I don't own a psp, but my best friend does, and from my experience, here are the major problems with it.
1. Games. Being that there isn't a huge library for it already (like GBA for the DS, or ps1 games on the ps2), the selection is pretty slim. There are a few excellent games, but mostly crap.
2. Texture. The thing is glossy, it's hard to hold and gets greasy/dirty extremely easily
3. Durability. It's a sony product, it's not like they're known for having excellent build quality, endurance. (and if it breaks, it's not like they care much.)
4. It's made by Sony. They have a really bad track record and don't seem to particularly care about their fan-base.
5. Load times, I've heard some games can take up to 4 minutes to load. That is INSANE. This crippled the Neo*Geo CD and a few other early cd-based systems. No game should ever have more than 60 seconds, 30 seconds should be average (with an entertaining load screen.)
I've heard people complain about battery life, but it's not that big of a deal. I'd say most people that use a psp don't play it for hours on end, they play it for a few minutes or maybe an hour at a time. I suppose this is another downfall of the psp games as well, they're made for extended play times, but most people just want a quick game fix and go.

I'm just waiting for the FI localization for Firefox 2.
Once you start to use Firefox and Thunderbird, you don't go back to IE or Outlook. Ever.
Why not do the localization yourself?
-
No EA games for me either, thanks.

Not the first small company Sony has killed off, certainly not the last.

I hate closed-source emulators
They make me think the author has something to hide... -
No problem with arcades here, I've got a couple here (Kalamazoo), and a nice [dirty] one back home in Jackson.

I desperately miss my Sega Genesis
I had a nes and GB back in the day, but I just don't miss them the same. -
Well since the EU is such a big happy family, just visit a nearby country and get it there.
not only that, pick up a few to sell on the way.

I think it's just a joke. MAME Plus Plus lol

Went to my parent's house with my sister, they took us out to a nice dinner, it was damn good. I like Friday the 13th tons

Sounds sexy as hell. I want a ds flash cart
Gotta save money for the Wiiiii though ^^ -
The fact that you can view the source and download the nes rom is certainly enough for me to say it's against the rules ^^

He says he is has a 1.8 Ghz system and seems to know little or nothing technical about the system. I highly doubt this is anything more than a photochopped hoax.
-
Horribly, Horribly illegal. Copyright violations left and right, and I doubt the guy running the page actually wrote the emulator.
-
I use Winamp now, but I use to use Sonique, and before that K-jofol.
In the meantime, I have tried Quintessential Player, Coolplayer, itoones, and Foobar, and haven't really liked any of them.

If you've got a decent pc, yes.

- Dipswitch corrections for superinv, invadrmr, sinvemag, spceking, spacewr3
- Remove extraneous beeping noise from indianbt
Nice work Rob!
-
I'd suggest using an emulator like MAME or FBA (FBA if you have a slower system)
-
I really enjoy this show, but they never answer any questions -- ever. Every season just makes you ask more questions.

Added crc info for the AES version of 'Metal Slug 4'.
This is very interesting. Too bad we have to wait until either A. Someone purchases 2.3 and dumps it. or B. 2.4 comes out. to actually get our hands on this release.

Nice to see 1emu back! Thanks Miskie and Gamecop!

- fixed lamps in upright and cocktail modes
- getrivia.c: fixed sound in selection and clone
- located ticket out bit in trivia games and commented it in both drivers.
- fixed merge collision from u5
Input port cleanup and additional comments in the CPS1 driver. [steph]
Fixed ES5503 behavior for voice volumes > 127 (cures missing sounds/music notes in several Apple IIgs demos and games). [R. Belmont]
Made MSC1937 operation more accurately match datasheet and wiring diagram. Added indexed getters to the output system to match the newly introduced setters. [El Condor]
Changed input port calculations to go in two passes, to catch out-of-order conditionals properly. [HobbesAtPlay]
Fixed priorities in the m62 driver, mainly affecting Lode Runner sequels. [robiza]
Fixed PNG code so that it doesn't NULL terminate tEXt chunks. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
Changed disassembler override callbacks to match new disassembler syntax. [Nathan Woods]
Changed artwork loading to be on-demand rather than all up-front. Also added a message during artwork resizing/loading so it's more clear what is going on. [Aaron Giles]
Added new osd function osd_break_into_debugger() which can be hooked to cause a break into the OSD's debugger when an assertion or fatal error occurs. Hooked it up on Windows to do just that. [Aaron Giles]
Normalized exit codes from mame.exe. The core-specific ones are defined in mame.h. The Windows build will also return code 100 on an unhandled exception now. [Aaron Giles]

Alternative to Adobe acrobat?

Does anyone know a good alternative to adobe acrobat reader?
I hate adobe products and how bloated + ad-ridden they are. I'd really like it to be freeware, very small, with a nice gui. However, I can deal with a shareware app, plugin for MS word, or a crap gui.
