    Hacking Nintendont

    The only way that would happen is if something was overwriting all the .DVV files, and the main suspect for that is CFG loader passing the wrong location of the memcard.bin file. Since you mentioned several times that you use CFG, that's likely what your issue was...

    Hardware Video card comparison

    Well according to this graphics hierarchy chart you went from a tier 12 to a tier 10 card and they say not to expect much difference if it's not a minimum of 3 tiers higher. Main difference as Alaude pointed out is you now have a DX11 compliant card for games that can make use of it.

    Hardware Low power graphic card

    I can think of 3 things: 1) Use a screwdriver wedged between the PSU and case at the top to try and put some pressure on that screw since what ever was anchoring the screw or the screw itself has stripped. So if there is some pressure then what is remaining might grab hold when you try to...

    Hardware GTX 580 Black Screens - Instability?

    What they are saying in that topic about the BIOS settings is for the system memory, not the power supply, and they were setting the memory values to some sort of preset 'extreme' profile settings. So yes, you can try something like this and see if it works. Just don't set your memory settings...

    Gaming I need an honest opinion

    A quick google search shows it's playable, but the PS3 version would look better and provide smoother gameplay. If you haven't played them, you could probably run the previous 2 titles more easily (TES III: Morrowind, and TES IV: Oblivion) GoTY versions on the PC should be cheap and wait for...

    Gaming JUST NOW my screen went pink!

    It can be due to something strange with the new driver and your card or overheating of the graphics card. You can try the program GPU-Z to monitor your graphics card's vitals. It will show the results from any temp probes, fan speeds, etc and will graph and log the results to see if something...

    Gaming My pc build

    While this may be a bit off topic as i didn't see it come up yet, but with all the good PC building information, i thought I would throw out one more tidbit in terms of GPU: Unless you are building a system to max out some benchmark specs, your best bet is buying the one best graphics card you...

    Gaming SATA Solid State vs. Solid State?

    If it says 7200 RPM then it's not a true solid state drive since that is a reference to the spindle speed of the HDD platters. It might be one of the hybrid drives which has a small SSD chunk it uses for faster caching of commonly accessed data I just looked it up, I'm guessing you are looking...

    Gaming I was blown away

    I picked up an intel 320 160GB (am2+ MB so only SATA II) and I am not looking back. I'd have to say Samsung 830 or the crucial M4 for 120GB are both running around the same price point, $180 at newegg and either would be my choice when I upgrade sooner or later to an SATA III capable system...

    Gaming Getting Into PC Gaming

    While we are on the topic of games, and the OP is interested in RPG's... I'd suggest checking out classics over at GOG.com Baldur's gate series, Icewind dale series, Neverwinter Nights, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum, Fallout 1, 2, BoS. The Diablo clone Torchlight is also quite enjoyable.

    Gaming Getting Into PC Gaming

    If you want suggestions on where to start to build a computer yourself, you can check out the system builder articles over at tomshardware.com. If you want to upgrade from any of the builds, they have articles for "best CPU for the money" and "best graphics card for the money" and I normally...

    THQ Cuts 240 Jobs, CEO Takes Pay Cut

    Well I'm a bit partial to Darksiders myself, but seeing as I haven't played any of the console Zelda games since OOT, and that was a long time ago, I'd have a hard time really making any comparisons. Other better selling games they have published are Metro 2033 and the Warhammer 40,000 games...

    All in one RGH chip.

    Why would you want a RRoD Xbox 360? Is it that you might get lucky and find the problem: heatsink loose/popped off or solder joint melted loose, fix it, add extra cooling, then use this program to wipe the error code, and hope it boots normally? Then mod/hack once it's stable? Just curious...

    Gaming No videos load on youtube

    Might be a long shot, but try switching to a different DNS source, ie: Google DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I had a similar problem with hulu where I would get a black screen, when the video would start to load, but never would. I tried a ping and tracert to the site chrome said was trying to...

    Steam Doubled its Profits in 2011

    As mentioned already, you can install steam itself onto any partition and directory you want and individual games go into that folder, though just for information if you are running out of space on the initial drive, you can use symbolic links to make steam think the game is still in the steam...

    SylverReZ @ SylverReZ: Also nice. Never really watched Fallout on Prime, but sounds like a good show.
