Install-o-tron v0.1 |

Fanjita and AlexRichter's Install-o-tron is out. The homebrew app utilizes the PSP-Homebrew.eu database to grab the latest homebrew games, download, and then install them to your PSP - all without having to use a PC intermediate.
It's still an early version of the app, so the complete library of homebrew games isn't in the Install-o-tron yet. The presentation is also a bit rough, but come on guys it's a v0.1, updates are bound to be made. And what's more, the Install-o-tron is an outstanding tool that simplifies the process of installing homebrew into your PSP.
Future releases should come bundled with all eLoader releases, so there should be no need to manually install it.

As mentioned by a MyQJ blogger last month, the new law would require the ESRB to play through the entire video game to "properly" rate it, and to develop a "general rating system" to cover all electronic media: TV, movies, music, and video games.
The reason why "Congress doesn't get it," as industry watchers have noted, is because video games aren't like movies, music, or TV. This isn't a two-hour snorefest with a clean beginning and a clean end. Video games are time-intensive, player-interactive, storyline-branching, Easter-egg-dropping entertainment that nothing else can compare to - and that's just the beginning. Add user-created content and the online experience, and the ratings job becomes Herculean, if not impossible.
Article's conclusion: ask the ESRB to play through an entire game to see all its hidden and overt content, and it's practically asking them to sign their own death warrant, by Congressional act. While the ESRB may need some beefing up, this Congressional solution it seems, is taking a sledgehammer to the entire thing.
Whatever happened to simply playing these games with your kid? Freedom of expression in media and in the net notwithstanding , it's responsible parenthood, and kids growing up need a responsible role model - or at least someone to remind them that unlike Grand Theft Auto, the real-world police will pawn you. Heck of a lot cheaper than any bill Congress would pass, too.
Speaking of which, this reminds me of a joke. Pro is to con as Progress is to...
The rumors are true. And if you do not have a PS3 preorder receipt from Gamestop or EBGames you won't ever get one now. Just 24 hours after the top video game stores announced that they would be accepting PS3 pre-orders from today, Tuesday, October 10 they have sold out. The stores wanted a lump sum of $ 100 for a preorder of Sony's next generation Playstation console which will hit the shelves of North American stores on November 17th this year and only a limited number of PS3 consoles were available for each EBGames/Gamestop store, leading gamers into a mini-lottery that they had a very small chance of winning.
The more addicted gamers from across the US camped out overnight and were first in the stores when they opened to pay their $ 100 deposit and get a place on the golden PS3 pre-order list for the $ 599 60GB version of the console, fighting crowds, and limited supply which ranged from four at a store (in Detroit) to 16 (at a store in Seattle, Washington).
A Gamestop representative told IGN that each store had a quota of "no less than eight pre-orders or up to 16. The number allocated is based on store location and traffic." The rep went on to state that currently pre-orders for PS3 were closed. Currently, there are no pre-orders available in Canada but the representative did say that Canadian PS3 pre-orders will be "available as soon as possible." But surely if no store had less than eight pre-orders, how did that store a Detroit only have four available? Let's hope that it wasn't those dreaded EBGames employees buying all the stock.
And apparently there's a noticeable difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, but we'll get to that in a bit. As our friends over at 1UP pointed out, once we heard Tony Hawk's Project 8 for the PS3 would be shipping without online support (according to Neversoft Sony didn't supply them with the necessary info in time) it kinda cast some doubt as to whether other third parties could get online working in their launch games.
Consider that cast doubt uncast as Activision today officially confirmed that Call of Duty 3 will indeed have 24 player online multiplayer in a released fact sheet. Coming back to the tangible difference between the two versions of the game,

also, I just realized something, if EVERY 2.x+ person is to use this because of hte eLoader with it and such, that leaves all who use it suceptable to a brick since any dedicated person could easily hack into the database, replace w/e they want with a bricker, and the user of the app wont even know it!
Good concept, bad usage. *thumbs down*

- wider list of supported homebrew
- support for 2.71SE fw
- anti-brick scanner built in
- support for installing apps that weren't downloaded using installotron (i.e., for the non-wifi-ers).
=> #10 : That temp file is tidied up properly, as of release 0.3 (which can be auto-installed)
=> #11 : yeah, whatever.
