GameCubes

[_caddy_]

providing a reasonable licence from nintendo - not highly likely, but not totally impossible, gamecubes use  PPC processors, and ATI radeon hardware - if i'm not mistaken, so do the A1's, how possiblw would it be to port games?

how possible would it be for a gamecube on a card, in the same veign ans that psx one for the mac

i mean think of the possibilities of this, the total opposite of what xbox is, microsoft would pack their pants.


just a thought

[_caddy_]

i think you miss the point, or misunderstand what i mean


good decent games available on the amiga streight away

nintendo get their licencing fee, because more people buy the games,


and what i meant by opposite is that ms are a comp company
nintendo are a console company

and each other would be dabbling in foreign territory - you have realised xbox is just a PC right
[qoute]
You do understand that GameCube, like all modern consoles, is sold at a loss, right?

[_caddy_]

but psx is aged, newer games, mean newer/more gamers interested, yeah?, i mean, if that wasnt the case, why did ps2 come out?

i mean, i dont have debian linux running on my dreamcast for nothing you know!

You could ask Creative Labs how well thier 3DO Blaster sold.

 

how well did the 3do do??

how many people still have emulated snes, or gameboys, or megadrives , how many people have an emulator of some kid or another.

why's this?

because of the popularity of the actual console


the psx mac card only got stopped bacause sony sued

who cares whether its 10'000 or 10, its still more

I'm reasonably sure it's a game console. - hahaha, sarchasm

Uh... Okay. - well i'm guessing that university must be a foreign concept to you, and its a module on the games industry.


Don't know what that comment means. Both Xbox and Nintendo make money from software sales, not console sales.
 - yes, but software designed for what platforms?
oh yeah, PC and a console. M$ didnt make their money from consols - mind you neither did nintendo originally - if we're going that far back

besides mate, this is a theoretical situation, not a feasibility study
oh, and
i'll qoute my original post - "not highly likely"

i agree, but anything to get amiga back where it used to be(where it belongs) is a good thing right?

[_caddy_]

well i was guessing thet since you seem to know lots about the feasibility of what i said, that you'd been
and no - i didnt read the profile, but again, you obviusly didnt read the original post, and before you start , this isn't a flame war, so give over

and how can the comment be moronic, i'd kinda think more ironic, due to the circumstances

[_caddy_]

i'd tend to agree here, if you spend all the time upgrading hardware and software just to play a game, and sometimes it doesnt work even after that, a console is there so you can turn it on and play.

wether its a case of lazyness - (i cant be arsed messing to get it workin) ineptitude (i have no clue how to get it working) or pure impatience (i just wanna play)

why bother with all the hasslte, sometimes u just wanna play a game, and thats it

snes 10 min fix - turn it on, have ur fix, turn it off

kills time in between doing other things


[qoute]Kids today want wizzy graphics and sound as well as bouncy breasts (ala DOA Beach Volleyball  "Gameplay" comes second.[/quote] - isn't this an unfortunate truth

[_caddy_]

raises hand**

[_caddy_]

no, but my 256meg one runs it just fine, it runs properly, and a reasonable speed, that's as properly as anyones going to get

[_caddy_]

nope, running the game properly would just running the game without crashes

thats just running the game on max settings

[_caddy_]

its gonna come out for mac soon, so its definatly feasable

[_caddy_]

Plus the other blokey DOESN'T have the full spec machine to play Doom3 no matter how much he says he does


it plays doom 3 fine

just because its not in max settings, doiesnt mean it doesnt run without a hitch

i get to play the game, and i'm assuming you can work this out.

min specs for doom 3:

1.5Ghz P4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500
384Mb of RAM
2Gb of hard drive space.
An nVidia GeForce 3 or ATI 8500 graphics card

i have above those specs , and therefore i can run doom 3

who cares about max graphics, as you yourself pointed out!!!

Don't be silly!  An elegant OS does not counter the fact that modern PC's and the G5 Macs have HUGE memory bandwidth ... the AmigaOne is running PC133 SDRAM!  In single channel!  It hasn't a hope in hell of being able to shove the amount of data around that Doom3 requires.

i know that, you people have never heard someone take the piss??

[_caddy_]

it cant be that had to copy gc discs

i've heard that someone has written a program for gamecube, so that it will read from its own network adaptor
then you can stream games images off you're hard drive onto the cube, and it thinks its reading them from cd


apparently this was developed for testing homebrew games, but suddenly appeard on the pirate scene as a way of pirating  games - i've also heard that you can change the the cube, by getting a bigger box, and it'll read dvd's
