More VGN laziness

And the laziness continues, why not copy some text from the PCSX2 website?

Lazy VGN newsposter

Instead of coming up with some own words this lazy newsposter just copies entire statements from the website of the emulator without quotation marks... ts ts ts

BASin is not an emulator

There is a big difference between a Basic development environment and an emulator... *sigh*

And happy easter to all our readers :-)

retrogames mame-health-packs

In a desperate struggle against imminent death, retrogames news posting "staff" throws in some mame-news-health-packages. This apparently is enough to keep the zombiegames site alive or maybe halflive.

retroguru news bloat

Dear kojote, we all know that your favorite emulator Hercules always gets an update to both the cygwin and the not cygwin version.
Stop posting the damn thing twice all the time.

The so-called retroguru should get his numbers straight...



Thanks to hagbard for the submission.

More typo fun

Jets should better not post news when in a hurry ;-)
Correct would be: vSNES 2.7

The varient / varient strikes back

Did I say common typo? ;-))))

Variant verisons

Some common typos used by many emu news posters (including us) :-)

Happy new year btw!!

They are alive!

No... this can't be happening.
Something is weird. Really weird... could it be... no. Impossible.
I think my browser is faulty.

Look at that:



Some news at zophar.net
And they're only a couple of days old.

Back from the dead?

Arcade@Home better stay home

Blatant lie! Arcade@Home newsposter claims that they have updated Kawaks:

Double News on gp32x.com

I DO know that posting the same thing twice is better than not posting it at all.

But is it really that hard looking what news posts already do exist before posting new news?

Well, it happened at gp32x.com - with the Reminiscience news post.

Anyways, here is the first newspost, posted by EvilDragon:


... and here is the second newspost, posted by hando:


Well, at least he didn't just copy the news from his own site without giving credits :P

Hoax news on Emu-France

Emu-France is spreading Hoax news!! :-)

What does "kthx" and "jnjhh" mean?

vg-network.com - once upon a time a real good newssite (called Daves Videogame Classics, one of the first emulator related newspages ever) also seems to go down the drain...

Okay, by the name of the page, we now know that they use Joomla (an OpenSource CMS).

But... what the heck do you mean with "kthx" and "jnjhh" in your Main and User Menu?
What language is that? Old Greek? Alien?

Anyways, here's a screenshot:



But that's not all!
The "Privacy Policy" page simply doesn't exist...



... and the news are still from the Mambo Team (well, Mambo is the former name of Joomla)... maybe you should change all the default texts and links BEFORE you make a CMS public...?

Maybe you might consider getting the help from somebody who knows what he's doing...?



Oh, and looking at the banners on top of the page... you surely are a worthy competitor for PSPUpdates.com for having most banners on least space...

German forks are the best

Our german visitor XTale kindly submitted this odd german emunews site. Three different domains one content one mistake.

This is what XTale said:

"Hi
why you need to run 3 different emu-news sites? To put the wrong
version number on all of them:
- emunews24.de
- emukult.net
- emu-world.net

They all found mame 0.100u2"

(errors marked by me...)

EXEmu More babes!

Apparently EXEmus visitors don't care for emulation related news. The news are months old - yet the visitors just beg for more babes. Maybe this could save Zophars also? :-)

Articulate better next time

GameCop discovered a new emulator called Articulator. Unfortunately he himself is not very articulate ... the emulator is called Arculator.

Emulated circles

Well, I tried my best to find any other sites with mistakes besides PSPUpdates. I'm afraid I haven't found one.
Don't blame me for that, I don't post errors 24/7!

Anyways, I found this interesting sidenote by Dan at a homegrewn game news post:



Cool. An emulator emulating circles - written in LUA! That surely is some great news!

Maybe somebody should tell Dan that not EVERYTHING released on the PSP is an emulator...?

The world's first SidPlayer!

Hey, did you know the world's first SID Player had been released recently?
If it wasn't for PSPUpdates.com, I wouldn't known this. I could've sweared that there had been some SID Players around since years... but maybe that was just my imagination.



Hmm... maybe someone should tell these guys there's more in the world than the #1 PSP... and that some SID Players may have been released on the PC years ago...
