They had a problem puting up some kind of message telling us the site has problems. It's a bit of a problem, but I've been assured that the problem will not persist and will cease to be a problem... very soon.

I heard that a fat man sat on the server and that caused the problem!
That's a whole lot of times you typed "problem" there.
Might want to watch out using the word problem so much, it makes reading your post a bit of a problem and that's a problem when you need to get a message out about a problem.

The site's back up.

Wiikey Team said:
Server Failure

wiikey.cn has been down for the past 48 hours due to a catastrophic hard disk failure. The site has since been restored from backup, but unfortunately the MySQL database powering the site could not be recovered.

As a result of the loss of the database, both the "News" and "Resellers" sections have been lost. Resellers wishing to remain on the list are asked to contact us with their details for re-inclusion. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Aww, man. Now what do the haters have to hang on? I bet the Wiikey team felt so very, very sad for closing up shop and skipping town, that they got back to work.

Or, like I said, the web site is lower priority on their list of things to do. It's not like they're selling right from there, and it's vital to keep money rolling in. What's odd though, is they use a database to hold the news and resellers lists. Those weren't that loaded with items and hard to track. The resellers had like 3 or so per continent. With all the clones, you'd think they would have at least kept that list somewhere important...

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
