Lik-Sang Back Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the passing-muster-in-redmond dept.

Alexander Burke writes "Lik-Sang appears to be back online (until we slashdot them). However, their selection of PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and Xbox "backup and import" (pronounced modchip) items seem somewhat lacking. Coincidence? Surely not..." This previous posting should provide some good background reading if you've not been following this episode.

    this site gamegizmo.com has a lot of stuff if you miss lik sang (or however it's spelled).

    Back online? isn't this the same story as posted on the 16th here? Seems they've been back for a few weeks, despite the attempts at slashdotting them previously

    For the XBox go buy a Matrix chip from EasyBuy2000. They are shipping them faster now and they don't require any soldering. Easy to install.

    There are some good homebrew apps coming out too. The XBox Media Player is very nice. You can stream VCD/SVCD/DIVX/MPEG to your TV. It works VERY well.

  5. Lik Sang still has MBV2; Game Gizmo has GBA flash by yerricde · · Score: 5, Informative

    In the GBA Develop and Backup category, Lik Sang still has the MBV2 cable.

    If you want flash memory cartridges and writers for GBA, CDworld and Game Gizmo still have them.

  6. Lik Sang is still viable by chickenmonger · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just because they stopped distributing mod chips doesn't make them a dead company. I look on their website and I see many things that I might like to buy...if only I had any money left from college tuition...

  7. Xbox incompatibility by yerricde · · Score: 5, Informative

    What TV can you purchase now adays which is not "XBox Ready"?

    How about a TV that pukes when it sees the 524-line (as opposed to 525-line) image that many consoles output?

    How about a TV that reacts poorly to Macrovision encoded signal?

    How about a TV with only RF input as opposed to composite video input (yeah, I still see those)?

    How about a TV that cuts too much off the sides and corners of the image?

    Any of those four might introduce a compatibility problem between a game console and a television set.

    You people do realize that it was primary Sony and Nintendo, NOT MICROSOFT, that causes the shut down of the site, right?

    Microsoft send a letter of support, and was one of the official plantiffs, but did not originally bring the case.

    Yet Slashdot still picks the MS-Borg icon for the story. How transparently bias.

  9. Why under Microsoft by i_luv_linux · · Score: 4, Informative
    I remember this story very well, because first it is reported as if the company closed its site due to Microsoft's efforts. Then when they opened it again, the news changed the story and said that actually Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo forced the company to close its door.

    I can understand Microsoft bashing, but this is pure lie. Next time, maybe it will turn out to be only Sony. The story changes every time.

  10. Success has them as well by yerricde · · Score: 2, Informative

    After a bit more searching, I found a GBA compatible 64 Mbit flash cartridge with a linker for only $50 + S&H at Success Compu.
