    they particularly shine on surfaces that are undrivable with rubber. most of the prime space in my house is smooth tiles and my z’s got a lot more use once i had foams fitted. i was using hard ones as well…

    i just viewed the ausmicro site via my psp, unfortunatly couldnt post because i needed to log in on a pop up and psp is pop up unfriendly…

    i did get a photo of it though! i should get it up on the web by the weekend… ausmicro on the psp in bed= awesome!

    this is what i hoped for 10 years ago when i imagined what 2005 would be like. oh, that kyosho mini-z awd vid converted into mp4 looks amazing on psp… great entertainment while having a smoke…

    ok bithed, what are these dubious umd’s going to cost us aussies?

    ok, after downloading that vid of them in action and converting it to mp4 and watching it on the psp while smoking a ciggy i became highly excited!

    screw the chassis set, Aaron i want that white ready-set you have on pre order and i want it a.s.a.p! a fourth working controller could come in handy down the road!

    damn that drift action looked sweet as!

    oh and that battery pack i mentioned. it doesnt charge the battery but acts like an auxillery power source when the psp battery is too low to run things… nimh aaa’s kept the system going for an extra 2 hours last night… works like a charm!

    yes, psp version 2.0 has been cracked. a 1.5 downgrader is available but the added features of 2,0 are making users want homebrew on that system.

    at the moment the exploit uses the picture buffer memeory to use the programs, such as file sharing using the picture sending feature. its in early days so far and sony are expected to release a 2.1 version to combat it.

    gta liberty city stories is on its way soon as well… 21st to be exact… 7 modes of multiplay.

    going by the excelent multiplayer dgs,pete and i had on saturday night ill be definatly after the fun of gta…

    haha! it wasnt necisary at all dave! but really, after 4 hours of searching the web i came to the conclusion that if the homebrew applications cant get into version 2.0 then there is something wrong. that and 1.52 (which is what our systems had on it when we bought them) doesnt have any homebrew applications either so why not grab the new added features right now.

    dave, none of them are genuine sony usb cables. you cant get them yet. the one im keeping can suck power from the usb interface. i have two spare that dont power up the psp and your welcome to have one for free.

    ive unlocked ascension league and one classic track so far, and 2 more zone mode tracks.

    have you checked out the extras/teasers section of the disk and had a go at fired up yet?

    remember that wipeout pure has a sendable demo of pure and fired up.

    meaning that only one copy of the game is required to download the demos via wi-fi to the second system. the demos are multiplayer as well.

    nooo!

    that is quite a drop indeed!

    you just have to come up to sydney to have a go on the foam track with this thing Aaron, see if all this fancy kit can outperform my supra!

    i got one of the usb power cables panda, it sucks the power from the usb plug on the laptop and feeds it through the standard dc power jack while simultaniuosly connecting (the cord forks into two ends on the psp side) the psp using usb 2.0 via the top jack.

    i have been charging it up using that cord while using the internet and also while watcing dvd’s on the ps2 and using its usb jacks. sweet eh?!

    i did notice that when i used the proper adapter for the power point it charged waaay faster. i thought it might be because i have only charged it up twice.

    3 pixels! wow thats gotta suck! but your right about them not being a problem as they are sooo tiny.

    too late on the update panda, i jumped in and did it. after searching around for anything fancy that would run on 1.52 and coming up with nothing i thought why not jump in the deep end and wait untill someone cracks 2.0.

    some of the new features where more picture formats are recognised, a web browser, wallpaper option for any of the stored pc and the ability to wirelessly send pics to other psp’s.

    mypsp now has some tasteful naked young lass posing in high definition widescreen as its wallpaper.

    that golf game sounds fun, is there a party play mode? like multyplay on one system taking turns?

    heres some little reviews for the two games i have:

    wipeout pure is so damned pretty it makes my eyes bleed (well almost!). today i reached the third racing class and it hammers along without skipping a beat. im sure in the higher up leagues when a pile up and lots of weapons go off it will slow down a bit but i dont mind that. kinda reminds me of old school gaming when really intense moments when the old megadrive couldnt take the pace and had to slow everything into slo mo. zone mode returns and now the zone mode tracks (ive unlocked 2 now so i have 3) resemble the proto type tracks from wipeout 3 special edition on ps1. tron on amphetamines really! the music is great but sometimes just doesnt pump like the old 2097 did.

    need for speed is basicly underground 2 on ps2 without the driving in between events. almost everything is in there and its great for variety of different racing and purty cars to do up. i have an mx-5 and a celica at the moment. cant wait to see some nicer vehicles unlock. the only gripe ve got so far is that the drift events have changed drasticly, you know have a large warehouse space that has poles in it and big wedges light up that are the ‘drift zones’ that have to be drifted over. the free style drift element from underground on ps2 is no more *cries*.

    a few more questions panda: where do i transfer mp4 videos onto the psp file on the mem. stick? i managed to make a photo file and save suff onto it but movies are beyond me.

    what fancy stuff have you got running on your system and what OS is yours running on?
