Funny thing I noticed while testing an early build of SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Fire Team Bravo for the PSP. In the multiplayer mode there is this neat little headset icon in the upper right hand corner. Sony has been threatening a microphone-enabled headset for the PSP since day one. And they introduced the PS2’s headset when SOCOM came out for that platform. Who wants to bet me that Sony is announcing a PSP headset when SOCOM comes out for the PSP on November 8?

Curly posted this over at PS2Dev
Hi, all
It's the first message I put on this forum, it's to announce that I put on my website a software to download email from a pop3 server with a fix ip wifi connection.
I don't write DNS client, so you have to enter the IP addresse of the pop3 server. Moreover I search information on a dns client. For enter your information, you have to edit the pop.ini that you can find int ms0:\PSP\GAME\PSPPOP\.
The email viewers have a lot of problem due to the complexity of the text format. But the software save the email on the memory stick in the format *.eml. You can load them with outlook express. I made all my test with the wanadoo server (in France) so i don't know if it works with other server.
if people want the source, i can send to them.
bye
Curly

Sherpya has released a new version of the port of Heretic for the PSP, heres whats new:
Update, sound support added is not very smooth, but not so bad  (I think I'll need to implement a sort of noise shaper since samples are 11khz 8bit),
also a bit faster since I've enabled -O3 on the compiler (before was crashing with opt > 01 since there is an incompatible gcc optimization)

The guys over at PSPHacking 101 have released a new video episode of their PSP hacking, heres what they say:
Pox AND Ragable (I was MIA) showing off PSP Radio and a simple Memory Stick to Duo adapter mod. We show you our process of using a 32MB Duo stick to create an adapter so your PSP can read regular Memory Sticks. It's a simple straight through connection and anyone with soldering skills and some basic equipment should be able to do this.
PSP Radio will let you stream music from any SHOUTCast server wherever your PSP can pick up WiFi. Included for this segment is a little education guide on IP addresses. This is in response to email Pox received after showing PSP VNC to control your PC. Keep in mind this segment is for people with little or no knowledge of basic networking concepts.

Earlier in the week we posted news that Blaze/Fire International were making their own PSPTV Adapter for the PSP, now i contacted SuccessHK who seem to be the main Hong Kong Supplier of Blaze products and now they have posted about the PSPTV Device being on Preorder, and for the excellent price of 49$ (around £27), now if you have been following the developments of PSP TV products youll know this is at least 50% of the price of the other adapters, heres more details:
<blockquote>The PSP TV Adaptor lets you hook up your PSP to your home television (NTSC and PAL) via Composite or S-Video and Stereo connectors. This adapter requires no modification of your PSP console. This new peripheral takes a completely different approach and clips on top of your PSP screen, with two screws to fit at the back of the handheld (in these two holes you can see on the top of the UMD drive). Some sort of pyramid grows from the base, with a precision lens and mirror system at the top, capturing the image and light, in a similar way a scanner or camera would. It then converts it into a video signal that is sent through video leads going from the adapter to your TV set.</blockquote>
Features:
Allows you to connect your PSP to your TV
No Modification required
You won't void your standard or extended warranty.
Installation of the PSP on TV could not be more simple
Composite, S-Video and Stereo Sound connectivity
Sounds a lot more interesting now doesnt it, head on over to the PSP Section at SuccessHK for more information.

<blockquote>This week's release of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for the PlayStation Portable has delivered fans of the handheld the biggest game yet for the system. With the game came a couple of surprises, including an unannounced feature on the Audio menu for Custom Soundtrack playback. The feature -- a popular add-on for the Xbox versions of GTA and a heavily requested feature for PSP game releases -- was not mentioned in Liberty City Stories previews, nor was it given mention in the manual, and the feature was non-operational in the game.
After a week of false rumors and questions, Rockstar has finally come out with an official announcement on the Custom Soundtrack feature in GTA: Liberty City Stories. The feature requires a special converter for use on your home PC that will change audio files into a format compatible with the game.
for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
A couple of notes are of interest regarding this Custom Tracks application. First, although GTA is all about rhyming and stealing, Rockstar has made the decision to focus exclusively on purchased music. You can only convert music from a store-bought CD -- no tracks downloaded from a music blog, no tracks ripped from your buddy's CD collection. This also means no tracks bought and paid for from services like iTunes or Napster yet, but it could be possible that future versions of the Rockstar Custom Tracks feature might support alternative audio formats.
NOTE: IGN readers are reporting that iTunes' burning option will make CDs that are recognized as bought discs by the Rockstar Custom Tracks application, and have been able to upload tracks to their PSPs after first burning their music to a standard playable CD. We have not yet confirmed what will and will not work within Rockstar's application.
Interestingly enough, this is not called the "GTA: LCS Custom Tracks" converter -- it's the "Rockstar Custom Tracks" converter, and while Rockstar mentions the custom tracks are for play currently on GTA:LCS only, future PSP games from the company may be able to use the same music files. When you play music in the game, it does not mix in with the radio stations as in the Xbox feature for GTA -- instead, it plays like a CD player, with the left and right buttons switching the music track instead of changing the radio station (you will have to turn Custom Tracks off if you want to go back to the radio.) The Custom Soundtrack feature will interface with the FreeDB CD database for picking up the song names and other relevant info about the songs you are converting, showing up in the game so you know what you're listening to and can pick tracks easier from a big collection.
Before you convert, you must also have at least one GTA: LCS save file on your PSP's Memory Stick, or else the custom tracks cannot be imported. The Custom Tracks feature will not read music off of your PSP (MP3 or otherwise), and your PSP will not be able to read Rockstar tracks in the Music menu on the main menu -- these tracks only work inside the game. The program uses ATRAC encoding to massively and cleanly compress your music (it'll typically squeeze a CD down to half of what you get in MP3s of the same quality), but you cannot play ATRACs already on your PSP, or move ATRAC files into the Custom Track folder for play in the game. You must also have a USB cable to transfer the music from a PC to the PSP, and there is currently not an application for Macs to make Custom Soundtracks.</blockquote>

Another freebie is a good thing, heres the scoop from Joystiq
If you’re interested in getting a free copy of NBA ‘06 or checking out the Black Star alliance then the Breed Love Odyssey Tour is just the ticket. Even if you’re not interested in purchasing a ticket to see Mos Def & Talib Kweli—along with Pharoahe Monch and Jean Grae—perform on behalf of PlayStation, you can still hit up the “Street Team,” which will be giving away 50 copies of NBA ‘06. Follow the link below for a list of venues.

<blockquote>This handheld runs on Linux, and we all know that means it can do everything but clean the crumbs from under your keyboard. The GP2X player has a dual core ARM processor, 64mb NAND Flash RAM, SD memory card slot, a 3.5” TFT screen. It plays photos, movies, music and games, you could even read an eBook because you are probably smart like that if you own this gadgy. Utilities and emulators? Don’t bore me with your silly questions. Think Quake, Doom, SNES, Megadrive, MAME, and media players galore. You can even connect the GP2X to a TV. For a more than reasonable $190, you’ll get the player, USB Cable, manual and 1-year warranty. Oh, also, it runs on two AA batteries. What does PSP stand for now, huh? Pretty Sucky Peripheral? Poor Sony Poo-poo?</blockquote>

It's possible, says Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi; all that's needed is a TV capable of displaying it.
Coming soon to an Internet message board near you: waves of more-hardcore-than-thou posters referring to any game running at 60 frames per second (fps) as "a slideshow."
Appearing at the Tokyo International Digital Conference on Thursday to talk about the technological capabilities of the PlayStation 3 and the Cell processor, Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi said he expects the PS3 to be capable of running games at a stunning 120fps, according to a report in The Nikkei BP.
Never mind that even newer TVs aren't capable of refreshing the screen 120 times in a single second. Kutaragi said that when new technology comes to market, he hopes to have the PS3 ready to take advantage of it.
As for the Cell chip at the heart of the PS3, Kutaragi also had high hopes for its future beyond gaming. Using high-definition TV as an example, he said that the Cell chip could take advantage of the technology in many ways, such as displaying newspapers in their actual size, showing multiple high-definition channels on the screen at once, and video conferencing. He emphasized that the Cell can be used to decode more than 10 HDTV channels simultaneously, and it can also be used to apply effects such as rotating and zooming.
Later, he introduced the idea of a Cell cluster server that operates with 16 units, each consisting of eight Cell chips running at 2.5Ghz. That would be a total processing power of 25.6 teraflops. Kutaragi also outlined plans to shrink the chip from the current 90-nanometer process to a 65-nanometer process in the future and eventually down to a 45-nanometer process.

News From Lik Sang which will interest those in Europe and Asia more than the USA but heres the article:
Now we could go into a long news item explaining how Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is in stock now for PSP, but then again, those few words are just about all most people need to hear. The pre-orders are getting processed, and for those who didn't order in advance, here's the link to pick up a copy now, and it'll be on the way within 24 hours.
Back in our GTA coverage two weeks ago, we mentioned how it was rumored you'll be able to stream your own custom soundtracks from your Memory Stick. Rockstar kept their lips sealed on this, but out now, we can confirm GTA: Liberty City Stories does indeed allow custom MP3 soundtracks through a choice called "Our Radio". What songs will your station play? Post your music to kill by in a forum topic here.
Furthermore since our past news item, along with the new trailer below, three more of the seven multiplayer modes have been revealed, such as the "Wedding List", a Gone In 60 Seconds style rush to grab cars and take them to specific shipping crates. Then "The Hit List" has one player be the mark, and survive as long as possible as everyone else hunts you down. Each person has a turn at being the mark, and who ever lived the longest wins. As a reward to those who kill the mark though, they get additional time added to their score. Lastly, "Street Rage" is a race to the finish with a GTA twist, i.e with weapons, power-ups, car switching and more.

Review from SuccessHK
<blockquote>PSP owners should all be familiar with the 32MB memory stick that comes with the purchase of the Sony PSP. This small amount of space is capable of saving all of your game files, as well as a few songs or a few minutes of low-quality video. With the release of the 2.0 firmware recently, the PSP is not merely a holding device of games, but a multimedia device.
It currently supports a variety of photo and music files and can even display video in 4:3 and 16:9. However, a lot of owners are missing out on these features because of their 32MB restriction.
Luckily, Lexar put this problem to an end. The Lexar Memory Stick Pro Duo 1Gb is capable of holding not only your save files, but also several full-length, high quality movies, hundreds of .mp3 or ATRAC3 music files or even thousands of photos. Obviously it seems a right decision, but some PSP owners still have concerns involving performance issues. After benchmarking the Lexar Memory Stick Pro Duo 1Gb against the stock Sony 32MB Memory Stick Pro Duo, we can finally put all of these concerns to rest.
Well there you have it, the Lexar Memory Stick Pro Duo 1Gb outperformed the stock of Sony 32MB Memory Stick Pro Duo in every single aspect imaginable. Strangely enough, transferring photos is unbearably slow on both devices, but that is more of a problem with the PSP*s hardware than the memory stick. Surprisingly, even the PSP*s web browser had noticeable speed increases just by switching to Lexar *s memory stick. Unless you intend to just use your PSP for playing video games and nothing more, then you should definitely consider a Lexar memory stick.
The files transferring speed of Lexar Memory Stick Pro Duo 1Gb is much faster than PSP`s has been proved, however the owners focus on its price. Unless you intend to just use your PSP for playing video games and nothing more, then you should definitely consider a Lexar memory stick.
The 1GB memory stick just sold $89.
While there is no absolute answer regarding capacity, the best we can do is give approximations of how much data can be stored. Although it*s advertised as a 1GB memory stick, only 949 MB of it is usable from the start, due to system overhead. Depending on the length of the movie and the quality, you should be able to fit 2-4 movies on the memory stick without a problem. We managed to fit 2 hours of high quality of footage with enough excess space to hold save games. Again, with the music the number of songs that can be stored also depends on quality and length. Roughly 350 .mp3 should be able to fit on the memory stick, but we would recommend going with the ATRAC3 format to save space without sacrificing too much sound quality. The file size of pictures won*t vary from the PC to your PSP because it is now able to support everyday files, like .JPG formats. In short, the Lexar Memory Stick Pro Duo 1Gb will be more than satisfactory for your portable multimedia needs.
In conclusion, the Lexar Memory Stick Pro Duo 1Gb is clearly the best memory stick available for the PSP. Not only it is the highest capacity memory stick on the market, but also it outperforms Sony*s memory sticks. Simply put, if you*re ever going to buy a PSP memory stick, buy from Lexar.</blockquote>

News from IGN
Sony's latest firmware update makes the PSP compatible with Sony's Location Free Base Station, a device that attaches to your home entertainment center and broadcasts your media through your internet connection, allowing you to view television and videos on the PSP when in the vicinity of a wireless internet connection. This new compatibility has produced an unexpected bonus, useful for those wanting to play PS2 games on the go.
The Location Free Base Station unit is compatible with a variety of devices, including Sony branded digital video recorders. The PSX, a failed entertainment hub device that combines a PlayStation 2 with a hard disk and DVD recorder, is on the Location Free compatibility list, leaving one with the question: can you load a PS2 game disk into your PSX and then play it on the PSP?
In its latest issue, Japan's Weekly Famitsu reveals that the answer to this question is yes. Just as you can use the PSP to watch any videos stored away on your PSX, you can also play a game that happens to be loaded into the system. The action appears in a window on the left side of the PSP's screen, with a digital version of the PSX's remote control taking up the right side. To get into a game, you go through the PSX's Cross Media Bar, which appears in the video window exactly as it would appear on your television (you'll have to be sure to not confuse it with the similar looking Cross Media Bar that the PSP users for its interface). The digital remote includes the PSX's "End Game" button, allowing you to switch off your game and go back to viewing the other media on your PSX.
Famitsu tried out a few games, including a fast action title like Dragon Ball Z Sparking and slower adventure games and RPGs. The magazine reports that, while the image quality is clean, the two to three seconds of lag time from when you push a button to when you see a reaction on the screen makes faster titles impossible to play.
We'd have tried this out for ourselves, but the Location Free Base Stations cost about $300 or so. That's quite a bit to pay for a laggy game experience, but those who want the convenience of accessing their digital video recorder on the go (along with the bonus of PS2 gaming on the go, assuming your DVR is a PSX) ought to look into the Location Free technology.”
