Silly really. > When somebody mails me about "hacking the PS-X" these days, I tend to > say "Don't bother". This news just makes me even more likely to do that, Sorry, I didn't mean that. I meant that with the yaroze door closed, the ONLY route available to the budding game programmer who wants to work with a PSX is the AR route - so you cann't very well say "buy a yaroze" when they cann't. A shame, as the best thing about the yaroze is actually the newsgroups and person to person support (the pro support isn't really like that, with a couple of exceptions). Maybe SCEE should produce an officially sanctioned re-flash, and sell it with a news/www server access id (if their short on Yaroze machines, it'd make perfect sense). > Nick F Craig.
