PSP-2000 does support 64GB.

Panties — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:39:03 +0800

Hi PSP fans.

Just sharing...

I own PSP-2000 and I been using 8GB Memory Stick Duo Pro.

2 days ago, I wanted to try to upgrade my PSP to maximum memory available.

Google up, and found out that most PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 only support up to 32GB! It can't go higher, (even if it does, their forum say that you cannot copy games from your PC to your PSP as it cannot detect the memory card)
the MAX is either 2 X 16GB MicroSD or 1 X MicroSD. They say that PSP cannot 32GB+32GB! It detect only 32GB!

Out of curiousity, I went and bought from Lelong:
http://www.lelong.com.my/dual-slot-micro-s...7-01-Sale-I.htm

Got it yesterday morning, and I also bought
http://www.lelong.com.my/sandisk-microsdhc...7-01-Sale-I.htm

I also make sure that it is Class-10, MAX Speed for MicroSD (At the point of writting this)

So, I put...
1 X 64GB MicroSD into Slot1 of Memory Stuck Pro Duo, and slot into my PSP.

I also format it using PSP successfully, it shows 59GB!
(BTW, Im using 6.60 OFW as of this writting, but Im sure Homebrew will work too)

When I plug into my Win7 64bit, it detects it and place it like a normal drive (I dont know why other forum say it could NOT!)
So I copied all my MP3, Games, Movies, Songs... inside! until I used 58GB! I also Defrag the drive using AUSLOGIC DEFRAGMENTATION.

Conclusion, My PSP-2000 has 64GB without any lag/issue. No problem at all. I am VERY HAPPY!
I thought of sharing with you PSP fans, just incase if you want to buy more SPACE, it is possible.

I can NOT *GUARANTEED* that it may work for you, but sharing my ideas with you guys, could maybe open possibilities for you all.

IDEAS-Unifi: How to MAX Unifi's speed potential!

Panties — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 08:53:08 +0800

Dear Unifi users, (and maybe applicable to some Streamyx users)

Some tips on speeding your Unify connect to it's maximum potential.

If you have an Old PC or plan to buy a budget PC dedicated for unifi, here are some ideas:-
* Change Your Router to a dedicated PC Router
- Every good/bad router have at least 3 main thing for it to run. Processor, RAM, and firmware's storage, a.k.a. ROM or BIOS. To Simply put, router have limited processor and ram. Some have bugs, which often resolvable by either turning off & turning back on the router, or flash the ROM/BIOS. But still limited to Processor & RAM. (The lowest I had on my old Aztech router, was 66Mhz with 16MB RAM)
> Honestly, I recommend replacing router with Linux Firewall on PC. PC Linux Firewall, is the best. Thus, mainly because the processor speed that is higher than most routers, and the RAM that is more than adequate, your download is faster than any router! You can also run it in VMware or VirtualBox, for testing or production purposes. Here's are some free Firewall/Router Linux:-
http://www.smoothwall.org/ (I'm using this)
http://m0n0.ch/wall/
http://www.ipcop.org/

> Slower routers, means slower/choppy/laggy connection. Basic port forward function may not work well either. That's why, PC router is best to replace any router. (Unless you want that WIFI connectivity, than stick with Router!

* Use your old machine as your primary server downloader:-
- Leaving your computer on, has it's good and bad. Bad is normally the releasing the certain amount of CO2, which is unavoidable. Another Bad thing are, when using your gaming/primary PC to download, your other hardwares (PCIE Graphic card FAN, RAM, Harddisk with 10000RPM Gaming, Water coolant...), OVERALL PC, will not last long. (All PCs will wear and tear someday)
> Honestly, If you have that extra $Cash$, get the cheapest motherboard with build-in VGA or if you have that old PC that have at least a P4 that support SATA, why not resurrect it? You can use the WD GREEN HDD, to save power and give you 2TB of space. You do not need to buy a Gcard, if you have everything build in. You do not even need to buy an additional monitor, which is only for initial setup for installation.
> If you're an IT Savy, you may disable Parallel ports, COM ports, Disable S.M.A.R.T for harddisk, Disable Soundcard...etc in BIOS.
> Software/OS that you may require:-
www.TightVNC.com or www.RealVNC.com (for controlling your server from internal network, or from external(Internet))
www.no-ip.com (for giving your IP, a dynamic domain. There are others as well, but I'm using this, its free! Go register)
OS - Linux over Windows (Linux has always been a best choice for any IT-Savy in term of utilizing all resources for my download clients or doing anything at all. However, stick with windows if you're comfortable using it)
Download Client - Utorrent, Vuze(Azureus), ..etc (your MOST favorite client)

> Secondary PC will be 24/7. This will make sure that your gaming/primary PC, will last longer by turning it off when ot in use!

IPTV or no IPTV
- In my experience, I can now share with you guys. Let's take VIP5 (Since I am using that), for example. You guy should know by now, that the IPTV and Telephone, do take some of your Internet bandwidth for it. The question is, how much? and how would it effect my download speed?
> It is "Unnoticeable" if you make a call. So Telephone is totally fine!
> But IPTV, it varies. It sometimes take tiny, it sometimes takes a portion & very rare, it did take 1/2 of my speed... for a very short period of time for that sudden speed burst!. Since my family still use TV Antennas(UHF/VHF) with ASTRO and IPTV channels package aren't that great (ASTRO still rules IMHO), take off that IPTV! Doing so, you save space, electricity, and reserve your download speed.

> IPTV does, however, provide free HD Quality of TV1, TV2, TV3... etc, but IMHO, the local channels aren't that great. & I already have ASTRO, so, it's up to you whether to keep or to disconnect IPTV.

If you have any ideas, please share... =) I welcome any suggestions/ideas that will benefit all!

Xbox360 4 Players Games List Offline

Panties — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 14:28:25 +0800

Hi all,
During Chinese New Year, it is clear to me(and my cousins) that 4 players gaming, is fun.
I am starting this thread, because I think it will be valuable for those who enjoy 4 players on the couch.

I am not talking about 4 players online. I am talking about Offline.

Which means, 4 controllers, 4 human players.

I am going to list down some of the titles that support 4 players.

- SouthPark Tower Defense (get it from Market Place)
- Bomberman
- GEOMETRY WARS

That's all I know. care to share?

XBOX 360 VS PS3 / PS3 VS XBOX 360

Panties — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 10:54:01 +0800

Hi all,
I'm going to share my views on whether XBOX 360 is better than PS3? or vice-versa.

This is not a true debate, rather, more on opinion and the reason why you choose one console over the other.
I have both PS3 and XBOX360 in my home, I played them both fairly and compared them side by side too.

Some background
PS3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3
XBOX360
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360

Here's my view (dated today only, 1/19/2011):-

XBOX360 VS PS3
I choose XBOX 360 because...
- XBOX LIVE give outstanding online gaming experience, no lag (or almost no lag) when playing Xbox360 Games. (Need to pay subscription fee in order to play online)
- XBOX Graphic is better (in most games), than PS3
- XBOX is much more cooler (PS3 generate more heat)
- XBOX is able to change batteries (PS3 have to buy new joypad once your joypad is not able to recharge anymore)
- XBOX have more variety of games to download, whether it is demos, trials or free. (PS3 was launch in 2006, Xbox360 since 2005, but PS3... hmm, Sony is still not there yet and not much stuff to download either)
- XBOX 360 Navigation online/offline, are very smooth. (PS3 Navigation-XMB are also smooth, but when viewing.browsing games online, for example: it lag at times, average 8 - 30 seconds, to load 1 image)
- XBOX is able to install MOST/ALL games into the harddisk, which makes it load faster. XBOX can also Install games into Pendrive, making them load even faster. (PS3, you can only install the game, if the game support it! Thus, you can only find this Install option inside the game, or it's just not capable to install it)
- XBOX is quieter than PS3, in a long run.
- XBOX have much more multiplayer online games, than PS3 does.
- XBOX AtTheMoment, can upgrade up to 250GB or flashdrive, at the max 16GB.
- XBOX have much more Games titles than PS3 does.
- XBOX have better Avatar and slightly easier achievable achievements, compare with PS3 trophy. (Some trophy are really hard to get... and require online multiplayer to get them. Depends on the games too)

PS3 VS XBOX360
I choose PS3 because...
- PS3 is AT THE MOMENT:- FREE online Gaming! (That's right folks, free.. but lag issues if server is too heavy and if game is too far and etc...)
- PS3 Graphic is better only if games are exclusive for it! (Like Metal Gear Solid, God of wars 1,2,3... those games are for exclusive for PS3! You cannot find them for XBOX360)
- PS3 can connect and can use PSP (XBOX360 can't do that!)
- PS3 have WIFI, BLUETOOH and top of all, 1000GB/s. (XBOX have to purchase seperate WIFI, no Bluetooth and 100MBPs.
- PS3 can do Profile Migration between 2 PS3s. (PS3 can connect to another PS3, and transfer the profile. However, I am really not sure why does it takes 1-2 hours to transfer a small profile without any game installed. 1GBPs, does it really count?)
- PS3 can backup the entire PS3, onto external USB HDD / Pendrive.
- PS3 home is one feature that XBOX missed, in term of online community. People can gather around, play games together, chat.... its a good place to meet/chat/play/watchvideo all online, using PS3 home. Think of it as IRC with Virtual 3D enviroment, walking around.
- PS3 joypad controller is much preferred controller for most/all games, compare with XBOX. (Seriously, try playing Street Fighter 4 on XBOX controller. It's just not as good as PS3's controller! honest!)
- PS3 has the MOST RPG Games than XBOX! (Yes folks, look for RPG title games? go for PS3)
- PS3 1st generation, able to play PS1/PS2 Games. (XBOX360 can only play "some" XBOX1 titles)
- PS3 have blue-ray reader and its region free. (XBOX have only DVD reader and are restricted to the region. Means, PS3 can play DVD/Blueray Games that are from US region. Unlike XBOX360.)

Conclusion:-
In my humble (VERY VERY HUMBLE) opinion: I have grow up with these 2 consoles ever since they were released. They are the best out-there and closely match on each other.
But which is better? (If you ask me..)

[WTA] US VS Singapore GamerTag (CreditCard)

Panties — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 08:44:03 +0800

Hi all,

I wanted to ask about both subcriptions and Ms. Points.

I have 2 ID in Xbox, 1 is in US and another is in Singapore.

The issue is, whenever I need to get Ms.Point or renew my 3 months subscriptions, I have to travel all the way down from Nilai to Tropicana City, just to buy the Singapore reload from Gamer's Hideout.

Recently, I found out that US Gamertag users, can now make payment easier, by using Paypal(via CreditCard) account. (And yes, it work)
Which a lot easier and cheaper for me.

My concern is, GamerTag from US and GamerTag from Singapore, what is the difference? Can I still play with people from Asia if I use a US Gamertag?

I would only want to use 1 GamerTag, and use my CreditCard for convenient, to play online. Is there any special benefit for using a Singapore GamerTag? (And US GamerTag?)

Please Advice Me, Xbox Gurus!

Regards,
Panties.
