What is Digg?74 Comments
- Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -10/+53Does Ubuntu not have a "Caps Lock" function?
- MrSarcasm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29TURNING CAPS LOCK OFF IN UBUNTU - WORKS OUT OF THE BOX WITH FOSS DRIVERS.
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29Digg the article, not the submitter.
- Pie_Man, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17HEY!!!! THIS LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FUN....CAN YOU HEAR ME?!?!?!
- Forever-Zero, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15MAYBE I'LL CATCH THEIR ATTENTION WITH LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS
- sishgupta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12DOSBOX also works in windows allowing users to play many old school games that aren't supported by CMD.exe on windows xp and vista.
- dynacrylic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Seems like an interesting read, but I couldn't finish it because it was poorly written.
No digg, yet no bury.... - Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Digg the articles that shout the loudest.
- mattyice11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That second 'B-A' is unnecessary.
- sworoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You accidentally spelled "THEIR" right, you should replace it with "THERE" and more people will instantly understand what you mean.
- scratched, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You missed the point of his description. He meant technically simple. Classic games were much more challenging than games released today. Today, gaming is targeted to a much wider audience, and as a result, games have to be made easier to play. Old school games involve a lot more skill (in my opinion)
- dudeknt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME!!!!!!
- tehmoth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Next on digg: HOW TO OPEN MICROSOFT OFFICE DOCUMENTS ON UBUNTU or HOW TO DOWNLOAD FILES FROM THE PIRATE BAY ON UBUNTU. Actually I think the latter was already on digg.
- uhdean, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5@sishgupta try command.com instead of cmd.exe. It is the 16-bit version of the command prompt in XP. Not sure about Vista...
- BigBadger, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6SCREEEEAAAMMMING ON THE IIIINTERNEEETS!!
Good article, though. - StealthTomato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's the classic Konami code. It works in most old Konami games.
Also, it's
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, B, A, Select, Start
or just
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, B, A, Start
for 1 player.
Is it sad that I know this without having any games to which the code applies? - scabbers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Do linux users need to be hand-held through the process of downloading an emulator?
PS Dosbox rules. - arugge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I may be an Ubuntu newb but i found 2 NES and SNES emulators in there Add / Remove programs section.
- DDRRE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3dude.
An article on how to install DosBOX? come on.
OMFG UBUNTU COMMANDS THIS IS HELP FOR LINUX NEWBIES AND NOT JUST A REGULAR GUIDE - adikt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Contra
- joper90, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ubuntu has mouse support..
i mean ffs... how lame. and bury'd as such. - repruhsent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yes. Yes, they do.
- BigSlacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What does Ubuntu have to do with this? It doesn't work on other OSes? Are we going to have "Editing a file on Ubuntu" next?
- firemaker103, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://mupen64.emulation64.com/
- SatNav, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5meh.. not much info in that article, nothing that anyone geeky enough to try out linux couldn't figure out themselves. how about at least mentioning wine, or scummvm. blatantly only got as many diggs as it has because of the words 'Games' and 'Ubuntu' in the title.
- bllambert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There is no classic gaming without scummvm in my opinion. Day of the Tentacle should be played annually. It works just as well in linux as it does in Windows.
- ClayDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ummm.... I somehow remember this combo... But my memories fail me... Could someone PLEASE tell me the name of the game?
Oh yes, and digg me down if you must. :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Obviously they do if they are Ubuntu users
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3wow it's 1997 all over again. By that I mean making emulation into somthing.
Do Ubuntu users corner the market on ***** lame or what? - MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://everyvideogame.com/ does even more.
- repruhsent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ROFL, thank you for the laugh, good sir.
- l34NDl20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.xe-emulator.com/ - Works great.
- ChumpChief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, I dugg it because it tells me how to play Alleycat again... God I miss that game.
//not using Ubuntu now, but this might convince me to switch - strabes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mupen64 is an amazing emulator. Super smash anyone?
- robdiggity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.virtualnes.com/ pretty much does the job for any OS.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1www.freeroms.com
The games use the same emulator... they have most games.
Anyone have a good link to a Apple IIe emulator and games? I once had an emulator that had every game, 200+ megabytes worth... but I was a moron and backed it up on a 250mb zip disk, then lost it all when I had to reformat my drive... - scabbers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1NesterDC SE for dreamcast... better than the real thing!
- GamingLab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1or you could play a game which you CAN'T play on a $30 console.
http://wine.getcontinuum.com/ - psylence, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Amen, it looks like stuff stolen from forums and barfed onto the "blog" for ad hits, along with an s/Linux/UBUNUTU/ for good measure.
Oh wait, this is digg right? That's _exactly_ what it is. - vagarach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No its command.com in the older windows versions. The one in xp just appears to be a dos prompt, it's more an emulator of command.com than anything else.
- Phantom784, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One emulator this article failed to mention is MAME. MAME lets you play classic arcade games on your computer. http://my.opera.com/Mr%20Green/blog/show.dml/171040 (no, this isn't my blog, just the first google result for "ubuntu mame")
- reed311, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ok, so we've had an article for every single thing that Ubuntu can do. Maybe the next article will show us how to double-click on an icon.
- Arctirus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2buried for caps.
- fuckingmorons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Buried. zsnes, snes9x, NESticle, etc. And yes, plenty of "newbies" know of these emulators. MAME is a great emulator.
- fuckingusername, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Im still play how to get my wireless to work game.......
- adikt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Had to break out my magnifying glass for that website.
- stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2OK, this time I'm going to show you how to double-click in UBUNUNUNUTU. First, find an item you would like to double-click. This is any item in a folder or on your desktop. It can include documents, programs, documents, music, images, or documents. To double click, drag your mouse along the desk until the pointer on your screen is over the item you want to double click. Now, this is the hard part. Click on the object once, then click it once again. Make sure you do this rapidly enough!
If you did this properly, your document/program/whatever should now be opening! HOORAY! - sark666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1 I still want a good commodore 64 emu on linux. And yes there is vice, but last I tried it's video modes were so weird it's hard to get any type of full screen emulation.
- Anonymous3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0While the MAME project is for the arcade stuff, you also have the MESS project where you'll find your console stuff (its basically the sister project of MAME if you didn't know).
It's a pity MESS isn't overly stellar in being nice for me, but still its freaking amazing to have all the possibilities sitting there as to what games I can play again with it...
http://www.mess.org/sysinfo.html - jake3988, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ZSNES is the king of all emulators, I'd recommend it. Conservely i have to yet to find a single decent emulator for any other system.
FCEU is absolutely atrocious. You can't configure it, any the key associations are awful. I've tried a few more and most are the same way.
Oh, yeah, and I recommend dosbox too. I love it. -
