i'll try it now

it looks like it's in the background but it's not, it actually holds the picture's position, and takes you to the menu if you want to check something.

It's not exactly setting it as a background.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment said it will release "XXX," "Hellboy," "Resident Evil 2" and "One Upon A Time in Mexico" on April 19 in the Universal Media Disc or UMD format, with additional monthly releases in the future. The unit did not set a price for the movie discs.

Now all we need is prices!!!!

I still think if they arent at least half the price of normal DVD's then not many will buy them! Since most people would prob prefer to buy the normal DVD and rip them to Mem stick, and still have a normal DVD to play on home players.

Anyone know if UMD is going to be used with anything else or will it be PSP exclusive?

Pre-ordered mine at EB on December 16, literally the same day they started taking pre-orders. It was hilarious, the clerk had to call another store to get the pre-order code because he hadn't gotten the new catalog yet.

As for US-friendly games, Lumines is a great music/puzzle game. Other import-friendly titles you may be interested in are Darkstalkers, Ridge Racers, and Minna no Golf (Everybody's Golf, or Hot Shots Golf in the U.S.).

I caved and ordered one. I got the one with the Value Pack so even though it'll be a pathetic 32MB stick, it'll be something. I have some Memory Sticks for my F-707 camera, will they work? I think I have a 256 MB one.

If you have a regular Memory Stick, it won't work.

Memory Stick Duo is much smaller one. (slightly smaller than SD card)

On the other hand, Memory Stik Duo will work with your camera with an adapter.

Memory Stick Duo slot is half the size of Memory Stick, how would it fit in? :p

I had to buy Memory Stick Duo and abandon my old Memory Stick because my current camera only supports Duo. :angry:

I didn't know the Duo WAS half the size :p. I think the last time I looked at the US specs it was going to use regular memory sticks. Either way, I'll have something to play with until I get a nice 1GB stick.

No way they're gonna sell for that much. They'll end up costing the same as regular DVD's.

The only one I might buy is the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children if it is not released on DVD at the same time. I guess I will also get the free Spider Man 2. Other than those, buying movies on UMD does not appeal to me at that price, might as well get the DVD.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
