Fixing the controller ports on PS1

Just a quick note. Today I successfully fixed dead controller ports on one old Sony PlayStation model 5502 using this awesome guide:

Basically, as usually for this kinds of malfunctions the culprint is a blown fuse near the controller board.
To fix it either replace the 700mA SMD fuse or wire a glass one to the sides of the old one. It's an easy operation and can revive your old PS1 in a matter of minutes.

Thanks to Andrew J McCubbin for finding the cause and explaining his findings.

Minecraft Joypad Mod for 1.6.2

Hi,

I've updated the Joypad mod to Minecraft version 1.6.2. While I was at it I fixed a bunch of exceptions that occurred in some cases at startup preventing the game from running. If you had troubles running the game before, try now.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to fix the floating hover popup thingy :(. I'm leaving that for the next time :)

Up to 1.6 - Minecraft Joypad Mod v0.14

I've updated the Joypad Mod to version 1.6.1 of Minecraft. It's compatible with the new launcher, and contains all of the old features of previous versions + the workaround for the "auto-strafe upon entering the world" issue. It's still not Forge-friendly, but it'll get there eventually ;).

Enjoy this version, and report bugs, so I can fix them for 1.6.2 ;)

Converting PSP save file to Xperia Play

I've created a very simple tool for converting PSX memory card images from PSP to Xperia Play. If you have been playing PSX games on your PSP and want to continue on Xperia Play you're welcome to use it :)

That is NOT the actual screenshot of the tool. It's the hex editor showing the PSP save file.

How to set up a perfect split screen for Minecraft on your PC

Today I wondered how to properly split the screen when playing Minecraft in split screen with the Joypad / Split Scren Mod. Before I got a second monitor I just used the Windows 7 snap docking functionality to split the screen evenly between two Minecraft windows, and nowadays I just run each window on a separate display. But this works only for the two players, and is kinda ugly since window borders are still being displayed:

Today I found a better solution - programs named WinSplit Revolution and WinExplorer.
