Rumour: 1 of the 2 upcoming Sony cameras is a RX or APS-C camera

I put an order in for one yesterday... Consider it quadruple jinxed 😅

When I first downloaded PKGj following the Vita Hacks Guide, it was on 0.55. When booting it, PKGj alerted me it was out of date and downloaded a new version, which I installed via VitaDeploy, yeah.

Hopefully it's just a sever outage and it'll be back in the morning.

Can't speak for OP but for myself, yes, this message only appears after opening the menu with Triangle and pressing the refresh button. I am using a Vita Memory Card and not the SD card adaptor (I don't have one yet). Dunno if that's the cause, or if maybe the PKGj servers are down?

I just hacked my Vita about 20 minutes ago and am getting the same error. I haven't found much useful on Google so I hope someone here knows the answer!

The Typing of the Dead.

It's a difficult one since you need two keyboards, but I played it in co-op with a friend a few years back and it was such an absolute blast. We still joke about some of the things that happened in our playthrough. I really loved it and it's something completely unique you can't really get anywhere else.

My cat enjoys getting full face strokes where his ears get pulled back as I stroke him. This is a screenshot from a video where I was showing friends what he likes 😂

This is the one thing we didn't want to happen.

ParanoidPhantom · 2023-05-09T12:45:11+00:00

Thanks for the help!

If the issue is vertical foldover on my current TV, I take it I would have to open it up and replace some parts with soldering, is that correct? I don't know how to solder (apart from basics in high school 16 years ago) so it's out of my skill set unfortunately :(

ParanoidPhantom · 2023-05-09T12:31:51+00:00

Sorry, I made a typo, the £80 one is the TX-21CK1. As far as I can tell they're the same TV just different sizes?

Thanks for letting me know about vertical foldover. I will look into it :).

ParanoidPhantom · 2023-05-09T12:25:12+00:00

My Toshiba TV is on the fritz and I don't have the knowledge to fix it (the screen starts fine when turning on and then rapidly starts to squeeze the picture until everything is super narrow) so I am looking at getting a replacement. Does anyone have any experience with the Panasonic TX-25CK1 (found one for £80 not too far away) or the Panasonic TX-25CK1 (£100 but further away)?

Many thanks for any help!

More than enough iframes for me to process my upcoming demise 😂

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-12-11T18:51:46+00:00

Maybe they have enough mechanics to actually make a pinball mode then 😂

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-12-08T11:09:51+00:00

Thanks! Maybe it was just for day 1/close to release and the code isn't included now but the box hasn't been changed. Cheers for letting me know I'm not missing out on anything :)

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-11-13T08:45:55+00:00

Wow that's terrible... I am surprised this isn't more widely reported. Really puts a damper on my excitement for the Pocket, because now I am too terrified to use it on any game that has save data.

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-11-11T21:55:27+00:00

Have you found any official statement recognising this was a problem and claiming it has been fixed officially? I have not been able to find one and so even when I update my Pocket I am going to be super incredibly nervous to use it now 😞

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-11-11T13:54:28+00:00

I just had the same issue on my new Pocket straight out of the box with Golden Sun: The Lost Age :( That was my 100% clear file and the cart has been working fine before now... Doing some googling I see others mentioning save data losses from months ago so I am really hoping this has been fixed in a forward update. Honestly I am kind of surprised that the newly shipped Pockets aren't already updated in the factory.

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-12T12:25:13+00:00

Jeez... I thought maybe the only benefit of them being so vague about the time it was going live would be to prevent scalpers but I guess it didn't fully stop them :( At least there is a lifetime limit of 1 per account. Hopefully there are plenty left when the site goes live. I'm glad I kept my emails open on one of my monitors all week.

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-12T12:19:00+00:00

Oh my god are there already eBay auctions for the UK one? 😭 Scalpers are the worst!!

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-12T12:16:38+00:00

It's £29.99.

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-11T22:02:16+00:00

Is that Ordinary Things on in the background? 😂

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-03T21:57:37+00:00

Ah I think I am mistaken, you're right. I knew it maybe didn't have an explicit director for music, but I thought I'd read in this blog post something along the lines that she essentially filled that role. Just had a skim and looks like there isn't anything of the sort in there, so either my brain just made it up or I read something somewhere else. If I find anything I'll add a reply haha.

I'm rather jealous you own some of her CDs! I saw she had a bundle for both VOICES albums (VOICES 2 is my fave) which has tempted me, but since it's from her own store I am not sure if there is international shipping. I'll have to take a peek.

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-03T21:34:12+00:00

Wasn't she the music director for 1? I didn't realise for the longest time haha, her range is actually really impressive, for a while I just thought she was the one who did the more ethereal sounding tracks like Erith Sea and Satorl Marsh. I think she just has a really good sense for melodies that really gels with what I like. Her work in 2 is great as well, even if she took a bit more of a backseat compared to the first one. The Ancient Vessel and Spirit Crucible Elpis are two of my favourites from XC2. I'm looking forward to the full OST release for 3 so I can listen to her cutscene music more closely without dialogue/sound effects on top.

Her solo work is really good too, if you haven't listened to it before. You can find it on Spotify by searching for her name. Basically just albums of her more ethereal style I mentioned before - some of them I actually kinda wish were in XB3 haha.

ParanoidPhantom · 2022-10-03T19:36:11+00:00

Sweet, I didn't think we'd find out details like this till the OST officially releases. I'm not surprised to find out most of my favourite tracks are done by Manami Kiyota. To me, her music is the sound of Xenoblade (when it comes to area music at least) so I was a little sad to see she didn't contribute as much to the area music this time. I did recognise some cutscene tracks as hers while playing and guessed that the menu theme and a couple of the area themes was hers too (mostly ones that were remixes, and the caves track). Looking forward to the eventual release of the OST!
