btw, it's PS1 or PS One. The PSX is a playstation 2. Many stupid people called the PS1 a PSX for some (or no) reason.
No, the PSX was the original name of the PS1. The PS1 didn't even get called PS1 until the PS2 came about.
Show me a sales reciept for a PSX?
Show me anything, anywhere that refers to the PS2 as the PSX, official or unoffical. Not some Japanese Prototype, but the actual PS2 being referred to as the PSX.

The only PS1 game I've run across that doesn't work with the PS3 is Return Fire. It was an early PS1 game, and is in a format that isn't within the later PS1 standard. It works on all PS1 consoles, and PS2's that have the "Disc Speed" option in the firmware. It does not work with the PS3..
Short of that, all of my other 50 or so PS1 games work, including SW: Masters of Teras Kasai.

There are a few other hacks and homebrew games and demo/prototype roms in these forums. They are not all in one location. You're going to have to read the board to learn about them. No one is going to just post a link to every thread for every one of them for you.

How is it possible to softmod a PS 2? The system normally does not have a hard drive.
You DO NOT need a mod chip.
http://www.sksapps.c...ge=exploit.html
Everything you need to know about FreeMCboot is there. You will need a PS2 memory card, and a copy of Codebreaker or Action Replay to get it installed. To back up your PS2 games, you will also need the PS2 Network Adaptor with and IDE Hard Drive attached to it.
will this allow me to play sweet imports like Michigan and that other game?
I believe it will. I'm not sure though. I've never really been into playing imports as I don't speak Jive.

Works fine as long as the game doesn't require you to keep it running while swapping discs. I'm not sure, but I doubt that sort works. As long as it lets you save, then boot up disc 2 (and your eboot of disc 2 has the same SLUS or whatever code), you're good
multi-disc eboots from PSX2PSP and the POPs versions have been around for ages. Sony actually added the disc switching feature to the official POPs files back on the 5.00 firmware.

...I'd like to see "ULTIMATE GHOULS & GHOSTS"!
I think you mean Ultimate Ghosts & Goblins.
Ghouls and Ghosts was the awful, jerky, poorly controlled rip off or Ghosts & Goblins.

It's a tie-in product for the upcoming Live-Action/CGI Smurfs movie.
and it's for the Wii.
What did you expect?-

It's the TV. Specifically Vizio, and many of the "discount" brands.
My Samsung LCD from 2009 supports 240p, so all of my classic systems work with it.
Diddo, does yours support N64 though? thats the only one mine won't support
The scourge that is Nintendo does not soil my game room.

And yeah - boo hoo if you can't play online games for FREE for a few days. If you were paying for the service, fine - you have a right to bitch. But you're not. It's a bonus.
Considering Sony didn't give us our Playstation 3's for free and didn't give us our games for free, I think there was ample room for complaining.
Sony doesn't offer online multiplayer out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm quite certain our purchases, that advertise such capabilities, are subsidizing the operations of the Playstation Network.
You quoted and responded to a post I made almost a month ago.
At that point, the PSN service had only been down for a few days. Now, having been down almost a month down - people definitely have a legitimate right to complain, free service or not. But at the time I made that post - not really. All online services have the occasional downtime of a few days here and there, be it because of general maintenance, server crashes, of hacks like this one.

Just got an email about Michaels stores getting hacked in Chicago. Now I need to cancel my debit card. (CC terminals)
Also Deus Sites get hacked:
http://www.destructoid.com/deus-ex-sites-hacked-80-000-registered-users-at-risk-201049.phtml
This is just how life is going to be these days.
If its not Sony its someone else getting hacked.
I think most gamers, especially PS3 owners were a bit shellshocked at first over this, but you hit the nail on the head, really. This is how it is now, since we're so reliant on digital payment processing systems for everything. For every 48,000bit encryption scheme some security firm might come up with, there's at least one nutball hacker or disgruntled ex employee who knows how to crack it.
Sucks.
But it's better than getting held up at gunpoint for your cash. At least we can get new numbers/cards when bad stuff happens, and it's all insured.

Here's something I don't really understand:
Some of the reports of PSN breach/customer data stolen are saying there were over 100 Million+ PSN accounts stolen.
To date, Sony has only sold 50 million PS3's world-wide.
Why do so many people have redundant accounts?
-
Yeah, it looks like what I said when someone first posted the link to Best selling these a while ago. They took the Easier 7800 composite video mod instructions a few of us worked on, and started selling them put together. Sadly, it seems they aren't checking their work. Not all console revisions play nicely where the video tap and +5v locations on the mother board are concerned. Bummer.

I just wonder how much money this is all costing them. People can't rent movies on Qriocity, people can't buy anything on PSN, they're going to have to extend credit to everyone that has Playstation Plus and any pay MMORPG. It's going to take awhile for people to even WANT to buy anything on those services again, game sales will be down, they're going to have class action lawsuits to deal with, and they're going to have to pay to secure their network.
Microsoft's $1 billion write off for RROD doesn't look so bad right now, especially considering their online service is a cash cow, not free.
And all of this makes sense coming from a former employee on the way out the door perspective.

So I guess your irrational anger issues over silly internet video gaming opinoins, and the emotional turmoil you demonstrated in all of your exchanges with me are hereditary issues?
Nice.
Something told me when you were the very next message to check what was going on. I'm glad now that there is an option to view the message anyway. What I find is more then the trolling I expected, I find you insulting my family. Please pretend like you weren't. You often insult and then say it was nothing personal. Insulting another members family is going to far.
I really hope that other members are willing to say so as well. I'm very sorry that this has made it to yet another thread. I tried to get over your childish crap, but the first time I try to look behind that ignore sign I find you insulting my family.
I love AtariAge with you being the only exception. I can't believe you are still allowed here after all the trolling you do, and now there is this.
You brought up your brother, and bragged about how he would get violent about lack of CoD online play if this happened to his 360. You did that, not me or anyone else. If you don't want people to think this is true about him, why did you post it here?
I can only play the cards I'm dealt here, man.
I merely pointed out that if what you said about your brother is true, then it's apparent that anger issues over video games tend to run in you family. Based on the way you've trolled around behind me like a lost puppy for the last 3 weeks trying to get the last word in or toss out some offhanded insult in my direction, pretending you have me on ignore, yet reading and responding to nearly every single post I make that you take issue with.
Maybe video games aren't for you, since you're clearly not enjoying this. I'm not the one here with a username that includes the word "hateful".

those employees HACKED the psn, making them HACKERS. dont tell me otherwise, thats bull.
But they were not PS3 hackers who were pissed off about the removal of OtherOS or the lawsuits about jailbreaking - as everyone assumed/griped about.
They were soon to be unemployed Sony staff who were pissed off about being unemployed. They didn't "Hack" anything. They had fully granted legitimate access to the servers and data. Technically, they didn't actually "hack" anything. Hacking implies they broke in and circumvented security. They were already allowed access as part of their jobs. They just trashed their former workplace on the way out the door.

The triple post, very impressive.
There are all kinds of rumors going around about who started this. After reading that quote Mendon posted I started looking around a bit and found a bunch of crazy people making all kinds of statements about this deal. I can't see how Sony is going to find these people, much less prove they did this in a court of law. If they are good enough to pull this I would hope they are good enough to know how to hide who they are while they do it.
Its not really Sony the people that did this need to worry about anyway, its the angry PS3 owners. Even worse, the people that play CoD on PSN. Lord, my brother only plays CoD on 360, if that went away like this he might just snap. I would hate to run into an angry mob of FPS fans is I was the asshat that killed PSN.
Nice.

Well the story goes that they were operating from a rented out AT&T data center in southern California, but were planning on moving the entire operation to a larger, Sony owned facility. And the Layoffs were all the techs who worked at the AT&T location who were no longer needed. But it came to them as a shock, rather than a planned thing. They strung them along and only took a few figureheads with them to the new facility. So when the about to be laid off staff found out, a plan was hatched to throw a monkey wrench into the works. And the timing of "Anon"'s DDOS attack in support of Geohot the week before was just the sort of covering fire they needed to pull it off and have the blame be directed elsewhere. That's why Sony was completely clueless as to what happened, and were not able to get things back online expediently. Only someone with deep tech knowledge of their internal infrastructure and backup systems could take them out and KEEP them out this long.
Can you post a link to where your info is coming from? I've checked Yahoo, AOL, and several gaming sites and see no stories reporting this.

Anything to make it look like homebrewers had nothing to do with this.Still all butthurt from me not being nice enough to you in a PM? I thought you had me on ignore? Liar.

And more over here:
-
The first day it was announced that their network could have been hacked me and my close friend did the same thing. We simply picked up the phone, called our CC company and had them send us a new card. (Which means the account is immediately closed and a new account opened and the card mailed to you).
Take no chances.
Underball:
There's different types of hackers. Those that hack for fun. Those that hack to steal and some that do both.
In this case they should be jailed.
I think when they announced that they were physically moving locations that maybe it was something internal or maybe ex employee's etc.
Yes, there are different types of hackers. And just like with all kinds of people, the ratio of benevolent to vindictive is about on par with anything else. the vast majority just like to learn how it all works. It's a knowledge quest, with no ill or criminal intentions. It's about learning, figuring it all out. Reverse engineering. What they do is akin to stealing a grape from the produce section of a supermarket.
Whereas the hackers who do so with the intent to steal or other damaging criminal activity - are the extreme minority. But like any other kind of moral prejudice, the mostly ignorant populace only sees the bad (or worse - what they see or read in the news, which is slanted and woefully uninformed), and paints the entire lot of them with the same brush. Not unlike racism, sexism, or class warfare.
Hackers (Geohot) jailbroke the iPhone. The US Justice Department agreed with them.
I can see what your saying...if some ex-Sony staff did it then I have a feeling they really don't care about stealing anything except possibly to cause some grief to management. Which I dont mind actually. Last week I really was hoping that the grand puppet would be axed, Kaz Hirai. Ken Kutaragi is probably laughing at the whole thing. He became a Kaz Hirai though before he got the axe from Sony so I cant say that I liked him either in his later years.
(They dont really fire big wigs in Japan, they usually have them "take another role" and later gracefully leave. I work for a Japanese printing press company)
I bet there is some strife from within. I have to admit. Being a tech myself, if management came to me and said..."remove the OtherOS and PS2 chip from future consoles" I would be like "What? Are you nuts?"

I just find it hilarious that certain people on this site, and elsewhere on the internet think this was the work of homebrewers running emulators, and dudes downloading pirated backups off torrent sites.
