This is a new app written in Lua so make sure you have the Lua Player installed. Heres the info:
This is currently a very basic beta of PSysP Info. The aim of the program (written in lua) is just to be an almost task manager and to show lots of system information. However currently it is very limited as I have only
included the freespace, date and time and battery information, which still isn't complete. If you have a look at the code you will see some unused functions and general things that I will either use in a later release or scrap completely. e.g pagestatus. hmm I wonder what that could be all will be revealed in the future.

<blockquote>Hi well this is my second game in lua. Its still in the BETA form. I will be improving the code and the sound clips. this is a game where you have fun killing the little stick guy (will add characters) you press buttons and something will happen to little billy. its a pointless fun game and its a good time waster. and i will be adding more characters so you can torment more then just a stick figure. right now it is only a stick figure.
the controls:
X - find out
O - find out
Square - find out
Triangle - find out
Left, right, up, down - Find out
L - currently nothing (will be button to change characters later)

Please note this is in very early production and it not the best. It is just a game, for you people who like to hurt others except this is safer. its basicaly a time waster. but once i add more features it will be more entertaining.</blockquote>

To clear any confusion, a Sony representative, speaking with Yahoo! Games, has confirmed that the PS3 will ship with a 60 GB HDD, with an option to upgrade. No PS3 bundles will be sold without a hard drive. However, it's unclear if by upgrading, purchasers will have the option to buy the console with a larger hard drive, or if they'll be forced take the 60 GB HDD and buy an additional, larger drive separately—we guess the latter (at least, at launch), but aren't ruling out the possibility of two bundles with different sized hard drives (for example, 60 GB and 100 GB bundles).
Overall, standardizing the consoles to include a hard drive benefits both developers and consumers. But we're still left wondering if the asking price will be out of the range of a significant percentage of potential buyers.

New Commercial Release for the PSP:
Gabe Logan is a highly-trained Precision Strike Operative, commanding a black box U.S. Agency that, legally, doesn't exist. Using Precision Strike Tactics, advanced vision technology, and the latest in high-tech weaponry, Logan's specialty is covert operations requiring deadly force. Logan and his team perform "surgical strikes": missions too sensitive for a military response, too dangerous for civilian intelligence forces. Logan's job is to infiltrate, recon and execute decisively. Once inserted, Logan is his own authority.

New Commercial Game release for the PSP:
Product Features
Daxter allows gamers to play from his animal perspective, chronicling his back-story during the two years spent alone in Haven City and answering the questions of how he managed to free Jak.
A special "Animal" mode allows Daxter to climb walls and creep up on enemies. As Daxter is an ottsel and not a human, players will have a unique moveset with agile abilities, as Daxter can crawl on all fours, fit in small places and maneuver vehicles.
One of the first games to offer PSP and PlayStation 2 interoperability, game via USB connection. Gamers can use their PSP to unlock drivers, vehicles and graphics for Jak X: Combat Racing or connect to their PS2 to open up secret features in Daxter.
Daxter's swatter and bug spray gun offers unique action mechanics across numerous seamless environments. Utilize the spray gun to hover around in the levels and add another dimension to classic platforming gameplay.
Description
After years of standing in Jak's shadow, Daxter finally gets his turn in the spotlight as he stars in his very own self-titled game. An all-new adventure platformer made exclusively for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) entertainment system, Daxter is centered around the world of the lovable orange ottsel made popular in the multi-million-selling Jak and Daxter franchise.

Source PSPFanboy:
Syphon Filter hasn’t made a striking appearance on a console since, well, the first Syphon Filter came out on the PSOne back in 1999. Fans of the third-person shooter can breathe a sigh of relief then knowing that the newest addition to the franchise, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for the PSP, has made an equally large splash.
Excellent graphics, effective use of the PSP controls, and great online multiplayer mark Dark Mirror “the game to beat on the PSP” by IGN, and while 1UP has issues with the originality of the story (“The story…isn’t something to pay close attention to”), both they and GameSpot agree that the ability of the game to play well even without the help of a second analog stick is a blessing.
Gee; two great games and news of several landmark peripherals in the span of a week. Suddenly that feeling I had as a neglected PSP owner is feeling somewhat less soul-deadening.
IGN (9.3 / 10) – “Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror packs an uncommon amount of detail, variety and overall quality. It blends intense action sequences with stealth in a way no portable game has before, and it does so with style to spare.”
1UP (8.0 / 10) – “Better than any PSP shooter yet, Dark Mirror functions without a second analog stick. The extraordinary grace of the remaining controls is enough to almost forget how nice dual-stick control would be.”
GameSpot (8.8 / 10) – “With everything Dark Mirror has to offer, including its great controls, varied campaign, and high-caliber presentation, Syphon Filter is easy to recommend to anyone who likes action games.”

The PSP Scene is a great multinational scene and heres a release from the French Homebrew Scene at PlayerAdvance.org, heres what i can translate what Phantom released:
"And here to come my first realization on PSP. It is a bearing of my project of semi six-month period, knowing that for many in my class C remains a new trick, the level is not very high, but good.
It is thus a simulator of colonies of ants, which will seek puffs out, turns over to the anthill, avoids the obstacles, deposits and follows traces of phéromones, short just small a demo as that (right history of saying to in charge of project "you wanted code portable? bah you have my code on a portable!"

Speaking at the PlayStation meeting, Sony Computer Entertainment chief Ken Kutaragi confirmed long-standing rumours that a massive PlayStation back-catalogue will come available for the PSP. Read the full report on all the PSP announcements here.
Since then, some further details have emerged regarding SCE's plans to monetise its pre-existing IP. The only comments to date from official sources have confirmed first-party titles will be available, though it's a certainty that the third-parties still in existence and not bound by over-complex mergers agreements will queue up to cash in.
The games will be made available in digital form only and distributed via the web from a soon to be announced Sony portal. They will be bought 'for keeps' by consumers and stored on Sony Memory Stick, with users able to keep a single game for as long as he or she feels fit.
Several Japanese retailers have indicated to SPOnG that Sony will sell new SMS cards in stores, each coming with a specified number of game download credits, though we are unable to add anything more to this at time of press.
One uncertainty is how Sony will keep the rampant PSP hacker community from pulling apart its legitimate operation. With the PlayStation games in ROM form, a significant investment into digital security will be required if the IP is to escape the hackers and subsequent illegal, revenue-free distribution via torrent and peer-to-peer groups.
Expect the full skinny on this interesting take on PSP sideways and back a bit compatibility to emerge at E3 if not a shade before.
A Full on PSOne Emulator running at full speed on the PSP Will be awesome, what i would hope is that those of us who already have the legal versions of the games would somehow be able to transfer them to the Mem Card under some type of validation process. Isnt it Funny that Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are now using Emulators on there new consoles, maybe we should petition for a patent :P

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has admitted that the recent announcements regarding the PS3 "will affect Nintendo" - but added that the company doesn't see itself as being in direct competition with Sony.
In an interview with the Guardian Games Blog, Miyamoto said: "Any announcement about PS3 will affect Nintendo. But we don't see it as a competition between the two consoles, although the customers always do."
"It depends on what expectations people have of the PS3 and Revolution. Sony has taken a long time to create their machine but it is obvious that the direction we are taking is different to the PS3."
Miyamoto reaffirmed Nintendo's commitment to creating games that have a wide appeal rather than attempting to compete in the technology stakes, stating: "For a long time now we have been concerned by the direction of the industry. Our competitors are talking about beefed-up graphics and better technology. We could fight in that area but we think it is not necessary and we would rather focus on what Nintendo can do uniquely."
"We want to get a balance between powerful CPUs or beautiful graphics and making the technology comfortable and appealing. We created the DS and Revolution with this philosophy and concept in mind."
Miyamoto also said that Nintendo is committed to online gaming, despite the difficulties involved: "Until recently we have felt that we couldn't make money out of online gaming. It has been very difficult for online games to become an authentic business in this industry."
"I am a game designer myself and what I want to do is make a variety of new games. If we have an online game I would have to spend all my time looking after one game," Miyamoto continued.
"There are a lot of hurdles to be crossed to run an online game but we have fixed some of these, such as ease of connection and security. Now that the Nintendo wi-fi service has done so well we are ready to develop it further."

Yoyofr posted this update on his forums on the imminent release of Version 0.4 of SNES9XTYL. Hopefully we should be seeing a release soon.
Here's a quick status update of the upcoming 0.4 version :
- cheats code implemented
- GUI rewritten
- still some issues with ME full sound, but most games are
working now.
- compatibility lowered
the new APU handling isn't 100% perfect, it will be improved
in next version.
right now it requires to play with a new debug parameter, APU cycle speed. Most games work with a 75% value, some need some tuning.
- 2 players adhoc mode is nearly finished.
I just need to add a simple sync control and it should be ok
- some rendering issues (GFX corruption) fixed
- SPC player added
- more input config options
it should be ready for a release very soon if the last netplay stuff goes well (the sync control)
Thanks to tsurumaru in our forums for the discovery.

Our friends at PSP Vault have posted a great article that blows apart some of the recent PSP Rumours, heres the newspost:
<blockquote>
Now that the Playstation Business Meeting has come to a close, and Sony has publicized their plans for the PSP this year, we've finally gotten some closure on a number of rumors about the PSP. From the "PSP2" to a Sony-branded TV adapter for the PSP, this article provides you with everything you need to know about the status of various PSP rumors that have been flying around the internet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: PSP2
Rumor Source(s): PSPworld, Ain't It Cool News
Rumor Status: FALSE
The rumor was specific: before the end of the year, Sony would introduce a "PSP2" with 4GB of integrated memory and a video camera. A source named "Proteus" even confirmed to Aintitcool.com that the PSP2 would be available around Christmas of this year.
Now that Sony has announced their plans for the PSP in 2006, it's blatantly obvious that these plans do NOT include a "PSP2" in any way, shape, or form. Sony's announcement of a camera attachment for the existing PSP pretty much denies any allegations that the company would be introducing a new PSP with an integrated camera. Furthermore, now that the PS3 has been delayed until November of this year, it would nearly impossible for the company to also introduce some sort of new PSP around the same period.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: 3.00 Firmware
Rumor Source(s): PSP3D, yourpsp.com
Rumor Status: FALSE
Rumors of what would be in firmware version 3.00 of the PSP quickly spread to a wide variety of tech and PSP websites. PSP3D originally posted some rather cryptic pictures of what was supposedly firmware version 3.00, which we here at PSP-Vault determined to be at least somewhat probable. Shortly after this, a user named katjana posted even more pictures on the yourpsp.com forums of what was supposedly coming: "Sony Mail," "Sony Organiser," "Console Security," and so on.
Even if we were to ignore the followup thread posted by katjana, we would still be able to determine this rumor is false. Sony has laid out their plans for the upcoming three firmware versions of the PSP; none of these contain any kind of organizer-type features.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: DLNA client
Rumor Source(s): PSP-Vault
Rumor Status: UNKNOWN
In the process of verifying the authenticity of the rumored "3.00 firmware" pics, I stumbled across some information from this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Sony conducted a low-key demonstration of a "DLNA client" for the PSP.
It was therefore my prediction that Sony would be introducing a DLNA client for the PSP, which I later calculated would be available in October of this year.
Sony's roadmap for the next three firmware updates do not make any specific mention of a DLNA client. However, there IS a firmware update slated for October (or later) which contains "Network support." Sony made no mention of the meaning of this during their presentation. Could this be a PSP DLNA client?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: Macromedia Flash support
Rumor Source(s): PSP-Vault, conjecture
Rumor Status: TRUE
Ever since we here at PSP-Vault first realized the PSP's integrated browser can support Macromedia Flash, we've predicted Sony would at some point add it.
And now they've announced just that. Macromedia Flash support is scheduled for the next firmware update.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: PS3 as a wireless access point
Rumor Source(s): Unknown
Rumor Status: TRUE
I can't remember where the news came from, but there were rumors that the PS3 would be able to act as a wireless access point for the PSP. Regardless of the source, Sony indicated at the Playstation Business Meeting that the PS3 will contain this very function.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: GPS accessory
Rumor Source(s): PSM
Rumor Status: TRUE
PSM was the first to determine the PSP would receive a GPS accessory and e-mail functionality during 2006.
Even before the PSP was released, Sony had publicized a GPS accessory inserted into the USB port of the PSP. It seemed like a no-brainer when Minna no Chizu was announced.
Now that we know the PSP will be getting a USB GPS receiver during 2006, we know PSM was right about at least half of their prediction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: E-mail service
Rumor Source(s): PSM
Rumor Status: UNKNOWN
The other half of PSM's prediction is yet to be proven. During the Playstation Business Meeting, Sony made no specific mention of an e-mail service for the PSP. However, they did announce a Voice-over-IP service, in addition to a video chat service. The PS3 will feature e-mail functionality in the newly announced Playstation Network, so there's still a possibility Sony will somehow integrate this service with the PSP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: Camera accessory
Rumor Source(s): Sony Europe
Rumor Status: TRUE
In the United Kingdom, Sony has putting up advertisements with "lifestyle" type messages advertising the various features of the PSP. One of the messages indicated that the PSP offered some sort of camera functionality, so it was the assumption that the PSP would indeed be getting a camera accessory.
Though Sony did confirm an EyeToy for PSP at the Playstation Business Meeting, there are not many details available just yet. Furthermore, the camera won't be available until September of this year -- it's odd that there would be advertisements about the accessory when it won't even exist for another 6 months. Still, this is one rumor that turned out to be true.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumor: Sony-branded PSP on TV adapter
Rumor Source(s): Variety.com
Rumor Status: UNKNOWN
Variety posted an article about the failure that is UMD-Video. In the article, they claimed that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment America were working to introduce a "PSP on TV" adapter in an effort to boost sales of UMD-Video.
There was no indication during the Playstation Business Meeting that Sony had this kind of accessory in their plans, but I think it's important to point out a small discrepancy -- the adapter is supposedly bring worked on by Sony Computer Entertainment America, not Sony Computer Entertainment International, who conducted the Business Meeting. Does this mean the adapter will be an America-only product? We'll just have to wait and find out.
