It's all down to timing.
Switch the console on with backup disc in the drive,
wait for the Sega Saturn logo to assembly, laser will make a noise.
Quickly now replace the disc with the original disc.
The console will read the disc, then when the laser makes the above noise again swap the disc with the backup.
And if all's went well it will load up the game.
If it's went wrong you will be back at the dashboard, or you'll be hung on the SEGA screen.
You have to patch all backups to the region of the console, though.
If you forget you get a coaster.
Insert your local CD.
Remove the local CD when the motor changes to 2x and replace it with your foreign CD. [If you did this right, you *SHOULD* see the black PS screen now.]
Watch and listen to the CD motor. It will slow down and then speed back up to 2x. After a few seconds, the CD motor will slow down again. Replace with your local CD once again.
After another half second or so, the local CD will speed up again. Finally replace your foreign CD.
you need good ears for the psx.
Well, if you are good at timing and your ears work then it'll be no problem.Quote:

So I'm pretty much saying fuck it all to everything and starting again after 9 months of doing not much.
Interesting. What subjects are you doing?Quote:

Do high school IT if you're looking for an easy mark, not if you're looking for good education. Maybe it's different where you're from, but any IT short of TAFE and Uni always rang kinda hollow when I was doing school. Admittedly, I never did SACE but that's also the impression I got from my HS graduate friends and my knowledge of IT before year 11 and 12.Quote:

I learnt quickly that I could bludge pretty much the whole lesson, and just do the shit at home in 15 minutes. Which is what I did.:XD:
Cute.Quote:

I'm not saying that IT is a bad subject (hell, it's head and shoulders above business maths), just that it ain't exactly a hard course to do well in. Beyond HS, IT is a little bit harder. Not by much, but it is a step up if you do any work beyond SACE bludge level. It doesn't get intellectually taxing until you hit diploma level TAFE or degree-type Uni courses.Quote:

If by that you mean use myspace, then yes.Quote:

I'd like to consider todays students above that, but I'm an expert in self-delusion.
Meh, Myspace: biggest waste of time ever created.Quote:

Futuristic Sex Robotz - [Hotel Coral Essex #03] Back In The Day
This song is about a life that would have been rad.
NES at the Shack is how I first got down,
Pops got a job, moved the fam to Sea-town,
Checkin' BBS's for my warez and porn,
Around this time the mafia was born,
Spendin' mad hours getting buff in LORD,
Get with the tavern ho, show off my long sword,
Couple years later, hit the Hotline scene,
Waitin' in queue is where I've never been seen,
Got hooked up with fat accounts,
Get my shit fast and in large amounts,
Use my Cyrix chip to cook my meals,
Laugh all you want, I'll own yo' ass at Whacky Wheels,
Got my emulators and a couple thousand ROMs
And all the F-Kiss from blah blah dot com,
Now we got Torrents and bandwidth up to our necks,
Looking back's crazy, but I wonder what's next.
(CHORUS x2)
[All:]
Back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe,
Banner ads, gettin' paid, ICQ, gettin' laid,
Back in the day, we knew Sulu was gay,
Munchin' numbers, runnin' lodes, monochrome displays.
[Coaxke:]
Back in the day, System 7.5,
Had HyperCard stacks on my SyQuest drive,
Once I got a modem I was never fuckin' bored,
Always dialin' up a BBS to play me some LORD,
I stole my school's dial-up to get the internet,
Had a copy of Ircle and no regrets,
Chillin' in #macfilez, leechin' on bots,
It took nine years to get a download spot,
Hours and hours, makin' Marathon maps,
Always on the run 'cuz I set it to caps,
Eventually I got a brand new Power Mac,
So fuckin' fast, I almost had a heart attack,
Ran a Hotline server on my school's T1,
"Win Ben Stein's Warez" was the name of that one,
Quake 3 Test in the computer lab,
Never went to class 'cuz that shit was a drag.
(CHORUS x2)
[Subrandom:]
Back in the day, cruisin' through the DOS prompt,
A litte modem action I got anything I want,
Blake Stone or some Duke 3D,
IPX LAN, don't fuck with me,
Back in the day we had four buttons man,
Gravis GamePad 'til we lost our tan,
ZZT, where I made my first game,
Shit was mad hot 'til Click-n-Play came,
Up in the attic, it's Jumpin Flash,
All day long 'til a PlayStation crash,
Pirated Thrill Kill, what a waste of time,
Now I get why they trashed that crime,
We got nerd history, stories for days,
Spit it how I lived it 'til this shit pays,
So back up off if you question the cred,
OG nerds, we'll cut off your head.
[PC Speaker:]
Yo, back in the day, shit was the best,
I pirated Duke Nukem off a BBS,
A pimp with a 486 dx, deuce,
Double piped to increase my juice,
Halloween Harry and Commander Keen,
Nowadays, it seems like a wonderful dream,
Up in school, I'm on the LC 2s,
Used the backdoor to drop right outta Foolproof,
Then one day, there was the internet,
And anything I wanted, I could easily get,
Anytime I wanted A-double-P-Z,
Just connect to H-O-T-L-I-N-E,
Click the banner, fourth word, seventh line,
Log in and anything I wanted was mine,
I started up a server called "Industrial Strength,"
And got sued by the R-I-double-A,
But I was born into a new world of computers,
And we became a generation of looters,
But I said it before, and I'll say it again,
It's like bein' high just rememberin'.
(Repeat CHORUS x5)
