As the cost of genuine Sony memory sticks goes up I am left with two choices, one go to Nintendo DSi XL for the umpteen's times or use a memory stick adaptor, how good are the memory stick adaptors and which one to get?

They can be unreliable. They can be reliable.... It varies. The last thing you want is to buy the thing have it for a couple of months and then to lose all your data or for it to totally stop working. (That's if it's even recognised). The only way to be sure of a reliable memory stick is to buy a genuine Pro Duo.

It's been about two years when I got memory stick adaptor and I don't really have any problem with it. Only problem that is that I need a bigger Micro-SD memory card for it. 4Gb is way too small for all of my data installs.

If you are buying one, buy two of them. Adaptor can be crack in half pretty easily if you don't be careful with it.

I'd agree if you're buying one definitely buy two. I bought one and it's never worked.....

Get a Photofast CR5400 holds two micro sd at once and never had a problem with them.

    I went back to the old port I had previously running as it's the only one which was up to complete with sound, music, controls etc.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, How long have you worked on this port, just this year?
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    ...and I'm currently playing it - no crash so far. If I could, I'd live-stream
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Or play through it until you encounter a bug or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You should maybe hire beta/alpha testers to playtest your game while you continue to update the port, but that's up to you.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have been working on BLOOD for the Wii for a few weeks but that was 2 years ago until I noticed that it would randomly crash out of a sudden at some point and I never managed to find the origin of the bug.

    @nitr8, Something like an USB Gecko would be extremely helpful for debugging. Not sure if there might be an IDA plugin which can do this wirelessly.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    That also was the reason why I never released it to the public. Which btw. is a shame because the game is basically "complete" and ready for release
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, If you consider open-sourcing this, then I'm sure somebody could point out the bugs for you in the repository, such as walking through step-by-step on what it's doing.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have 2 USB Gecko's. I'm using one for debug printout messages while I use the second one for realtime debugging within Eclipse where I make changes to the code

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, Ah good, having two is always handy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Not sure why you'd want to, but it's a good thing at least.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    You need two if you want realtime-debugging AND debug printout at the same time. The problem is that GDB (the GNU debugger) needs a connection over a serial port while the other one also needs a connection over a serial port. You cannot send debugging commands and printout messages over the same port. It just wouldn't work. I've tested this.

    I should probably see if I can run this natively on a PC using the original commits where I pulled the code from. Basically the repository is the same but the commits were different when it comes to the main game code and the engine overlay...

    BTW: I saw you mentioned me in the link to the ROTT wall bug where a moving wall exits the game map.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    The original developers put an image into the code which would be shown once this bug happens. It's the one you see at the end of the video and it's also the same image I'm using as an avatar.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    Anyway, I hope BLOOD will finally make it's way onto the Wii. I ported DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE, ROTT and HEXEN II before years ago. I simply cannot imagine that it's too hard to get the game
    running stable.

    oh hi SylverReZ
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    If I just had the chance to live-stream the running game on the Wii... :unsure:
