For those of us in the English or Non Japanese speaking worlds we are missing out on some excellent PSP Games that will never appear in the USA/UK/Europe and although some may be slightly hard to navigate there are some fantastic games, when you look at the Worlds biggest importers Lik Sang they have a total of 202 Japanese games and amongst them some absolute classics, if any of you have brought such games then why not tell your fellow site visitors and let everyone know if they are missing out on a classic PSP game.

Those of you who visit PSP News  will notice that we cover every homebrew and emulation scene via our forums and sister sites and most importantly with regards to this article our hosted Developer Chui a port of the NeoGeo AES Emulation for the Dreamcast, now with the extra power that the PSP has one of our forum users asked over at Yoyofrs Forum to see if a PSP port was possible or would be done and Yoyo himself answered with this comment
"regarding standard aes emulation it seems dreamcast just got it!
so perhaps I(or somebody else with more free time) can adapt the new neo4all/aes release for psp..."
Maybe soon once they get some time we will see AES emulation on the PSP, more news as we get it

EEUG has released a new version of his media player for the PS2. Lots of additions, fixes and changes have been made in this release.
Heres the list :
subtitles support is added for .srt (SubRip) and .sub (MicroDVD) formats. Subtitle
files are recognized automatically by file extension (.srt has precedence over
.sub) as they are located at the same place as .avi file and have the same name.
Subtitles can be switched on/off via player menu. Note that this support is rather
strict in sense that no advanced text parsing was implemented, so subtitle file must
follow specifications (for .srt refer http://www.matroska.org). In case of Subtitle
error message refer displayed number as line number near the place where error
condition was detected. If subtitle line is too long to fit the screen it will be
splitted (by word) in two or more lines (space character is treated as word separator).
Thanks to BraveDog for the research/implementation, Mr.Worm~~ for advises
and testing and mastaalien for remark about long subtitle lines;
- player menu is introduced (start button during playback);
- multi-audio support is added (if multiple sudio streams are present in the .avi file).
Note that all audio streams have to be encoded using same codec and same codec settings,
otherwise results are unpredictable . Language can be changed via player menu;
Thanks to Mr.Worm~~ for sample clip;
- SMS menu is extended with new options (circle pad button can also be used for action
(for numeric input it reverses scrolling direction));
- external font support added. Following fonts can be loaded:
- mc0:SMS/ascii.mtf - contains 96 ascii characters ( 32-127)
- mc0:SMS/latin2.mtf - contains 128 latin2 characters (128-255)
- mc0:SMS/cyrillic.mtf - contains 128 cyrillic characters (128-255)
- mc0:SMS/latin1.mtf - contains 128 latin1 characters (128-255)
- mc0:SMS/greek.mft - contains 128 greek characters (128-255)
New font can be created by 'MTKFontCreator' utility (google) (I've used version 0.6.2).
During font save select Save Mediatek Font -> 4 color comp., variable width (NEW mode).
Min height must be set to 32. During font generation Max Width and Height parameters
(displayed on the status line) must not exceed 32. No error checks etc. are performed
by SMS here, so use it very carefully and on your own risk . Probably .ini file
for that utility has to be adjusted on site in order to generate reduced character sets
(96 and 128 characters instead of 256). By changing that .ini file it's possible to
create virtually any character sets (ISO-8859-7, for instance);
- pan-scan display is implemented. By default SMS displays movie in letterbox mode
(widescreen movies are shown in full width). 3 pan-scan modes are available (via player
menu or square pad button during playback). In pan-scan mode it's possible to scroll
picture left or right using L1/R1 pad buttons (L1+R1 resets changes);
- about screen is added (L1+R1+R2+L2 pad buttons in the browser);
- ps2host.irx driver is updated (fixed DVD hang issue on some consoles);
- fixed bug (only one file can be opened) in cdvd.irx;
- playback time OSD added (cross button during playback);
- auto poweroff timer added (start counting from the moment of pad button press).
auto mode there means poweroff when movie ends;
- fixed bug mounted partition saved in the configuration when there's no partition
mounted. Thanks to JuddMan for the remark;
- audio/video and subtitle/video manual synchronization added. circle pad button
activates OSD for it and L2/R2 adjusts time delay (from -5sec to 5sec (for
subtitles from -30sec to 30sec) with 250ms interval);
- basic and primitive mp3/m3u playback support added with silly allsim demo ;
- bug fixed (sceen offset adjustment settings is saved incorrectly) - thanks to
'dave_t' for the fix;
- video timeline/scrollbar added. This option is configurable and activated by select
pad button during playback (instead of pause). The use left/ ight pad buttons
to set new time offset, start/cross pad button(s) to resume playback. Thanks to
bix64 for the implementation;
- enabled support of VESA video modes: 640x480@60Hz (select+L1 pad buttons at startup)
and 640x480@75Hz (select+L2 pad buttons at startup). Tested only with ViewSonic VX910
TFT monitor with official Sony's cable. These modes are not selectable via SMS menu to
avoid confusions ;
- fixed bug upsampler routine ( icking noise with sample rates < 48KHz);
- new bugs have been implemented ;

According to an alleged employee of Rockstar North in Glasgow, Scotland, the next installment in the GTA series "will be titled Grand Theft Auto: London and will take place in the Great City of London in 1997."
If true, this sounds suspiciously like Rockstar trying to claim the "Great City" back from Sony's supposed usurpers to the crime-drivin' throne. Also, if you recall, there was a PC expansion to the first GTA in 1999 called Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, so this is either a bad rumor or a likely remake of old material.
We here at Joystiq hear a lot of crazy rumors about games, of course, but we sometimes wonder what to make of anonymous tipsters who claim to work for certain "developers of interest." Read on for the other details we received, and make the decision for yourself.
According to our source (who admittedly doesn't have the most perfect spelling), the "3 Island" system will be replaced by a new "North, East, South, West" system, and the main character will be an ex-gangster starting off in the "rough-and-tumble east end of London." Unlocked regions are to include the North End, South End, and West End, in order. The game is supposed to be about 60% finished, with the graphics and physics engines both completed. The focus is now mainly on the game's story component. The game is currently set to launch with the Playstation 3 in North America and Europe in Q4 2006. With about a year's work already done, the PlayStation 3's "fantastic graphical power" should provide some better horsepower under the hood of the sandbox series.

OK i have been waiting for a while to do this but never had time and believe me, juggling 18 sites, a real work life, Children, a Wife and sleep makes finding time hard :P but i manage it without too many probs
With many thanks to Lik Sang who supplied the unit as a review sample i finally got around to doing it, for those who dont know what the hell im talking about and thats easily done :P, heres some info about the unit:
The X2 Battery is a direct replacement for your PSP's rechargeable battery, but offers double the capacity of the standard model. Now bundled with a 4GB HDD, it gives you plenty of space for your saves and files on the go.
The 4GB HD uses ultra-reliable Micro-Drive technology. The HD interfaces with the PSP by means of a flexible Memory Stick™ adapter which is plugged into the Memory Stick™ slot on the PSP.
Once connected, the body of the HD attaches snugly to the back of the PSP by means of two location posts which slot into corresponding holes on the back of the PSP. When used in conjunction with the X-2 double capacity battery the 4GB HD forms an ergonomic extension to the PSP which follows the neat lines of the handheld, fitting snugly in your palms. Once connected, you use the 4GB HD just as you would a normal Memory Stick™; you can playback video, MP3s, movies and images and save from inside your PSP games.
Heres an excerpt from my review:
The announcement of the 4GB Hard Drive by Datel was a major piece of news for the PSP Scene and the addition of the Double Strength Battery and also Datels Media Software and also USB 2.0 Cable meant this was it seemed good value for money against Sony and Sandisk 2GB Offerings, when first announced the price was a steep $249 but upon release it dropped down to $199 and later to $179, ok thats the back ground heres my review.
Intstallation of the 4GB Hard Drive was quite easy, it involved opening up the slot where the Memory card goes and pushing the interface and cable into it, the Hard Drive then with what must be magnets on the case around the Hard drive it pushed in and was very sturdy with only the cable sticking out a bit from where it goes into the Memory card slot, not perfect but decent enough.
The installation of the X2 Battery was a breeze too, taking the original battery cover and battery out takes seconds and the install was just as easy and balanced the back of the PSP nicely, it does look a bit strange with the 2 ends sticking out but not massively awful.

Sony Corp. is in talks to order 20% of Samsung's NAND flash memory chip production, according to Bloomberg.
Sony's PSP handheld entertainment system use NAND flash memory to save data.
Hwang Chang Gyu, head of Samsung's semiconductor business, said he heard from Sony that the electronics giant expects to sell about 20 million PSP units next year.
The large purchase of memory chips and a revised sales forecast could signal an increase in production and a possible price reduction of the PSP handheld, which has seen brisk sales in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
Sony is on track to double the PSP's user base to 6 million units on initial holiday sales estimates.
Handheld market leader Nintendo continues to dominate in Japan where its Nintendo DS trumps the PSP in sales. The company edges out the PSP in the U.S. at 2.7 million Nintendo DS units sold compared to Sony's 2.43 million units sold...

Cnet have rated the top 10 Gadgets of 2005 and the PSP comes in at #1 with the Xbox 360 at #2, heres what they wrote:
The Sony PlayStation Portable is the portable gadget of 2005. If you haven't gotten one already, you must not have seen one in action. The screen alone will make you salivate. So much more than a portable gaming console, it also plays music and movies. Not only does it look hot, it also has outstanding sound and graphics, a built-in Memory Stick Duo slot, and Wi-Fi. And if you already have one, read our PSP megafeature to unleash your PSP's full potential.

Nige has released the worlds first Amstrad CPC Emulator for the PSP, heres all the info :
Merry Christmas and happy new year! CPCPSP is a port of the Caprice32 Amstrad CPC emulator for the Sony PSP.
Version 0.1 contains:
Without sound, about 92% of original CPC speed
With sound, about 75% of original CPC speed
Emulation of the 464, 664 or 6128
64/128k snapshot support
Very accurate emulation
Over the forthcoming releases, the following things should be added:
Disk (.DSK) support
Tape (.TAP) support
A virtual keyboard
A centred screen (and maybe some more screen modes)
Faster emulation
A better webpage (it couldn't get much worse)
Known bugs:
Video overwriting - there is some video corruption in places where the CPC screen shouldn't be intruding
Slowness! Accuracy is good but things need to speed up
User options. Config file mucking around can result in PSP crashes (you have been warned)
Dodgy sound. This is due to the emulator not running at 100% of original speed.
Download from Here --> http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/cpcpsp.shtml
Thanks Nige for an awesome Xmas Present for the PSP Emulation Scene
