It's a meeee, Masterio! ;)
Yeah, I know, I wasn't here or at any emulation related (big) boards for a long time, because I really hadn't time and my live changed a lot lately.
But now, a new year, without gf and only a few things to do till September I wanted to say I'm back this time for real, not just to write something on my board.
I will visit all the interesting projects more regularly, test and post bugs and tell you on this place about interesting projects.

For the next few weeks I want to return to my retexture pack first and support the N64 emulation Texture-Replacement Wiki and the new central location for N64 texture-replacement projects called N64ReduX. If you are interested in N64 texture replacement projects or want to create one yourself, visit this sites and help to enhance and improve it!

It would be a great way to revive the N64 texture enhancement community, because a team formed by Aristotle is ironing out the remaining bugs and adding new features from the incredible Glide64 plugin to the great Rice Video Plugin, the first ever, that supported texture replacements. You can see the informations and add ideas here and that's the new googlecode page for the project. Can't wait to see, what for new features will come!

Next stop, a great new side project for me: Alpha testing and helping to improve Frets on Fire X!
It's a wonderful Guitar Hero/Rock Band Clone, with great features and ideas.
Just a few impression:


Yeah, you won't believe it, but it's all on PC! With support for a lot different Multiplayer modes, themes and the best thing: support for all the original songs! Try it, you won't believe, how great it is!

That's it for now, next post will about how to use FoFiX on the python 2.6 environment and some other informations... we'll see!

See you on this place

Regards, the Master

What I'm doing atm...
Yeah, I know, you all missed me a lot.
That's why I am back... some kind of. Because I have a lot important test the next time, so that means, that I won't have that much time to work on my projects, but I found some time to get the site redesigned, with a great tool called Psycho

It's easy to use and I didn't need to use one of the standard designs or code the html myself. Nice stuff, really. You should try it yourself.

More to add? Nope... no time... have to learn.
Read you later.

Totally forget about another finished project: WiiStar 1.1

Yeah, totally forget to telll you all about another finished project of mine: it's called WiiStar and a Skin for the Great UltraStar Deluxe Project!

You probably don't know what UltraStar Deluxe is? Well, it is the best free Singstar clone for your PC with dozens of great functions, like a 6 player party mode, own skin system, support for all the Original Singstar PS2 songs and videos and many more stuff to play with! You can create your own songs and sing them with your friends, too!
It brought a lot of fun to my friends, but I always dislike the theme... I downloaded some new themes, but they were boring some matches later aswell. So I decided, that I need a skin or a theme, that fits my needs also some weeks and a lot matches later and only ONE design came into my mind: the Nintendo WII Design...
I really like the Miis and all these white monitors and that stuff, so I thought, why not recreate it into Ulead Photo Impact? Said... and some weeks later done.

Here's the result:




 

Then I also found the time to work on the VBA-M documentation and even if I lost all of the old files, it seems to be looking better and better and the content is better aswell! :)
I also found out, that my friend mudlord also has a blog in this place, if you like to visit his blog, you can do it here!
That's it for today... will say hello again, after finishing my black Wii Skin, my VBA-M documentation, my texture pack collection or anything like that.

Finished my first project this year!
Yeah, first project this year is finished!

I've created a PR Video for the biggest S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadows of Chernobyl and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky Community site in Europe: Oblivion-Lost.

Took me nearly 8 hours for complete recutting, syncing and video creating. Sadly it's only a German version, because we hadn't the time to create a English version, sorry for that!
If someone is interested, you can watch the Ultra low quality trailer at Youtube (I don't like Youtube, such a f*cking bad quality) and download the HQ 720p version here!

Hope you like it! I'm a newly graduated news poster and media freak there, so probably you'll give it a view! We also have a English section, where you will be informed about all new Stalker related stuff! In the next few weeks I will also work on my unlimited weight fix for Patch 1.0005 again, but it's a lot more work than the first 4 fixes! I think till I've finished it, there will be 1.0006 already! ;)

Next stop is my Emutalk Texture Pack Collection, because I've lost my working folder of my VBA-M doc and had to redo all stuff from the beginning! But I think it's better now, but a lil bit on hold, till the Emutalk thread is finished (the content, not the reworking!?)!

So see you soon!

2007's gone and 2008 is there!
Came back from holidays yesterday and thought I should wish you all a great new year and all the best for all of you!

I've read, that two of my fav seriens won't get an additional season this year, so I already know, this year doen's start that nice.

But the days beetween X-Mas and the new years were really great, because I visited a friend of mine 300km away and it was very funny and we drunk a lot... really a lot! ^^

At the 7th of January I have to go back to university and then I will also have some more time to work on my projects! Wasn't online for the last few days, because I had to do a lot in RL!

Read you soon on this webplace!

HAPPY X-Mas to all visitors&their families!
Best wishes MasterPhW

Started my blog and also had some great news to start with!
Yeah, a big headline for my first blog entry!
But who cares, it's my blog, so I can do what I want!
Today I've started my little blog about emulation related stuff, my projects and all my other interests.
I know, it still looks very generally, but I will change it soon, I just have to find some time to do so!
Just a Bloggers standard artwork to start with!
But I also want to begin this first entry with a nice news about one of my emulation related projects.
I helped mudlord in collecting all the different sources of nearly all Visual Boy Advance forks to merge them with the official source, into an integrated, all-in-one version of VBA, called VBA-M.
Here is the website and if you are an interested dev, you can also check the SVN!
NGemu and GeneralEmu already posted news about it and I hope it helps in providing more infos about this project and get some people interested!
Atm I am creating a little help file for this project, because it's a good way to continue to contribute to this project!
A little artwork of this project.

Hope you like it!
Okay, that's it for my first entry!

See you soon, same place, same time, different topic!
