Media Player Classic

mzaidi — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:23:18 +0800

I'm using Media Player Classic Homecinema which are bundled with K-Lite Mega Codec on my notebook.
I have an LCD Monitor connected to my laptop (so in total I have 2 displays).

The problem I'm having is, whenever I play any video using Media Player Classic (and the built in Windows Media Player), the video will be played back on BOTH screen.

I would like to change the video output to single screen only as I would like to monitor any IM / incoming message on the other monitor.

Anybody know how to do this?

This is how my dual monitor is currently setup. I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3:

I did not change anything yet on my K-Lite Codec & Media Player Classic settings.

Additional info, if it might help:

My notebook screen is 14" with 1440 x 900 resolution.
My external LCD is 17" with 1280 x 1024 resolution.

Nvidia SLI Pop-up

mzaidi — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 16:17:09 +0800

Everytime I start my computer I'll see this pop-up:

It happens after I reformat my PC, and installed Nvidia Forceware Driver ver 91.31. I'm using AGP Card, so I definitely can't use SLI. I've tried looking in Nvidia's Control Panel, but there's no option to disable the pop-up.

The wierd thing is, before I reformat my PC, I'm also using Nvidia Forceware Driver ver 91.31, and didn't have any pop-up like this.

Any way I can disable the pop-up?

Buyer's Guide / FAQ

The reason why I'm making an X-Box 360 FAQ is to make gamers (especially for those who are interested on getting one) can have one place to refer and have their frequently asked questions, answered.

Currently Xbox 360 Premium (Asian) is selling for around RM 1400 - RM 1500 (some shop even sell as low as RM 1300) and Xbox 360 Core (Asian) is selling for around RM 1200. Japanese Xbox 360 is selling for around RM 1200 - RM 1400 (some shop sell as low as RM 900). Price for Xbox 360 Elite US version is USD 479.99 and the pricing (and release date) for Asian version is still unknown.

What are the differences between US, Japanese, and Asian console?

To make it simple, some Xbox 360 games are region coded. This means you can only play US games (NTSC/UC) games on US console (NTSC/UC). Same thing applies to Japanese and Asian console (NTSC/J). Some games are region free though, which means it can be played on console from other region.

Also take note that if you decided to purchase either US or Japanese console, you need to purchase a step-down transformer, because US and Japanese console are using 110V while our country are supplying 220V - 240V. Asia console don't need it. If you do decide to get US / Japanese unit, make sure the stepdown transformer is at least 300W.

Xbox 360 Games

Xbox 360 games that are found in Malaysia is usually either
a) US Version
b) Japanese Version
c) Asian Version

Look out for the game region before you buy. Some games are region locked, while some are region free. Games from Ubisoft are usually region free. For more information about region free games, you can refer to:

Game Price

Games from US / Japanese are usually priced between RM 220 - RM 240, while Asian games are usually priced around RM 150 - RM 160.

Japanese and Asian games are both NTSC/J? How to differentiate?

To differentiate the game, you have to look at the games' box / packaging. Asia Region games have box art in both English and Chinese and are manufactured in Singapore while Japanese Region games have box art in Japanese / English.

Another thing is, on Japanese game you can see a CERO rating logo (equivalant to ESRB in the US) while the Asian version have none.

Japanese version. Notice the CERO rating logo on the bottom left.

Asian version.

For the games, a title from Asia seems to always work in a Japanese console, but the reverse, Japanese game on Asian console doesn't always work.
