Play Playstation games on your pc?

Hurray!

Yesterday night, out of curiosity, I Google-d "play playstation game on your pc". There was a couple of links but I decided to check out WiKiAnswers. After reading for a while, I decided to try it out. I've a whole lot of old playstation games that can't be played on my playstation anymore (I fried it looong time ago).

I heard or read about an emulator that you can use on a pc that let you play old console games but, I didn't thought it could be this easy.

So, just for the heck of it, I followed the instructions on this WiKiAnswers. Download, a couple of software. Install, test and configurate. Then hoping for the best, I pop in a Final Doom playstation CD and voila, it works!

I was so excited to try out all the other games that I didn't sleep untill 2 a.m. yesterday!

The graphics isn't that fast or good as my playstation console but maybe, I'm using an old Pentium 3 pc. I think, if you have a P4 or the new pc or laptop version, it would certainly fly!

I think it's great that I can play my old favorite playstation games again. If I had knew, it would be this easy, I would have done it long ago. Lucky, I didn't have the heart to throw all the games out as I was thinking of maybe buy a re-used console. My nephews keep asking me to try out the old console and I have to keep repeating it to them that it was fried!

Well, I called one of my nephew just now and he sound pretty excited when I told him that he can now play the games on this pc.

I'm already planning to try the emulator on the Eee pc once I get my hand on it. But, I'll have to use the Linux version. With the spec on the Eee pc at 900mhz I think it would work great. We'll see then. If it does, then, I'll post some pictures here. Now, I can use my Eee pc for games too!

Alright then, I still have a lot of games to try out on this emulator. Some, of it load and play pretty slow, so I'm just putting aside the good one to play later.

If you have some old playstation games and your console went kaput or you want to play it on your pc then you might want to try this out. You can visit WiKiAnswers to read up for more info and instructions. Good luck!

Playstation Ruleeeezzz !!

Eeeuser.com - Forum

Okay, okay. I know, I've been posting a lot about Asus Eee pc. It's just my latest fetish!

And, also, I haven't yet got my hand on it. It's like waiting for the 'durian' to drop. You wait and you wait and it's like taking forever to drop!

But, when it drop and you smell the fruit and eat it, you'll be like "whoaaa.. heaven!"

That's what I'm feeling right now. I've been going here and there hoping and wishing that somehow, I could get my hand on it. Try it and, after I'm fully satisfied? Buy it of course!

Alas that has to wait. Although, right now, buyer in the U.S. can go to Buy.com, Mwave.com

So, while waiting for my chance to purchase it, I've been surfing around and researching all sites that have news or say about it. I found a site that also have a forum where you can talk about Eee and more eeeeee..

Pretty interesting stuff or read. Check it out. The site URL is at >>

http://eeeuser.com

They talk about games installed, video reviews, pictures or just bitch about the small screen, the speakers and the 4gb SSD.

Join in the fun!

Good night.. me go sleep.

How would you change Asus' Eee Pc?

That's the question ask on Engadget.com forum.

Currently, there are 161 comments on it including mine!

After reading up on all the comments, I've come to the conclusion that I preferred that the product specs stay as it is. Why change, a good simple product that's meant for simple surfing, simple games, free office words and spreadsheets?

I mean, the main reason I like the Asus Eee pc is that it's affordable and the specs ain't that bad with that price. Of course, I would preferred it much cheaper and more memory but I think, the current form is already good enough for simple usage. My main priority is that I can use it to surf the Net on-the-go. All the pre-installed OS (linux), applications and games is a bonus.

Anyway, yesterday night, I check up at Newegg.com and it was on sale. I thought, that's good news as maybe, the product will arrive in Singapore soon. But, earlier in the day I check again and the Eee is already out of stock!

The next stock will be on the 19th of Nov. It sold out in a couple of hours, or did my eyes fooled me?

It was almost midnight, and I was already kind of sleepy. Heh, I could be dreaming.

The Asus Eee pc is such a hot products right now. There's news that a government body bought a 100,000 units. Maybe, it's for their school. The Eee is good for kids in school at any levels. Even, teachers are interested in the products as it's light and easy to carry around to work with. I think, it's good compared with the OLPC and Intel Classmates.

That's my opinion anyway. The main thing is that it's cheap and affordable and with specs that's just right.

I've seen some other ultra portable laptop and although, some of it is small, good looking and powerful. But, they are so damn expensive!

Most of the price hovers around the $1000 marks. While the Eee cost around $299-399 !

You can check up at Newegg.com for more info or to see if they have stocks. You'll have to be fast or it'll be sold out soon!

I read somewhere that you can also check up at Bestbuy.com and also at Walmart. Mostly, on US sites.

I can't wait for the next stocks to reach Singapore again. As, I didn't know about it till it was sold out!

Anyway, got to go. My favorite soccer team is playing "Live" right now. Wanna, watch it.

Have a great Sunday!

Ubuntu me

Ubuntu Me!

Around 2 weeks ago, I posted about installing and trying out Linux Ubuntu on my old laptop. I still can't freaking install on it. I guess the laptop was pretty fuck up in the first place. I've been trying to install Ubuntu on it for a couple of days and finally gave up. But today, I read about Ubuntu on Digital Life Singapore and realize that I can actually test Ubuntu without installing it on my main pc.


All this time, I thought you need to install it before you can use it. Anyway, the procedure is that after downloading and imaging the Ubuntu.iso on a cd, you can just start your pc normally with the cd inside. Just select "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it will log into a Ubuntu environment. You can then test it out like what I'm doing right now. By the way the screen shot you're seeing is taken using the pre-installed Take Screenshot application.

You can test out the videos, music, applications, play the pre-installed games or do some surfing whatever. But, since you haven't yet install it, and just running it from the cd, the applications might be a bit slow. It's all about testing the Ubuntu OS before you make the plunge.


If you have another good old pc or laptop lying around doing nothing, you can try installing on it. Make sure it's still in good shape. You can also opt to install on your second hard drive if you have one already.


Once, you're finished you can just reboot your pc without the CD inside and you're back to Windows!

So try it out!

Here's the link again for instructions and download:

You can also scroll down below to read up on my past post about installing Ubuntu.

Okay then, I'm off doing more testing. Enjoy!

Eee Pc - Ultra cheap mobile laptop

It's been a couple of days and I've been checking out this totally affordable Eee Pc for some time now. I've read about it in Cnet and Asia Cnet and the more I read about it, the more I want it!

Here's a link to one of the article and forum on it at Engadget.com

A lot of good reviews so far. It's not like a powerful laptop with all the bell's and whistles but for simple surfing and editing it's pretty good. Best of all it's cheap!

That's why I'm interested to buy it. It'll be great to bring it to work or just for a second laptop at home. It's also great for your kids to play or school work or whatever.

Here's a link to Cnet.com review also with video included.

I think it's already being sold in Singapore. I'll be checking it out soon. Since, it doesn't cost much I can't wait to buy and play with it. Great!

That's it for today. It's already sunday evening and it's going to be Monday. Arggg!

Got to go. Chow!

Discover tidbits about the world everyday

Everyday, when I open up my Firefox browser it will go straight to Yahoo.com main site. On the main site I like to quickly scan up on interesting stories happening around the world. I especially like reading up on the latest science fact. For example, today I read up three interesting stories about black hole, ancient tree stumps and rare amphibians.

It might doesn't sound much but a little tidbits on what's happening around the world will broaden up your horizon. When we think we know everything then something new is being discovered. Just to show you that's God knowledge isn't limited. Even if you take a lifetime to learn or be an expert on something, you've only scratch the surface.

There's more to life then what you see around you right now. There's more to it. If only you open up your eyes and also listen.

Here's the links to the article if you're interested >>
