LostJared Has released Masterpiece v2.6 and developed an add-on to help coders develop for PSPs version 2.01+ using the GTA exploit. This is great news because the easier it is to code for GTA's exploit the more homebrew all PSP users can enjoy here's what he had to say:
This is a library that Ive been writing to aid me in Developing for the GTA Expliot it is based off the orignal GTADevkit..
It allows you to compile and test on windows before you test it on your PSP.
This speeds up the development proccess (atleast for me)
What this package contains:
Source code for Cross GTA and 4 example programs + 2 tools
Updated version of MasterPiece for GTA Expliot:
* Score menu
Knights Tour
Hello World with MasterX Fonts
Random Pixels Demo
......
You can also check the original release forum for the add-on here
...and the release thread for Masterpiece - 2.6 here

Blue2k the coder behind the MBshell for the PSP has posted this update:
<blockquote>Ok, major update.
I've finished creating my first version of an extension (or plugin) system. At the moment it can load an extension and display it on the screen within a window. So what is an extension? An extension is just a normal module (prx) as any module but this module can be dynamically loaded at runtime by the shell, and multiple can be loaded at once! This means that you can create whatever extension or plugin you want for MbShell as long as you conform to a simple API:
Once the module is loaded and started by the shell the module is required to:
1. register itself with the shell by calling a function and providing:
- If it needs a window
- If so, what is the name of the window
- Should the window support transparency
- the width of the window
- the height of the window
- Pointer to a screen update function
- Pointer to a controller handler function
- pointer to a destroy handler function
2. Implement the screen update function returning a pointer to the current buffer it wants on screen
3. Implement the controller handler to handle controller input
4. Implement the destroy handler function to clean up stuff when the extension is closed
I will provide an example with sourcecode that will implement these things and provide a simple graphics library with sourcecode so you can get started somewhat faster.
I'll have to finish the whole thing, but anyone already intrested in taking a look at the extension support can contact me using PM. Be sure to have at least some understanding of C and psp development as I have no time to explain basic things at the moment. Set up the dev environment first
Just for viewing pleasures, a screenshot of the latest build:</blockquote>

While the Nintendo DS continues to experience shortages in Japan, the PSP remained on top of Japanese hardware sales chart, this according to research group Media Create.

PSP - 57,686
NDS - 54,284

The Coder who is behind the NeoGeo CD Emulator for Windows called NEOGEO CDZ Emulator has released his own version of the continuation from the last official release by Yoyofr (although Zelurker has updated his version to 0.7.1 now). The translation from google is poor as usual but here it is:
<blockquote>How it made without. It is private correction edition of NEOCDPSP 0.5. (The after of the 0.5, being kind of to be advanced to the direction which just a little is different)
All sources are rewritten around video and excluding the dependence processing part of the PSP.
Temporarily because it just tried to move, whether it is heavy from the first, (the PSP procuring, because it is third day, permitting, the く put out the ぇ).
Being to become heavy you do not attach the luster processing and load picture.
Because it raises the source cord/code in the next few days, the lawn tide waiting. </blockquote>
Anyone who can translate it better please do.
Anywa download this new release and let us know if its any better in any areas, downloads and feedback via comments

PCSX2 progresses further with Tekken 4 'playable', here is what General Plot hed to say on the official site:
Nachbrenner made this video from ingame on Tekken 4. Game looks very good, with only slight graphics issues which rarely occur.
Video is WMV using Windows Media codec, so you will need a media player capable of playing back this format. This file is being shared using Bit Torrent, so you will need a torrent client, such as uTorrent to download this video.
Tekken 4 Ingame
2 Minutes 0 Seconds | 5.60 MB | Real Ingame Speed - 1.5-6 FPS.

We've got the latest shots of Tomb Raider: Legend as Lara makes her debut on two new games machines – PSP and Xbox 360 - and she looks incredible on both the handheld and the next-gen console.
The actual gameplay of Tomb Raider: Legend is identical for every format but there are differences with presentation, especially with the 360 version; the visuals have been specifically created for the new console, rather than it just being a polished port.
The main difference offered with the 360 version can be seen in the textures, which are far more detailed than in the PS2 and Xbox game. The lighting and shadow effects show more sophistication, too, and are shown off nicely when Lara uses her torch in the dark tombs.
Online play via Xbox Live is not available but there may be content on offer in the Marketplace.
The PSP version might not have the detail of the 360 game but it is still remarkable to look at; proving almost identical to the PS2 version. This is partly due to the fact that using a smaller screen allows the texture detail to be lessened slightly without it having much impact on the overall effect, but that's not meant to devalue the achievement developer Crystal Dynamics has made getting Lara's new adventure on to the handheld.
The developer is hoping to include a system that will allow gamers to swap save games between the PSP and the PS2 versions, so you'll be able to continue Lara's adventure at home or on the move.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend will be released for PS2, Xbox, PC, Xbox 360 and PSP in the spring

SuccessHK have posted on thier site that they have a full restock of V1.52 PSP Consoles, now V1.52 Consoles are rubbish for anything but you can upgrade to v2.0 and use the Eboot Loader to play around 85% of homebrew and emulators for the PSP or you can upgrade to v2.0 then downgrade to v1.5 which gives you full access to all homebrew.
The price these consoles are retailing at is USD 255.00 or about £140 in other money.

Take 2 is bringing Tokobot to UK gamers, the first PSP game to come from Dead or Alive developer Tecmo.
Tokobot is a puzzle adventure game which revolves around the existence of Tokobots, small robot helpers that have extraordinary power.
The tiny bots have attracted attention from various treasure hunters who want to use them to take over the world; something which our hero, Bolt, wants to prevent from happening.
While small and feeble on their own, Tokobots become much more useful when they fuse together to execute joint actions such as creating ladders, swings and gliders. They can also merge together to create a larger, more powerful robot that can wield a sword or act like a crane.
Gamers will start the adventure with six Tokobots but will have to find more as the puzzles and challenges become more difficult.
Tokobot will be released for PSP in March
Tokobot is already for sale at Lik Sang (and its region free like all PSP Games) for $39 or £22 with free worldwide shipping, more info here --> http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?pro...5&lsaid=219793

Game Collector has posted a review of the newly released game Ys The Arc of Napishtim, heres more info on the game:
In the latest game in the series that originated in 1987, players assume the role of Adol Christian and embark on a rich adventure set on a deserted island. This time Nihon Falcom changed for a 3D action-RPG featuring stunning magical skills and a rebuilt gameplay.
Buy at Lik Sang
Heres an excerpt from the review:
I got this game nice and early this morning and I played through up to the first boss. First of all I have to say that what I read about there being no voice was correct Come on Konami, how hard would it have been to keep the voices intact!?! Pretty sad when games like Tales of Eternia, GTA and Comic Party Portable exist with their full voice. Anyway, I guess it doesn't bother me TOO much as I have not played the PS2 version and I have only played this on the PC up till now. Another silly thing Konami did was keep the save points, a very bad thing to have in a portable game.
The graphics are great, they look just like the PC version and there has been no slowdown or anything so far and the music is identical. There is no cheat mode in the menu and the only difficulty available at the begining is Normal.

TyRaNiD posted this news:
I've just commited a working PSP ELF packer to subversion (under svn://svn.pspdev.org/psp/psppacker), it is based in part on the version John _K did a while back but improved somewhat, plus it has a nice simple PC tool to pack you executables. It also works with both normal ELFs (even pre-built applications) and PRX files.
For all the lazy windows 'tards out there I have cross compiled a version for windows using mingw, it is available in the www.pspdev.org psp tools section.
Enjoy and post any feedback/bugs etc. here.
Oh and you need to update your pspsdk, again, to build it ;P
This release is for Developers only.

DJing and Bemani fans listen up!
From the Korean game maker Pentavision comes a special PSP™ version of the web-based and mobile music mixing game DJ Max. The game resembles Konami's popular beatmania series: You take the position as DJ and are challenged to hit the correct button(s) on your PSP™ handheld at the right time to complete the song.
As expected from a music game, most parts are completely in English and make DJ Max easy to understand and to pick up for persons without any Korean knowledge. With more than 50 tracks to choose from (including K-Pop, Techno, Breakbeat, Hip Hop, Rock and other popular genres), every music game fan will find a tune of his taste. Lyrics of all songs are included in the game's manual as bonus.
Prior song selection, you will have several options available, such as speed & fader adjustment, mirror mode selection and more. After completion of a song, you will receive a summary of your performance, including a combo & break counter, rating and score.
Your achievements are saved into a Ranking Chart. Additionally, you can unlock new tracks and items in the Gallery Mode.
Depending on the difficulty level, DJ Max can be played in either 4 button (left, up, triangle, circle) or 6 button mode (left, up, right, square, triangle, circle). You can further manually increase the speed with the L/R buttons.
DJ Max contains a number of game modes and extras as listed up below. Be warned that rookies might have their difficulties in the beginning; DJ Max's difficulty level is adjusted to experienced gamers.
Portable Game Mode
Rookie DJing: Easy difficulty 4 button mode. 10 tracks are selectable from the start.
Pro DJing: Normal difficulty 6 button mode. 11 tracks are selectable from the start.
Club DJing: Expert difficulty 4/6 button mode. Select a music theme and unlock new genres.
Unlimited Mixing Stage: Choose from 40 tracks from the start in either 4 or 6 button mode.
Gallery: Shows your disc collection and a number of images and videos once you have completed parts of the game.
Ranking Chart: Your high scores are saved here.
Options: Adjust settings such as Gear Display (left/center/right), Sound (speaker/earphone), Control Settings & Save Settings
OST
All 58 tracks that are included on the Collector's Edition double disc soundtrack album are also stored on the UMD. The player includes useful functions, such as random and repeat play. Ideal to chill out and listen to DJ Max Portable's sound on the go.
M/V Clips
Select from 39 music videos to play back from the start. Here you can sit back and relax and watch DJ Max's music videos without being challenged as DJ at the same time.
DJ Max Portable is now available as regular edition and Limited Collector's package, suitable to play on any PSP™ console from any region.

Will we see a phone feature appear on the PSP soon? Tom Keating of the VoIP and Gadgets blog seems to think it will. In fact, he considers this more an inevitability than mere speculation. He also suggests that companies like Google are in line to come up with some sort of VoIP service for PSP considering that intergration of IM applications like Google Talk are already headed for handheld devices. And since Google Talk, like the even more widely used Yahoo! Instant Messenger, already has voice built in, it's only natural to expect that a microphone peripheral (say the SOCOM headset) will take advantage of that avenue and allow for phone-like capabilities on Sony's prized portable.
Having a phone attachment on the PSP, especially a free one, is such a neat idea it makes me feel like donating to charity. Of course, several issues need to be addressed. One, the phone attachment needs to be reasonably sized so as not to make the PSP unmanageable. Two, power usage needs to be improved since the PSP's WiFi feature is notorious for its energy suckage. Also, if this development gets pushed back a a year or two, there's always the chance that Sony will do a redesign and integrate these enhancements. Come what may, we're just oh-so-happy that even if Sony isn't maxing out the PSP's abilities, other people are at least trying to on their own.

Veoh Networks, the first Internet Television Peercasting Network, today announced that the majority of its catalog of more than 20,000 independent, user-published videos is now available for download and enjoyment on the Sony PSP.
Veoh automatically downloads videos of interest to a PSP owner's device each time they connect it to their PC.
The recent introduction and adoption of portable video players mean consumers all over the world are looking for high-quality content to watch while on the go. Using Veoh's unique Peercasting model, the network easily and efficiently distributes TV-quality, full-screen video to be played on a PC or Mac or on a variety of new portable devices. Thousands of iPod owners are already filling their players with thousands of videos available through Veoh. From music videos and comedy sketches to how-to sessions and all things automotive, PSP and iPod enthusiasts will find compelling content.
"Portable video is a hot topic for consumers, with many devices introduced and lauded earlier this month at the Consumer Electronics Show. Consumers clearly want to see their content when and where they choose," said Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Veoh Networks. "Veoh is designed to support the many viewing choices consumers need, including the living room TV, their laptop and portable video devices. Our network allows anyone to publish TV-quality video that can be watched everywhere."
Veoh integrates with the Sony PSP Media Manager, sold separately through Sony, allowing easy export of videos from the Veoh Network to a person's PSP. Veoh's peer-to-peer distribution technology, unlike streaming video, gives portable device owners a place to discover high-grade video they can watch wherever they are.
Veoh software, installed on a PC or Mac, creates a virtual television network that allows video bloggers and independent producers, as well as film studios and TV networks, to distribute TV-quality, full-screen video to hundreds of millions of users with broadband connections. Producers can publish unlimited amounts of TV-grade video content to the network, providing consumers with unparalleled choice in television programming and control over their viewing experience.
Unlike rogue P2P networks that are used to share mostly pirated video, Veoh is a community of publishers and consumers, where published content is approved by editors, and consumers are assured they get what they request. The system also integrates tightly with RSS, providing content producers with easy publishing to multiple video systems.
