Contra is 25 years old today apparently. 25 years ago the original was released in arcades.

I feel old.

For someone to be able to buy booze now, they have to have been born before 1993. 1993!!!

Not only would they not remember Italia 90, they wouldn't be alive for another 3 years.

****ing mental!

Hey I was only playing it, well Probotector, on the Nes yesterday!
I was also playing Boulder Dash, and I bet Sparks was thinking of it at the same time.... but then again, he always thinks about Boulder Dash...

I was in my first year of nurse training in 1990, having already done a year of an applied science degree in Kevin St.
Bloody kids!

It was more of a stab at Steve SI than anything else!

The rich bastard he is!

I don't think I've seen it yet, or at least remember which was yours.

Wouldn't mind seeing it though.

I was running home from playing marbles/no laughing no talking no red lights/bulldog/cutting down trees for bonfires/playing super mario at a friends house/ playing with G.I. Joe in the sand/ building massive piles of haystacks to watch the ghostbuster's cartoon in 1990.

I'm not rich, just ask Jenkins my butler. He's been looking for a raise for years.

Can you not rip your legit disc in that case?

The 'backup of a game I own' argument is still void, if the game is protected with a digital content protection system, it's illegal to evade such protection whether you own said disc or not

Can any of the evox xbmc or any others rip games to an original xboxhd like can be done on the wii?

Steve X2

If your having trouble ripping a game you own I say download it.
Xbox ISO's are all over the place anyway.

Its a native feature of UnleashX, I'm sure Evox has the same functions.

Any idea why my Amiga 1200 shows crrrrappp quality via composite?

o1s1n

Because it's composite? :pac:

Buy an RGB cable.

Dale Parish

Where do I plug that into? o0

o1s1n

One end into your Amiga, the other end into the RGB socket in your TV!

Dale Parish

You can put a RGB cable into the composite of the Amiga? o_0
(fairly new to this, always used composite and never knew any different)

o1s1n

An A1200 can do RGB perfectly, the cable looks like this -



Definitely pick one up! They're not that much really and composite looks like arse!

Dale Parish

Scart > composite?

zOMG!I just beat Crasher Wash using Infernape :eek: you may worship me now..

You gotta be trolling me now?

Not only is RGB scart a million times better than composite, some of the pins even carry a composite signal if you feel like subjecting yourself to it's uglyness.

Composite has dot crawl -



RGB scart gives absolutely perfect solid picture and colour.

Just make sure you buy an RGB scart cable (some scart cables are 'pretend' RGB and only support composite) and that you plug it into the RGB scart socket on your tv (most have two but only one support RGB..if you plug it into the wrong one you'll only see ugly composite)
