3D On The GBA
on: May 28, 2002, 03:36:58 pm
I was perusing some WC:Prophecy stuff (yey, WC on the Gameboy Advance!), followed some links and found: This and this.

If they bring out Wipeout on the GBA I'm gonna......I'll errr......Well I dunno what I'm gonna do but you can be damn sure it'll involve vast amounts of batteries and a serious lack of sunlight.

GBA is the best thing i,ve bought in recent years :). Doom is cool and these new games looks even better.

Doom 0wnz evry1! p|-|34r 17's 1337n355!

If you like Doom, just wait till ID get their hands on BlueRoses. Quake 3!!! MultiPlayer!!!!!

L and R could be up and down. B could change weapons and A could fire. L+R jump. [klingon] It would be glorious!!! [/klingon]

I have not gotten a GBA yet, but that's because I never go anywhere and don't care about portability. :p :D How much is the thing?

I spent quite some time with Doom and Wipeout in the old days as well, though. ;)

Poor you... :p

And I'd get one of those things, if they weren't so damn expensive around here...
Probably away. Contact through email.

They're down to like £50 here. The games are still £35 though. Apparently you can get a cartridge programmer thingy for roms but the damn thing costs about £200.

It's not all that expensive, £140 IIRC for the flash linker and a 128mb flash cart obviously bigger flash carts are more expensive.

I don't need to say that it's only for games you have written yourself and not for uploading romz onto because as we all know romz fall into the same category as warez.
You can back up the games you already own though and there are a lot of amature games being written for the GBAv that might be cool to try out.

Yeah. Decent games on a laptop? What are you smoking?

Or maybe it's just my laptop that doesn't play decent games. It does, however, run Photoshop 6. :D
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

When I was in hospital about 4 years ago I spent many a happy gaming hour on my dads laptop of the time. It ran Descent 2 and Wing Commander Prophecy without problems... the fun!

I don't really have any laptop, since as I said earlier, I never go anywhere. :p :D Closest thing I have is a TI-92+, but I have its memory loaded with math programs. (actually, I have a chess game as well; very cool and AI is great) Still, I am sort of thinking of buying one of those sometime this year, because I need something that can run Mathematica when the main computer is occupied (which it frequently is) and my dad says that there's not enough space in my room for a desktop with all the Legos everywhere. :p Problem is that the good ones cost quite a bit, sometimes as much as $4500, compared to around $3500 for a similarly top-level desktop.

FS2 works pretty well on my dad's laptop (some newer Dell model), but I cannot set the graphics to maximum and play with FSAA as I can on the main machine. ;)

New, expensive and good laptops can run todays games. I guess that at 1024x768 and probably max details, but some games might require more... don't know. :p
 
But laptops that are enough powerful can cost twice as much as desktop computers.
