Chinese Playstation 1 on Dealextreme.



Released some month ago, it most likely contains some sort of low speced computer inside running linux with a Playstation 3 clone gui and a port of maybe Mplayer for video playback and Pcsx for the playstation games.

If anyone buys one then feel free to make a youtube video where you test alot of different games cause they suspiciously only show one game in their odd trailer and it's a 2D game (KOF98/99 with Street Fighter sound fx? hmmmm) so it would be interesting to see some advanced 3D games in action.

If you look in the middle of the page theres a official site for this thing that hosts isos for it! http://www.dealextreme.com/p/play-station-psi-multi-game-platform-tv-video-game-console-with-usb-sd-ms-av-hdmi-pal-ntsc-70928

Receipt Racer, printer game by Joshua Noble & Undef.



"The game is played on a receipt printer, a common device you can see at every convenient store. It prints those papers you usually find crumbled up in your pockets, just to throw them away. It is a thermal printer using heat to darken the paper.

This eliminates any slowdowns in printing lots of black. A roll can be ordered online and costs around 80 cents. 50 meters is the maximum distance you are theoretically able to race in one run, before running out of paper. So ecologically it's pretty much a disaster, just like any real car."

Back to basics :).

Subdrags N64 Sound Tool V1.1 Released.

"I have added a new sound bank format which is supported by many more games. Ice Mario and I worked together to make this a long time ago, and I have kept meaning to post it. Anyways, it's an open source sound tool for N64 ROMs, which lets you play standard format waves, and lets you add/change waves that are in the game already."

List of games supported is huge, check it out here: http://goldeneyevault.com/viewfile.php?id=212

Also Banjo Tooie won't run since it has a special CIC/Protection that was never cracked back in the day, Perfect Dark also uses this but it was cracked so it does run.
