Actually, surprisingly fun (it can get pretty challenging too). I'm enjoying it quite a bit actually. Keep in mind it's not a super long game...it's more of an arcadey beat your high score kind of game.

Ahm..I am playing Resident Evil 3 (PSX) 'cause Jill Valentine is so hot ...

I've been stuck with Halo 3 for the longest time now. It's great for short bursts between classes (as well as relieving stress during finals week). Started the Reach Beta too which isn't half bad.
And I occasionally play New Super Mario Bros with my girl.

For the summer, though, I have mad plans! On top of working, fixing up my Firebird, I plan on finally beating Majora's Mask.

That game has just been the ugly duckling of the series to me and I've never got past the first temple. I know when I get to the meat of the story I'll enjoy it...it's just a matter of doing it.
I actually attempted to get into it over Christmas but my Gamecube version kept on crashing on my Wii. Words of wisdom: do not use cMIOS on your Wii or MM will crash when you face the skull kid.

Yeah...seems like the emulator on that version is kind of buggy (though I don't think it's meant to crash like that . You're probably best off paying a few bucks and getting the Wii VC version.

I had installed Waninkoko's cMIOS to see if I could play some of my backup Gamecube games (it works).
The problem, though, is when I went to play the original disc version of The Legend of Zelda - Collectors Edition with cMIOS, MM would always crash at a certain spot. Revert back to the original MIOS, the game works like a champ most of the time.
The emulator for that version is pretty crappy. I've found turning off the rumble generally gets rid of most of the crashing. It wouldn't be so much of a problem but MM has a weird save system so you would lose most of your stuff.

Oh, really? So it's using the original disk that's not working. That's pretty weird.

Yeah, apparently it is a bug in the cMIOS that breaks some games. And as people are less concerned about the gamecube on the Wii, there will probably never be a fix.
Just use cMIOS with backup games and revert back to MIOS for real games.

I probably will. Awhile back I condensed my Gamecube collection down...I dumped copies of every single disc, then I made a bunch of multigame discs (on full size DVDs since they hold more than those mini Gamecube DVDs). Kind of awesome to get 3 or 4 games on one disc.

Been very busy with offline stuff, and what not, but when I have had a chance I been playing a few games. Jumpman for the Apple II emulator, Street Fighter 4 for the PS3, and I been playing Adventure Island a little bit on the NES.
