Welcome to another PSP2 rumour. This one comes courtesy of Bright Side of News, who also brought us the nVidia DSi rumour last week. BSN believe Sony began working on PSP2 in 2008 and have contracted Imagine Technologies to to implement their PowerVR SGX543 chip in a new PSP revision scheduled for release in 2010. After a few paragraphs of technical mumbo-jumbo, they speculate on the nature of the device:
After analyzing the performance at hand, it is no wonder that Sony chose to go with PowerVR for the next-generation PlayStation Portable. While the exact details of the SoC are still in question, our take is that Sony could go with quad-core setup at 400MHz [8GPixel/s], paired with a dual-core CPU based on ARM Cortex architecture. This would put Sony direct in line against Tegra-powered Nintendo DS2, PowerVR-based Apple’s iPhone 4G and Palm Pre2.
They conclude by saying they are confident the new PSP will launch within the next 12 months, although they can’t say when in order to protect their source. Then they provide a handy list that shows all the companies using ARM processors for their portable hardware in 2010:
Apple iPhone 3G s / 4G = ARM Cortex + PowerVR SGX HTC = ARM Cortex + PowerVR Microsoft Zune HD = ARM11 + GeForce 6 Nintendo DS2 = ARM Cortex + GeForce 9 Nokia platform = ARM11 only Palm Pre 2 = ARM Cortex + PowerVR SGX RIM BlackBerry = ARM9 only Samsung = ARM Cortex + PowerVR SGX Sony PSP2 = ARM ? + PowerVR SGX
Food for thought:
1. Is PSP2 the same as PSP-4000? I honestly can’t tell anymore. Rumour has it, though, that PSP-4000 will feature the triumphant (?) return of UMDs. So many rumours!
2. Is PSP-4000 the same as PSP Phone? Why in God’s name would a phone feature a UMD drive? Perhaps they are two different SKUs?

Latest Call of Duty becomes the first in the series to get an 18 certificate from the BBFC
The BBFC has confirmed that it has granted Activision’s upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 an 18 certificate – making it in the first in the series to receive the highest age restriction.
All previous titles in the series have been rated at either BBFC 18 or PEGI 16+. And considering the gratuitous flesh-burning and execution scenes seen in the last game, World at War, the violence level in the new title must be quite extreme.
There isn’t much in the way of information in the BBFC’s ruling, though it notes that the game contains around 40 minutes of cut scenes. The rating was arrived at based on 45 minutes of in-game footage.
Some media outlets have also noted that the certificate refers to the game simply as Modern Warfare 2, with no mention of Call of Duty – reigniting the long-running debate.

Telltale Games' CEO Dan Connors has told GamesIndustry.biz he's "very impressed" with the step Sony has taken towards a digital future with PSPgo.
"I think kudos to Sony for continuing to push the envelope," he said. "You look at the number of games that are selling on the iPhone and it's a pretty safe idea for them.
"I'm very impressed with the step that they're taking and as we continue to move towards handhelds, it's certainly going to be part of our plan."
Speaking further about the digital distribution model, Connors acknowledged that while his own company has successfully built a business around releasing episodic, digital games, it's not as straightforward for the big publishers to transition to the model.
"When Telltale started we set out to be an episodic company - we set out to build from the ground up to be episodic.
"I think for other companies that have been around and have been in the retail ecosystem for a long time, it's a major change in thought process and production process and business mindset. And if you're going down one road and you're keeping your business going from one business model, making a dramatic shift in that business model is a huge step to take."
Of the companies that are currently exploring the route of episodic releaseson console, Lionhead is perhaps the most prominent, having recently made Fable II available for download in episodes. However, Connors believes there are drawbacks to how Lionhead has chosen to release the game with the first episode being made available for free.
"The first one satisfies the need for the product and when it comes time to sell the second one, they've already had enough Fable," he said. "Unless they can make something really compelling in the story to move people to the next one, then they run into the problem of converting them into paying customers."
Connors also revealed he believes the Wii "has really rocked things", particularly in changing the type of gameplay experience people expect to be delivered and gaming's demographic.
Between 2000 and 2004 games "stagnated", he said. "They seemed to be really trending towards just serving a specific audience and demographic."
"You started to see more and more shooters and driving games and sports games, and other games weren't being explored."
However between the Wii and the release of games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, "[they] have really changed the face of things," said Connors.
And in the future he sees the next big step coming from increased connectivity between social networks, handheld devices and core games.
"I think that's going to be a very interesting area where people are going to start moving to where there's going to be some type of game that's going to be able to connect people, through multiple ways, through their Facebook account and through their iPhone and however people want to do it. I can't say what it will be, but I think it's going to be an exciting area."

Via : RetroEmu
So I have been working on this for a bit tonight (I am really sick atm  )
However I did feel well enough to at least get out of bed for a few hours and wrap up Snes9X Euphoria for a release.
It is based off the last version of Snes9xTyl by rukka.
My main objective for this version was speed. A lot more can still be done to optimize the emulator and get more speed, but for now (given my health) this will have to do 
The only game I have tested with my version is Kirby Super Star, which I know had terrible FPS with other Snes9X releases (usually < 30Fps)
With my build, using the following settings, Kirby Super Star runs @ a minimum of 44Fps and a max of 60fps with the usual fps being 50fps.
Settings :
Renderer : PSP Accelerated
FrameSkip : 3
This does not generate a jerky experience, it finally feels playable
Other testing :
Donkey Kong Country : Same settings as above :
Min FPS : 58
Max FPS : 60
The speedups should be global, every game should be a lot faster now
Future :
I plan on improving speed more, improving stability and applying the changes from Snes9X1.51 to Snes9X euphoria also (which is running off the 1.42 code base)
I hope you enjoy this release and if you have any bugs please post them in the : Snes9X Euphoria - Official Forum
There seems to be some graphical bugs in the menus in Kirby Super Star (and maybe other games), these will be fixed in later revisions.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy the release

PSPKVM is a Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) CLDC/MIDP Emulator for the Sony PSP.
Quote:
Multilingual support demonstration captures:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/psp...lDemonstration
PSPKVM Running Opera Mini:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/psp...ScreenCaptures
Versions:
PSPKVM Test Builds ¶
There are currently a few ´unofficial´ or test builds up, for testing various features.
(Note: these are generally in .tgz format--or gzipped tarballs. Notes on handling these, if you´re new to them, are here.)
Warning: known critical bug in test packages--upgrade to build 10 ¶
There is a known bug in some of the test packages which can cause corruption of your folder store in the AMS. To avoid this bug do not remove marked midlets. After doing this and doing a subsequent ´move´ operation, you will not be able to start your VM.
The bug affects all test packages prior to test build 10 which have the AMS with the folder system and the ´mark´ commands in the menus. Build 10 has the fix for the bug and recovery code allowing you to start again if the store is already corrupted. We strongly suggest you upgrade to this package.
If you have not yet upgraded, and you inadvertently do mark a midlet and then remove it, and haven´t yet performed a move operation, you may still evade this problem by either (a) using the ´Unmark all´ command or (b) just shutting down the AMS. Do not attempt to perform a move before doing so.
0.5.4 Test 10 (Uploaded Oct. 15, 2009) ¶
Changes in this build -- summary ¶
* Bugfix: ´zombie midlet´ bug in which marked, removed midlets would reappear on a subsequent move has been fixed. Loading code has also been modified to allow loading of the folder system in the AMS even after a crash due to this bug. If you got locked out of your VM because of this, using this build will let you back in.
* Bugfix: missing utility/symbols file no longer brings down the VM when opening virtual keyboards using it.
* Bugfix: unused menu items removed from Danzeff board.
Build 10 is otherwise identical to build 9.
0.5.4 Test 9 (Uploaded Oct. 15, 2009) ¶
Changes in this build -- summary ¶
X/O key use can be switched to ´Western´ standard system-wide, virtual keyboard fixes/optimizations.
Changes in this build -- enhancements ¶
* The X/O keys are now fully switchable system-wide, for Western-style accept/cancel use. Use the VM Configuration midlet / Keymap settings menu to set these keys. The settings take effect immediately after you exit the configuration midlet.
Note that for midlets whose keymaps or device settings you´ve customized, you´ll have to set the accept key yourself in the Device Settings screen if you wish them to change too (and if you haven´t changed them already). Set ´Select´ to ´Cross´ and ´Num0´ to ´Circle´ to emulate the default Western layout, in this case. Midlets whose device settings you have not customized will use the default ones, and so will pick up the change without additional tweaking.
Note also that the old com.pspkvm.acceptcross setting for native dialogs is gone. The setting in the VM config midlet will affect these dialogs, the AMS, and the default keymap setting. Set it to ´Western´ to use X=accept, to ´Eastern´ to use O=accept.
* Keystroke handling in the Danzeff board has been tightened for faster response.
* The ´smart display´ feature in the semichordal and Danzeff boards, wherein the board displays move to stay out of your way when you´re typing, has been optimized and streamlined.
* Smart display in the semichordal board now places the small layout correctly.
* The semichordal board´s large display has been greatly reduced in size, and its appearance brought more into line with the Danzeff display. Status display for the live keymap has also been added (Cyrillic/Greek/Roman).
* The Danzeff board now has a status bar which displays selection state.
* The diacritics (accents) deadkey glyphs for the semichordal display have been modified to make them easier to read.
Changes in this build -- bugfixes ¶
* smart display-capable boards now move properly on all key entries.
* the Danzeff board now displays correctly when the system is using the internal font.
* thread shutdown for the Danzeff board´s analog stick monitor has been fixed; threads previously remained around when the board was absent. They now start when the board appears, and exit when the board disappears.
* prevented all virtual boards from crashing constrained fields (numerical, URL, etc.) due to pasting in of text containing constrained characters. Internal interfaces now sift input correctly.
* renamed utility.ttf to utility.sym so people stop assuming they can just delete it.
Notes on upgrading from these packages ¶
If you´re upgrading from a recent test build, and wish to preserve your settings (set in the .ini and the in-GUI config system), do not overwrite the pspkvm.ini and vmsettings.cfg files in your pspkvm directory with those from the package. Your system should run fine, and this will preserve your previous settings.
Note re pspkvm.prx file ¶
Previous test releases inadvertently included a ´pspkvm.prx´ file in the package. If you´ve copied this to your console, it can be removed from the install directory with no ill effects.

With this week's release of Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog's Evan Wells is likely finding it difficult to catch his breath while being buried in praise -- praise which is most certainly deserved. In an interview with VG247, Wells offers his opinion on the impact of motion controls on the future of gaming and he even rolls his sleeves up and wades into the console wars, addressing the always present question of platform superiority.
In regards to motion controls, Wells doesn't expect the new tech promised to "supplant the traditional gaming controller any time in the near future," citing that there are just too many games that benefit from traditional controllers. He says these games "would lose something significant" when redesigned for a motion control experience, painting a picture of a future where these new motion-based titles are offered next to more traditional experiences.
As for comments that Uncharted 2 could never work on the Xbox 360, Wells stresses that a platform does not dictate a game's worth and "the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it's on the Xbox or PS3." He says that great "programmers and great artists are going to make a great game" and we all know Uncharted 2 certainly had both in spades. In the end, it's not like the Xbox 360 would benefit from having Uncharted 2, anyway. We all know two identical entities can't occupy the same space at the same time.
