Calling All Game Console Aficionados


Recommended Posts

Just wondering how many of you guys here play console games?

I know Hstnasia owns PS2, PS3 and Wii and I think PSP too.

OB? Do you own any console? PSP perhaps?

As you know, I own most of the consoles, maybe except PS1 and Xbox (1st generation).

I would love to start a games corner where we discuss on console games, etc. :D

Well, I hang around the public forum more. Did not know that there are gamers here.

I own the following:

XBOX

Dreamcast

PSOne

PS2

PSP

Nintendo DSL

Used to own

NES - too old

SNES - too old

Sega Genesis - too old

GBA - Stolen

Now playing the legacy games on emulators.

My favourite games includes

Final Fantasy IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, X

ChronoTrigger

Parasite Eve

Brave Fencer Musashi

Onimusha

Devil May Cry

Xenogear

Nowadays, mostly playing my PSP and NDSL as I am on the road most of the time. Replaying FFIV advance, FFV advance, FFVI advance on NDSL and FFVII and FFIX on PSP together with LuminesII, and Exit.

Have been thinking about the 3rd gen consoles, but recently am on a tight budget, so probably hold off the purchase until the prices drop further.

we should organize a gamer gathering

those with PSP come together to do wifi challenge (eg Ridge racer)

those with newer Wii or PS3 bring so that the rest of us can drool...

of coz we need a place that has TV (best HD) so that we can hook up the system...

Just curious...when they say you have to use transfer cable to transfer whatever games/videos or music to your PSP, does it refer to the cable that is used by the sony cameras also? Not the Sony HP cables right?

Getting very 'gian' to buy 1 PSP now......so just trying to find out more....thanks..

i not sure about what cable Sony camera provide, but I know I have to separately buy the cable... when you buy the PSP, it is also stated inside the user guide what cable it is... some shop which sells PSP also sell the cable.... like Gamescore, it sells the PSP Special Edition 5-IN-1 Kit which includes the casing, USB cable, wrist strap, UMD case and so on....

(Hmm.... like I am advertising for the shop like that.... :P )

I am not a gamer. Not sure if the following article would be of interest to you guys.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 now able to sniff out illegitimate copies of games

More than a year has passed since the release of the Xbox 360 DVD-ROM firmware hack to allow the play of backup games and bootleg copies. Those with hacked firmware had the ability to play copied games, mostly burned onto dual-layer DVD recordable discs, even online Xbox Live.

For a while, it seemed that such firmware modifications were undetectable by Microsoft – but that appears to have all changed with the latest Xbox 360 system software released last week.

Word came from the Xbox 360 hacking community that the Spring Update may have the ability to detect those who were playing copied games. More specifically, the system software would be able to determine the legitimacy of the disc in the DVD drive, not necessarily targeting any specific method of modification.

As a pre-emptive measure, hackers released updated disc drive firmware introducing various features, such as disc jitter, in an effort to further the exploit. Such efforts, however, appear to be all for naught, as report on Xbox-Scene indicates that Microsoft is now banning from Xbox Live users with modified DVD-ROM drives, regardless of firmware version.

The banning measures appear to have started alongside the release of the Halo 3 beta, perhaps in what is best described as a crackdown on Crackdown bootlegged copies that contained Halo 3 beta access. Just as it did during the original Xbox days, Microsoft is permanently banning modified consoles from connecting to Xbox Live, but not the user account.

Microsoft acknowledges its new initiative with an entry in its Gamerscore Blog: “As part of our commitment to our members, we do not allow people that we have detected to have modified their console to connect to Live. This is an important part of our efforts to try and maintain a fair gaming environment for the large majority of gamers that play by the rules. This topic is more important than ever given the recent release of the Halo 3 beta.”

The blog continues, “As a result, some consumers that try to login to Live who we detect have illegally modified their console will get an error code (Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D) when trying to connect to the service. These users will not have their account automatically banned from LIVE, but they will no longer be able to access the service from the console they modified. We have stated in the past that customers can only enjoy access to the Xbox LIVE community through the use of a genuine, unmodified, Xbox console and we will continue to enforce this rule to ensure the integrity of our service, the protection of our partners and the benefits of our users.”

OB: psst psst, you didn't bring it to me during the Party!

Anyway for more information, the XBOX360 ban applies only to XBOX LIVE, meaning once your console is modified, you will not be able to log into XBOX LIVE, but your Gamertags will still be retained at can only be recovered and played on a non-modified XBOX 360. At the mean time you can still play your games offline with the modified XBOX 360.

I'm playing Blue Dragon in my office now! such a Final Fantasy rip-off... oh well afterall it is by the Father of FF, Sakaguchi san.

But I think not many pple will be interested at the above XBOX news because so far i only know one person in this forum who owns a XBOX 360. Mycocksoft's price for releasing the 360 1 yr ahead? Everyday I receive calls regarding 3 red lights on the gamers' console...
