How much for just a SD Gecko? I already have a better case.
-
I was just about to post a number of individual SD Gecko's for sale. $15.00
-
We will have gamebits in stock by the end of the week...
-
The gamebits are now in stock.
Send mail to the site if you are interested in a 3-way combo of a case, SD Gecko and Gamebit for $30 + shipping and I'll get a package deal listed for you in the color of your choice...
Or a case and Gamebit for $19.50.

Prices lowered a bit recently...

You can't just let it go...
Well, I believe there may be a VB->C# translator since the 2 languages are functionally identical. Then some rocket scientist like you can take that code and edit it to JAVA or C++. :P
Anyway, I have a Wii reserved and for sale on www.gameparts.biz and will be adding Legend of Zelda tonight. Be prepared to pay a few extra $$$. I have another that I'll be putting on ebay the week before launch.
I may even consider putting my third Wii up for sale... I can wait a few weeks to get it, I have way too many Gamecube games I still need to finish...
-
Woo, so is there a C# to VB converter as well? ;-)
-edit-
Apparently so - according to a quick google :-D

C-Sharpener , lol!
I still prefer VB syntax. The discussion about E vs. C vs. VB syntax... One of the arguments was about:
while (foo()) {bar()}
being shorter than
While foo()
bar()
End While
my answer is:
1) programmers don't have to be speed-typists to be effective
2) we no longer only have 39141 bytes of free ram for BASIC programs
3) bar() is an ideal as in a strict sense and while/switch/if-then branching statements are 1 lone function that contains all the necessary code, but the reality it that they usually contain umpteen lines of code in the branches with more if-then (etc...) statements... so things get real messy and to me VB syntax just keeps it cleaner
from a business IT perspective, cleaner code; manageable code is preferred vs. whatever gets the job done the fastest
now back on topic:
VISIT www.gameparts.biz and BUY!

I'd prefer:
while (foo()) {
bar();
}
-or-
While foo()
bar()
End While
However, I find braces more than adequate. The argument that C's terseness is related to memory requirements is utter rubbish btw ;-)
-
I've posted my Legend of Zelda pre-order on www.gameparts.biz , I don't believe there will be any additional shipping charge if it's purchased with the Wii system I have on there.

Order placed.
