  1. There is the memory card exploit but I don't know how to get it on the memory card without swap disc or mod chip. I heard the exploit could be installed with a Action Replay but I never tried it. I think any disc method including AR would require some type of case modding. Breaker Pro and a flip top case mod worked for me.


  2. ...They can co-exist, you know. The PS2/Gamecube "situation" is that Nintendo turns a consistent profit while Sony doesn't always do so. And last I checked, PSP didn't play DS or GBA games out of the box!

     

    Maybe UMD sales will subsidize PSP game development.

    Well that's what I was saying. I could see the DS having a loyal fanbase while the PSP becomes the more mainstream handleheld once the prices comes down. Still I also remember hearing the NS was never meant to be the successor the Gameboy. As a bonus PSP can play new games and do emulation as long as your firmware is 2.0 or lower.

  3. I think it's something new with PSP whether people want to admit it or not. I know at least 5 people over the age of 25 who now own a PSP after seeing my PSP in action. These are all people who would have never bought a handheld as adults. The general consensus was while they like playing consoles they didn't care for the handheld experience until PSP. One person did buy it for the web browser and movies on memory stick first and games 2nd.


  4. Once the PSP price comes down I don't see how DS will continue to compete with it. The typical Madden/GTA/Halo player would go almost PSP over a DS everytime and they make up a big if not the biggest part of the gaming market today. DS will always have it's fans and some good games I'm sure, but I could see a PS2/Gamecube situation if the PSP was $150 and DS was $75.


  5. I think Sony is doing fine. I know this is nothing offical but it seems every parent I know with a child who's at least 12 years old and plays videogames is getting them a PSP for Christmas. I know some adults who are receiving as gifts too. It's clear to me the lack of available 360s is going to help Sony this Christmas.


  6. This goes back to a phrase I know to be true, people will believe what they want to believe.  If they want to believe a game looks like real life then they will, even if it really doesn't.

    I too get sick of the it look like real life statements on video games. We all know what real life looks like and no video game looks like that yet. I'm betting it'll be at least a decade before we see something just like reality on a console. I remember my uncle saying Fifa on 3DO looked like real life soccer back in 1994. It's funny to think someone could make that statement on that game today.


  7. Hard Driving for the Lynx. I remember thinking of it like a driving similator getting me reading for my road test when it was in the arcades. Other games I like a lot that may or may not be guilty pleasures are:

     

    5200 - Kaboom

    NES - Marble Madness

    Gameboy - Any Castlevania game

    Genesis - Altered Beast

    SNES - Looney Toons B-Ball

    PS1 - Devil Dice

    SMS - Space Harrier

    Dreamcast - Virtua Tennis

    PS2 - Ready 2 Rumble Round 2

     

    last but that least the Virtual Boy and all it's games except Waterword. I'm color blind and I love it!


  8. My dad bought a Pong that I 1st remember playing when I was about 5 in 1978. It started there. My parents divorced 3 year laters and my mom bought me an Atari 2600 not too long after that. After the 2600 my mom was anti-video games but that dad went on to buy me a Vetrex, NES and Sega Master System. I was buying my own system Genesis and later. To my mom's credit she did buy me a couple of those Coleco table-tops and some Game and Watches as well as some of the other portable electronic games before she become so anti-gaming. Luckily for me my dad picked up the slack although he was probably trying to annoy my mom while making me happy at the same time.


  9. I played the game for a few minutes at EB when it was on the GC. Seemed kind of fun. I have a PS2, so maybe one day I'll be able to rent it so I can play the whole thing. I hope it has cheats in case I have trouble with any frustrating parts. Glad to know it doesn't look that much worse than the GC version.

    There are no cheats, non of the up up down down kind, you're just going to need skill.

    Don't worry. This can easily be rented and beat in less than a week. It can be challenging at times but it's never overlly difficult or fustrating. Although you'll probably want to play it more than once.


  10. I'm still surprised there is any backward compatibility at all.  Emulation usually takes massive CPU power compared to the original - and emulating a PC P3 733 processor based system in any meaningful way is no easy feat.

    The 360 in basically a really powerful computer being sold as a console. I mean three 3.2 Ghz PowerPC processors is pretty impressive for any computer nevermind a console ringing in at $400.


  11. I received my 1st N64 from a friend who had two of them a few months ago. It's a great system with many AAA exclusive titles. I finally bought Killer Instinct and Super Smash Bros. for mine this weekend. However most of it's multi-platform title have been done better on other systems.
