All I have to say is playing Super Stardust Delta and checking out the Hustle Kings demo while on conference calls at work may very well be the reason the Vita was invented. :shiftyninja: :laugh:

Hustle Kings is good, you should pick it up. It's one of the titles where you get the PS3/Vita versions for the price of one.

I also went on NEAR earlier and someone had left me/traded a piece of treasure from Uncharted. Not sure how they done it, but I do know gifts and challenges get shared through NEAR.

I am definitely considering picking it up, just no need right now, I have so many games to play on it as it is.

Can you link to that neogaf thread again with the wallpapers? Definitely want to check some of them out.

Hot Shots Golf is awesome. Love this game.

Also downloading Super Stardust and Lumines. I have a feeling I'll be sleeping late tonight. :laugh:

I have yet to even check out Hot Shots yet, I own the game outright (meaning on cartridge). Figure I will save it for last, as I know I am going to enjoy it. (Y) Congrats BTW.

@ Rudy - I found the download speeds started off slow then picked up and took nowhere near as long as they originally said they were. Hopefully the same happens for you.

Also I have to say, a whole lot more members wound up picking up the Vita than I thought actually would. Very cool indeed. :yes:

I actually got sick, have a pretty crappy cold, so my plan is to head to bed soon, bring the Vita with me, and start playing some Rayman. Just so thoroughly impressed with the thing so far. It really provides a true gaming experience. Knew it would, but nice that my hopes have been confirmed.

I guess it should be expected since it just got released, I'm sure a lot of people are on it downloading demos and games

edit: yea it picked up. Went to eat something in the kitchen and came back and they were all done :)

Anyone else have retail Uncharted, every time i turn my Vita on it says Uncharted installing please wait and the icon jumps like its just been installed. Its already been updated to 1.01. Its a minor niggle but a bit annoying.

Yeah, I think it is just reading the card after you turn the system back on. It does seem unnecessary to tell you it's reading the card, and the icon bouncing around is silly.

Larry you somehow left me an Avatar for Hustle Kings in NEAR :p

That's me now received two gifts in it!

It's crazy how smooth/good looking it is in comparison with the PS3 version. Pretty much 1:1.

yeah rayman does the same, just reading the card on startup,

As I'm on a budget 4GB card until i get paid I'm having to really manage memory, one thing i haven't been able to find is a way to find out how much each app/demo/game is using on the card. I had a look in settings and application settings but it only lists any DLC or add ons, it doesn't list how much the game/demo is actually using, anyone know how to find this info out?

Also it appears that I'm part of the group that can't get near to work, it seems to be affecting the wifi users more (which i am) but googlemaps and near won't work with an error message stating that locational data could not be found, my machine is connected ok to my wifi network it just can't get the data. A few other forums have said stepping outside and trying it then, which ill try later, i hope this gets resolved as I'm envious of all of the near type activities going on and listed in the forum.

Ive tried the free AR games and they are really good for freebies. The tabletop football is probably the best, if your in the UK this is basically subuteo (sorry for the spelling) and plays exactly the same, with flicks for passing and moving the players. It was quite impressive, you use all six AR cards to setup not only the football pitch but also stadiums and the score board, as said it's a lot of fun and well worth the download.

So far I luckily have not had any of the issues mentioned in this thread. All seems to be working normal for me. No second installs, NEAR works, although I still have no idea what is really going on with it LOL and generally speaking, all has been smooth, which I did expect to have a bit more issues. I do have WiFi version, so far only been at my house and work, which at work I did not connect to the Wireless, so really just been connected at home.

One thing I was thinking of doing is giving the Vita a Static IP for my home network. As it currently lists my Nat as Type 2. Anyone seen any walkthroughs on that, such as ports that need to be forwarded, etc.? I am assuming it is probably just the same ones as the PS3, but would like to know for sure.

My WiFi vita tethers to my Desire through HTC Hotspot absolutely fine. No need for 3G version :p

Love how the screen looks, even when playing something like Hustle Kings the colours look very vivid.

Type 2 is the NAT you want.

For the first part, the only way I've figured out to check that stuff is while working with the content manager while it's connected to a PC/PS3. I'm quite sure then it shows the size of all the apps that you're able to delete off their.

As to the second part, I have that problem at my house about 50% of the time, yet at work it's able to pull the data no problem. Not sure what causes it here but it seems to be a bit of hit and miss for whatever reason (just tried it again now and it says it couldn't obtain it). Though like I said it's mainly at home I've having this problem as it's been able to retrieve it just fine connecting to hotspots around the downtown.

update: - found the app/game/demo size,

go into the home screen rearrange / edit mode, click the three dots next to an app and one of the options apart from delete is information, it will then tell you the file size as well as the updated date, version etc..

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
