bluemax151 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks for the replies on NCS. I guess I'll preorder through them. I used to get most my stuff from a local User's Side but they closed their doors a while ago unfortunately. It was awesome to have an American based store front for instant import gratification.

sdf2501 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Is it just me, or does Minmei kind of look deformed in that LE cover? Or just really, really young or something? Either way, she just looks kind of off to me. Quote
Renato Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) More news in this week's Famitsu, including pics of the Prototype Monster from MacZero, the Ravens scheme VF-19 and the VF-4. There was more, but I forgot. Edited August 29, 2009 by Renato Quote
Roy Focker Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Got a lead on a slightly used PSP with a Price I like. Might have one next week. Quote

Either way, she just looks kind of off to me. Wasn't she like... sixteen when she was an idol? Or 18 in the movie version? I don't remember... In any case, she was a teenager. But maaaaaaybe, just maaaaybe Mikimoto is a closet loli otaku? =P Quote

NCS is based in New York, so they are an american based store, just not a physical one. Quote

Renato Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 http://www.4gamer.net/games/094/G009441/20090827049/ More news. Apparently, if you have saved data from Ace Frontier on the memstick when you load up Ultimate Frontier, there will be some kind of bonus extra thing... No details yet though! Quote
Keith Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 aWESOME! VF-22S(GK) Gamlin Kizaki comfirmed! In addition to the already mentioned VF-4. As for a bonus for Ace Frontier save data, I hope at the very least it's carried over tune points, and at best carried over heart levels. Quote
bluemax151 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 NCS is based in New York, so they are an american based store, just not a physical one. If I lived in the L.A. area I could just hit up japanvideosgames.com. They're always nice and knowledgeable when I talk to them at cons. Quote

As for a bonus for Ace Frontier save data, I hope at the very least it's carried over tune points, and at best carried over heart levels. Yeah, that might be good, but thinking about it, it might make the game less fun. I mean, who wants to start the game already ultra-powerful? And the way they keep everything secretive implies the "bonus" is something a little more... substantial? It might unlock some secret characters or something. Quote
Keith Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Me, I leveled up a bunch of crap, and want to start off super powerful! Actually, tune points likely will carry over, but you'll still have to unlock the stat limiter to use the bulk of them. Quote

Graham Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 So how does one tell what region is ones PSP? Quote
Hikuro Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Uh.........can't recall, but it'll work on games but from what I've understood, US PSP's will only play US UMD's...so you'd have to own a PSP from Japan to play the Japanese UMD's unless Bandai's smart on this...... Quote
big F Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Uh.........can't recall, but it'll work on games but from what I've understood, US PSP's will only play US UMD's...so you'd have to own a PSP from Japan to play the Japanese UMD's unless Bandai's smart on this...... IIRC the UMD movie regioning is the same as the DVD regioning. Firmware update is most likely gonna be a necessity. Just hope that DarkAlex comes up with a "fixed firmware" with a high enough release number before the release of MUF. Quote

To clarify: - UMD Movies are region coded (according to the same zones as DVDs) - UMD Games are not (generally) region coded (so a US disc game should be playable on an Asian or Japanese PSP) To tell what region your PSP hardware came from, open the battery door and read the model number (Order in the list below is Model Number, Country of Origin, DVD/UMD Region): PSP-1000 - Japan - REGION 2 PSP-1000 K - Japan - REGION 2 PSP-1000 KCW - Japan - REGION 2 PSP-1001 K - USA - REGION 1 PSP-1002 K - Australia, New Zealand - REGION 2 PSP-1003 K - UK - REGION 2 PSP-1004 K - Europe - REGION 2 PSP-1005 K - Korea - REGION 3 PSP-1006 K - Hong Kong - REGION 3 PSP-1007 K - Hong Kong and Southeast/East Asia - REGION 3 Of course, this is for the original fat (or phat, I like to call it) model. If you have a slim 2000 or 3000 series, sub it in (so instead of PSP-1000 for Japan, it'd be PSP-2000 or PSP-3000, etc).

GGemini Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 So how does one tell what region is ones PSP? The box of your PSP should have something like this: and the number assigned to each region is as the list sdf2501 posted (1 US, 2 Japan, 3 HK & Singapore, etc...) Quote
Keith Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Definately crossing my fingers that Bandai will forget to put a region code on the UMD. Quote

Box!? That went in the bin, 5 minutes after buying the thing nearly a year ago (or whenever it was that MAF came out). Graham Quote

protostar8 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I'm confused. Why is everyone so worried about the game and modded PSP's? I've had a modded PSP for a pretty good while now and I haven't really had any problems. Hell, even the new Final Fantasy works fine with my CFW version. DarkAlex was great, but I'm sure he wasn't the only person doing CFW work. Quote
Keith Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Graham wanted to know if his was compatable with Japanese UMDs if they put the lock on there. Quote
bluemax151 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah the UMD movie region lock is totally there. I have a JPN fat PSP now and I can't play US UMD movies on it. Although I guess it's good news for me because I can play the JPN UMD movie that comes with the limited edition. Quote
sdf2501 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah the UMD movie region lock is totally there. I have a JPN fat PSP now and I can't play US UMD movies on it. Although I guess it's good news for me because I can play the JPN UMD movie that comes with the limited edition. I think that's a big part of it there too. Some of us run custom firmwares, but are concerned that the UMD movie won't play on it. Custom firmwares have support to play video from multiple regions, but it's kind of wonky and sometimes (most times?) doesn't work properly. I guess we'll find out when it comes out, along with if we'll be forced to upgrade firmware versions to play the game. Quote
bluemax151 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I'm running custom firmware too. I've tried a couple of tricks to change the region coding and/or ignore it but they haven't worked so far. Honestly I haven't tried too hard though. Quote
Roy Focker Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Did some shopping today. Bought this hard case for my new used PSP 3000 and then preorder this game from National Console Support. Paypal balance is looking pretty slim now. Quote
CrazyMartian Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 All this waiting is killing me... And the release is still a month away!! AAAAARGH!!! Quote
Keith Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 All this waiting is killing me... And the release is still a month away!! AAAAARGH!!! it'll go by like that. Now waiting for the shipment to arrive at your home, that's gonna feel like forever! Quote
D.D. Ivanov Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Ugh, the 10 days after I order it from EBay are gonna be terrible... But at least I can focus on having the highest level character in the US version of Dissidia until then. ...Because that save file with the 100% completion is clearly a hacked game. Quote
CrazyMartian Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Heheh. I had forgotten about the delivery time... Damn. I suppose I COULD get into the semi legal-illegal realm of downloading an ISO. I mean, I already paid for it. Still, it doesn't feel right. I'll have to strenghten my patience... But man, once I get that thing in my hands, I'm gonna be twitching like a chicken with an epileptic seizure... And I KNOW everyone in my house will be pestering me for stupid stuff. It happens every time... Fortunately, this one is on the PSP, so I can bring it with me to school and work. MUAHAHAHA... And when people at school pester me for letting them play, I can just say it's in Japanese. Works every time. >=) Quote
