Phantasy Star Portable downloadable demo

Andrew Yoon — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:45:00 EST

Yes! You must play this massive 300MB Japanese demo of Phantasy Star Portable. What are you waiting for?! Remember: the O button confirms in this demo. There will be quite a bit of Japanese text, so some knowledge of the language will help greatly. The demo contains character creation, CG cutscenes and is fully voiced. We can only hope that Sega announces an English language version of this game soon.

1. Download the demo zip file.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file.
3. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable.
4. Go to the PSP/GAME folder.
5. Copy ULJM91014 folder into the GAME directory. Make sure there are no sub-directories in this folder.

Mawaskes downloadable demo

Andrew Yoon — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 13:00:00 EST

Filed under: Demos

It's been a long time, hasn't it? A new Japanese demo has arrived today: Mawaskes, a puzzle game that's now available in Asia. We have to admit, we're not quite sure how to play the game. PSMan62 on the PlayStation Forums describes it like this: "[It] reminds me of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine back on Sega Genesis. It seems that you basically have to rotate the blocks to form a shape or connect it to the sides and they disappear. The more you make, the more solid blocks appear on the other side."

That didn't really help us -- hopefully you'll do a better job with the game than we did. The demo requires firmware 3.51 or above.

1. Download the demo zip file.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file.
3. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable.
4. Go to the PSP/GAME folder.
5. Copy ULJS00105 folder into the GAME directory. Make sure there are no sub-directories in this folder.

No, you're not seeing things. It's a new demo for SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2. However, it's nowhere as good or as thorough as the first demo we provided. This new demo lacks the awesome interface, tips, and voice acting as the original. At least it's free?

1. Download the demo zip file.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file.
3. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable.
4. Go to the PSP/GAME folder.
5. Copy UCED90042 folder into the GAME directory.
