Bob535 has updated his Flashcards game for the PSP, heres the news from his site:
I have now released an update to my Japanese Flashcard program which includes all eighty of the tier 4 kanji. It can be found in the My Programs link on the right hand side of this page. This is a great step and I hope to continue working by moving on to the large number kanji remaining in tier's 3 through 1. However without a PSP, as per my last note, I am not in a great mood. So, like all good web pages, I am asking for you to donate so I can again repurchase a 1.5 Firmware PSP and the accessories I need. In return for a donation of more than 5 USD I will be adding your e-mail to a list and providing any and all beta updates I will be working on in adding further kanji to my Japanese Flashcard program.

<a href="http://www.ocprojects.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=56&page=1 " target="_blank" >OCprojects</a> have written an excellent article detailing the first year of the PSP, the article talks about the <a href="http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk" target="_blank" >Homebrew Development</a>, Games, accessories and what the future holds,
Heres an excerpt:
It has been nearly a year since Sony introduced its first handheld console, the Playstation Portable, to the consumer and much has happened in that time. Going up against Nintendo in the handheld market seemed by many to be a fool's errand. Fortunately for Sony they were able to pull through the first year with only minor battle scars. The PSP did better than any other non-Nintendo portable in recent memory, but to say that the PSP dominated at retail would not just be a blatant over-exaggeration, but completely and utterly wrong.
So what exactly has happened in the first year of the PSP's life? Plenty of stuff – some good, some bad, and yes, some ugly. In this article we will be taking a retrospective look at the PSP's first 12 months and also do a little speculating on the PSP's future. The PSP still has quite a bit of untapped potential and with some luck (and brains) Sony might be able to have quite a successful first outing in the handheld game space. While this editorial as a whole may seem negative, the truth is that I am a little annoyed with Sony and how they handled the PSP. Here they have a perfectly capable platform with which to ‘wow' gamers with jaw-dropping games never before dreamed about on a handheld, and they kind of blew it. That said, it has only been a year, and the PSP still has 80% left of its lifecycle to turn things around.
So lets take a look at the PSP - Year One.

The guys over at GameShout are reporting that the PlayStation 3 will be delayed until Spring 2007. The evidence in their article, to me, doesn’t seem all that convincing, but to quote,
“At first, we here at GameSHOUT thought that this was pure speculation, or rumours. But, about 2 weeks ago, the BBC news was covering the Digital Life Expo at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. They stated that the PlayStation 3 launch date is 2007.
The actual quote is, ‘By launching its new Xbox 360 22 months ahead of the PlayStation 3, it's hoping it'll be able to win over the minds and money of gamers’, said BBC.”

Hi guys,
I'm new here, my friend reccomended me. I currently do not have a PS2 slim but I AM buying one, I assure you. I've read this other thread:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...hreadid=570039 *nine months old*
and it says Pacific Mall is a bad place to get a PS2 slim modded because it burns the laser out, I don't know if this is still true as it's December now.
I go to Pacific Mall quite often and I don't really care if the mod chip they give me is a clone, as long as it works and does not damage my PS2 slim in any way.
Are their any other places to get it modded in Toronto? Where would I go? How much? The main thing is that it doesn't damage the PS2 slim, I want it to work for years 
I'm also willing to buy a new PS2 slim from the store which mods it, to get a discount on the modding process. One of my friends said that Pacific offers a modded (brand new) PS2 Slim with 2 controllers and 2 games (copied probably -_- - I do not endorse piracy lol) for $250. I'd definately buy this but who knows about their modding process, I don't want the laser or anything to be damaged.
So, ultimately, the question is - where do I get my PS2 (SLIM!!) modded without damaging the system short term or long term. I'd really appreciate any responses and thanks for reading all this...
- djsupes
P.S: Please, be sure - I really don't want to break such an expensive product.
Oh, and I want to play all 'c0pi3d' games (including Japanese imports such as Naruto), etc. free of hassle (no swapping or anything, just as if I were to put the original in).
Thanks!

The same way Apple made sure to let anyone who owns an MP3 play it on their iPod, Sony must embrace the fact that people will download movies and television shows from their P2P software and will want to watch it on their PSP. Without doing so will only push to further increase the marketshare of Apple’s latest iPod with video and god forbid Apple come out with a portable media player with a bigger screen.
In their article, Attack of the Playstation Hackers, BusinessWeek writes about a man who was able to put his hundreds of movies and TV shows he his 1GB memory cards. That’s cool and all, but still way too complicated. Not to worry though because hackers will find a way and create programs that will make the device even more easy to use and useful in the future and you know this won’t sit well with Sony who will probably think of ways they can shutdown hackers because the free stuff they do doesn’t help out their profits.
A month later, it followed with similar upgrades for U.S. users. Sony officials won’t say whether they are considering suing hackers. “We cannot guarantee PSP hardware that has been modified,” says SCEI spokeswoman Nanako Kato.
If profits are made from games and videos sold, why not let the device prosper amongst the hacker community so it becomes even more enticing to the mainstream community. Isn’t it better to have people buying 1M PSPs because they think they can do cool stuff with it and buy games and movies, instead of 1,000 people buying them because they know they can just play games and watch movies with it?
Would the first Playstation been as successful without the ability to add a modchip and therefore play burnt games? How about the XBOX? We all know Linux wouldn’t even be close to where it is without the ability for people to dig in and hack it to death so why aren’t larger companies pushing aside their old mentalities and embracing the hackers?
David Prochnow, a technology writer, says the PSP had all the potential of a powerful multimedia device but was “crippled” by its software. Using a soldering iron and a screwdriver, he tore open his PSP — and now it prints photographs, shares music with other portable players, and runs all types of converted video files. “Any, and every, PSP owner can become a hacker,” says Prochnow, whose book, PSP Hacks, Mods and Expansions, goes on sale in December.
To me that is so cool and if I didn’t have a PSP already, reading that would definitely entice me further to get one. Instead I get to read this paragraph next:
Sony says it can stay ahead of the hackers. With recent updates, the PSP can now play a variety of music formats and podcasts, as well as digital video clips downloaded form the Net. In October, Sony added its newest option — a LocationFree program that lets users stream videos to the PSP by tapping into a PC or DVD player at home over Wi-Fi or broadband connections.
You can stay ahead of 1000s of hackers just like Microsoft can keep their Operating Systems secure. If anything use the hacker community as a radar for what might be popular and then develop programs and functionality around that. Make it official and you have just added a couple more customers. Doesn’t it make sense?

Team Emergency Exit have released PSPsetX for V2.0 PSPs, heres the info:
Hi,
After several people asked me, if I could make a Button-Swapper for 2.0, I finally decided to make PSPset for 2.0. Unfortunately there are still some problems and I cant write into flash0. But that will be corrected until the next version. Until now you can only swap buttons. The new PSPset for 2.0 called PSPsetX.
Attention: If you do Button-Swapping all your settings get lost.
1. Restorte factory settings before using x-o swapper.
P.S.: www.teamemergencyexit.com is online ;-)

Fox Filmed Entertainment sees the Sony-led Blu-ray high definition DVDs winning the next generation DVD technology battle on the back of widespread Hollywood support and the release next year of the PlayStation 3 video game console, Fox‘s co-chairman said on Thursday.
"In terms of the number of companies involved, the PS3 (PlayStation game console) momentum and the level of content that is committed to Blu-ray, it does seem to have a pretty strong lead," James Gianopulos, co-chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment, said at the Reuters Media and Advertising Summit in New York.
"We believe that Blu-ray not only has the superior technology and backing in terms of strength to market but also the superior content protection," Gianopulos added.
The media and technology industry is racing to offer next generation DVDs that offer higher definition video amid a spike in sales of flat screen high definition television sets, but many in the industry are concerned the dueling new DVD standards will confuse consumers and slow early growth.
The Sony (6758.T)-led Blu-ray DVD technology, which will be built into Sony‘s PlayStation 3 video game console next year, is fighting a consortium that includes Toshiba Corp. (6502.T) that has developed the HD DVD format.
Gianopulos said Fox has no plans to release movies in HD DVD.

It would appear that the Sony Corporation (known for their world-class rootkits) paid graffitists to paint pictures of children using their new PSPs on city walls. Sony "artists" (corporate operatives?) have even been caught in the act of painting advertising campaigns on public walls. Note that these are not paid-for billboards or advertising media, but illegal graffiti in the first place. Beyond that, Sony is attempting to co-opt the subculture and possibly even artistic integrity of real graffists to sell more PSPs! Luckily, people have started to paint back and show that corporate vandals are not welcome." Though it does appear the vandal depicted is copying the image off of a sheet of paper, there's no real proof of Sony's complicity. Take with a grain of salt

Ive had a exceedingly rough week (my Gran passed away on Monday) so reviewing the Logitech Playgear Amp was a much needed boost to my feelings and ill start off by saying the moment that Lik Sang started stocking these i was very impressed with the look of them but with everything in life the only time you really know if its any good is to try them yourself. Now my review isnt as long as i should have given it but to be fair i was that impressed that youll understand why.

McZonk has posted this great article :
With the help of some university lecturer I have removed the flash chip from a psp board. Neither the board nor the chip are damaged. My idea is to build a PSP with 2 flash roms. If I brick one, I can restore it with other one. Everybody how has a bricked PSP can help Team Emergency Exit with giving us the board. I also need some money for build a circuit board to attach two on. Contact: mczonk@teamemergencyexit.com
The Good Facts
The chip is a standard chip from Samsung: K5E5658HCM . There is nothing secret with the chip. Everybody can buy it, if you take 1000 
The Bad Facts
The chip is not only the flash rom (256 mbit nand rom). It is also the ram (256 mbit ddr ram). If you read though the datasheets of the chip, you will find there figures. The flash is built from nand gates. It won't be as easy as access nor gates. So direcly writing into the flash is not easy.
The Ugly Facts
If you look at the board, you will see the wire loops from processor to the flash/ram chip. These wires are made to keep all wires in the same length. This is important for the timing of the ram and timing is very very cirical. If I brought back the flash/ram on the board with just some small wire brigdes, it could disturb the timing of the ram. The flash is not critical, but the ram is.
I will also try to build a two flash psp.
It seems that the article that was posted here exclusively by McZonk has yet again been stolen and worse the site who stole it is getting credited, our apologies to McZonk about these sites
