the hardest thing to do in Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max using the D-Pad even the raised version. Is the dragon punch using the Strong Punch button (L) but it seems alot easier using any other punch button its just its positioning... also taken into account the fact that the motion required in my oppinion is hard to begin with on the d pad because i'm used to playing street fighter games on a snes controller where you have part of the d pad covering the area's between each button so that you can actually press \ without pressing - and | at the same time.

That said inever had any problems playing tekken but i feel i have to force the diagnals a little bit more on SFA3.

Maybe its just somethingi  have to get used to through getting the diagnals gotten used to first for jumping, without havign to wory about dragon punch by playing someone like guile or blanka to be honest this is my first SFA game before this i'd only played up to SSF2T  so i dont know alot of these other characters.

Its a Australian PSP so probably a European one.

It came preinstalled with V2.71  

Yeah, the update software is designed to only let you update if a certain amount of power is detected on the battery. The only problem is the software hasnt been coded so that if it detects a AC Adapter that it can bypass this. Oh well, no program is perfect. That precaution is a good one tho to prevent the system stuffing up tho.

I figured it out, i just needed to fully charge the battery and then it worked fine. About the downloaded update i was looking in teh wrong place for it. 

I got my white ceramic psp on monday, and wasnt able to update the firmware straight away because my internet wasnt working for a few days.

Anyway i tried it today, and it downloaded fine, but when i went to install it it says "you cannot install this update cause your battery power is low" ... despite the fact that i had my AC adapter plugged in and was charging. So i tried this again once it had charged up to 2 bars and it said the same thing.

Now comes the troubling part....

After it wouldnt install it i thought "i'll cancell the installation for now....

So it asked me if i wanted to cancell and i said yes... Then it took me back to the screen where it says Update 3.30 and says "Start" Underneath it and the console had frozen. No keys would respond to me.... So i had to hold down the power button to switch it off cause just flicking it wouldnt work.

When i restarted the console everything worked fine again besides the fact that it automatically booted the UMD game i had in the console without me telling it to and i'm not used to it doing that automatically....

When i tried to install the update again, it treated it as if i'd never downloaded it before and proceeded to download the whole update all over again to have the same result as before.

Anyone know whats going on here? I know this may sound dumb, but do i have to wait for the battery to fully charge and then unplug the AC adapter? 

I'm 21, have owned my DS lite for a few weeks now and so far own:

New Super Mario Bro's, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Hotel Dusk Room 215.

I loved pokemon red back in the day and whilst i dislike the cartoon and the elementry kids that rave on about it, that was a damn good rpg and i'm actually considering getting diamond, i have no idea what pokemon games are like now tho.

Whats the name of that D-pad attachment that capcom sells/sold that makes pulling off moves a  little easier so that i can search for one......

thanks in advance,

Dan

Over the last couple of days since renewing my total access subscription i've had both the good taste and pc aficionado tag to have them disapear the next day for no apparent reason(i havent really changed anything on my profile at all except add a couple of PSP games that didnt have scores by gamespot since they were korean).

Maybe there is something i'm missing but why are my tags disapearing? 

I cant add Castlevania Portrait of Ruin to my game collection.

Yes i am from australia and according to gamespot release dates it only comes out on the 20th of april but this information is false.

I just bought it today at my local EB and its also for sale on gameswarehouse.com.au

and its not an import because it has the australian rating system logo on it.
