    FarSight planning massive PS3 update patch--maybe

    Well I've actually been to a website on the PS3 Browser (can't remember which now) where when I clicked on a link to a special file, a message asked me "do you want to install this software?" It was not one of those stupid malware banner ads either... this was a real message from the system...

    FarSight planning massive PS3 update patch--maybe

    Thanks for the answers to my stupid question. I guess I had the wrong idea about it... I thought that the various tables were just "skins" and the engine itself was all in the main game (which could be patched like normal). Apparently I was wrong. Now one more stupid question and then I promise...

    FarSight planning massive PS3 update patch--maybe

    I have a potentially stupid question, but at the risk of sounding foolish I really need to know the answer: Why is FarSight seemingly the only one with this problem of SONY not allowing them to spot-patch their game? I have updated every single game on my PS3 at one time or another, and never...

    PS3 - Request Option to disable two-stage flippers

    Not DualShock/ShockAxis, I have an Original 60GB with SixAxis controllers, and I'm using those. I usually always press the triggers at least 70%, so that's probably why I never notice it. --Jim

    PS3 - Request Option to disable two-stage flippers

    I never even noticed that there was two-stage flippers until I read this thread. Then I actually tried it by deliberately softly tapping the buttons, and I still could only get it to work as intended half of the time. I ether have a very sensitive controller, or a very hard touch, but I've never...

    Ball rolling sound?

    Hmm that's actually surprising about the mono sounds. I don't know about ambient arcade sounds. It might be neat, it might be distracting from the game if it's too crazy. That's one thing I never liked about arcades; sometimes I couldn't hear my own game because of the noise around me. I...

    Ball rolling sound?

    It's actually the same with ProPinball, if you turn the music off you can hear the ball rolling. With the music on it is much harder. But anything that adds to the realism and ambiance is welcome in my opinion. 5.1 surround would be nice, simply because I wouldn't have to raise my volume...

    Thank You FarSight!

    Okay so I just updated to 2.13 the other night, and I notice that two of my biggest complaints have been FIXED! - The camera zooming in on table elements even when the camera was locked is now corrected so that the camera stays still when it is locked. - The camera views are now saved correctly...

    Mandatory PSN Plus subscription

    This is basically my situation right now. I only play online occasionally (maybe once or twice a week) when I have some friends on and the time for it. We play some quick matches of Street Fighter / Virtua Fighter, maybe a few races on Burnout. Nothing major, but I can't really justify a Plus...

    Mandatory PSN Plus subscription

    I've never really found Plus that useful honestly. I had it for a short time, and canceled it fairly quickly. The discounts weren't enough to justify it alone, and the free games are removed when you cancel, so it's more like a "rental" rather than truly being free. Requiring Plus for online...

    Do not update ps3 firmware!

    Actually, back when the 2.41 brickings occurred, Sony was charging $200+ for each repair, and a lot of people on the PSN forums were quite angry, but still were sending their consoles in for repairs just to get a working system again. So really I think that Sony did get away with it in the end...

    Do not update ps3 firmware!

    I updated my original 60GB fat/chrome model which has been going strong since day one...... and.................. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It's still as strong as ever! :D Really though SONY should be beyond all these dangerous console-bricking bugs by now, I mean come on, this is not...

    PS3 - Request How to re-assign buttons

    This is something I want too, and for the exact same reason -- wanting to use the X-Arcade flipper buttons in TPA. So this is my long way of basically saying "+1". And welcome to the forums. :) --Jim

    Changelog for Updates?

    That's the thing I don't understand. Why keep the changes secret? One of my friends said "it's because they aren't really doing anything." But if that was the case, then why release an update at all? Then again, if they were actually doing something, why not make the list public? It makes no...

    Changelog for Updates?

    I know that on Android when updating there is a "What's New" section just as with every other app, but since the PS3 does not natively have this feature, is there a website or other way to view the changelogs for the updates? Having just recently updated to the latest version of TPA on the PS3...
