we said above: definitely. The PSP is only going to get better and better as this holiday season approaches. And it handles MP3s and photos very nicely, especially with a juicier memory stick. Unless irate grannies have their way, Grand Theft Auto will be coming out this fall for the PSP—none of the others can stake a claim like that. And as usual, as programmers learn to fully exploit the hardware, the games will continue to improve. And look at that screen!

No, the hardware is not the same, it is not backwards compatible and it does not have built in PS1/PS2 emulation.

In order to play PlayStation 1 games on your PSP, you must be running firmware version 3.00 or above and own a PlayStation 3 in order to download the games from the PlayStation Store. You will a memory stick duo of size 512MB or above in order to download games onto your PSP. Games can be purchased using a PS3 via the PlayStation Store option.

Necronomicon, like most conventions, offers a number of games, both tabletops and freeforms, from a range of categories.

Download disk images (e.g. .dsk, .nib, .2mg files) and use these as virtual disks to play the games on a PC or Mac via Apple II or Apple IIgs emulator software. Popular Apple II emulators include AppleWin and Apple Oasis. Normally disk images will be in .zip or .gz compressed form when downloaded. Use WinZip or a similar utility to uncompress these files. Download and uncompress the disk images of games you want to play. Then, transfer the images to your Apple II (or IIgs)-- e.g.

The PSP is multi-region so you are able to play games from around the world, although it is possible that not all games will work (so far, we have no evidence to prove this). There may be incompatibility issues with multi-player games when using copies from different regions. UMD Movies on the otherhand are not multi-region. If you own a European (PAL) PSP, you can only play region 2 UMD Movies, which means a PAL console can play JAP UMD movies, but not US, as US is Region 1.

Answer: No, as the PSP is smaller than a CD or DVD hence why it takes UMD instead. So Sony would have to relaease an external drive to allow these formats to be played.

Can I set my own hours to do this?Absolutely, one of the best benefits of playing games is that you can set you own hours for doing this anytime night or day. You are in charge all the way. You decide what games you want to play and when you want to play them. You are not required to play games for a certain amount of time to stay a member. You can work any time you have some free time or you can work all day long. It is up to you. The great thing is that whenever you work you are making money.

Play-by-post is a way of playing D&D (or any roleplaying game) online without needing chat software or a specific meeting time. Basically, the DM makes a post to a thread describing what the players see/hear/experience, and then each player responds with his character's reactions. Posting times vary between game, from fast games that ask for players to post several times per day, to games that require only one post per week.

No. There are some games that people could see as "ports" (GT4, Tony Hawks Underground 2 and Hot Shots Golf for example), but the amount of games like that are very few compared to all the brand new games being developed for the PSP. Those "ports" all feature new content as well.

However, if you're only going to save games then only Memory Stick DUO is needed (no magic gate protection).

The regular DivX decoder won't work (unless you manually change the FourCC). If that doesn't solve the problem, then you should use Media Player Classic or VideoLAN to play the file.
