  1. ICO.

    That's not one of the additions to the Euro version, I think I know where you are but I'm not sure I can tell what you are trying to do... It sounds like you are misjudging the space, which can happen easily, and are trying to jump to the wrong place.... dunno
  2. I'm rich!

    Unless you have a TV is quite old the NTSC to PAL conversion is mostly irrelevant as the majority of TVs in europe have supported NTSC for many years now...
  3. Connecting console to TV

    Component cables carry Y, PB and PR (or CB and CR) I'm not sure what those are, but they aren't the same as RGB ;; On switch boxes, if you don't mind having to get up a mechanical switch box can't possibly have any signal loss, I have a 3 way manual switch for my set up. to Oath again: sorry, didn't mean to make you doubt yourself, I was just surprised now I understand more why people were pissed off that sony only included composite in the 60GB PS3, Microsoft set a precedent (and well done them).
  4. Connecting console to TV

    360 doesn't support HDMI at the moment, microsoft said they can add support for it but don't think there is enough demand as yet. As for your choices marek: I'd go with Component for Wii VGA for 360 (you will only get Hi-Def out of 360 on VGA or Component) and use someone else's cable to try your laptop in HDMI, failing that use VGA. also to Oath: 360 comes with component?? first I heard of that!
  5. Wii heat

    Only one quick possibilty that would be an easy fix, have you checked the fuse in the plug for the power brick? Aside from that I guess trying to adapt the GC power brick is your best bet
  6. Wii heat

    You won't always want to alter the voltage. Many devices can accept different voltages in (generally small portable devices I believe), for example the DS. If the power brick is the same as the gamecube one then you could use your euro one of those, but I think they probably aren't.
  7. Wii heat

    You need a step down transformer, which does exactly what it says, steps the voltage down from 220 to 120 so nothing blows up ;; A converter generally just refers to a bit of plastic to convert the pin types. But then of course people can call things by different names, so maybe you have a voltage converter??
  8. ELMUERTE'S Thread of LIESSSS

    Your method of counting appears to be flawed.... the number of lies is equal.... technically I guess that means your last post is a lie, so therefore you can reclaim the crown
  9. Wifi

    erm most wireless routers have wired ports in them, so you don't need anything extra....
  10. PlayStation Mayhem

    Yeah, "innit" is the worst thing ever and is the reserve of chavs and scum. I now feel uncomfortable when describing something as being in something else (i.e. it is "in it"). *shudders*
  11. PlayStation Mayhem

    Hey I didn't say otherwise, just talking about this instance It's generally a fucked up language....
  12. ICO.

    It was down well before the google takeover, heheh. I also tried it months ago, but failed to get enlightened
  13. Connecting console to TV

    The ideas behind SCART are fine, the cable itself is terrible. Far too wide a connector that is really insecure, they ALWAYS come loose really easy and have horribly inflexible cables (except the flat ones perhaps).
  14. PlayStation Mayhem

    Yeah Rodi you are utterly correct, the expression remains intact in English but got distorted in American to become nonsensical. It annoys me a little, heh.
  15. ICO.

    Rodi, have you clicked the link? It's a video that has been removed from youtube....
  16. Connecting console to TV

    It's possible that mainland Europe is different to the UK I guess, but every console comes out here with Composite Cables, to ensure the maximum number of people can use it out of the box. Either way you are guaranteed to be able to use both consoles without buying any new cables or adapters. If they come with Composite, use the adapter, if they come with SCART..... you have SCART inputs, heh. note: I hate SCART, worst connector design ever.
  17. Jinkies! I'm likely to be UK bound!

    Here is a link to maps of the tube system... The tube is London internal only, you'll need to get a train from either Euston or Marylebone Station to Birmingham. Should cost you somewhere in the region of £15 to £30 (return). hope that helps
  18. Guitar Hero? Yes!

    Look at the white centre part of the notes, if there is a black ring around the white centre then you MUST play the note individually, but if not then you are free to hammer-on or pull-off.
  19. Best News Story Ever

    Are you suggesting that Charlotte Church has been looting and / or polluting? either that or we are secretly at war with russia.
  20. The Wii's Launch

    The only ostensible gameplay difference between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion is that Fusion holds your hand most of the way through, so I'm surprised you enjoyed that one and not the other. But meh, to each his own ;;
  21. The Wii's Launch

    If he is, he certainly doesn't have a soul.
  22. Bad games that are good

    You missed out Zool...
  23. Biker What from WHAT?!

    Well yes, as a Turtles knock off they are obliged to follow the turtles once more in being remade, heh.
  24. Somebody donate me a PS2

    If, as Microsoft and Sony seem to be expecting, the next next generation does away with physical media for Digital Distribution only, then it would be nonsensical for them to have a region locking system. As to the current next generation (... ¬¬) , X360 games are region locked but I believe that there are region free games released officially in China or something, which is a bit weird. I thoroughly expect PS3 and Wii to be region locked, but am prepared to be pleasantly surprised (go on.... please?) LJ
  25. Ouendan... Too... Hard...

    Actually Yufster that's not true.... you know me ;; I completed it on Insane last week, working my way through getting S-Ranks now, heh. Oddly for me it was a game that just clicked, almost all the rhythms seemed natural (damn you offbeat Ready Steady Go!) so I didn't have that great a difficulty. It really does get easier when you know the songs better and try not to follow it visually, get into the rhythm, as the visual cues really can throw you off. LJ
