![]() It’s quiet clear that these game companies are engaging in a process known as “biting the hand that feeds you”. Most of all, I raise my glass to the good hackers and pirates, without whose thankless, tireless work, Frankenstein-ing old tech and keeping long-forgotten obscurities of the past alive, I wouldn’t be here, deeply interested in this industry, and writing this very article. The road ahead looks tough, and I raise my glass to all the folks everywhere, hoarding ROMs and ISOs like doomsday preppers. This is a sign of things to come, and we’ll just have to wait and see what happens next what should concern us is that taking down Emuparadise is a “victory” rewarding Nintendo’s bad behavior. ![]() And that’s just it: it’s an adoration for this medium that has brought so many people together and has many of them dedicated to saving itself from this ouroboros-like industry. With the high profits of their lackluster “classic” console releases, Nintendo’s aim is set to destroy anything in their unethical path, now that their extremely consumer unfriendly, bad emulation riddled, Virtual Console scheme has expired.Įmuparadise owner, MasJ, plans to continue running Emuparadise as a database and forum. No company has pushed harder than Nintendo in running down sites like Emuparadise, and that’s not all that surprising. I wonder where Nintendo got this idea from? While some companies like SEGA have readily encouraged this kind of ingenuity, considering that Sonic Mania is basically a product of ROM-hackers, companies like Nintendo remain steadfastly stubborn on this matter, all while reaping the rewards of the same culture they pursue to destroy, with games like NES Remix and Mario Maker. Then you have the realm of “ROM hacking”, which has not only lead to the creation of amazing fan games, but on a more prosperous note, has given rise to a whole another league of backwards-engineering game design, allowing for fan translations of games unavailable or poorly-released outside of Japan, like Policenauts or Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Piracy of this kind permeates still, because it’s simply not affordable or viable to not only preserve hardware with a finite mortality, but also because it costs a whole lot more than it probably should on eBay – unless you really want me to shell out $160 for a used copy of fucking Team Buddies for the PS1, or other such games not popular enough to salvage by some big-time publisher.Īs physical media crawls into a niche, the world of digital downloads brings scary prospects: an environment where games can be patched into something else, or in the infamous cases of games such as Scott Pilgrim and PT, made wholly unavailable vanished out of reach, with the only recourse for any kind of preservation being hacking and piracy. If it weren’t for these formative years of the internet, you can bet that the landscape of retro-inspired indie gaming would be pretty different today, if it at all existed. It informed not only audiences, but future game developers who went to make retro-inspired modern classics like Super Meat Boy, Shovel Knight, and the rest of the pixel-based stuff that overflows within that part of the gaming world. The ROM piracy boom of the early 2000s was born partially out of the unavailability of older games, but mostly because a lot of people had been too young or hadn’t had opportunities to play the games in the past. Retro-inspired games like Shovel Knight are a great example of how the ROM-based revival of older titles influenced the entire market It’s at this point, however, undeniable that video games, as both documents and works of art, are thriving, solidified products that exist within the ether of media as not just produce, but meaningful pieces of electronic history. Video game companies, by and large, have done a horrible job at preserving their own games ( at times losing data for critical titles), which I don’t always blame them for the video game industry is essentially a toy industry, and it makes sense to get rid of an “outdated” product to push the shinier, new thing, from a business point of view. You have to understand why people want to “pirate” these games to begin with. Writing about Emuparadise’s demise for Techcrunch, Devin Coldewey’s assertion that, “What was practical in 2002 no longer makes sense”, that ROM sites are obsolete in their need now, does not sync with reality. Technically, sure, they’re one in the same thing, but one would have to be pretty naive to not realize the value of archiving that is at the root of the emulation community. You’re legally required to use an image from Mega64’s “Deus Ex” video whenever you talk about hacking on a gaming site. ![]()

The only thing I’d like to caution about Microsoft’s new gizmo, as with other physical keyboards, is that you may have to temporarily do away with Android software tools such as SwiftKey when you type. ![]() ![]() But I don’t rule out using the tablet plus keyboard to take notes in future. I’m still a little unsure about using the combo for interviews, because I’m a traditional pen-and-notepad kind of reporter. This lets me type down what has been talked about at meetings, and sometimes fire away a quick e-mail reply if an urgent message comes in. I now bring my tablet along with the keyboard to meetings. This was the first time in years, almost since I started work, that I hadn’t brought along a laptop on a trip. During a short weekend break recently, I brought only my Nexus 10 and the keyboard on my trip and I was pleasantly surprised, whether I was firing away e-mails or editing a couple of reports. The volume buttons work as well, which is a nice plus.įor me, the Wedge Mobile keyboard is a turning point of sorts. ![]() Surprisingly, many PC features on the Wedge Mobile keyboard work with Android as well. There are the useful arrow keys, which let you scroll down a webpage or Word document so you don’t have to reach out to the touch-screen ever so often. This is also a smart way to check if you’re connected to a tablet. I’d also like to point out the small green light that subtly blinks as you type on the keyboard, revealing to you that it is actually working. This is intuitive design that you might expect from Apple, yet the keyboard is made by Microsoft. And it can be bent to turn into a stand for your tablet. It snaps into place not just to protect the keys but also to automatically power down the keyboard. Most impressive is the rubber-like cover. The design impresses, with its heavy metal accents giving a premium feel that its hefty price – S$99 in Singapore – would have to provide. There clearly has been a lot of thought put into this keyboard. And the compartment at the bottom that stores the two AAA-sized batteries provide an angled tilt that is comfortable to type on. But the keys are large and easy to reach. The Wedge Mobile keyboard is packed like any small one that you’d find in the shop. Microsoft has done something others have failed here -provide a comfortable typing experience with a really portable keyboard. Keys feel responsive when you press down, and no, your fingers thankfully aren’t hammering at metal despite the very thin profile here. Not only is it easy to connect, it is a joy to type on.įor starters, the keys have a tactile feel that will put many larger PC keyboards to shame. The Wedge Mobile Keyboard, however, stands apart from most other Bluetooth keyboards. I haven’t been convinced of these small keyboards until now, because most of them involve typing on really small keys that are so shallow your fingers might as well have been hammering away at the metal underneath. That’s what the Wedge Mobile keyboard from Microsoft lets me do with my Google Nexus 10 now. One of the most innovative accessories to have spawned with the iPad is the nifty wireless keyboard that instantly turns your tablet into a lean, mean e-mail machine. Instead of poking at your screen to fire away an angry e-mail, or waiting until you got to a PC, the keyboard lets you bang away furiously – and accurately – on the go. ![]() ![]() ![]() That is another thing that makes this auto clicker better than other alternatives that are generally detected as harmful by most antivirus software. Yes, after running various antivirus scans (using Mc Afee, Avast, etc), the OP autoclicker was found to be absolutely safe and free from any kind of malware or spyware.

The last option is to cut your time losses and have IT re-image your machine and start over. Next I would contact technical support for the cleaner tool that was used (assuming one was), for help, but I have very low hope for that. I suppose if it were me, I’d try the MS fixer tool again and see if that corrects the problem. Your on-going symptoms and the failure of Microsoft’s fixer referenced in Brian’s post are what make me think this. My guess is one of these tools was used and it only partially succeeded. These so-called “system cleaners”, if so configured, delete these cached installers and file lists. Normally, when a tool is uninstalled, then the MSI tool uses that chashed information to remove any unmodified files it added based on the cached information. When you install software in Windows using the Windows Installer service, the installer is saved along with the list of file that were added and a link to the local cached installer on the computer.
