Yeah I picked up a new 3000 and I love the screen, its absolutely gorgeous.

I picked up Outrun 2006 and Virtua Tennis 3 for $5 a piece and the system came with Little Big Planet. I'm having trouble connecting to the internet now, it says my wireless router is not supported. I couldn't find a Sony card reader either so I won't be trying any emulators out until I can find one cheap. Best Buy did have 8GB cards for $30 today though.

Oops I didn't even think of that. Thanks for saving me $20.

Yes, I had this same issue yesterday when I was verifying things for Noise. I was like WTF? It was working the last time I had it. So I wiped out the directory, unzip the emulator again, put my 5-6 roms and tried again. It worked.

So Noise, try again but just unzip the emulator and the BIOS.

Did you see anything when it came up? It looks for certain directories and create them if they don't exist when you run it for the first time.

Maybe you can put your package on megaupload and I'll compare it to mine. At least, see if it works on my system.

I just tried using the file that you uploaded. Got the same issue. The emulator loads, I select a ROM and then it says "Loading ROM" and freezes, then black screen/hard reset. Sigh.

I would go with the 2000 series since it's cheaper and easier to mod the firmware. 8)
