I ordered a 'Belkin ClassicBoard USB 107 key black' from jungle.com but got sent a Belkin UltraBoard 98, so I'm sorting out getting it replaced. I'll tell you what the ClassicBoard is like if I ever get it (looking like after Christmas), but it should at least look nice as it's black to match the PS2! ;) I haven't had a chance to code much on it, but I want to set up a website (as there's nothing about that I can find yet, except the official one) and I'm typing up the tutorials which are built into Yabasic, so you don't have to read them on a TV screen (bleedin' 'orrible!), then I'll work on some demo stuff, and a basic 2d game (prob. a shooty game of some sort). I want to try some sort of 3d engine - maybe just using the built-in triangle tool, and flat/gradiated shading, or maybe a full on, draw-your-own-triangles engine, though I think that would be pushing it. I'm upset there isn't some 3d demo code (that I can find at least) as the playstation-basic.com site has a screenshot of a 3d object and Edge mentioned a 3d demo or a ball, or something. I wish they'd put that in the program. Maybe OPSM2 can start having programs on their demo disk to download to Memory Card to then load into Yabasic. Cya, Rikki
