Chilly Willy posted a news update for the N64 Emu for PSP:
Stupidly huge update committed to svn.
Updated:
- Added lookup table to the fragment cache lookup function. The original code only checked if the address to be looked up was the same as the last one to be looked up. Otherwise it just went through the entire list of fragments looking for the address. I added a 256 entry table using a hash on the address to help speed this up. Now if Howard can profile this for me, we can see if it was a waste or not.
- Cleaned up the prefs a little since the ROM prefs in particular had the descriptions overlapping the element list. I also changed the audio setting so that you can select synchronous or asynchronous processing of the audio. Synchronous is the old method where everything is done by the main CPU. There may be times when that is better, so now you can select it. So the three audio selections are Disabled, Asynchronous, and Synchronous.
- Big update to the asynchronous audio. Howard and I had been doing a semi-polled method of waiting for the MediaEngine before terminating the RSP task. I made the CPU AddEvent thread-safe so that instead we can just do a single AddEvent when the ME is done. This seems to be better. There are still some roms that don't work (well or at all) with asynchronous audio, hence the ability above to switch to sync audio.
One note: Switching ROMs is apparently not quite clean yet. I've noticed a few ROMs where you have to quit the emulator and start fresh or the ROM won't work (properly or at all depending on the ROM). The two I've noted by name are Wave Race 64 and Zelda:OOT.

Uberjack has informed us that a new version of the Spectrum emulator is coming soon:
Carl Murray was kind enough to inform me that a release candidate of version 0.10 of Fuse, the popular Spectrum emulator, is now available for download. The PSP version will be released in due time; in the meantime, just glancing over the list of changes, here are some of the features that are likely to affect it:
New upd765 FDC emulation; all known +3 DSK images now work
Loading acceleration
Emulation core improvements
Reading from the 128K’s memory control port causes that byte to be written back to the port
Reading the AY data port on the +2A/+3 is the same as reading the register port
NMI causes Z80 to unHALT
Emulate C, H and P/V flags on repeated IO instructions
Fix crash when using Interface 1 on unoptimised Fuse builds
Miscellaneous improvements:
Loader detection now works with the Digital Integration loader
Revert Pentagon 128 to being the “base” machine without extra ROMs
Updated +3e ROMs
Allow DivIDE, custom ROMs, Kempston mouse status and Simple 8-bit IDE interface to be saved in snapshots
Better (but probably not perfect) TS2068 contention

The PSP is an exciting platform; being a handheld system that caters to the tastes of the hardcore gamer, it was always a novel creation. But now, with the launch of Go!View expanding the Go! Services for the PSP, SCEE is leaving UK owners of their handheld system little to want for.
For those who are unfamiliar, Go!View is the video download service powered by Sky for the PSP. The service is currently only available in the UK, Ireland and France (the latter through partnership with Canal Plus). In asking SCEE’s Carly Byron about a possible international expansion of the service, she reported “no current plans to role the GO!VIEW brand out in other territories”, so UK residents can enjoy taking rare entertainment-related precedence, at least for the moment.
The service offers three subscription packs; entertainment, sports, and comedy, costing £5, £8 or £10 per month for one, two or three packs respectively. There is also a pay-as-you-view option for movies and a limited number of TV shows, details of which can be found on the official site where downloadable content is updated on a daily basis.
However, a potential concern for Go!View is that it could lose some merit once the PlayStation Network video download service is launched in the UK and Europe next year, with it allowing content transfer from the PS3 to the PSP, although notably not content recorded through the PS3’s PlayTV peripheral. However, SCEE insists that the sheer amount of content that Go!View offers will keep the interest of customers. Only time will tell.
There are alternative services to Go!View that exist for viewers, such as Apple’s video iPods. However, Go!View may well appeal to PSP owners due to its platform specification and the diversity of content on offer alone. And whilst it may seem somewhat ironic that this portable service has itself an almost exclusive existence within a region renowned for its conservative in-door activities, it is a massive push to the PSP by Sony towards a multimedia endpoint.

"No Plans Watch" returns today after a disappointingly long absence, just in time to bring you these comments from Sony Computer Entertainment America. See, online mag D-Pad posted a slew of PS3 rumours the other day, most promising among them word that the PS3 would be getting "more competitive" in terms of pricing from March 2009 onwards. Well, SCEA are pouring cold water on the rumour, issuing a statement that says - wait for it - "There are no plans for a price reduction on PS3 in March 09, and anything reported on or discussed otherwise is purely rumor or speculation". Imagine that. No plans! Not a single plan.

Speaking with MTV, Sony's John Koller has revealed that PSP piracy - long the source of Sony's wrath when it comes to the handheld - is on the decline.
We’ve made really no secret [that there] certainly has been some piracy on the PSP. We’ve seen that as a significant issue — it’s trending down right now, we’ve seen the piracy not be as such prevalent in the last month to two months. But it has been a problem for us.
It probably helps there hasn't been anything worth pirating on the PSP in the last month or two (to twelve?) months, but hey, let's not rain on Sony's parade.

Saucer-eyed space teenager news now, with a quick note from Square Enix announcing a delay for Star Ocean: Second Evolution. Originally scheduled for North American release on Jan. 6th, the remastered role-playing classic will now ship to eager PSP owners on Jan. 20th.
We've contacted Square Enix to find out why the date was changed, but we're not expecting a very interesting response. Like, "We woke up this morning and just hated the main character's hair."

To curb the adrenaline rush that is the PS3 firmware update, we wanted to let you know ahead of time that version 2.53 will be released tomorrow and it's not a huge deal. All it will add is full screen Adobe Flash support to the PS3 web browser—which would be a fantastic update if we ever browsed the web on our PS3.

For those of you plugging your ears whilst humming along in hopes of this whole 3D revolution fading away, we've got a rude awakening headed your way. Just days after hearing that the HDMI specification could be updated to better handle stereoscopic 3D content, along comes word that Panasonic has submitted a proposal to the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) for an official BD standard to store 3D imagery formed of "left / right-eye two-channel Full HD images." Panny reportedly made the move early in order avoid a format war, but really, it's just looking to cash in on royalties for the next decade five years or less. It's no secret that movie studios are dead set on moving forward with 3D production -- might as well be ready on the other end, right?

Guerrilla Games has told Eurogamer that the semi-public beta for Killzone 2 will draw to a close this Sunday.
This will be the third and final testing phase for the Dutch developer, who'll be tweaking features such as the Revive ability and Shotgun range as a result of community feedback.
Unfortunately, Guerrilla was unable to share plans for a demo prior to Killzone 2's February 2009 release. The developer also told us DLC was planned post-release, but couldn't say what exactly it will be.
Killzone 2 turned many heads back at the Eurogamer Expo for lavish visuals and lots of noisy gunfights. And, thankfully, Guerrilla is pouring as much effort into the multiplayer side of the game, which we gave a good seeing to recently.

Capcom has confirmed that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has been delayed for the European PSN. There is currently no official release date for the title in the region and no explanation was given for the hold up.
North America is still expected to get the title today with its special Tuesday edition of the PSN update (due to the Thanksgiving holiday). European Xbox 360 owners should still be able to pick up the game when it launches on XBLA tomorrow.

Sony is laughing in the face of economic recession by launching a new PlayStation credit card in the US.
As reported on the PS blog, using the card will earn reward points to spend on PlayStation and Sony products.
Plus, those registering for one before 31st December will save USD 150 (GBP 100 / EUR 115) on the price of a PS3.
Not a bad "savings" for our American friends this "holidays", then. No word yet on whether Sony has any plans to launch something similar in Europe, but we'll keep you posted.

Seems the main hacker in the PSP Scene is knarked at someone :P
Ok, I want to clear this up now, ONCE and for all, as I'm tired of certain sites that don't stop blaming and creating paranoid horror stories about "M33 violating privacy" just because they have no other news.
Let's begin with the reason. Why does M33 connect to dark-alex.org when going to the PSN? This was not planned, it wasn't done on purpose. It is not a "feature", it is a side effect of the patch that allows M33 update, a bug if you want to call it that way.
Before 5.00, sony network update checked updates in a module called update_plugin.prx, which was patched by M33 when the M33 update feature is on.
Since 5.00, the module that makes these checks is called libupdown.prx (in kd folder).
This module is a library and it is used by other modules: the one responsable of the network update, and the one responsable of signing in the psn store.
My error was not to realize that libupdown.prx was used for psn store too. So when going to the PSN, this module check if latest version is installed by going to the Sony server, but M33 thinks that it is using network update, and if M33 update feature is on, it redirects Sony server to dark-alex.org ones to check if there is a m33 update.
In M33-3 I patched the check, the comparison of versions, but I didn't kill the connection, that's why it will still connect.
The only thing sended from psp to server side is a http request to the following file:
http://updates.dark-alex.org/updatelist.txt
There is no more. And there is no way that the server can distinguish between the psp asking for that file from network update or when going to PSN, although it can be safely asummed that most connections will be when going to the PSN.
What is done is done, and we aproached this bug to see stadistical data in the server side (normal stadistical data, present in most servers), with the educational and general purpose of seeing how many psp with cfw there are (not exactly though, as not everyone will go to psn or even have a wifi connection), and being able to refute to those saying that the scene has killed the psp.
The numbers were not impressive, it shows clearly that the scene is not a threat to Sony, and that if the psp is dying the only responsables are Sony, and the companies that prefer to make a cheap to produce ds game instead of an expensive psp one. Neither scene nor M33 can be blamed by their faults.
As the bug it is, it will be patched in next version, whenever it is out.

Sony's PlayStation 3 will be subject to a significant price cut, work on Uncharted 2 is well under way and LittleBigPlanet is coming to the PSP – that's all according to a supposed leak from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's annual staff briefing.
D-Pad is holding details of the leak, citing an anonymous source who was in attendance at the London event. SCEE President David Reeves reportedly took to the stage and revealed the PlayStation 3 will have a new, more competitive price tag from March 2009 onwards, and was proceeded by a series of blockbuster announcements.
Both LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm were shown for the PlayStation Portable - work on LittleBigPlanet PSP has apparently been underway for some four months – and footage was shown for both.
Uncharted 2 was allegedly shown for the PS3 with a short 30 second trailer announcing the return of Nathan Drake, and finally footage was shown from God of War III. Although the contents of the leak are for now merely speculation and rumour, God of War's original designer David Jaffe recently spoke about seeing footage of Krato's debut PS3 outing, saying that it looked like 'a painting come to life'.
We've enquired with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe whether details of the leak hold any weight, and are expecting nothing beyond a refusal to comment on speculation and rumour.
