Quite simply:

User posted items that were well outside the remit of what we're allowed sell.
Moderator issued a warning, not an infraction or a ban, but a warning...which would have expired after 10 days.
Moderator then advised user to remove items.
Moderator then felt it prudent to remove items himself, for fear that it might cause trouble for the Markeplace, thinking user might be afk.
User then retracts all ads, & closes account.

Nothing more, nothing less. No conspiracy, this was completely the users decision. The moderating was spot on, the action taken was spot on, the decision to close the account however, seems like a huge over-reaction.

And, running through a Famicom, it's as speedy as it's supposed to be.
They did, I believe, simplify some elements of the backgrounds, for reasons that escape me.

I've never seen one before, nobody has, but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

I was posting earlier about a PSP problem I had and it's fixed now. Turns out, with the Sega emulator I have, you have to boot the .cue file from your roms to play list.

If you select a .bin, you won't get background sound.

This probably isn't a problem if you saved your games as a .iso but I saved mine to .bin (copied from the discs I had, not downloaded).

Haven't noticed any real lag yet playing Earthworm Jim, Sol Feace, Road Avenger and Ecco the Dolphin. Graaaand.

here if you have 2 mins try this
http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user16_v1lBHnqvBe_5.py
it works best in chrome(but if you dont mind it being a little jerkier it'll work in Firefox. Hit the play(triangle) icon to run it in a browser.
It doesnt do anything nasty , honest!
I've been doing a python programming course the last 8 weeks or so .. while I was doing the projects I was also knocking together my own sh!te games just to get the hang of some concepts we were learning.
anyhoo I cobbled together two of them to make a very very basic 1942 style game .The code is really sloppy as I was just messing about and fixing it on the fly(way too many global varibales , and some messy placeholder stuff like the 'jump' instead of 'roll' animation.No bosses or ending (yet!), and need to fix up animation and spritesheets too...

the groutch · 19-06-2013 10:30PM

Any of you guys know your pinball?

The museum of Pinball got in touch me today about being on the podcast, so a pinball themed one might be cool.

So MS have decided to drop the DRM and online check in for the Xbox one. Interesting...

confused now, will i change the preorder back again?!? might just preorder both and make my mind up closer to launch, in fairness I thought microshaft had a better showing of games at e3. On a semi related note finished deadly premonition yesterday, really enjoyed it and surprised it had'nt come up on the radar earlier (picked up ps3 version) story is completely fooked up, ps2 era graphics/glity sound/dodgy gameplay/hilariously bad driving but for some reason it all seems to work, really cant explain it but defo recommended esp for twin peaks fans of old like myself. The story borrows heavily from it as does the soundtrack and wow what an ending

looking forward to swery's xbox one title d4.

Meanwhile, Logan Run's is getting a remake , Bioshock creator is developing the script..

CiDeRmAn · 20-06-2013 10:26AM

So, where am I going to find €1500 to buy both the Xbox One and PS4 and games for both?
So, where are the PS3 and 360 going to live now?
So, how am I going to convince She Who Must Be Obeyed of the need to own all these machines?
And, where on earth am I going to store my 360/PS3 game collection in the gamesroom?
