If you’ve ever lamented the lack of motion control on your PSP, Datel wants you to know that it feels your pain. The company must have experienced the same desire for motion controls, as it has developed a peripheral that gives PSP owners a whole new control option. The Tilt FX is a small, $19.99 device that plugs into your system and gives you 3D motion control.

Once you plug the Tilt FX in, you can then twist and turn your PSP to control the onscreen action, instead of messing around with the directional pad or analog stick. The peripheral doesn’t require any kind of special firmware to run, and is compatible with the PSP-1000, 2000 and 3000. Essentially, as long as it’s not a PSPgo, the Tilt FX will work with it…

Datel, manufacturer of the Max Memory card that is one of the “unauthorized” memory units Microsoft recently locked out of use with the Xbox 360 console, is taking the company to court.

Import games are a bit of a delicacy for gamers. They’re almost like a hidden treasure, something you might normally have the opportunity to play. So many people will take the plunge and purchase a game, even if they don’t have the language skills necessary to play it.

This is when the Action Replay DS (AR DS) can be useful. It certainly can come in handy when you need to purchase potions or weapons in an RPG or make decisions to unlock CG scenes in a game, but can’t tell what the items are. Adding a cheat code to unlock all the CG images, or provide infinite money or perhaps give infinite recovery items. Suddenly, the game became a bit more bearable.

So in Important Importables today, we’re going to see just how easy it is to find AR codes for your recent import DS purchase.

Nintendo has effectively secured the region-protected Wiis. The latest Wii firmware update 3.3, released June 16, 2008, has rendered Datel’s Freeloader discs useless. See, all Wiis are region-protected. They can only play games released in their region, forcing people who want to play import games to either buy a Wii from that other region (too expensive), mod their systems (void the warranty) or buy the Datel Freeloader program (just right).

The Wii Freeloader was a special disc created by Datel which allowed Wiis to play Wii and Gamecube games from different regions without modding the system. People simply load the Freeloader disc, then remove it and insert a game from a different region to play. It costed only $19.99 – a much better deal than a whole extra system.
