    Hope I'm not tempting fate here but lets hope your username does not accurately describe your modding session. :eek: :pac:

    You all have to refer to me as Dr. Retr0gamer from now on. Next time I have a controversial opinion it will be the right opinion because I'm more highly educated than all of you.

    Thought you had to get it corrected before you make claims of doctor, no :p

    Might be appropriate to change to a Dr. Mario avatar though.

    Also, congrats!

    Speaking of higher education, just got my confirmation letter today that I'll be starting an MSc at the end of the month :) Alas, it also means my gaming budget will be pretty much non-existent for at least twelve months

    I like the feeling of superiority knowing I'm the most educated person in the dole queue.

    Argos are looking for Christmas staff.

    It saddens me that that actually seems like a compelling offer at this point :(

    As I said, Nintendo are a bit hairy to be messing around...Sony could do a PS1 on their ass here.

    Pffft it's hardly a Virtual Boy is it??

    It'll probably burn your eyes out of your head quicker than a VB with a cordless drill for a screen:pac::pac:

    Lol, I dunno...o1s1n will surely back me up here but being a kid of the VR era...this really appeals to me. The 3D thing is the icing on the cake. Total immersion 3D in 1080p, with full on surround sound, if done right, would simply rock.

    Oh yea it certiantly would kick serious ass but you'd look a total plonker with a contraption like that on your face.
    Me still wanty though!!

    Yep complete with acute trauma to the neck.
    You'd be wide open to a slap or worse whilst wearing the device also and it'd make watching TV so impersonal

    Yeah, but 3D impersonal with surround sound on a virtual 750" screen...fugg social viewing I say :p

    Ah no joking aside, looking at it purely to fill the roll of a pc/console gaming screen I think depending on how the tech works, it could be really cool. Also for the times when your lookingat a blockbuster sci-fi epic on yer own (which is more often than not given most people prefer America's Next Top Model these days) it could also be a nice treat for those occasions.

    And, when all else fails...just use the telly :D

    It would be so easy to sneak and murder someone while they were using those... Was that anyone else's first thought?

    Failed

    got all the way to copying the ndure files over and got input/output errors all over the place

    Thought it was ok and swopped back and ended up with a Flashing red ring

    Which i am assuming is total death:mad:

    At this point I'd advise you to either bump Supercell's thread, or start a new one in console modding. There's lads in that thread who know the process inside out...the flashing red ring is usually the hard drive is unlocked, or can't be locked again...the code is missing for example. Docentore is a bit of a whizz with this afaik too.
