Call it what you will. The fondness for PAL is mainly due to a HATE factor for NTSC (reasons of which are irrelevant). Just noticed that this release is NOT anamorphicaly enhanced. Shit. I hate that. Oh well.

DJ Fusion replies:

But aren't you the guy who said that you wouldn't consider buying a 16:9 TV? So what the **** do you want anamorphic for? Do you even know what it means?

SPidER-HaMMeTT replies:
You ARE joking right?

There is 3 main sizes...

1) CinemaScope - 1.66:1 ratio (which is what Robo Criterion is in, WITHOUT anamorphic)

2) 16:9 - What CinemaScope becomes, AFTER anamorphic enhancment. Smaller black bars on a 4:3 ratio television.

3) 4:3 - Standard commercial television viewing size.

You DO realise that even WITHOUT a widescreen 16:9 television, anamorphic enhancment still reduces the size of the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Thus, I think standard CinemaScope on a 4:3 ratio telly is TOO small, where as I like Anamorphic enhancment on a 4:3 telly, as it becomes 16:9 ratio.

That being said, anamorphic enhancment on an ALREADY 16:9 ratio movie, stretches it onto 4:3 ratio, taking up ALL space on standard televisions. Eg. RoboCop 3.

Vzzzbx replies:
Are you seriously saying you'd rather stretch your picture to fill the screen? You're not supposed to do that.

What you're talking about is a serious distortion of the picture. If you're going to run anamorphic coded transfers without compressing the picture for a 4:3 screen, you're doing it wrong. Just like 99% of electronic shops run by stupid people.

Deej: You're right.

In TV's of this day that don't run interlaced 60 frames a second is much more visible so it will look a million times better when running on a newer TV at ACTUAL 60 frames per second.

your Help would be appreciated

zarevz replies:
As in TVs???
If so, then the i stands for interlaced and this means (effectively) that there needs to be two frames drawn to get a full image.

Sonic replies:
480i doesnt exist to my knowledge.. if it does, then it is a standard TV that everyone has been useing for ages in the US (Our telly's are 576 not 480 verticle lines)

480P is a progressive display (Hence the P not I which stands for Progrssive not Interlaced) it displays both fields at the same time (Known as a frame) rather than 1 field after another (A field being half a whole image, this creats flicker)

Want me to explain more? it would take MANY hours to explain..

BTW Australias official HD TV standard will be 1080i - 1920x1080 interlaced.

Originally posted by Sonic:
Erm, the only problem with 100hz is that it repeat's fields giving you jitter... DNM uses the repeat to do interpolation hence getting rid of it.

100hz doesnt actualy do anything to the image..

And spending 2500 on a standard TV just for size is pretty crazy imo.

aLl YrOu PcItuRe QuAolIty aRe BeLoneG tO sONny!

I did quite a bit of research considering this is the second TV we have ever bought.. And it costs a fortune too, so I wasnt going to just throw that ammount of money away..

I do feel sorry for you spending 2 and a half grand on a normal TV.. Thats alot of money to spend on a TV while you "wait" for HD spec's to come up to scratch (Which is a good idea as current HD TV's suck pretty bad..)

DJ Fusion replies:
If you call a 32 inch Trinitron Widescreen a normal TV then pfft you're a goose dude.

Originally posted by Sonic:
If your spending that much money you would be an idiot not to get the TV I did, it uses the Falconic chip (Invented by Philips) to do real time interpolation, it allso does Digital Scan and Line Doubling, the end result is an image thats equal to progressive scan except it has double the framerate...

The model I bought has since been pulled off the market as they want to put it only in there high end TV's as a selling point, but the features name is DNM if you wanna look for it...

DJ Fusion replies:
And how much was yours then?

Sonic replies:
Mine was 2400 (knocked down from 2500) with an extra 3 years waranty 2480
The new model will cost 3k+ and the only other model that has it costs 7ish grand and is a 92cm widescreen.

DJ Fusion replies:
So it's only 29" not 32"..?

Sonic replies:
Yeah, 68cm 4:3 or 92cm 16:9 are the only 2 model's available that have this feature.

DJ Fusion replies:
No thanks.

Sonic replies:
I kinda feel sorry for DJ Fusion wanting that little bit of extra screen when he's not really getting that much extra screen and it wont be doubling his framerate or giving him a near/better-than progressive image quality.. His choice though.

Trinitron technology is quite fascinating. Instead of using a standard shadow mask, sony trinitron technology uses vertical strips of phosphers each for RGB seperated by high tension wires that run up and down the screen(aka aperture grill).

Because Trinitron technology uses an aperture grill it means that the electrons have a greater coverage of the screen, because the shadow mask on the other hand allows much less electrons through. What this means is that you'll get a brighter image on a Trinitron based tube.

Anyway, the post below was posted by the hacker at the time shown below. If you guys want to persue this, you just need to correlate the times of your server to that of the ISP's. Then you can narrow down the users posting at that time within +-5 mins or so and go from there.

Talking of people who have too much time on their hands...

From the moment the dame walked in, I knew she was trouble. She had a chip on her shoulder that matched the chip in my Dreamcast. $40 inc GST. She said she had witnessed a hacking. She had; she was hacking away at my heart.

I have two magnums in my desk. One's a gun I keep loaded. The other one's a bottle that keeps me loaded. I told her to sit down and fill me in on the details. The dame told me that the hacker posted just before midnight. All I had to do was correlate the times of her server to that of the ISP's. Then I can narrow down the users posting at that time within +-5 mins or so and go from there.

I couldn't do it alone. I got on the blower* to Elliot and Theo. The dame had a history with Theo. Theo didn't answer. He really was history. Elliot was as much help as a trenchcoat without a cool belt, so I contacted Carey Badcoe. She sounded like one of those people whose real last name is "Badcock", but who try to convince everyone that the "ck" is silent. Her past indiscretions didn't worry me now. I had a job to do. I would have asked her out, but she didn't date cereal.

She told me the hacker left her a note with the initials "HN". There were smilies painted on the walls. I had a sick one on my hands.

I heard the distinctive sound of a gun being cocked** behind my head. The dame had set me up. I used one of my magnums to make a retort, and the other to make a satisfying smashing sound. The dame was drenched. I hauled her up onto the chair by her hair, but only her hair came up with my hand. The dame was wearing a wig.

It was no dame. She had a dodgy goatie. And come to think of it, she'd been playing Star Wars on the other TV all night while everyone else was playing multiplayer games. With his last breath, he gurgled "@|:-<".


*obvious blower/blow her joke omitted.
**ditto

Dreamer replies:
I TOTALLY appreciate you trying to help, but something to be aware of in case something like this happens again. I do not work at Next media. I used to, over 2 years ago. I do freelance work for them these days, that's it. If you're ever trying to contact me, just email dan_toose@siriustel.com.au Don't try any other way... It'll just be involving other people who shouldn't be bothered by such stuff, and I don't want that kind of thing happening.

Zarevz replies:
Good afternoon Dreamer,

I too was rather concerned, at the time, about having to resort to third parties in contacting you, but I tried to be as polite as possible about the matter considering the time over at the Eastern States.

Perhaps I was overestimating the situation, but when thinking back to what was actually done to the forum I'm sure anybody here at that time would agree it was the appropriate action to undertake. I personally hope that nobody hassled you about me getting in contact, because in reality it's not like this is an everyday event, and I'm sure reasonable people would understand.

Remember Dreamer that the hacker could just have easily destroyed other files of more importance without realising (eg. Accounting Databases) and hence you needed to know that this was happening so that you could stop it. I'll make sure to email from me from now on.

Hope your date goes well.

Catch ya.

Dreamer replies:
Someone organise a blind date for me?

Zarevz replies:
Dreamer, you don't know of Carey Badcoe(ex Publisher, Business & Technology)? I know Next is isn't run out of someone's back yard garage, but surely it's withing the same complex...

It actually reminds me of a an Australian Publication, Silicon Chip, that virtually started out in a garage-sized office space. Same thing with another called Cut Throat Cheats over here in Perth, but they later collapsed when the artist and one writer left. It's quite strange as a child when you envisage magazines like Hyper to be the gospel, when in reality it's just everyday people running the things.

BTW - Did Elliot pass on the message?

LOL!! I'm not at that level yet, but I think I've done just about everything to unlock that game. The one bit I'm not sure about is how many bits of computer hardware do I have to collect before I can assemble the Rig of Dominance?

You can't get to the Rig of Dominance until you've fought and killed the Great Chop of Lamb after successfully navigating the Misty Sea of PS2s. Once defeated, he will give you his Fan of Ignorance before dying.

But you can only play 33% of the game with the Fan of Ignorance. I would rather play all of the game.

Do you know where to locate the Wallet of Good Fortune? I looked for the Thread of No Return where it was last seen but it's disappeared.

Yeah, but you've got to all three Fans of Ignorance to play the whole game.

Before you visit the Great Chop of Lamb, you have to get the other two Fans of Ignorance from The Vampire Lestat in the Swamp of Magnificent Console Variety, and The Sentient Lounge of Peppermint in Southern Pox. The Great Chop of Lamb is hardest to defeat because he attacks unprovoked, up to sixteen attacks at the same time.

When you've got all three Fans of Ignorance, they combine to form the Golden Brown Key of Fortune, which opens the rear entrance to the Fabled Land of Madmya [located in Abbot's Buried Village in the Fair Field]. You're supposed to fight him but I haven't seen him there yet.

You have to steal it from the lair of Adam, 15, from Adelaide.

OK, now I'm really stuck. I'm using the map you gave me Pikachu, and I'm at the Temple of Assets worth over $20000, but for the life of me I can't find any paint tins or keys???!?

Doesn't look like you've picked up the paintbrush in that level yet, PU.

The keys aren't in the bins as such, they're in the $20,000 of Assets. This is a trick though, because $15,000 of those assets is actually car parts in the largest bin. One key is in cylinder 7 of the '76 Torana engine.
