I had a feeling that they would go after the chip makers, but it is a little late for that, haha. Nowadays consoles are modded using custom firmware. Too bad for the feds, they're always a day late and a buck short. They can try to stop pirates but they can't stop their success  :twisted:

Good to see that government agencies are spending time and resources to "protect" us (large companies).

Yes, thats right. Apparently they have discovered if you use the Emotion Engine from the PS2 with a Metal Gear Solid disc, you can launch a nuclear missile at any location in the world.

If I remember correctly, one of the reports at the time also mentioned Iraq/Saddam Hussein. The genius story said most people don't realize that the PS2 is so sophisticated that it's almost like a real computer and as such could possibly be used to launch nuclear missiles.

A freakin' Game and Watch could be used to launch nuclear missiles.  Launching the missiles does not require super-jagged polygon rendering power.

even a double screen zelda game and watch?

The double screen Zelda Game and Watch could launch a nuke and AT THE SAME TIME run your sprinklers.
Title: Re: Frederal Agents Go Afther Gaming Pirates
Post by: Kitsunexus on August 07, 2007, 05:15:13 PM
The above is sarcasm, but since you could launch a nuke with one pulse, and turn on sprinklers with another, this is theoretically possible, since even the most basic processor should be able to send to pulses out at once.

The Sega CD can't.  If it is sending the data to the Genesis telling it to launch the nuke, it has to wait until the Genesis has the data before it can process the instruction to turn on the sprinklers.  You do NOT want the Sega CD in charge of national defense and the white house lawn.

If I am not mistaken, the internal auditors at command central (in Iraq) have been using an application built around the SegaCD to track the allocation of supplies and weapons. Perhaps they should have built their logistics program around the venerable 32X platform...

The 32X really is a powerful machine.  Not only can it launch a nuke and water your lawn, but it can also control your heating/AC and open your garage door... ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

Pshh.. so can the Colecovision.


And also, you don't need the 32x, a stock Genesis will do. They don't call it "Blast Processing" for nothing...

The U.S. Army is not going to settle for a stock Genesis. Only 32X will do. Period.

You know what time it is...yo homey! PEEP THIS!

Tempo, check it out you know 

He makes it funky, and he's good to go.

He's a sweet thang, catch the groove-

New York, L.A., and San Francisco.

 

Tempo's in the house tonight.

You know he's gonna move your mind, 

The grove is outta sight (the groove is outta sight), 

Funky as ya wanna be.
