News from GI.Biz
Namco and Electronic Arts have announced plans to co-publish the latest instalment in the award-winning Katamari Damacy series for PlayStation Portable in Europe next year.
Titled Me and My Katamari, the game follows the adventures of the Prince as he is tasked with creating new katamari islands for homeless creatures to inhabit. The PSP version will feature a Wi-Fi mode for up to four players, and a cast of characters that will include many new faces.
Players will have lots of options for customisation at their disposal - there will be new masks and headgear to choose from, and characters can wear up to three accessories at a time. The game's controls have been specially overhauled to suit the PSP.
With its quirky, original gameplay - which revolves around picking up objects by rolling a giant ball around - the first Katamari Damacy PS2 game was a huge hit in Japan, but never made it to PAL territories.
However the sequel, We Love Katamari, became a bestseller in North America and is now down for a European release - also courtesy of Namco and EA - early next year.

Psilocybeing has released pIRC for the PSP, heres the info:
This is pIRC, an IRC client for the PSP, using the wireless internet connection. It is a hacked together version of danzels 'peldet' Telnet client. Many thanks to him for releasing the source code!
So far, it can connect to a server, join a channel, and send messages to that channel using p-sprint.
You won't be able to send raw commands, so to quit you will have to make do with the power button for now 
I'll work on tidying up the recieve code, so we can actually SEE what people are saying, instead of all the information the server sends with messages.
Heres the info from 3 quick releases:
Changes:
0.3:
Moved code over to the newer version of peldet, making it easier to modify
Source included in package
0.2:
Improved message handling
Exit button(hit start, with an empty p-sprint box)
0.1:
Initial release, limited features
This will be a brief readme, but it should have everything you need to hear in it.

The PSP Rhythm Team have updated their Musical app for the PSP, heres whats new:
Inspired by classic drum machines such as the Linndrum and Roland TR-series, PSP Rhythm has been created to use the simple, yet effective 16 step style drum sequencer. PSP Rhythm incorporates the use of audio sample playback instead of drum synthesis.
Version 2.0 has been directly influenced by one of our favorite modern drum machines, the Elektron MachineDrum. The most significant change between ver. 1.5 to 2.0 is our use of "parameter locks" (as used by the MachineDrum). Parameter locks enable you to change the pitch, volume, and pan per step to create moving, changing melodies and effects. This control over your sounds will give you much more creative freedom and allow you to not only use drums, but to use instruments in your music. Song Mode has been enhanced with a mixer function, allowing you even more versatility with your song writing. The user interface has been made more intuitive and easy to use.”

News from Lik Sang
The special holiday promotional packs from Sony have arrived to our warehouse yesterday evening. We are in the process of shipping all preorders, but we of course have much more stock for all new purchases. In fact, we have good stock of all things Sony PSP right now, from Standard Pack to Giga Pack, and of course some Value Packs too, be it in Jet Black or Ceramic White.
The PSP Giga Pack is the latest arrival in the family and includes a few additional goodies that were not bundled neither with the Standard Pack nor the Value Pack earlier: you get a Sony 1GB Memory Stick Duo card instead of 32mb, a Sony PSP Stand, a USB Cable, a Cleaning Cloth, plus the PSP Console in either Black or the Japan only White, Headphones, a Remote Control, Soft Carry Case, AC Adapter (100V - 240V, 50/60Hz, works worldwide) and a battery pack. The Giga Packs come with Firmware 2.50
At the same time, Sony has overhauled the software line-up available in Japan, first of all by launching the Talkman (translator between English, Korean, Mandarine and Japanese), but also by re-releasing dozens of the biggest hits from last year at a budget price. From today on, big names like Ridge Racers, Metal Gear Acid, Minna no Golf or Lumines are shipping for only US$ 34.90, under the label "Best Version".

According to French gaming site, jeux-france.com, Hideo Kojima has confirmed (via his blog) the development of a new Metal Gear title for the Sony PSP. To be clear, this is not another Acid sequel. Apparently, Kojima got together with Shinta Nojiri (Metal Gear Acid 2), Noriaki Okamura (Zone of the Enders), and several others to toss around ideas. Eventually, the group Hideo Kojima deemed several suggestions “satisfactory,” thus beginning the initial phase of production. Could this mean that the Metal Gear Solid series is finally headed to the PSP?

Some exciting news posted at Lik Sang:
This week brought with it the US version of Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion for PSP, and according to GameSpot it's "just what the doctor ordered for RPG fans". A turn-based role-playing game, the adventure plays out in the fantasy world of El Philden, a place consumed by a bitter war. As its citizens fight to survive, one is taken by the darkness, the sister of lead character Avin, a 17 year old boy. As time passes and light returns, wounds heal and lives move on - except for one. As you fight to find Emilee, the game features hundreds of unique characters to interact with, including 14 playable party members.
 
Character artwork for the full 100+ characters was drawn especially for this PSP title by the famous Minako Iwasaki, and the game developers are the legendary Nihon Falcom; creators of the "Ys," "Brandish" and "Sorcerian series". The result is a classic style RPG with modern 3D graphics, and over 50 solid hours of gameplay. With the inclusion of a pets system too, you can select a furry friend to assist you in battle and collect items. Finally one upping the Japanese original released this June, the US edition here offers improved load times. Again out now, PSP owning RPG fans can at last gorge themselves on a meaty adventure.

News from PSPHacks.Net
<blockquote>We are pleased to announce the commencement of a PSP Homebrew Application Coding Contest co-sponsored by PSPHacks.net and RK Digital.
The demand for a standalone PSP Flash Player is well known among the PSP Community, and we are positive that an award might motivate an individual or group to prioritize this project.
What we require this application to do, In order of priorities (meaning the lower on the list the more expendable they are):
1. SWF Format playback - Faithfully play back .swf media full screen, the newer the Shockwave File format, the better
2. Keyboard Emulation - Map PSP buttons to navigation (same way keyboard navigation would work on a PC app)
3. Actionscript Support
4. Kiosk Mode - Boot PSP directly into .SWF file and on subsequent restarts (optional)
Schematics and test media files will be provided to aid in development.
A very basic Flash player based on Mplayer is built into FileAssistant, which is open source and should be used if helpful.
Additionally, there exists ongoing Open Source Flash Initiatives which should also facilitate a PSP port. More info can be found at:
http://www.osflash.org/
http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/
The Award is $500 and will go to the individual or group who delivers the most advanced application by the deadline.
The 2nd Award is that which is given back to the PSP Community, a fully functioning, polished, Open Source PSP Flash Player Application. Please respect the spirit of Open-Source and collaborate - in the case of a group submission, we will help in determining which players made the most significant contributions and should therefore receive more.</blockquote>

Astonishia Story, the source material for one of the most popular games for the GP32 (it was even a pack-in with a special black version of the console), was apparently released on the PSP, under the radar (mine, at least!). The 2D Korean RPG, with its semi Grandia-esque battles has gotten a minor facelift, largely in the magic effects department, and of course the game also takes advantage of the PSP's lovely screen. The GP32 version was called Astonishia Story R, and deviated from the original in...various mysterious ways (ie, I don't actually know), but the PSP version is a port of the original PC game from 1994. It still holds its own today though, due to the very detailed animation, and 2D in-game cutscenes (you can see some footage of ASR in our GP32 Guide). Check the Astonishia website for a gameplay movie, and some screens.

Joreofiorio35 has written a clone of Stepmania in Lua for the PSP, heres what the coder wrote in the read me file:
Hi, this is my Stepmania Port for PSP. I have been working on this for the past couple weeks because I needed something like this for the psp. Only seconds after I posted version one, someone had P.M'ed me that he was making his own DDR for the PSP that would read DWI's and SM files, etc. Then I knew I could stop working, his would be way better than mine! But for fun I continued and this is what I have so far, so thanks for trying this out!
Version 2.0 Supports the Following:
DWI FILES
BACKGROUNDS
BANNERS
4th-192nd Notes
MODS
ASSIST TRICKS
COMBOS
COLORED ARROWS
SONG SELECTOR

Heres more details, make of them what you will:
OK to end fear of the Exploit Here are the inner workings
Tradional PBP and SAVEGAME Layout
-ULUS100xxxx or EBOOT
--Param.SFO (tells how the psp handles the file: e.g. title - update ver. 2.51)
--icon0.PNG (icon)
--icon1.PMF (almost like a short movie clip <500kb
--pic1.PNG (background for pile that appears when you look at the file)
--SND0 (background sound-not in most saves or EBOOTs)
--Data file/data.psp (name vary depending on game saves...data.psp is the name when in eboots)
--Data.psar(only in eboots)
Well my Exploit contains...
--Param.SFO (tells how the psp handles the file: e.g. title - update ver. 2.51)
--icon0.PNG (icon-overflow.tif)
--icon1.PMF (blank PMF found in iso rip kits)
--pic1.PNG (background for file-framebuffer)
--SND0.AT3 ( small randow sound clip)
--Data file/data.psp (from v1.5)
--Data.psar(from v1.5)
and...
--Pic0.PNG (overflow.tif)
My Original Idea For The Exploit
1)the icon0 would be set to the overflow.tif
2)pic1 the framebuffer image
3)the 2 data files as 1.50s data files
4)SND0.AT3 a music file >20mb
5)ICON1 the blank pmf found in iso rip kits
6)Param file set to be read as updater version 2.51
7)pic0 overflow.tif resized to 272x480
Only one thing from my original blueprint wasn't used : the AT3 file is 5kb
How This Works
This works by overloading the psp audio with a glitch sound, and overloading the image handler with overflow.tif, thus in conjuction overriding the TIF patch.
Does that mean much to you ?

GAME, the computer games group, today admitted that it could not meet the huge demand for the new hand-held Sony PSP console.
And in a double blow, the retailer said first-half losses had widened sharply to £14.7 million from £3.5m because of software selling at cheaper prices and consumers being more picky about how they spend their cash than before.
Game said PSP orders had been so strong that all units had sold out in its 397 stores in the UK and Ireland within three weeks of its debut.
Many customers who have paid a deposit for the PSP have not received their console even though Sony dispatched 200,000 units to the UK following its launch on September 1, Game said.
Chief executive Martin Long said only a limited number of units had been delivered by Sony in past days, preventing Game from replenishing store shelves.
But he dispelled fears that the company could suffer similar woes to last Christmas when an "unprecedented breakdown" in the supply of PlayStation 2 consoles led to sales falling by a fifth.
"Sony are very confident about their shipping target for the year which is about one million [PSP] units," Mr Long said.
