97w ago - Hi guys, this is
Condorstrike thanking PS3 NEWS for all their support and involvement in the PS3 scene, and for allowing me to announce the opening of
Tortuga-Cove.com which includes my new
MultiMAN Theming Tutorial WIP on our
Forums.
Tortuga-Cove.com is a Web site created by Gamers for Gamers, including me and some great friends from the PS3 scene, like
S4BRE,
moogie, and
GoTiT4FrE. We offer news and discussions about gaming in general for all consoles, but our PlayStation 3 roots are obvious; also the great developer
Rogero, themer
Opium2k and other great guys from different scenes are involved in this project.
I consider PS3 NEWS my home cause of their support and professionalism, so this just means I have two homes.
Also follow up on my newest app Solar, still working hard on it with no eta yet...

but with Rogero's help, I might bring something new and cool to the scene... i'll keep you updated, and hope for a fast release.
CAW!
OK, bug has been fixed and now reads from al USB devices... SD cards, etc... and won't hang if missing MUSIC folder, will upload in a bit.
