    The Nintendo 3Ds

    Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a half-arsed effort for six years of R&D? The screen? Horrifically low resolution at 400x240, less than the PSP of all things. (you won't see 800x240 due to the parallax barrier) The colours? Disgusting and nonsensical. The shape? Some weird...

    A Charging Bug

    The Samsung D600 has the exact same issue, and worse, it defaults to holding the screen on full brightness until unplugged.

    The Jungle Of Opengl, Where To Start?

    You're forgetting GL 1.4 which is as easy to use as fixed function but you can use pixel/vertex shaders and the fixed function values are available in the shaders.

    Pandora What Are The 3D Limitations Of The Pandora?

    Look up glBlendFunc. You can do all kinds of funky (badum tish) things with it, such as inverting the colours of whatever sits behind, adding to the colours (making a bright light) or blending between the two (good for smoke) and glEnable( GL_ALPHA_TEST ) is good for cutouts such as leaves and...

    Screen Burn

    The actual LCD matrix shouldn't suffer from burn in. I think it's got a LED backlight which shouldn't have any noticable fade over five years. Cold cathode backlights tend to fade in five years of heavy use. OLED screens can burn in. But TFT-LCD? I doubt it.

    Guitar Simulator Application

    If you have the patience and equipment for it (mainly a good room, a decent acoustic guitar, a stereo pair of small-diaphragm condenser mikes, preamp and A/D converter), that would be awesome! Have you recorded your own multisamples before? I don't have any proper professional equipment but I...

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    How do other platforms, such as PocketPC and the iP* handle this kind of thing? I've never noticed it clocking back up, both of them seem to be truly instant-on.

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    Sounds fairly ropey if I'm gonna be honest. Ambiguous power state, and a standby mode that does very little to save power?

    A Vm-Based Game Engine

    As it'd be in bytecode it'd be pretty well obfusticated as it is and I have an encryption scheme in mind which should be very strong.

    A Vm-Based Game Engine

    I've been teaching myself how to program in C now for about three years and whilst I'm not exactly Mr. Torvalds I feel fairly competent, especially working with GL and the like. I've also done quite a bit of work with Unreal Engine 3 and think it'd be an interesting project to make something...

    Pandora Potential

    QUOTE Twilight Princess It may have had occasional moments such as the meadow shots and the believable cutscene animations, but the dungeons looked like leftover material from Tomb Raider 2 and OOT mashed together. Inconsistency hurts. And the framerate sucked.

    Pandora Potential

    There is only one game on the Wii that looks good, and that is Metroid Prime 3. Every other game looks and plays like a PS2 game on PS1 hardware. It's a waste of space, Nintendo may as well have handed out controller port adaptors for the Wiimotes and an expansion port addon for the Wi-Fi...

    Are You Going To Get One?

    I was going to get one, but then I got offered a 4GB XP eee PC for £160 and I've changed my mind, I'm afraid. Still looks somewhat kick ass.

    Shiny, Glossy, Or Matte?

    The screws are covered by rubber pads you have to use a scapel on. You should see mine.

    Two Spriters Looking For A Programmer

    I think that looks OK so far, although he needs to lift his legs more when moving them forwards, and point them down slightly at the end of each backwards stroke.

    Pandora Questions About 3d Engine Being Ported To Pandora

    CC was indeed a nightmare, I remember joining people with a single GBA and then plugging in a standard GC controller.
