Hopefully they wont charge for S3D.

Hah, cool.beast786 said:Features that support the 3D rendering:
- Features that the system displays such as the system software that is displayed when the PS button is pressed during gameplay(GUI), or notification or error messages displayed on the upper right on the screen
missile said:Just a guess.
You have to consider that there are about 25 million phats out there. Usually a
standard OtherOS user isn't that active in various OtherOS related forums do talk
about all the stuff like a pure gamer does in multiple gaming boards at the same
time. I do believe that there a more OtherOS users out there as one might think
there are.
That's the reason I wrote undergraduated project, possibly consisting of 6 to 8 people.
Thanks.Crisis said:Actually Fersis brings up a good point (surprised I said that). Do we know if they're adding anything else to the firmware?
Fersis said:Thanks.
The Custom Soundtrack feature is already on the SDK and several games support it.B1gg_Randall said:I wonder if taking the OtherOS will bring us Cross Game Chat and maybe custom soundtracks...Hmm

Bad Company 2 and SFIV supports it.Prezhulio said:i'd like to know the last game that supported it. killzone 2? every fucking game i buy where i would actually use it, doesn't. even just cause 2, that uses the youtube uploading sdk for christ's sake, doesn't have it. it's a joke of a feature with the "support" it's received.
Yeah I know...But I hate seeing this game doesnt support music or whatever lol I just wish Sony release a update that allow all games to support it..Fersis said:The Custom Soundtrack feature is already on the SDK and several games support it.
Oh Hell yeah..missile said:And Cross Game GAF.
Fersis said:Bad Company 2 and SFIV supports it.
Oh yeah.. ive been told that theres a bug on Bad Company 2 that disables the Custom Soundtrack ... yeah sorry! V__VPrezhulio said:was not aware of bad company 2 using it, once i go back to that in my free time i'll definitely be using it.
what are the odds they'll fix soundtracks for online in ssfiv?

Mudkips said:Let's say you own X and want to do Y (which is specifically unsupported / prohibited).
Morally, the fact that it's "your" hardware is not important if there is any negative effect due to Y on others.
Claiming "Enabling Y is morally okay because I OWN X and can legally enable Y." is faulty reasoning. "I can legally enable Y because I OWN X." and "Doing Y is morally okay because it has no significant negative impact on others." are sound. The morality of Y is determined by Y itself, not by a legal right to enable it.
Otherwise, "I own it, I'll do what I want" would be as valid a defense for pirates, cheaters, pirate radio, the asshole who modified his router firmware to triple the signal strength, the guy running a cell phone jammer, the idiot who disabled safety features on his appliances and burned the neighborhood down, etc. as it is for legit users.
I'm not nitpicking. It's important for companies and governments to recognize our right to enable Y because we own X, and it's just as important for customers to realize that Y's morality (and legality) must stand on it's own, lest we want to see our rights continually assaulted. I'd love to be able to not care about the shit the assholes and idiots do. But they do it, it affects the industry, and that in turn affects me.

JudgeN said:Both of these are fear terms IMO, I personally don't want to live my life in a constant state of fear that something "going" to happen. I mean hell following these examples I wouldn't buy any Activision games (we know they fucked over people), EA games (shutting down online series for games less then a year old), Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and hell a lot of other companies that screw over customers. I also work IT, Ive seen updates take away features, fix broken ones, add features, break perfectly working functions, and etc. Maybe i'm just to laid back to fight the good fight so to speak.

Tell me how that works out for you. That was a really over the top analogy.racerx said:Mudkips, you are truly lame.... As Dragona said, "It's my device, I bought it, I can do what I want with it!"
If I get a hold of enriched uranium, I should be allowed to do what I want with it! In turn, I should be allowed to sell it to anyone I wish. As long as I don't personally kill anyone else with it, I'm in the right. Some people use enriched uranium to make sculptures. If I get a hold of some, that's what I plan to do with them.
And for the record, possession of enriched uranium != making bombs. Mods, anyone who accuses enriched uranium users of making bombs, you should ban them!
Damn the others! No one will over ride my liberty and freedom as a consumer!

bkfount said:pretty much a broad generalization, but even if you run with it, the level of technical know how needed to pirate on the DS is pretty low as well. You don't have to keep up with firmware updates or even do anything other than buy a magical flash card and use a very standard microSD card.

When has the update ever gone live at exactly 0:00 JST? You can never predict these things.missile said:It depend on where you live!
In Japan it's currently 11:36 AM. So you won't have a day left living in close proximity.
The update is expected to go live on April 1, 2010, 0:00 JST.
Edit:
And who says the update won't come a few hours earlier?

That's the reason I wrote expected.VegaShinra said:When has the update ever gone live at exactly 0:00 JST? You can never predict these things.
Could be true. Well, I just wanted to say that there is still stuff in the PSNTTP said:which are ALL of them.
This is a terribly flawed argument.missile said:Only those who rely necessarily on activation.
Edit:
If your are going to use the OtherOS a lot more, then it makes no sense to lose one
of the five activation slots you have, esp. not if your going to buy a slim afterwards just
for gaming. The thing is, you won't be able to deactivate your PS3 once the update is
up without sacrificing the OtherOS feature.

racerx said:Actually, that's not entirely true. Maybe like 70% true, if one could do percentages like that.
If you import media that was meant for regions other than yours, you are bypassing licensing agreements and royalty fees meant for your region. Essentially, you are engaging in "theft".
Of course, if the media version in your region doesn't exist - like for some weird foreign movie, than no "theft" is being done.
Can you elaborate?Megadragon15 said:This is a terribly flawed argument.
Why would you deactivate a fully working PS3? It still can be used for games (that don't require the update). You are treating it like it is defective.missile said:Can you elaborate?
You can't deactivate your PS3 without being signed-in into the PSN.
But once the update is up you can't sign-in any longer without updating since
the new firmware is mandatory. And if you update, your OtherOS feature is
gone.
