thecoolestcow, install gentoo .. they have a w32codecs package :) ... I used to use debian but after all the packages like that for gentoo i cant turn back. .. now only if they would let me install a media player on my windows box at work then I could watch this...
now that we've all had fear stuck in our hearts, we should pour money into f-secure since they will now make an anti-virus software for our psp. Just as I can buy an antivirus for my palm, why not something for my psp?
"wow, that was dumb not to mention a really dumb way to waste $250"$250 is nothing. Several people probably blow more in the same amount of time when they visit Vegas and don't get crap in return. It wasn'tdumb at all. This is an ati-virus firm. You know that they're going to tear apart the PSP and figure out a way to counter the trojan. It's their job.Besides, it can be reflashed by Sony so all is not lost. It's just a matter of time before someone figures out a way to re-flash your PSP at home. So for those of you out there dumb enough to "downgrade" your PSP, don't give up just yet.Next comment: "why don't you just buy a brand new psp with a warranty and do this? then return it and get a new one."Because you voided your warranty so you can't return it.
Well, Bill Gates and the like, $250 is nothing. I also know a few 8 figure salaried people who spend more than $250 on stuff they never use. That's the same as bricking a PSP really; a waste of money.My boss bought a Pocket-PC,used it once and it's now in the bottom of his drawer collecting dust. It probably still works but it's still a waste of money if you don't use it.
Ugh, i hate WMV10. i can't watch it on mplayer in debian.Works well with Fedora Core 4 and Mplayer w/the Windows dlls. :)Funny video, but very cheesy intro. :)
