Re: Dreamcast 2?

Found several other articles on the web, mostly from 2007 though:

I think it's fair to say this is probably an age old internet rumour. ;)

Re: Advance Wars Duel Strike

Never actually played Dual Strike, but I'd imagine it's similar to the GBA games. Agree on the story part, the GBA games had very cliche storylines. Simple yet brilliant gameplay :D yep yep yep. Well I played one for GBA it was pretty good, and I assume the darker feel of the DS one makes it that mu...

Re: C# Blackjack - Freezing?

Appears to be working now, many thanks for the reply! :worship:
Using a list also seems like the better option, prevents the need to loop through the whole array on each invoke.

Still kinda confused as to why it would function correctly in it's previous state whilst in break mode though?

C# Blackjack - Freezing?

So, I've been working on a basic console application game of blackjack using C#. All is going well, until I come across a strange problem. I haven't done any programming in a long time, and C# is a relatively new language to me, so the problem may be obvious. However, I fail to see it. Basically, th...

Re: Direct _

umm i dont know much about directx. But i think of opengl as just a bunch of libraries that handle input and 3d output. It doesnt make your graphics better, it renders your 3d graphics. (i'm correct, right?) You are. DirectX simply gives you the ability to render your 3d graphics to the screen. So,...

Re: New Gaming PC

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and info. I've decided that a 64bit OS is probably the way to go. As Trask said, it would make upgrading in the future much easier. I'm pretty sure all of the rest is fine. I'm geussing the GPU would be good enough as well? I've never bought a 200 series Ge...

New Gaming PC

Recently I have decided that it is time for me to buy a new gaming desktop, due to outdated hardware in my current machine. I have attempted to upgrade the GPU, but for some reason it seems to be rejected in general by the machine, most likely an unsolvable problem as I have tried everything that I ...

Re: Can't run games

Well, a GeForce 9100 should run those games fine. Hell, I ran Half-Life 2 on a GeForce 7600. What about your machine's RAM or it's Graphics Memory? Since your running Vista that could quite easily be an issue.

Re: Issues with SDL and VC++ 2008

Did you add the folder with SDL.h to your compiler's include directory, and add the folder with SDL.lib to the library directory? I had done so, but stupidly added the path for the include folder under the Executable Files, and not the Include ones :lol: However, even after this I get another, seem...

Issues with SDL and VC++ 2008

Re: How Do Game Developers Make A Game Look Beyond The Hardware?

Just to clear up the screenshots above, I'm pretty sure that screenshot is from GoldenEye: Source, a source mod, and not goldeneye for the GC. Hence the similar HUD.
