

and yes MGS is the best :cheers:

You really need to go back and play the original Mario Kart.

I did on Saturday (60hz SNES + Game Doctor FTW!) and couldn't believe how much better it was than all the sequels... plus seeing my brother have acute controller rage was tear-shedding hilarious :)

Just on Mario Kart, why did they get rid of the coins and the feather? Two elements that really add to the gameplay... and super-intense short races are infinitely better than the long races of today's Kart tracks.

i own all the mario kart games and do play them on a semi regular basis, but MK 64 is the one that gets the most game time (about 99% of the time i spend playing MK games). it has a good balance of weapons, obsticles and the ability to powerslide is good too. also the fact that the tracks aren't flat ads a bit to the gameplay as you have to thing a little bit more, picking best lines up hills and over jumps, etc.

Yeah from memory the graphics on the N64 were way better than the PS1.

Technically the N64 had the better graphics hardware compared to PSX, however the games on the N64 have very limited storage space due to the use of the old cartridge media, most of the games had to be limited in that regard.

I love my China bought PSX with its built in mod-chip :closedeyes:

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
