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.

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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...

  5. 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.
