On both my PSPs (fat and slim), I have 5.00 M33 firmware installed. Awesome firmware that it is, I can't boot Resident Evil 3 anymore (it's a PS1 game), but I used to before the update. When I try to boot it up, it says
The game could not be started.
(FFFFFFFF)
Is this a common problem or am I missing something? I have no plugins running.
I gotta beat Nemesis, man! He's taunting me with his one-word vocabulary.

Press any of the arrow keys to rotate the cube, and hold the space key to drop a cluster immediately.

I didn't divorce anyone and fall ass-backwards into money like he did, but I'm noticing I'm ****ed.

My mom died 8 years ago, feels like yesterday, she was a single parent, raising an only child, we were close, she died a horrible death to cancer, the 2nd rarest form in the world, 5 months upon diagnosis she was dead, and bed ridden those 5 months cause cancer snapped her spine.

Part of me is mad at God, cause everything religion teaches us is bull****, if God loves us, this **** wouldn't happen.

I got laid off 5 months ago and havent been able to find a job, at 27 I'm living with my grandparents and contemplating things every day. I'm drunk as I write this, I'm drinking way too often.

This isn't a woe is me thing, I'm just....I feel lied to. My whole life I believed certain things and certain ways and as of late I'm questioning them and feeling pretty ****ed over.

I don't understand life and there's an anger inside me I keep denying, and as I deny it, deep down it keeps building and building and I'm just afraid one day, I'm just going to snap.

Not much else point to this thread. I'm just a sorry ass that has no one to confide in but a forum, flame me if you'd like.

The end.

L’opérateur mobile japonais KDDI a annoncé avoir atteint 500 000 inscrits à son programme "Smart Sports Run&Walk ". Lancé à la fin janvier 2008, ce service a pour but d’accompagner les utilisateurs de mobile sportifs en gérant les données d’entraînement collectées quotidiennement, tels les parcours de jogging suivis par GPS, ou le nombre de calories consommées grâce au compteur de pas. Ces données sont consultables sur un site mobile, ou sur le site portail de l’opérateur sur PC. Pour parfaire son approche, l’opérateur lance des terminaux spécifiquement conçus pour ce service, de même qu’il mène une collaboration avec Adidas pour proposer des accessoires ou des lignes de vêtements inspirés des mobiles. Ce service propose aujourd’hui non seulement l’enregistrement des données sportives, mais propose aussi de suivre les conseils de professionnels, appelé Karada Manager (karada = corps en japonais), depuis cet automne.
