Did custom PC a while a go.

Now just got PSP with custom firmware and custom XMB, with plenty of other features, such as being able to play on PC monitor via USB, and being able to put my games on a memory stick so I don't need to carry around the UMD's which makes the PSP now "portable"

I've got a customised PSP too, got aircrack on it which is a useful bit of software if you 'forget' the password to your wireless network

 

[Alienfish360]

What firmware does aircrack work on?

I'm running 5.50 Gen-D2

 

[ollyc98]

I dunno, it's been so long since I set it all up (well over a year) I just use it now.

Google it and you may be able to find more info

 

[Alienfish360]

Picked up Assassins Creed: Bloodlines for PSP too the other day, great game!

I wish I understood a bit more of this computer techy business.

Here's a couple of mods of mine,

The watch on the left started out as two different watches both 70's/early 80's vintage Seiko 5 automatics, the case had a fairly inocuious silver face with baton markers, and that face and movement came from a case with enclosed strap lugs that I didn't particuarly like the style of, so I swaped the movement into the case I liked. I had to use the winder from a third spares watch to get them to fit, and also to use a crown wheel that was in better condition than either of the other two. In that pic it's wearing a Hirsh rally strap that I thought went really well with the tacho style face. Sadly it's been long since auctioned off in an e-bay tat cull, something which I now really regret.

This started out a as gold Minichamps Merc W123 coupe. They never issued a white coupe so this one got painted in MB Classic Weiss to match my car, it also got lowered a simmilar scale ammout to the full size one. I couldn't find any wheels that even looked a bit like the Speedline/BRM reps I had on the merc so its sitting on late model 5 spokes from another 1/43 MB model. Its pictured before I painted the silver and black details back in. I gave it to the lad who bought my Merc when he came to collect it.
