someone had to back out, since I can't take paypal. (2-3 spots left) If the spots aren't filled I'll sell them on ebay (as Alpha kindly suggested)

I really want to just ship to the UK, since I checked the UPS's cheapest shipping rate and it is 70 dollars.

One game, a PSP and shipping comes to 321 dollars. I just dont want to be held liable for international deliveries.

At least if I ship to the UK (where I live), people can come pick it up, or I can send it over for a fairly cheap postal cost.

Like the DS it depends on the game. On the DS it's called Download Play, on the PSP it's called Game Sharing.

Stop decieving people, dazzla. It is only Nintendo DS that is able to play multiplayer games with several other DS'es with 1 cartridge in hand.

PSP DOES NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE.

Yes, there is a feature called "game sharing" on Sony PSP, but it is not the same feature as Nintendo DS. Do not be decieved.

With PSP it's "game sharing" is only to trade savegame files with others who have the same game and to trade some files with PSP and PS2 like the GBA advanced linker for GC.

NO CURRENT PSP GAME SUPPORTS "GAME SHARING" FEATURE

i hate it when I cant edit my old posts...

Anyway,

Seems like a standard PSP and three games (lumines, golf, and Ridge Racers) should be around 200 pounds.

(if not less)

I think Ill only be able to help 5 people, because I dont want to be stopped at the airport with a huge amound of PSP's.

Two people have already 'booked' two spots. Three spots left.

@Dazzla, I've asked Aiko to check how much 1GB memory sticks are. When she emails me back I'll let you know.

****, excuse me for reading the Japanese manual wrong :blink: :blink: that's what you get when you read the ****ing pictures.

Consider me wrong, I wasn't decieving anyone, I was just trying to make out the manual (which I seem to have lost :s ), no download play for PSP. Not that we know what Game Sharing is though...

Dont suppose you'd mind giving some advice to a uk gamer looking to buying a PSP?

I'm looking at getting a PSP + 2 Games + Memory Stick.

What games do you recomend for people that dont speak Japanese? Do some have any english dialogue?

ok everyone look, I've taken alot of orders (and i'm getting like 10 pounds profit only from each)

I've decided to leave it up to ebay.

The NEOBAY will have the links up (one is up now)

For US buyers, all I know is that via UPS it's 70 dollars minimum for 5 day delivery. I'll deliver if I can't be held liable.

I hope I can help some people and before mailing me, or bidding please make sure 100% that you want one! I've had 4 people asking and backing down and 3 sticking with their plan.

I hope everyone can understand that its a huge responsibility and I want to help people, just not put alot of stress on my head.

Ridge Racers and Lumines seem to be the best choices at the moment. Ridge Racers is about 90% english, the other 10% is guessable and the more you play the more you get used to it. Lumines has more english in it then Ridge.

The text on the cards is mostly jap...so its useless unless you can read em

The only *safe* game to get is Ridge Racers (imo), and thankfully it rocks.

well as mentioned before, lumines is also quite english orientated...

as for MGA, I do already own this game and yes it is VERY J-orientated....if you are willing to give it a go an dnot understand the story, then most of it is fairly easy to pick up...although it does help to have a little ability in J and a J wife who is fluent.... :p

when I return back to Japan next week, I plan to pick up dynasty warrior SE that comes with a much better carrying case than originally came with the psp...I also plan to pick up one of the AI series and something else...

and as for a battery update....using the system with lumination on low, vol on low and alternating between RR, Lumines, MGA, and watching some vids off the memory card, the battery lasted about 6.5 hours before I had to swap it... :D

Sony has posted a public apology in its website, to apologize for the shortage of PlayStation Portable in Japan. Sony mentioned they will try their best to ship out additional PSP units to the market.

Anyone saw this apology letter? Couldn't find it on their website.

More and more I am convinced PSP will probably launch late april/may in US or even worse, not at all in 2005.

This is one bad launch and if they can't supply their own territory, I don't know how they will be able to worldwide.

Just my opinion.

Lmao, "not in 2005". You're a funny, funny guy.

Anyway, quick impressions on Lumines then I'm off to drown myself in it.

1. The music ****ing rocks. I love this ****, hooked the PSP up to my 680s and whacked up that volume :woot:

2. I can see this becoming extremely addictive. Even the difference between the first and second go you can start to see strategies, ways to build combos. This is gonna get a lot of playtime.

Lumines is a good attempt for a polished puzzle game for PSP, but i still believe it hinders gameplay with PSP's wide screen, it's kind of odd that the blocks come from the side and you don't seem to have much space to maneuver your blocks.

You should try playing your psp games with xlink and see how good the multiplay is.

The creators of lumines are also making a new puzzle game for DS aswell which I find intriguing and fits perfectly well with the way DS screens are setup. It's called planet meteos.

Blocks come from the side? No they don't, blocks come from the top and the playfield stretches all the way across the screen.

    • Dopamine 3.0.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
