Hey, I ported Xiptech's mipsnommu version of uClinux-2.4.19 to the PSP. The only hardware support it has currently is the headphone jack's serial port (used by the console and tty implementation), but its a start!
Check it out here: http://df38.dot5hosting.com/~remember/chris/
It mounts a ramdisk as the root filesystem, the root disk image is linked in with the kernel. The disk image has a minimal userland including sh, ls, mkdir, echo, cat, basic stuff like that, built with uClibC. All the executables are statically-linked.
The only way to use it is with some sort of serial port hardware like discussed here: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=5234
Hopefully more people will help now and we can really turn this into something.
Could this be the start of a real attempt to get Linux on the PSP, well lets hope so

Why does this game look so ridiculously sexy? Maybe I'm a sucker for weird reddish-pink blonde hair. Maybe I'm a sucker for RPGs. Maybe I'm just tired of playing PS2 games and really want to feel what the "next-gen" is in regards to role-playing titles. Whatever the case, both of the PS3 Final Fantasy XIII titles are lookin' hot. Or hawt, depending on how nerdy we want to get. We can't really say what the article is telling us, since Babelfish has decided to shun us at the time of this writing. It doesn't matter, though. We'd much rather have those scans translated. Is it just us, or is Shiva transforming into a motorcycle in one of the scans? Transforming is awesome. Especially if you're Optimus Prime.
What's interesting, though, is that there's finally something that appears to be "cinematic" and we can therefore assume the other images we've seen thus far are at the very least "cutscene gameplay" -- that is, extra nice... er... normal graphics. We chose to throw the cinematic image up because, well, it looks damn near like a real person. But it isn't. Because no one looks like that. Unfortunately. Are we gushing too much? It's just exciting! Take a look yourselves and grin in silence.

Windows users, you’re not left out! Here is ZiNgABuRgA’s latest simple popstation GUI. This one does it all — customize/preview your EBOOT, PSX compression, docmaker, PAL->NTSC fix, and more… It’s likely you’ll never need another
v2.21 beta changes:
* EBOOT reconstructing is now implemented - meaning that you can now add larger images to already made EBOOTs
* Numerous bug fixes
* Transfer to PSP after conversion option
* Shows game region (useless IMO, but it does mean that my program has ALL the features of PSX2PSP now)
* Interface cleanup
* Now uses a “clean” BASE.PBP file
Moderator Note: This program contain's Sony copyright files, so the program has been removed

The 'True HD' concept is certainly off to a rocky start on Sony's console that could. Despite confirmation from SCEA senior VP of marketing Peter Dille that MotorStorm would rocket to the US at 60fps in glorious 1080p, Sony today rescinded that remark. MotorStorm, alas, will be presented in lowly 720p, chugging along at 30fps.
Seriously though, those numbers will keep MotorStorm competitive -- and in HD. We just couldn't miss out on an opportunity to muffle the True HD buzz.

The we-can't-wait-to-buy-it Heavenly Sword has gotten dated. The title will drop March 6th in the US according to Sony Computer Entertainment of America's website. No word on Japan yet. This red-headed "Goddess of War" game got generally favorable reviews (impressions?) at last year's E3. Can't wait.

Newsweek's N'Gai Croal pinged us with his take on how the iPhone will shake things up. He blogs:
The iPhone isn't a direct challenger to Sony's portable gaming ambitions--that would be the wildly popular Nintendo DS--but it most certainly is a threat to Sony's mobile media and communication ambitions. After all, the iPod has iTunes (with music, movies, TV and games); while the PSP has the Playstation Network (for PS2 games that can run on the PSP's emulator and...nothing else right now--more than two years after its launch.)
But what about the DS? Croal says:
The iPhone won't stop the DS from selling like ice on a hot summer day, but it could cause a lot of casual DS owners to put it in a sock drawer and forget about it. But for now, it looks like the only thing that's being shaken up is Apple as the company gets entangled in a legal dispute over trademark infringement. Portable gaming, for now you are safe!
For more about the Iphone check out our Apple News Site.

Here's a confirmed sighting of The Outsider, the mysterious Xbox 360 and PS3 action game from gaming legend David Braben, the creative mega-brain behind sci-fi classic Elite. And, although it's only a snatched glimpse of movie action, we reckon it gives away a few fact-morsels about The Outsider's unexplained gameplay. Hit the movies tab above to see the footage.
In light of this fresh footage evidence, we're willing to table a number of bets about the game. First, it'll boast a similar crowd feature to Assassin's Creed and Kane & Lynch; just look at framed main man Jameson sprinting through a throng of scattering tourists, as a (particularly useless) sniper attempts to take him down. Perfect, hectic, human-shield potential there.
Then there's Jameson's location, and his reasons for trekking back to the Whitehouse. We expect to see a suitably next-gen version of Hitman's disguise and body-hiding gameplay, with Jameson's insider knowledge (we predict he's a former black-ops agent who uncovered dirty secrets and was framed to keep him quiet) helping in any sneaking tasks.
Finally, the end of the movie sees Jameson shooting a pursuing enforcer in the arm, before aiming at another. This points towards a stress on a non-fatal attitude (he is trying to prove he's not a killer, remember?) in some situations, while promising acrobatic skills and an ability to hold-up enemies, as in Metal Gear Solid.
Go on, watch the video again. See what we mean? Expect fresh details on The Outsider to leak in the coming months, confirming - we're that confident - our enlightened predictions.

Take a good first look at Warner Brothers Interactive's new Roman era epic 300: March to Glory. The game is inspired by the upcoming movie 300, which is, in turn, based on Frank Miller's graphic novel. You'll be able to fight as one of the 300 Spartan soldiers lead by King Loenidas to take down Xerxes and his Persian army in a retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae.
These shots show that the featured weapons, sword, shield and spear, promise plenty of potential for the blood-thirsty gamer to hack, slash, dismember and decapitate his enemies. Look for some brutally intense fight scenes set against an ancient Greek back drop, when 300: March to Glory unsheathes sometime in March of this year.

Crazy Taxi's set to make a return this summer - with a PSP instalment mixing the content of the first two Dreamcast games and adding a few new features.
Called Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, it's being developed by Sniper Studios and offers plenty of single-player content to barge your way through on the PSP's slick wide screen.
Using both original Crazy Taxi maps (arcade and Dreamcast) and the Small Apple maps of Crazy Taxi 2, Fare Wars offers an Arcade mode, where you earn time bonuses by delivering fares quickly, and a Time Trial, where the idea is to collect the highest fares possible in the time allowed.
On top of that there are two mini-game modes, including Crazy Box's original 16 mini tasks and a Crazy Pyramid to unlock the CT2 offerings.
Multiplayer is catered for too, via an ad hoc option that has you racing others and trying to steal their passengers by bumping cars.
Finally, SEGA says you'll be able to save replays of your best moments onto Memory Stick so you can show them off to your mum. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I do - she still refuses to take interest in my best Pro Evo goals. Witch.

Blu-ray DVDs are to include a feature that will allow copies of films to be transferred to laptops or other devices.
It's an effort by Sony to gain wider acceptance of its new format and, more importantly, rival Microsoft's HD-DVD technology.
Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, head of Sony's home entertainment unit, David Bishop, indicated that we'll see this feature soon.
"It's not currently part of anything on our current release schedule, but we'll probably roll it out sometime this year."
Which sounds rather familiar. Take with a pinch of salt.
Blu-ray famously holds more than five-times as much data as a normal DVD, and Sony have already claimed that games are filling the impressive 25GB capacity. What exactly are they filling it with? We can only hazard a guess.

SCEA's senior director of corporate communications, Dave Karraker, has responded to sniping comments made by Microsoft earlier this week, where MS's Peter Moore and Chris Satchell called Sony's PS3 online service a "disaster", and said Sony doesn't have the "talent" to launch a service matching Xbox Live.
"I would argue that consumers worldwide, to the tune of over 200 million PlayStations, PS2s, PSPs and PS3s, have decided whether or not Sony has the DNA to deliver hardware, software and services to suit this industry," Karraker told Gamepro.com, making sure to note that Gran Turisom HD highlights "the potential of the PlayStation Network and the kind of ground breaking content we plan to offer".
Karraker also took issue with Microsoft's recent announcement that it has sold 10.4 million Xbox 360s, suggesting that MS's touted number is actually the number of consoles shipped, rather than those actually in the hands of gamers.
"Microsoft views 'sold' as what has been sold to retailers but could be sitting on pallets in warehouses or stacked on store shelves," he said.
"'Sold' to Sony has always meant what the consumer has actually purchased, I think many people have incorrectly viewed our competitor's 'sold' figure to believe it was actually sold to consumers, which it was not."

Gunpey, the puzzle-music game on PSP and DS, has been picked up by Atari which will publish the game in Europe in March.
The colourful puzzle game has players flip rising panels, lining up the markings within the panels to make them explode before they reach the top of the screen. Confused? Check out the DS and PSP screens below.
Both games feature wireless link-up for multiplayer gaming, and platform-exclusive content includes 40 interchangeable skins for the PSP version, while the DS version boasts extra special moves that temporarily disrupt your opponent's screen in versus games, and the option to create your own music.

Extended versions of The Godfather game previously released on Xbox, Xbox 360 and PS are on their way to the Wii and PS3, with extra content and enhanced controls.
The Godfather The Don's Edition is the name of the version coming to PS3 whilst the Wii game will be titled, The Godfather Blackhand Edition.
Both games will feature new missions, new ways to find dirty cops for your dodgy deals, and the added ability to follow the path of either an Enforcer or Operator, offering you different "perks and abilities".
The Don's Edition on PS3 will also have new Shipyard and Rail yard transportation hubs which will presumably increase mobility throughout the city, whilst the Blackhand Edition on Wii will have you swinging the Remote and Nunchuk to fight, and pointing the Remote like a gun to shoot your enemies.
The already-released Godfather game is a decent urban-gangster romp and, even though it's been out for a while already, with the new features added these versions, they could be well worth a look for Wii and PS3 owners this spring.
Both games are due in March in the US, and presumably shortly after in UK.

Having already undergone a revamp and sail onto PC and Xbox, Sid Meier's and Firaxis' classic high seas action-adventure title Pirates! is brandishing its cutlass on PSP.
In the game, you play a 17th century pirate attempting to amass as much booty and fame as humanly possible. Sea battles, sea exploration, land duelling and wireless multiplayer are all part of the pirate package. We're assuming it'll be pretty much a port of the Xbox and PC games.
Pirates! creator Sid Meier has said previously that Firaxis loves "the new possibilities from handheld systems like the PSP system. Pirates! for the PSP system allows players to shape the heroic life of a pirate while embracing the pirate's way of life - always on the go!"

Sony has responded to the 'mix-up' surrounding its announcement on the PS3 Sixaxis controller winning an Emmy earlier this week, stating that yes, it was the Dual Shock that won the award.
A minor furore erupted when Sony originally issued a statement saying the honour had been bestowed on Sixaxis, as it subsequently emerged that the statement was incorrect. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences confirmed it had awarded the Emmy to the Dual Shock.
It appears Sony was initially scratching heads about the nature of the award, too. Speaking to Next-Gen.biz before the company corrected its announcement about the Emmy, SCEA's PR chief Dave Karraker said, "I accepted the award myself and all they said was that the award was for 'technological innovation for device controller' ... but looking back, they never really did say for which one".
Karaker also said that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences had actually approved Sony's press announcement on Sixaxis' success prior to its release.

Submitted by www.psphome.com
Sony are conducting a survey about the original PSP. In the survey at the end they include a question asking:
“Would you buy another PSP system if it included a hard drive and/or video out?”
This survey was sent out via Email to Playstation Underground users.
The email said
“To some, the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system is a powerful multi-media machine wrapped in a gaming device. To others, it’s simply fun to play with. Either way, we want to know what you think. Help us harness your powerful gaming knowledge and take a simple survey. From the total responses, we’ll choose one PSP system owner who will get five PSP system games of his or her choice. One entry per person, please—nobody likes a survey hog.”
From what we can gather from the survey, Sony are looking to see if the PSP2 would succeed in the market. So what do you think? Would you buy a PSP with a HD and Video Output?
