No Nonsense Review: Cake Mania Baker's Challenge PSP

I am not joking when I say this game could be a smartphone game. All you are basically doing is taking orders and making cakes. If you rate it like that it's fairly average for a smartphone game. As for a PSP game? Also, Very average, may not be to everyone's taste.

Overall score 6/ 10

No Nonsense Review: Hakuoki Demon of the Fleeting Blossom PSP

This is not a game more a Visual Novel, which I quickly found out. As for the story, I thought it quite good the story focuses on Chizuru Yukimura (default name) a young woman who comes to Kyoto to find her missing father, and to her horror, the man she was to stay with a family friend is also missing. She quickly meets up with a young man who is connected with Shinsengumi (A group of Ronin dedicated to public safety). 

Later we learn of demons in human form, an evil scientist working for both sides of the upcoming Japanese Civil War, and zombie-like killing machines called "Furies". 

As to the story I really thought it quite well done, I am unsure for how many hours I played this but I stuck with it to my end. Where I learned the hard way that your actions will not only determine if you fall in love, or killed which my character was. Yes, I got the bad ending and a shortened game. It's supposed to run 9 chapters, mine ended in 8 and it was recently that I heard about a guide to the best ending. 

But you really don't need a walkthrough for this Visual Novel, just go ahead and play it. That is what I did and I know I will be playing this again. This time for love and a better ending. 

Overall score 9/ 10

No Nonsense Review: Astro Boy The Video Game PSP

Based upon the 2009 animated feature, even though you do get clips from the film, after the 3rd level each level after is similar to previous levels in the game, even the bosses appear to repeat. Unless your a fan of this anime it really isn't that good. There are better games out there besides this one.

Overall Score 4/ 10

No Nonsense Review: Bomberman Land PSP

Other reviews tell me that this game has 15 very addictive mini-games, but I am not joking after more than 30 minutes of a very lame number collecting game which also opens up levels. I  just gave up I just could not take it anymore it was pure torture.

Overall Score 2.8/ 10

Update: I did get a game save from GameFAQS to open up the mini-games which are okay at best. Frankly, I didn't find them addictive like some reviews said. But to me, the craziest thing is that I had problems finding them as the location of these minigames are not very obvious.

PS1 Game Save Saga Part 2 The Search Continues

As you might have guessed from the title I had no luck. I tried 10 different routes to find a way to transfer PS1 Game Saves to a PS3 without a Memory Card adapter with zero luck. Literally nothing I tried worked. Getting those PS1 Game Saves turned out to be easier than I expected but literally nothing I tried worked in getting the PS3 to accept those files. Not even the videos that claim you can transfer PS1 game saves to a PSP even worked.

There was one way I didn't try, mainly because that seemed overly complicated. It called for modding a PS3 and doing an FTP file transfer from your PC over your Network. I am no computer expert I just wanted a simple way of doing this that's all.

I am going to continue to look and ask whomever I can. If I find something I will post the answer here, but right now this is it.

No Nonsense Review: Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed PS1

This is the first time I ever played a Need for Speed game on the PS1. From what I have seen an above average racer, who I will admit I did have trouble with the controls...at first. But once I had gotten used to them I found an excellent racing game.

PS1 Game Save Saga Part 1

I am stepping aside from my usual coverage for a multi-part article on something that I fully admit would be too dumb to post. IE "Transferring PS1 Game Save Files to a PS3", because originally I thought because of Memory Card adapter I thought all I had to do was get those save files on a USB Stick then plug that stick into a PS3.

Wrong on all counts. I finally decided to buy a Free McBoot for my PS2, this way I could directly access the save files on the Memory Card. Which it did but I had some problems which I like to share. Once I figured out I had to use a Copy and Paste command. It turns out this also makes the Memory Card temporary unuseable. Why because once I did this I was not able to access that card period at least on the PS2. I literally had to turn the console off, unplug it and wait about an hour before it was able to read that Memory Card again. I have no idea why I can only assume.

The save files (PS1) have no file format but Win 10 is able to see them.  Once I put that stick in my PS3 and went to the Memory Card Manager it said and I quote "No Save Files Detected".

Since then I have done some research and have hit a couple of brick walls. Except for something about using FTP to transfer those save to a modded PS3 I could find nothing on how to do this. Except for 2 things. #1 It seems GameFAQS and other sites have a PS3 preformatted PS1 Game Saves. I really did not know that the PS3 uses the PSV file format for it's saves. It is possible to move this saves using a standard USB Stick in the following way.

PS3>EXPORT>PSV

Really I am not joking and the PSV files must be in that folder within a folder.

I also discovered that PS2 Game Saves can be transferred in the same matter.

PS3>EXPORT>PS2SD

I would do this but my PS3 is a later model and does not support PS2 games
