ArcadeOX version 2 feature request - Page 2

**StarfoxFan2009** · 01-16-2010, 11:16 PM

When the update is done, is there any chance DOS Monopoly or Wheel Of Fortune could be added?

**Kong** · 01-17-2010, 07:31 AM

Most likely this summer.

**CatalystiCam** · 01-18-2010, 10:57 PM

How about Theme Park on DOS, is it on the Startup Library for Dos games on the site?

**Kong** · 01-19-2010, 12:00 PM

I am not going to answer that type of question.
1. It would only be an educated guess.
2. It takes some time and effort to answer.
3. The questions would never stop.

We will be sticking to the 10 year rule and no CDs. That should help you answer some of these questions on your own. We will start off with games less than 10MBs but that might quickly expand, maybe.

**Belmontzar** · 01-20-2010, 12:28 PM

so basically any games that ended production around 2000 then..
Wow thats like... all the DOS games.. so the actual limitation is the size.. Luckily for all of us most DOS games are not that big I dont think. Oh and no CD games of course.. which makes sense since so many of them are.. To start the game put in Disk 1.. now disk 3.. and actually play the game on disc 2... lol
-blinks- so many games... Not as many if you WEED out the game duplicates.. but since each version is different thats not really a change..

so i mentioned this a long time ago, and i cant remeber how the response was, so ill metion it again.
what would be amazingly cool is if you could watch other people play live, so your down to the wire on a big tournament, as your going head to head, you can watch your competitor live. people can crowd around and watch the big finale from there own pc's. "the star! cameron, the star!!!"
it would really cool, if its even possible i dont know.

**Dudebro** · 01-21-2010, 12:28 AM

That doesn't seem possible but damn it would be cool.

**Slime Slayer** · 01-21-2010, 02:44 AM

well its definetly possible, might require some programming (kong) to get it to work.

**simgeezy33** · 01-21-2010, 10:53 AM

will cheats be added to this new version?

**Tails** · 01-21-2010, 10:57 AM

Why cheat? That's boring.

Full mode for ArcadeOX games I believe you can cheat on, but why cheat unless it raises the difficulty?

**Dojah** · 01-21-2010, 01:29 PM

Cheating sucks...and Steven that would be really cool.

**Kong** · 01-21-2010, 06:20 PM

@Steven. 1 person watching 1 person live in full mode for most systems is possible. Adding that to score mode would be very tricky. Watching recorded games after the fact is a planned feature. Multiple people watching a game live could probably be possible through a third party software. I can look into that later.

@simgeezy33 ArcadeOX Full Mode for most systems supports several cheats including game genie style cheats. If that doesn't answer your question let me know what exactly you mean.

**Slime Slayer** · 01-21-2010, 07:50 PM

cool, here is a site that does it: Live Video Home - Xfire not sure if their method would be what youd use or not.
also what would be cool is when you scroll down to the bottom of the page in the arcade, the game boxes of the currently active game/player could be replaced with the live game, man that would be sweet.
im worried that if this feature is implemented in an inconvient way it will go unoticed and not used often, kinda like the way chat is ignored.

**Kong** · 01-21-2010, 09:08 PM

I think that would work. It would be something you would install separately and turn manually on. Something you would voluntarily do for special events like tournaments and contests and trash talking and "game night".

+1 Tails and Dojah. There is never ever a good time to cheat.

@Kong, with the proviso that rules stay the same regarding farming and farmed scores, do you think the new version will have a way to differentiate between farms and scores on the trophy page?

**Dudebro** · 01-21-2010, 09:23 PM

I think you guys are missing part of the cheating equation. It's not cool in high score mode but there's nothing wrong with having the option for normal modes.

In Full Mode that should be fine. In Score Mode I don't think it should ever be done.

I am just saying that I personally hate cheating under any circumstances, but that's me personally. I like games that are really challenging. That's just how I roll.

**Dudebro** · 01-21-2010, 09:32 PM

I don't like cheating either, I just wanna make sure everyone knows that non score mode cheating is perfectly fine if they choose to do it.

Ditto. Unless it's something like Pokemon and I am bored.

**Winnebagel** · 01-21-2010, 10:01 PM

I should also add that some type of codes that can alter game conditions (i.e. Grand Theft Auto where you can make cars fall from the sky or change the weather) or cause wacky effects can be cool.

I just mean that codes that grant extra lives, invincibility, etc. are not fun for me, but there should be nothing against it in Full Mode.

I know what you mean, especially on CODMW when the enemies turn into tires.

On topic, I also think cheating on score mode is not my cup of tea. I'd cheat on regular mode instead

It's funny you mention that, I swear two guys turned into tires when I was aiming at them. It was a long distance and there was a lot of debris in the way but suddenly two tires came bouncing down the hill where I thought two guys were crouching. Is this a known glitch/exploit?

did you shoot them

?

**Dudebro** · 01-21-2010, 10:15 PM

Yeah I shot at the tires but I stopped quickly so I didn't alert people to my position.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 01-21-2010, 10:17 PM

That's why they turned into tires. It's an unlockable cheat called Badyear tires.

Also back on topic, i would love to be able to watch people play.
