    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    Does working on making my own game count? If so I've been doing that. Didn't accomplish much in particular today though, just made it so the main character respawns where they died rather than having to reloading the level. I'm in the process of building the engine so it's quite buggy, and...

    What would I need to know if I am to start hacking consoles/handhelds?

    If you're hacking games/consoles don't you need to know a lot of low level stuff (memory management, hex editing etc.)? You would also need a very comprehensive understanding of programming, probably something like C that gives you a lot of control over the aforementioned low level stuff. Whilst...

    Gaming Software or hardware fault?

    Sounds like flash could be crashing and causing the system to become unresponsive. If that's the case there's not much you can really do about it aside from updating flash/rolling back to a working version or uninstalling it all together. If it only happens when using flash (youtube, flash games...

    Gaming Windows 8 Developer Preview and Ubuntu?

    If you want to get rid of win8 and have ubuntu instead, why not just back up the files you want to keep, put the ubuntu disc in, reboot and use the ubuntu installer to format your drive and install ubuntu in its place? Using the windows installer will try to install it along side windows...

    Gaming All of my 8 gigs of ram isn't registering...

    That's useful to know. I wasn't sure. All I remember about onboard graphics is that there was a setting in the BIOS for how much RAM it can use. I still vote faulty RAM (or RAM slots). If after testing that and all modules and slots are fine but you are still lacking memory, check you have...

    Gaming All of my 8 gigs of ram isn't registering...

    I would say bad RAM. Try booting with one stick at a time and if at any stage it doesn't boot then that stick is bad. I got some bad RAM once, but took it back and they replaced it for me. Also do you have onboard graphics or a dedicated card? Onboard graphics use your system RAM as memory for...

    Code Isn't Property; Therefore it can't Be stolen

    It doesn't really change anything. Piracy is still illegal. You will not be able to pirate with this excuse because once the code is compiled, what you pirate is then an application/game whatever. The biggest thing it could change is one person using another persons code in theirs without...

    Gaming How to conver code to an algorithm?

    Since an algorithm is just the step by step of what needs to happen you just read the code and write what each part is doing eg. In a loop Take in input to determine user is not a bot Check if input is less than 5 etc. As for the question, perhaps use some while loops eg. create variable...

    Gaming Linux Download?

    You can still use the old gnome interface with the newer ubuntu builds instead of the new unity one. At the bottom of the login screen there's a dropdown box where you can choose what version to boot. Just choose ubuntu classic to use the older one. I've also heard of quite a few people who...

    Original Xbox Mods

    When I softmodded my xbox many years ago I think I tried almost every dash available. I settled for unleashx and had xbmc as an app until I actually used it and realized how much better it was than unleashx or evox (or any other for that matter). You can have more than one dash installed if i...

    Hacking Do I need 1.8.6a?

    I believe pokémon has its own soft reset code like L+R+start+select or something that will take you back to the pokémon menu instead of the flashcart menu. It's quicker that way as you don't have to keep loading the ROM.

    Gaming I want to have Windows 7 and XP on one computer.

    Sometimes you need to enable virtualization in your computer's bios. Check your motherboard's manual to find out how to do that on your machine (if necessary).

    Gaming Hack Test

    I don't know if this has anything to do with it but . . . EDIT: OK then, I hadn't resorted to searching google, so didn't know. Wonder why it isn't working then.
