I don't know anyone else with a ps2.

And I used to punch holes in walls.. and various things. After being screamed at enough, I stopped. Funny thing: My dad punch the car's windshield out.

A PS3 60 or 80GB? (The 20 & 40 don't play PS2 games).

Or, if you have a DVD drive in your computer, you could put the disc in and see if you can copy all the files from the disc to your hard drive. You won't be able to do anything with them, but if they copy without error, it's probably your PS2's laser.

If the labels are damaged, there's nothing you can do.

The 80gb does only software emulation and does not have the hardware emulation like the 60gb.

[Yata 0]

I do have a dvd drive. I'll try it.

And what are you talking about with the 80 and 60gb?

Edit:

I guess that cd is gone... I got an error [after having explorer stop responding and having to restart it] when copying the files.

The PS3 has shipped 4 different versions, with different hard drive sizes. The hard drive size is not the only difference between them, but it's an easy way to identify which model is which.

First, the 20GB and 60GB were released. 20 had no way to play PS2 games. 60 had hardware-based emulation of the PS2 (basically, it had most of the chips that you'd find in a ps2, including the Emotion Engine processor).

Then, the 20 and 60 were replaced by the 40 and 80. Again, the 40 has no way to play PS2 games, and the 80 does. This time, though, it's all software-based. It doesn't have any of the chips from the PS2, but uses a software emulator to run the games. The compatibility is lower than hardware, though.

They'll all play PS1 games, though.

RANT: Apparently, I'm the only person able to promote stuff to The Galleria.

And, I can't often do that since Intel's firewall blocks FTP traffic.

[pyrochild 344]

CMD can't?

[Mike Ryan 14]

I forgot that images were hosted on the getpaint.net server. At first I was like "You post via ftp?" then I sat down and asked myself the same questions and decided that was just stupid.

CMD can't?

Could this be because sabrown100 said that there are several "grades" of a moderator and admin?

[BoltBait 2,600]

No, It's just that I'm the only one with an FTP account at getpaint.net.

Now that I have the kinks worked out with my account, Rick needs to give the other mods accounts. At least, now he'll know how to set up the permissions.

GAHHH! My mom won't leave me alone, and I'm supposed to do this interview thing for Cairo. How am I supposed to find time if she doesn't shut up?!

How'd you get lucky enough to fall into THAT alpha?

[Mike Ryan 14]

Me and Pyro got into THAT alpha, but I suggested that he fill out an application to be a programmer for them. He did, and now they want to interview him.

[pyrochild 344]

GAHHH! My mom won't leave me alone, and I'm supposed to do this interview thing for Cairo. How am I supposed to find time if she doesn't shut up?!

How'd you get lucky enough to fall into THAT alpha?

Yeah, not interviewing for the alpha. (They'd have to do 250 interviews :shock: )

I'm interviewing to be a dev.

If the mother-person ever decides to leave me alone...

[Mike Ryan 14]

Ahh, Pyro only 200 interviews.

[Myrddin 5]

I'm interviewing to be a dev.

And when you succeed the interview landing the job, we can all have a piece of pyro to run our computers with. Give or take the definition.

[david.atwell 286]

Score! Awesome work, alter ego. You'll be a great dev team member.

[pyrochild 344]

if, not when. They probably want people with more experience and free time.

[david.atwell 286]

You could code your way out of a steel box. Just write a self-initializing .EXE that automatically puts you on the payroll when downloaded. :-) That'll wow 'em.

[pyrochild 344]

ep1c ph4il!

Michael Ciarlo: im sorry, but we are looking for someone a bit older. you should focus on your studies =)

Michael Ciarlo: no compromises on this im afraid.

Michael Ciarlo: I cant in good faith take you on as a team member

me: [sadface]

[david.atwell 286]

That is age discrimination. You should sue.

[Mike Ryan 14]

Awww, shucks. I sad face with you

[pyrochild 344]

That is age discrimination. You should sue.

Haha. Sue a freeware software project for refusing to allow someone to join as a volunteer. That'd go well...

[Mike Ryan 14]

I am going to talk to Miciarlo for you! Did you go by Pyro, or your real name that has slipped my mind?

[david.atwell 286]

Eauahm...yeah...;-)

Anyway, the fact that he dismissed you out of hand was somewhat unnerving...I would be miffed.
