ORP beta released, brings PS3 Remote Play experience to your PC or Mac
Sure, the catalog of compatible games hasn't been as hefty as we'd like, but Sony has done quite a bit right with its PlayStation 3 / PSP Remote Play feature. Modder Dashhacker (with special thanks to noted PSP hacker Dark_AleX, among others) has released Open Remote Play v1.1 beta, which lets you take that same Remote Play experience onto your Windows PC or Intel-based Mac. The caveat here is that you'll still need a PSP handy to set up the application, so don't go thinking you can bypass the portable altogether. The OS X version apparently works well, but Windows users may ample bugs -- it is beta, after all. We haven't had a chance to try it ourselves yet, but don't let that stop you from beating us to the punch -- just let us know what you think. Alternatively, you can peruse video of it in action after the break. Read - ORP v1.1 Beta Read - Google Code project page
Sixaxis gets the blues
Does your Sixaxis controller need a shade or two of Smurf in its life? PS3 Scene forum poster ebphondaprelude thought so, and turned the LEDs in his PlayStation 3 controller blue. All you need is some 2.8v LEDs, a soldering iron, and the courage to bust open a $50 controller.Sure, some of you might think red LEDs are the way to go, but Sony is the purveyor of all things blue. Don't you want your controller shining like the diodes in your disc drive?See Also:How to mod an Xbox 360 controller's LEDs[Via Engadget]
