What a year for the DCEmu Homebrew & Gaming Network, the network expanded from the original Dreamcast site to take in all of my sites and then with the server problems we upgraded to a Vbulletin Forum and now the forums actually serve as news forums for all the network sites.
The community is expanding at a massive rate with a total of 20 sites under the network covering all these consoles
PSP
Nintendo DS
GBA Micro/GBA SP
Nintendo Gamecube
Xbox
Xbox 360
Dreamcast
PS2
PS3
GP2X
GP32
Nintendo Revolution
Tapwave Zodiac
Gizmondo
Nokia N-Gage
iPod
Retro Consoles & Gadgets
We also have some of the Homebrew scenes best developers hosted here at DCEmu:
Chui
PSmonkey/Nexis2600
GPF
We are a network of sites who post news about Homebrew, Development, Hacking, Emulation and the Commercial side of each console, we never ever take the easy road and post warez or host iso loaders etc, the quickest way to destroy a scene is to do that so we keep well away from it.
This year has seen the emergence of the PSP scene and our PSP News site has enjoyed so many releases to a new console that it has been staggering, of late the GP2X has took over the billing of the scene with the most releases but that could change at anytime.
We have over 18,000 members now and looking at the stats we had over 4100 online at one time and thats pretty damn decent, some of the scenes we cover dont see much activity but we follow them regardless.
In 2006 we hope and well with a nutter like me running the place, this network will get bigger and better and hopefully one day the legal Homebrew scene will be looked on more favourable than it has been in the past, we can but hope 
Of course even though i do a heck of a lot of work id like to thank Martin64 for hosting me and my server killing sites (yeah we actually killed a server), also Soully and DS69 and indeed all the staff and mods at DCEmu and the members and helpers who make my job easier, a big thanks to you all, it has personally been a year with some great ups (this network) and some severe downs ( losing family members) but its great to come home and emerse myself in the Homebrew scene, a scene ive followed for 9 years or more (im forgetful), ive had some crackin arguments (yeah those are fun) and made some great friends but its all worth it overall, just remember though without the developers and hackers and i suppose in a smaller way newsposters and webmasters/mods etc you wouldnt have your scene, so its always worth trying to say things in a correct way even if you dislike their work or release.
Ok ive bored everyone to sleep and im drunk anyway but HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Danzel has released a new version of his PSP Telnet application, heres whats new etc:
"Whats new in this version?
I wrote an (almost) complete vt100 emulator and added in some telnet protocol negotiations.
What does this mean to you? Well it means that PSP is now a very powerful and featureful machine.
You can now browse the web, check email, stream movies, get on MSN/AOL/ICQ/GTalk/IRC, play text adventures and play nethack!!!
Heres a cutdown version of the changelog:
fixed some p_sprint bugs, the keyboard image is correct now.
Much better telnet support, I've implemented a vt100 emulator, currently it lacks a few features and seems to have some bugs, but it is good for most programs.
There is a known crash bug in telnet, read the README, I want your stack trace if it happens!
Programs List (If you have ran some programs, please post feedback and I'll add statuses here)
nethack
Works fine with default term, make sure you have colors turned on in your .nethackrc so you can enjoy them
Hard to control though, will get its own keyboard layout in a future version.
elinks
Works fine with default term, the control keys keyset is very good here .
nano
Doesn't work with default term, runs with TERM=vt100. You can't do anything as ctrl-keys dont work. (I <3 this app so I'll definately get It fixed)
mplayer - Stream movies to your psp! (sorta, lol)
I run mplayer with - mplayer -quiet -vo caca /myvideofile.avi
It runs fine render wise. However on high framerate clips it likely runs too slow, infact you'll probally find that peldet 0.8 runs too slow to watch stuff, overclock your psp to 333mhz and it should run better (this will get improved in the future)
BitchX
Works great use it with bitlbee (www.bitlbee.org) to get on all the messenger networks."
Theres 2 versions one which runs at 333mhz, download both via the comments

The Wall Street Journal posted a good flash up showing a good comparison between the new home video game consoles. Covering the Xbox 360, the Playstation 3 and the Revolution, this article goes in depth to speak about market shares and base unit installations.
With the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360 in 2005, Sony the current market leader, and Nintendo will both follow in 2006 there is sure to be fierce competition. All consoles promise amazing graphics, high fidelity audio, wireless networking support and a focus on multiplayer games. This year alone gamers are expected to spend approximately $12.8 billion on hardware and $19.3 billion on software according to Wedbush Morgan Securities.
Current Installed Base
Microsoft Xbox - 24 million
Nintendo Gamecube - 21.5 million
Sony PS2 - 83.2 million
Microsoft Xbox 360
Pointing out that Microsoft's initial push to release their product was a important jump on the competition. Microsoft Expects to sell around three million units within the first 90 days of launch. However they have less games then were hoped for. In addition where was Halo for Xbox360? This game would obviously put more Xbox 360's in the hands of gamers, looking at original Halo sales. Had it not been for lack of consoles for sale however the disparity in price was no help either. Seeing Xbox 360's being sold from the $299 base price up to $1500 or more, including rather sleezy business tactics by Best Buy.
Sony Playstation 3
Master of the Market, Sony has consumed the video game market for the last two generations of video game consoles. Selling 150+ million Playstation consoles and holding relationships with many top video game console developers. Sonys new system boasts a DVD Drive that supports Blu-ray format, providing 54GB (11 1/2 times as much storage as a typical DVD-R) However this time could be tougher for Sony seeing 'Microsoft's aggressive push and their deep pockets'.
Nintendo Revolution
Responding to the Nintendo's new sleek design, they said that despite that the console 'lacks a hard drive or built in DVD player, it is expected to be priced lower then its rivals.' With the addition of Nintendo's virtual console, Revolution owners might be playing Mario Brothers and Chrono Trigger on their new consoles legally! While bringing so much history that is based on years of solid games, the Revolution does throw one interesting curve, the controller. While their will obviously be other controller options 'some analysts worry the unusual device may confuse and scare of some gamers', other controller possibilities (such as an original Nintendo controller) were announced during a press conference.

29HD Network announced today that it is set to launch 29MP4 Video Store Beta(29MP4VSBeta), the first full-length feature film and video download store for Sony's PSP platform in the U.S.. The first such service for the prolific PSP platform.
Beginning on December30, 2005 the 29MP4 Video Store www.29mp4.com will offer full-length feature films and videos priced at $2.99 each. During the initial beta launch over a dozen films will be made available with a ramp up to over200 movies and videos planned by mid 2006 when the U.S. sell through of PSPs are expected to reach over 8 million.
Like iTunes and other music download services 29MP4VS Beta will allow the browsing, selection and purchase of MP4 PSP formatted films and videos that are then downloaded and stored on either a PC or Mac for later transfer and playback on the PSP.
In keeping pace with Sony's projected goal of 12 million PSP units sold world wide in the first year, over 5 million PSP have already been sold in the U.S. Sony also projects $250 million in movie and video sales in year one.
According to Joseph Shak co-founder of 29HDN, 29MP4VS will give PSP owners an affordable choice for starting a legal collection of MP4 encoded films at a reasonable price. Bob Caird of 29HDN, who headed up HBO's launch of HBO and Cinemax as a paid satellite service for dish owners explains, "with the right pricing and selection available through 29MP4VS, this service is laying the ground work for the PSP to emerge as a true multi-media portable platform, in the same vein as itunes and the iPOD".

ATI and Nvidia, quite understandably, have a pretty bitter rivalry, stemming from the competitive graphics card market in the realm of PCs. While IBM can laugh all the way to the bank, having a hand or two in the creation of all 3 next-gen console's CPUs, ATI and Nvidia are having to share the console market. ATI are providing GPUs for the Xbox 360 and Revolution, while Nvidia can claim the coveted PlayStation 3 as its own.
It probably comes as no surprise, then, that the European Developers Relations Manager for ATI, Richard Huddy, is taking some technical jabs at Sony's next-generation serving (again). Huddy recalls how, "as [he] understands it," Sony went to Nvidia very late in the development cycle and they delivered was a modified 7800GTX - which "is a pretty powerful piece of hardware," he notes, "but not very elegant...Xbox 360 technology is likely to outperform PlayStation 3 technology by a pretty healthy margin in the long run." Remember, though, this is coming from a competitor of the PS3's GPU maker, so he's just a tad biased - and since Nvidia is probably never going to be critical of its own product, don't expect them to side with ATI on this matter.
This is just one of many competing firms, others being the console makers and disc formats, using the console launches to take jabs at one another. Do you ever wonder if consoles launches are just excuses for companies to vent?

Our half-brother twice-related through marriage, Kotaku, has some juicy information coming out of the rumor mill regarding the PS3 and stability. Their insider, Fishie, unlike most tippers, actually has some credibility since he reported dead-on facts about the Xbox 360 prior to E3, and now he offers a little info about the PS3:
PS3 Info Before I Head Out Of Japan Friday Towards Noon, Thats Tokyo time. Have fun waiting a while longer, boys. No way that thing is coming out in March. The games just aren’t there and lots of other isseus I can’t delve into right now.
Bunch of rubbish? If not, what does this mean for the PS3? Lots of delays? A forced release full of bugs? A complete flop? Horrible game selection that will kill a good console? What you think, Gizmodoians?

Deniska the one man porting machine has again released a new port in our forums, heres the info -->
A bunch of bugs fixed:
Controls:
in-game directionals are re-linked to D-PAD (a lot of you requested this one)
If you like the analog pad, use the previous version.
[X] FIRE/SELECT
[R.TRIGGER] JUMP
[START] PAUSE/MENU
You can re-assign the last 3 by changing the values
in ./supertux/config file:
(joystick-a 5)
(joystick-b 2)
(joystick-start 11)
PSP Button codes are:
0 Triangle
1 Circle
2 Cross
3 Square
4 Left trigger
5 Right trigger
6 Down
7 Left
8 Up
9 Right
10 Select
11 Start
12 Home
13 Hold
You can transfer your "saves" from the previous version:
just copy the contents of ./supertux/save directory
You can skip the intros/credits screens now by hitting the [FIRE]
Although the level editor is not completely functional yet, you can now do some basics like deleting objects/saving screens, etc.
If you want to create your own levels, stick to PC/Linux/MacOS verions for now.
BTW, the game is easily modable: you can change all the graphics/music/level logic w/o any programming knowledge.
So I hope to see some mods soon ;-)
Please let me know if the new version works for 2.0 firmware...
Download it in the release thread here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=16186

McZonk the coder behind the Quake2 Port obviously feels a bit peeved at comments from some of the less imature members of the scene, heres what he posted at his site:
"I got a lot of commendation and a lot of critism for my Quake 2 port. And it is good to hear the nice words and I can live with the bad ones. But something really pisses me on, the dumbasses that turn every thread into a Halflife or Counterstrike porting discussion. Here is a little advice for you: write your own port and ...
My favorite spam on psp-updates:
Why is everyone so excited about this crap? It's a very ugly port of a 10 year old game. Before anyone gets pissed off atme, I'm one of beta testers. No one wants to play this crap.
The really funny fact about that is, he is not one of my testers. It's sadly.
I know the psp scene is not really big and it is flooded with small kids. There aren't much of good licenced games as well as just a few good homebrew games. Callisto (greetings Klesk) as example. Some good emulators have been written. In fact just a few coders make cool stuff, so why you cannot be thankful for their work. They spend hours of their leisure time just to make games and emulators and all of their stuff is free.
So just keep your stupid mouth shut and accept the games that are ported or in progess. And if you really want a game ported, do it your self.
Greetings to all psp coders out in the world!
Quitting the PSP scene
I'll really think about quitting the psp scene. It makes no fun. I hoped it would get better, but it got worse. The hole scene is filled with stupid suckers play isos the hole day and some other asking questions about iso gaming, because they are too stupid. On the other side are the 2.01+ guys. Asking the hole day to write a downgrade and spam around everywhere. Everyone is crying about the bad homebrew games and emulators. Not enough speed or too bad graphics. I can understand why a lot of developers quit.
I'll finish quake 2 and think about leave the psp scene. I'll still would make demos with Titan, because the psp is a cool piece of hardware, but perhaps I'll stop make stuff for the community."
I personally hope McZonk stays but i can understand reasons why coders get fed up with a lot of the scene.

Article posted at ExtremeTech
This feature appears in the upcoming ExtremeTech book "Hacking the PSP." Here we'll learn how to emulate a PC on the PSP, install Linux, and run Windows on the PSP.
So the PSP can do games, movies, video, music, photos, and Internet. Well, that's not enough—it should be able to run software we enjoy on our home PCs! Utilizing an open source x86 emulator called Bochs, which emulates the hardware usually found in PCs, and creating a few hard disk images with the software we want on them, you can run Linux and even Windows on your PSP!
What You Need
Hackable PSP: (i.e. it can run Homebrew apps)
Memory Stick: Enough space for Bochs files and virtual hard drive image (512 MB stick is probably plenty, but a 1 gig stick will be more utilitarian since you still have plenty of space for other stuff)
Virtual PC or VMWare: if you're going to create your own disk images ($99+ depending on what version, but there are free trials available that will suffice for this project)
Virtual DriveCreation Software: such as R-Drive Image, if you're going to create your own disk images (~$49, and there's a free trial)
Windows 95 or Windows 98: You'll need the disks or disc if you're going to install Windows
NOTE: The American PSP only has 32 megabytes of available RAM, and the emulator uses a little of that, so that's why we're sticking to Linux and lightweight versions of Windows like Windows 95 and 98.
NOTE: There is also a Macintosh emulator called Basilisk II, available for download from PS2Dev.org. Basilisk can run Mac OS 7.5 through 7.6.1, and cannot run Mac OS X, but that's not bad!
