This has 2 controller ports with a red LED to show which controllers are plugged in. It has a nice clear blue plastic shell along with the same color USB cable. Overall my testing of it over the past few days has gone well. I have been using the Ps1 PiranhaPad by INTERACT( though it can use the Ps2 dualshock) and have had no problems. When I opened it up it took a while for my computer to recognize and find drivers, though it did, also it came with a driver disk, which would not install. I read online the driver disk is for things like the steering wheel, although I do not have a wheel or driving game to test it with yet. This has worked very well on Emulators though. I have currently used it on epsxe 1.7.0 and ZSNES and both worked very well with it, though turning on turbo gave me trouble. I currently have been playing Warriors of Might and Magic and Zombies Ate my Neighbors on it. Also I have heard people say it works with PS3.
Overall I find this a good product as long as you buy the Sony version(there are fakes). It works great with emulators and possibly PS3. So looking at all this I give it a 9/10.
This is considered one of the best PlayStation controller converters
Today Peter Jackson Announced on his facebook that the Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure(yes this is the name) wil now be 3 movies. He said as follows:
"It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.'
We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance. The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.
So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three.
It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, "a tale that grew in the telling."
Ok guys I know its been a while but I've got some info for yall.
1. I got the remote reset working on the NES I modded and put a video about on the blog.
2. I have a NES Satellite right now and am looking into possible uses in modding
3. The OUYA a new game system coming out made to run Android games.
The reason? They say "The console market is pushing developers away. We’ve seen a brain drain: some of the best, most creative gamemakers are focused on mobile and social games because those platforms are more developer-friendly. And the ones who remain focused on console games can’t be as creative as they’d like."
"Developers can offer a free demo with a full-game upgrade, in-game items or powers, or ask you to subscribe."
"OUYA is a new game console for the TV, powered by Android.
We've packed this little box full of power. Developers will have access to OUYA's open design so they can produce their games for the living room, taking advantage of everything the TV has to offer.
"Best of all, OUYA's world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try."
Development?
"Anyone can make a game: every OUYA console is a dev kit. No need to purchase a license or an expensive SDK. It's built on Android, so developers already know how it works. "
Controlers?
"We are designing the controller to be a love letter to console gaming. It will have everything you've learned to love: fast buttons, triggers, laser-precise analog sticks, a D-Pad – and it will have a touchpad for any games making the trek from mobile or tablet to the TV. It'll be just the right weight. We are working with select developers to play-test the controller through development. We call it 'the Stradivarius of controllers,' and we hope developers will be inspired to take gameplay to a new level with it."
Hacking?
"Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty). Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!"
Ok so here is a list of possible Super Hero Movies I know of(not coming out this year):
Marvel:
Uncanny Avengers(rumor) said to have the Avengers and the X-men
Hey guys, I know a few people have been disappointing since patch 1.0.3 but I got some good news here. Bashiok said We recognize that the item hunt is just not enough for a long-term sustainable end-game. There are still tons of people playing every day and week, and playing a lot, but eventually they're going to run out of stuff to do (if they haven't already). Killing enemies and finding items is a lot of fun, and we think we have a lot of the systems surrounding that right, or at least on the right path with a few corrections and tweaks. But honestly Diablo III is not World of Warcraft. We aren't going to be able to pump out tons of new systems and content every couple months. There needs to be something else that keeps people engaged, and we know it's not there right now.
We're working toward 1.0.4, which we're really trying to pack with as many fixes and changes we can to help you guys out (and we'll have a bunch of articles posted with all the details as we get closer), and we're of course working on 1.1 with PvP arenas. I think both those patches will do a lot to give people things to do, and get them excited about playing, but they're not going to be a real end-game solution, at least not what we would expect out of a proper end-game. We have some ideas for progression systems, but honestly it's a huge feature if we want to try to do it right, and not something we could envision being possible until well after 1.1 which it itself still a ways out.
So maybe we will be gettin some good patches. I'll try to keep up with new info.
Hey guys I know I haven't wrote a lot lately(I've been playing a good amount of Diablo 3. I made these videos with chiptune versions of modern songs and thought you might like them so here is one
and this one
well I'll tell yall next time a big retro moment happens here cya.
Ok so just started another blog following a Bible Study I'm in anyone who wants to follow along can go here . I realize not everyone s a Christian and thus I titled this piece like so.
Hey guys I'm sure you have all heard of Microsoft SmartGlass by now. The New app coming out for Apple and Android that lets your "smart" device be used as a remote/give extra info/extra controller it is quite ingenious. But I'm wondering how far the reach will extend. Will it be on "secondary" android devices like the Nook Tablet or will it stick to the primary devices. Will developers take the time to program extra controlls for it or will they let it show lore and such. Will it be something you always want to use or will it flop on its face.Only time can tell. Also if you noticed they called it the year of the Xbox(360) which assured no new consoles would be released any time soon. Yet the Next Generation still looms right over our heads. We know its there and we know it will come down the question is when. I do believe though that the next Xbox will come(be announced) within the next year and that if this lawsuit holds out they may announce even earlier than expected trying to keep the Xbox gaming alive but that's just me. Ill be watchin E3 today and try and give more info and this is Death signing off.
Ok guys so it's my birthday today but that isn't going keep me from posting.
So I wasn't able to get a good price on an Atari 400 power cable, so I made one. I used Kenik KD-627 with a Pro-Lite PT-AD0925D for power.
If you would like to do this yourself you will need:
Tools:
Wire-Cutters
Electrical Tape(if try using other tapes your probably screwed)
Wire Strippers/Pocket-Knife
Soldering Iron(optional)
Solder(optional)
Volt-Meter
Hardware:
5.5X2.1mm Male Barrel Connector(you can cannibalize an old cable or buy just the connector)
A/An Plug/Adapter that outputs 9VAC(It will not work with DC or any more or less volts) at least 1.7Amps(its fine if you use more (mine is 2.5))
Copper Wire (get different colors for + and -)(Optional(recommended))
Instructions(cannibalized):
1. If you can mark the positive and negative wires on your Connector and Plug/ Adapter(if Possible).
2. Cut the wires on both your connector and plug leaving as much wire on as possible.
3.Strip both of the positive wires and twist together then cover with electrical tape. Repeat on the negative.
4.Plug in the power cord/adapter into the wall and Atari 400. Be ready to unplug in an instant. Turn on the Atari 400, if the light comes on good your done if you want to leave it this way and wish to solder skip to step 5B. if not,unplug ASAP and go on to step 5A.
5A.Remove the electrical tape from the wires an untwist them.
6A. Switch the wires over twist together and tape.
7A. Plug in the Atari and turn on if it works your good, you can let it stay like this or go on to 5B. If not you may have problems inside your Atari or power cord/adapter test both with your volt-meter.
5B. Make Sure your Soldering Iron is hot and work-space is ready.
6B.Remove the electrical tape and connect the wires to your preference.
7B. Solder the wires.
8B. Tape each wire so that nothing is exposed.
9B.(Optional) Tape the to wires together. (DO NOT do this before 8B.)
Instructions(Connector):
1.If you can mark the positive and negative wires on your Connector and Plug/ Adapter(if Possible).
2.Cut the current connector off your Plug/Adapter.
3.Make sure your soldering Iron is hot an work place clear.
4. Solder the positive wire to the positive spot on the connector and negative wire to negative spot.(I believe the outside is positive, while the inside is negative)
5. Wrap wires in electrical wire to leave nothing exposed.(other than what plugs in to the Atari)
6.If you wish do step 9B. above.
This should also work for most other Atari 8-bit computers and accessories.
