So you’re all custom firmwared out, now what? Now it’s time to extend, taking your CFW to the next level with Custom Firmware Extender (CFE).
Originally put together by Cpasjuste — CFE is a collection of plugins that enable a number of things: jam your own tunes in game, play ISOs/homebrew over USB, change the CPU speed, better brightness control, control each individual audio channel and the list goes on… Check the download page for all that.
This updated version of CFE, according to the source, has been tested on 6.35, 6.38 ME, and 6.20 PRO-B4. Depending on your PSP model some features *may* not be available

Sony is investigating the possibility of "targeted behaviour by an outside party" as the PlayStation Network continues to remain offline across the US and Europe.
It has been impossible to sign in to the PlayStation Network throughout today.
This morning Sony described the problem as an "outage", but in a new message posted on the EU PlayStation Blog, manager James Gallagher suggested hackers may be responsible.
"As you are no doubt aware, the current emergency outage is continuing this afternoon and all Sony Online Network services remain unavailable," he said.
"Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party. If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service.
"Our engineers are continuing to work to restore and maintain the services, and we appreciate our customers' continued support."
The Anonymous group, upset at Sony and George "Geohot" Hotz' out of court settlement over the PlayStation 3 jailbreak lawsuit, declared war on Sony earlier this month.
In a video posted to YouTube last week, Anonymous promised to deliver "the biggest attack you have ever witnessed".
However, earlier this month Anonymous "temporarily suspended" its war on the PlayStation Network – saying its beef was with Sony, not Sony's customers.
"Anonymous is not attacking the PSN at this time," Anonymous said. "We realise that targeting the PSN is not a good idea. We have therefore temporarily suspended our action, until a method is found that will not severely impact Sony customers.
"Anonymous is on your side, standing up for your rights. We are not aiming to attack customers of Sony. This attack is aimed solely at Sony, and we will try our best to not affect the gamers, as this would defeat the purpose of our actions. If we did inconvenience users, please know that this was not our goal.
"This operation is a response to Sony's attempt to deprive their customers of products they bought and therefore own, wholly and completely. Anonymous will not attempt to fight this by following the exact same course of action.
"We have plenty of tricks up our sleeves."

Bad news for everyone who wants to get stuck into Portal 2's co-op or the new SOCOM 4 multiplayer - PSN could be down for as long as two days, Sony has said.
Issues arose with the European and American PlayStation Network operations yesterday evening when players (including this editor) found they were unable to sign into their PSN ID. Sony acknowledged the problem late last night, and the EU PS Blog peculiarly stated this morning that the service was "down for maintenance". Although 'maintenance' on the launch week of Portal 2 and SOCOM 4 would seem unlikely.
Being more candid with users, the US PS Blog has just posted an update: "While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we're able to get the service completely back up and running," it says.
"Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we'll update you again as soon as we can."
The PlayStation Network was reportedly attacked by hactivist group Anonymous earlier this month with the group releasing a statement soon after saying that it had suspended that line of attack. It's unclear if today's outages are linked.

via Joystiq
Japan and Europe may be finished with the PSP Go, but SCEA says it's not done with the downloadable-only handheld device.
Following up with Sony of America for clarification after recent events, we wanted to know if the company was still manufacturing and shipping the handheld. Today we were told: "We are continuing production of PSP Go for North America."
Several weeks ago, Sony informed Joystiq, "We are going to continue to make shipments of PSP Go," after Amazon updated the PSP Go's product page to note the device was "discontinued by manufacturer."

Announced during GDC, version 1.5 of the PlayStation Home client will go live tomorrow morning, April 20. The update not only introduces engine enhancements designed to aid developers in making full high-performance games for the platform, but a number of interface tweaks as well.

The Sony PSP Go is today being reported to have "completed" its production and shipment in Japan, seemingly foreshadowing a worldwide discontinuation of sales. Such is the word from Impress Watch, which cites an official statement from Sony Computer Entertainment that promises support, firmware updates, and repairs for the PSP Go, but no further stock of the handheld. We doubt it'll be missed too much, what with its high price and inability to play UMD games, but if you're afraid this signals a similar demise for the PSP-3000, worry not. Sony has said it'll focus on shifting as many units of that classic device as possible until the NGP strides in and revolutionizes everything.

The European PlayStation Store has wolfed down an early helping of Easter offerings this week.
Slashed in price is Eurogamer 10/10 scoring PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX - down to £3.99. Elsewhere Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is just £5.10 and God of War Ghost of Sparta is cut to £11.99.
New releases include alien invasion movie tie-inBattle: Los Angeles. It's a first-person shooter where you can shoot aliens and be American. Yeehaw!

God of War 4 is in development and will be released in September 2012, according to respected unofficial PlayStation mag, PSM3.
Last month a CV appeared online referencing a "God of War 4 cinematic test" and although the animator in question has since claimed this has nothing to do with Sony's flagship series, in its latest issue, PSM3 says it's learnt more...
"PSM3 has heard from another source that God of War 4 is coming, and will hit in September 2012," the mag reports in its latest issue, which is out next week and with subscribers now.
"Our source works closely with the God of War universe, and let slip he'd be working on a related project at the same time."
While last year's God of War 3 concluded a trilogy, Santa Monica Studio has said it's "not the end" for the hugely popular PlayStation franchise.
The next game in the series has previous been rumoured to feature online co-op gameplay.

Sony Japan has confirmed its digital-only handheld, the PSPgo, is going out of production, as was strongly rumoured yesterday.
The Japanese platform holder told website AV Watch that new PSPgo units will no longer be manufactured or shipped "in order to concentrate on the NGP". The remaining PSPgo stock will continue to be sold until it's gone.
A Sony spokesperson said: "It will continue to be sold, and we will keep focusing our attention on it from here on out."
The UMD-less PSP went on sale in late 2009. Last year Sony slashed the price of the portable.
As pointed out by Kotaku, Sony is likely to continue supporting the device, much like it did with PS2 even after the PS3 went on sale.

Team Ico boss Fumito Ueda has announced that The Last Guardian has been delayed.
Wait, the disappointment doesn't end there; the much anticipated HD re-release of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus has also been knocked back.
Ueda's holding back on announcing new dates for both the HD collection and The Last Guardian but with the latter originally scheduled for a release some time around the end of the year it's likely that we won't see it until 2012.
The developer did, at least, post an apology on the EU PlayStation blog, saying that the delay will mean a better quality product. Fair play:
- "I announced at last year's Tokyo Game Show that the release timing of The Last Guardian which is currently being developed would be holiday 2011.
However, to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users and to fulfill First Party Studio's obligations, I decided to postpone its release timing.
All the members of my production team are working together at a fast pace to develop and release the game in First Party Studio quality.
I sincerely apologize to all the customers who have been waiting for "The Last Guardian" for so long, but I beg for your patience. I will also announce the new release timing at a later time.
Although not a major blip on the mainstream radar, The Last Guardian is perhaps one of the most anticipated games among PlayStation 3 fans.
Last month Ueda said the title was pushing the PlayStation 3 to its limit. We've heard it time and again but, with the way The Last Guardian is looking, we're inclined to believe him.

My VCR is stashed in a closet, right next to a couple of CD-ROM players, a laser disc player, and other forgotten electronics. Is my Blu-ray player about to join them? Blu-ray really hasn't caught on — and probably never will. 'I'm surprised DVDs have continued to hang on,' said King, referring to the fact that player sales of over 20 million units in the US last year were pretty much evenly split between DVD and Blu-ray models. Blu-ray discs and players are clearly superior to DVDs, offering more features and a better picture overall. So why haven't shoppers been impressed?http://entertainment.slashdot.org/st...-To-Catch-Hold

Sony has issued a statement which neither confirms or denies circulating rumours that production of the PSPgo has ceased, instead focusing on the prospects of the forthcoming NGP.
The original report surfaced in a blog, translated by Andriasang, which was apparently written by a Sony shop employee. That blog highlights the fact that the link to the PSPgo has been removed from the Sony Store website, although the product listing still exists on that page.
The UK's Sony site has the white model go in stock, but lists the black model as "temporarily unavailable".
Sony's statement in response to the stories is inconclusive at best.
"It is a very exciting time for PlayStation portable devices," Sony told sister site Eurogamer. "Before the end of the year we are launching NGP, our next generation portable device, which we believe will revolutionise portable gaming.
"In the meantime, the current generation of PSPs continue to be in demand, especially since the introduction of our value for money, Essentials range of games and we will continue to meet that demand."
The download only portable has certainly been far from successful for Sony, rarely exceeding triple digit weekly sales figures even in Japan - where the PSP has seen such continued success.
Some retailers were unhappy about the model, too, excising them as it did from continued attached sales. Specialist Dutch retailer Nedgame, the country's largest, even refused to stock the device.
