Starcraft Campaigns

It seems to me that a lot of the Starcraft campaigns are getting harder and harder to find. Given the fact that the game came out in . . . . 1996 I think, that's not a surprise. I think it's high time I started attempting to preserve some of them. Given that they are not under copyright, I think I'm just going to start uploading them to mediafire, and saving the links. When I have the time, I'll put up reviews on some of them.

Be aware, some of these are more than 200mb's in size.

Flash Carts for the DS and GBA [computer related]


Many people own a Gameboy Advace or DS. However, what most people don't know, is that buying games for them is almost totally unnecessary.

I don't know if many of you know about game roms. Basically, a game rom is an image file made of a: NES game, GBA game, N64 game, etc, and placed on your computer. These files are played by a program called an emulator. This program tricks the image of the game into thinking that it's being played on the original system. These image files are available on many places throughout the net. Emuparadise.org is a great place to start.

A flash kart, is similar. Except, this flash cart not only stores the games, it also tricks the gameboy advance into playing them. A typical flash cart can hold anywhere from 1-5 games. A flash cart that utilizes an SD card, can hold upwards of 300 games.

These games all function at more or less 100%, depending on the flash cart. The M3 and the Supercard are two very popular ones.

The Supercard, in addition to playing GBA roms, can also read ebooks, small videos, pictures, as well as play NES, GG, SMS, GB, and GBC roms. Quite versitile.

If there is interest on this subject, I may make a more in depth post later.
