dmxratedYesterday, I came across an Ebay auction for a PC-FX with all games ever released for it. However, the price was $100 plus $25 for shipping and handling. Mom told me that I only have $150 left in my bank account. She said that we'll talk about buying it before the auction ends. However, later on, she suggested that this might be a scam, and that I should check that person's feedback history. He only had seven positive feedbacks and one negative feedback. Mom said that this really wouldn't be a good idea, especially what with how little I have left in my bank account. I tend to agree with that, because it's hard to believe that anyone would have every single game for a Japan-only console, especially since a lot of them are hard to find on Ebay. Well, I need to learn how to run MMZ on an ISO anyway if I'm going to be writing a translation patch for it, so it would be better to let this auction go.
I downloaded some software called Daemon Tools yesterday, which according to someone on the ROMHacking.net forum, is supposed to be a CD emulator. However, all it did was mess up our computer, and when I told Mom, she told me to uninstall it. Doing so brought our computer back to normal speed. (If anything's a coincidence, it's that Mom also nearly broke our computer the same day. Previously, while we were driving Marie home from work, she said that she was doing something with a shelf above the computer, and something fell on top of it and could have cracked the screen.)
I called Brian last night and spoke to him about ISO-burning. He said that he, in fact, uses Daemon Tools all the time, but our own computer is probably just incapable of handling that. He also said that Nero and the ISO are all I really do need, but I need to keep plugging away at burning a CD.
