Actually it is, It's piracy. :dammit: And thanks for letting me know what I have to waste my free time today doing. :crying:
Welcome Sony's response to the piracy! http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-23-ps3-update-disables-third-party-pads Nice one if some official accessories no longer work on the PS3's... :gravedigging:
Another good reason to not update then....I love using my sf4 fightpad and there's no way I'm gonna make it useless by updating.
Actually if you check the official boards, people are complaing that even some Sixaxis and colored DS3's aren't working as well. I was really looking forwared to play Killzone online tonight, but i'm not gonna update to 3.50 now. Sony need to stop releasing crap firmwares. Everytime a new firmware is avaiable, everybody ends up scared of what will happen after installing it.
Like most anti piracy measures, pirates will find a way around this and the only people it will affect are the legitimate non pirate users.
Well thats a major kick in the teeth for people who have arcade sticks and custom built sticks then. What the fuck Sony?
Wouldn't this just start a war, where unlicensed manufactures would start using ID's from other legitimate devices in order to cloak themselves from detection?
That's possible I think. I'm not impressed with sony right now, I don't plan on updating anytime soon and they just need to give up. Seriously, all they are doing really is fucking things up for everyone since work arounds for this kind of stuff will come from the hacking/hombrew scene anyway most likely. On the other hand not updating has helped me quit playing MGO which i've been trying to do for the past year D:
I just tried Star Fox 2 on the newest SNES9X build and it still has performance issues. You notice it as the sound breaks up as the game is not running quite 60fps. So there could still be performance improvements. It probably related to slow video rendering. Other games though seem to run great. Still it's just the first emulator to even be ported and released so it's quite good. But really other than Super FX games running in 21mhz mode everything else plays perfect speed wise. I did test Kirby Super Star (SA-1). There was no noticable performance issues and no other chip I can imagine would match SA-1 or Super FX in demand so it's probably safe to assume it's just a few Super FX games. I also noticed SRM files are made as Kirby did save my progress. So it's already a damn good SNES9X port if you just want to play some SNES games and aren't going to whine about not having a ton of features.
I love the irony in how Sony's anti-piracy measures ONLY punish people who didn't resort to piracy... I am SO glad I have the foresight (due to this thread) not to update. My next firmware update will be CFW or nothing at all.
I doubt it. It's surely because they're clamping down hard on what kind of USB devices are permitted to run.
Wow, now a Saturn emulator has been released. I won't post links because it was probably compiled with the official SDK.
Holy crap! Saturn? on my PS3? I never saw this coming! That makes me excited. It'll give me the chance to play some games I can't anymore since I haven't had a saturn in years ( games I own , I mean. I Sold my console stupidly back in the day because I thought it was broken. But it just needed a new battery >.>)
You know what's funny on this 3.50 firmware? If people stay on 3.41, their controllers still work, they will use piracy without concern, and so on. But people that don't care about this, wants to play online and use original games, are the ones Sony is hitting. Incredible how a company can f*ck it's customers like that. I hope this whole jailbreak thing becomes widely avaiable on any firmware.
I would think people would have been used to this with the PSP already. Besides I hardly ever update at all that shit takes forever! So really everyone else encounters the issues before I ever even notice a problem. I've got a break tool in the mail so I haven't updated my spare just my main.
You still have to worry about the quality of emulation and performance of it. Just because an emulator exists doesn't mean it's actually fun to play games on.
Right you are. Saturn emulation is especially difficult, complex architecture. Not even on the PC it is perfect. Granted, it gets better with every update of the emulators, but still far from perfect. Way playable, though.
