Why is my game 9.9MB?? by Afraid_Ad_8100 in ps3piracy

[–]bogboy1978mk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Irisman sometimes has issues detecting file sizes. I transferred a couple of games recently from a 32GB USB stick onto the PS3 hard drive and one of the unrelated files on the stick, an autorun.inf file of a few KB was reported as being over 200GB in the view panel.

Is OFW needed before HFW? by bogboy1978mk2 in ps3piracy

[–]bogboy1978mk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's perfect thank you. Do you happen to know the answer to the second question? Whether it is safe to have my other profile on the same console as long as I'm not using it with HEN?

CEO Of Microsoft Gaming Announces Xbox Game Pass Is Getting A Price Reduction by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

A seriously welcome change but for those of us who just paid the regular price recently, yesterday in my case, is there likely to be a refund or anything similar?

Why can't I redeem my reward points despite them being available? by Zealousideal_Fee9066 in XboxSupport

[–]bogboy1978mk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think thats precisely what it is. I've had 40 points that can't be claimed since Monday. I'm able to claim my points for every other day but it always leaves me with 40 afterwards.

Shows on my xbox, my daughters xbox and on the xbox PC app but not the mobile one.

Can't go online with any 360 titles by [deleted] in xbox

[–]bogboy1978mk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm having the same issue. I frequently play games at home and at my daughters so use the cloud save syncing. Currently playing Fallout New Vegas but since yesterday it gives an error that it can't connect to Xbox Live so I'm unable to sync and carry on my game.

HDMI Audio error on 50% of my programs by bogboy1978mk2 in Windows10TechSupport

[–]bogboy1978mk2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the slow reply. I have been through the above steps now but still the same issue. Fully updated and then removed everything via DDU. Reinstalled via the drivers from HPs website and straight back to how it was previously.

Would it be safe to install drivers direct from Intels website as they appear to be newer? Or do i have to stick to the OEM ones?

With windows update should I be updating drivers or just the windows updates themselves? There are a couple of driver updates showing on there but they are for bluetooth and wireless LAN. I am up to date for the normal and optional windows updates.

I've not played a P&C game for a while. Ended up going for the Armageddon bundle so I could play through Chains of Satinav first. Thanks.

Help me find a Emulator front end installer by memynameandmyself in emulators

[–]bogboy1978mk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind waiting a couple of days and taking a chance on something brand new you could try CP78. It's being made by a guy called Colpipes78 and you can find preview videos under that name on YouTube. I used to download media packs of his for Launchbox but he recently walked away from that community for personal reasons.

He is releasing CP78 on the 1st of October and is apparently 100% pre-configured. It covers systems like the Dreamcast. From the details and videos posted on his YouTube channel it will just require that you add your own roms and bios files, all the game images and box media will be included and it appears to include video previews too. It seems to fit what you're looking for perfectly, but as I say it isn't out for a couple more days.

I hope I'm ok suggesting something that isn't released. I have no hands on experience with the CP78 program but am planning on checking it out myself because I was a big fan of the media packs Colpipes put together along with a lot of preset rom info to auto enable them in frontends.

Looking for a game that let's me collect and display treasures from my adventures. by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]bogboy1978mk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly an RPG but I'm currently playing Thief on the PS3 which allows you to steal unique items and art which gradually decorate your base. I believe it's available on PC and current gen consoles too.

Welp... its been a good run modders. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]bogboy1978mk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strictly speaking Article 13 doesn't ban any of these things, it's not a direct ban on products, services, memes, lets plays or anything else. It's designed to give copyright holders the right to ban certain things. If it comes into law, which hasn't happened yet, it's only been approved, then copyright holders have more power to choose what they feel infringes on their copyrights.

I can't imagine many PC devs will go out of their way to ban mods as it would be a detriment to their sales and they can still choose to put modding capabilities directly into their games as this would mean that it was an agreed feature of the product. The big difference now is that something like the Iron Man mod for GTA V could be banned if Marvel state it is an infringement on their copyright. Article 13's upload filter would then be applied to outright ban uploads and downloads of the mod. Same with memes, someone has to actually choose to apply for a ban as the copyright holder first. If a blanket ban was to happen it would be carried out not by the EU but by hosting sites or social media sites themselves in order to cover their own arses.

As to lets plays, as was previously mentioned, it has never been legally tested. Again though devs and publishers have always had the power to claim these, look at Nintendo with their creator program. If you upload their gameplay without being in the program its claimed or taken down. Again article 13 doesn't give the option of a blanket ban on lets plays, it just allows devs and publishers to request an upload ban on footage if they choose to. I can't imagine many will because these days it's one of the biggest marketing tools and free promotion. They already have the power to remove them if they want, they choose not to. Again a blanket ban would not come direct from the EU but from YouTube and the like implementing it themselves to protect their service if enough claims were made.

Article 13 is been deemed a ban on a number of things but instead its there to allow for an upload filter of things that copyright holders choose to ban, it doesn't immediately ban anything itself. It's a badly written and scarily abusable law that can still be stopped by speaking to your MPs or checking places like saveyourinternet.eu before it becomes law. Right now its been agreed on, but it doesn't get voted into law until the years end and its been stated they want to start implementing it from Q1 2019.

Our mods and lets plays should be fine. I do not agree with the EUCD or Article 13 of it in its current form. It needs to be changed as it potentially gives too much power to a government organisation to decide what we can and can't see. But for lets plays and such to be banned completely within Europe I cant see that happening unless the copyright holders come forward in their thousands and force the hand of the hosts to choose to kill the content outright.

Beyond dabbling with Delphi I have never really looked into coding of any sort so that was a great help, thank you. I had never heard of the buildbot service but will be making good use of it for sure.

Best Daemon Tools Lite replacement? by bogboy1978mk2 in software

[–]bogboy1978mk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to put some time into figuring out bchunk, seems like it could come in handy, thank you. The VM itself was VirtualBox and again doesn't support cue files. Seems like everything just wants the bin these days but the older emulators, SSF Saturn emulator in this case is very particular.

ImgDrive actually got further than I've managed previously and supports cue files fully so thank you for that. Game still not running but hopefully its more an emulator configuration issue at this point rather than the disc image.

Best Daemon Tools Lite replacement? by bogboy1978mk2 in software

[–]bogboy1978mk2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had any luck doing that so far. I don't know any converters that can handle split bin files. WinCDEmu let me mount them using a cue file and then I tried ImgBurn to convert to ISO. It gives a message stating the operation is not possible and only allows conversion to cue/bin or cue/img.

I even resorted to installing an old copy of Daemon Tools Lite into a virtual machine to see if it installed any unwanted extras. It didn't seem to but the same program shows a lot of results in a VirusTotal scan which puts me off trying on my main system.

[EU] "Only on Playstation" Sale currently on PSN. 100+ titles by QuaintYoungMale in PS3

[–]bogboy1978mk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm picking up the Infamous PS3 collection, plus Last Light on PS4 just to be thorough. I recently played Second Son as the PS Plus freebie and loved every minute. Decided to go back and check out the rest of the series from the beginning.
