        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Still here? Good. Then let’s 
          get back to what I was saying before the break. :)</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Anyway, the program is incredible. 

          Unfortunately, it’s not exactly legal. Well, that’s really not true. 
          The <i>program</i> is legal, but running any games on it isn’t. At least 
          it’s not if you don’t own the game (or at least, that’s what I’ve been 
          told in the past…Nintendo might disagree with me there). I own all the 
          games I tested with UltraHLE, so I don’t feel like I’m ripping anyone 
          off here. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And something that should 
          be stressed here, is that UltraHLE is a simply marvelous piece of technology, 
          but that’s <i>all</i> it is. Don’t think that this is a way to avoid 
          buying a Nintendo 64 and play some great games for free. That’s just 
          silly. I loaded up <b>Zelda</b> and <b>Mario 64</b>, and tried playing 
          them, and I have to tell you…it’s just not worth it. They might be great 
          technologically speaking, but it’s just not the same.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The thing you have to remember 
          about Nintendo 64 games, is that they are written for a specific set 
          of hardware. Not a PC with all its various gadgets and gizmos. So when 
          Shigeru Miyamoto was making <b>Mario 64</b>, he designed it purely for 
          use with the Nintendo 64 control pad. Yeah, you know that funky thing 
          with the analog stick? Well it’s an integral part of playing <b>Mario 
          64</b>. When you play <b>Mario 64</b> with a keyboard (ugh!) you’re 
          not playing the game that Miyamoto wanted you to play. And considering 
          that we’re talking about what I consider to be one of greatest games 
          ever made, that’s just a crime. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">You can laugh all you like, 
          but even after playing <b>Mario 64</b> at 1024x768, I’m more than happy 
          to go back to my 27&quot; television and play <b>Mario</b> in 320x240. 
          It doesn’t look as pretty but it is legal, and heck…it’s the way it 
          was meant to be played. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you can find it, check 
          out UltraHLE (no, I won’t tell you where to get it). It’s an incredible 
          piece of software by some brilliant programmers. Whoever Epsilon and 
          RealityMan are, they sure know how to code, I’ll tell you that much. 
          Don’t be surprised if they get hired by a major game company soon. This 
          program’s good enough to warrant their being hired by Nintendo. :)</font></p>
