Nutron you shouldn't just base your whole opinion on one game, in this case Nintendogs. Sure i don't particularily like the game either, but look at the other great games that have been produced, maybe try playing a DS and some of the popular games if you don't like it then fine at least you've tried the games and can say so.

Yeah i agree, but if you dont want to be running linux which would be simpler id imagine, then you should try a google search, try the keywords xp on a ps2, who knows you might actually find a forum topic about this. Lol you would hate to be redirected back here again, im sure there are many ps2 modding sites that can help. Good luck on your search for XP on a PS2.

There are guides on google, that allow you to solder a usb connector onto the controller, but this will void the warranty, and also you would only do this if you know something about electronics. Or you could go with the easier alternative and get an adapter that you plug in and it goes into a USB port, many of these exist around the internet shops for nearly every console. Also you could think of going out and buying a PC controller, as many, if not most, say 70% are a design of the PSX/PS2 controller. These PC controllers have the same amount of button and sometimes more. These are probably around the same price as an adapter so you have a tough choice now, whether you want a controller or adapter.

I dont know how people can sit there and maintain their theory nay belief that Nintendo is childish, they almost always have no proof to back this up. I am getting fed up with people saying "oh well they just made Finding Nemo, this must mean they're a childish company." Seriously, grow up! They have made many mature games Resident Evil for example. They dont make too many mature games as they want money, where does money from selling games come from gamers, what age group are the majority of the gamers in? They are children, thats why they make so many games that appeal to both children and adults alike. Thats Nintendo's idea to get adults and older people back into playing games, which is what they are doing with the Wii. People need to stop being such sony fanboys and enjoy other consoles. I am not a Nintendo fanboy, i enjoy playstation games aswell, but most games i play i get bored of straight away or after around 2 hours of gameplay.

I agree with KuBi and AeonLan, If you advertise spamming on your forums no one will take your forums seriously, pretty soon it will be filled with idiots spamming alot, and soon you will be wondering why you ever created a spam board. You wont get alot of members, contrary to what many believe just because you have alot of topics created doesn't mean you will gain members, if anything your loyal members will be fed up and leave. People that visit your site wont go "Wow theres so many topics, i should join this popular forum." If they were smart they will do what everyone else does, and look where the majority of topics are coming from, if they find its from a spam board then they will not take much interest. Also i dont think that people actually exist on Earth just to spam, so they wont live at the spam area, which means you should make it a price to spam, like say deducting post count or credits. This way if you have a reward system people wont want to spam alot, but still spam if they can afford it.

Nintendo Ds & Nintendo Wii & Ds Web Browser
Caped_Crusaider replied to edandbet's topic in Computer Gaming
They make you pay for the web browser as it isn't made by Nintendo, it is actually made by Opera, the web browser is Opera the same as on PC's. Because it's not Nintendo that developed the web browser they have to charge you for it, i'm sure if it were a browser made by Nintendo then it would more likely be alot cheaper. And TripleH13, you need to think more logically, you say that if you have the original games then they shouldn't charge you but whats stopping someone saying they have the original games but dont and are essentially doing something illegal? Also if you have the original games, why not just play them on the original system if you dont want to pay for them? -
I don't know why anyone would want their forum spammed for a breif period of time. Why not simply get a user to be the spam moderator, create a spam thread where they can spam and not be banned and also where they don't receive post count. There are many mods for PHPBB forums and im sure many others, so if thats what you would like just do a quick google search. That way your faithful members have somewhere to spam, and you can rest assured that your members wont get post count. Although you may have done this now but why bother making the spamming for only a short time?

Futurama Or The Simpsons what do you choose
Caped_Crusaider replied to Rap_Speedy's topic in General Discussion
Well, it seems that theres a topic on this on every forum I visit, and what do you mean 5 seasons? There is only 4 i have all the DVD's and theres only 4 seasons. Ah a quick Tv.com search gives me the answer i needed, it would seem that some of each season was on a previous season's last DVD disc. Confused? As am I, you see each disc has around 6 episodes, so the last disc of season 1 is actually the beggining of season 2 and so on, this is why the alleged season 5 episodes are all on my season 4 discs, so if anyone asks that question theres your answer.The Simpsons have ran for too long and im glad that they are going to stop it after the movie, i prefer Futurama alot more. Most of the Simpsons episodes are basically what has happened before, or alot of clip shows. Futurama never ran for more than 4 seasons so many people never got over it, thats also the reason they are going to make another season or two. Because of all the loyal fans going out and buying the DVDs or signing the many petitions. Futurama is way better than the Simpsons as the show doesn't go for cheap laughs like the Simpsons, big deal if Homers stupid and runs into things its funny the first couple of times, but don't over do it. -
Balttlefield sweet or did it lost its charm ?
Caped_Crusaider replied to Rap_Speedy's topic in Computer Gaming
By "Battlefield the new one" do you mean 2142? If so then i haven't played it but that game looks amazing, as soon as i have my computer working ( if you've spoken to me on MSN you probably know what i mean ) then ill go out and by this, I am curious whether the online multiplayer would go well on 256 internet, and also if the single player is good incase its not, i dont really want to go out and pay around $100 for something which has terrible single player and not be able to play online. But the graphics look great but unfortunately haven't played it yet. -
I as 107 other people have voted for Gmail, there are so many different reasons why Gmail is the best. I have used both of the email services and would have to say i prefer Yahoo but thats not an option. The best of the two is definitely Gmail, it has a SPAM folder, now i havent used hotmail for about a month so don't start saying that im an idiot and that Hotmail does have one, as it didn't when i used it. Also Gmail has a massive amount of space and as they say, you don't even have to bother deleting messages. A very useful feature of Gmail is the ability to search all your messages for either a keyword or sort it by messages from a certain person. The message system is easy to use and understand, as its like a single conversation with one person, each time you reply or they reply it gets added to tabs. So you can click each tab and read all the messages. When i used Hotmail i constantly kept getting SPAM messages and junk mail, with Gmail i may still get some but it all gets added into a SPAM folder. I also like the option to delete all the mail in the SPAM folder, as sometimes i get abit lazy and don't check my mail for weeks and sometimes have over 100 messages. Gmail is definitely the best out of the two, its design is sleek and also it has so many great features.

Can you tell me the maximum temperature for an AMD Socket AM2 Athlon 64 dual core 3800+, i know you have stated a AMD Athlon 64 X2 but im not sure if it is the same for all sockets and models or if they differ from socket to socket.

Well since you have said that you didn't like Zone Alarm, you could try Norton Internet Security trial, and if you think that its good and does the job well then buy it. I have used many different firewalls, the windows XP SP2 firewall, Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security and another that i don't know the name of. In my experience Windows firewall by itself is useless, Zone Alarm is too frustrating trying to work out how to get it to allow a port or program, and Norton Internet Security while i had it working was great, i didn't seem to get any viruses or anything else. If you don't want to try Norton as many people say it eats up resources which i don't believe, then you could always download a free virus scanner and firewall combo such as Avast, I am running it and its working great. I'm pretty sure it comes with a firewall, plus the updates are downloaded by itself and it has a little sound file telling you that the virus protection is updated. Try it and tell us what you think, if you don't like it i'll suggest a new one.

Nintendo Ds & Nintendo Wii & Ds Web Browser
Caped_Crusaider replied to edandbet's topic in Computer Gaming
This is really really old news, pretty much everyone knew about this when the Wii was announced, if not then, they also said so when the Pokemon games were announced. Im pretty sure it was mentioned in the E3 press release as well. But still the DS Web Browser is pointless, unless you are out somewhere where theres no internet access and you really need to use the web then don't bother getting it. You need to be near your computer in order for you to even use Wifi normally so you may aswell go on the computer and use it.As for the DS and Wii connectivity its amazing technologically, just think of what the future holds, although it is like the tablets you can buy for your pc, where you use a touch screen and stylus to control what happens on the monitor, these are most usefull for those who enjoy graphics editing as it gives you more control. Only difference is the Wii and DS communicate wirelessly. -
Firefox 2 Whos has it and what do you think?
Caped_Crusaider replied to BooZker's topic in The Internet
I have to say that this is the greatest browser out! Sure it has some flaws, and crashes sometimes but they were extremely smart and added the option that if your computer crashes then it asks if you want to continue, the next time you open up Firefox. That is a great feature as my old computer is always crashing and its really frustrating to have to frantically search through the history tab to find the great websites that i was on. I especially like the spell checker feature, although i have made very few mistakes i've found that many of the words aren't actually added to the dictionary. Its not as thought its a chore to add new words but its really stupid, you would think that they would already have a massive dictionary list, or at least instead of creating their own got some site like dictionary.com to do it, Also its really annoying that if you type a word in that it does not even include words with apostrophes in them. But other than those few very small annoyances i really like Firefox 2, its great. And if you havent i advise you all to download and start using this instead of stupid Internet Explorer which stole most of the other browsers features. -
Leaving Your Computer On? - is this good for it?
Caped_Crusaider replied to nickmealey's topic in Software
I had always wondered if I should leave my computer on all night or continue downloading the next day, my friends would always say that it is very, very bad and that i would be stupid to do something like that. Well I have asked alot of people and from my understanding plus what they have all told me, it really depends what you are doing on the computer whilst leaving it on. As say if you were playing games or downloading then it will use alot of system resources and my friend told me that this is bad as the computers always 'working' but on the other hand if you leave it on say stand by mode or hibernate where it is basically shut down but still technically on, my friend tells me that this is ok. Im not actually sure if this is all correct but it seems logical, as if the computer is working then it will be heating up and if it is not doing anything then it should stay reasonably cool and safe right? I wouldn't leave my computer on again as it could possibly be the reason that my computer has died, but it is around 3 years old so the motherboard is fairly warn out and is dying :'( But aside from having my motherboard fail on me alot nothing bad has really come from having my computer on, and i leave it on for around 8 hours some days and it is right next to a ducted heating vent so it does get pretty warm. But nothing bad has happened which is great news, i can tell you that im not risking it by leaving my new computer on all night though. Can anyone tell me if what my friend has told me about the computer 'working' whilst left on could possibly ruin it, or if theres more to it than what he said, as in he forgot to mention something? -
[sharing] Great Wallpaper For Your Xp
Caped_Crusaider replied to adidarma's topic in Operating Systems
They're...alright, most of those are either taken from Windows Vista which i'm pretty sure could be illegal as its not officially released, or they are inspired by Vista. I guess they are alright but when you stare at them for as long as i have as i've used Vista for a while then they lose all they're greatness. -
When i first saw this topic and that very scary picture of a child holding a creature in plastic packaging. The picture made me think of all those horror movies with animals or robots or something going crazy and killing people. Some movies that come to mind are I Robot, Gremlins, The Simpsons episode with Funzo and so on. That picture looked so fake and corny, if you were advertising a product that looks scary and strange why would you want to have a child looking like that? Sure it may work but some people would think its odd. I am really glad that it was all a hoax and that these things aren't real, although someone would have had to make the product to take the pictures right? So maybe one of these is out there, only its not alive or real.

Um is it me or does Survival Project look alot like Animal Crossing? Maybe the game is based on Animal Crossing or was inspired by it. Either way im sure ill be downloading it and trying it. There is also an online mod for the popular GTA franchise. It is called MTA or Multi Theft Auto for those who dont know. There are instructions on installing and running the game on the official site aswell. I recomend it for those who like GTA and want to play multiplayer online.

Um you do realize that Sony has copied Nintendo on alot of things if not all of Nintendos ideas, and you guessed it, they copied Nintendo's success with Nintendogs and are bringing out their own dog game for the PSP. Of course it wont be as good as Nintendogs as that game was all about touch and voice recognition. So you wont be able to escape all of Nintendo's great ideas on a Sony console as they are sure to copy it, just look at the Wii and its motion sensor controller. Who copied it? Thats right Sony.

This game isn't a BlueRay disc, I was simply stating that i hope its requirements aren't as high as the requirements for running a BlueRay drive on your computer. I said that because i saw some screen shots which looked really good and i assumed it was the PC version but later turned out to be the PS2 version. I have heard that this game is coming out to PC but it will probably be a couple of months afterwards of the console releases.

Free Domain Registration -- No Such Thing
Caped_Crusaider replied to phpfreek's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I'm pretty sure he means that the topic of free domain names in general isn't free. I may be wrong but i think that he means that the provider who gives you the domain is losing money. As he said it costs a minimum of $8 to register them. He probably means domains such as .com and .net or .org, whereas many people think that the domains that they are using are free, when they are actually sub domains or not very good at all. There are many topics here at Xisto about said domains, so if you are unsure what im talking about or unsure what i mean then i suggest you use the search button or look in the freebies section. -
I can see many advantages of having such a huge email inbox size, but lets face it no one is going to get 30 Gigabytes of mail, sure some people wouldn't need to delete spam anymore but there are email providers that will delete spam automatically, so there really isn't any need for such a huge mailbox. I wouldn't keep spam, as it looks messy and it is almost always hard to find the mail im looking for. That is why i prefer a faily big email provider but also one that has been around for a while as i trust it more. So i use Yahoo. Its good and most importantly has 1 GB storage. I like it because i can easily find my mail and also because i know that there isn't a large amount of space going to waste as its never going to be filled. So who is going to ever use a full 30 GB? I dont know anyone that popular or anyone that recieves that much spam. Ill pass on this but im sure some people could put this to use.

Well my favorite characters from the old Mortal Kombat games would have to be Sub-Zero, Scorpion, but from the new games probably Kung Lao.Sub-Zero is an excellent character to choose as he can freeze enemies from afar or close range if your truly skilled at the combos. His ice attacks are very hard to dodge and can stop the other players from doing combos, or getting out their weapon. His ice clone move is very good for dodging moves and getting out of the way of opponents. I especially like his weapon, not only is it sharp and spiky, in other words good for dealing lots of damage, it can freeze the enemy just like his attacks. The only downside of choosing Sub-Zero is that if you accidentally use his freezing move twice it will unfreeze your opponent and freeze you. But i always found a way to stop the enemy from getting me or just jumping and hoped that it wouldn't reach me.Scorpion is a very good choice for those who are good at close range combat, as he can shoot a spear into the opponent and bring them closer to you, also this move stuns the enemy. I used to always make him breath fire and sometimes it killed them. His weapon was good at doing damage except i always got hit and dropped it when ever i was about to attack. Those were my favorite and most used characters from the old games. From the new game my favorite character would definitely have to be Kung Lao. He is the best character i found as his hat has a razor around it and you can do all sorts of different moves and upgrades with it. My favorite is the one where you make it spin around you like a shield and you also damage enemies that you run up to. But I also liked the one where it flies off and spins in a crazy shapes. He has pretty good combos and also he can be very usefull for getting enemies far away.My favorite game of the series is definitely Mortal Kombat:Shaolin Monks. It allows you to choose, Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, and Scorpion aswell as another character for the single player adventure, there is also a co-op mode that you can play to unlock secrets in the game. This game is a must for anyone who likes the series and also for those who like fighting games.

Actually, some people here have said that Vista is slow and not worth it, but i have to say that i am not running a 3 GHz computer, nor do i have 3000 MB of RAM, but i found that Vista has ran faster than Windows XP did. Vista is not worth it for gaming so far, some benchmarks that i have seen are at least 30 fps or Frames Per Second behind Windows XP. But the benchmarks for application performance are really close to the XP equivalent. So those that want to say Vista is slow, maybe its your computer, as for most of us it has run way better.

This game seems good, i personally wouldn't buy it as i don't like any of Rockstars previous GTA games, seriously who'd play them? I would only buy this game if it had alot of excellent ratings and also if the system specifications aren't as high as BlueRay drives.
