compress prx’s and PBP’s in the ~PSP format.

- The folder of 4.01 and highre homebrew will be GAME4XX so it won’t need change on update.

Taanslating the recovery.
To translate the recovery create a text file in ms0:/seplugins/xx_recovery.txt
or flash1:/xx_recoery.txt (they are evaluated in that order), where xx is the language code
of your language:

es -> spanish
en -> english
fr -> french
de -> german
it -> italian
ja -> japanese
ko -> korean
nl -> netherlands
pt -> portuguese
ru -> russian
ch1 -> chinese simplified
ch2 -> chinese traditional

The file en_recovery.txt in translate folder is included for people to translate to their languages, this file is not needed for english people, as the english language is used when no language file is found.
Just change the english strings to your language ones, and put it in the path mentioned above. Be careful to check in the recovery that the lines look fine, don’t use too large text.

The spanish file es_recovery.txt will be written by the program in the memory stick.

Indie Film: Rome and Juliet

Posted on June 29, 2008, under Movie.

Synopsis

ROME AND JULIET follows the romantic journey and soul mating of two straight women caught in a web of forbidden love.

Juliet (a conservative pre-school teacher) is a bride to be who befriends and hires Rome (a liberated businesswoman) as her wedding planner. As they go through the preparations, Rome and Juliet develop a deep friendship, a soulful connection and a love that is physically consummated. But conflicts arise when Marc, the groom who is a young politician, shockingly discovers the ongoing relationship between the two women.

Angered and humiliated, Marc calls off the wedding and a huge scandal explodes, leaving Rome and Juliet in a state of emotional turmoil. Not long after, Juliet is driven away from home by her mother, gets fired from work and later becomes a victim of a road mishap that puts her in a coma. But in the end, despite all the trials and hurdles Rome and Juliet’s unconventional love for each other remains strong and intense.

I watched this film while I’m at work (to keep me awake). I really like its story. Acting performances of the lead characters Mylene Dizon and Andrea Del Rosario were also great. Seeing this movie will give you an overview on how our society dealt with the lesbian relationship and it convincingly relayed its message about gender equality and how the third sex community experienced hardships, discriminations.

Thanks to Mirko for the image and the download links of this film
