My girlfriend found this little gem of a video and it gave me a pretty good laugh.
A bit of warning, the language of the commentary me offend you… but it will crack you up
I promise!
Now please excuse me while I continue rolling on the floor laughing (that’s ROTFL to the uninitiated)
Yoshiro’s XGEN Updater is a very useful tool that allows you to upgrade your hacked PSP (one with custom firmware installed) to the latest GEN CFW (which is currently 5.50 GEN-D) or if you dare, any official firmware version (just like Hellcat’s Recovery tool). If you’re asking how the XGEN updater will be of use to you when you’re already on 5.00 M33, it’ll save you the trouble of doing an incremental update of 5.00 M33 -> 5.50 GEN-A -> 5.50 GEN-B -> 5.50 GEN-B2 -> 5.50 GEN-D -> 5.50 GEN-D2 -> 5.50 GEN-D3.

I’m not a big NFS fan but I’ll admit that I’m a stickler for racing games so when Need for Speed Shift (for the PSP) came out, I decided to take it for a spin. Here’s a review of the game…

What? A review? Already? Yep. That’s pretty indicative of the game’s length isn’t it?

So you’ve tried the version.txt hack and it didn’t turn out well (in short, it didn’t work for you). It’s admittedly a hit or miss bypass since not all games relied on checking a version.txt file to see if you were running the right firmware version. To date, the best and most reliable way to be able to play games that require OFW 5.03 to 5.50 is to upgrade to 5.50 GEN-A/5.50 GEN-B (no luck for partially hackable PSPs).
But what if you had a game that requires 5.55 or 6.00? Well, there’s this method.

To say that the Philippines stood still in the midst of Ondoy is an understatement. I’m pretty sure I speak for everyone when I saw that no one expected the damage to be this huge. It’s the biggest disaster I’ve seen and experienced since the 1991 quake and yet it started out as what everyone thought as just the typical downpour. The truth however, is that Ondoy is the worst typhoon to hit the metro since 1967.

The only saving grace that the PSP Go would have had (which was converting your currently-owned UMD games to ISO/digital format) has been axed by Sony stating legal AND technical issues. Tsk tsk… there goes your expected PSP Go user-base Sony. Trading-in UMDs for digital copies would’ve been the best way to get people to convert to the Go but once again, Sony shoots itself in the foot. Even I won’t consider getting the PSP Go now, I’ll just go with the Zune HD thank you very much.

I’ve got my budget set for my holiday shopping but sadly it won’t buy me every gadget that I’m longing for (just dirt poor fella here). I’m well on my way on getting my dream camera, the Nikon D90 for xmas (that’s after xmas… you’ll still be waiting for Google’s blessings – ed) but there’s still quite a few gadgets that I really want to get my hands on. What else can I do? Put up a wishlist of course

Since most of my site’s visitors are PSP Gamers, I thought it was relevant to give this question a dedicated post.

What’s your favorite PSP Game?
No need to add a why but if you feel that your favorite game needs defending on it’s pure awesomeness, please feel free to tell the world. A word of caution though. No bashing of other people’s opinion.
Mine would be obvious, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (although I’m still on Portable 2nd G but it’s basically the same).
So, what’s your favorite PSP game to date?
My daily routine first thing in the morning is to read updates via netvibes and moderate comments (and reply to them if need be) before leaving for the office. It just so happens that I was reading up on my daily Rails (ruby on rails routine) when I stumbled into a blackmailing message on my comments.
Crab mentality FTW! [someone pointed out that me stating "It's from a fellow pinoy" helped muddle the already murky situation, I assure everyone that there was no harm nor blame intended. It's just that every blog that had the very same comment posted on them were Pinoy-owned blogs. Turns out, most if not everyone at the receiving end of the message is using Topblogs to track their blogs. >_> -1 for me for missing the painfully obvious.]
