It is most correct, you do rape Mac alot James. We know you love Apple, you love iPod and how you love Mac, but the rest of us are on Windows, please don't taunt us with your huge screen that can display an amount of stuff that is simply not needed. Mac lack software and alot of other things, the only good thing i can see at the minute is that they are super virus free

That's bull. Large displays aren't exclusive to Macs...I'm sure if you plugged an Apple Cinema Display into a WinTel it would work fine. And don't say that the extra space is not needed, because it often is. For example, I often perform video editing on my Mac, and I'm very grateful for my large screen to get the largest video size while editing. Screen size is always valuable, but, of course, you don't know that since your display's probably set to 640*480 x 256 colors x 60hz.

Well well, now both sides ciossed the line. Discussing about Mac and PC is like discussing if you like blue or green and which is the best.
Both are colors, we can see them by the same principle and both have their uses, advantages, disadvantages and quirks.
Nobody is better or worse because they use a specific system or have a specific thing.. and that is what is behind this type of flame wars always. Just reread what is posted above and see where the attacks start to become personal. Please try to avoid that.
Besides, Linux rules ^^

I'd probably use one of the other operating systems, but being forced to download less-popular specialist versions of programs would make feel like a cripple of the computer world.

Only if you only care about popularity and impressions.

Hear, hear. Also, as a person whose spent many years using both Windows and Mac OS, Mac programs, "specialist" or otherwise, are much more well-programmed and feel a lot "cleaner" than a program that does the same task as an equivalent Windows program. Microsoft Office itself, probably the most used program ever on both Windows and Mac, has a far better Mac version (though I won't use it anyway because it's just as bloated as the Windows version.

)

and so on...
Heh, that was great. Nice one.
Yeah I do crowbar my Mac into conversations a lot, and I know I do it, but hey, it's one of the few purchases I've ever made that I'm 100% happy about, and I just want WinTel people to know that there is another choice out there. Too many people don't even realise they have a choice when it comes to operating systems.
Although I must say, I am looking forward to Windows Vista - because by the time it's released, Mac OS Leopard will be here.
And 8bitsonic's point stands anyway, big displays aren't exclusive to Macs. You can use Apple Cinema Displays with PCs, or just get a bigger monitor anyway as Artemio clearly has. I don't see the logic in buying a high-end computer and not having a massive display for it. It makes sense to be able to view multiple documents at once.
PS I never meant this to become an OS fanboy thread, as I was simply comparing my screen size with Artemio's in a bit of good natured cock-size comparing banter, so any more guff about Windows/Linux/Mac needs to go in its own thread.

Mac OS Leopard, huh? I've got the names of all 5 Mac OS X versions memorized:
- Puma
Cheetah
Jaguar
Panther
and Tiger.

Well that's quite a feat, isn't it?
Incidentally I know my own phone number and can recite it at will.

Impressive... I can count all my fingers and toes without looking.

Indeed. Video evidence is required here I think.

I agree, i thought i could count my fingers and toes, it ended with a trip to the emergency room because i was too confident

Nah, I've memorised each one. I count them in a specific order so I don't get confused. I've actually named them all by the numbers I call them out on. I'm using One, Three, Four, Seven, Eight and Nine to type this message now, actually.

Go to the config menu in the emulator (again, for PSP). Go to key config, and set the "7" key to the left direction button. Set the "8" key to the up direction button. And set the "9" key to the right direction button. I've tried setting the down button to the other keys, but could not get it to work.
Doing the game this way will give you 3 targets to hit the Snatchers at. Other than that, you'll need a little luck so that enough Snatchers get in the right place... and $50 for each time you play. It won't take long, pretty easy once you get used to it. I even made $1000 playing the game later on.
Thank you so much! Gonna try it now..
Was going to save it to the empty disk, load it up on my pc and then play the mini game. But for now I'll try this... how hard is the second game? (I've read the faq)...

Here is how to do it.
First you need to download
2xx Emu Pack (for phat) or the 3xx Emu Pack (for slim)
then put emulator called pspmsx on your psp (you know where)
So put the disk files in the disk folder.
Start emulator
in emulator options choose:
keyboard - then set up your controls
I chose:
up: 2
down: 5
left: 3
right: 4
cross: 9
square: 7
triangle: 6
circle: 8
L trigger: 0
R trigger: 1
joy up: graph
joy down: space
joy left: shift
joy right:
hit save keyboard
(it also works well swapping tri squar crcle cross with the joy set up)
then select: back to menu
then choose settings (right below keyboard)
sound enabled: yes
sound volume: 10
msx version: msx2+
msx ram: 512
render mode: fit
save settings again
back to menu again
select load disk 0
then select disk0
when screen comes up hit your 0 key
then go back to menu by hitting the psp select key
choose load disk 0 and load disc 1
back on game screen hit anything like it says and the game starts!
when asked to load disks do it the same way by choosing load disk 0
and load the disk prompted to be put in.
enjoy!

Also when you need to save. Save in the menu save state.
When you go back to game after turning it off just load proper disk
you will get an odd screen just ignor and go to menu and load state!
When exiting emulator do it through the emulator menu.
