Popsloader matter

Oh, some of you might have no idea about Popsloader. It’s somewhat a program for Playstation Portable used under Dark alex’s M33 firmware (I think) to make your PSP play PSX (and PSone, although they’re the same..) games.

I have no idea how the popsloader works or how the dumping stuff works. What I know in general about the popsloader is that you technically use the popsloader when the firmware you install doesn’t support a particular game or when you play a game from PSX, the game hangs at some point. That is what my brother did when I installed 3.90 M33-2 on my PSP. The problem is that the firmware doesn’t support the game “Gran Turismo 2″. I was playing this game with no problems at all when I was still at firmware 3.71 M33-4 which I consider as the most stable firmware. At 3.90, the game ” Taiko no tatsujin 2″ lags after choosing a particular “I don’t know what it means” song.(since it’s japanese)….
Anyway, to the problem encountered with the popsloader, the Gran Turismo 2 game suddenly shows some symptoms of the problem of the past: HANGING. The worst thing was the popsloader menu (the dumped firmware chooser whatever) doesn’t appear and any good and worthy manipulation among the plugins and their corresponding texts aren’t working. I did resort to internet support from those experts in such stuff and frankly, I saw something definitely easy to do: delete all texts except the text for the POPS. IT WORKED~! I don’t know how it worked with those actions and definitely those actions were weird. I wanted to know more about the firmware and all the other stuff. If only I had money now, I would buy an original battery for the phat version PSP and an original 512MB so that I can make a Pandora’s battery and a MMS so that I will not spend 400 bucks every now and then I mess up with the PSP’s internal flash drive. Interesting stuff, indeed. 😀

Migration

A friend of mine is going to Canada tomorrow and he will be there for good. I’m just wondering why most people are already migrating to other countries. One thing, there are a lot of racial discrimination that probably would send me to jail if I heard one nasty description from the people of that place.

Even though our government had a lot of flaws (and even now), I still like it here. WHY? Well, there are a lot of things that I like here.

• One, it’s a tropical country. Even if it’s so hot, I’d still prefer it from freezing cold because by looking at the state of my body, cold will kill me in no time.
• Two, Speeding is monitored in such countries. In Japan, I think, they already have speed cameras on Tokyo Highways. Here, get a fast car and the Toyota Vios and Altis cannot catch you. Unless, you ran across San Juan’s Altis, that might be a problem. I would like to experience to speed just once. Or technical turns…
• Three, Most of the international goodies here are bargains. Take for examples the ORIGINAL iPods. The iPods here are cheaper than what US has to give. Although now, it is already being eaten by the continuous increase of value of the Philippine Peso.
• Four, Only in the Philippines where traffic can expand from 3 lanes to 5 lanes without any major casualties. It impresses me a lot.
• Five, also Only in the Philippines where there are intersections have to traffic lights. It’s bad, I know but we Filipinos can manage to drive across without hitting a frowning face.
• Six, Lots of Malls around. There are malls around you in the blink of an eye.
• Seven, Lots of places to hangout as well.

This is not a tourism matter people… I know there are also a lot of goodies in other countries but I still prefer to live here. I’m not a big fan of imported chocolates or spam or any international goodies. I know, PSP and Q-steer are from Japan but I buying those for a purpose not because I’m a dying fan of it. 😀
