For those who tuned in yesterday, we reported all the nifty updates coming to the PS3 via the 2.50 update. We’ll our buddies at PlayStation Blog have shared the additional ggodies you’ll get in you bag.
“In addition to the features announced yesterday, Firmware 2.50 will feature Flash 9 support for the PS3’s browser, according to this post on the official PlayStation community forums.”
It completely blows my mind that people of the world continue using the technical blunder known as Internet Explorer when the best web browsers are available for free and are one easy click away from downloading. We’re always trying new things on Kezins.com and the biggest problem is getting those new things to work in IE. Like most other arenas, Microsoft doesn’t play fair. They continually change IE and do NOT follow current web standards. In addition to Explorer not looking “right” when viewing a lot of sites, it’s also full of security issues. It boggles my mind why anyone uses it. There’s not one single good reason to use IE.
There’s nothing more frustrating than setting up something new on the site to find out that it works in every known browser but IE. At that point, we have to waste hours and hours of time trying to figure out how to get it to work or to simply drop the new feature because of this. Microsoft recently promised that IE 8 would automatically follow web standards and for a while, we started to believe them again. It turns out their new project does NOT follow standards intentionally. In actuality, a user will be required to manually change the browser settings for this to work. Why does Microsoft play like this? I don’t think anyone has a good answer, but it’s time people stopped dealing with them. If you are one of those still using Microsoft’s browser, check out the following downloads which are all BETTER options:
Opera: Opera has a few issues, but it’s really fast and still superior to IE.
Safari: I’m actually using Safari as we speak.
Firefox: Probably the best for security and customization.
The day people stop using IE will be the day my life becomes a lot easier. We certainly waste a ton of time making sure things work with Internet Explorer, instead of moving on to more important projects.
For all you new Firefox 3 user’s out there, there a neat plug-in that brings most of your favorite NES roms to your browser. Now, I have to admit I like FCE Ultra emulator a bit better because it supports a joystick and ALL roms ( RiverCity Ransom is missing???). For the rest of you cheapo’s that can’t cough up $5 bucks for a Virtual Console release, FireNES has got you covered.
HOW TO PLAY NINTENDO GAMES IN FIREFOX 3
1) Get Firefox 3 (if you haven’t already you should be smacked)
2) Download the FireNES plugin.
3) Install FireNES and restart Firefox 3.
3b) You may get a pop up asking you if you want to disable or uninstall FireNES when Firefox 3 restarts. Do not do any of those things, simply close that pop up.
4) Click on Tools and scroll all the way down to “FireNES”. Select FireNES and a sidebar should pop up on the left side of your browser. This bar will feature a shit ton of classic Nintendo games.
5) To play the game of your choice, simply double click on it in the list.
5b) If the game does not load, you may need to install the latest version of Java which only takes a few seconds to install.
6) For instructions on which keys to press, right click on the title and select “options” from the pop up menu, then tab over to the “controls” tab.
7) Prepare to use the key combination of “Alt + Tab” to prevent getting caught playing videogames in your browser at work. Be smart, and there is no reason that this can’t remain our little secret.
Of course, all Homebrew Projects follow our Disclosure Policy… eww scaryyy.
