    quick google search shows only red carts apart from ones that say how to spot a fake. Luckily gold is on my 3ds im not going to get my Gameboy pocket colour or sp out to play the copy I already have esp as both gold/silver have dead batteries that I cba replacing as by now they have probably leaked everywhere lol (red blue still going strong all 151 on both and legitimate mews no glitched ones lol)

    started pokemon gold over the weekend and more msr now I bought a dreamcast to vga cable that has working sound. It looks surprisingly good for a 17+ year old game running in 640x480 on a monitor
  4. long shot but try installing it somewhere other than program files say c:\games\ladybird ive had that fix a few odd programs

    Garages

    but with most cars these days been stolen by breaking in and stealing the keys that just means someone knows what car you have so if they want a golf say then they know exactly where to get one

    Garages

    at least where I live they do my fiesta/ds3/dads focus all fit fairly well granted getting out is more awkward than on the drive but its not that bad (I just carpeted the walls)

    if your local to leeds you can borrow it if you want from memory its not great but fun I just couldn't get the controls in tomb raider iirc like Mario 64 another game I don't get why people still like the camera moving kept killing me so I gave up (I got the console it with 5 games iirc and it was one of them)
  8. id its still running theres an slmgr command slmgr.vbs /cdns that stops it publishing itself to dns as a kms server (you still need to delete the dns record iirc and it still works as a kms server just dosent advertise anymore so machines that have activated with it and cant find an advertised dns server can still use it. if its gone just delete the dns entry for it

    at least its supposed to be really easy to sue back ups if the disc is too damaged lol I think I have sega rally 2 Daytona usa 18 wheeler sega bass fishing (free with console though I do remember it being actually quite fun in small doses) tomb raider (I hated that game xbox reboots are fine though) sonic adventures crazy taxi 1/2 soul calibre chu chu rocket and a few more I cant remember

    Garages

    yes I don't get why people don't put their car in a garage. Where I live there is little parking everyone has 2 spaces drive and garage (then a few visitor spots theres not really any road) but bar me just one of them uses their garage for a car (and one for their bikes) and cars are just basically left in daft places all the time. To compound this virtually all of them have 2 cars one of them has been known to have up to 5 so crummy parking like this isn't uncommon

    watched a youtube vid about the dreamcast not one of the people on it mentioned my favourite game from the system metropolis street racer. In the process found my vga adapter no longer has working sound output so had to use the tv rather than a monitor by the tv. Surprisingly for a 18 year old console the game I was playing didn't look that bad. did have to clean the cd though as music was going all wappy and the music is pretty integral to the experience
  12. i agree 100% but people seem to see/want apps these days even if there are no advantages over just using a browser look at facebook all the app does as far as i can see that the web page dosent on a phone is drain the battery but people expect to use the app

    hard to go wrong with zero dawn if you like big sprawling games you can get lost in destiny 2 i dont get at all to me someone has merged the worst part of an rpg grinding with a shooter you might want to do uncharted 4 before lost legacy or consider tomb raider they are similar games and to some extent its personal preference which you like more
  14. dont suppose they have via soundcard do they i had issues with those whereby there was no sound until i loaded soundeck(or whatever the settings app is called) and told it that the speakers and headphones werent entirely separate devices (and diddnt need their own entry in playback devices) even then some front ports diddnt work and i had to turn off auto detection but i suspect they have broken off jacks in them

    yeah got that but as im only level 10ish in the game and seem to suck badly at it (im still having fun most of the time as long as i stop before failing a mission for the too manyeth time really honks me off) i think i might give it a miss might look at the dlc though when i complete the main game. Notes though zelda has ruined other open world games i keep getting frustrated i cant climb small rock piles never mind mountains i think in wildlands i spent 20 mins trying to get up a mountain for some crate before i gave up and nicked a chopper
  16. i wonder if a touchscreen pc and basically a wall mounted tv isn't a better idea as that way the pc can be set up so you can look at screen and kids whereas a smartboard (and im not a fan of their interactive panels they seem to be very fussy about cable lengths both usb and hdmi) means you have your back to them, that also means you could use a surface style device and a miracast dongle and literally pass it round and it would still be cheaper than an interactive panel
  17. ive got one in a room of ~20 of these and at the correct res (which there is a startup script to set because poor software) that has decided that it dosent want the picture to be in the right place on the screen so basically the start menu is well off the bottom of the screen. Normally you would just push the auto adjust on the monitor and that would fix it but there is no auto button. tried updating driver reboot, power off but in the res its supposed to run no dice. i can get any other res to work by fiddling with panel fit panel fit options but at native i have 0 options to do this. any ideas as im stumped

    im honestly not sure if im terrible at wildlands (even more so than shooters in general) or you are just supposed to die a fair bit and im stubborn and will retry the same mission too many times before giving up for now and coming back later lol and heres me focused in a bit too much on my sniper scope while in a road lol
  19. One careful lady owner only used on weekends never raced or rallied lol

    probably same here, if theres a demo of fire emblem warriors i might give that a shot but without one no. downloaded octapath traveler demo on my switch to try at some point as well but the rest of this year looks light on releases for me might get pokemon ultra sun & or moon depends if theres enough difference from what ive seen there isnt really. beyond that far cry 5 next year looks fun

    yeah as i so seldom play online anymore i dont care im actually going to let my xb live sub drop after about 15 years its just literally £40 for nowt theres so few games with gold i want its not worth it anymore that said if anyone wants to squad up on wildlands on xbone and realises im not that good a shooters but enjoy them anyway you can happily join me in mowing down bad guys lol

    got ghost recon wildlands on tuesday just started it tghe screen tear is awful when driving but its fun. Once again female character
  23. im not a fan of the interactive panels either had to have far too many replaced under warranty as they stop responding correctly to touch and are very fussy about both hdmi and usb cables
  24. now to read the entire post. i do want to go to that arcade place in bury one day chillfactore ive been to the similar one at castle ford to watch nephews skiing but its been a long time since i failed to pass a skiing test at the dry slope in Sheffield (long gone) so lets just say i cant ski leeds centre itself heres whats in trinity centre (has parking but its not cheap and close to train station few mins walk) https://trinityleeds.com/shops/restaurants-and-bars
  25. Leeds centres roads are at least as bad as Manchester lol ive lived here 6 years and have probably never eaten in the city centre. erm outside of the centre standard food places really theres a fair few eateries at the white rose centre which is about 10 mins of the m62 so about as easy to get to as anywhere they've just added 6 food places (but we lost handmade burger in favour of 5 guys not a trade id make) https://white-rose.co.uk/food-and-drink
