I think Niu is still on dialup too. But his is more because nothing else works in his area for some reason.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #251 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:07:59 AM »

It's pretty well the same out here. Except... I think Niu lives somewheres in/near LA, while I live five miles from a town with a population of maybe 2 grand... rather confusing.

So you can now get OB Cmdr. *Cracks whip!*

Have fun getting CK to emulate anything even when he has the resources.

Man, not having the MP3 player at work makes everything different and less fun.

superaielman · « **Reply #255 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:56:33 PM »

Can't use it at work?

Snow: He said he'd get OB for the Wii if he ever got access to a non horrid connection. hence the whip cracking!

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #256 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:12:29 PM »

Oh, I can. I just couldn't bring it today due to it being empty - tried to use it as a carrier for some file transference, which didn't really work, and I wouldn't be able to refill its song quotient in time for work.

Also, CK's promises were only made to break~

Today I have to make a performance review speech that will determine whether or not I have a job next year.

...STRESSS.

Yeah, remember how I was all like telling a story which implied that there were going to be mass layoffs and everyone at work was nervous and it turned out it was just a training class?

Our last day for the entire contract is April 18. The entire contract of over 500 people, the single best center that AT&T has, period. The reason: AT&T doesn't care about their customers, they care about saving a few hundred thousand dollars.

I'm not as nervous as some of the other people, because I qualify for the only other contract we have at the moment (Bell) by virtue of being bilingual, but still, it's not a guarantee.

But see, the Wii needs wifi. If they still made those weird adaptors that basically let you turn any computer into a wifi hub, it'd be workable, but...

On the plus side, if I understand it correctly, I can shove a 360 controller into this thing and it'll read it as a PC controller... so emulation of various sorts may be on the horizon. Pity I don't have those FE6/EB files anymore. Dunno why...

Here's hoping it goes well for you.

Best wishes, Doma. Don't be afraid to shiv somebody if it comes to that.

CK: I don't think it works like that; you need a special controller (that only looks like a 360 controller; it'd have a USB plug) or an adapter. Or just a cheapo PC gamepad. I use the "Universal USB Adaptor" (sic), purchased at Wal-Mart, to plug PS2 controllers into my PC, and it works like a charm.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #262 on:** January 27, 2010, 02:28:45 AM »

There's cords you can get for 360 controllers that let you plug it into the 360's USB ports to recharge it. I have one of those.

Plugging it into the computer, it recognized it and downloaded drivers automatically. I can't seem to make it do anything for emulators though.

Shale · « **Reply #263 on:** January 27, 2010, 02:33:52 AM »

If I'm remembering correctly from when I was looking at various strategies about getting Arkham Asylum to work with gamepads, that's just a charging cord. It doesn't let you actually use the controller.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #264 on:** January 27, 2010, 02:35:28 AM »

Hm. Well, I'll try stealing the PS3 controller tomorrow and try that then.

Grefter · « **Reply #265 on:** January 27, 2010, 02:56:16 AM »

You should be able to setup a wireless card in your computer to connect Adhoc if you wanted to setup a network some reason without a hub, but I don't know if the Wii can do Adhoc as well. Also Adhoc is shit and insecure and I highly recommend against it anyway.

Shale · « **Reply #266 on:** January 27, 2010, 02:58:21 AM »

And this is why putting out hardware that goes online but doesn't have anywhere to plug in an Ethernet cable is fucking retarded and should carry the death penalty.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #267 on:** January 27, 2010, 03:02:36 AM »

Well, assuming you just mean secure against people tapping into it besides me, there's not anyone withing 500 feet TO tap into it, so that's something!!?

Grefter · « **Reply #268 on:** January 27, 2010, 03:46:47 AM »

I still wouldn't do it. And yes I think not having an ethernet port is pretty short sighted on Nintendo's part. Maybe in 10 years time, but not now.

You'd think they could manage to just have both. You have ethernet? You get to run cabling out to your Xbox from your router. You have cable? You have to get a goddamn adaptor for your Wii. INDUSTRY, PLEASE PICK ONE.

Well, surgery tomorrow. You guys probably won't hear from me for a while (although in a week or two you'll probably start hearing from me rather a lot, as I'll be at home with no responsibilities and no social life...it'll be nostalgic!)

Shale · « **Reply #271 on:** January 27, 2010, 05:00:21 AM »

Good luck!
