General Gaming / Mounting GCN on wall?

« on: June 03, 2003, 03:49:29 PM »

Okay, this may sound strange, but I'm thinking of mouting my GCN on a wall with some super glue and velcro. The velcro will hold, i'm sure of it, because it's supposed to hold up to 20 lbs... what I'm worried about is how it might effect the GCN. The velcro would bind the bottom side (where the modem ports are) to the wall, thus making the GCN vertical. The fans wouldn't be blocked but would this cause extra stress on moving parts such as the laser's motor?

General Gaming / Pro Logic II on Gamecube FAQ

« on: February 18, 2003, 12:10:48 PM »

The All Star Baseball series is also in Dolby Surround (not PL2). Some other PL2 games are Star Wars: Clone Wars and Bounty Hunter.

A few questions:

1) If a game does not mention anything of having surround sound support but I still hear music/sound effects out of the rear speakers during gameplay, does this mean that it does have some sort of surround sound support?

2) For games/TV shows in stereo (no surround sound), my reciever has three settings. Pro Logic, 3 Stereo (just the front 3 speakers and sub) and none (2 speaker stereo and sub). Which should I set it on when just viewing/playing stereo stuff? Does Pro Logic decode stereo better than just having it turned off or what?

General Gaming / Serial Port 2?

« on: February 18, 2003, 12:00:32 PM »

Okay, the modem/bba take up serial port 1. GBA player will occupy the High-Speed Port.... so what is the serial port 2 for? It's awfully small to do much. Is it possible it could be used for memory expantion like the N64 did? I don't think it would be used for a k/b or mouse as they could easily go through the controller ports.

Nintendo Gaming / Wireless Game Boy

I know the topic sounds strange but is there wireless multiplayer links out there? I would think the technology would be easy to make and since the GBC had a psedo-wireless link there'd be something better for GBA.
