[removed for the sake of sanity lol since this doesn't matter anymore.]

It doesn't help that i only check vizzed occasionally since it hasn't been working for a year xD


EDIT: The updated Vizzed RGR launcher WORKS So whatever you guys had found problematic fixed it in its entirety but make sure to apply the portable firefox to open as administrator or it will give a temp folder (NSIS) read error!

Update 3/28/2024

I had to do a factory reset due to some unfortunate circumstances (faulty component crashed the PC to a permanent blue-screen.)

As of writing this update I've been unable to get Vizzed RGR to work unfortunately. My previous route has ben unsuccessful, as the RGR plugin update 2023+.msi sends me to a website page that merely says "cannot read, the file has been moved, edited or deleted".

Effectively, at least for me, Vizzed RGR plugin has become unusable, which sucks to say because it worked great prior to needing to reinstall again. the process I stated before is pretty straight forward (and ultimately the proper way to do a total-reinstall) and should ultimately fix a lot of issues... but in my case I'm S.O.L at this point. :c

So first off, the VC++ issue, you can fix this error by going to majorgeeks and looking for an AIO (all in one) file that holds all the redistributables of VC++ in it. There's a really nice one https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/visual_c_redistributable_runtimes_aio_repack.html over here. This is the one my father used to get his working.

Now, there's another problem you might run into (which I ran into as well) and that is a "Error writing temporary file, Make sure your temp folder is valid"

This problem plagued both me and my father, but I managed to find a way to fix it, and it was a bit of a shocker how easy it was after stumbling around ways to fix it online (and all of them not working.)

I just reinstalled and it worked perfectly. But you HAVE TO do it the correct way, don't cut corners.

• Close all browsers
• Use the uninstall option inside the vizzed app folder (the one with 4 shortcuts in it) You can find it by right clicking the vizzed retro game room app tab and opening the folder location. DELETE ALL ROMS TOO. Yes you'll be downloading the program again but this is a total/fresh re-install.
• Use a program to clear your registries if you have one. I have CCleaner.
• Restart computer
• Reinstall the first part of the vizzed plugin
• Use the second part of the plugin install to repair the 2022+ plugin update.
• Restart immediately, do not open a browser (just in case)

This got my rgr plugin working correctly.

My last movie seen would have to be Hercules actually! Was one of those situations where old-school Disney was just the itch i needed to fulfill. It was a great reminder of what i grew up watching as a kid

Zircron Swift : I can see clearing the survival world/worlds to completely re-stock the overly mined land of resources we no doubt all still desperately need, but clearing the main-stay world where most people create their major creations (even if they are inactive, after all, real life comes first.) will cause many people to become deterred from joining the server again, since much of what they do will no longer be around. And let's face it, even if the main realm needs to be cleaned up of old equipment... they still are memorials to those that do not play anymore. I'd say just repopulate/regenerate the survival world, but keep the creative/building world the way it started. Lest we have an uproar of unhappy minecrafters.

I just came back to it after almost 2 years of being unable to sign in

I'm sorry Nintendo kicked you in the butt there Davideo They've been cracking down on a TON of sites for even *suggesting* their equipment (old and new) and their "income" being effectively "diverted" by such change in equipment usage no matter how old the equipment is (or if they even possess the production means to continue selling said products legitimately)... It makes me sick seeing they're hitting a site like this for using games from so long ago that in all senses of the matter, have been 'flogged to death' by Nintendo in its greed.


I truly hope things get better for you and your website/rights; And Nintendo gets their karma back 10 fold in the future for the headache they've caused you. Because they've also been flagging/filing lawsuits against people who even speak about Mario or chant the intro of the songs via youtube videos. It's appalling how far greed will take a company to destroy its own ability to be spread to a generation of people who would never know the origins of those characters without the promise of getting a quick buck from the internet, let alone media coverage of them in such a manner. And in turn their income for new games would be crippled in the process due to this desire for money from an already drained supply of games...

I, and my father who grew up on these games as a child, appreciate you looking out for the community in such a way and the classic games and the generations that have been raised with them. And i personally want to thank you for helping get my father to have a walk through memory lane with all of these consoles we still have but no longer can use due to water damage/age.

I wish you the best Davideo, and I'm sure this site will last many years to come under your watchful eyes and engaging/creative style of speaking/playing with the community.

$$$$ : The most bizarre i've seen is snow in April when no clouds are in the vicinity.... this yea however takes the cake however, as we broke the 1994 record snow-fall of November (the year i was born) of 30 inches... and that was FEBRUARY with nearly 32 inches in 2 days. It's absolutely disturbing what mother nature is capable of. But hey, I'm all for snow compared to the heatwave we're having now. What disturbs me most of this massive amount of snow is that it had melted in just under three DAYS! I mean come on!

This happened to me as well a few months back with Chrome, FireFox and IE... I couldn't get PSX (Playstation 1) to work. Sega Genesis also didn't work, but GBA and Nintendo 64 did.


It is now effecting me again as well... it'll load the ROM, start the emulator and immediately shut down the emulator.

I've tried all the aforementioned emulators (with all available options to emulate, both Java based and VizzedRGR based) and all give the same problem I never got a fix for this issue either. And returning to a prior update simply gives me an error telling me there's a newer one available to download. I would greatly appreciate if this is fixed soon....

same problem here as well. Loads the rom, then changes to "Emulator closed" on all systems i've tried thus far (Gameboy Advanced, Playstation, Atari, Sega Genesis)

Here's the log.

Just the most recent, involving Playstation, but it's the same issue with the others as well.

this was an issue back in the first week of August. I've figured out the issue as far as i'm aware, Mednafan is working fine now. However what caused it was never really explained. But no. 25 days since the issue, it is fine. The issue was prevalent from about 7/24/2015 until 8/10/2015. Since then it has been running properly.

yea, the one I'm using is a prototype build of the 970 (it's one of a few built that were test-builds for the 980's current design.) Basically it's the 'little brother' of the GTX 980. The power of the 970 in the chassis of the 970.

As for memory on my computer it might be just simply the issue that my computer tries to run *everything* at ultra resolution and is causing a leak when it tries to read Vizzed, 'thinking' that it needs more memory than it needs and causing the program itself to overload and become slower... sadly i'm not a tech wizard so it's all speculation at this point :/

None that i can recall, but i tend not to really touch older than NES systems. N64 i did for a while however with the same issues as the Sega's non-medna versions.

My father is one who plays the older games but he says he hasn't had any major issue except the occasional crash on the old Atari 2600 games.

But anywho thanks for the responses, do keep us vizzed members updated about possible fixes for non medna systems though if possible! Mednafan is nice but still has its quirks like being processor hungry (16gb of ram and still having loading issues due to not enough memory allocation even though it's unlimited. )

I run an I7-quad core with Nvidia GTX970 prototype graphics card on a Windows 7 Home Premium OS with 16GB ram and 1TB hard drive.. I run twin 23 inch borderless monitors (one HD, the other on VGA; both through the 970 GTX card at 1920 x 1080) and wired USB mouse/keyboard. this computer cost me 2 grand to build. and it runs most current gen games like Eliteangerous and Star Citizen at 300+ FPS on ultra quality. It's an amazing machine. :3

Internet browser wise i use Firefox solely for the use of Vizzed, and nothing else, i use Chrome for everything else.


As for why i choose the keyboard over the controller? I've killed controllers by over using them. This is my fourth set of controllers (one is XB1, the other is XB360) which i use for games like Elite: Dangerous. When i use them for games like this i tend to forget it's an older game and attempt (stupidly) to use ALL the buttons. It just saves me trouble by using the keyboard


After a while i found Mednafan works perfectly fine by the way, but the other choices seem sluggish still; Giving these slow trigger readings as if sticky keys is on. I've tried everything that was suggested including the more ridiculous of going through reinstalling and immediately running with admin without firewall. Same problem persists.


I mean I'm doing fine with mednafan but with games that don't have it, I'm kinda S.O.L y'know?

So got a bit of a problem involving a couple games, primarily GBA games like Harvest Moon and fast paced racing games such as the Sega Genesis games OutRun and Road Rash series.

Controls feel very... sluggish... You press a button and it could take multiple presses to get the button to activate. OR it'll get 'stuck' in the pressed activation and just keep turning your vehicle/character in that direction until it finally registers the button had been released (usually within 2 - 5 seconds of letting go. Long enough to notice but not long enough to ruin a game like harvest moon, but enough to get you completely wrecked in a game like Road Rash.


I have used a controller with no problem, but for some reason the keyboard does this. I have tried the basics in the thread such as cleaning the cache, unplugging/replugging the keyboard and updating drivers when applicable.


The other thing is that Genesis recently was completely unplayable and just came back online last night for many of the games i played on a regular basis. GBA also had this problem when 2.3 initially came out but was brought online much faster than Genesis. I doubt this has anything to deal with what is happening here but I'm not leaving out any possibilities at this point.

Welcome to minecraft! A cube world to create your own masterpiece ranging from pixel art to the immersive full scale cities and game of your childhood! Here I will be showing you some little tidbits of help, information that may prove useful such as basic tool functions, redstone support and some suggestions on mods or mod loaders!

Alright so, Your first day in the world of Minecraft hm? Well the first thing you'll want to do in any game involving survival is get some protection. A simple dirt house will suffice you for the first couple nights. Explore the map, find a suitable location to build and settle down because this game is limited only by your patience and imaginative ability.

When you enter the game you are spawned in a random biome, or region in which the weather and ground coincide one another. (For instance a swamp biome will never see snow and will rain far more often than say, a plain biome.)

Some of the biomes most commonly found:

Forest: A dense region of trees which can be in snowy, rainy or dry regions, these regions can be rather abundant and visible by the darker grass compared to plains biome grass. They also will be where you find a much wider variation in tree type. So keep an eye out for these regions when possible if you're looking for a particular wood.

Jungle: DENSE tree zones, with lush green grass which tends to be completely covered by leaves from other trees. The trees also tend to have 2x2 size trunks and covered in vines which can be climbed to reach the canopy. The trees grow to become massive, sometimes having well into the hundreds when it comes to wood. It rains often but due to the tree canopy, the rain hardly ever reaches beyond it... This also means mob will have a less likely chance of being killed by the light when  protected by this canopy.

Plains: A wide open region with little blemishes (such as hills and caverns) to be found. This tends to be the best biome for gardens and farms if that is the way you play the game. But be warned that Creepers are more abundant in these areas.

Desert: Wide, empty regions without much in the way of water, these regions are great for individuals wanting to test out red stone designs and rail way contraptions.

Mountain:  Rocky and difficult to trek through, these regions are great for building natural cave homes or hidden rooms, mine-shafts and other pleasantries.

Swamp: Now, this one is interesting, as this is the only location above world that you actually can find slime above ground abundantly. These regions are great for sticky piston production and useful for finding water easily.

Ocean: great location for fishing, spans much of the minecraft realm for the most part. You tend to find more ocean biomes than you do simple rivers, which seems relatively unusual compared to what one may think for a world.

Beyond these biomes, there are several variations (sub-biomes) such as Taiga, Mesa, Tundra, Dark Forest, mushroom, and very unusual combinations such as edge and mega(extreme) variations of these biome which interlink like puzzle pieces.  You might have a desert biome connected to a swamp for instance! There are also rare variations such as Ice Plains (like tundras only involving compact ice in large spikes with relatively no trees)

FURTHER HELP: Now then, there's an easy way to find out what biome your in. press F3, and it will show you a diagnostic screen with all the information you need. XYZ location, height, biome, what direction you're facing (cardinal directions, N W S E) ping, frame rate, memory use and so forth.


Monsters are bad m'kay?:

Beware these:

Zombie:  The generic zombie of the night, these are impact based. Groaning and moaning as if they want you to know they're coming up behind you with every squelch of their feet. They spawn at night and in caves with lacking sources of light. They burn in the sunlight. use it to your advantage! they have a tendency to spawn in groups of 4 or greater unless the location is too thin to allow it.

Skeleton archer: Same as the zombies as far as weakness to sunlight and spawning in the night. However unlike them, they are long range based. They have a tendency to spawn in groups of two or greater.

Spider: This annoying little bug has two variations, the Cave spider, which spawns in abandoned mine shafts, are always aggressive and can poison you. (Use milk to cure poison!) and the Spider. The spider that spawns on the surface and in normal cave systems are non-venomous and have a slightly longer view range than skeletons but shorter range compared to the zombie. The Spider and Skeleton have a 1% chance every-time a spider spawns to create a Spider Jockie, a rare mob where a skeleton rides a spider... These individuals have the view range of a spider but have the advantage of having the attack range of the skeleton archer... However the skeleton is still susceptible to light and will burn when in daylight, either burning the spider or leaving the spider upon death. Spiders do not die in daylight but they DO become docile until night. Do not attack them during the day and you'll be fine until nightfall. It's better to attack spiders at range because they will jump at you when in range to attack.

Creeper: This is the ultimate troll of the monsters on the over-world/surface world. A silent assassin with a belly full of gunpowder. They get up right behind you and will not hesitate to destroy anything and everything you create. Creepers tend to spawn in the plains biome more readily, having a much longer view range compared to the other monsters and only making sound when they either drop from a large fall OR just before they blow you up like an old bottle rocket. These monsters will not die in daylight unlike zombies or skeletons and tend to spawn individually more than groups, but when their view range is so wide it's common to get the attention of multiple.

(NOTE: Nether monsters will be explained later in the thread.)


Feeling more confident in surviving against the enemy? Now comes the real part!

Building basics:

So, you've chosen a location to build your first home or "hut" as it would be... This would more than likely be due to it getting dark. Monsters are much more aggressive and spawn closer to your location based upon difficulty so beware if it's your first time and you spawned on hard so take a little time and wait for daylight by blocking the way into the building by using the dirt you picked up. Punch a single block out of the wall at eye level. This will keep mobs from getting in but let you see into the darkness so you can know when daylight comes around.

Firstly you'll need at the very least a stack of 64 wood blocks (the stuff directly off the trees). Be wary however, it's much more efficient to remove the ENTIRE trunk of the tree, the leaves will vanish upon losing the trunk and open up more room to build. Also stick around the breaking down trees! As the leaves vanish they will have a chance to drop saplings to plant more trees.


The first thing to build is wood planks. Remember all those wood blocks you got? Place them (one stack per change) into one of the slots next to your character's picture in the inventory screen. Then, hold shift and click on the outcome box (showing wood planks). This will put all of your wood planks into your inventory.

Now, use four of those wood planks, place one in each of those same four slots you had to change the wood into wood planks. This will create you a crafting table, and give you your first major achievement aside from getting wood and checking your inventory.

Awesome! This is your first legitimately helpful 'tool'! Congratulations are in order. But before that, we got something else to do. Let's open up your inventory and make some sticks! pick up an entire stack of wood planks (you should have 4 full stacks or around that much if you had the full stack of wood. If not, try to guess on how much you'll need.

Now, place at LEAST 1 wood plank on a bottom slot of the input slot for making your items. and put another above. This will make 4 sticks.

Make at least 32 sticks for ease of use and so you have extras.

Place this workbench into your little dirt shack and then prepare to make some tools and a little something extra!

Beginner tools:

For ease of explanation here is how to build simplistic tools using the workbench's input>output.

O = wood plank (or equivalent ore such as gold ingots, iron ingots or diamond. More on these later)
U = empty slot
T = stick

Wooden axe:
OOU
OTU

Wooden Pickaxe:

Wooden shovel:

UTU

Wooden Sword:
UOU
UOU
UTU

Wooden Hoe (tool):
OOU
UTUI
UTU


(IMPORTANT!!): Build 2 chests:
OOO
OUO
OOO

The chest is unique, you can place 2 together and expand the inventory it can hold to double what only one can carry. It also saves space. Keep it separated, you'll find yourself making many more in the future.

These will prepare you to fight, mine, farm and so forth.

Pickaxes are probably the most vital tool at your disposal. Shovels being a close second. I say this because all enemies can be outrun so long as you can sprint.

Speaking of sprinting: you're probably low on food, or close to it. Let's use that hoe shall we? Pull out your hoe and find a nice spot near your house. right click on a dirt block and you'll see that it readies the land for planting. We'll need some seeds for this! Go out and beat on some grass, eventually you'll pick up a few seeds. Come on back and right click on the tilled grass with the seeds in hand, you'll plant the seeds. This will make wheat in a few minutes of growing. You can speed up the process using a bucket of water. When the wheat has turned brown (fully grown) you can break it for a bushel of wheat and more seeds. replant the seeds. You'll need 3 bushels of  wheat to make bread at your workbench.
To make bread
O = wheat
U = empty
UUU
OOO
UUU


Alright, Now then; You've got your basic tools, you got some food being made and a nice little hut... Now comes the more annoying part. Beginning to mine. You'll find yourself in the darkness of tunnels and mineshafts for hours if you're not careful! Stick near the surface, fine exposed coal ore and dig up a couple dozen cobblestone. Cobblestone is a very abundant and important item which can be used to improve your weapons. But first:

Build a furnace (the same ordeal applies):
O = Cobblestone
U = Empty
OOO
OUO
OOO

Place this furnace down and use some of the remaining cobblestone to make an improved sword, shovel, axe and pickaxe at your work bench. The stone pickaxe will be needed to mine Iron!

Remember that Coal you picked up? Pop it into the furnace a while. you can stack most items in stacks of 64, Excluding tools and armor. Some items such as snowballs have a smaller stacking ability like 16 or 32. Usually they'll be in increments of 8.

Go out and begin digging, You'll want a couple stone pickaxes in case you break 'em down in the mines. Also bring along about 32 wood planks so you can make some torches (1 coal, 1 stick) if you ever lose your way.

Okay spend some time in the caves and dig til your hearts' content. When you feel you've gotten a good backing of iron bring it back. You'll be unable to use it until you smelt the iron in your furnace! This will allow you to use the Iron Ingots. It takes time to smelt iron and gold. Diamond is dropped as a ready to use item.

When you have enough Iron stock piled, make a new sword, 3 iron pickaxes and a shovel. Then find more iron unless you have a bunch to spare. When you have enough: Build yourself some armor!

O = iron ingot
U = empty

Helmet:
OOO
OUO
UUU

Chestplate:
OUO
OOO
OOO

Leggings:
OOO
OUO
OUO

Boots:
UUU
OUO
OUO

When you've built them you can put them into the slots on the left side of your avatar in the inventory screen.

Also build a couple buckets.
O = iron ingot
U = empty

Bucket:
UUU
OUO
UOU


From here up it's a hunt for diamonds! Prepare yourself for the most grueling grind of your life to reach the Ender Dragon.... it's going to be a nightmare.

After a few hours of digging around you'll run into the diamonds at some point. After that you'll be in the need of new diamond tools and
armor.

After you get your armor it's going to be an even harder hunt. Fill up a bucket with water and venture into the depths once again. This time you're looking for lava. When you find lava dump your water onto it to make obsidian! You need a diamond pickaxe to dig up obsidian and it takes a bit of time to dig up. Pick up the water with your emptied bucket again. Then, dig up a stone from the corner of the obsidian, and pour the water into this little crevice. Once you do that start digging outwards from the water. This is a safety measure to keep it from being destroyed by lava AND to save you

When you've collected a hefty amount (around 32 or more if possible!) you can head back up to the safety of your house.

Now then, this might seem silly since you've been living off bread and rotten flesh from zombies no doubt, but hunt down those cows! You'll need plenty of them to make what you need for this next step.

The next step is making bookshelves, and an enchanting table. You're going to need 2 diamonds, a lot of books, and at least 4 extra obsidian from your batch that you brought up. This will be an interesting little project and you'll need to slaughter many cows. You'll also need a sugar cane farm. Unlike wheat, Sugar cane only grows near water. So, when you get it, make sure to plant some near your house! Sugar Cane is normally found in swamp, plains or the edge of ocean biomes. These plants grow to be 3 tall. So when you break it, leave the bottom one planted! only take the top 2 from the stalk..  Now.. turn that sugar cane into paper!

O = Sugar Cane
U = empty

Paper:
UUU
OOO
UUU

Now, remember all that leather you picked up? start using that paper and the leather to make books!

L = Leather
P = Paper
U = empty

Book
UUU
PPU
LPU


Alright! Now we got some books! Now, turn those into bookshelves using the wood planks and books.

U = Wood Planks
O = Books

Bookshelf
UUU
OOO
UUU

now you'll need a lot of these but you'll also need a book for something else! An Enchanting table!

D = Diamond
O = Obsidian
B = Book
U = Empty

Enchanting Table
UBU
DOD
OOO

Okay now then place this down in your house with plenty of room around it! Because there's a special way to place these bookshelves around it. You'll be putting the shelves down 2 layers (so the shelf will be eye level) around the enchantment table. here is the setup to reach level 30 enchants.

B = Bookshelves 2 high
O = empty walkway
E = Enchanting Table
BBBBB  
BOOOB
BOEOB
BOOOB
BBOBB

You'll need around 30 bookshelves (People say you only need 15 bookshelves, but it looks nicer like this and assures an average level 30 enchant with good results..) which means you'll need 90 books! And in turn much more paper, along with 90 pieces of leather.  Yes, this is a pain in the butt to do. And cows are like diamonds, a real rarity sometimes! Now the next thing you'll need is Lapis Lazuli, which is pretty useless blue stuff, or so everyone claimed. But now it's needed to enchant your items!


Okay now then, you'll need something else next You'll probably have dug up gravel on your travels and got something called flint. It looks like broken glass charred by fire. Place this with one piece of iron diagonally from one another in your inventory build ability. You'll make Flint-Steel, which will let you light the next build.

the next thing we build is the nether portal. Which thanks to a recent patch can be any shape you so desire so long as you can fit in it.

You'll need obsidian to create it just to warn you.


After building it you'll light it with the flint steel. This will open the ability to go to the nether world! Here there are many things to get but several more ways to die. The world is filled with lava, high ledges and sudden drops. Magma moves like water, quick and unexpected so don't go digging around without a backup plan!


Here in the nether you have several enemies to be wary of.

Ghast: They sound like babies, they look like flying slimes with faces and tentacles. They shoot fireballs and are immune to fire. Hit the fireball back at them to kill them easily or use a bow! Otherwise use cobblestone to block their fireballs! Cobblestone will not be removed upon impact with the fireball

Blaze: These guys are a pain in the neck. They fire charges of fire at you that inflict damage over time. They are found in the nether fortress normally around their spawners. This monster is a key in your entering the end. This is the only hint i will give you about the end. As you need to have fun!

Zombie Pigman: These creatures act like wolves. They do not attack until you attack them. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone as well. However if you do upset them, they become relentless and will not stop going after you until you kill all of the angered pigmen.

Wither skeleton Black, tall and wielding a beast of a sword they tend to be with other skeletal swordsman that can make your trip to the nether a torture task. The attack of the wither skeleton is special, it puts an ailment that causes you to lose health and you can not see what your health is at while it happens. This can be a real pain if you knew you were low to begin with.

When you come back from the nether be sure to save your stuff. those blaze will need to be crushed into powder and you'll also need to kill many enderman to get their pearls. You attach the pearls to the blaze powder and thus you get the Eye of Ender. You'll need several of these to open the end portal and a couple more to find a fortress. So be aware, there is much more to do!


HELPFUL TIPS!

Silverfish are another hostile mob that is found around overworld fortresses. They guard the end portal. When you're unsure of which is a silverfish egg, hit it with something other than the pickaxe! It will not take as long to break, and you can use it to avoid a nasty assault.

Having a skeleton kill a creeper drops a random music disk!

Having a full food bar will not drain nearly as much as a missing food piece would. It's a saturation bonus that allows more to be done So it's helpful to keep bread, cooked food and cake around as extra support in such situations.

Wolves can be tamed using bones dropped from skeletons!

Some monsters will carry items or armor you can take!

You will hear all mobs except the creeper and wither skeletons before you see them.

Use an anvil to repair items before they break, you'll need the ingot you made the item with to do so and a couple levels of experience.

Redstone Repeaters can be used to extend redstone reach without changing the time of the switch.

Powered rail is useful for pushing carts up long hills and tracks, you only need one every 12 normal rails if it is on flat surfaces. If it's going up hill it'll need to be placed in sets of 3  every 4 normal tracks. Otherwise you'll end up going right back down.

Hoppers can be used to move items from a chest into a dispenser, furnace, dropper or another chest!

beds can be used to spawn your character at your house! you'll need 3 wool and 3 wood planks.

The other thing you'll find helpful: The surface tends to be at 64 on average, and will decrease in time until it reaches 2! (this is when the bedrock layer begins and you can not pass it.)

Coal is found anywhere between stone and bedrock

Iron is found between level 2 and 67 BUT is found more often between 12 and 32

Gold is found between levels 2 and 32 BUT is found more often between 15 and 32

Lapis Lazuli is found between levels 2 and 33 BUT is found more often between 2 and 20

Redstone is found between 2 and 15 (there is no real known common region for this to spawn. it's pretty common around Diamond...)

Diamond is found between 2 and 15 BUT is found more often between 5 and 12 (is most common at layer 13 though!)

Gold is found between 2 and 33

Emerald is a little trickier. Found commonly on layer 13 and will nearly always be readily available in the EXTREME HILLS EDGE biome. stick to the very limit of the region, use F3 to do this, and you'll find Emerald relatively easily


And most importantly....

Beware of HIM
He watches all.



Happy mining everyone!

Dorian520 : this problem is still occurring yes. not just Sonic but all of the Genesis games I've tried... from what I read earlier the update adjusted something involving the CHT files that need to be re-added to the games involving non-applicable files to make them run... Problem is there was no announcement or warning to the public that entire *systems* would be down while this is worked upon. Earlier it was far worse. SNES, Genesis, N64 and even certain gameboy names wouldn't work. Now it seems like the majorly afflicted systems are Genesis. Still though, I really do wish that something would be informed to the public about the progress of fixing this... or at least a list of afflicted consoles as they get fixed. I've been without my Genesis classics since beginning of 2.3

Update / and / or / bump:


So after a bit of waiting I guess the games in question have slowly been fixed. I'm guessing (from what I read earlier) that much of the Vizzed "repertoire of games  has lost its CHT file?

Or something of that sort, which allowed it to communicate and download to the Vizzed plugin....


Sadly Genesis systems seem to be the primarily damaged consoles (Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega Saturn etc).



Although I'm quite upset at the dead silence lately in at least explaining to the public what's going on Alotta games are out of commission due to this problem and I'm not the only one who's requested information, only to be either left in silence or asked the simple stuff that would be common sense to try... After 4 days of silence I'm not going to lie... I'm quite irked at this silence... At least help with an announcement of afflicted consoles or something to assure the public it's being worked on! Please?

I too am having this problem. Sega Genesis games seem to be failing heavily compared to other system games and i can not load them at all.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit

Firefox

VC++ is set up according to the requirements set up as said by Vizzed official forum standards.

Backing to the 2.25 version of RgR also does not work, and continues to show no improvement. I have not received any information from the mods, nor have i recieved any information on the forums from this problem and can not seem  to get any headway in getting it resolved. The silence the past 4 days is... unsettling.

So you think you have what it takes to become a rasher? Well then prepare to be headlong with traffic in this crash-course designed to help the newer generation learn the way of the no-holds-barred racing style that is Road Rash 3.  There will also be you-tube videos of my game play through these tracks (up until level 3 anyways where I ended up stopping due to work getting too busy


Level 1 Gameplay Footage

Okay so you got your first bike, a thousand bucks and a need to bash the nearest junkie's head into the pavement huh? Well you're going to want some information on some of these rashers before you go headlong, as some of them hold little tricks others won't. Especially later on in the game. There are two tracks you are greeted with in level 1 that will wreck your chances of winning every time if you're not prepared for them. The U.K, and Germany. BEWARE THE TURN!

Germany: Ah the snowy alps of the German countryside. Rocking music, skiers who have no clue what to do, bumps, ice patches and logs strewn about the corkscrew roadways!  But be warned, a nasty surprise awaits you at about 4 miles in. Going over 90 will send you careening off the track, and more than likely, off your bike!

The U.K: Alright kiddies here's a little tip, in the U.K the roads are opposite! That's right, you heard me. Inbound traffic is on the RIGHT of the road, and will obliterate you every chance they get. Be on the watch for police copters as this track is notorious for these individuals to show up first!

The biggest pain in the neck you need to worry about in level 1's track selection, is:

Lucky Luc. This rasher is found in 3rd place, on all tracks and tends to have quite a distance between the others. You'll find yourself kissing this guy's tailpipe most of the game. His weapon of choice is the Oil can, a devilish little device that slicks your tires and causes you to lose turning ability briefly and gives him a chance to pull away. It's even more annoying as the race tracks are short, only being around 7 miles.

How to avoid Really there is no direct way to avoid this attempt, as he tends to keep just a hair ahead and put his bike directly in front of yours. He's a real charmer no? Keep swerving and you're bound to hit his oil. But stick behind him and you won't make it.

How to pass: There is a neat little trick you can use that pushes your bike a bit faster, rapidly turning left and right (leaning) will give your tires more traction and push your engine.
 HINT: If you play without music you can hear when your bike picks up this high-rev! Use this to get around Lucky or at least get up beside him and knock him off the bike.  Although the sound of the bike is rather whiny...

After you pass Lucky the game is pretty easy. The others are no where near as annoying. At least as far as level 1 goes.


NATASHA: Whatever you do; DON'T hurt this rider! She tends to ride just behind Lucky Luc in 4th place, 6th in Level 2. Basically keep an eye out for her! She tends to give helpful tips and let you pass. Also she gets pepper spray (Mace) in level 2, which REALLY can ruin your day! Don't mess with this lady Rasher, the moment you upset her, is the moment you get stuck dealing with her fighting you the entire game afterwards.

Okay so you got past Level 1 and you feel pretty good about your chances right? WRONG! That's only a taste of the brutality. A new track shall reveal itself in place of the normal 5th track, Australia, and a new string of weapons! The Nun-chucks and cattle prod. Two new contenders appear. Nina, and Bolo. These two are ruthless when it comes to combat!

TIP: But wait, I have a weapon from level 1! How can I hold another!? Well here's a quick tip! Holding UP on the D-pad (or whatever you have set for up on the D-pad) and pressing START, will cycle through your weapons! You can hold up to 3 weapons so choose wisely! Sadly I'm unsure of how to drop weapons.
   When you get into level two, immediately find Ikira and wail on her. Take those nun-chucks and make 'em yours! You'll want them later... If she doesn't have 'em there are three individuals in the back of the pack that may have a chance of wielding them. I tend to pick on Rhonda personally


Australia: Welcome to the outback! A wild and flat terrain filled with kangaroos and other treacheries that no doubt will bite you right where the sun ain't meant to shine! The rashers are more eager to kill you, the traffic is fast but minimal and the curves can be brutal!

The Rashers tend to fight much more ferociously from this point on! Be careful of them especially when you're in a wolf-pack of 'em all trying to hit you! Know when to hit and when to run. Or you'll end up on the pavement in a puddle of your own scrapped bike, oil and blood...

(ignore the Skype message sounds please, these videos are old and I'll be making new ones eventually.)
Welcome to the big leagues of the beginner guide and your last little tidbit of information involving the game's tracks and some of the rashers! P.E Num 1 (Public Enemy Number 1) is introduced along with a new weapon (joy!) The rashers are more punishing and even more using the nun-chucks. And that's not all! The massive steel jungle that is Tokyo is introduced. The last of the 7 different tracks in the game, and by far the most ridiculous road-hazard filled nightmare there is in the game!

P.E Num 1: Watch out for this one! A monster out for your blood and not willing to give up the top position easily, expect to be combating this one the entire race upon reaching 2nd!

Tokyo The jungle that has grown into the most densely populated region of technology, traffic, and darkness all wound up into a purple-hued nightmare of a racetrack. This track was MADE with the intent to make you rage, and will be the downfall of many victories! Keep your eyes open, your weapon ready and your thumb on the throttle like a hairpin trigger because you'll be needing to break on these sharp turns. This track is ALSO like the U.K, and traffic goes the opposite direction!

SOME WARNINGS and helpful advice:
1) Watch your money!: Police and your mechanic will sometimes give you a chance to race again if you can't pay off the damages by taking down someone in particular! You must knock them out before the end of the race. You DO NOT need to win, but if you fail to do so you WILL lose!

2) Don't think winning is everything! Play a few maps over a couple times, you'll make more money and prepare yourself for the following level.

3) Sometimes upgrading is better than buying a new bike. Other times you'll want to skip a bike and get a new one for some little boosts like better starting health or nitro!

4) Police choppers CAN drop on you and make you crash, do not stay under them! After a while they'll race ahead and land on the road attempting to crash you there too. When you get the chance take a ramp and land on top of the chopper! Make them crash on YOUR terms!

5) Police cruisers are a pain, if you can't pass them, force them to go into oncoming traffic and smash into another car, THEN go around!

6) Police bikes are slow, but they are persistent! If you pass them and you don't hear the siren keep racing. Make sure you don't hear that siren for at least 10 seconds before crashing or you may just end up seeing that same cop again!

7) Charge weapons (mace/oil/cattle prod) will deplete over time. When you deplete them you drop the empty weapon and can then pick up a new one!

8) Only pick up one weapon from level 1, you can then pick up more powerful weapons from level 2 and 3 such as the Nun-chucks and cattle prod.

9) hit someone off the starting line! You'll have some competition to push you forward the whole game!

10) Never underestimate the traffic. It can be your greatest asset, kick enemy A.I into oncoming cars, police cruisers, signs, anything to get that extra edge!

Good luck out there rashers. Let's see how you handle the adrenaline rush.

What will YOU do to become the next Road Rash champion?

Edit: Some reason the youtube linking didn't work so i just changed them out for normal links to the videos themselves. my apologies guys.

I also have attempted to go back to 2.25, it doesn't work (basically you have a file in your start menu, [use the search box for vizzed] and you can uninstall it there. Then you go to the RgR forum and download the prior one...)

I've been unable to play any games the past few days and I'm getting rather aggravated because i have tried getting some information from the staff and the forums with no luck. I've tried everything suggested to no avail.

I run Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, firefox with the latest CV++ (and installed the version 8 edition that vizzed suggests just in case.) and have had no problems up until this point.


Once i downloaded 2.3 though, EVERYTHING stopped loading.

the window pops up but doesn't load the ROM, then shuts down after 2 hours of doing nothing. i really wish there was some information on what's going on with this, as i really want to get back to playing Road Rash 3!!! :'(
