Trauma Center Second Opinion does not support widescreen

I was a bit amazed by the fact that Trauma Center Second Opinion does not support widescreen. It's not the end of the world since my screen provides a button for me to switch between two modes, but it's still .. strange.

With Internet, there's no need for video game strategy guide

I can easy get frustrated by video game for one simply reason: I don't have a lot of time to play video game. So whenever I got stuck, I have a strong incentive to get pass it fast. Fortunately, Internet is the rescue.

No only that there are tons of FAQ available on the Net, but if I really got stuck even after reading the text FAQ, I can go to YouTube and almost always I can find demonstration on level that I get stuck.

Now, with all these help, the only thing left to keep me from surviving is most probably the skill :-P, as demonstrated in Mario Sunshine World 1-2, which I always seem to have problem facing the enermy properly when shooting water gun. :-<

Mutliple game pack disc is awesome

The Wii hack scene is just shocking. I just found out that there are people who put multi GamCube games on a single Wii disc. Like this "Mario Party and Wario Games Collection thing" I just tested. It contains 6 GameCube games on one disc. Previously I didn't even know it's possible.

Side notes:
- during the selection you need to use the start/pause button to start booting the disc.
- When asked what version, select NTSC (at least for me in US). Don't use 480p since that's probably just for the VGA cable thing, and at least it didn't work for my machine.

Found a 4:3 GameCube solution!

Remember a while ago I said that I have problem running 4:3 GameCube game screen using my KWorld 1440 TV Box? Well, I found a great solution:

- Go to your KWorld setup menu
- Select [System] tab
- Select [Display Set]
- Select Output Format as 1440 x 900 60Hz
- Finally check the aspect ration to 4:3.

Done. And now I am enjoying my GameCube games at proper 4:3 screen ratio.

Wii KWorld 1440 TV Box, and widescreen

My solution of playing Wii in my new future new apartment is using my 20 inch SamSung LCD monitor with a newly brough KWorld 1440 TV Box. The TV Box Arrived last night, and it worked great enough. However, there was this audio missing problem from the build in chessy speaker that really irritated me. The audio will played fine for a while, and then all the sudden dropped, and then came back again. At first I thought it was the cable that has problem, which will be terribly bad consider that all the cable that comes with are proprietary. Then after messing with my headphone, I finally realized that the problem was actually on the internal speaker. I am still struggling whether I should replace another one without speaker problem, but then since the sound from the speaking was SO cheesy, I may not bother the effort to pack it return it and then hoping to get back a proper model soon.

I was also disappointed about the fact that my current solution doesn't work too well with GameCube game. I got a 4:3 GameCube screen filling up a 16:9 LCD monitor, which is kind of suck, the kind of shit that I hate (inproper screen ration) ... but ... sign, let me look for other solutions.
