    The Fight Against Piracy

    I've read a lot about videogame piracy recently, especially since Ubisoft began implementing their incredibly draconian "online or bust" DRM on their newer PC games. Obviously a lot of gamers are complaining about it, and I started thinking about if there were better ways. Rather than being...

    I've recently upgraded to Gen D2 in order to play some of the newer PSP games, and I was wondering if anyone knew what effect the "On the Fly" decrypting has on battery life?
