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:

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
