Boured : that would be firefox here.

ok, enough is enough... first i started having this problem with MAME (well, this and the game screen was appearing to the top left of where it should be when i opened it in a new tab) and just now i tried playing gunlord and heard what i assume was the dreamcast boot up sound (i don't know cause i've never played dreamcast before) and...nothing. just a blank black space.

anyone know how to fix this?

i haven't done much here in quite a while (over a year maybe) and don't remember how but i know there was a way to sort by region in the retro game room.

iirc it was something you had to manually add to the URL of the page since it's not part of the 3 "sort by" options there.

how does one configure the controls when using MAMEhub to do netplay? i can't get anything to work but the game is up and running.

truly, some answers are the last thing we would think to check.

i didn't even know your plugin used flash. i never would've thought to check that.

well, it couldn't hurt to edit this into the OP post of the plugin thread in case others have this problem.

wow, ok... guess i'll use one of the html5 options for now then.

huh?

so...no help with this?

i just installed the plugin on my new desktop (still using firefox) and now, whenever i try to load a game using one of the emulators that require the plugin this happens:

would it help if i said i'm using windows 10? dunno why but i know full well that anything pc related can go wrong from just about any number of reasons. :/

hello! i can't seem to get any game to run with the emulators that require this plugin. the screen for the game is gray with " Vizzed plugin init script starting " underneath and nothing is happening.

edit: and yes, i still use firefox.

legacyme3 : "That said, it's still highly illegal."

"It doesn't matter if you agree with the law, or think it's silly, or any of that (I know I sure think it's silly). The law is still the law, and you can't break laws just because you think they are silly."

but that's just it. what nintendo has claimed to be piracy in the past and what they do through the virtual console service are both the exact same thing.

if i were to pay nintendo for a game on the virtual console i can then download the ROM and emulate it. which is the exact same thing i do when i download a ROM off a website like emuparadise and play it using an emulator.

nintendo themselves have said in the past that downloading ROMs of old games is piracy. yet they themselves commit those very same acts of piracy for profit while many people try to defend their actions.

"The law is still the law, and you can't break laws just because you think they are silly."

tell that to the people running nintendo who are exploiting a form of literal hypocrisy for profit while attacking those who do the exact same thing for free.

they should not be allowed to be exempt from the very crimes they accuse others of.

legacyme3: guess we know who doesn't care about the preservation of gaming history and having said history available to the public.

and it's extremely unlikely nintendo and other game companies will ever have all of those old titles available on services like virtual console, xbox live, or psn when currently, the overall selection across all 3 services likely isn't even 1% of the total games EP offered.

and speaking of, when you pay to download and play old games through those services you are doing exactly what users of websites like EP have been doing for free for at least 2 decades: downloading and emulating ROMs and ISOs of old games.

and the legality argument? pure hypocrisy since the ONLY difference between emulating those games for free vs using one of those services to emulate them is the fact you're paying a company before you can emulate a game.

pretty good time to start saving full romsets right now...

uh...pretty much what i was going to point out in this post there in the title. sorting by price in that section of the "market" part of the site still leaves things out of order.

probably the first 2 Ys games on virtual console but those weren't Wii games, those were turbgafx16 games that were emulated on the wii.

sorry but virtual console games don't actually count as part of the game library of the console they were emulated on.

no more ROMs and ISOs can be downloaded from good ol' EP.

mario, pokemon and...zelda, you say?

it's highly likely that this http://imgur.com/a/Yu0P0 is the exact reason for the removal.

nintendo is rereleasing a small number of old snes games and seem to have taken to nuking large chunks of various ROM sites collections, if not shutting the sites down entirely. most franchises shown in that pic are among the nuked ones. and don't bother with full romsets for nintendo games as those are likely to be nuked as well.

and i'd bet money (or Viz in this case) that nintendo started going after ROM sites like this just so they can force people to repurchase these old games they no longer make. in fact, i'd even go so far as to bet the games on this new SNES thing could be checked and found to be ROMs from emulation sites. that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was found to be true but it would leave me even more pissed at nintendo for doing this than i already am.

at this point, i've decided to just give up on console gaming entirely after this gaming generation. with all these companies and game developers taking part in increasingly s***ty practices, it just doesn't seem worth it to keep supporting them imo.

if i ever get a new console after this gen, it won't be to show support for these companies but rather just for some specific titles that might interest me and don't get a PC release.

so yeah, if something like this happens to ROM sites again in the future. just check what the company issuing the take downs is planning on releasing soon and you'll know the exact reason behind them: to leave people no choice but to pay for the rerelease(s).

i was just checking out the rank page

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/ranks.php?set=2&showall=0

and it won't let me view any rank set other than the mario set. same for the "edit profile & settings" page. they're both stuck on the mario rank set.

hey, Davideo7, if you happen to see this post you might want to run this "RGR Plugin 2.41" past AVG. cause i downloaded it earlier and when i tried installing it, AVG popped up an alert for a vizzed*something*serviceloader (i forgot what it said in that "something" part, sorry.) and gave no option to create an exception for it, only a button to remove it.

so i can't install it correctly. it was a medium threat alert.

ok, ty for that. um...

ok, pretty simple with uBlock.

you just click on the icon at the top then the element picker mode thing (looks like the color picker tool's icon in MSPaint.) > click the element you want then click the red "Add" button on the menu that comes up.

...you wouldn't believe the amount of...stuff this plugin setup blocks on some websites. like, go to an article on a mainstream media website like say...wallstreet journal and watch Disconnects number of blocked request go past 100 fairly quickly. uBlock will block a ton of stuff too and the cookies...well, they'll just auto delete as they come up unless you whitelist the site in question. and it's not just ads that get blocked. social media related stuff, google stuff...a whole lot of different garbage.

still, thanks for letting me know i could just use the element blocker function for that.

what? no, i'm asking how to stop it on this site, not how to access twitch by other means.

i don't own any mobile devices so that's of no use to me.to have multiple tabs up for this site (1 for browsing the retro games room, 1 for whichever game i'm playing, and maybe another for the forums) then that's multiple instances of twitch streaming which leads to a huge drain on my internet connection and a spike in resource usage for my laptop thus making the whole computer start lagging.

heck, on youtube, their idiotic auto quality adjust thing for videos typically thinks my connection is so slow that it tries loading videos in 144p (or was it 140p?). so my connection can't handle streaming videos much, let alone multiple instances of streaming.

having access to streaming videos and stuff like that is great but keep it optional. not autoplay across most of the website.

even on this forum thread there is a twitch video player that tries to start streaming the moment the page finishes loading. there should be a way to disable that if you don't want to stream things like that.
