It may well be my ear

I can laugh at the funny on GaijinSmash (thanks Jimbo for the link), but it hurts. As does eating, talking, and anything involving the slightest bit of jaw movement. And I probably shouldn't be here in the International Center right now; I should be heading to the Suzuki Hospital to get checked out and see if I'm going deaf or need my teeth removed. But Maeda-san took my laptop away again, claiming yesterday's technology dude misunderstood the system I have set up. The concept of Networked adapters confuses me too, but once I get NTT, ALL WILL BE WELL (or it damn well better be).

In the meantime, can someone be a saint and email me TTFs of Digital Strip, Wild Words, Anime Ace, and all them other comic-book style fonts? I know I could download them now, but I can't save them to the desktop here and email them to myself to smehow get on my laptop whenever it DOES get hooked up, but if someone emails them to me, I can save them to my Flash drive and transfer them that way. I do still need Matrix Book and Suburban (Bold and Light), but those are paid fonts on my computer back in LA, and I don't think Grandpa will have the slightest clue how to get them off and email them to me, even if I instruct him step by step. -_- If there were another way to get them, I would take advantage of it, but...

Also, does anyone know why ZSNES (my favorite emulator) does not want to work on my prettyful Intel-based Mac? SNES9x does, but I can't open up ROMs from the dialog menu, because the Network drive doesn't show up in the list of places to search, so to open games I have to drag them onto the 9x icon. What a pain in the ass.

And tomorrow I have to be up by 6am so I can go to Tokyo. Yay pictures.

Oh, and THERE IS A TOTAL AZURESHIPPING MOMENT IN YU-GI-OH R VOLUME 3 WHICH I BOUGHT NEW HERE IN JAPAN YAY YAY YAY I AM NOT TEH SHITTING YOU!!!!! Whee. It's short, but oh-so-very WUNDERBAR!

We definitely need to see some pictures! You're having all these wonderful adventures and I'm so jealous.

If I could help with those font-emailing things I would, but I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. @_@

If you can Google those fonts, find them, and save them in True Type Font format then email the files to me, I'd appreciate it. I think you can find them at Blambot or DaFont.com. Does that make sense?

Once I get Internet (like, MY OWN; the wireless here on campus is apparently NEVER compatible with my laptop and its two WONDERFUL OSes), I can upload pictures. I may even splurge on a .Mac account so it's easier.

SNES9x > ZSNES
If you're running the emulator through XP, it might be because XP is only being emulated. If you're running it in OSX, it might just be because you're on a Mac. And are you sure you've looked everywhere in the directories list? If you can't find your network drives you're either not looking hard enough, or SNES9x doesn't read network drives, either way, you probably want to put your roms on the actual drive itself.

Oh, and on Gaijinsmash, tell me when you get to the entry about kancho. XD

I was running it through the emulator, since what they did at the Mac store was dump everything from my My Documents folder and put it on my OSX HD. Then I just told Parallels to read My Documents as a shared folder, that way Windows programs can see it (as can OSX). I thought it might be because I originally INSTALLED the file normally (i.e. there are system files in other folders that I didn't copy over, like in Program Files), but I haven't been able to access any sites (yay for school firewalls) where I can look up info about that, the network drives in 9x, or even see if there's an emulator made for Macs.

I did look pretty hard for the network drives, so I figure that 9x simply can't read from them for whatever reason. Maybe it's not an emulator meant for LAN-style gaming, where network drives would be the most likely to be used, right? I can try and move the ROMs folder to the Windows VM exclusively, but it'd be a pain because sometimes Windows doesn't read USB/CDs inserted if they were inserted BEFORE Windows was started up (and OSX has "priority"). So I'd have to copy all the files, disconnect the USB/eject the burned CD, start up Windows, and re-insert whatever it is, rather than just Cut and Paste. I think.
