Spastic has released a new game written in Lua and released in our Lua Forum --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11633, heres what he posted:
This is my second shot at programing in Lua. It's a digital take on the classic Quarters drinking game. The instructions should be easy enough to follow.
I'm new to programing so it was difficult to get a true multi-player format. If anyone has suggestions let me know.
There is some pretty dodgy physics on the coin, but it's good enough to make it fun to play. I'm going to work with a better programer to try to get that more realistic, again suggestions are welcome.
I'd like to waive all liability for any damages that may arise from handling your PSP while drinking with buddies. And as always don't play PSP drinking games and drive

BBS who im right in thinking is the webmaster of the German PSP Emulation Site --> http://www.pspemus.de/ has posted this news in our Submit News Forum:
News from Sonyxteam.com!!!
WARNING TO EVERY PEOPLE WILLING TO DOWNGRADE THEIR PSPS !!
We wanted to warn the users that the fiirst beta downgrader version released by MPH is VERY Unstable ! It has about 5 to 10% chances to brick your psp when using it, because it writtes directly on the flash offset and that can be very dangerous, uf the offset changes just a little it will overwrite another file than index.dat, and that will brick your psp without doubt !
However that issue had been fixed on v1.0 , the probability to brick your psp using v1.0 is less than 1%.
We still want to remind you that we still give credits to MPH for taking part on the downgrader creation, (as he did gave credits to SXT as well), and will be added in any future downgrader version based on the one we devlopped together. So althrough 1.0 Final was entirely coded by yoshihiro and finished by yoshihiro, we give credits to MPH for it as well, as it's still based on the beta version where we worked on it together.
(Especially MPH and Yoshihiro, as yoshihiro found the lflash writting code on 2.0 working overflow exploit, and MPH and yoshi both had the index.dat idea, MPH created and compiled the first beta version from the knowledge and data he and yoshi acquired together).
Here the changes:
- More stability
- Added text infos
- No need for index.dat file anymore
- Easier for noobs
http://www.sonyxteam.com
Thats great news and if anyone uses it successfully let us know 
Im sure this will start another case of handbags at dawn when certain hackers with friends on certain sites see the above release, in any case lets keep it clean gents

IndianCheese has done a review of the Jansport Maffia Backpack, heres what he says:
You may be wondering why there is a review for a backpack in a PSP review, but this backpack was made for the PSP. This backpack boasts many PSP fan-loving atrributes. It contains a side pocket to store the PSP in for easy access, which will also hold the Logitech Playgear Pocket, NyKo Charger Case, or a variety of Pelican cases. Or, if you are leaving your PSP and want it to be secure, there is a hidden side pocket that has a thin zipper strip and a tiny zipper pull to keep it from being noticed easily.
Check out the rest of his review here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11585
Got a Games, Accessories or UMD Movie then review it and if its a decent review ill post it on the main site, submit your reviews in our PSP Review Forum here -> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=86

Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2005 10:20 am Post subject: Template for map based games like Pac Man, Bruce Lee etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've added a basic example for map based games to http://www.luaplayer.org/tutorial/index.html . Now it is trivial to implement games like Pac Man (one day) and easy to program games like Bruce Lee (less than a week). Some more ideas: http://www.df.lth.se/~ola/c64games.html
Some of this games were really fun back in the old days and even today. Today games have nice 3D graphics, but sometimes I miss novel ideas and good game play. Maybe I'm just too nostalgic :-)
A bit more difficult would be games with scrolling, like Boulder Dash, Marble Madness or Wizball (interesting game idea). But with 4 offscreen images and incremental update of parts of the images it should be really fast.
Discuss this and your game ideas in our Lua Forum here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=89

Quick question to those who downgraded, would you sacrifice the ability to play Homebrew and emulators and play games like the Grand Theft Auto game if they made you install a non Homebrew firmware.
Sony you can be sure are working to cover the holes in their firmware to stop exploits and it wouldnt be unheard of for a company like them to trace the hackers and pay the hackers to find aany exploits and fix them.
To answer my own question above, i think the time has come for me to buy a US PSP as thats the area with the UMD Movies i most want to watch.

Got sent this email 
Hey, I did a rather cheap hack but it amused me and I figured maybe it'll amuse someone else too. You can find into at:
http://www.digital-yume.net/neisha/
Basically I ran vMac on top of Bochs and booted Mac OS. I'm hoping it'll garner interest in new ports of applications.

Sony is preparing to release its next dose of PSP firmware, hoping to combat the latest hacker victory, which allows PSP owners to downgrade their v2.00 systems to v1.50. A spokesman for Sony commented, “We plan to deal with this issue with the next system update.” While Sony has not specified a release date for their next firmware upgrade, the company will most certainly enforce it with the wave of upcoming holiday titles—starting, perhaps, with GTA: LCS. And for those of you hoping the next upgrade will include a host of new features, don’t count on it, v2.01 (or whatever it will be called) will likely be quick and dirty tidy.

Sony is engaged in a tug-of-war with hackers who keep cracking its PlayStation Portable software to unlock the device and run their own applications on it.
The company is preparing another update to the PSP firmware to fix a recently disclosed bug that lets hackers downgrade the PSP system software and run their own, so-called homebrew code on the device, a Sony representative said Thursday.
"It is not...what the device was designed for," said Patrick Seybold, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We plan to deal with this issue with the next system update." He declined to say when that update would be ready.
Soon after Sony released the PSP earlier this year, hackers started hunting for bugs in the software that runs the device. Flaws were found and used to run homegrown applications, such as a PDF reader and an FTP client, on the device. The bugs were not used to attack PSP users.
Sony last month updated the PSP firmware to version 2.0. The update encompassed new features, including a Web browser, but also fixed the flaws that had been exploited by the hackers. The 2.0 update was made available on Sony's Web site and will be included in new PSP games, which will require the update, Seybold said.
Sony is not "actively going after the people doing it," Seybold said, but the company does not advise running homebrew code on the PSP. "Running unauthorized software will void the warranty," he said.
The PSP was released in the U.S. in March. Since then, more than 2 million units have been sold in the U.S., according to Sony. The device is sold primarily as a portable game machine, but users can also play movies and music, display digital photos and browse the Internet through its built-in wireless networking.

Gamers can barely predict what will happen within the industry between today and tomorrow, let alone sound respectable and forecasting two years from. That's the job of analysts at Piper Jaffray, though, and their latest release includes such whoppers as: PlayStation 3 leading in hardware sales and a new PSP model next year.
Piper Jaffray says by 2008, PlayStation 3 will have grabbed 45-50% of the hardware market, with Xbox 360 barely trailing at 35-40% and Nintendo dropping to a minority share of 15%. In fact, they predict Revolution adoption to move at an almost snail's pace, with only half a million units next year, two in 2007 and three in 2008.
The race between Sony and Microsoft, however, will far more competitive, but Piper Jaffray eventually predicts PlayStation 3 will pull ahead of the pack. In the end, though, the competition between the three systems will produce an impressive 30% total increase in consumer purchases for videogame systems.
Almost more interesting, however, is the speculation Sony will release a "next-generation PSP" with an audio/video hard-drive next summer. A remodled version of the PSP with two analog sticks would be fantastic, but Sony purposely cutting into the lucrative sales of memory sticks doesn't really jive with a philosophy based on the bottom line.
They're the ones paid to be analysts, though, not me, so we'll see how Piper Jaffray's predictions roll out over the next few years.

Another big HK Store is stocking the PSPTV, heres what Lik Sang have to say:
When the GBA was still the non-plus-ultra of handheld gaming, a small Japanese company called Gametech got overexcited, and developed a GBA2TV Adapter called TV de Advance. The adapter was not just a plug-and-play type device, it had to be installed inside the GBA, by adding a second flat ribbon cable to the original GBA LCD display. Furthermore, the case of the GBA had to be replaced with a new one, that now had the new TV out ports on it.
Another accessories developer is now following their path, and announced a TV Adapter that connects the PSP to your beloved TV. The TV Adapter Kit for PSP (PSP2TV) lets you hook up your PSP to your home television (NTSC and PAL) via Composite or S-Video and Stereo connectors. It also lets you connect and use a PS2 controller on your PSP. By supporting a 16:9 and a 4:3 screen mode, it promises to keep the PSP's screen proportions as realistic as possible.

gaeko99 has released a great new Media Player for the PSP, it can play most formats and at full resolution too but its in Chinese and so a little hard to naviagate but its worth a look at. I personally tested an Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Trailer on this and a Adult Video (needs must) and while it was perfect and one the sound a bit stuttery it was watchable especially the latter video 
I tried both Mpeg and Avi and both worked great.
