81w ago - Following up on his previous video, today Spanish PlayStation 3 developer DemonHades has announced that the OpenPStore for JFW DH PS3 Custom Firmware is near completion finally.

To quote, roughly translated: JFW DH, OpenPStore almost finished

Good demons, as well the title says you can see that we have almost completed the OpenPStore, this being great as I wanted

As you know the open will have all homebrew, patches and plugins for DH JFW without relying on the Web sites.

Who does not have Internet on the PS3 must be downloaded from the Web site of OpenPStore and then install the same way from an external media (USB).

It should be remembered that DH will be compatible with JFW 3.41 and 3.56 MA, provided they are not the files for Thegra (which only supports 3.41)

The only thing needed will be internet connected PS3 (not the PSN) to download content, and then from viewer to install downloaded content easily

1saludo and hope you like it! With The_marioga, Blipi, DanteHades, Makykiki and always by the testings

Now he's overseeing the restoration of one of the earliest games of his career with Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, coming to PSP on April 19th.

On the cusp of Final Fantasy IV's 20-year anniversary, Tokita explained his goals for The Complete Collection. The basic expectations are well and truly met: You'll get remastered high-res artwork that takes full advantage of the PSP's widescreen display, eye-catching new 3D special effects, an updated English translation, and two soundtrack options.

Also, for the first time in North America, FFIV will be presented in its pure, uncensored form, which will primarily translate to a few skimpier outfits and a handful of mature references omitted from previous releases.

What won't change is the story, which...
