Did tapwave take off the encryption thing?

Last i heard u needed ot be a dev to actually use LJZ but i havent been around that much.

If it still does then the zodiac is useless for emulation then

hopefully they'll make some nano-itx PSUs, otherwise you'll probably need a mini-itx psu.
I'd use a psone screen for it, but I think I'd try and hack the vga output to output 15khz, since using the s video output would make it hard to read any text.
Via is the only company that I know of that's even anounced one yet, but there is no info on where to buy them yet.

All sorts of info.

Here's their store.

well, now I know that it's supposedly a 1ghz cpu. I checked out the via website, but they didn't say the cpu size.

Interesting......

Out of curiosity, how many 128 megabyte smart media cards would I need to have the entire NES library on a gp32?

Well there are ~700 games for the NES and they were (correct me if I'm wrong) about 4-8 mb in size. So grab your calculator and find out.

Actually, most ROMs I've worked with were far less.

The encryption is still there, but they got LJZ signed(makes it so anyone can play it) so now everyone can play

NES roms range from 40 to 512 KB. (Very few are 512)

And a thousand KB is a megabyte, right?

Yes? Good. TO THE CALCULATOR!

Post by **gannon** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 6:41 pm

err...I think 1024 kb is 1 mb

Post by **Sparkfist** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 6:43 pm

1024 is the bytes that you use but most people round it to just 1000.

go ahead and round it off all you want... but after a while your math is gonna be WAY off...

Two cards filled with 512 KB ROMs. Anybody got a better estimate they've figured out or is that what I assume for now?
