Playstation 2 Emulation

Recently I started playing all my old NES games on my PSP using emulation. Replaying all the old games I bought over the years is great fun.

I own a PS2 and a few PS2 games but with my new HD LCD TV the PS2 games just look bad. So eventually I decided to ask the Googler if there was something I could do about it and that is how I found PCSX2.

PCSX2 basically emulates a PS2 console, but I can now make use of the nice goodies in DirectX 10, so my old PS2 games really look much better.

Paired with my XBox360 wireless controller these games play just like in the old days, but with better graphics.

USB Safely Remove

I eventually bought USB Safely Remove. If you make use of USB devices, especially USB drives and flash drives, then this tool is essential.

I find that sometimes when I want to remove a USB device from my PC that it won't detach. Sometimes it is something obvious like I am still copying a file to it, but sometimes you have no idea why it won't detach.

USB Safely Remove fixes that. It will force detach the device if you are certain that everything is finished. It will also tell you which process is preventing you from detaching the device.
