Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s UK MD, Ray Maguire, claims that the heavily criticised UMD format has a future, despite a number of film studios opting out of producing movies on the format and numerous retailers scaling down their UMD* offerings.
What is the heavy criticism to which we allude? Unacceptably high cost and the fact that it’s become increasingly harder to actually find them in-store of late, will do for two.
Speaking to trade magazine, MCV, Maguire told explained, “We’re pretty pleased with UMD… UMD has a fantastic attachment ratio. Where we’ve struggled a little is getting a decent proposition for full-length movies.”
He continued, “UMD is not the problem – it’s getting the right content that’s the challenge. When we put shorts on UMD they sell really well, and that’s related to PSP usage. It’s about getting the offer right, and we will do that.”
Let us know your own thoughts in the forums. Do you think the format has a future? Do you still buy UMDs? And if so which ones?

NERF is one of those brands that's synonymous with childhood, adolescent, and even grown up fun. When we were little, the foam was just soft enough to convince our parents we could be trusted to wield it in weapon form, yet as we well know, solid enough to inflict real pain on small friends once out in the yard. The IGN offices are a historic NERF battlefield, and some of our LARPing (Live Action Rollplaying) brethren couldn't take to the field without it.
Sadly, a lot of these NERF pursuits involve some very un-videogaming aspects, like being outside, so when we received word that Pelican Performance had partnered with NERF with plans for a line of foam-plated controllers we got pretty stoked. Today we got the chance for an exclusive first hands-on with the first of the Pelican-NERF line, the wireless NERF pad for the PlayStation 2.
In general size and curves, the controller is relatively similar to a Xbox 360 pad. That's about as far as the similarities go, however, as the entire controller, save for the analog sticks and buttons, is encased in a shell of injection-molded NERF foam. Pelican didn't wimp out on the design with just some foam handle-prongs and a hard plastic face, when we say the entire thing is encased in foam, we mean it.
The handle-prongs are the softest, but seem to have some flexible tabs buried inside to provide a bit of rigidity. The rest of the controller body has a thinner layer, which is enough to feel NERF but not too think or spongy enough to interfere with button presses. As a matter of fact, the controller feels great in hand, and in showing it off around the office, practically every gamer here commented that it felt much better to hold than the usual hard-plastic pads.
Since it's NERF we also couldn't stop ourselves from giving it the good old drop test, which progressed to a drop-kick and some light abuse. The controller seems to be able to take a solid fall if it lands on the handle prongs or its side, but Pelican isn't claiming absolute indestructibility and we can image you could damage it if you really nailed one of the analog sticks into a wall.
We'll explore the controller's toughness over the weekend and return with the full review on Monday in which we'll delve into the button response and feel, wireless performance, and more. Until then, take a peek at these exclusive first-reveal pics and enjoy.

I have become aware that Super Mini Mario and its various mods are difficult to run on the custom 2.71 firmware from DAX. So, here's a fairly simple way to run most of them from what I can discern:
Some SMM mods are built for 1.0 and some are built for 1.5. While you can use SeiPSPTool to convert between the two, it doesn't help you much here. Here's what to do:
If your SMM or SMM Mod was built for 1.0 natively (not converted from a 1.5 eboot) then: Simply place it in the GAME folder instead of GAME150. Works great! Examples: SMM (original, non-1.5 version), Chocobo Complete, Super Mini Sonic/etc.
If your SMM or SMM Mod was built for 1.5 natively (i.e. the 1.5 version of SMM, or Super Mini Halo - SMH - which was built for 1.5): This is a bit trickier. You have to split up the contents of the SMH folder (for example) so that GAME/SMH contains all the DATA files that are NOT the eboot.pbp. So EVERYTHING that is NOT eboot.pbp goes in GAME/SMH. GAME150/SMH will contain the eboot from the SMH folder, and GAME150/SMH% is the SMH% folder without any other modification.
So this is the structure:
PSP
|__Game
|__|__SMH
|______|__(data files here such as sound, graphics, levels)
|__Game150
|__|__SMH
|______|__eboot.pbp
|__|__SMH%
|______|__eboot.pbp

True to his word, NJ has released the source code for his three arcade emulators: CPS1PSP, CPS2PSP, and NGEPSP. With the release of these sources, he also released the final version of CPS1PSP which includes a minor bugfix for a single game:
Fixed state save/load in Pang!3 Additionally, he has addressed speculations about what project he'll tackle next:
With this, things have settled down for me. I don't think there will be anymore updates for the forseeable future.
As for what I'll make next, maybe I'll port something else... However, it's more likely that I'll just end it with this.
There aren't any (that I'm interested in) from overseas makers, SEGA, or CAPCOM.
Source could be reused for SEGA, however, sadly, I have absolutely no interest in them, including their home consoles. Additionally, I started working on CPS1PSP without knowing about the impending release of Capcom Collection. It looks like there might not be any need to make anything else. Just my two cents, but since there still aren't any solid PCE-S/CD emulators for the PSP, and seeing as how NJ was able to nail NG-CD emulation, that's one project that I'd personally love to see him tackle.

Super Mini Halo is a project that I started a while ago. I havent had time to finish it so I am going to post a beta and let the people here go wild. =P
First things first - Specs
Folder named SMH (so you can play with SMM and SMS)
1 Real level, 24 from the SMM v3 download
Halo characters (Master Chief and Grunts...i got alot of colors for each)
Custom background
Somewhat custom sounds
O ya - Works on 1.5 and 2.71 (Just leave the files as they are. The game will not load if you try and hide the corrupt)
Credits:
SMM - Without them none of this would be possable
Banditmax.com for paying the bills
And Bob151jr (me, jpdeathblade) for making some graphics and a lvl and posting....im on a mac! its 10x harder to make this...w/e
The file is attached below...go crazy =P

We weren't planning on releasing a second beta so soon, but the mail duplication issue that was brought to our attention by noobody is annoying enough to justify releasing a Beta2.
We took the opportunity to fix a couple other problems, here's the complete list:
- Fix the uids file not being written (mail duplication issue)
- Get rid of the "Bentest" icon on the main window
- Fix the hang when the app was exited through the home button during an assert comment. Although whenever such a message is encountered, it's best to hit triangle to get out of it.
- Fix the crash on startup caused by an empty "reply to" field (any empty fields should no longer cause a crash now)
- Fix an issue where the context menu wasn't being brought up in the address dialog
Thanks to all users who tried PSPoste Beta1 and left us with comments and feedback, we plan on spending most of our short term efforts integrating better input methods (Danzeff and more generic IrDa driver) as well as SSL/TLS, but these features may take time.

I am uploading and posting this on behalf of TCLCloud and this is the second release of his psp portal psp117, so lets here what he has to say about it -
This version includes over 35 games, 4 apps, 5 cartoons, 20 wallpapers, 2 wallpaper packs, 7 RSS channels and lots more in the links page! This is version 0.95, which means it pretty much complete, however seeing as its so close to completion i doubt i'll make version 1, but rather go on to do version 1.xx and so on. I am very pleased with this so far, the basic portal engine is now complete, it'll be much easier to add both new pages and content in the future, and hopefully that wont be too long. In upcoming releases I am hoping to include direct download links to demos, video downloads and expand the existing pages.
Enjoy!

When this happens the screen rotates in full 3D.

Completely unique game system: Trapped inside two 3D towers of terror, they rotate as Bub and Bob move from section to section
One floor, three environments: Each floor of the tower has three sections. Move a frozen key from winter to summer to defrost it
Play as Bub and Bob: One tower affects the other so cooperation between Bub and Bob is necessary. Switch between the two characters whenever you need
Puzzle action:. Change the temperature, air pressure, gravity and air flow to solve the puzzles and progress upwards
Game play surprises: Flip the screen upside down or turn the lights off
Gigantic 3D boss characters: Boss characters the height of the screen literally dwarfing Bub and Bob
Charming graphics: All new re-designed Bub & Bob, and all the old enemies all now in 3D and in a new charming style

Another new game released in the UK and now its Myst, heres the details:
Over a decade since PC adventurers first sampled the delights of Myst's emotive and visual feasts, the new PSP version will engage the player like never before and literally take them to another world. There are no instructions and the player begins a voyage of exploration without encountering a single living soul.
Alone on a mysterious island, you set out to explore its grandeur and mystery. Here a chilling tale of intrigue and injustice, defying all boundaries of space and time, is being told. Quickly, though, it becomes clear every action can somehow help unfortunate individuals trapped somewhere in a parallel dimension. The Myst adventure is like no other, tantalizing with its unique combination of lavish environments, puzzles, mazes, and a sizzling underlying drama which steadily unfolds to reward the player further still.

Hey all still no release and still dont know when one is due, but heres the latest news from the coder who wishes to be anonymous:
Some noticeable progress on speed  But I still didn't get the dynarec to work. Anyway, some games are running real fast now like the FF series.
I myself tried Star Wars Masters of Tera Kasi today and whilst the game was very slow, infact the slowest game ive tried so far, it did play and look perfect, bear in mind the build i have is a few weeks old now.

Yongobongo has released a new paint app in Lua for the PSP, heres the details:
"yPaint v2"
Before I explain the app, I'd like to thank Fuzzie 360 for so much help and inspiration. Thanks man! And also thanks to Shine for his LUAPlayer app (which made this app possible).
So, what is it?
Well, it's basically a Image creation application for your PSP. I've taken on the graphics of my fave graphic PC program, Macromedia Fireworks.
So what?
So what??? This application is an "all in one" image editor. It comes with a full colour selection tool, Line Lengths, a GUI (needs to be improved) Saving your Image (In the next release, you will be able to save multiple files ) and opening your image again for editing!
Can I use it?
If you have Firmware 1.50-2.71, then yes I have only made K-Xploited EBOOTs since the majority of homebrew users (including me and Fuzzie) have this firmware. A 1.00/eLoader EBOOT should be up soon
LUALogix???
Fuzzie and I are setting up a website dedicated to LUA coding...More on this later!
I hope y'all like it
Also, this is v2 (0.2) of the app, so bugs may be there (I haven't found any) and I am going to add some more features to it, such as battery life display and hopefully I can make it a lot more functional.
Any help is welcome! Thanks guys! Hope ya like it!

Fol has posted this news/release:
If, like me you updated and dont want to use the V1.50 EBOOT or your new to DA 2.71 SE, you now have the option to use this repacked EBOOT. It runs exactly the same, so there is no difference, apart from you can stick this 1 in the game folder and it will run fine.

We've already given you an insight to the kind of gang-banging mission action GTA: Vice City Stories will be getting you into when it launches for PSP in November but what if you're tired of blasting turf rivals and hunger for some quick-access fun? Fortunately Vice City boasts some great ways to let off some steam and give yourself a break from drug running, bank jobs and cojones-grabbing gangsters.
Insane stunt jumps
The old favourite returns, with PSP's new Vice City locations given the stunt treatment so that almost any incline you spot can lead to a glorious slo-mo leap. Plus, with the addition of the nippy jet-skis, Vice City Stories offers high-speed water hijinks - including a dramatic series of bounding jumps launching you all over the city's plush golf course.
Beach patrol
Head to Washington Beach for some Baywatch-inspired challenges that see you saving lives instead of ending them. Use your swimming skills to wade out and rescue hapless beach-goers who find themselves caught in dangerous waters, with the added bonus that continued wet work permanently boosts Vic's stamina.
Chunder Wheel
One of the more obvious additions to Vice City's streets, the Chunder Wheel is part of a fully working fairground complete with a bunch of rides for you to leap in and enjoy. Ride the Chunder Wheel with a set of binoculars to get a high-eyes view of the city, or pack a sniper rifle for some elevated assassinations.
