Wizpy media player/portable PC

quoted from dottocomu:

Japanese firm Turbolinux is showing off an interesting device called the wizpy, which doubles as a portable media player and as a take-anywhere Linux box that you can hook up to a PC via USB to access your apps and settings. As a media player it handles OGG/mp3/WMA/AAC audio and DivX video and includes an FM radio, voice recorder and still picture/text viewer; in PC mode, you get access to Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype, wordprocessing and other applications and about 2.5G of storage space on flash memory.

The wizpy comes in at a pretty compact 84x42x12mm and a featherlight 60g, with battery life claimed at 10 hours. It's only a prototype at the moment (though the Turbolinux folks had one connected to a Windows laptop to give the launch presentation, so it's certainly beyond the Photoshop stage), but they indicate it should be out next February for under Y30,000.

PowerDVD Ultra supports AMD UVD Technology on Radeon HD 2000 Series

Direct copy-paste from afterdawn :p

Cyberlink Corp. has announced that its HD playback software, PowerDVD Ultra, now supports AMD UVD Unified Video Decoder technology on the newly released ATI Radeon HD 2400 series and ATI Radeon 2600 series graphics cards. PowerDVD Ultra supports playback of Blu-ray Discs, HD DVDs, and DVDs, and now offers support for AMD UVD Technology ensuring a high-quality playback experience with minimal power consumption on both Windows XP and Vista operating systems.

With support for AMD UVD features like VC-1, MPEG-4 H.264 CABAC (Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding), Motion Compensation and iDCT (Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform), both desktop PC and notebook users will be able to enjoy enhanced video quality with incredibly low CPU consumption.

"CyberLink is delighted to work with AMD to deliver the best high-quality video playback possible with PowerDVD Ultra optimized for the latest ATI Radeon HD2000 series graphics cards," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corp. "This is indeed a great success for both AMD and CyberLink to satisfy the growing demand for high-definition video performance within the mainstream PC market."

"We built UVD just for applications like PowerDVD Ultra," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Graphics Products Group. "We've provided the technology that enables high-quality playback with very low power consumption - ideal for notebooks or silent media center applications - and Cyberlink provides a sophisticated, easy to use application for the user."

Akhirnya PS3 upscale PS1, PS2 dan DVD-Video

PlayStation 3 (PS3) 1.80 firmware update membuat PS3 mampu men-upscale game PlayStation 1 (PS1) dan PlayStation 2 (PS2), serta DVD-Video, menjadi 1080p (Full HD) pada layar HD.

Update ini juga menyertakan RemotePlay, fungsi yang mengijinkan pengguna PSP untuk mengakses PS3 mereka dari seluruh penjuru dunia (selama ada akses internet).

PS3 kini juga mampu secara langsung mencetak gambar pada beberapa printer Epson.

dan ini sedikit pejelasan mengenai upscaling oleh Ludikhris.

I did the update. On LCD screens this does some magic to PS2 games.

Hope this answers your questions......

WHAT UPSCALING DOES
Upscaling affects the resolution of the game, so the jagged marks that plague a picture not suited for a HiDef LCD and lessened. They also added a smoother for PS and PS2 games, this smear the textures a little to make them look better. I know the textures on FF12 looked pretty bad on my LCD but when I downloaded this between the upscaling and the smoothing I am pretty happy. Too bad I already finished the game.

WHAT UPSCALING DOES NOT DO
In short it does not create new data to fill in the resolution. I just bases what appears on what is around it. Due to the increase in resolution there is some serious alias and interlacing that needs to be done. When you watch the screen close enough the games that do not support Progressive formats have some interlacing issues. So because NEW textures are not created but more "borrowed" you are not seeing "true HD". In a bluray disc each pixel is its own, the textures are original so the picture appears perfect.

Think of it this way. With a high resolution you CAN represent awesome textures. However with the same resolution you can represent a two circle sections one white one red. Now the red and white circles will not look amazing, but they will look much closer to circles at 1080i/p than they would at 480i/p where you would noticeably see the jagged edges around the bends.

Many people confuse resolution with complex textures.
You can play Atari games in 1080p, they arent going to look like PS3 games though.

Overall, good update! Im turning a PC into a media server based on the new features!

Play PS2 Backups on PS3

pizzag on Afterdawn forum has posted a tutorial to boot ps2 backups on ps3.

OK, I wanted a fairly easy way to play my PS2 backups on my
PS3. I have read that you can do it by taking apart your PS3
and cutting a hole in the top and yadayada. Leaving the top
off of my PS3 to play PS2 backups didn't sound attractive to
me. So i searched around and found a forum for PS2 talking
about a tray switch for the fat PS2's back in the day. So i
did some brainstorming and figured it might work. I went to
Radio shack and purchased a 3 way toggle switch for $5. I
highly recommend 3 way. At radio shack it was called a middle
off switch. That way your drive motor is not constantly running.
I came home and soldered the wires to the switch.

A note before we start. This is a fairly easy process, the
most trouble i had was trying to figure out where to put the
switch. there is no room to work with. I ended up taking out
my card reader on my PS3 because i never use it and just mounted
the switch there. You could possibly let it hang out. It's up to
you. Just remember that if you plan to retain original
functionality as far as the drive sensor and automatic load/unload motor, you will need 2 additional small on/off switches.

for the complete tutorial, go to this thread on afterdawn forum.

if you have Blu-Ray Writer, please try copy a ps3 game, and try it. and please tell me is it work?

.hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce FMV

Its almost a week im playing .hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce.

and i already released the FMV in AVI DivX :D
my releases will not be hosted on an sites (slow internet, hard to upload or torrent :D)

And, the FMV quality is worse than vol1, maybe thats because Bandai-namco include .hack roots episode 1 on the .hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce game disc. it take 1GB !!!

Play as Azure Kite? Ovan? on .hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce

When reading .hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce walktrough by Zer0, looking a way to beat Oswald, i stumbled on chracter modifier code :D

there i found codes to play as Azure Kite, Auze Orca, Azure Balmung, Ovan etc.

Typed the code to my codebreaker, boot .hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce, and its really work :D
Ovan have 7000GP, have some attack skill, but i have not tried his skills (the game crash when i press R1 and use Haseo's skill).

i'll try that tomorrow (if i have soome free time) :D
and i'll give some screenshots


btw, heres the codes

.hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce CODEBREAKER code
Master Code (must be ON in order the code to work):
9012FED0 0C04BF5C

Play as .... (use only one, dont activate more than one)
10AC82E4 0000001B - Play as Azure Kite
10AC82E4 0000001C - Play as Azure Balmung
10AC82E4 0000001D - Play as Azure Orca
10AC82E4 0000000D - Play as Ovan

for the complete codes (Codebreaker and ActionReplay MAX / ARMAX), go to gamefaqs, and look for Zer0's .hack//G.U Vol.2//Reminisce Walktrough.
