A: You need to own a copy of Dink Smallwood on CD (available from RTSoft at www.rtsoft.com). There is a folder on your DINK CD called "develop". Copy everything from this folder into your main Dink directory. That's it! The map editor is called DINKEDIT.EXE. I'd recommend downloading DinkRun (mine) or CreatedWorlds (Silencer's) as a front-end for running DinkEdit. NEW: I have created a D-Mod Skeleton which is the shell of a D-Mod you can simply UNZIP into a Dink subdirectory of your choice.

No. The "Swap Trick" involves removing and replacing spinning disks to try to "fool" the PlayStation into booting an Import or backup game. The "Swap Trick" is potentially dangerous to the PlayStation motor as well as unreliable. To boot an import or backup with the PS-X-Change Boot CD , all you have to do is insert the PS-X-Change Boot CD , wait for the PSX motor to stop spinning, replace the disc with an import or backup then Press START.

A: This kind of depends on your personal talent, and how dedicated you want to be in learning how. Dink-C might carry over the same basic style as the C programming language, but it's very different and much easier. It's more of a scripting language than a programming language. Having programming experience is a big plus, especially if it's in C, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary if you read through TUT1.

Yes there are. EasyBuy2000 offers external Neo Keys and several other plug-n-play devices. No soldering required.

A router enables you to connect several devices (eg. 2 PCs, or a PC and a PS2) to your broadband line. In the case of BT Yahoo! Broadband for PS2 network gaming, it is used to connect your broadband line permanently to both your PS2 and your home computer (if you have one). It contains a firewall to help keep your data and privacy safe from Internet hackers and data thieves.

We do full system tape back ups every night. It saves all of your information up to the day, onto a tape that is taken off premises and stored securely.

There advertisements are false. Currently the Neo 2 is the best solution available. If there was a better chip out there, we would sell it ourselves.

NO. Most of the time reliable emulation requires a system many times more powerful then the console you're trying to emulate. The Xbox just isn't fast enough to emulate PS2- on top of that PS2 is not easy to program for.

A: Well, after making sure you copied the development folder off your CD into your main Dink directory, you need to make a subdirectory for your D-Mod. Under your main Dink directory, make a folder (directory) to store your D-Mod files. For instance, my main Dink directory is C:\DINK\ so I made a folder under this called SCAROFD and ended up with C:\DINK\SCAROFD\ to begin my Scar of David D-Mod.

A: When I wanted to put pictures of Dink's Doppelganger on my web site, I tried and tried to make it work but I couldn't. Finally, I found an EASY (and probably the best) way to do it. While playing the game (or while in the map editor) get to the screen you want to capture. Then, simply hit the <print-screen> key on your keyboard. Nothing visible will happen, but the current screen will be copied to your clipboard.

A: If you have WinZip, I believe the task is easier. There is also a tool for winzip to make self-extracting EXE's out of a ZIP file. There is a similar tool for PKZIP DOS but it doesn't automate the installation. Anyway, I use PKZIP 2.04G for DOS, and I created a batch file called M.BAT. I put this file in my D-Mod directory. Then, I run a dos-prompt and change into my D-Mod directory. From there, I just type M.BAT <enter> and it does it! M.BAT contains: pkzip dmodname.zip *.

how do u get ozx memory to recognize my usb memory stick. i have a sandisk 256 and ozx say "NO FatX at drive" If your mem stick isn't formatted as FATX, then you need to start up your XBox to Microsoft's dashboard and insert your memstick. THe Dashboard will say the disk has been damaged and has been reformated. BE ADVISED: all of your data previously on your mem stick WILL be gone! I don't know about the 2004 Holiday Bundle, but most of the 2003 Holiday Bundles XBoxes *should* be v1.

An inexperienced U.S., Canadian or European company might think that going direct to a Asian manufacturer would result in a lower price than that which they could get working with MTG Imports. However, many of our best customers have tried going direct in the past. The following array of mind-boggling challenges are just some of the stumbling blocks to successful overseas production that eventually brought them to us. The Language Barrier is a powerful impediment.

I have heard that it is possible to download Emus and Romz (snes, nes, sega, and on) and play them in xbox linux, now, is it possible to play PS2 games on a xbox running Linux? that is download the emulator and play ps2 from linux? I have heard it is possible but i have never seen it though. Emulators are for old generation games like GameBoy, Sega Genesis, NES, Super NES, N64, and the like. There isn't a good PS2 emulator available for a high end DESKTOP computer with a 2.

Your PS2's network configuration settings are stored on the card so that you don't have to enter them every time you want to play PS network gaming.

Yes. In order to boot a game using HDLoader, you must insert the HDLoader disc and then launch the game from the GUI.

The Xbox CAN play PS1, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive\Genesis, etc. These are commonly referred to as 'Roms'

No, some software was attemted to be developed to allow this some time back but limitations of the PS2 determined this was not possible.

There have been scattered reports that many PS2 games aren't working properly with the PlayStation 3 in Japan, but firmware updates are being produced to alleviate these issues. Ultimately Sony's goal is 100% backwards compatibility, although we haven't yet seen a running compatibility list.
