Games Spends 2012

Total amount spent on games in 2012: £617.39. A lot higher than I wanted to be honest but I did buy 2 NTSC NES consoles, an NTSC N64 and a 3DS XL.

I bought 43 games but beat 57 and removed 3. For 2013 I'm not going to buy a single new game until I have at least less than 10 unbeaten games in total.

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...
