While playing the emu, try hitting F9. If that doesn't work, edit the pce.ini file so that sound is enabled. [sound] ; ; sound ; -- ; y -> enabled [default] ; n -> disabled ; sound=y Have it so that sound is set to "y." From the pce.ini file, you can configure everything for Magic Engine. If the above tips don't work, a little trial & error with the .ini file is your best bet.

You know Andy, it's schedule to snow tonight and the rest of the weekend here in MD. I say, don't shovel your front door and leave through the rear, that way you'll see their footprints and where they run off too. Or, you can throw a bunch of water in front of the door and let it freeze overnight. When you hear a scream followed by a big thump, you've got your secret elf. Honestly, I think your wife and another accomplice are involved.

Looks like someone made an emoticon for the Robotech and HG License Thread: This is where I keep my stash, help yourselves for now. http://tiger.towson.edu/~kmudd2/macross/smilies

Awesome! It doesn't look like he swallowed an egg anymore.

That's definitely Mimsy. Although it's been a while since I've seen the Japanese language version, I believe her name was pronounced as "Mim-shee."

Lynx7725's post is right on the money with Yamato's SDF-1. Toynami said that they won't make an SDF-1 since they won't be able to sell variants of it.

Amazing! How about some pics of the other modes?

You just did.

Tatu will do anything for money. Their agents are definitely doing their homework.

I don't think this will affect any possible Macross games in the future. IIRC, Bandai commissioned Sega/AM2 to do Macross. If Bandai is willing to foot the bill, I don't see why Sammy would refuse. Everyone loves money. Or, Bandai could find another company willing to make a Macross sequel. Worst case scenario, if Sega is relegated to arcades strictly, wouldn't it be nice to see a new Macross arcade game.

I agree. Irvin Kershner's directing and Leigh Brackett's script made this movie stand out, IMO, from the rest of the films. Unfortunately, Kershner never directed another SW film and Brackett died by the time her script was approx. 90% complete. Lawrence Kasdan was called in to finish it up and went on to script Jedi, which explains it's weak script. All Empire's weak lines I'll attribute to Kasdan.

Anyone got any pics of the Castlevania: Lament of Innocence calendar?

The problem may be that you haven't configured your ini file. In your Magic Engine directory, look for a file called "Pce.ini" Open it up and scroll to the CD ROM settings. It should look like this: # ---- # CD-ROM settings # ---- [cdrom] ; ; CD-ROM drive ; -- ; 0 -> first CD-ROM drive [default] ; 1 -> second CD-ROM drive ; ... ; drive=1 ; ; CD-ROM drive letter ; -- ; (Windows 2000/XP only) ; ; D: ; E: ; ... ; drive_letter=E Make sure the drive and drive letter are properly set. For example, on my pc, I want to use my second CD drive (E), so I set drive to "1" and drive_letter to "E." Hope this helps.

Oh no, don't even try to resurrect that thread!

That's funny. I just received the replacement GU-11 gunpod for my 1/48 Hikaru 1S from Yamato, through HLJ. I was only asking for the gunpod tip (barrel) since someone in the factory totally forgot to place the tip on the gunpod, Yamato sends me a complete gunpod through HLJ. It took them 1 day to reply to my email that they will contact Yamato, 5 days to inform me that Yamato has sent them the parts, 2 days when I received the shipping confirmation, and 20 days for the replacement to arrive through ISAL. I'm glad it worked out for you, but thats another thing I don't like about hlj, it just seems totally random on what kinda service you will get. I fall into the waiting a month for reply, them finally saying that they can aquire the parts, then a month later saying they cannot aquire the parts. It just doesnt make much sense to me. Don't even get me started on their uber shipping selections. The people working at HLJ are only human. Montarvillois probably e-mailed them when they were extremely busy or just got the resident slacker (every corporation's got one!). I'd send multiple e-mails in hopes of getting them at a better time or simply getting the better employee. You may also want to keep an eye out on the Sales and Auctions forums. Once in a while you'll find Yamato's being sold piecemeal for spare parts.

I can't find a single 1/48 Yamato Valk that has depreciated in price at any major seller. Except for the occasional fire-sale on Max, they're all still around $125-135 pre-shipping. H No kidding. Even the 1/60's held onto their value for a while before depreciating.

I say wait. It'll depreciate, just like the majority of the Yamato valks.

Graham still knows much, but each year that passes, Yamato allows him to reveal less and less. I think at first Yamato was seriously trying to really establish themselves with Macross fans, so they let Graham spill the beans on lots of things. Think of it as clever marketing But now that Yamato has fully established themselves with Macross fans worldwide, perhaps they feel they don't have to worry as much about "marketing" as before.

That's another thing I've thought about. By the time a new KoF is done, the programmers have to start working on a new one. I gotta give SNK and SNKP props for churning out Kof annually for nearly the past decade. But I wouldn't mind waiting bi-annually for a KoF if it meant we'd get an even better game.

KoF is changing. 2k3 introduces a full tag mode, ala Marvel vs Capcom. There's a full list of changes somewhere here, and boy are there are radical! I don't think changes will necessarily cause SNKP to lose their fanbase. After all these years, they still have retained a small but dedicated group of fans. If these fans have made it this far, they're not going anywhere. Just think of the Washington Redskins; they've sucked for the past decade, but their fans are the most dedicated in the entire franchise. As for the snails pace of change, it was hard for SNK to implement any radical engine changes due the age of the MVS hardware. For example, this new "tag" mode will result in a slight load time. I'm sure the old SNK had thought about a "tag" option, but were to proud to subject their fans to a load-time in a cartridge game. OTOH, SNKP is starting a new KoF game on Sammy hardware. If successful, this will be the first step towards a whole new age.

How about just deleting the offending post.

Eh, has anyone else noticed that most of the character designs have gone downhill ever since SNK became SNKP? Is that Kyo in a leather biker jacket? I hope my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Yoshi, thank you so much for posting those translations. Indeed, the PC Engine games get little to no recognition, so your translations are worth more than gold to us few fans. As for your grammar, you did an excellent job, I had no problems understanding. Indeed, it's better to post something rather than nothing I think Komilia's birthdate (2019) is "correct" because it's supposed to correspond with the DYRL timeline? In DYRL, Max and Milia don't have any children, so I suppose they could've waited 9 years to have a child. I could be completely wrong, any ideas Yoshi? Oh yeah, MagicEngine is a FANTASTIC emulator! It's the one and only emulator I have ever bought, it's got some sweet options and is nearly perfect. Hmm, MagicEngine's coder is French and so is Yoshi. Hmmm.

Definitely the M&M's! Two years ago, I would've said the VF-1A Cannon Fodder, but given the low 1/60 and 1/55 CF sales (as reported), I don't think Yamato is going to mess with the CF anytime soon.
