Wow a rare time both consumer and retailers are in agreement… oh. They’re not talking about themselves.

Haven’t been buying from the local super store for a while now, however I have stopped buying from Shoppers.

Tbh this is how you’d normally download it with one additional step to get a password once if you haven’t signed in.

This is a portable from 2004

If you have a PSP Street then Sony gave you the proverbial middle finger since both Media Go (PC Software to download and manage digital PSP games), and transferring games from PS3 to PSP doesn’t work.

But if you have a PSP that can connect to WiFi you absolutely can still download PSP games. You just need to

1. connect your PSP to WiFi a challenge in it of itself

2. generate a Password for your account since Sony requires 2fa and PSP doesn’t support 2fa. Its on your Sony Account settings somewhere from a browser.

3. sign into your Sony account on your PSP

4. goto account management

5. select transaction management

6. select downloads list

7. select game you wanna download

Lots of guides out there for extracting PSP ISO or PS1 ISO from digital games on YouTube. Definitely worth looking into to preserve your collection

Because it was 2009, I was I kid, and I saw Mythbusters and I said yes. I learnt my lesson when they remove PlayStation Video years ago from PS3, and the PSP. I didn’t even know I could re-download it until I stumbled upon it in a menu years later.

I am just hoping and praying that this will not extend to their games. Sony’s been pretty good about game ownership to this point, look at those who bought the PT Demo and can still play it.

Alright, what this looks like is Sony’s deal with Discovery to sell and host their TV shows has been removed. From my quick glance there are no games being removed.

Still is BS, and beyond ridiculous. But it was inevitably going to happen at some point.

I am more pissed that I got informed that they are doing this from here instead of being told that I am losing my Myth Busters.

Still not possible to read adobe DRM epub on kindle as of yet. So you still need to strip the DRM first

Libby works on any Android and iOS device, so if you consider those E-Reader then no you didn’t miss understand.

However on proprietary E-Readers like Kobos and Kindles, Overdrive needs to be implemented by the manufacturer . It’s not an issue for Kobo, as Overdrive is baked in, but on Kindle it only works with the USA’s Library system if I understand it correctly (not from USA).

With that said since Overdrive relies on Adobe Digital editions it’s not the end of the world since you can remove the DRM and use calibre to cover the ePub to Mobi then move it onto a Kindle.

But getting the right device makes it less of a hassle.

Hey, just wanna shout out to your local library. Overdrive (Libby app) is amazing, but only works on kindles in the USA. Double check if kindle supports overdrive in your country and if it doesn’t you may want to get a Kobo or a third party e-reader instead.

Either that or you can use DeDRM to strip the adobe digital editions drms to keep the library books after they expire.

I might’ve already replied with it in this post, I might not have. Who really knows.

I don’t want to spill the beans on what I’m currently using since I don’t want it to be patched. But I can tell you what I use to use before my current config. Since apps and devices have updated to a point I found better ones.

I use to run an old Samsung Tablet with USB C video out and one of those Amazon bargain bin tablets with HDMI.

Once this bad boy strips the HDCP any old HDMI recorder can record the signal. At a time I used the Elgato HD60, but I’ve moved on since due to HDR content causing it problems.

PS2 discs can be ripped on a PC with a DVD player. Same with PS1. The PlayStation copy protection was on system not the media.

I already have one, not to worry. Plus they are easy to find on Amazon or eBay.

Yup, outside of legacy PC titles which will never get a re-release, a 1-2 combo shot of GOG and Steam, I don’t pirate games. I even took the time to find way to backup my games so I can get legal ROMs too.

Not sure about others, but I don’t distribute the content I record or backup, outside of an offsite backup. For me my biggest concern is getting a clean copy for myself, and with certain fruity tablets and a mirrored screen it’s good source to record from for my needs.

Once upon a time, Elgato HD60, I want to keep my current system under wraps, since I don’t want them to fix it ;)

I get and like HDCP. Mostly because of how easy it can be to bypass. I’d rather have a universal “we tried” standard, than an honest attempt to stop this. With today’s tech and online focused DRM, HDCP could be a lot worse, and I am happy where it is right now.

Like Adobe Digital Editions or Kindle for eBook DRM.

Q: Can you still get working ones? I presume so, they come from China, and I found another from Amazon a while back when I did some crazy updates to my setup. (3 HDMI outputs, Games gets split to the TV and to another Splitter which gets intercepted by a automatic switch. This switch has the game signal, but also an HDMI override signal that goes to my laptop or Tablet. That input goes to another splitter that goes to HDMI 2 on my TV and to my HDMI Recorded. This lets me play games while recording whats on my iPad, and lets me monitor my output just in case)

Q: Would one of these work to avoid a new TV? Maybe? Not sure TBH, though for the $9-$20 I’ve seen these for it’s worth looking up.

I presumed so, but when I hear someone asking, I think of the old caps in old 90s PSU and Motherboards that are likely to go boom. I’ve never heard of these surface mount caps blowing though.

No name brand, if you find one that looks like it, it’ll work. Typical search terms are “hdmi splitter 1 in 2 out”, any with EDI switches are busts, like the one from UGREEN.

EDIT Also avoid any with buttons, this is a HDMI duplicator, as in 1 signal goes in, that signal get duplicated and sent out both ports. The ones with buttons switches inputs, so 1 HDMI in 1 HDMI out, the button just chooses which HDMI is being used. Great for monitors with only 1 HDMI input.

I have another in the setup thats working, but I’ll probably hold onto it though if I can fix it as easily as you say

No caps, all solid state!

Pretty accurate and its due to trade with the USA.

For example I wanted small nuts and screws for a project. Got metric from Amazon and I needed M2 screw and nuts.

But when I tried to get it sourced by a local company in NS, they didn’t have the metric nuts and the screws where expensive.

So I found a closes size I could get in imperial, #2-56. They didn’t just have them, but they were pennies per unit.

Thank you

No smoke just fog. The forest fires in NS (or at the very lease near Halifax) are out now… I think. The weather cleared up in the afternoon, and we saw the first glimpse of the sun all week.
