Review: Gamemon USB Converter
By Jeffrey | April 18, 2008
I was rambling around Walmart - I know, I know - the other day when I stumbled across a little package marked “USB Converter” in the computer section that claimed to allow for the use of Playstation, GameCube, or Xbox controllers on your PC. It was only $10, so I figured “Why not?” and picked one up.
Let’s see how the China-made box performed.

Guide: Make PS1 Games Beautiful Again
By Jeffrey | March 17, 2008
You know the feeling: you have some old games that you loved to play long ago, and you want to get them out again for nostalgic value, but there’s just that haunting thought that seeing the outdated graphics will lower your fond memories of the experience. But, thanks to the glory of emulation, and ePSXe in particular, the Playstation is one system that doesn’t have to suffer that fate, at least not yet.
Read on for the full scoop.

MameWAH Layout - MAMECade
By Jeffrey | March 14, 2008
After I’d been using my ClassiCade layout for a while I began to thought that an actual arcade cabinet would need something more fitting and professional looking.
The result: MAMECade - my layout intended to be used on actual arcade cabinets running MameWAH.

Steve Wiebe Fails To Set Record
By Jeffrey | March 13, 2008
Well, unfortunately it looks like Steve Wiebe has fallen short of reaching a new high score in Donkey Kong.
Playing in front of a fluctuating crowd of 1,900 party attendees in the TAO Nightclub (Venetian Casino), Steve Wiebe made two attempts at the DK record, first scoring 929,800 points and reaching the “Kill Screen” and then 579,300 points on the second try. According to Twin Galaxies records, this is the sixth time someone has reached the “Kill Screen” during a public gaming performance (3 times by Billy Mitchell and 3 times by Steve Wiebe). During this run, Steve slowly fell off the pace for a world record score as Walter Day continually compared Steve’s mounting score to the pace maintained by Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell during past games that reached or exceeded 1-million-points.
The second game saw Steve maintaining a higher scoring pace, point-pressing at a rate that would have come close to a 1-million-point score. However, Steve’s game lasted only until level 13-6, scoring 579,300 points. In Steve’s first game, he held onto his first man until the 453,400-point-mark. In the second game, he first died at 326,000 points.
Still, as someone who gets excited just to get 70 or 80,000 points in a DK session I am still impressed with Wiebe’s skills.
