Running Tekken 6 on PSP 5.00 M33-6 or higher custom firmware

2, Dec 2009

On a previous blog post I wrote down how I got Gran Turismo to work on my Sony PSP running 5.00 M33-6 custom firmware.
Now that Tekken 6 is out the updated security layer and encryption has invalidated this method and made it even more difficult for M33 users to run these new games.
I will spare [...]

Running Gran Turismo Portable on PSP 5.00 M33-6 custom firmware without using a ripkit

9, Oct 2009

To make Gran Turismo Portable run on 5.00 firmware, you will need to decrypt the game’s EBOOT.BIN, patch it, and recreate the ISO or CSO file. This may sound tricky, but it is actually quite simple and easy to do.
First, you will need a copy of the original Gran Turismo Portable ISO (download it here).
Next, [...]

Matter of Taste: Filipino eye for the European guy

27, Sep 2009

Found this in a forwarded e-mail. Mr. Sutherland if you are reading this, please drop me a line. If a foreigner writes something good about the Philippines and does it with such a flair, I say he gets free coffee from me!

Mayweather outboxes Marquez, stays undefeated

20, Sep 2009

The decision was unanimous. Mayweather started off slow, but picked up the pace and dominated in the end. He was way too fast for Juan Manuel Marquez, who tried everything to break Mayweather but his defense was solid.
At the end of the day, Floyd Mayweather Jr’s record remains spotless at 40-0. Only one other guy [...]

Very good showmanship by the girls. Eye contact, coordination, and rhythm are just perfect.

How do locals affords ANYTHING in the Philippines?!

31, Aug 2009

Probably one of the most insulting things about the Philippines I have ever read. Sad thing here is there really are people around the world who think like this.
Very entertaining post and really made (i.e. ruined) my day.
How the heck do they get through life with NOTHING inside their heads?!

Huge discrepancy: How do locals [...]

Funny photo: Manny Pacquiao’s Taxi?

27, Aug 2009

I was on my way to work today when I almost choked at the name of this cab owned by “Pacquing Transport”.

Could this be Manny Pacquiao’s taxi? Maybe he got tired of fighting and decided to retire and be a cab driver.
Either way, I wonder what people do inside a “pacquing taxi”? Guess I’ll have [...]

How to fix “The game could not be started” error on modified Sony PSP

24, Aug 2009

I almost had a heart attack yesterday. I got myself a copy of Dissidia: Final Fantasy U.S. version, but it wouldn’t run on my PSP. My modified PSP was only running 4.01 M33-2. Apparently, Dissidia needs 5.00 firmware or higher to run.
Thus, I tasked myself with I upgrading the custom firmware on my Sony PSP, [...]
