Alright, my website is back online! It should be much faster than it was before, as well. Just a few more files to finish uploading, but they aren't anything too major that would majorly affect downloading stuff linked on my videos. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the lack of communication

different aliases and such, from my ex, and even though the old VPS is gone, I don't know if she can still somehow connect to the machine and mess it up, or push an update to whatever repo she added and brick my system

Maybe I should host my data on a server instead of my own hardware?

Any advice?

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 1d

I don't know if I can ever get the site back online, I'm afraid.

I trusted my ex as basically being my system admin, cause she was my partner. It's a huge amount of responsiblity to put that trust in anyone, and I'm not sure if I can, truthfully.

Plus, my system was setup with stuff like...

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 1d

I've had some people comment on YouTube about what happened to my site and the files?

The data all still exists, however, I had nuked the VPS the server was routed through, when I was feeling suicidal.

And since bridges between me and my ex are unlikely to ever be rebuilt...

The point of the shell of a UMD is to protect the Disc.

With that in mind, what the fuck happened here?

I doubt the replacement shell is to blame, since other games ive bought have them, too. To think the game was sold to me as tested and working. What a joke!

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 5d

It does, only if you have a PSP Go, and connect a dualshock 3. Otherwise, it doesn't have it.

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 5d

I tried asking a few people in a discord im in, but didnt get any responses, so im hoping someone here will perhaps know

Is there an easy way to enable analog on a psp 3000 for PS1 games? I saw a plugin called pops analog, but it requires files from a psp go and other stuff, so it's not really useful to me. Most games only really use the left analog stick, and Id prefer to play games like crash team racing with analog

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 5d

I don't plan on running my UMD games from ISO, but I did want to test to make sure my first game is all fine. So far, so good.

Sadly, the thing is rather small for my hands, and hurts to play. I'll try and push forward, but will have to not play too long, I guess?

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 7d

Thank you! Hope you're doing well 💚

The heck you mean I'm 23 now?

I didn't mention it earlier, since I don't like to steal attention or anything like that, but today's my birthday!

Here's a part of what I got myself for my birthday, while I wait for the main thing to come in :)

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 9d

I have like 5 more skill points left, but I think I'll come back to them later. With how close I am to platinuming Ratchet 1, I hope to at least finish that game off. But for the others? I'm just going to play them casually for now, for my own sanity

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 9d

Holy hell, that sand mice skill point on Batalia is so annoying. You have to go back to the one sand mice summoner each time it disappears, ugh

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 9d

Granted, the gold weapons and ryno make this grind way quicker, which is certainly nice, but still... If this is how I'm feeling about ratchet 1, maybe I shouldn't try and platinum the others?

I at the very least want the save data, so I can use it for 2 and 3, for weapons and discounts.

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 9d

Like, I need to get a skill point where I turn a tank into a chicken with the morph o ray, and to do that, I need the o2 mask, so the poison doesn't hurt me.

Because I'm doing challenge mode, I have to go to pokitaru again, to get the mask again.

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 9d

My hands honestly hurt from trying to do that damn hover board under 1:35:00 trophy. I'll have to grind at it later, I guess.

I'm also, unfortunately, getting kinda sick and tired of the game, since this is my 4th replay now? Having to get all the gadgets again is so irritating.

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 9d

Trying to get the platinum trophy for Ratchet 1 (I'd like to eventually platinum all of the games), and I've gotten all the gold bolts, gold weapons, the ryno. At this point, it's just doing the skill points, and that horrible 1 million bolts trophy.

The latest update is like 4.92. IDK what model you have, but, PS3HEN has HFW available for that, so you can still mod it. Dunno about the CFW side of things tho

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 16d

Piece of PS3 homebrew just to sort your games list alphabetically since that's not built into the os for God knows what reason.

It's a minor inconvenience, but still annoying none the less. I'm not sure if homebrew could even fix that.

I'm actually referring to the PS3 versions of the games. It's true the OpenGOAL ports aren't 100% perfect in that regard either, but they're way better off than the PS3 ports.

I'm only playing them for trophies, tbh

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 17d

The same issues go for sound effects as well, with them generally just sounding off compared to the original releases on PS2.

Jak 3 might suffer less, since it uses streamed audio for the music, but I imagine the same issues with sound effects still apply. Guess I'll find out.

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 17d

The audio panning of the music is quite broken in 1 and 2 especially, which gives the impression of channels and instruments being missing, and in the case of Jak 2, I've heard some instruments play at the wrong sample rate outright. The bonk sound is also just the wrong sound entirely on Jak 2.

Infomaniac95 @maniac95.info · 17d

Christ, the Jak ports are baffling to me. Gameplay wise, they're like nearly perfect, minus the punch glitch that sometimes makes your punches go a random direction, and I swear also the jump dives.

But audio wise? Wow, they are SCUFFED compared to the PS2 originals, especially on headphones.
