Selling Up?

I've been thinking of doing this for a while now. I have a lot of games, far more than is shown in my Backloggery. Games I beat long ago such as Dreamcast games, PSX games, GC games, MD games, Snes games...etc. I also, for whatever reason just can't get into handheld gaming, my 360 never gets used, my PS3 is a Battlefield 1943 box and my Wii is a glorified emulation machine. PC is where I play most of my games and lord knows I have enough of those to keep me going for the next 5+ years. There are the occasional console games I want to play but they're so infrequent I'm not sure it's worth holding onto the systems.

Part of me wants to collect every machine under the sun but it just ends up being a lot of clutter. It'd be nice to just be free of it all and only have one or two. I wouldn't mind getting rid of my current PC as well, it's a fucking beast right now. Seriously, you could fit a small child in the Akasa Eclipse, an SFF system would be far more ideal.

Seal of Evil on Windows 10

Getting this running was a little bit of work but it's not impossible. Firstly, you may need to temporarily disable Windows Security's real time protection to get the installer to run. If you don't, you may get corruption issues. Once the game is installed you may as well grab the NOCD. It's probably not essential but it does make things easier. Next, you need to add the game's exe file as an exception in DEP (Data Execution Protection). DEP can be accessed via Control Panel > System > Advanced System Protection > Advanced > Settings button in the Performance box > Data Execution Protection tab. From there add the game's exe file. If you don't do this then Windows 10 will stop the game from even running. Then you need to add three .dll files to the game's root directory which can all be found in 'WineD3D For Windows'. The three files you need are d3d8.dll, libwine.dll and wined3d.dll. If you don't add these three files,...

3 Dead Consoles. Christ Almighty.

My NES, my DC and my PS3 are all dead. Yes, dead. I cannot fucking believe this. I mean the DC is forgiveable, it's 10 plus years old and been on its last legs for some time now. The NES only received its routine clean however and the PS3? The PS3 hardly gets bloody used! I've been playing Megadrive games on the fucking thing this month. This really sucks... :(

Goodbye Gaming PC

My Macbook Pro arrived on Friday, work have a deal set up with Apple that allows you to get a Macbook (and the OSX/Windows versions of Microsoft Office) at a discount. I've been wanting to downgrade for a while now and I've been quite impressed with the iPhone so I put in for one. All in all it's very impressive which is to be expected I suppose. I tried some games on it and it holds its own well enough. Not as great as my PC of course but that's OK. The plan now is to give some of the parts from my PC to my parents to speed theirs up and sell the rest. I'll probably buy an OEM version of Windows 7 at some point for the occasional bootcamp game before putting some money aside for a 46"-50" TV. Then I'll put a HTPC together to go under the telly and I'll be all set. I'm also abandoning current gen console gaming altogether. So little of what's out there interests me, a couple of old consoles, the occasional handheld and Steam all do a far be...
