...Yeah speaking of taking apart working products I took apart a small fan and tried to put it back together (to see hat was wrong with is because it wasnt working) or fix it. Well to my dismay It didn't work. So I tried to make an electro magnet out of the coils in the fan motor and a AA battery well that didnt work. Well ok any one have any ideas on how to make it work? Does it usually plug in to the wall? The only things I can think of are that you're putting the coils on the battery wrong or the battery isn't strong enough. Or... you destroyed your fan taking it apart if it wasn't already destroyed.

It's looks pretty cool, except I bet it doesn't work very well. That's actually been around for a few years. Nobody really sells them, so they don't do too well.

Woah weird. I'm ripping that right now. *checks* Oh actually it's next in line.
Basically I'd just give you a URL to follow, then you just stick it on your computer and run it through an emulator. But uh... none of them (except one game... I think it was stupid) run quickly... almost not at all. It takes about one minute on my computer to get the little red "Nintendo" logo fade in and out. It's just something kind of cool... the beginning of GameCube emulation.

This isn't a promise, but once we get acess to a server, I might send some to you. (Just ripped Game Boy Player Start-Up Disc!)

And eight days later.... I can now rip games! I have already ripped Zelda: Collector's Edition, Zelda: Orarina of Time/Master Quest, and I'm currently ripping Zelda: Wind Waker! They work on my computer too... but very slow. I'm just going to stick to ripping them, then putting them on DVD's.

Actually I started learning this stuff when I was what... eleven? Then I told Austen about playing games you the computer and we both just figured out alot of stuff since then and "shared information" so now we know equally as much! ;D

Anything. You just need to get a feel for it first. Okay, well seeing as you know how to do it, could you direct me to a good tutorial? I can just find it myself if you don't want to go to any trouble. There aren't many good internet tutorials. This is the kind of thing that you need someone to show you. Try YouTube. It's your best bet internet-wise.

Well, what in the world am I suppose to practice on? Lol. Anything. You just need to get a feel for it first. MarioBros: It's actually very legal, as it is my GameCube.

Lol! No. I don't have openingdeviceswhenthey'renotevensupposetobephobia. And soldering, I have never done before. But there are plenty of tutorials. Yeah... but you can't learn a skill like that from the internet. Well, you can, but it's harder, and it takes at least a LITTLE practice.

(P.s. what's solder?, I feel like an idiot not asking) It's soft metal that can be used to bridge stuff and connect wires to pins (which you must do).

I bet you could sell that for ALOT. Yes. Just having someone solder the chip on is $60. If I add $60 to the price if all the hardware, It'd be from $250-$300.

Nice. I was thinking of doing that to mine a few monthes ago, but the with the Wii coming out soon and all.. Knowing you you'd be afraid you'd mess it up. XD Can you solder?

Wow, that's awesome. You could download whatever you want off the internet to play. Yeah. But currently only GameCube ISOs have perfect support. N64 and the rest are really laggy.

I hacked my GameCube (actually last week) and neglected to write a thread about it because I was too lazy to make proof. Now that I HAVE proof, here it is: Basically, I had to open it up and solder a mod chip on. I used a qoob PRO: the best one out there. Now I can play burned games. Notice I also changed the case. It is now big enough for full-sized DVDs (and it's clear). I have a burned copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee in it. It doesn't lag at all: plays perfectly. I don't reccomend this, though, unless you can solder and you have a long night ahead of you. I ordered a BBA (broadband adapter) frm Nintendo today so I can actually RIP my games. You can't do that like this; you can only play burned games. (In case you don't know, when I say rip, I mean make an exact copy of the disk compressed into a file.) You also need Nero to do this. (Nero is burning software. Don't think that you can use regular burning software to do this though; you must have Nero for it to be perfect.) Alltogether, I've spent about $155 not counting shipping. Like I said, don't try this at home kids, unless you know what you're doing.

A used flashed DS will sell on eBay for about the same as a new DS Lite if you're lucky. Otherwise it'll sell for the same as a used DS Lite....... From the condition of yours, don't expect alot though. XD Unless you like scrub it or something. Flashing a DS adds at least or around $50 to it. I've been doing stuff like this since I was ten. Ask Mantis. I sent him an email around that time telling him that I could play Super Mario Bros on the computer and it went off from there. He's more informed than me but I can do more stuff. IE we can both flash DS's, but I can also quickly install a GC modchip. Austin, I think you owe me for the DS flashing walkthrough, by the way. XD

I'm looking for CD-i ROMs or ISOs or whatever they are. If you find any, please post here. I'll post too if I find any.

You THINK you have one...? It's a 1.4 GB file. If you had it, you'd know. (Unless you're me, with 50 GC ISO'sand 580 GB of space XD)

Game? Or emulating program? emulator is the program the games called ROMS or at least most people call them that OK MarioBros, you're right. He doesn't know what he's talking about. XD ROM. Read Only Memory. There is only one name for it.

PJ64. For sure. 1964, though, has a cooler interface and the plug-ins have better support for some games, so I'd get both and make a gloabal plug-in folder. It sounds like he does know what he's talking about. Here are some N64 emulators: www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/

Ok so they would be just a brain, made to have unlimeted storage, how sould they make a brain that wouldn't deteriorate over time? That's part of the problem. They need to just get out the part that controls memory, and modify it to remember. Then they'd have to somehow implant that information in a unit which attaches to your PC as memory.

No...
The computers are to be designed with modified human genes. All they're trying to do is make them have unlimited memory. AT first they wont be reliable at all. Do we even remember what we had for dinner two nights ago? That's the problem. But if I were to say what it was then you'd remember and remember about the dinner. So they must be fixed to not forget.
That has nothing to do with self-replication and these machines will not have minds of their own. The goal is just to figure out the way the brain can store data and reflect it back onto a computer but modified to not forget.

I've heard that people are trying to make computers based on human genetics. Then they'll have unlimited capacity (like our brains) and other neat things too. Then there'd probably be weirdness too. At first, before they perfect it, you'll probably be taking your COMPUTER to the doctor for viruses. As in real viruses. Do you mean like AI or artificial intelligence? Or do you mean using real genetics? Extracting the human genes and modifying them.
