New PSP Release at Lik Sang:
Viewtiful Joe on PSP is a competitive fighting game for four players, and will feature all of your favourite characters from the first two VJ games (including Sexy Sylvia, Arastol, Viewtiful Joe and Captain Blue). It supports Ad-Hoc wireless connection instead of full online play. This game features a number of characters fighting to become a star in the Captain Blue movie. Capcom is also adding two new characters: Sprocket, a sexy girl who scares people with her cold facial expressions and Captain Blue Junior, a sidekick to Captain Blue who calls himself Junior. Capcom is retaining the movie-style play mechanics of previous Joe titles and is adding a new "Fever Chance" gameplay system. One of your goals is to obtain V Points in order to build up your energy.

A Lancashire bus driver has been fired after he was caught playing his PSP when he should have been keeping his eyes on the road. According to the Daily Record, passengers complained to transport authorities after the man was seen with the handheld on his lap whilst driving from Accrington (who? ExACKly) to Blackburn. He was spotted playing not only when the bus was at traffic lights and bus stops, but also when driving down icy roads.
"He was playing a Grand Theft Auto game and the screams of the characters being shot could be heard all around the bus," one passenger is quoted as saying. "I find it hard to believe that anyone driving a car with a PSP on their knee would be considered a safe driver - doubly so a person in charge of a singledecker bus capable of carrying 40 to 50 passengers."
Following the complaints, authorities reviewed CCTV footage filmed during the journey, and promptly sacked the driver in question. "We take a very dim view of drivers using any sort of device that will distract them from their job," said Blackburn Transport boss Michael Morton. "All we are able to say in any of these cases is we feel that the appropriate disciplinary action has been taken." Police are now investigating the matter to decide whether or not the driver should face charges for motoring offences.

An entry in the Neoflash Coding Comp, heres the details:
71M posted this:
Hi,
Here's my entry for the Neo Spring Coding Contest!
It's a small application that I wrote a while back, just thought I'd enter it on the off chance that someone finds it useful!
Features
FileAssistant++ is a multimedia file browser that allows you to browse
any file on the PSP filesystem (memory stick, flash, umd) and any remote
file located on a FTP server thru Wifi.
While conencted to a computer (PC, Mac,...) using the USB wire, it is possible
to browse and update the files located on the PSP memory stick from the computer.
More than browsing the file, FA++ can :
- Display any pictures (PNG, BMP, TGA, JPG)
- Listen to any music file (OGG, MP3, SID, SAP, SC68, YM, NSF, AHX, MOD) with
DSP effects and spectrum display
- Playback any video file (AVI, MPEG, MOV)
- Display text files (ASCII TXT)
- Run Flash files (SWF)
- Run PSP homebrew applications (ELF, EBOOT.PBP) and go back to FA++ while exiting
- Run any UMD (umd:/SYSDIR/EBOOT.BIN) and go back to FA++ while exiting
- Run any Lua scripts (LUA) and go back to FA++ while exiting
- Classic file operations (delete, move, copy, create directory, rename,...)
- Fully customisable, use one of the skin pack or create yourself!
Heres whats new in this release:
There have been a couple of updates since Novemeber which I've not released in FA++ before this release.
1) MP3 playback has been greatly improved and now allows playback of any size mp3 file.
2) The SWF player has been updated to use the source code from my Flash Player project.
Quite a few bugs have also been fixed since then as well.

An entry in the Neoflash Coding Comp, heres the details:
Brunni posted this:
Description: Oldschool library is a library designed for creating 2D games, apps or demos for your PSP.
It's brings you all the power of the PSP graphic processor without having to learn lots of 3D and internal hardware concepts. It's very easy to use and flexible.
For example, you can load PNG images with alpha channel, deform them (zoom, rotation, transparency, tinting, bilinear filtering, ...), directly draw on them, draw maps, 4-point gradients, debug message boxes & console and so on.
You can also play audio files (.wav & .bgm), stream them from Memory Stick. It includes a key handler, so you can get when a key was pressed or is currently held, set autorepeat values for some pressed keys.
But instead of big speeches, you can download some samples on this page:
http://oslib.palib.info/samples/
Currently, it still needs some testing and other features are planned. It will be open source.
Note: I am not the same programmer as Mollusk, who wrote PALib, he just hosts my files.

BakuraMx has released a new game for the PSP heres the info:
Hi Guys, I just wanted to show off my first release. : O I gave up trying to install those linux emulators so I settled for Lua. I made a space invaders clone (why do people always call them 'ports') and named it after me cause I'm cool like that. The Objective is to shoot the little invaders before they reach earth. Hard mode is pretty challenging and the sound effects are pretty high end :P I did the graphics myself too. ^^ IMO I think the game is cool. I dunno try it out and tell me what you think.

When first glancing at screenies of Koei's historical hack-and-slash title Samurai Warriors: State of War, it's easy to see the resemblance with their other historical hack-and-slash game, Dynasty Warriors. Although that would probably be due to the fact that it's essentially the same game, only revised for the handheld market. And despite the fact that this franchise has already been done to death, there are a few improvements (aside from, yes we said it before, a portable version) that would warrant this at least a look-see.
Overall reviews for this game put it in the "okay, but not quite there" category, with statements like GameSpot's complaint of the title's bland gameplay and Worth Playing's mentioning of Samurai Warriors' "under-decorated backgrounds". Gamebrink's observation may at least appease long-running fans of the series by saying that the game is an improvement over the disappointing Dynasty Warriors for PSP.
GameSpot (6.5 / 10) - "No doubt, if you enjoyed Samurai Warriors on consoles, you'll take at least something positive away from State of War. It's very much the same formula translated reasonably well onto a handheld platform. The trouble is that the formula itself is no better off in handheld form than it was on consoles, and the action becomes utterly stagnant after a short while."
WorthPlaying (7.9 / 10) - "Samurai Warriors: State of War often reminds you that you're participating in some trumped-drama for the sake of justifying mass slaughter, but it benefits more than it suffers from its familiar setup. With a large cast of warriors and a diverting map system, character-building and charm-casting effectively replace storytelling to encourage continued combat, even if a slow-to-react camera and under-decorated environments make it a less-than-perfect execution of the huge-clashing-armies formula."
Gamebrink (76% / 100%) - "[Samurai Warriors] is KOEI’s honest attempt at mopping up that former mess and their efforts are very visible with this worthy addition to the PSP’s library. For those that felt that the original Dynasty Warriors for PSP felt a bit lacking and would have liked a game that did justice to the beat em’ up fighter that was Dynasty Warriors for the console then Samurai Warriors is here to pave the way."

(News Submission and New Release By Sousanator)
This is my first program ever, so I hope you like it.
Sort of inspired by pauldude550's PSPiano
PSP Guitar is a simple Lua Applicataion that controls the PSP like a Guitar.
You hold it on an angle with your left hand, with your two fingers over the Start and Select buttons, and thumb over the R button. With your other hand's thumb you flick the Analog stick like Guitar stings. (See infopic) You can hold it normally, but this gives it the feeling of a real guitar.
Thanks to Dark Killer/ pauldude550 for the guitar sounds
and to all the lua guides out there, they helped a lot
Controls
Analog Down + Start makes the D note
Analog Down + Select makes the G note
Analog Down + R Trigger makes a low E note
Analog Up + Start makes the A note
Analog Up + Select makes the B note
Analog Up + R Trigger makes a high E note
Future Plans
-Visulizer Effect??
-Record Mode??
-Change of controls(if requested)??
-Electric Guitar sounds
-anything else??
Enjoy

Source - Joystiq
If Namco's Japanese web site is to be believed, yesterday marked the end of the road for the King of All Cosmos and Katamari Damacy.
As noted earlier this week, the official Katamari web site was counting down until its online closing on the 17th. Unfortunately, the site now tells us that "the team behind both the original game and its sequel, We Love Katamari, has dissolved, and that no sequels have been planned" (according to Gamasutra).
Not all is lost, however, as Professor Katamari (a likely reference to series creator Keita Takahashi) "is currently working on a new game design" with a new team where you unfortunately do not roll things up nor "get bigger." Me and My Katamari for the PSP would appear to be the final version of the game to appear at this point, though we hold out a faint hope that a fantastically rendered "clump of souls" will eventually find its way to next-generation consoles. Until then, catch you later, Prince.
