Why copy a PlayStation 3 game?

Anyone with a PS3 doubtless knows just how painful it can be to find that one of their expensive game discs has been scratched and basically turned into a nearly $50 drink coaster. This is generally when consumers start down the path the begins with learning the way to backup games with PS3 game copy software and regularly ends with the discovery of the amazing arena of PS3 homebrew. For those who are not familiar with the term homebrew, you are in a very welcome treat but before debating PS3 homebrew it’s critical to cover the basics of how to copy, burn and backup PS3 games.

What about game copy software for the PlayStation 3?

There are countless game copy software suites on the market and it seems that not much of a day can go by without some new upstart joining the fray. While there are a few prominent names in this arena, it is always important to look for the most recent and greatest offerings because the copy protection schemes on PS3 games develop constantly. Purchasing and / or downloading a trial game copy software package today does not definitely mean that one will be ready to use this same software to copy games released tomorrow, the week after next or next month. It could be possible the developer is keeping their code up to date, but there are never any guarantees.

While each program and software suite is unique, all of them have many likenesses. Using just about any modern software package to backup games is very like backing up anything more : start the program, insert the disc into a compatible ( DVD or Blu Ray depending upon the title ) drive and click on copy. A dialog box will appear asking where the file should be saved to and then the copy process will begin. The time period it takes to copy games is firmly related to the dimensions of the game ( art assets, code, etc . ) and the velocity of the drive. Quicker drives can make shorter work of larger games and may be worth the additional investment for anyone looking to copy games on a common basis.

The PlayStation3 game is copied, now what?

Once the PS3 game has been copied to a hard drive or other storage medium one can potentially use these files to burn PS3 games into discs. This can glaringly require owning a compatible burner. There are specialized burners that will actually burn PS3 games that will run on PS3 consoles without any hacks or ‘mods’ ( also known as chipping ) but they tend to be extraordinarily expensive. Some software engineered to burn PS3 games can fool some consoles, but not all consoles, especially not the newer PS3 Slim which many are claiming has newer and better copy protection technology than its predecessors.

What about homebrew for the PlayStation 3?

Knowing how to copy PS3 games and burn PS3 games are both important abilities for anybody planning on checking out the PS3 homebrew scene. This is really because using a PS3 to play homebrew games almost universally requires burning a PS3 homebrew installer to a disc. Typically the same disc will also have PS3 homebrew content which can range between games people essentially made or modified by themselves to any amount of emulators that let the PS3 to run classic games from other platforms such as NES, SNES, SEGA Genesis, N64 and such like.

The attraction of PS3 homebrew is twofold : it lets those with a talent for programing to express themselves thru games and it also allows classic games to be run without the purchase of hard-to-find and frequently dear classic gaming hardware. It is worth noting that while the PS3 homebrew scene is kind of nascent it does not seem to have the momentum that the PSP and PS2 homebrew crowded enjoyed.

Running PS3 Hombrew and Coping PS3 Games is a very easy process with the right tools!

GBA and NDS Nintendo games

In early 2003, Nintendo upgraded the Game Boy Advance giving it an internal front-light that can be turned on or off, a rechargeable lithium ion battery, as well as a folding case approximately half the original size. It was designed to address some common complaints with the original Game Boy Advance which was criticized for being very uncomfortable. The Game Boy Advance SP also came with a new and much brighter LCD screen for improved playability.

Around the same time as the release of the Game Boy Micro, Nintendo released a new backlit version of the SP in North America (commonly referred to as the “GBA SP+”). The switch that controls the light now toggles between “normal” (which itself is already brighter than the original Game Boy Advance SP’s screen), and “bright,” an intense brightness level similar to an LCD television set.

In September 2005, Nintendo released a second redesign of the Game Boy Advance. This model, dubbed the Game Boy micro, is similar in style to the original Game Boy Advance’s horizontal orientation, but is much smaller and sleeker. The Game Boy micro also allows the user an ability to switch between several colored faceplates to allow customization, a feature which Nintendo advertised heavily around the Game Boy micro’s launch. Nintendo also hoped that this “fashion” feature will help target audiences outside of typical video game players, much like its new Wii. Unlike the previous Game Boy Advance models, Game Boy micro is unable to support Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles.

Nintendo’s competitors in the handheld market were the Neo Geo Pocket Color, Bandai Swan Crystal, Game Park 32, Tapwave Zodiac and the Nokia N-Gage. Despite the competitors’ best efforts, Nintendo maintained its majority market share with the Game Boy Advance.

To date, Nintendo has sold 80,500,000 GBA units around the world. Over half of those in the Americas and 16 million in Japan at second place.

The Game Boy Advance has become the modern flagship of sprite-based games. With hardware superior to the Super NES it has proven that sprite-based technology could improve and live side by side with the 3D games of today’s consoles. The Game Boy Advance not only has one’s typical platformers, but also a huge collection of SNES-style RPGs. It has also become a popular system for old-school gamers due to the increasing amount of games ported from various 8-bit and 16-bit systems of the previous era. Through the use of flash cartridges and emulators the Game Boy Advance can even play NES and TurboGrafx-16 games, as well as AGI-based Sierra On-Line PC adventure games.

Nintendo owners enjoy a huge selection of Nintendo games from Sport, Action and Adventure to Simulation, Strategy and Edutainment.

The best selling game of all times is Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, Released in March 2003 was sold at over 13 million copies.

An updated list of all GBA games can be found on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_Boy_Advance_games

Nowadays you can find many websites that sell Nintendo games online, where you can also find rare classics in affordable prices and games that are mostly unreachable in stores.

My personal favorite, “Games – advance” is an online store with, by far, the largest online selection of both new releases and rare classics and both original and 3rd party Nintendo accessories. Prices are very reasonable and the selection is huge. You can check them out at: www.games-advance.com

Nintendo System-wii the Revolution Has Begun

Nintendo System Wii The Revolution Has Begun

Though I haven’t really been a video game lover for years, and I hadn’t tried the new Nintendo System Wii I did teach myself some of the finer concepts of playing “actual” tennis, from playing David Cranes tennis on an old Nintendo Console, many years ago. I figured out the specifics of spin, and curving the balI on the “real” tennis court from playing a video game!

Though that’s really the only game I’ve ever played to any extent, I was excited when my daughter came to visit me, and brought her brand new Nintendo System Wii with her!

I now regard myself a 100% Nintendo Wii convert! As I read my first limited review on the new Nintendo System Wii, I found myself questioning the motion-reactive controls (the remote control and nunchuck) and the wand that you needed to locate in front or on top of the television set. Not only that, but reports of the Nintendo System Wii graphics seemed abominable.

Would the Nintendo System Wii be able to contend in a video game domain where, whenever you are performing NBA 2007 on a Playstation 2, you can see the perspiration droplets on Shaq’s realistic facial expression?

The Nintendo System Wii comprises a diminutive and noiseless console and fits virtually anyplace. The Playstation 3 comparitively is immense and is more difficult to hide. Sony has made some odd choices when it comes to their flagship console, and it lacks the innovation of the Nintendo System Wii, in so many ways, aesthetically as well as in function. Nintendo System Wii has it over Sony in almost every department.

In spite of my reluctance regarding the Nintendo System Wii wand/remote, there is zero awkwardness or discombobulation regarding them. The remote control and nunchuck controls are logical, and the Nintendo System Wii provides oodles of on-screen direction just in case you ever become befuddled. The Playstation 3 on the other hand provides no equal controller or progressive simplicity of use.

Nintendo System Wii should be commended for bringing out a $300 game console that does not forget a whole generation of users behind. The Nintendo System Wii arrives set up to play all GameCube games and includes concealed ports for GameCube controls. Although Sony didn’t make the mistake of backwards compatability, this is one of the issues with Xbox, many of the newer games don’t play properly on Xbox 360.

The Nintendo System Wii is sinking in to our culture in many ways, apart from the ease of use of the Nintendo System Wii, there are so many other great facets to it. The fact that there is the potential to burn calories and work up a sweat, is a revolution in itself. There are companies out there now devising Public Rooms you will be able to rent for parties, that are set up for the ultimate Nintendo System Wii experience. I’ve also seen reports of Fitness Centers putting Nintendo System Wii systems in for their clients to use as a warmup before their workout.

All in all the Nintendo System Wii is set to revolutionize society as no game console has done before.

Computer Gaming Versus Console Gaming

By Game_Master Posted in Computer Game | Comments Off

There has always been an ongiong debate as to which form of gaming consoles offer you the best quality and performance.The main debate being between the use of computers or colsoles such as Xbox 360,playstation (1,2,3),nintendo wii and so forth.Now most gamers will go on and tell you that it is more worthwile to use console systems than computers due to the apparent plug and play ease of use.But lets take a look below at the advantages and disadvantages between computer gaming and console gaming.

1. Installation of Game

One major advantage of the sony,xbox and nintendo console systems is the fact that it is all about plug and play.No need to worry about having to wait 30 minutes to install a 5 gigabyte game on a hardrive with the possibility that there might be compatability issues.This is where console systems have a major advangate over computer systems.

2 Graphics quality

This section is highly debatable.Many people including myself will tell you that the graphics offered by computers for gaming can be far superior to that of sony playstation,xbox and nintendo.This is obviously due to the fact that pc graphics cards like GeForce and ATI have large amounts of video ram which allows games to have sharper images and run faster.And there is always a continous entrance of new and improved graphics cards to the mrket each year.With console systems,you have to make do with what you are given.There is no possibility of upgrading.So the computer probably wins this battle,but then again it is debatable.

3.Performance of Games

Now lets start with the computer.We all know that the performance of your game is directly affected by the quality of your pc.By quality I mean amount of RAM,CPU,Hard Drive size,video card and drivers.The higher your PC specs are, the better the game can look and play.The major disadvantage here is that computers and gaming applications can be prone to viruses,corrupted or missing files and general sluggishness due to cluttered hard drives.The popular console systems like playstation,xbox and nintendo take advantage here in that they have hardly any performance issues apart from the rare freeze (In my experience).

4. Modifications

The great thing about playing games on your computer is that you can make modifications to your game via downloading of patches,add ons or general updates which can possbibly fix and enhance the performance of your game.With console systems however, once again you are stuck with what you have.This is probably no such a great factor because if you buy a particular game,any updated available for computer will not change the game in such a big way.

5. Availability of Games

Lets face it, all of the games that are available on PC are not all available on the other console systems.This again is another great advantage of computer systems.

So there are my five comparisions with the advantages and disadvantages between the two types of gaming platforms.People will agree and some will disagree about those factors and others not ,but at the end of the day you just have to choose the platform which appeals to you the most.Personally I like PC’s because of the sharp graphics and wide availability of games,but like I said It’s up to you.

The most frequent cause of the PS3 ylod is caused by overheating which causes damage to internal hardware of the PS3, most notably, the motherboard. Gamers may have noticed that the PS3’s fan sounds louder than normal and will feel hot to the touch. These are indications that a ylod is in the near future. You can take preventive steps if you do see this happening as you can avoid getting the ylod all together.

Just so you know, your PS3 needs to have proper ventilation to work properly and prevent the console from overheating. With many users placing their PS3 flat on the ground or up against something that block the fan vents which is made to cool the PS3 down and prevent overheating. Also many gamers don’t know that you have to clear off the dust so it doesn’t accumulate and block off the vent as well. The air flow is incredible important for keeping the system cool.

Once all the dust is off the PS3 and place in a non obstructed area there are couple of quick things we can try to get the PS3 ylod repaired.

Disconnect the power adapter from the PS3 for about 30 minutes then reconnect it.

Take the Hard Drive out of the PS3 and then put it back in. Check all of the wires of the PS3 and make sure that they are inserted in their respective slots firmly. A good trick is to take the hard drive from someone who you know their PS3 is working. This will tell you very quickly if replacing the hard drive will fix the yellow light of death. Most of the time it is not that simple and the internal hardware of the PS3 is damaged. This gives you two options: Send it to Sony for repairs or learn how to fix the PS3 ylod yourself.

Taking on the task of fixing the PS3 yourself will allow you to enjoy the PS3 much quicker and save a lot of money.

The History Of Arcade Games

By Game_Master Posted in Arcade Game | Comments Off

Gaming today is a recognized element of our cultural scenery, even to people who are over thirty or who can barely recall the time before arcade games were invented. Gone are the days when you would play Pac-Man or the famous Mario Brothers game. Although they are still played and enjoyed today, they have been enhanced into dimensional games and versions. People will never forget the old games and that’s a good thing because there is a history here that shouldn’t be forgotten.

Gaming is not a recent breakthrough. Arcade games began many years ago. They weren’t as acceptable as they are now. Artifacts from Egypt and Sumeria have revealed that our ancestors enjoyed playing board games thousands of years ago.

The electronic games we have now required the creation of electronic computers. The early computers were slow and prone to failures. Early programmers felt obliged to waste their time by programming these computers to do things like tic-tac-toe. When World War II ended, electronic computers started becoming standard equipment in the more progressive laboratories. Soon afterwards, they were incorporated with large corporations, establishments and companies. It can be argued that university students were the first game programmers, exploring their fantasies and sci-fi visions into digital applications which we are still using. Their imaginations have turned gaming into a digital masterpiece.

The perception of establishing an electronic game system to the screen or the television was invented by Ralph Bauer during the early 1950’s. This made the first game possible. After that, he introduced and presented his ideas to Magnavox, a television company. The company liked his ideas and inventions so well that they have released a sophisticated version of Bauer’s “Brown Box” prototype, known as the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972. By today’s standards, the Odyssey was prehistoric, displaying only spots of light on the screen. It also required the use of translucent plastic overlays to replicate the appearance of the game.

The first truly popular console system was known as the Atari 2600. It was released in 1977. The Atari made use of plug-in cartridges in order to play a variety of games. The popularity of Space Invaders was a breakthrough and it became a best seller during that time. The computer games written for the TRS-80 and Apple II computers were attracting interest at this time.

There are several books and articles about the history of arcade games.
