Gaming Brawl Leak Checker

[kagelump]

Dont have a wii, no desire to even try Brawl. However I just have a question for the OP, why hawk refs for usenet-news on GBAtemp, I am not sure its such a good idea, i mean usenet has a greasy underside that really i dont think people with little to no experiance can really grasp... its like your advertising poison, unless your the one who will teach them about it and answer all the potential questions that may come up...

For me it's pretty straightforward, and I'm relatively new at this. Grab an NZB, import into my client, check for errors, fix if necessary, unpack, and do whatever is to be done with it. On my connection the entire process is still several times faster than torrenting.

seconded
with all the automated usenet viewers, it doesn't seem much harder to use than torrents

Mine seems to be broken, it has yet to alert me of a Brawl leak.

looks okay to me
if it alerted you of a leak before there is one, then i'd say its broken

[Devrethman]

This shit has SERIOUSLY got out of hand. I will honestly be glad when this game is released so this madness will end lol

The newest version posted will make a noise, just turn your speakers up and it should wake you.

What if I am going to the bathroom? Or on a plane? Or driving some place? Or under water? Or outer space!!!! Can somebody just call me when it gets released? My number is 876-5309 Thanks!

You try developing such a thing in thirty minutes in C.Â

This is my fast development platform, however system cloggy it is.

See the GBAtemp city topic for my notifier. That took me 30 minutes or so.

bleugh this program is horrible. its ugly, has no multithreading, so freezes when it downloads and is user unfriendly. it would take less than 5 minutes to make a better version that would work with all games and have a nicer gui that will let you input update interval and the game to check for, and wouldnt have to unpack a load of horrible dlls and icons, and it comes up with an error on my comp:
"Failed to create Direct Music Performance."

Woah, calm down

actually, sorry. I didnt mean to be so nasty. I program for a living and sometimes get carried away....

I'm off to the pub now, but I'll knock something up when I get back. For such a simple program I would use ahk (thats how 5 minutes would be possible

)
Catch you when I'm back....

Things to do while you wait:

1) Upgrade your drivechip to latest firmware.
2) Upgrade your wii to latest firmware
3) Unscrew your old old gamecube controllers and clean out the junk from the analog sticks and bend the Z-Button's metal flap back up so it's more responsive.
4) Buy another gamecube controller
5) Buy a Wii Lan Adapter for less lag with online play.

Hey, maybe you can help me.. I made my Leak Checker in python with support to change game name, platform and delay.. When the game is leaked it starts beeping forever, until I do a KeyboardInterrup (Ctrl+C).. I want to improve it by stop the beeping after any key is pressed. I can't do it in the same thread, cause the program would stop while waiting for the input.
So I thought about creating a new thread to listen the keyboard while the original thread would keep beeping. But I'm not used to multi-threading in python.. can you give me some help? Or another aproach to this case?
Thank you!
