Ace of Spades for the PC is now completely translated into English. It’s a popular strip Poker/Blackjack Ero-Game published in 1996 which features some really nice artwork characteristic of its time. Also, filler did a great job with the translation.
Story-wise, it’s certainly not the best among its peers but it’s a fun game and will definitely entertain you. Check the README for other details and enjoy!
NOTE: This game is not meant to be played by minors due to its adult content.

After apparently twelve long years, the combined efforts of Aeon Genesis and Some Good Shit Translations have finally produced a translation of the “lost” LUNAR title: Walking School for the gamegear. The patch now ready and the game can be enjoyed completely in English! Have fun, and don’t forget to remind Professor Dadis of who you are every now and again.

As promised, the PlayStation Store has been updated with Minis that actually work on your PS3. The process of finding new and old Minis to play on your PS3 system couldn't be simpler; but, just in case you're a little baffled by firmware 3.15, Minis developer Halfbrick has created a tutorial video explaining the process.
If you've already purchased Minis and want to play them on your home console, all you have to do is go to the Download List of the PlayStation Store. We tested a few Minis on the PS3, and we'd have to say that the PSP upscaling is good, but not perfect. While the games are very playable on a TV, it's clear they're still low-res games being played on a high-res screen. Still, it's a good value-add for those that have both a PS3 and PSP system.

For those of you who felt that Final Fantasy VI (known as Final Fantasy III outside of Japan) was too easy, Final Fantasy VI Hardtype is for you!
Final Fantasy VI Hardtype is basically a rebalancing and difficulty hack that also includes a variety of glitch fixes. This includes the Vanish/Doom Fix and Genji Glove Fix amongst others.
This is purely a gameplay hack. The story has not been changed!
A few of the major changes are enemy AI, and Espers. Enemies actually use intelligent and more powerful attacks more often. Enemies can be tough. Who knew?
Some espers now teach different spells- and a new spell has been added: Blind- which is learnable from Ramuh.
Even if you’re not a huge fan of Final Fantasy VI, it’s worth checking Hardtype out just to see the wide variety of changes made to enemies.
Try and beat the Dragons and Omega- they’re now true superbosses!

In a survey of (presumably) eBay prices for rare and collectible games, MTV Multiplayer's Jason Cipriani illustrates what re-releases of these games do to their resale value -- and, by association, to the people who hoard these game for profit. As it turns out, re-releasing rarities like Dracula X affects game collectors negatively in the same way it affects normal people positively -- by making the games more easily available, thus driving down the cost of copies in the original format. Won't someone please think of the jerks trying to make a profit from their rare games?
To use another Castlevania example, Castlevania Chronicles: Cipriani found a three-year high price of $70 for the 2001 PlayStation release in 2007. Two years later, after the game's release on PlayStation Network, physical copies dropped to a low price of $26.93. The people who just wanted to play the game could now get it for six bucks, leaving the PS1 discs for collectors only.
It's not as simple as a re-release dropping the value globally, however: the data shows some weirdly fluctuating prices, like Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on PlayStation, which seems to have gone up in price significantly following a reissue. Perhaps interest rose when buyers got the idea that it was even possible to buy an old Atlus game.

[Yuppicide] sent us a link to a photo album of an Atari 2600 modified to play ROMs stored inside. We did some digging around and have an idea of what’s going on. It seems that the creator, [Victor] has taken his Atari 2600 cartridge emulator one step further.
Previously, he had replaced the chip in an Atari cartridge with an EEPROM that he could reprogram via a ribbon cable. This new iteration places that EEPROM inside the case of the gaming console along with a PIC development board. The PIC board interfaces an SD card with somewhere around 1200 ROMs on it. Three switches added to the front of the Atari allow the user to cycle through available games and flash the desired title to the EEPROM. As you can see, a 2×16 LCD display now resides in the cartridge opening.
This seems a little more eloquent (and less legal) than the Super Genintari.

Here's my guide, it's in PowerPoint form, but it's packed with info! I normally update it about once a month 
---Intro---
"Which PSP Is Right For You?" was originally a comparison PowerPoint to help new PSP buyers decide which one to get, but as the version number increased, more and more basic info was added to it. It was re-named at v4.0 to "Beginners Guide To PSP" so people would know it's a lot more than just a comparison. For more info on what's in it, see this page on my website.
---BGTP v6.4----
It's already been a year since I started BGTP  It's come a long way, and to show it, I've included a special v1.0 Anniversary Edition. This special v1.0 has the same slides as the original v1.0, but the info has been updated, I mainly did it to show just how much BGTP has changed over the year, and it's sometimes fun to look back
Changelog:
Download:
Beginner's Guide To PSP v6.4
Which PSP Is Right For You? v1.0 Anniversary Edition
All older versions can be found on my website here

Issue 71 of Retro Gamer is out now. RG is a dedicated retrogaming magazine from the UK, but can also be picked up worldwide from certain outlets. This issue's highlights include:
After Burner (Arcade feature)
SID chip feature
Roger Kean and Oliver Frey (creators of Crash magazine) interview
The Making of... Toe Jam & Earl

Don't bother much with contemporary reviews that RG insists on covering, but Beneath A Steel Sky: Remastered interests me.
There's a YouTube clip preview of the magazine here:

Ten years have passed since the MadHacker first did his translation for this and now after all these years, I feel I have a definitive patch for everyone. Aside from nostalgia and that cool Gryzor title screen, everything is superior to the old patch. I mean no disrespect to the MadHacker and his patch, but ROM hacking has come a long way since the early days and I am here to show that. Enjoy the fruits of my labor.
