God I still can't get over how botched the music is in the PS3 version of Jak II

I guess I must really hate myself because I finally just got Platinum in Fallout: New Vegas on the PS3 as well :^) At times this game felt even more unstable than Fallout 3...

How are Bethesda PS3 ports so awful that manage to completely break the system 😭 this is what my PS3 just displayed instead of the XMB after quitting Fallout New Vegas when it started running at 0.01 fps for the 500th time.

Me after Fallout New Vegas crashes 3 times within 5 minutes on the PS3
A tweet from Josh Sawyer, the director and lead designer of Fallout New Vegas, which reads "just remembered that someone mailed this to me in early 2011", along with a photo of the PS3 version with a sticker that says "Please fix and return."

Okay I spent like half an hour trying to get the rarest Minecraft PS3 trophy today, it's still not as rare as 100%ing Ridge Racer Unbounded, but it did break into my top 5 lol www.twitch.tv/edness/clip/...

I picked up Ridge Racer Unbounded earlier this year because I had vaguely heard of it as somewhat of a spiritual successor to Split/Second. I think it says something when the game has fully overtaken my rarest trophies, not even 1000 people have finished it, let alone less than 500 having 100%ed it.

Huh, is the infamously unstable PS3 FTP simply caused by a slow HDD? I got a some 1TB HDDs to upgrade in my PS3 and Xbox 360, and transferring back like 40k files in /dev_hdd0/game went by without a hitch on the new drive. Couldn't even get a fraction of it with the old HDD, had to copy via USB.

If I had a cent for every time the PS3 version of GTA IV has straight up deleted a vehicle right in front of my eyes I would have like 4 cents which isn't a lot but it's weird that it keeps happening

Edness @edness.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Am I crazy, or does the PS3 version of GTA IV feel like it has somewhat reduced physics fidelity than 360/PC? Feels like I encounter more random physics glitches than usual, along with the game in general trying its hardest just to stay alive on the PS3.

Not sure if performing the glitch to have all companions recruited together in Fallout: New Vegas was the smartest choice, especially on the already unstable PS3 version, but...

Decided to write up a blog post about the ancient Windows Movie Maker bug where it completely messed up colors of some images. It's not exactly a scientific write up but it doesn't seem that anyone ever tried to dive deep into this, so hopefully it can be a useful starting point
Screenshot of a blog post titled: Chasing The Ancient Windows Movie Maker Hue Shift

Leading paragraph: If you’ve ever been on old YouTube, you’ve probably noticed that people didn’t exactly take care of their videos back in the day. Washed out colors, wrong aspect ratios, extreme compression with enormous watermarks – all of that was a very common sight. But there is one artifact of the past, that has always piqued my interest. That is: The Windows Movie Maker Hue Shift.

3 years ago I picked up a copy of Fallout 3 for the PS3 that wasn't dumped on Redump yet. One sleepless night I decided to check it out, having never played Fallout but hearing a lot about it, and knowing full well Bethesda PS3 ports are infamously ass. Unexpectedly, I got really sucked into it...

@textfiles.com Dunno if you've already heard, but Redump has fully migrated to a new site due to neglect of its sole admin. Other sites and emulators already have or are in the process of changing links to the new site, I think Internet Archive should too!

A successor website to redump.org from the same staff team just launched, featuring better registration and metadata submission processes and HTTPS in 2026 among other things #redump redump.info
A screenshot of current redump.info main page. Official announcement text partially reads: 

"As many of you are aware, there have been longstanding issues with the redump.org site infrastructure. Basic features such as HTTPS have been missing and the project staff have been unable to address this due to the site being tightly controlled by an inactive administrator.

This has become increasingly untenable over the course of the past year, with major site outages and issues causing real concern that data could be permanently lost. Staff have made multiple attempts over several years to contact the redump.org admin to ask for these issues to be addressed, but all of these efforts have been either rebuffed or outright ignored. We believe that the work done here at Redump is very important for long-term preservation of data, which has necessitated this shift to ensure the project is successful for many years to come.

As a result, this year we decided to take the initiative and move to a new site, giving us a more solid and modern codebase to work from, and a more collaborative governance structure ensuring that major site decisions cannot be locked behind the availability of any single member of the team.

[...]

The Redump staff would like to thank all of you for your patience as we've worked through this process, and over the past few years in dealing with the difficulties presented by the old site. We ask for your continued patience as we get up and running, as it will take everyone some time to get fully up to speed. In particular, for the moment we ask that you keep a note of any feature requests you might have. We will soon be announcing an official process for submitting these, and we have many ideas of our own, but for now our focus is on making this transition as seamless as possible."

You ever had to quote the official Latvian voice-over of The Simpsons for Wiktionary? I just did!
A Wiktionary page for the Latvian word for "any" (jebkurš).
Usage notes: While normally this word would only use the indefinite declension, a definite declension for conveying "the any" is also possible though uncommon (see quotations).
Quotation: 1995, Baiba Gabrāne (translator), Simpsoni [The Simpsons], season 7, episode 7, Artūrs Skrastiņš (actor), SDI Media Latvia: "Lai sāktu darbu, nospiediet jebkuru taustiņu." Kur ir jebkurais taustiņš? Esk, katarl, pēgap. Man tāda jebkurā taustiņa nemaz nav. (literally, “"To start work, press any key". Where's the Any key? Esk, Catarl, P-Gup. I don't have the Any key at all.”)

I wanted Split/Second's FSB music to have comprehensible filenames, which lead to me accidentally reimplementing almost the entire FMOD Event (FEV) system in vgmstream, whoops. You're welcome.
Split/Second's FMOD Sound Bank song names as they appeared before the update on the left, all of which are identical, and after the update on the right, where they can be much more easily distinguished which track a certain song by having an incremental value in the full name.All of the FEV data now implemented and parsed in vgmstream.

In the 90s there was a Latvian-Russian kids TV show I grew up with titled В гостях у Тофика (Visiting Tofik), which only aired in Russian. In the 2000s it had DVD releases which also had exclusive Baltic voiceovers. So I've dumped and uploaded them to Archive. (Also just higher quality than YT)
