Play Classic Games on Your Wii Through Emulators and the Homebrew Channel
by webmaster on Jul.22, 2010, under Wii
What is the homebrew channel?
The homebrew channel can do many things with your Wii console, including watching movies,listen to music and play games. Besides that you can use emulators. You can emulate old super Nintendo entertainment system, Nintendo entertainment system , Sega genesis,etc… roms to play them on your Wii. The homebrew channel is not an official channel, you can’t download it through the Wii store. You can get the channel by modifying your Wii. This can be done in two ways, the oldest method is the zelda twilight mod, this method isn’t used anymore by many people because it requires zelda twilight princess. The second method is called Homebreware, an easy guide to modify your Wii without voiding the warranty.
What is an emulator?
With an emulator you can play older games from other consoles. There are several emulators, for example you can play the super Nintendo entertainment system game super mario all stars on your Wii console. These games called roms will be played from your sd card on which you load the roms in a folder called roms through a sd card writer.
Using an emulator?
First of all you need to get the correct emulator for the correct system, you can not play Gameboy color games with a Nintendo 64 emulator. If you have found the right emulator, type the name into Google and find a website where you can download the emulator.
Most games are played with a Gamecube controller or a Wii classic controller.
Wii emulator examples.
There is a Wii Super Nintendo entertainment system emulator called Snes9x GX which I like a lot, it plays all the games in full speed, another useful emulator in my opinion is Wii64 which can emulate the powerful Nintendo 64.

How to Fix PS3 Problems
by webmaster on Jul.12, 2010, under PS3
As more and more advancements have been made on gaming devices, we seem to encounter more issues. A good example of this would be the PS3. It is said that the PS3 has more problems than its older version, the PS2.
It might surprise you to know that this is not a manufacturer issue, but most likely, a ‘user error.’ It seems that gamers often make things more complicated than they actually were and this results to an increased number of problems and complaints.
If there is something wrong with your PS3, usually, you have the option to troubleshoot it on your own. Most troubleshooting procedures are the same with any other gaming device or console, and there are in fact more than one or two options, and which one you choose would depend on you.
Here are some of the simple guidelines you can use.
1. Cable connections
It is a common problem among gamers and more often than not, such a problem could be fixed by simply checking on whether the cables are properly connected or not. You will sometimes encounter the blinking red lights issue on your PS3 and this can be resolved by ensuring that the cables are plugged in to the console properly. Sometimes, this problem could also be due to damaged cables so when this happens, you need to replace them.
2. Display issues
When using the PS3, a gamer might run into some problems with the display. To fix this, you can try two options: 1. reset the console and, 2. refresh the display. For the first one, all you need to do is reset it to default settings and as to how you can do this, you can find easy-to-follow procedures on the net. For the second option, all you need to do is to press the power button for as long as it takes the console to beep twice.
3. Resources
Troubleshooting guidelines can be found in many websites. You can download them or simply refer to bits and pieces of information found on the internet. The details you get can be overwhelming but of course, you do not need to master them at one time. All you need, really, is basic knowledge on how to fix simple PS3 issues. A note to remember is that there are really times when you need to go to a service center to have your PS3 fixed, especially if the problem pertains to its hardware. Issues such as, when the disc will no longer load will require replacement of important hardware parts and will need to be taken cared of by an expert.
The important thing here is that you know what you can do on your own, and you should also be aware of when it is time to get a hold of an expert technician.

You sign on the dotted line, give someone your credit card information, and the next thing you know you’re knee deep in the wide international community of gamers and Xbox fans that make up the Xbox Live community. You never knew you were going to need a dictionary to wade through all of your choices.
Here’s a quick look at the options that are available to you as a new member of Xbox Live:
1) Silver membership. Anyone who purchases Xbox Live subscriptions first has to be a silver member. Silver membership is an orientation into the world of Xbox Live. When you sign up for a silver membership you’ll be able to create an avatar to represent yourself online, chat with people all over the world, create a profile showing your gaming prowess and download games and movies from the Xbox Live Arcade and/or Marketplace.
2) Gold membership. Gold membership is the next step up and offers you everything that silver does (plus a few things it doesn’t). With gold membership you can capitalize on one of the most truly unique features of Xbox Live subscriptions, and the reason they and many other online gaming experiences have become so remarkably popular-multiplayer gaming.

When you share a multiplayer gaming experience with other people who have purchased gold Xbox Live subscriptions you have the chance to go up against or join forces with some of the most talented players in the world in games like Halo 2, Street Fighter, Ghost Recon 2 and Star Wars Battlefront II (so much better than the original).
3) Xbox Live Codes. The codes you need to sign up for Gold Xbox Live subscriptions. Your Xbox Live code is what will officially move you up in the world of Xbox gaming and make you a permanent part of the Xbox Live community.
4) Free Xbox Live Subscriptions. You’ve probably heard a lot about Xbox Live subscriptions. Guess what? It’s all true…well, most of it anyway. There are numerous places online you can go to obtain Xbox Live codes for free, but most of them aren’t for permanent membership. What they are are a temporary gateway to the Utopia of Xbox Live that allow you all the privileges of gold membership without having to pay an extra penny out of pocket. At the end of a month, six months or even a year you upgrade your temporary membership to a regular one and become a permanent member of the Xbox Live online community.
