Dear lazyweb, is there a way to get a preview/screenshot of a Mii on Linux? I managed to transfer the Mii, but am unable to find a tool to give me a preview. I’m wanting to have a high quality screenshot of it.

This little editor does seem to work under Mono (wow), but I can only load, edit and save the mii, not really get a preview of how it looks. The miieditor.com seems to be killed off by Nintendo .

Update Garrett found the Mii Editor editor, but the extracted SWF file fails to open a file when run locally or hosted with apache :/.

So apprently Valve will be selling Portal separately, not part of Orange box. This is one of the games I really wish was available on the Wii. If it at least ran under wine :/

A hilarious documentary about gaming. Czech, but with English subtitles.

Update: Direct links don’t work, so here’s the project page on doc-air.

What a cool hack.
Not only can you control the PSP with PC input, you can also forward
the display over the USB cable. Seriously fun.

15 frames per second sound real bad, but it’s actually better than what you see on the demo above. Quite playable.

Operation successful. The patient is alive and well.

I managed to break my PSP on Saturday. I dropped it onto a concrete floor when it fell off my jacket pocket as I was dressing up. The battery popped out, the drive shot the media out. It was quite a pectacular crash. My friend noted “if it survived this, I’m getting one”. So I put the battery on and power it on. Smile on my face. “Look”. But then the UMD drive went reading on and on …

After not getting any specific date from a local SONY Service and the need to ship the PSP to Prague, I decided to order the drive and apply czechnology. If you’re not in a hurry, these guys have the drive fairly cheap. I wasn’t sure to trust the $8 shipping either.

The process went fairly well, except it took a lot longer than I expected. I did manage to screw things up in the process. When trying to open the outer drive bay door, my screwdriver went a little too deep and broke the knob on the side. Superglue saved the day. Also when putting back the controller buttons I didn’t position the pad precisely (it fits into the LCD frame) and the right button didn’t work properly. Apart from that it went fine. So now I can compare the insides of the PSP and the gp2x too as I broke the gp2x’ headphone connector as soon as I got the console. It’s like comparing a macbook pro to a didaktik M (my first computer). A milimeter is a lot of space inside the PSP. Being inside the gp2x is like being inside a rintimpin.

Now I need to start looking for a decent case.
