Fanjita has once again updated his excellent Eboot Loader for V2.0 Firmware PSP Consoles, heres the info from Fanjita:
<blockquote>With this release, and probably for the next few, the focus is on adding extra supported applications and new techniques to the loader. As a result, a few apps that used to work will probably be broken. I've taken the decision to just live with that, and fix everything up in a couple of releases' time, because attempting to fix up newly-broken EBOOTs is too time
consuming. Every release from 0.8 onwards on is capable of working unaffected alongside previous releases, so this shouldn't be a big deal.
Important changes in this release:
- Introduced a configuration file, to allow tweaking of EBOOTs by end-users. See loader085.cfg for details.
- Improved kernel-mode override patching logic - makes a lot more apps run.
- Attempt to kill surplus system threads, for stability.
- Run loader from reserved memory for increased stability.
- Tidied up some memory reuse in ELF section header handling
- Bundled graphical menu now filters to only display the names of EBOOTs for selection - all the surplus fluff is hidden. Also now handles v1.5 kxploit-style homebrew directory structure.
- Added option to allow L+R+START reset to go back to loader menu, rather than main menu.
New supported EBOOTs:
- SNES9xTYL 0.2c
- TCGS Car
- ASTC (Another Silly Tetris Clone)
- Moppi's Flower Demo
- Tail Tale
- Scrabble Assistant - loads but hangs?
- PSP Revolution
- Heretic PSP
- SMS plus 1.2
- Crystallise 1.0
- Binary Clock
- A-Blit demo</blockquote>

So you’ve got two comparatively similar aspects to any new devices—odd and different. This falls under different. Six design students over in the UK took notice to how people were playing their PSPs. Some leaned against a wall, others forward in a chair. The students then designed statue-like furniture out of the poses that are actually quite comfy when playing a PSP. These life-sized statues are being touted as “furniture” and that they are designed to “enhance gameplay”. I’ll buy it, but they scare the hell out of me.

The question above, "Is Piracy Damaging the PSP and the Homebrew Scene?"
Lets cast our minds back before the first "UMD Loader" was released, we were enjoying masses of great releases on a daily basis, the japanese coders were ruling the roost and the homebrew scene was thriving then the first UMD Loaders came along and then sites that had posted homebrew were now posting these releases and some were even posting the downloads but to be fair all those sites gave the real homebrew scene a kick in the teeth.
I remember one newsposter saying in a newspost that Pro Evo was released and it worked on some loader, needless to say this was a newsposter on a rather big site who was saying its ok to warez.
Now Sony have forced PSP Wikis Loader offline (not the whole site that certain sites have reported wrongly), does this mean they will come after homebrew sites or just target those who blatently report on loaders and have the downloads and discussion in their forums.
Well i hope its the latter and then maybe the Real Homebrew scene can carry on and say good ridance to the piracy of new PSP titles.
In the quest for visitors some site ops take the easy road to get visitors whether they actually post the files or not but its better to stay legal than risk Jail and fines just to get a few visitors.

Capcom has announced Capcom Classics Collection for the PSP, featuring 20 games and wireless multiplayer. Featuring twenty classic games, wireless ad hoc multiplayer, and horizontal and vertical screen orientation, Capcom Classics Collection Remixed is sounding like the retro collection to buy in 2006. Some of the twenty games included in the collection are 1941, Avengers, Block Block, Captain Commando, Magic Sword, Quiz and Dragons, Street Fighter, Strider, Three Wonders, and Varth. Some of those titles aren't exactly well known, but the inclusion of Strider is sure to excite many a gamer. This was one of the notable absences of the recent Capcom Classics Collection for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, so the inclusion of the game on PSP version is a real feather in its cap.

The UK has been in the news lately because of the shortage of PSP consoles but if you are desperate to get a PSP then an import console may be the best way, the only thing wrong with import consoles is that you cant play Region 2 UMDs on say a Region 1 PSP but games are Region free so even if you update the firmware you should be OK.
Our Friends at PSPTree have plenty of PSP in stock and they are from the UK, SpelKontroll a Swedish site has loads in too. The Divineo Network have shops worldwide for PSP and then you have the 2 shops who have a great reputation and probably the cheapest too, they are Success HK and Lik Sang
If you really are desperate for a PSP then one of them will fit the bill, but one word of advice, use Airmail for delivery and you should miss those horrid import taxes.

I have now wasted plenty of cd-r's and I seriously have no idea what else to try. I can't get any emulators to run on my ps2. I have Swap Magic 3.6 and every single time i try and get it to read my disc, it says "not a valid ps2 disc." I've tried SNES Station and IMBNES. I got IMBNES to work on my computer using a psx emulator, but even that won't read on my ps2.
I've seen many different variations of instructions and I've tried them all. Some say for SNES station you need to include the Install file, some say you don't need it. Does anyone have a set way that works? PLEASE help, I wouldn't ask if I hadn't tried everything I knew already. Thanks everyone.

Leading retailers have already run out of this year’s must-have gadget, the PSP — a handheld Sony Playstation — while others are down to their last few thousand. The revelation is bad news for Playstation fans and shareholders in retailers such as Game Group and Dixons.
Sony insisted this weekend that more stocks were on the way to stores — although shop staff reported deliveries were sporadic and as few as 10 units were being delivered to individual stores. “We are a victim of our own success,” said a spokesman for Sony.
Amazon, the online retailer, has warned customers it cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas and on Ebay, the online auction site, PSPs are being sold at a big premium to their retail price. The Sunday Times contacted Dixons, Comet, Currys, Argos and HMV stores across the country. None of those contacted had any PSPs in stock.
“We are out of stock at the moment because we’ve had so many orders for them,” said a shop assistant at Dixons. “The chances are there won’t be any for a long time. That’s nationwide.” However, a spokesman for Dixons insisted that a number of its stores still had PSPs in stock.
At Game in Manchester a shop assistant said: “All the units that are arriving tomorrow have been reserved.”
In September Martin Long, the chief executive of Game Group, reassured shareholders about the availability of PSPs. A spokesman claimed that the stores had received a new delivery on Thursday. The shortage could have a long-term effect on retailers. Christmas is a key trading period and if fewer units than expected are sold this season, software sales in 2006 will be hit hard.
Microsoft will launch the latest version of its games console, Xbox 360, this week. Industry observers have already expressed similar concerns about a shortage in the run-up to Christmas.

I knew there was rumblings of this for a while but it seems Sony have finally got their wish and the PSP Wiki Uploader and not the PSP WIki Website has been forced to close, some other PSP Sites who dont check their news properly have posted that the whole site has been took down, luckily it hasnt but its a blow for the scene. Reasons why they did it arent clear at the moment but if they come after homebrew sites we will know then, although any site foolish enough to host loaders etc had better watch their back.

Having followed the PSP scene before Nems Hello World release, infact 8 months before that release. I have seen it all, ive seen the emergence of a great console with a fantastic homebrew scene and excellent commercial games. The PSP like every console starts off with millions of sites and a lot of them have invaded the homebrew arena and claim they are the sole source but as you know theres no one source even if people cant see that.
The first few months since the release of Hello World was the most work ive ever endured for one console scene with the great Japanese coders releasing many new versions of emulators sometimes 2 and 3 times a day, of course that cant carry on and the release of UMD loaders and the sad newsposting of these loaders at sites that claim to be for homebrew did a lot of damage as many coders refused to see their emulator in between warez loaders.
Software releases like Lua Player has enabled a mass of inexperianced coders to release software for the PSP and we owe a lot to Shine and Nevyn for the excellent release they brought to our Scene.
Fanjita and his work on the Eboot Loader for v2.0 PSPs has also been an awesome piece of work.
Theres been so much great software released that at some stage it will slow down and that time is coming, eventually you will see a couple of releases per week and hopefully that will be enough to keep people interested in the Homebrew and Emulation scene for the PSP but as new Commercial games are released with Firmware that closes the doors to homebrew even tighter will you keep with homebrew or go to the commercial gaming side.
In the future we will see much more use of ASM and maybe just maybe we will see full speed GBA, PSX and a possible playable N64 emulator.
Whatever happens we will be here in the long run

The Winner of our PSP 30 Day Coding Competition has once more released a new version of the port of the Abstract shootemup for the PSP, heres whats new in this latest version:
"NEW IN V0.8
- ogg vorbis support: original soundtracks by Kenta Cho provided for stages 1-5 and 3 ENDLESS modes
- tracker music support (s3m, xm, mod) is still in place (tracker music is provided for stages 6-10)
- custom ogg, s3m,xm,mod music support: replace existing stg00.*,stg0.*-stg9.* files in sounds directory with your favorite music (there are plenty of mp3/wav/atrac --> ogg converion tools available on the net).
- minor code optimizations.
Note, that ogg decoding requires more CPU cycles. So you may want to keep tracker music for late & action packed stages of the game to make the things run faster.
You can reset the High Scores by deleting the noiz2sa.prf...
You can still customize almost all other aspects of the gameplay or chose the "classic" settings - just read the atatched documentation.
Enjoy,
DENIS
PS: It appears that there is another port of NOIZ2SA development taking place at snv.ps2dev.org. This, more straight forward, port approach is based on the most recent versions of SDK, SDL as well as other recent PSP libraries. While it is still not as fast & polished as this version of the game, it definitely worth keeping an eye on."
