     Well, we have a new addition to EN coming soon.  A person!  Wont tell his name right now, but he is 1 of many webmasters who have agreed to join Emulation Nation!  He will be managing some uploads soon, and other varied junk.  Hopefully more small emulation website webmasters will join EN and it's quest to be the #1 source for your emulation needs.  Also in the news, i had a tough time getting FTP space for roms.  I have a solution, for now.  The NINTENDO ROMS now work fully, they should NOT send you off to another website again, or give you an ERROR 404 page anymore.  More roms to come soon!  Bookmark EN now, we get hotter by the hour!

  This news is in purple because it is VERY important you read it now!  Ok, no one likes a damned LINKER.  I hate'em too.  But, for now, i link to a few emulators.  Why not?  Its fine to link to them AS LONG AS (in my opinion) you dont keep the links.  Like the roms, lets keep the links for "24 hours" hahaha.  Anyhow, Freeservers.com where i run this site from, wont let me upload files larger than 400k FOR NOW.  So i am stuck, so to speak.  Some roms and emulators are over 400k of course, duh.  I found out, than on 9 out of 10 of my "linked files", that if you click for instance the ULTRAHLE emulator download link, it sends ya ass to a page saying "Sorry, that page or file is not found".  Haha, nonsense.  If you get this error on ANY of my links, here's a trick to get around this --- simply come back to my site, (alt+left arrow on keyboard) and RIGHHT-CLICK the link.  Select SAVE AS or SAVE TARGET AS, depending on your browser, and it'll save the damned .ZIP file to your hard disk.  *Sigh* some webmasters run shitty sites and they do link-switching, which means they run CGI scripts and java applets that switch the links up every 12-24 hours, so linkers cant link.  Well, tickle me pink, this doesnt always work.  The REAL linkers, they wanna link.  Someone links from them and their ugly ass sites, OH NO!  HEAVEN FORBID!  It's a double-standard!  The linkers can link, but no one can link from them?  Ahh blow it out your unexperienced-with-running-a-rom-site-asses.  I found a way around it, boo hoo.  Links are not copyrighted (yet) so i will link if i choose to, thank you, but i wont do it PERMANENTLY.  Anyhow, try right-clicking any "broken" links on my site.  I did it on the ULTRAHLE V1.0 emulator download link, and it worked fine (big nasty grin).  If a link DOESNT work when right-clicked?  Email me NOW and let me know ASAP so i can just upload the fucking file to my own damned site.  Jesus Christ, cry baby webmasters, waa waa waa, "Dont link to my stuff!"  Ahh go to hell, ya stupid net bastards.....

UltraHLE works, with sound, 1024x768 screen resolution and 25-50 frames per second (depending on the UltraHLE settings you specify).
Mario Kart 64
Screen Shot #1 - The intro screen when the game is in 'demo' or 'attract' mode as it's currently still called today.
Screen Shot #2 - The NINTENDO golden logo spinning and getting blurry as it speeds up.
Screen Shot #3 - The Mario Kart 64 title screen.
Screen Shot #4 - Select character screen.  Yes, you will see some graphical flaws the UltraHLE emulator produced during gameplay.
Screen Shot #5 - Starting the race!
Screen Shot #6 - Some screen shots i took at lower resolutions than 1024x768, but i saved them as 1024x768 to show off game detail.
Screen Shot #7 - Me racing around as Mario fat ass, and Toad wouldnt get off my butt.  A little bit of frame rate loss here and there.
Screen Shot #8 - Still, you see graphical glitches, but the game looked and sounded 95% like the real thing, maybe even 98% close.
Screen Shot #9 - Im still taking pictures, using my F10 key, weee!
Screen Shot #10 - More and more proof, that UltraHLE works people...
Screen Shot #11 - Hell im still playing, in first place in the race, and having fun!  Woo hoo!  I love MY fast computer!  (evil smirk)

UltraHLE works, with sound, 1024x768 screen resolution and 25-50 frames per second (depending on the UltraHLE settings you specify).
Golden Eye 007
Screen Shot #1 - James Bond is walking within view of the sniper-scope intro screen here.
Screen Shot #2 - Yes, there are still flaws in UltraHLE, but this shows its coming along fine!  The sounds are PERFECT as well.
Screen Shot #3 - Here's the Golden Eye 007 game logo now.
Screen Shot #4 - Here we are, the game itself.  If only the graphics were as hot as the sounds are, hmm.  The gun here, has a bad "shiny" flaw in it.
Screen Shot #5 - Im still going around, my frame rate sucks.  I turned sound off and got up to 28 frames per second, not bad really.
Screen Shot #6 - With the sound off (and the sound is so perfect, awww), i still get 28 FPS as i zoom in and snipe enemies from afar.
Screen Shot #7 - I dropped screen resolution to 512x384 and the graphics looked like HORRIDLY rendered D3D shit, blah...
Screen Shot #8 - Still playing, still killing guys, sound is back ON (couldnt resist) and the frame rate lags along, 15-20 FPS.
Screen Shot #9 - Here i am, still sniping, shooting, killing, all that crap.
Screen Shot #10 - Even with the crapola frame rate loss here, the game is still responsive and the music doesnt miss a beat!
Screen Shot #11 - Lastly, i smother some poor russian with bullets.  The color in the 3D models suck, but the mountains are perfect... and NO SKY?!

Next UltraHLE game to get sent to these Proving Grounds is the N64 rom MARIO 64!  We'll see what UltraHLE can do.  If i can get some major frame rates in Mario 64, then the UltraHLE is worth it's weight in gold, and i HIGHLY recommend this emulator to you all, and i suggest a VooDoo3 card!  Dont worry, the Proving Grounds roms will be online for download within a matter of days... its hard to run this site alone, you know, so hush up :-P
