ahrimanes posted this news/release:
if you know 3dmax, or ascii 3d files (ASE) you you must try this tool i just made, its a tool to port 3dmax models to lua trought ASE format. all you have to do is to expot your max to ase then use my tool and you will have the triangle array to use in gu.
Download Ahrimanes ASE2LUA v0.1
it includes:
some ase models
1 max model to test 3dmx to ase then lua
ase2lua v0.1 by ahrimanes (me)
tutorial folder
and eboot folder(this is a test of the ship.max) basically luaplayer testhing ase2lua output.
well still left to port the u,v for maping, by now no textures suported, but you can start testing complexmodels on you programs. hope you like... stay tuned to futher releases.....
pleaaaseee leave your comentesss.
edit: haaaa almost forgot, this runs under windows and you must have installed ms excel.
// new release
hi thereee i was working hard to make this,, the new release of my ase tolua v0.2 now suporting uv maping coordinates. and some error fixed still left to fix som errors on the model but its almost done... ase2luav0.2 hope you like it... the file include a space ship model textured on 3dmax, and the same in ase, includes the ase2lua v1.0 too...
the error i have, is somthing whit the polys draws.. some of them seems to bee always on top when they must be in botthom. "this tooll was made in visual basic 6.0 no thing to do whit lua, it just convert the 3d model to the lua format so you can use the array in your lua code."... by the way till now just 1 madel is suported, i mean no multiple models in asingle scene can be transformed, this is easy to fix and i think i will do it for the next release, what i must really fix is that error i menthioned back there.. this is just a intent to do somthing for the comunity to help developers to work whit lua,,,, else is soo har to draw a complex model vertex by vertex, and face by face no offences to friend tactical penguin his tool is powerfull. but cince i know most of people model in advanced 3d porgrams.. like 3dmax or modo, or others,... the point is if your 3d program can make ascii *.ASE. this tool will convert it to lua array.... well thanks.

CrazyC has released a new version of Dosbox for the PSP, heres the release details:
New patch and binary. Fixed the audio somewhat and switched to the scummvm ym3182 emulator. Also, made the x87 use single floats instead of double, this will probably cause problems with some apps, but should be a lot faster with programs that use the fpu frequently. The 16 color vga modes now use 4bpp textures, not much of a speed improvement here though because converting the data from planer to packed is cpu intensive; if any has any ideas how to speed this up, right now it uses a lookup table , I'd like to hear them.
Now heres where it gets complicated you need dosbox 0.60 files and somehow join it all together.
yep so compilcated isnt the word 
If any Dosbox experts can assemble this into an image of sorts then please feel free. It would be awesome to see how much better this version is over releases from the last year.

Our very own PeterM has posted on his blog that he is continueing his port of Quake to the PSP, he mentions a ton of stuff but heres a post that will interest many:
It’s been a heck of a long time since Chris Swindle and I did a Quake release, but hopefully there are still some people out there enjoying it.
I managed to find a few hours this week to work on hardware rendering for Quake. It’s a long time overdue!
When deciding how to go about writing the hardware rendering layer, two potential approaches immediately sprang to mind:
Hack the software renderer, adding hardware replacements until it’s done (or fast enough).
Rip the OpenGL calls out from GLQuake and replace them with PSP GU calls.
In a perfect world, both paths would arrive at the same destination. Both approaches would work pretty well, but after some deliberation I decided on the second approach. GLQuake has covered much of the groundwork already, so I should probably capitalise on that.
A worthwhile diversion
The initial worry was that I would hack away at the GLQuake code, commenting out OpenGL calls and/or replacing functions with stub (no-op) versions, compile my code, run it, then immediately hit a null pointer exception and crash. And of course, that’s almost exactly what happened. The game started, got part of the way into initialisation, and the PSP powered off. (This is what happens if you don’t handle a hardware exception.)
Now, debugging on the PSP is a bastard. Especially if, like me, you’re not a Linux type of guy and wouldn’t touch GDB with a 10 foot barge pole. Maybe official developers get a great debugger, I have no idea. I’m using the homebrew SDK here.
I then had an epiphany. Visual Studio’s debugger kicks ass. A running screaming arms-waving leg swinging punt right up the sphincter. Getting this crash to happen in Windows would make it a damn sight easier to fix, so I set about making it so.
Inspired by some “work” work I’ve been doing recently, I whipped up some minimal stub versions of the PSP SDK headers I was using, and created a Win32 build of the project. Obviously the functions, like most, do nothing visible to the calling code. They do however allow the calling code to compile, link and run.
With no actual graphical output, but with the Quake engine and most of my port code humming away in the background, I built and ran the Win32 version. And like all good bugs, this one appeared promptly, making the whole Win32 build effort worthwhile. Incidentally, it was one of the worst kind of bugs - the subtle typo that many a coder has spent dreary late nights hunting for. After deleting a single misplaced “!” character, the bug was no more.
So back to the task at hand
After the game successfully ran on Windows and PSP, with a whole lot of GLQuake running but without any PSP rendering going on, I went back to what I was supposed to be doing. I added some GU initialisation and buffer swapping code, just to get something up and running.
I slowly adding drawing code, until I had enough to draw flat shaded polygons with “random” (so that’s what a pointer looks like when reinterpret_casted to ABGR) colours. I also went about replacing the OpenGL matrix operations with GU and GUM equivalents. And it worked! What a stroke of luck, but damn was it pug fugly:
And that was the end of another development day. Thanks for reading, there’ll be more in my next post.

Man, when the first images of MotorStorm appeared, I was so excited! Then the next year, the footage didn't look as a amazing. It looked okay. Still, my interested remained. And when the game finally arrived in Japan, where I live, it lacked online. Poof! My interest was gone. Says the game's lead designer Nigel Kershaw:
Well, the European and American versions have online. The Japanese version does not, they weren't as bothered about online. We also tweaked a lot of things under the hood. Nothing you'd probably notice — we played around with some of the numbers and some of the graphics — but the main thing we did was add online play. Sure, I can't speak for Japanese people, but I know that no online convinced of one thing: Not buying MotorStorm. Bet I wasn't alone, either.

When a group of Take-Two investors last month announced its plans to install its own board of directors at the publisher's annual shareholders meeting, two executives were singled out by name. The group wanted to oust CEO Paul Eibeler, and it wanted to review the continued employment of CFO Karl Winters.
The investor group had its way at the shareholder's meeting, and Eibeler's departure from the company was announced that same day. Now Winters' departure has been confirmed, as Take-Two today announced his resignation, effective immediately. Winters will be replaced on an interim basis by the company's current senior vice president of finance, Lainie Goldstein. As it did with Eibeler, Take-Two said it is working with Winters "to ensure an orderly and effective transition."

Sony's Phil Harrison has denied that PlayStation Home and Second Life are basically the same thing, claiming it's "way oversimplifying" to make the suggestion.
"In Home, you get a character and a 3D world, and that's where the similarity ends," he told semi-official Sony blog ThreeSpeech. "Second Life does some brilliant things but with Home, we're providing a service. Therefore, the tone of voice is what will differentiate it - Home is about entertainment, it has a game focus, and it's about sharing with a like-minded community."
Observers have been drawing the comparison ever since Harrison unveiled Home - an online universe where PS3 users can set up a home and interact with friends and services - at the Game Developers Conference last month.
"We don't give users the level of influence over the environment, behaviour and object definitions that Second Life does - it's as secure as any other PS3 game," Harrison continued. "With some of the operating system protocols that are built into the Cell chip, it's about as secure as you can be on a consumer device."
That's not to say you won't be able to customise your surroundings though, as Harrison explained: "We were discussing how, if you had a great view from the back of your apartment - the perfect sunset across a lake, say - you could get all your friends around, and buy a premium item - a perfect V of ducks flying in front of the sun. So while your view would be the same as your friends', you could customise it in some unique and charming ways."
PlayStation Home will launch in October.

Sony's hypnotic PS3 duck game Super Rub A Dub - based on the famous tech demo demonstrated by studio boss Phil Harrison - is now Live on the European PlayStation store.
For the moment you can pick up the SixAxis-happy title for an introductory price (or is that introDUCKtory price?!) of £3.49 before it's bumped up on May 23.
In case you've missed it so far, Rub A Dub is a bit like Wetrix meets Super Moneky Ball (with ducks), where you're tasked with guiding a big plastic bird around a pool of water collecting mini-ducks and avoiding nasty sharks. It's duck-orific. Or something.
If you're still a bit hesitant to jump right in to the duck-y action there's a one-level demo available for you to try out..

NoxOm seems to have found a little bug in the PS3's system. Let's hope one of these little easter eggs will amount to something sometime soon. Here's what he said:
Otheros.bld v0.1
I found a TILT on a PS3 with this OS, I made a mix with a SAK v1.0 an .BIN image. The PS3 it just start over and over with an ORANGE light and I think this one of the ways to get on the DEV MODE of PS3
People from a website to remain nameless have confirmed it working on 1.32, 1.51, and 1.6. I think I am going to try it out sometime tomorrow. Please report your findings if you give it a shot.
as with any "exploit" extreme caution must be used

IBM and the Mayo Clinic have announced that they will be using the Cell Broadband Engine, the same processor that can help cure Alzheimer's and blast away the Germans in Call of Duty to now speed up object recognition and increase image precision with medical imaging software. The results of this implementation will be presented later this week at the International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (sounds like a party-fest) in Washington, D.C.
For an example of what this means: Previously it took the old processor configuration 25,200 seconds to complete a object recognition task of 98 images and on the Cell processor it only took 516 seconds to complete the same recognition task. Efficiency is key with this upgrade. Faster recognition by all kinds of imaging machines (CT scanners, MRI machines, etc) means saved lives. Easy as that.
