I’ve been spending most of the week so far working on several new versions of the ‘My Go Card’ app for the iPhone. I’ve been learning a lot, and I’ve written a whole lot of new stuff, it’s really educational and entertaining to me. I’ll post some pictures once I’m done with a few more features!
Alternatively, a very simple information page for the ‘My Go Card’ and ‘My GoVia’ apps can be found respectively at the following links:

I have, after some time and money, got my iPhone Developer Program enrollment accepted, and have submitted my first app to the Australian Appstore.
The app allows you to check your current card balance along with the last access date which can be a handy tool when you’re constantly on the move. It’s $1.19, which hopefully doesn’t put people off, and it’s a fairly good alternative to having to use a computer to check your balance.

It’s quite a strange moment when you realize the CPU emulates better in DirectX11 Software mode than in DirectX10 hardware mode with the graphics card. It seems unlikely to happen, but maybe it’s only occurring in PS2 games. You’d have to use the program to understand what I’m talking about but ah well, what else is there to post? The game in question was Gran Turismo 4, since I can’t exactly play PS2 games on my PS3. I might soon though, with a bit of luck.
Other than the rebranded GT210 that was released as a GT310, finally some actual details have showed up.
Hmm 3 billion transistors.
I’m trying to post roughly once a day now, but I figured that would get boring fast and there wouldn’t be any point in reading this blog. I’ll keep it to a minimum of once a week or so, but a few times a week can’t hurt.
Anyway, I’m quite a big fan of the Gran Turismo franchise, and it’s not much fun waiting for Gran Turismo 5 when you hear it ain’t coming out until March 2010. However, apparentely the demo is soon to be released, on the 17th. It’s something I definitely wanna check out. gtplanet.com is a good source for it, though I doubt I’ll have many fans with the same interests.
I’ve made my lockscreen a little more exciting, I still don’t know if it’s ideal but I might leave it like this for a while, it looks more professional.
Yeah, I decided to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS. The first thing I installed on it was a PS1 emulator, titled psx4iphone. The next thing I did was put one of my favourite games on it from the PS1, Gran Turismo 2 (I never played the first one, eek!)
It runs at roughly 10fps unfortunately, but it’s really fun nonetheless. I also ran Crash Bandicoot 3, though I have not taken any pictures of it.
I also purchased Simcity 3000, which very accurately portrays the old PC version released a few years ago. It’s really fun to play!
