TheEmulatorGuy posted this news/release:
This is my ID3v1 and v2 editor and reader. It features:
- ID3v1 reading and editing
- ID3v2 reading (will not display tags with padding correctly)
Here's an explanation of the editing:
Press circle to edit a ID3v1 tag. For genre+track number, use the up/down arrows to change. For others, use left/right arrows to decide which character to change, and up/down to change it. If you would like to delete a character, press square. To save, press circle, or to discard changed, press cross.
I realise the editing is pretty tricky (especially Genre). I'll implement a new system (as well as a new design) on next release. This should be treated as a beta and as such you can expect alot more.

News/release from Uberone:
Hi all, its Uber0ne here and i just wanted to release a final version of eChanger for eMenu. I know alot of people have the ability to downgrade now so I mainly released this just because I dont like leaving work unfinished. Also this will still be of use with people who have a TA-082 PSP. In this version I included minor updates that arnt really noticable. The main part of this release is the windows app that automatically puts the files you select on your computer into the appropropriete place on the PSP.
Please note this only supports up to 10 screens.
ONLY WORKS WITH EMENU NOT ELOADER
Also there is a link to a nice site to optain emenus here... http://geeky4life.googlepages.com Feel free to send me an email with a psp request I would appreciate knowing what the homebrew community wants.
Thanks, Uber0ne

Kojima posted this news thats really for devs only:
I needed video for my app, and wasn't too keen on porting a complex library from windows, squashing bugs etc so I decided to write my own, so this was born. Pvf. It includes a windows based command line encoder which converts avi to pvf and it includes a psp C++ based(uses classes so no c I don't think) playback library.
http://www.savefile.com/files/9354107 <Encoder (6.7mb. My god, it's full of dlls! Windows only - Ask for source if you wish to port )
Instructions: Simply drag and drop your windows avi file over the app and it will produce the pvf equilivent for you, informing you of it's progress.
http://www.savefile.com/files/5185915 < PvfLib (NOTE:Tested on 1.5firmware only. I cannot be sure it works on older/new revisions)
http://www.savefile.com/files/3037812 < Psp xxploited demo for 1.5 firmware.
The playback library generates a _frameRgb pointer for each frame which is in pspGL format. (I.e 3 bytes, rgb, 0-255 each )
I've tested it within my 3d engine and it playsback perfectly and pretty fast.
The library uses zlib for both compression and decompression, although you only require it to be installed in your psp environment. the pc side is an exe so not required in cyngwin.

The next generation of optical media is riddled with safety and anti-piracy mechanisms (think the AAC encoder on Sony's music program Sonic Stage ...what a pain). With this encryption in mind, movie producers felt they could rest easier, knowing their works of art (debatable at times) could not be plundered by CyberPirates, or Cyrates.
But avast, mateys! A loophole has been discovered and it's fairly elementary. The first Blu-Ray enabled PCs have the ability to take a lovely full resolution screenshot whilst a movie is playing. Manipulate that Print key (Prt Sc for the hunt n' peck typists out there) so it takes pictures to match the frames per second of the actual movie and you've got a pirated video track! Snag the audio separately and voila -- a super HD movie free for distribution.
Sony and Toshiba are going to counter this with updates for the video players and graphics card that will close the loophole before too much damage is done. Still, kudos to the magazine c't that found said loophole and Heise Security for bringing it to our attention.

Sony's PlayStation 3 will play almost every PlayStation game, a senior IBM staffer has claimed. It's not clear how many PSOne titles won't play, but according to Tom Reeves, VP of semiconductor and technology services at IBM, even 40 of them was too high a number for Sony.
In an Electronic News interview, Reeves said: "Sony is very concerned about quality and backward compatibility. They want to get this right. They tested game after game after game. When there were about 40 PlayStation 1 games that didn’t work properly, that didn’t pass their criteria for quality."
Sony's PlayStation chief, Ken Kutaragi, first promised the PS3 would play PlayStation and PS2 games back in September 2003. However, how well the next-generation console will do so and across how many titles has always been open to question, especially once Microsoft shipped its Xbox 360 console, which still plays only a sub-set of original Xbox titles, using emulation software. As of June 2006, the 360 will play only 227 Xbox games, though ongoing updates to the emulation code regularly add more to the list.

With the World Cup now officially over, what do Europeans have to look forward to? It's definitely not Blu-ray, as many companies in the Blu-ray camp won't be ready to deploy into Europe until January 2007. Pioneer says it doesn't have any "concrete" plans for their European launch, but they'd have something figured out by CES 2007 in January.
Luckily things look better for the US Market and we won't have to wait until 2007 to get our next-gen fix. The cause for this delay can probably be placed onto the shoulders of the PS3, as the "yields for Blu-ray laser diodes are still low due to a high technical barrier, with only Sony and Nichia being the only suppliers". With the PS3 being a must-sell by 2006, every other manufacturer gets the back seat until yields are up. Thanks Sony! You deserve a Zidane special for that one.

Perhaps hoping to capitalize on some of the success of Red Octane's breakout hit Guitar Hero, publisher Konami has made a filing with the US government to trademark the moniker "Guitar Revolution"--a title that shares the nomenclature found in the company's other music and rhythm games.
The trademark, filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office on June 29, is littered with selected keywords and phrases used to describe the company's new endeavor. Among the trademark's listed descriptions are "video game controller in the form of an electronic toy guitar, sold as a unit," "stand alone electronic game machines with electronic toy guitars," and "coin-operated video games."
If Konami does release a guitar-based rhythm game, it won't be unfamiliar territory for the Japanese company. In 1999 it released the arcade and PlayStation game Guitar Freaks, often seen as the inspiration for last year's Guitar Hero on the PlayStation 2. Red Octane's Guitar Hero has since spawned a sequel and scored critical praise, industry nods, and more than 400,000 copies sold, despite a hefty $70 price tag.
The name of Konami's trademark--"Guitar Revolution"--also fits snuggly into Konami's current line of other Revolution music-based games: Dance Dance Revolution and Karaoke Revolution.
Konami had not responded to a request for comment as of press time.

News from IGN
Crave today announced World Championship Cards for the PlayStation 2 and PSP. The game features more than 30 varieties of classic card games including Bridge, Gin Rummy, Solitaire, Cribbage, Hearts, Spades, and Crazy 8's. The non-stop casual action doesn't stop there, as multiplayer features allow players to compete online, and PSP users can also play wirelessly against others who fear the Internet. PS2 and PSP players can even compete against each other. Fancy that!
For those who want to get creative with their casual gaming, World Championship Cards includes a create-a-character mode that allows variations of personalities, skin tone, hair, clothing, and hats to choose from. The PS2 version will also support the EyeToy and USB Headset, though Crave has not announced exactly how the accessories will be used.
The game is expected to carry an MSRP of $14.99 for the PlayStation 2 and $19.99 for the PSP. We will casually report new details as they pop up.

Rockstar and their parent, Take-Two Interactive, have had a ton of hot coffee poured on their laps lately (pun definately intended) with the FTC investigating the sexy add-on to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, grand jury supoenas, closing of two corporate buildings, plummeting stocks and overall sadness. With all this junk going on, many people from Rockstar games have apparently dashed off in the night and oddly enough according to GameDaily BIZ and their list of people who left, a large majority were people in Public Relations or Marketing. The two are fairly related, the former more consumer oriented and the latter business, so what does this portend?
Perhaps the end of Rockstar is nigh -- their "on the edge" style of gaming may finally have crossed the border and the employee's know it. At least, those who have to talk to people outside of their walls. It will be harder to garner support for their games with all these issues arising and these PR and Marketing people vacating is practically a guarantee that there is little support left for Rockstar. On a positive spin, perhaps Rockstar is cutting costs and eliminating shoddy employees. Will there be a GTA5? If the world backs off of gaming censorship, indeed.

A few days ago at GameDaily, the latest in a series of articles about the PS3's price was posted. This one centers around the 2 different SKU models and how the $500 and $600 models are indeed warranted, if not a bargain. To summarize their points:
$500 SKU
No HDMI support outta the box -- Sony will offer some AV device to get you your HD fix or you won't need HDMI to view Blu-Ray's 720p or 1080i resolutions.
No wireless internet connectivity -- move your router closer to the TV to give your game machine a wired connection. Recall for XBox360 owners who bought the $400 machine, the wireless adaptor was $100, so arguing price is a moot point if we can simply move a router around.
No card reader support -- if you're using it as a game machine, there's not much point to moving pictures from a camera or saving games onto cards with the 20GB hard drive.
Conclusion: $500 PS3 is for those of us who just want to game. We don't care so much for HD, heck, a lot of us don't have an HD TV to play it on. Even if so, there's probably some component cables to boost the resolution.
$600 SKU
This is a Blu-Ray multimedia machine. Gaming is optional (but recommended). Standalone Blu-Ray players come in around $1000. So you're winning on $400 already, plus a 60GB hard drive, plus complete PSX and PS2 backwards compatibility. If that doesn't sound like a pretty good deal, what else do you need? The $600 PS3 is pretty much half the price of its separate pieces (Blu-Ray Player, 60GB drive, PSX and PS2).

Taiwan printed circuit board (PCB) makers Unimicron Technology and Nanya Printed Circuit Board (NPC) will start shipping PCBs for Sony's PS3 in the third quarter, with samples already approved by Sony, according to the Chinese-language Apple Daily.
Compeq Manufacturing is still waiting for sample approval from Sony for PCBs to be used in the new game console, the paper said.
Unitech Printed Circuit Board wil start shipping PCBs for Nintendo's handheld game console in the third or fourth quarter of this year, while Yu Fo Electronic will become the largest supplier of Xbox 360 PCBs, stated the paper, adding that Foxconn Advanced Technology (FAT) stands a good chance of landing orders for PCBs to be used in Nintendo's Wii....

News from The Register
Sony will this Summer ship a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo memory card, the company announced today. With the company's array of MemoryStick, Pro, Duo, Pro Duo, Micro, Tiny and High Speed variants, the "revitalised" packagin design Sony promised is probably more welcome than the higher storage capacity.
The 4GB Pro Duo offers a minimum write speed of 15Mbps. It will ship with an adaptor for devices with a standard-size MemoryStick slot. Sony said the product will retail for around €170 ($217/£118) when it ships.
OK thats cheaper than the $250 price we have seen but still some $70(£40) higher than what SuccessHK sells its 4GB Memory Card for, Official or Sandisk product i know which way my wallet would reach for.

The PlayStation 3 could be backwardly compatible with pretty much every original PS2 and PSone game according to IBM's Tom Reeves, the man who's in charge of semiconductor and technology services at IBM.
Speaking to Electronic News, Reeves, who was discussing the intricacies of PS3 chip design and manufacture, said, "Sony are very concerned about quality and backward compatibility. They want to get this right. They tested game after game after game. When there were about 40 Playstation One games that didn't work properly, that didn't pass their criteria for quality."
So we could be in for a massive list of back 'pat titles on PS3 encompassing pretty much every original release, providing Sony of course wants to go that route. Recent indications are that a mass of original PSone games may be heading for the PSP, a more likely and indeed suitable platform for the now rather aged PSone catalogue. By comparison, Microsoft's Xbox 360 emulates original Xbox titles, with just over 200 currently available for play on your 360.
Reeves also explored the (remote) possibility of a slightly dumbed down budget PlayStation 3 which could be powered by fewer Cell processing cores, making for a much cheaper machine. Reeves admitted it could happen but, "I don't think Sony has thought about offering that."

We've been tempering our enthusiasm about the possibility of next-gen hybrid HD DVD / Blu-ray player -- mostly because of Samsung and their fear of commitment -- but Ricoh's new lasers have got us feeling a little more optimistic. Using a 1mm thick diffraction plate with concentric grooves on each side, the new lasers can recognize what kind of disc you've inserted into a drive (be it CD, DVD, HD DVD or BD) and adjust the beam to play it. The ability to write data is further off because of the extra fire power necessary to make up for light lost to diffraction, but until the price of blank media comes down, we won't be worrying about that too much anyway. Ricoh is hoping to start supplying manufacturers with these by the end of this year, so barring any legal and or licensing nonsense, Samsung (or others) could actually make good on their original plan to be the "world's first" to market with a hybrid player by early 2007. We won't be holding our breath, though, not on this one.
