UMDrip V4 for Sony PSP (Phat and Slim models)

Posted By: Art

UMDrip V4

Hi Guys,
This is the UMDrip V4 release thread.





UMDrip has existed for since October 2006, but never released to the public until now.
It is not the fastest, or most feature rich UMD ripper, but it was for a very long time.
It is only being released for this reason. I never planned to update it, and still don't
consider an application of this nature worthy of much time or development.


If you have a spare 32Mb Memory Stick that you no longer need, please consider donating it
and see your nickname on a greetings screen in my future PSP applications.
I would prefer this not front page news.

Sega Wants Some Of That Monster Hunter Money For Phantasy Star Portable

Posted By: JKKDARK

via Kotaku

When Sega announced Phantasy Star Portable for PSP, it seemed like a good fit. The PSP is doing extremely well for itself in Japan currently, and with Phantasy Star Online servers shutting down left and right, a move to a hot platform certainly can't hurt. With Monster Hunter Portable G 2nd for the PSP moving some 2 million copies in Japan, more group beast slaying and item finding over a wireless connection will almost certainly be welcomed by the Japanese gamer.

Unsurprisingly, when seeing the newly revealed artwork for Phantasy Star Portable, I was immediately reminded of Capcom's Monster Hunter; surely not an accident on Sega's part. Gone are the soft illustrations of the pointy-eared character cast from Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Universe, replaced by big action, big dragons and big weapons. The logo? Similarly Monster Hunter-ish in its grittiness.

Probably a step in the right direction for Sega, but we wonder how many Monster Hunter devotees will judge Phantasy Star Portable a worthy purchase by its cover.

[PSP] Beats Off v0.1 - Adding custom loops to Beats' Jamming mode

Posted By: jacksonbrown

After just over two weeks of work, I've created a simple app for creating custom Jam sessions for the PSN game Beats. The program allows a user to collect and organize loops for output to a file usable in Beats' Jamming mode. This has the potential to be a fun live performance tool for DJs.

Console wars

Posted By: masterchief929

via: http://gamer.blorge.com/2008/05/12/m...m-ps3-and-wii/



The console wars are progressing very well for the Nintendo Wii. They are doing OK for the PS3 now as things are picking up. But how are things doing for the Xbox 360? Wouldn't you think that because it had a release that was a year before the PS3 and Wii it would be leading? Well, guess what Xbox 360 fanboys, the 360 is not leading.

It is currently in second place with PS3 approaching rapidly from behind. The PS3 sold more in the first year of it's release than the 360 did. I find this surprising when i think about the great games the 360 has had, like Halo 3 and Gears of War.

According to the article, this may be linked to the exclusive games for each platform going he way of the dinosaur. There have been many game developers lately who have seen how CoD4 and GTA4 did with a multi-platform release. Perhaps they saw the millions of dollars more attractive than a contract with a console developer, who knows? (for those who don't get the sense in that, it's called sarcasm. )

One thing is for sure, Nintendo played it smart with the Nintendo Wii.
The Wii has sold 25 million consoles
The 360 has sold 18 million
and the PS3 is making a comeback with 12 million sold.

Ikuze! Gen-San: Yuuyake Daiku Monogatari demo available now!

Posted By: flaminfox

via psphyper



Here’s a short demo of Ikuze! Gen-San: Yuuyake Daiku Monogatari (my poor translation says it’s like Go! Gen-san: A Carpenter’s Story) I downloaded from the PSP Japan site. It’s Irem’s side-scrolling action game featuring a kind hearted carpenter dying to help people and kick out an evil construction company, with the help of a girl friend who happens to be the daughter of another construction company.

The demo lets you play a portion of a street with four level of difficulties (beginner to legendary). The control is very simple, triangle for swing, square for knocking from top and X for jumping. Also, pressing X followed by pressing the down and triangle button together will unleash a cool special attack. Break the crate on top of the blue vehicle (see image above) for a helmet that will keep you safe from one hit. Once you’ve beaten the monster crane, don’t forget to jump on top of it and be the evil constructor for a few seconds Note: Save the unzipped folder into the “GAME” folder of your memory stick. The demo require Firmware 3.95.

The demo is too short for me but it’s surprisingly fun (Play-Asia.com has it for $48.90). The game is coming out in Japan on May 15th.

Cypher-Me irshell plugin v0.2

Posted By: wraggster

News/release from maxthebest

Hi guys!
Just released my irshell plugins that allows you to encrypt/decrypt your sensible files directly form IRSHELL's file browser.

Here are the changelogs of cypher-me since version 0.1b:

-Now, if there is not enough room on the memory stick, it will display a message telling you you can't encrypt the file (it used to crash if file was too big)
-Now it displays "encrypting" when encrypting, and "decrypting" when decrypting, it used to display encrypting, even when you were decrypting.
-Added a way to know if file is encrypted or not (see above)
-Added a menu


How to install this?

-Configure the plugin through the irshell configurator, put Encrypt as name and 19 for the adress.
-Now when you want to encrypt a file just press start highlighting it and press the Encrypt button!


As usual, if anyone has a question, no matter if it is stupid or not, don't hesitate, send a pm or an email.
And don't forget to read the readme file

Powder v1.05 - Rogue Clone for PSP/GBA/NDS

Posted By: wraggster

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS/GBA and also the PSP, heres whats new:

My time in Japan prevented me from making a release (I had turned off two of the machines I need to build on), but it didn't prevent me from working on POWDER. There are lots of various changes including new items and skills. There is also a new 32x32 tileset that you can find in the artpack thanks to Ibson the Grey.


[All but GBA]: When you load a game, the fact you have loaded it is immediately saved. This means you can no longer power down before you die to avoid save scumming. (Eilu, Zach Firth)
Familiars always leave corpses to facillitate their resurrection.
Petrified creatures count to your kill total
You are only punished for the death of a familiar when the death becomes irrevocable.
The party guilty for creating traps, lava, etc, is now tracked so proper responsibility can be assigned. (Andrew Poandl)
Dodge Skill's "foes" properly 'ified. (David Damerell)
Extra flavour text from Eilu.
Ricochet skill for arrows. (Furrot)
You can climb trees. (Adam Boyd)
When a bitmap has to many colours, it now fails more gracefully. (Ibson the Grey)
An embarassing mistake in combat calcs has been fixed. It is now the attacker's skill, not the defender's, used to roll attack bonus. This will mean weapon skills are more necessary and make monsters more threatening since they always default to 2 stars.
Jumping out of a pit only moves you one square. (Irashtar)
Incorrect there in helm of draining description (Mark Rushakoff)
Adjusted some monster sizes to better reflect how I envision them. Hopefully this doesn't affect food nutrition balance too much. (David Damerell)
When you die your options are saved even if you don't make the high score table. (Zappa Penguin)
Knock no longer closes the door if an item or creature blocks it.
Knock cast on doors with creatures on them will knock them back and damage them slightly. (Lim-Dul)
Light radius for creatures on fire increased to 2 from 1 to make it a bit less subtle. (R. Dan Henry)
[Start] and [Select] can be used to enter and shift respectively on the on-screen keyboard. (Zappa Penguin)
You can eat water elementals, but be warned there might still be some life in them. (Eilu)
Polying into or polying back into gargantuan forms will crush any walls that would entrap you. (Korgoth)
Flaming swords slightly nerfed to 1d3 fire damage to prevent them from being such an obvious weapon choice.
New item: lightning rapier. (Terje)
New item: ice mace.
Imps summoned by demons that you summon will no longer attack you provided the demon stil lives.
Monsters should now open doors if they are smart enough. (Derek Ray)
New monster: Kobold Thief.
You can now wish to learn a skill directly rather than having to acquire the specific book.
"wizard's hands" in chilling touch description, "an uber-storm" for a living frost, along with an extra hyphen in that description. Description of Pax clarified to resolve amiguous sentence and disarm skill description has an s returned to it. Finally, another lost s added to the flesh golem description. (R. Dan Henry)
"You gain insight into the nature of foo." now has a full stop. (David Damerell)
Ibson the Grey has produced a new 32x32 tileset based on the rltiles to give you some high resolution POWDER experience. Since this isn't the 16x16 res, it doesn't come packaged with POWDER but has to be installed manually from the artpack.

Gameboy Advance [502k].
Nintendo DS [926k].
Playstation Portable SDL [832k].
