Tell me how it went

Tell me how it went. I currently bought an EyeToy for the PS3 for $25 including shipping on eBay but haven’t tried it extensively. I simply got to see the feed of the camera through their program but haven’t been able to use the camera through Skype or MSN yet. Either way it looks very promising!

Using your PS3 Controller on your PC

It’s recommended to have Windows XP or higher. It’s also been able to be used on a Mac via Boot Camp.

1. First of all download the driver and install the filter driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe).

2. Unpack the ps3sixasis_en.

3. Plug the SIXASIS to your PC via the USB charging cable provided with your PS3.

4. Run ps3sixasis_en.exe once.

5. Push the PS button the SIXAXIS once if your computer doesn’t recognize it.

FAQ

1. How do I know its working?
Simply go to Windows -> Control Panel -> Joysticks. It should be labeled as a joystick.

2. The lights are flashing!
Don’t worry, simply check to see if its recognized and if it works. It worked fine for me even though the lights were flashing. I tested it out using SNES9x and DualShock 3 with no problem.

Apparently Home will allow you to have your own private space and even buy premium items to accommodate your home. Several games will have their own areas with additional content. The amount of features are astonishing…

So what do you think? Is living in a virtual reality world something you are looking forward to? Don’t worry, if you do, we might make a Talk Binary area and have some meetings with fellow visitors. :)

Also, what do you think of virtual reality worlds? Do you think they are great way to meet boring fun new people? Is this the future of MySpace, Facebook? Should we even bother? Is Sony wasting their money? Are you going to try this out? Do you want to try this out? Will this make you steal buy a PS3? You tell me.

Before buying a PC game you must be asking yourself, can I run this? Looking at the System Requirements is sometimes not enough. Or simply, you don’t know what your computer has. Can You Run it? provided by System Requirements Lab allows you to find out whether or not any specific PC game would run on your PC.

So, can you really run it?

After selecting a game, the browser requirement will be installed with your permission. It will then gather information from your PCs hardware and software. It will then give you a nice detailed analysis rating your computer. It also offers suggestions if you failed some of the requirements. I tried Crysis, and here are the results.

They even provided me with a link to update my video card drivers! This is a great resource for those wondering if there system can handle that PC game.

PlayOn!

Simply sign up for the beta, it is open to everyone. I received an invitation within two days. I then installed the software, ran it on my pc, and seconds after I had PlayOn! capabilities on my XMB within my PS3.

Videos take about 10 seconds to load but after that, I had video up and running. Quality is same found on the websites so don’t expect HD quality. You get what you paid for! I mean, you did pay a lot for it…(it’s free).

With Netflix support coming soon, this application looks very promising. So what are you waiting for?

Here is a screen shot of the main menu:

My main incentive for making this game was to demonstrate the use of OpenGL and SDL on Windows. For that reason both the Compiled game and Source code will be available for download. With it you can easily edit images, and make your own changes to it. While doing so we encourage you to ask question in our forums as well as post your modifications. I hope everyone enjoys this! You can find the source code in our forums in our OpenGL board.

Instructions on how to play the game:

Click a selection block to select a character to go onto the floater.
Hit Spacebar to toggle between Selection mode and Go! mode.
When in Go! mode use Left click to move floater Right and Right click to move floater Left.

That is pretty much it.

Here is the link to the game & source code, Enjoy!
