About Me

Obviously I like video games. Way too many systems to count. Big fan of 8-bit Atari computers, generally not a fan of other Atari ventures.
I also consider watchmaking and radio controlled vehicles as other hobbies of mine.

I'm a web developer/administrator by trade.

WTB PSONE attachable controller

Fri Feb 3, 2012 10:20 AM

About a year ago I started searching for a PSONE Attachable Controller by Gemini/Gem-Gaming/Philips. Thread is here. I would have thought that by now I would have seen one of these controllers on ebay, but it hasn't happened yet.

If anybody happens to possess either unit, I'd pay $25+shipping (70121 area code) for either one.
Or if anybody's got one and loves it too much to sell, please take some pictures--there just isn't a lot of info on these, and the below pics are all I've found of the two styles of unit:

Android Handheld Systems

Fri Feb 3, 2012 8:52 AM

I don't know anything about android except than I'm not a 'smartphone person.' Lately I've been seeing inexpensive little android game systems like this one and am wondering how it all works and what I should be looking out for when selecting a unit.

Raft of questions:
Does anybody have a similar device and do they work well?
How does button support work? Do they map to the screen?
This is an android 2.3 device--is that good or bad?
How will I get games onto this device? I'm assuming phone networks have handy app stores, and this unit probably won't.
What can I look forward to as far as functionality and games that will really blow my socks off? (I have angry birds on my psp and think it's awful)

Are there any stellar 4x strategy, turn-based squad strategy, space trading/combat, or sim-ish racing games to look forward to?

PSP Custom Firmware and Plugins

Tue Jan 3, 2012 7:34 AM

Last night I decided to take myself up to the latest and greatest custom firmware because I was having some trouble getting a few games to start. (which they now do start) Before the upgrade, I was on '5.50 gen d3' and I "upgraded" myself to whatever the latest 6.60 firmware is. Then, a couple of my more important plugins stopped running.

Plugins causing issues:

FuSa, which does game video through either output cable, and has a (less than ideal) fullscreen zoom option can't seem to run in anything after 6.20.
I upgraded to the latest 'Homebrew Categories' variant, but it's failing too. It provides me 'folders' under my memstick icon to sort games into.

Questions:

Where the heck can I find 5.50 gen D3 firmware in this day and age. My first instinct is to go back, but I can't find it anywhere. Is there some important reason that I cannot locate it?
What's this 'prometheus' stuff that works with 5.50 firmware? Will I likely have plugin or game issues with it?
Does the OFW that my 6.60 CFW is based on provide any method for sorting games? Or is it the usual crapton of unsorted software in one spot? It seems odd that Sony would release so many tiny 'psp minis' and not provide a way to sort/organize the now massive list of games.
Has the video out improved at all with newer firmware? Can I do game video through composite/s-vid? Will component go closer to full screen?

I really liked the way my PSP was running before, and I think I'm probably going to downgrade back to 5.50, get all my plugins going again and then look into pushing 5.50 as far beyond its initial limitations as possible (or patching games). I think the short of it is that 5.50 was the height of PSP's success, and many of the homebrewers have long since abandoned their projects.

Doso wireless controller for PSP

Sun Jan 1, 2012 6:54 PM

I was stumbling around the internet, and came across this nifty little gadget and ordered myself one. It's a wireless controller for psp. My thought is that I should be able to have pretty much the full console experience with it combined with the tv-out.

Anybody have one of these? How well do they work? The internet seems to be critically lacking on information about this device.

Looking for good Genesis racers.

Sun Dec 18, 2011 11:27 AM

One area that my Genesis collection is lacking is in racing games. I have so many awesome racers on SNES/sfc, but far fewer on this side of the house. Anybody have any good suggestions for me? I lean away from racing with weapons/combat.

Genesis racers I've enjoyed:
Virtua Racing
Lotus II RECS
Micro Machines
Micro Machines turbo tournament 96 (seems to run too fast on NTSC)
