Titolo: C'ho la PocketStation... e adesso?

Ciao a tutti...
Un mio amico e' appena tornato da quindici giorni di vacanza a Tokyo, e
sapendo che sono appassionato di PSX mi ha portato un regalino... una
PocketStation usata ma in ottime condizioni, pagata l'equivalente di
ventimila lire.
Carina, un bell'orologino, ma adesso mi piacerebbe anche poterla
usare... Qualcuno mi da' due dritte?
Ad esempio:
1) da qualche parte in rete ci sono mica le istruzioni in inglese o in
qualche lingua meno incasinata del jappo? Non tanto per mettere a posto
l'ora dell'orologino (fin li' ci sono arrivato) ma perche' possono
venire fuori icone strane che non ho ben capito...
2) Che giochi ci sono che la supportano? Intendo giochi nostrani o
comunque reperibili qui. La nostra versione di Final Fantasy VIII va
bene o hanno disabilitato il giochino? E Ridge Racer IV? Qualcos'altro?
3) Mi risulta che la sua porta infrarossi sia una vera e propria IrDA
standard e compatibile con quella dei PC portatili... non e' che si
possono scambiare dati di qualche tipo? Qualcuno ne sa niente?
4) Tutto il resto che sapete, please...
Grazie in anticipo!

7.3 Come scarico/cancello i giochi sulla PocketStation?
Ogni gioco per PSX che contiene giochi per PocketStation li
trasferisce a modo suo: collega la PocketStation ad uno slot per
memory card della PSX, carica il gioco e segui le istruzioni a video.
Una volta scaricato il gioco sulla PocketStation lo puoi gestire
esattamente come se fosse un salvataggio su una comune memory card,
dunque usa il memory manager della PSX per rimuoverlo.
E poi ancora, in english:
PocketStation Instructions.
===========================
Attached is a file containing instructions on how to setup and use the
Sony 
PocketStation as a clock/calendar/timer. This is not a translation of
the 
instructions, but what I found out by fooling with it. Hope you can
use it.
PocketStation
The PocketStation is a combination alarm clock, PlayStation memory
card, and
a portable game console.
Starting up
When you first pull the tab from the battery to activate the
PocketStation,
it says "hello" and then shows a beating heart. After that, it expects
you
to change the settings.
You don't turn the PocketStation off. It will turn itself off in 30
seconds
after the last button push. To turn it back on, just press the large
button.
=========================================================================
Screen #1 - Current date/time and alarm settings
The screen will look like this:
1999/01/     <- year/month
   00:01     <- hour:min  (current time)
@  00:00     <- Alarm on/off   hour:min of alarm time setting
Use the left and right buttons to move from field to field. The
selected
field will be flashing. Use the up/down buttons to change the field's
setting.
Current Date/Time
The order of field selection is Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min. Note
that the hours are input as 24 hour time (5PM = 12+5 = 17). When you
are
done setting the date and time, press the large button.
If you need to change the date/time, hold down the up button until the
date
shows with the year flashing.
Alarm Setting
Hold down the down button until the alarm on/off icon is flashing.
Pressing
upor down turns the alarm feature on or off. Using the left/right
buttons,
you can select the hour and minutes for the alarm. When done, hit the
large
button.
=========================================================================
Screen #2 - Time, Volume, Memory Blocks
When nothing is flashing screen, press the large button. This is how
you
get from screen #1 to screen #2 and back.
From screen #1, this takes you to the second screen. This screen shows
the
volume setting, current time, and how many memory blocks are in use.
Volume Settings
Pressing the up button adjusts the volume.
Viewing game icons
Hold down the down button until the memory card icon stops flashing.
You
are now viewing the icons for the saved games in the PocketStation.
Use the
up and down buttons to look at the other icons. They really don't look
very
good as they are meant to be displayed in color in a higher resoluton.
Use
the large button to get out of this mode.
=========================================================================
Using PocketStation as a PlayStation Memory Card
Flip open the keypad of the PocketStation. You can now use it like a
regular PlayStation memory card. You don't even need a battery in it
to
use it as a memory card.
=========================================================================
Games on the PocketStation
How the game operates depends on the game downloaded. See the game
instructions for details. Not all PlayStation's have PocketStation
game
support. The only game I have, so far, is Final Fantasy VIII from
Square

1.1 What is a Pocketstation?
==============================================================================
The Pocketstation is a small Playstation memory card with a screen and
five 
buttons on it.
1.2 How do you use it?
----------------------
It can be used to transfer data from video games onto it, and play it 
portably until you transfer your status back onto the actual game.
1.3 What does it run on?
------------------------
It runs on a CR2032 lithium (watch) battery.
1.4 Where can I buy it?
-----------------------
I've seen a handful of places. I got it from Buy-Rite
(
www.buyrite1.com
),
I've also seen that it is sold by Tronix (
www.tronixweb.com
) and Next
Gen
(
www.next-gen.co.uk
).
1.5 What games support it?
--------------------------
The first games that come to mind are Final Fantasy VIII, Metal Gear
Solid
Integral, and Street Fight Zero 3 (Only the Japanese version supports
it).
1.6 Will it ever come out in North America?
-------------------------------------------
At first, they were definitely going to bring it out over here, but as
time progressed, it has become less and less likely. What I'm hearing
now is that they are going to wait until the Playstation 2 comes out,
and release a better version of it, but the original Pocketstation
will
still be compatible with the Playstation 2.
========================================================================
2.1 Getting Started
========================================================================
To start up the Pocketstation, pull out the tab on the back of it.
You'll
then be able to fill out the time and date.
2.2 Exiting Games
-----------------
Once you load a game from the PSX onto the Pocketstation, hold the
large
button until it says Continue or Exit. Select exit, and it will show
the
title screen of the game. From there you can select between the game, 
and the time menu of the Pocketstation. If you wait a while from there
the Pocketstation will turn off automatically.
========================================================================
3.1 Troubleshooting
========================================================================
Can't get out of a Pocketstation game: See section 2.2
It won't turn back on after it automatically shut off: Replace the 
lithium battery
Can't get it to transfer the data back to the Playstation: It varies 
through different games, try to find a FAQ for that specific game.
