Thatotherdev a coder for the PS3 Scene has decided to leave it until the legal PSL1GHT devkit has developed into a more complete dev environment
heres what he says:
Its been a short while since I posted, longer since I released a game and ages since I put out anything for Wii. That’s going to change.
Lets make it official. I’ve been encountering some frustration relating to PS3 development lately so I’m using that as an excuse to take a break from developing for PS3. Not permanently. My plan is to take a look at PSL1GHT in a month or two and begin using that in place of the official SDK that I’ve been using so far.
During that interim I’m going to be returning my focus to my much neglected Wii and to a lesser extent DS. I’ll most likely have a port of Tick Tock Car Race posted sometime tomorrow. Keep your expectations for it low as at the moment its running pretty poorly for me on Wii. In the next following days you can expect to see some things that I have begun working on that are incredibly ****ing cool.

Coldbird posted this on his blog:
Dear followers, sorry for the lack of updates on here, I will try to keep this page a lot more updated in the future.
As for the Updates. There are quite a few, not exactly that new but still.
6.35 PRO evolved, you all noticed, from a simple HEN to a CFW with a PXE, ISO Support, PSN Support, and several other tiny goodies like CPU overclocking, Plugin Support, etc.
To simplify it for you guys to keep up 2 date on the latest CFW files, we have setup a official download page for our CFW data, which you guys can access at http://pro.coldbird.co.cc, future releases will be hosted there first place.
As with everything else we provide, this is and will always be freely available, should you however decide to donate to our cause, please do so using one of our PayPal donate icons, like the one the menu-bar over here, should you donate please make sure to identify your donation in some way, flag it with “For PRO Development” as its mean of use or something of the sort, should you just wish to contribute to the hosting costs of this place, just leave the mean of use field empty.
As we have already lost 2 PSPs in the process of developing nice software for you guys, every cent would be a big help to keep us updated on the physical media we might need in future.
Now onto the more private updates, concerning my life. I’ve taken a big step in life by proposing to my beloved girlfriend, who has been sharing this blog with me ever since I can think back, after being a couple for 2 years and approximately 2 months, she said yes and we intend to marry sometime within the next 1~2 years (I know, kinda late, but we have our reasons for this).
Other than that, I’m back to school after a week of holidays, its the usual boring life really, but there is enough stuff to do to keep me occupied so I’m pretty sure I will have my hands full of work soon enough again.
Thats it pretty much for now, Greetings to all of you, Coldbird.

The genesis competition started a few days ago, and entries are starting to come in. We’re getting impressive stuff. This plugin by Draan allows you to change the text of your XMB on the fly. There are many ways to use this plugin for customizing your XMB, but the main intended goal is to allow you to translate your XMB into a language that the PSP does not support by default. (For those who want to know, there are around 6800 languages in the world, and a PSP on OFW supports 12 languages, that is, less than 0.2% of the total…)
A major good point of this plugin is that it doesn’t require any specific theme, or rco manipulation. It is also theoretically compatible with any theme. It is very easy to use and I was able to get my PSP 1000 to display a polish XMB within a couple minutes.
As an example, Draan provides a Polish translation of the XMB (translation courtesy of krzychuuu and Erokesha) that you can play with. I’m sure some of you will start to add more languages to this awesome homebrew… or maybe just start to have fun and replace bits of your XMB here and there.

Here is a new contestant for the Genesis Competition, a plugin manager for Homebrew Enablers (compatible with TN Hen and Hen Pro) by 5h4d0w, which is very useful (especially if you’re lost with the plugins system on some recent Homebrew enablers). To quote the author himself:
Features
Works on 6.20 TN (?) and 6.35 PRO (which don’t have recovery menus)
You can enable and disable plugins without a computer.
Can add, edit, remove, toggle, and move plugins in all three .txt files.
You can revert your changes by pressing [SELECT].
Gives the option to auto-exit from the app once you save your changes.
Allows you to decide which options are available (by editing the config).
(example: you give a friend your PSP for a while but don’t want him messing with your plugins, so you disable what you don’t want him to do.)
Nice pop-up menu.
Can be “themed” (by editing the config).
Will strip-out any empty lines in your text files, making them look cleaner.

 To celebrate the upcoming Ridge Racer 3D on 3DS and Ridge Racer Unbounded on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, Namco Bandai is digging into its catalog and giving a classic Ridge Racera second lap around the track. Ridge Racer Type 4, originally released in North America in 1999, will be available on the PlayStation Store next month, playable on both PSP and PS3.
Unfortunately for those of you who want the true Ridge Racer Type 4 experience, neither the PS3 nor PSP will allow you to connect your JogCon controller. You won't be able to have the realistic feeling of driving a car using a small dial.

Here we go again. Now that Sony's officially revealed the PlayStation phone and PSP 2, of course the rumour mill finds something else to grind its way through, and this time it's a PlayStation tablet.
According to Engadget, citing "two highly trusted and independent sources", Sony is currently working on a PlayStation-certified tablet to go up against iPad and Samsung's offerings later this year.
Codenamed 'S1', it'll apparently be an Android 3.0-powered device with a 9.4 inch capacitive touch screen panel at 1,280 x 800 pixels.
The site says the device will be PlayStation certified - like the 'Xperia Play' Playstation Phone - meaning access to the PlayStation Suite and all its gaming offerings. It'll also be able to play PSone games and will come with one PSone title pre-installed. This comes in addition to compatibility to Sony's Qriosity and video on demand services, Sony Music and ebook offerings.
The tablet also apparently has a somewhat strange design, ditching the typically flat shape for a bulging curvature on one side of the machine, which is said to resemble "an open paperback stuffed into the back pocket, or a magazine folded backward upon itself such that only a single page is visible to read".
This bulge will house the battery, which shifts the weight to one side of the unit where users will hold it, apparently making it easier to hold than an iPad.
Front and rear-facing cameras are included, a Tegra 2 processor for those of you who knows what that is, and a USB port for memory sticks and whatnot.
All that's said to be coming for a price of $599, and is targeting a September release. We'll see. More info through the link.

It appears that Sony has taken PSN offline as of now at around 7pm GMT for maintenance. Most likely this is work to increase the security of the network in the effort to stop folks using PS3 consoles with custom firmware logging on. We'll see what happens next when it comes back up again soon.
EDIT: It seems it's online at the moment now....
EDIT 2: As of 11pm GMT it's now back up. Actually it seemed it was up before, perhaps it was certain sections of PSN that went down, I don't know.

Any PlayStation 3 user found to be running "unauthorised or pirated software" will be barred from accessing PlayStation Network or Qriocity, Sony has warned.
A statement published today on the PlayStation Blog advised anyone using the recent GeoHot hack to immediately stop doing so, remove any relevant devices from their system and delete all pirated software.
The full statement read:
"Unauthorised circumvention devices for the PlayStation 3 system have been recently released by hackers.
"These devices permit the use of unauthorized or pirated software. Use of such devices or software violates the terms of the "System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation 3 System" and the "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStation Network/Qriocity and its Community Code of Conduct provisions.
"Violation of the System Software Licence Agreement for the PlayStation 3 System invalidates the consumer guarantee for that system. In addition, copying or playing pirated software is a violation of International Copyright Laws.
"Consumers using circumvention devices or running unauthorized or pirated software will have access to the PlayStation Network and access to Qriocity services through PlayStation 3 System terminated permanently.
"To avoid this, consumers must immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorised or pirated software from their PlayStation 3 systems."
Blog manager James Gallagher then jumped in to temper the chilly legal speak.
"By identifying PlayStation 3 systems that breach our guidelines and terminating their ability to connect to PlayStation Network, we are protecting our business and preserving the honest gameplay experiences that you expect and deserve.
"Rest assured, this message does not apply to the overwhelming majority of our users who enjoy the world of entertainment PlayStation 3 has to offer without breaching the guidelines detailed above, and we urge you to continue doing so without fear."

Sony is hoping you'll find its latest hardware bundle a killer deal. It's at least a Killzone deal -- the $300 package includes a 160GB PS3 console and a copy of its latest sci-fi FPS,Killzone 3. Considering that this PS3 model usually costs the same price by itself, it'stechnically a $60 savings. Y'know, if you don't have a PS3 and want Guerilla Games' new shooter.
If you're in that camp, visit your store of choice on February 22 -- the same day Killzone 3hits shelves -- since that's when the pack goes on sale.

news via http://ps3.gx-mod.com/modules/news/a...p?storyid=2617
Squarepusher proposes a new version of his port of Snes9x (SNES emulator) PS3 (FW 1.92 + / FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55).
New / fixed:
- New HD version: all games run at the highest resolution of SNES (512x448 interlaced mode). Test it with the shader enabled (4xSoft) to enhance the beauty of the game. The 2 modes, progressive (1080p/720p/480p/576p) and interlaced (480i/576i/1080i) run. Try the interlaced mode for best results.
- 4xSoft combined with the HD version greatly improves the pseudo transparency with high resolution in Kirby's Dreamland 3.
- Added option Triple Buffering. Enabled by default. Performance graphics / shader are significantly improved. It is possible that this option causes the imput lag.
- USB Mouse / Bluetooth can now be used for games requiring Mouse / Super Scope.
- Primal Rage works again.
Squarepusher finally indicates that the function Netplay should be incorporated into the next version.

We've heard plenty of numbers regarding Sony's Xperia Play launch games, but few details about what each of its 20 supporting publishers have planned. Gameloft has cleared the air and filled 10 of the potential 50 launch game spots. Beyond Asphalt 6: Adrenaline and Star Battalion, you'll see Assassin's Creed, UNO, Let's Golf! 2, Spider-Man: Total Mayhem,Modern Combat: Black Pegasus, Real Football 2011, Brothers in Arms 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction at launch on March 29.
Trailers for the two packed-in games, Asphalt and Star Battalion can be found after the break, both of which were briefly shown during Sony's (leaked) Superbowl commercial. None of the games have been priced yet.

Killzone 3 climaxes with the door left tantalisingly open for further adventures – and Guerrilla Games has confirmed that there's "ample opportunity" for a fourth instalment of the spectacular shooter series.
"There's still a lot of room in the Killzone universe to expand and to do new stories," senior producer Steven ter Heide told Eurogamer TV.
"We want to leave ourselves open like [the ending of Killzone 3] because Killzone's not going to go away anytime soon."
Guerrilla MD Hermen Hulst added that the studio had far from exhausted ideas for future games to work within "the mythic arc for the entire franchise".
He explained: "We've had our Pearl Harbour moment, our D-Day moment, but there are so many different types of war, different kinds of conflicts that have originated from different reasonings, from a different rationale."
In the meantime, Killzone is coming to the recently revealed NGP, with Sony Cambridge rather than Guerrilla on development duties. Will there be any cross-platform functionality? Hulst refused to be drawn, stating: "What can I say? I can say it's too early to talk about that."
Asked if there was anything the studio wasn't able to include in Killzone 3 – which scored an impressive eight in its Eurogamer review - Hulst revealed: "Maybe online co-op – but that was a conscious choice. We wanted to do one co-op mode very well instead of spreading ourselves thin in that regard. That's the way life goes."
Killzone 3 is out on 25th February.

Namco has confirmed that PSone classic, Ridge Racer 4, is set for release on the PlayStation Network for play on PSP and PS3 next month.
Ridge Racer 4 is considered by some to be the best entries in the entire series, and one of the best games on the first PlayStation console.
"Released in 1999 in Europe and North America, Ridge Racer Type 4 is a legend of arcade-style drift racing including 48 cars, eight tracks, legendary soundtrack, two-player split-screen and...... Reiko Nagase," says Namco.
The release date sits at a vague 'March' for now but we don't mind because it'll be well worth the wait. Or maybe you'll be too busy with the new Ridge Racer 3D on 3DS, which looks awesome.
While you're at it Namco, get Soul Blade on the go please.

Business unit Union to port games across; Unity Engine update inbound
Unity will use its content delivery service, Union, to allow developers to port games onto Sony Ericsson‘s new PlayStation Phone.
Yesterday Sony revealed it had struck a partnership with Unity, creators of the hugely popular 3D game engine, to provide a stream on new games on the Xperia Play smartphone.
That stream of content will be channelled via Union, the engine maker’s business unit that aims to syndicate any single game across a wide range of devices.
Unity typically takes a twenty per cent revenue cut from games ported via Union.
In return, Sony Ericsson has pledged to “prominently feature” Union games on the Xperia Play through its games recommender application.
By opting in to the Union scheme, Unity developers will have their game evaluated by the engine vendor to see if the project can be ported to a whole range of other platforms.
Unity will build a profile of the developer/studio, and with its industry links will pitch the projects to a number of publishers and digital portal owners.
By making it free for developers to opt-in, Unity hopes its users will open up access to a greater number of revenue streams.
Via a customised API, Unity has already ported three key games to the Xperia Play. Racer by Luma Arcade, Guerilla Bob by Angry Mob Studios and AirAttack HD by Art in Games have all been optimised for the Xperia Play.
Unity will also pre-integrate and optimise its engine for Xperia Play, and will allow developers to build for the platform, via an engine update, within months.
“Sony Ericsson has a beautiful, ground-breaking gaming smartphone on its hands with the Xperia Play,” said Brett Seyler, General Manager of Union.
“Through our partnership with Sony Ericsson and Union, we look forward to working with our developers to deliver mind-blowing gaming experiences for consumers.

Details about Sony's next-gen portable Playstation, the NGP, have been scarce since we spoke with SCEA President-CEO Jack Tretton about the new device. However, in an interview in the forthcoming issue of Edge, Shuhei Yoshida --who happens to be president of SCEA Worldwide Studios -- revealed a few more tidbits about Sony's NGP strategy (alas, still no official price). Apparently, the PSP will stick around even after NGP's release because of high demand for the older handheld, not to mention a lower price. For those of you concerned about a dearth of titles upon the NGP's debut -- a la the PS3 -- fear not, as Yoshida stated that porting PS3 games was a goal from the very beginning and the process will be simple (relatively speaking, of course). Combine that with a push to make the NGP's development environment "as easy as possible," and we'll hopefully see plenty of available titles upon the device's release. Oh yeah, Yoshida-san also said that NGP is just the console's codename, and the real name will be announced later this year -- PSP2 just rolls off the tongue, now doesn't it?
