Even without this, though, just having the display bigger is an unfair advantage. To say there is no difference is to argue that playing 4-player split-screen FZX carries no significant diadvantage!


Its definately not the same thing. FzeroX in for player mode gives you a quarter of the resolution! (160*120 instead of 320*240, not taking away the pixels used by the border lines) and that TRULY makes it more difficult. I think the view is more zoomed too.

You wont, however, get higher resolution with a GBA game on a TV, than you do on the GBA itself. The TV just offers a bigger pic (sure it doesnt move with your hand movements ... hmm ok), and if thats an unfair advantage, so is using a bigger TV than someone else, or using one of those magnifying glasses you can set up on the GBA.

sorry for my bad english but hope you get my points here

That's how I look at the GBA Player issue also. We don't punish someone for using a 60-inch TV to play F-Zero X (while some of us are using MUCH smaller TVs), so it should be OK to use the GBA Player. That seems like a reasonable parallel to me. That's my opinion unless someone convinces me otherwise.

I don't really find that I need *practise* on FF. The reason it would be desirable to have loads of lives would just be to get a run without f'n traffic. Maybe to shave off those hundreths you'd need to practise, but traffic on FF is such a b*tch that I feel I'm about 3 secs slower than my potential, and I just need a lucky run not more practise.

Anyway, I don't want to spend money on a cheat code thingy and so I agree totally with DVM.
