Nintendo Gaming / DSi screen protector problem

« on: July 15, 2009, 06:23:47 PM »

Hey guys,

I've had my DSi since the US launch, along with the official Japanese Hori screen protectors.
I hadn't used it for a few weeks then decided to open it.
And this is what I saw:

The bottom screen protector looks like this! I tried to clean it but that blurriness thingy seems to be between the protector and the screen itself. What should I do? can I remove it and try to apply it again? do I need to buy another one?
I have no idea where the heck this came from! Maybe because of the heat?

Nintendo Gaming / SSBB and the Hori Fighting stick

« on: March 19, 2008, 07:53:39 PM »

Hey guys,

I wonder if any of you tried but the Hori Fighting stick doesn't work with Brawl. 
Since the game has no option to use a digital d-pad, you can't move the character (the stick doesn't have an analog pad).
This sucks, I was sooooooo looking forward to use it with Brawl.

Nintendo Gaming / Dragon Ball Z: BT 3

« on: December 15, 2007, 08:46:09 AM »

I just tried the online mode for the new DBZ game for the Wii and ZOMG!! it sucks!!
It lags so much it's unplayable. I lost of course, due to the fact that I had no freaking idea of what I was doing.
You can't perform any special moves since you don't know if you have to do them normally or slowed down! haha
Nintendo and Atari better fix this up because the game is great otherwise.

General Chat / Good videogames stores in Manhattan

« on: November 15, 2007, 10:33:44 AM »

Hey guys,

On Monday, I will go on my usual trip to NYC (this time, to see the wonderful Vanessa Carlton on tour).
I also wanna look into the used videogames shops in Manhattan.
Can anyone suggest me any good shop to check out?
I'm looking for retro-games essentially (mostly SNES and PSOne) but all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

Nintendo Gaming / Final Fantasy IV DS

« on: May 09, 2007, 06:11:40 AM »

Guess what? Square-Enix is remaking FFIV in 3D for the DS.
As much as I love FF, I think S-E is milking the cow to death on this one.
I already have 2 versions (PSOne and GBA), I'm kind of tired of buying the same game over and over again (not that I have to but yeah, you get the point).

Nintendo Gaming / [Freeloader] Help!

« on: April 04, 2007, 08:10:21 AM »

Hi guys,

I have a US NTSC GC so I got the Action Replay + Freeloader quite a long time ago so I could play Doshin the Giant (Euro/PAL) on my GC. and it works fine.
Now I just bought the Euro/PAL version of Donkey Konga 2 and it doesn't work: all I'm getting is a freaking black screen. That happens on both my US GC and my US Wii.
Is Donkey Konga 2 PAL protected in some way?? (I also got the Japanese version of DKonga 1 & 2 and they both work fine)
It sucks not being able to play it since it has different songs than the US and Japanese releases.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

General Gaming / [Wii] Wired connection through USB LAN adapter

« on: February 02, 2007, 08:20:08 AM »

Hi guys,

So I finally got the USB LAN adapter for my Wii and I was trying to set it up tonight.
And I get something weird: I use an ethernet modem/router to connect to the Internet and I bought a Netgear fast ethernet switch so I could connect the Wii, the laptop and the desktop (which isn't working right now, HDD problems) to the Internet at the same time.
So I set everything up with network cables and the one going from the switch to the Wii doesn't seem to work. It's a cable I usually use for the laptop and it works fine with it.
With the Wii, the LED on the switch doesn't light up when I connect the cable (meaning there's no activity/connectivity going on). I get an error on the Wii when it is testing the connection (error 51420, which is supposedly the firewall but I tried disabling it and it didn't make any difference)
I'm puzzled, is it possible that the Wii LAN adapter only accepts ethernet standard OR crossover cables?? But not both??
I couldn't find any info on Nintendo's site about it.
So if anyone has any idea, I'm listening!
Thanks.

ps: I wasn't sure if I had to post this in the wi-fi forum or not?

General Gaming / [GameCube] Horrible picture with s-video

« on: January 05, 2007, 08:51:12 AM »

Hi,

I just got an s-video cable from Ebay (third party) so I turned on my GameCube (which is a US model, so NTSC) and gave the new cable a try, hoping for the best.
Alas...the picture quality is HORRIBLE with that s-video cable!! It's much much worse than the original cable, the colors are all washed out
I'm using the S-video cable through a SCART adapter, could this affect the picture quality? (although I don't have any other choice, as my tv is a 15" cr*ppy CRT tv).
Sure, the whole thing was less than 10 euros ('bout 13 bucks) including shipping but still, that sucks...
Does anyone here use an s-video cable and has/had the same problem??

Nintendo Gaming / Official Nintendo LAN Adapter: anyone?

« on: January 03, 2007, 04:36:56 AM »

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you ordered the official LAN adapter from the Nintendo online store.
Because the page still says "The Wii LAN Adapter will begin shipping in early January 2007.".
And guess what? it is early Jan 07!!
I want to get it but I don't wanna wait for weeks for it to be shipped. Plus I'm still wondering when it's getting released in Europe (although I heard it might be 40 euros here, around $50.00, which is a total rip-off!).
Thanks

Nintendo Gaming / SD card adapter?

« on: December 08, 2006, 02:58:51 AM »

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it's still possible to buy an SD card adapter for the GameCube.
I've searched everywhere online but couldn't find any.
Thanks

Nintendo Gaming / I'm doomed with wi-fi :(

« on: November 29, 2006, 08:38:06 AM »

Hey guys,

I bought this USB adapter that actually creates an access point on your home PC using your existing Internet connection.
I thought it was a pretty neat alternative to a wi-fi router.
Well, I can't seem to make it work. I've been emailing Hercules' support and they're actually really nice but after doing everything they told me to, my laptop (this is what I've been using to test the connection) can see the wireless network, can connect to it but I still get no internet on it.
It's like a "ghost connection" and it's really really weird...
So yeah, I'm very unlucky with wireless:
- first, I get the Nintendo wi-fi adapter and it turns out it's imcompatible with my firewall (ZoneAlarm),
- now this.
This sucks

ps: the USB wi-fi transmitter I got is this one

Nintendo Gaming / Settings for USB connector and ZoneAlarm?

« on: December 11, 2005, 10:35:13 AM »

Hey!

I'm having major problems with the Nintendo usb wi-fi connector and ZoneAlarm.
What I did so far, with no success to make it work:
- went to nintendowifi.com, added the designated ports as allowed on my firewall (UDP and TCP),
- went to zonelabs' forums (the editor of ZoneAlarm), tried all the settings some people gave,
- tried to configure my firewall myself manually.
The DS is "seen" by the Nintendo software registration tool but I always get an error 52003 and it says it can't get an IP.
Help, please?

Nintendo Gaming / Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones

« on: December 11, 2005, 12:49:10 AM »

So I guess no one bought it here?
I had trouble finding it in stores, some guy at Target even told me it was only released on PS2 and X-Box and I was like
Anyway, it's a good game, somewhat harder than Warrior Within and graphically cooler in my opinion.
What do you guys think?

Hello!
Did anyone get this game?
Mine is on its way from the States and I was wondering why no one has talked about it yet!

Nintendo Gaming / AC adapter included?

« on: November 03, 2004, 07:29:03 AM »

Hello!

I'm sorry if this has been already posted but I couldn't find the info.
Is there gonna be an AC adapter bundled with the Nintendo DS system?
I'm wondering because I saw that EBGames is selling an AC adapter for $14.99.
Thanks for the info!
Later!

Thanks!

Nintendo Gaming / Resident Evil boxset: any chance?

« on: August 17, 2003, 06:55:38 AM »

Hello everyone!

I hope this wasn't posted before.
I was wondering if Capcom will release a Resident Evil boxset with all the games (RE0, RE1, RE2, RE3 and RE Code Veronica X) like they did in Japan.
That'd be nice, even though I already have the RE0 and RE1. That's also why I didn't get the RE2 & 3 ports yet.
Here's what the Japanese boxset looks like
Anyone?
Thanks!

Nintendo Gaming / Used games sites?

« on: February 25, 2003, 06:24:53 AM »

Hey everyone,

Sorry I'm not sure this post belongs here but I didn't know where  else to put it!
So yeah, I'm looking for a website that sells used games AND that ships to Europe (I'm in France).
I'm kinda interested in Animal Crossing, but I'd like to buy a used copy.
Thanks for your help guys!
Later.
