I just saw this on another blog – A game of go played by some of the world’s strongest players, using human pieces! Hell yeah!

Recently we had a couple of Aussies come to stay over. One was my brother D, and another was his workmate T. His girlfriend, who I shall call E, came a bit later.

If you’re like me you have a Japanese PSP-3000, and no matter how hard you try, the ChickHEN exploit just will not run. I searched forums, tried all sorts of theme-resets, language changes, voodoo and so on, but to no avail. It just would not run. All that happens is the PSP would crash. Then just today I was in a bookstore and I noticed this!

Luckily I had 725 Yen on me so I picked it up. It turns out that somebody over here has already written and published a book about running ChickHEN and other homebrew on the PSP-3000. They don’t mess about!
After fiddling my way through it I had a couple of goes with my PSP. At first it didn’t work, but I didn’t give up. I tried again to no avail. Finally I combed the book once more for any insight and found something! It was so simple, how could I have missed it? So I tried, and then suddenly it worked!
Here’s how I did it:
Those kids are at it again, this time they recap the amazing events of a previous session. LISTEN and be amazed at what you hear. WATCH and be devastated when it all comes to an abrupt and unexpected end…
