The only PC UMD drives i have saw are the ones in the Sony dev units, I also doubt that sony would give the go ahead for 3rd partys to develop drives. The only thing that may be possible is the same thing as with the Gamecube, Chipping the unit or a addon that lets you rip the discs from the psp itself + you can transfer from the umd's via Wifi as thats what the Gameshare thing does in a way, So maybe someone will hack the Firmware so it rips the whole disc (for backups of course).

Anyhow just stick to buying legit as its supports developers :)

The Text2Pic thing is Homebrew, i found it a while back on some eastern site and its only a get around for viewing well anything, as long as it converts to text.

Games work on any region, Unless the game developer includes a region code which 99% wont (psp itself isnt region locked, the media can be), Films however will be region coded luckily the uk and jpn both share region 2 :), Im guessing though that someone will crack the region in the firmware updates so you can make your psp ignore the regions, As for the demo disc its only available from their and that was in limited numbers, i dont know whether that will be locked or not, I only have RidgeRacer im waiting for the US release to get some games, Suppose we'll know soon whether theyll work or not :), Dazzla >:| damn you, seems forever for these memory sticks

I just preordered my PSP and I can't wait! I hope I get in on the first shipment, the guy at ebgames said that I was right on the line. His boss told him to keep taking preorders tho because they are supposedly getting a very large shipment, more than most stores so that's a good sign. Ugh now I have to decide which game(s) to get. Im thinkin ATV cuz its online and MGS Acid cuz it looks pretty neat. Maybe Untold Legends? ARG!

Why not preorder from EBGames?

Because I have $225 in BestBuy cards. If I can justify spending that on something else I may preorder somewhere else, but I was planning on using them for the PSP. I don't have much time to decide! :wacko:

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
