News

10/02/2009: First update (and possibly last...?) of the year - I have fixed the inaccessible directories containing the GD-ROM ripping guides by adding some basic index pages to show the contents of the folders (namely, the rip guides by StateS, Yursoft and Kortex), so that means no more 403 errors :)

P.S. The above change only applies to the main site on Hacking CulT, not the mirror on my Virgin Media / NTL webspace.

29/04/2008: Believe it or not, but there is an update in GD-ROM Ripping Stuff, to the secondary drive compatibility list - nothing big, but at least it's something!

23/04/2008: New look for most of the site pages - it might not burn your eyes quite so much as the old colour scheme did. If you were looking for new content though - well, there isn't any! (No time to do stuff like that these days...)

(Really) old news is available for viewing here.

The Other Stuff

Videos - as usual, just the one file; a clip of an interesting-but-unexplained bug in Streets of Rage 2.
Photos, Scans, Graphics, etc. - what it says on the tin.
SA:DX Demo Oddities - redundant. Has some things I snapped ages ago from Japanese Demo B.
Old Sonic CulT:Off Topic Pages - about one hundred three-and-a-half years ago, I was working on two pages for SC:OT (Sonic-CulT:Off Topic, the predecessor site of X-CulT, hosted by infamous Sonic fan site Sonic CulT). One was about the Comix Zone beta for the Mega Drive / Genesis, the other was about the scrapped Vectorman game for the PS2. The Comix Zone page is back - unfinished, though (no section about the GBA version), and as for the Vectorman page, well, let's just say I couldn't be bothered after a while. Sorry :P

The old hit counter stopped working around the start of June 2008 - I think it was at around 800 hits. Suffice to say, I can't be bothered to get it working again :P
