Dreamcast Hacked
by Steve Gibson, Jun 30, 2000 7:35pm PDTA bit of follow-up to that story linked earlier about the Dreamcast being cracked. It looks like the folks at CNET have also been successful with hax0ring the Dreamcast. Basically they are making it possible to download Dreamcast games and play them on your hax0red Dreamcast without paying for the games, much like many people were doing with Playstations. This time though you dont even need a 'mod-chip' for your system.
But late last week, a group calling itself "Utopia" released a set of copied games online--along with a software program that would trick the Dreamcast hardware into playing the games without any modifications to the hardware itself. "Finally, though no one really expected it, we made your dreams come true: Dreamcast BootCD V1.1--boot copies and imports on a NON-chipped (!) standard consumer model," the group wrote in an information file distributed with the software.

Basially, Q3 add-on sales WILL be the hard core Q3 players. And if the Q3 players have RA3 for free....... that eats into the Q3 add-on, hence the delay of RA3...... and will be delayed until a few weeks after the add-on.... $ talks and bull shit walks...... so far..... NO RA3... guess RA3 walks......... (beleive me, I am passing on Diablo2, and I can pass gas just as easily as skip the Q3 Add-on) But the delay on RA3 is UNFUCKING EXCUSABLE. I bought Q3 in anticipation of RA3. WTF?
WTF? ID is turning into a POS $ hungry add-on of the software industry . Explain all that J.C. And park that car and come correct.
Frankly, im fucking dissolusioned. Just WTF does it take to make a great game these days? A M$ Xbox to make everyone talk about the same SHIT? Computer games used to be about the quality of the games. Now, it seems that marketing (the thin veneer of bull shit) is more important than the game itself.
Frankly J.C. your gonna get fat and Rommero'ed with your current, "milk the cow" attitude.
I hear there is a website called 'croteam'........ swim or sink J.C.
I'm a ramblin drunkard, but im gettin tired of bull shit and delays.

That'd actually be a "fun" game to play, since so many people are fed up with "the man" in their limited view. Going around killing evil CEO's, disseminating truth that hurts profit, preaching "real" human economics, bashing inflated stocks, etc. When you bring down the system, you WIN! Game over!
Then you realize you're left with a world in worse shape than you began with because there's no more McDonalds! Ahh! Enter the multiplayer sequel! This time you get to rebuild the world in your own idealistic vision. You pit your designed model against other players models. Communists, anarchists, capitalists, etc, all compete for global domination, and in the end, it turns out Capitalism is the worst system, except all the rest. :)

"Server Load Test - June 12, 2000 - Essobie
All last night 2 RA3 servers were up for a little "secret" server load testing of the latest build. Everyone had a great time.
For those of you that don't know what happened, basically crt put up 2 servers running the new RA3 code, and then made available enough of the client files to players in #rocketarena on irc.enterthegame.com for them to be able to join these servers and play all night long.
A private beta testing team consisting of established RA2 clans is going to be used for rigorous map testing. The beta team has already been selected so please DO NOT ASK to be on the testing team. We have not yet notified the clans that were selected as of yet... be patient.
Some frequently asked questions:
Q: Was the "beta" released last night?
A: No. Only some of the client files were released. You can't start a server with just that. The test was to iron out any obvious bugs and to test the server code for any problems.
Q: Will there be any more of these tests?
A: Perhaps. :)
Q: I'm not in a clan... can I still be on the beta test team?
A: Unfortunately no. We feel this is the best way to do a fast, organized beta test and get the best quality feedback.
Q: But I'm r337 and have played Rocket Arena since DooM!
A: Sorry. "
The date was June 12. This is July. Just how long does it take to do a stress test?
oh yeah....... hmmmmmmmmmm, now its delayed until the Add-on game. Got news for ya id software........ now that you have obviously delayed RA3 until after your 'add-on'.......... im never.... and I mean NEVER buying your 'add-on' game........... EVER.
*HALO'ED*
btw- I will never be fished in again like I was on Halo. :(
My arguements hold true...... they will esp more true when the Q3 Add-on is out before RA3.
RA3 and Q3 add-on. Anyone thats been around knows its even money now.
My money is on the Q3 add-on first :)
WHERE IS RA3?

dont know what to say..... but RA3 is definitely getting delayed for 'other than altruistic' reasons.... IMHO.
oh well, just speculation.
But if we dont get into that market, the other software houses will. There is more money in software now than in anything else. And if we dont get into it now, the other families will.... and for more money. Software is the future.

Only one game I'm waiting on now. Serious Sam!
Yeah, u got that goddamn right. Serious Sam. Why? Because that is 'Croteam's baby. It is their bread and butter. They sink or swim on that game. No-one in Croatia drives anything better than a gdamn Yugo.... but they can creat a game like that.
THE YOUNG TURKS ARE COMMING! And this is a good thing. Getting tired of delays and bull shit.

*Human Geno'ed
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights has remained, to this very day, the words that guard our(the USA's) freedom. However, a current 'liberal' thinking in the U.S. Courts threaten that freedom. That liberal thinking is the "Breathing Document" dogma. Meaning that words dont mean that much, and the 'Constitution' must be interpreted for 'modern' realities. That is just a bunch of crap for taking away freedoms that ARE guarenteed by the US Constitution, and a Federal Goverment system that is worried about the backlash of firearms when they try to assert 'authoritarian' measures a few years down the road.

FROM MY COLD DEAD HAND MOTHER FUCKER!
i got a dreamcast 2 or 3 months ago, have about 15 games for it.
(mdk2, soul reaver, draconus, crazy tazi, etc etc).
i was havin a shit load of fun with it as is, then the gameshark cdx came out, extra spoogage. (powerstone 2 is fucking insane).
now you can pirate the damn games... what does this mean? uh... probably nothing. i know a lot of my friends went out and bought psx's when mod chips became the norm (and cdr drives became 'cheap').
i hope this doesn't turn into a frenzy though.
and second of all: ripping out things like music to make the game fit on a cd?! i don't like that idea of that. soul reaver had great music, really help set the mood (and ariel would be pretty hot if she wasn't missing that big chunk of flesh on her face).
third: i just wanted a third point.
fourth: i thought of something else to say while writing out point two, but i forgot it after point three.
god damn i'm bored.

If your Windows Media Player crashes one more time on my computer, I will uninstall it from my machine and no longer use it nor will I recommend anyone else use it.
Thank you
