I want to experience some of the great SNES games I hear everyone talking about, but I need some advice. Should I buy a original SNES and game cartridges or should I buy a Wii U and play them through the Virtual Console?
Get one of the newer SNES retreads with the exact same controllers and the ability to play NES games, too. Some of them even play Genesis and Super Famicom games, like the FC Twin. I also think that you use composite cables to hook them up to your TV instead of the old-school adapter, which can be a little more convenient.
Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are going to cost you a bunch; if you want the true experience go SNES but it's going to cost you a lot in the long run.
Also DONT MASS BUY GAMES for the "NEW" Console. Buy em when you can find em cheap and you actually plan to play them. I have 30 N64 Games on my shelf that I barely touched that I purchased within the last 6 months. eBay is addictive.
Well, considering that the Wii U doesn't have the virtual console yet... I'd say get a wii. The VC on that should suffice
The trouble with the SNES is that you'll likely be buying one used, and while hardware malfunctions weren't as bad then as they are now, it's still been a very long time and it's an old system. It's simply not as reliable as a brand new Wii/WiiU would be. In addition to that, the original cartridges for some games might cost just as much as a Wii, some approaching the cost of the WiiU. Not to mention they're difficult to find.
Then again, those games aren't even likely to be on the Wii, and definitely aren't on the WiiU yet. I guess it comes down to what you want to play. Make a list and cross reference it with the WiiShop's Virtual Console. See what you'd be looking at spending that way, and vice versa.
Think about the future too. WiiU will almost certainly be getting the bigger SNES games that are available on the Wii, eventually. Plus, if you go that route you're sort of 'future-proofing' yourself for Nintendo consoles. You won't have to make any 'big' investments with Nintendo for some time.
Get an emulator and a 360 controller.
If you must pay for the games, then get a a Wii or Wii U, buy what you want off of the Virtual Console, then get an emulator and play what isn't on the virtual console.

@Turambar:@avidwriter: I've looked up prices on ebay and decide to keep it simple. I'll start with Zelda and Super Metroid which both run for about for 25 to 30 dollars.
For the "inexpensive" route with a SNES, might I suggest the following (in no particular order):
(Note: All prices subject to be different wherever you look. These are what I was finding them for)
Super Mario World - $15-20
Link to the Past - $20
Mega Man X - $18
Super Mario Kart - $20-25
Yoshi's Island - $20-25
DKC 1 (or 2): ~$20
I could go on, but that's my opinion for starters. Amazon is a good place, but I'd say they're more the high end of pricing. If you stake out Ebay, you can find some awesome deals or a lot of games (like $100 for 10-15 games).
The hardware should be able to hold up well (just look it over when you get it), and the carts clean up well with rubbing alcohol, or some Brasso if you need to break out the big guns and clean off a ton of gunk. I've been using the SNES from my days as an anklebiter, and that's going on 20 years old now. Just don't put in any new games without cleaning em first (keeps from contaminating the connector), and you oughta be fine.
VC is nice if you'd rather save some money, but there is something about using the original article (to me anyway - this is all preference).
Hope it helps!
SNES and a CRT television. Everything feels off on an LCD and some games look funny. I was mysteriously missing tons of bonus damage timed button presses on Super Mario RPG. As soon as I got out an old tube TV it all went away. Check Ebay auctions, you can get SNESs quite cheap. I got mine for $40 with a copy of Super Mario World and mine is in perfect shape. Using an emulator just doesn't cut it. You can't see the framerate drops in Super Mario World (they are there. I was shocked when I saw them. Mostly in Donut Plains levels).
Edit: Just watch for prices on games. Some places charge a lot more than others. A lot of the pricing is based on condition. I paid $5 more for a copy of Super Mario RPG that was mint over one with a nick in the label, but that is worth it for me because I collect old games and want them in good shape. You can get most of the staple games for $20-30. LTTP sometimes goes for $35 and Yoshi's Island varies because it isn't as common. Once you get into the more rare stuff it goes up fast. It will be nigh impossible to get Super Mario RPG for less than at least $60 (I got mine for $70 but mine is mint. There were cheaper copies available).
And yeah, bust out rubbing alcohol for the connector thingies. My copy of Zelda: A Link to the Past straight up didn't work before I took a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to it. Now it works perfectly.
Playing through VC is much easier and less of a headache, but if you have the ability definitely get a SNES and a CRT tv.
I would just get them on the Wii U if you can, much less hassle and more convienant. Especially considering you would have to chase down an old system and it's games which may or may not work properly after all these years.
I lol'd at the thread title because I thought this was going to be 'Nintendo were so much better back in the day, the SNES is way better than the Wii U' but you have my gratitude you didn't go there.
I've always been one for playing on the original hardware with the original controller as thats how it was played back in the day and if you're going back play it how it was do exactly that and have the same experience, so yeah, get a SNES.
@jap_2002: Batteries in a SNES cartridge? Unless theres some really obscure FX Chip game I'm forgetting the SNES didn't have them. The NES did with Zelda, maybe thats what you're thinking of?
@Canteu said:
Get a PC.
It comes with a built in snes.
Well, if you have the money and the love for nostalgia, then by all means get the Super NES.
WiiU because it's not an old system and because it has better games, and it has more games (if you count VC), has better controller, and can play Wii games, and has off-TV play for some WiiU games, and the controller can be used wirelessly, and the system is white and not yellow
Totally replaceable (lots of how-tos online)I could probably look it up somewhere else, but are the batteries in the snes cartridges replaceable?
If the Wii U gets better Virtual console support I think it would be a good choice, but it may not have DCK 1, 2, or 3 still...
So if you are only planing on playing SNES games? SNES is the better one. If you want to play future, potentially awesome Nintendo titles, grab the Wii U.

Chainsaw is a symbol for a lot of people as a sign of dread (considering the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise), however, the folks at Grasshopper decided that an 18 year old blonde cheerleader with a chainsaw in hand would be a better ass-kicker than Leatherface on any given day and they get it right, though, not completely.

Here's a simplified version of my problem:
I have lots of articles in a table. Say, 10,000 rows. About once a week 5-10 of the values of the ArticleAuthor column [Nvarchar(255)] get overwritten with the same data - all from another article.
The code is actaully really huge and old and it's proved tough to find the offending process.
I'm thinking I might put a temporary trigger on the table to log when it gets updated etc and work from there.
Anyone got any better ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know what to say about this film. Rumor has it that Whoopi Goldberg didn't actually want any part of it, finally accepted for $7 million. It's a horrific mess of a movie. It starts with an opening crawl and narration that tells us "Once upon a time in the future..." already it's losing me. "At midnight tomorrow..." Wait a minute. The future is midnight tomorrow? Or am ... whatever. It then tells us the plot of the film, even revealing the villain, which I think was supposed to be a twist, but we're told his entire plan.

Every now and then I sit down and intentionally watch a bad movie to warn readers if it worth your time for the comedic values or just plain awful. Theodore Rex… More
Every now and then I sit down and intentionally watch a bad movie to warn readers if it worth your time for the comedic values or just plain awful. Theodore Rex falls into the just plain awful category and one of the most bizarre movies Hollywood ever made.
In order to fully get through this movie you'll need a six pack of your favorite beer hoping you won't have to drink any. The premise of Theodore Rex is idiotic with no potential that it should be viewed with low expectations. It starts with a bad text crawl which alone should indicates you're not going to watch anything good and explains the villain plans, which is a good thing since the actor who plays the villain can't speak clearly. When you're watching a movie about a talking T-Rex (the title is both a bad pun and the main character name) who's a detective solving crime in the future, you'll need drink alone. With the premise out of the way, you'll get an opening that both confusing and annoying, which involves a man killing a dinosaur with a Butterfly which blows up to reveal it was a dream. The movie gets even more over the top, which I thought couldn't be possible as you'll learn that dinosaurs have physic powers. At this point I'm barely at the beginning at the movie and already drank two beers, which I then decided to throw one beer can away to guarantee I wouldn't get my stomach pump. Unfortunately Theodore Rex didn't make that easy as the humor in this movie relies too much on Theodore knocking things over with his tail and eating cookies and are a frequent running gag. Although one unintentional laugh comes from the scene where Theodore and with his partner Coltrane (played Whoopi Goldberg) go to see a dinosaur dead body which just happened to be a museum.
To avoid being lengthy and too detailed because Theodore Rex doesn't that kind of that of time, I'm going to write about certain scenes. Like how a dinosaur bar scene that looks like something you would see if you got drunk (which unfortunately I wasn't while drinking), and has a Molly Rex eating flowers which Theodore gave to her. Also, you'll be asking this too, why did the villain henchman destroyed Theodore car and then threw Custer pies at him? Which I have to honest is the only thing normal in this bizarre mess. The same could said about the dialogue as the commissioner actually says to Goldberg she embarrassed the force, were the writers drunk and forget that they were writing a movie about a talking T-Rex solving crime in the future. To date, this is the only movie I know off where you can hear a dinosaur say "Cookie, cookie, cookie" and "It's a hairy hotdog", which is really pathetic. I have to mention this one scene in the Toymaker warehouse where you'll see Goldberg, a T-Rex, a finger puppet, and hairy hotdog that turns into a butterfly. This was the point where I had nothing more drink, so I kept watching which clearly was a bad decision. In that same warehouse the Toymaker blows up his building and doesn't exit the building. I will give Theodore Rex some credit for having a story that manages to get worse the longer it goes. Now having watched this and over a hundred movies, this has the most anti-climactic climax I've ever seen as Theodore stops a doomsday device with a push of a button. Worst writing ever in a movie ever? Definitely much better than most of the bad movies I've seen.
As for everything else, you should also have low expectations. The animatronics make the special effects and roaring shark from Jaws 4 The Revenge look realistic. These animatronics are cheap and have very noticeable bad lip movements; it also doesn't help the movie when you a have T-Rex flying the air making bird sounds. With all the bad negative about animatronics out the way, the only positive is that the dinosaurs weren't CGI which in my opinion is a welcome in a time were CGI are in to many movies. The same goes for the acting which ranges from bad, super bad, so bad I have no idea what you're saying, did I really just see a dinosaur singing bad, and finally, what were the cast thinking saying yes to this movie bad. One odd thing about this movie is that this is the second time I see Richard Roundtree in a very poorly written movie. The editing is a mess as well, especially when two scenes keep going back and forth when they have no connection to each other. This movie manages to get everything wrong, but considering what I've seen in the past, including De Lift a horror movie about a killer elevator, you could do worse.
Theodore Rex is movie is a weirdly imaginative mess that truly does makes you wonder how this ever got made. While Theodore Rex is certainly not one the worst movies ever made, it comes pretty close to being one of the worst.

To quote comic book guy: "Worst. Movie. Ever." Who would ever think this was a good idea??

Initially funded on little more than an explanation and a request, an educational loan program for impoverished young people looks to be transforming the lives of tens of thousands around the globe.
By the end of this year, the program, known to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Perpetual Education Fund, will have made 24,000 loans at an average of $860 each to disadvantaged Latter-day Saints, using only the interest earnings from the fund.
The program's genesis?
Latter-day Saints believe it was inspiration from God.
President Gordon B. Hinckley, who will preside at the 175th Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend, was the catalyst for the loan program.
He announced its formation during a similar conference on March 31, 2001, telling Latter-day Saints that it "entails no new organization, no new personnel except a volunteer director and secretary. It will cost essentially nothing to administer."
He then invited Latter-day Saints and others to contribute, noting the fund would continue in perpetuity because it would loan only the interest generated on what he projected would be a continually growing principal.
"We shall begin modestly, commencing this fall. We can envision the time when this program will benefit a very substantial number."
Elder John K. Carmack, who administers the fund for the church, believes those words were prophetic.
The fund provided a relative handful of loans in 2001, but the numbers have grown exponentially ever since, he said. By the end of 2005, he anticipates 24,000 loans will have been approved for young Latter-day Saints in nearly three dozen nations.
Recipients are scattered throughout Mexico, Central and South America, the Philippines, the Caribbean, Cambodia, Mongolia and India, with plans to expand into west Africa, central Europe, Russia, Tonga, Samoa and Fiji, Elder Carmack said.
Applicants work through local LDS seminary and institute personnel, who provide the oversight, screening and support for the program, in addition to their regular teaching assignments. Applications are forwarded to Salt Lake City, where a loan committee meets twice monthly to discuss approval. Loan money to pay for tuition and books is then sent directly to the college or training facility the applicant will attend.
Applicants must be certified by local church leaders as active and worthy church members, "just as if they were going on a mission. The bishop decides whether the person is a worthy and active member that we should consider," and LDS Institute personnel must also certify that applicants are actively participating in religion classes.
Elder Carmack said the program "basically brings more justice and unity into the church and among the members, where those who have help those who have not." He declined to talk about how much money is in the fund, or how much is added to it annually, but Elder Carmack said the fund continues to attract "tremendous donations. So far, it's keeping up with our need."
Even without official figures, the math is impressive: With 24,000 loans at an average of $860 each, estimates are the church has lent roughly $20 million to disadvantaged Latter-day Saints, using only earnings from the fund.
Most of the money comes from church members in wards and branches throughout the world, and hundreds of thousands of people have contributed to date, he said.
Loan recipients must have a viable career goal, determined in conjunction with local LDS employment resource center personnel, and meet the admission requirements to an approved training program. Most of the loans are given for education in vocation and technical skills, but a few have been approved for applicants entering dental, medical or legal training programs.

Didel has completed much of the update of their web site. You might check it out at http://www.didel.com.
There are a number of new items that have been available for a few weeks, but have not been on the web site. Here are some of the more significant additions. Multiple ratio gear drive kits. These are available for 4mm through 10mm (M20) size motors and come with an assortment of gears to allow configuring the same gearbox for a variety of gear ratios. Gear assortment kit, which contains 16 pinions and gears for building gearboxes. New gears include the 81t spur gear which with the new 9t pinions allow a 9:1 single stage gear ratio. There is a new 4mm diameter pager motor that is 8mm long, in addition to the 12mm long motor that is still available. There is a molded CF prop blade set that can be cut down to the desired diameter and shape. There is a new prop adapter that has 1.2mm holes molded to accept the commonly available Wes 1.2mm (1.3mm listed size) CF rods for inserting adjustable prop blades into the hub. There may be a few other additions, but that is basically it. Ball-Bearing gearboxes are no longer supported. Instead brass bearings, which are now standardized with 1mm bore are now used exclusively. The 1mm bore brass bearings are available separately and when used with 1mm piano wire will allow the construction of your own gearboxes if you want to. The two key pages to look at (from their Slow Flyer page) are "gears, motors, etc. price-list" and "gear boxes", which have links and are in red. Gordon |
