Nintendo Wireless Router

Pip_X — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:25:37 +0800

I sure u all know this new product from Nintendo.
http://wifi.nintendo.co.jp/wap/index.html

I have my own Wifi router that is using WPA2 for security.
All my devices (laptops, desktops, NAS storages, PDAs, PSPs, even Wii) can connect using WPA2 without any problem.

Except NDS. Everytime I wanna multiplay NDS, I need to switch from WPA2 to WEP, then switch back once I'm done with NDS.
This is #$%@ing troublesome. With this Nintendo Wireless Router, I can set it to bridge mode and connect it to my existing router via a LAN cable, and configure it to WEP, so that my NDSs, and my friend NDSs can search and connect to it, instead of my existing router.

The problem is - what if other laptop found this Nintendo Wireless Router (that is using WEP), and decided to hack it and gain access. Will they able to see my network? Will they able to access to the internet?

Is there any better way/alternative of doing this?
Linksys with DD-WRT can do?

PSP Warranty Enquiry.

Pip_X — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 11:09:06 +0800

Beside Official Sony, which shop give warranty for PSP and the warranty covers what?
I know Gamers Solution only provide free checking and service for the PSP that they sold, but if parts spoilt, need to pay for the parts.
How about others? How about Gamers Hideout? Is PSP sold by Gamers Hideout is the official Sony unit that I can send to Sony Center for warranty?

This process start everytime I startup the computer.
This process use little RAM but as times goes, it eat more and more RAM until the computer hang coz not enough virtual memory.
Once I kill this process in the task manager, everything back to normal.
Tried to locate this process via manual file search, but failed.
HijackThis, Process Explorer, System Info failed to even detect this process.
Did a full computer scan with Kaspersky Internet Security 7 with the latest virus definition update, but nothing is found.
Searched Google, nothing useful information I got.

Most expensive shop?

Pip_X — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 17:22:30 +0800

Just now I went to Digital Mall, looking for my daily IT fix, suddenly saw a crowd and the annnouncer shouted something that really shocked me. He goes kinda like "Super Duper mega promo, original Wii initial price RM1699, Nokia N73 AP set initial price RM1699!"
EDIT: Current average price for Wii in KL is RM1450 with 2 games. Current average price for N73 AP set in KL is RM1450.

I shocked to the fact that they dare to publicly announce that they are offering phone AP set for sale! (Mobile phone AP set is actually illegal in Malaysia).

Then me heard one from the crowd shouted back to the announcer - "Wii dun worth that price!" Then the announcer shouted back - "U whine because u cannot afford it".

Wahahahahahahaa again I laughed to myself, and continue my original purpose at Digital Mall. Later I found out that the Wii package dun include the 2 free games & they dun even let u test the machine on the spot.

I wont buy my gaming needs from Digital Mall, ever.

Have you encountered much more expensive shop?
Plz post and share. Tq.

M-Life T_T

Pip_X — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 23:45:59 +0800

This is a Hyundai M-Life (dead now) 400F notebook.
Me wanna clean install WinXP, so me changed the first boot device to CD-ROM inthe BIOS. In addition, me also change enable the onboard USB support that previusly disabled, and also enable a setting that, instead of showing boot detail, BIOS show M-Life logo, which me forget the setting name.
Conclusion, me changed 3 setting in BIOS:
1) 1st boot device to CD-ROM.
2) Enable onboard USB
3) Show M-Life logo instead of boot detail.

After the change, the notebook dun boot anymore. When me power it up, the power LED lit up and the HDD LED blink for 2 seconds then nothing.

Tried to reset the BIOS setting by disconnect the CMOS battery and power up the notebook, still same. Connect back the CMOS battery, powered up the notebook, still same.

Mod note: No vulgar pls

iPhone interface on ur PPC

Pip_X — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:55:51 +0800

QUOTE

"For a few days before Chinese New Year, I've actually been quite busy developing my very own iPhone interface for the PocketPC. After looking at the functions and interface on the iPhone, I was keen on bringing it over to my Eten M600 PPC. The iPhone interface was pratical, looked neat and it was way cooler than any wm5 theme. And it was unique as well.

"Slide to Unlock"

The iPhone home screen.

The iPhone iPod scrolling effect. Watch the video below to see it in action.

Everything is written using PPL1.20. PPL can be downloaded for free from http://arianesoft.ca Although this looks like an iPhone, it will never be an iPhone. But until it is released in July this year, all we can do is to try and imitate. I posted the video on youtube. Watch here."

Hinter Wars BETA 2

Hinter Wars BETA 2

Pip_X — Sat, 18 Feb 2006 01:02:24 +0800

Date: February 18th 2006
Hinter Wars (DiGi Malaysia) http://www.hinterwars.com
BETA review by: Pip_X

An online MMMOG (3MOG) turn-based tactic-style game. Kind of like multiplayer Pokemon.

Early First Impression of the BETA version:

Phone version:
Official Recommended Requirement:
32MB of memory (MMC card)
MMC card writer or Nokia PC suite with connectivity cable / bluetooth required during installation
GPRS connection needed during game play
Supports the following Nokia handsets:
N-Gage
N-Gage QD

Although the game can be played with a GPRS connection, it is advisable to get a phone with EDGE connection. Also, although the official website only stated that the game works with N-Gage, virtually any S60 phone should do, I tried with Nokia 6260, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680 and Nokia N70. On Nokia 6260 it play smoothly with occasional lag because of the slow GPRS connection. Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680 and Nokia N70 plays very smooth without a hitch.

Graphics is on par with Pocket Kingdom but there's no sound and help and setting menu don't open in the BETA version. Even so, ultimately, this is the best S60 multiplayer game ever exist.

It's so convenience chatting in the game, pressing the right soft key bring u the chat interface with T9 text input. However, to do emoticons, we need to scroll each emoticon until we found the right one and then press enter or button 5, which is quite troublesome.

As with most turn-based RPG games, we need to constantly upgrade our character with greater weapon and armor, in order to advance to more greater dungeons and quests and to keep up with friends. We don't want that when friends starting to kill dragons and boosting about it but we are still killing bats, don't we?

PC version:
Official Recommended Requirement:
Windows® XP Platform
1.5GHz CPU or equivalent
256MB RAM
32MB Video RAM
128MB free hard disk space
16-bit sound card
Broadband internet connection
Keyboard and mouse

The PC version of the game is a Java application. If you got Java compiler already installed on your machine, make sure you are using the latest version of it, which is currently at Version 5 Update 6.

The PC version graphically almost the same as the phone version but with sound and clickable setting menu and help menu. However, the sound is only some simple "Doom" like sound.
The whole client is not as polished as the phone client, there's graphical appearances bug in the client. You'll be more satisfied with the phone version than this PC version.

Personal experience of getting myself a free Hinter Wars BETA account:
In Malaysia, in order to play this game with 9MB of GPRS data FREE, we need to register with DiGi. I, personally went to the Hinter Wars counter at the DiGi DSS at Lowyat Plaza on the first day of the little exhibition (17th February 2006). The exhibition was supposed to start on 11AM sharp but I reach there about 11.15AM, and yet be told that I need to come again around 2PM coz the exhibition people just arrived and need time to prepare for the exhibition. So I went for a walk and returned at around 12PM, finally saw them distributing fliers about the game. I approach one of them and starting asking question. Finally I was brought to the second floor of the shop to "install" the game to my phone and filled up some forms. From those friendly and helpful DiGi Hinter Wars's personnel, I knew that:

- To play the game, we can use either DiGi's prepaid or postpaid plan (Actually, any operator with GPRS but if it's not DiGi, you need to pay for the GPRS).
- 2 days after the BETA registration, we get FREE 9MB of data to play the game via EDGE or GPRS, which according to them, translate to roughly 30 hours of game play.
- Before the 2 days or after the 9MB, we get charged according to our GPRS usage. Eg; 10 sen for 10kB for prepaid. If we already subscribed to unlimited data plan with postpaid, virtually we play the game for free, until the BETA is over, which according to them, is on around middle of March 2006.
- Pricing on the game after the BETA is yet to be decided and will be announced on the official launch of the game.

After about 45 minutes on the counter/booth, finally I got myself clear on whatever we need to know if we want to play the game. For gamers who cannot go to DiGi to register for free BETA, you can refer to the DiGi website for online registration. If you register at the Hinter Wars website, u dun get free 9MB data to play with but u still can play the PC version for free until the BETA is over.

My character name on the game is Pip_X. If you meet me, plz do say hi to me, thanks.
