News just in of a drunk retro gamer being arrested after following a local pensioner home, making sexual advances and insisting she was Asian. The pensioner had played along until, following coitus, the retro gamer had become agitated as he looked for a bottle of rum and overturned the front room. The retro gamer, now named as Atavan Halen, had a statement released via his solicitor who said, regarding the sex, "Still Counts!" and fist punched the air....

Retr0gamer

It depends on the game.

Do you lads (and possibly lasses) know anything about sorting the Wifi on the original DS? I wanna see if I can battle my sister's Charizard from Galway to Drogheda.

From what I remember, it doesn't support WPA and only WEP. I might be wrong though, it's been ages now since I've used one.

Retr0gamer

Yep, it only supports WEP so you'll have to change that in your router.

Or set up a secondary virtual wireless network if your router supports it.
That way you can have nasty crappy WEP encryption on that without putting your real network at risk. That's what I did to allow some older equipment gain internet access safely.

deathrider

Deadly stuff. I understood none of that, but I'll try it out. Thanks, folks

Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3!!!

CosmicSmash

Had to laugh at this poor lad who had to display his prize in the rage, why so sad?

CiDeRmAn

He got the game in a FB competition, part of his winning answer or whatever was to collect his prize dressed as a bunny, and they made him keep to his promise!
Not sure why he was so glum, perhaps he thought it was going to include the box, manual and map?

Not really retro but is somewhat retro related.
Anyone know the laws/rules in shipping liquid plastic resin into Ireland from the US? It's used in 3D printing and my next 3D printer will probably use it so I need to do some research on the consumable side of things.

This is the printer:

It will be used much the same as my current Makerbot Replicator (arcade and console/computer parts as well as lots more as those of you I've printed stuff for will know) except the finished product will be a lot sharper and higher resolution so will look closer to the real thing (as in parts you cant really buy any more).

A bit tacky but something similar could be done to many an IKEA storage unit and keep it a bit more low key.
