One of the “Exclusive Scoop” in this week’s Weekly Famitsu is news of Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam Vs Gundam, the 2 vs 2 robot fighting arcade game featuring Gundam from the various output of the franchise, being ported to the PSP. The game will include all the routes of the arcade with plenty of exclusive content for PSP. Among the new stuff are multiplayer support (4 players) through the ad-hoc mode, exclusive mechs, readjustment to existing mechs, players profile exchange, background music from the original source materials instead of the arcade version and a Media Install option not unlike Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G’s. However, there will be no Mission Mode. The release date in Japan is November.

Hold onto your limited edition Stealth UMD. It’s been a cruel summer for PlayStation Portable fans and it’s not going get any better between now and ‘09. Considering you can’t can’t walk three feet in Wal-Mart or two steps past a glittery-nailed ‘tween (txt me, Kelli!) without stumbling across one of Nintendo’s 70 million-unit moving DS, we recently noticed the more technologically talented of the two handhelds has had a less than stellar year when it comes to software.
Surefire blockbusters aside – and really, who can resist killer apps like Petz Saddle Club and the ever-popular My Spanish Coach– times are definitely tough for the little high-tech paperweight that could. Throw out the titles with “TBA” for a date and the schlock with a concrete delivery day and the current release projections show less than 30 unique PSP titles due before 2009, or fewer titles than the DS will see in the month of September alone. The release schedule might change but the scientific fact remains that saying My Little Pony Pinkie Pie’s Party five times will result in you actually growing a vagina.
For the record, the recently-announced PSP-3000 isn’t much consolation. What were looking for here is a little love– i.e. a decent frappin’ game– not a more glare-resistant screen, sharper colors and built-in microphone for whispering sweet nothings to your secretly closeted ex-roommate while playing hide-the-pigskin in Madden.
Which begs the question: What the hell happened to the darling of homebrew software enthusiasts and DVD junkies anyhow? Why, it seems like just two halcyon years ago we all thought Shigeru Miyamoto would soon be busking for yen in an Osaka railway station while Sir Howard Stringer snorted Colombian pure off a Brazilian supermodel’s taut ass to celebrate 15 digit PSP-fueled profits. Bummer. Determined to find out, we asked a few of the industry’s best and brightest.
“Simple… Sony over-engineered the PSP, and as a result, it’s become a no-man’s land,” explains Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter, in typically understated fashion. “The system’s caught in this grey area: You can’t make a title of PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 quality for it, but you can sell way more copies of simpler, less far-reaching games on the DS instead. It’s more expensive to develop for the system too: As a developer, you can make a $50,000 title for the iPhone, or pay $1 million for a PSP outing – which do you think goes over better?”

A long time ago, well two years ago, Lucasarts announced they were working on a next generation Indiana Jones game. The project has fallen into obscurity aside for a few murmurs that it still exists. Here’s something interesting and probably related, PEGI just rated Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings as a Nintendo DS and PSP game. Huh? I don’t remember Lucasarts working on an Indiana Jones game for either of those systems, but considering the length of development Lucasarts may have decided to play it safe and release their Indiana Jones game on as many consoles as possible.

Uberjack one of the PSP Scenes most active coders at this time discusses what many of us agree and that is the PSP3000 will be a real threat to homebrew, one must remember that to beat Piracy the knock on effect is that homebrew is also at risk.
Heres uberjacks post:
Odds are that you’ve probably heard about the new PSP-3000 model (colloquially called “PSP Brite”) that’s due to be released soon, and one that will replace the PSP-2000 series (”PSP Slim”). The new model will include a built-in microphone and a brighter, more responsive screen - an improvement that is almost negligible when one considers the improvements between “Slim” and “Phat” (PSP-1000 series).
Like many other developers and hobbyists, I suspect that there’s more to the system than what the press release lets on - I’m fairly certain that the new PSP model will be built differently to eliminate the extremely efficient “Pandora” hack. A recent dcemu thread discusses just that - probability of the elimination of PSP’s “hackability”, and raises some interesting points, among them “will this stop piracy?”. I’m fairly certain that the answer is “no” - and not just to piracy, but hacking in general. After all, the initial hacks of the PSP centered around badly implemented loading routines in the PSP’s image viewer and GTA: LCS, and as long as there are inquisitive people, there will be exploits to be found and security holes to be exploited. While I expect to see the end of Pandora, I doubt we’ve seen the end of buffer overflow exploits - hardware (and firmware) necessary to deter/elminate buffer overflow exploits would, in all likelihood, break backwards compatibility (not to mention prove too costly).
One thing that I believe is important to remember, however, is that Sony shouldn’t necessarily be chastised for this step. Piracy is an unfortunate side-effect of homebrew development - while I’m not going to venture a guess as to how much money the company is losing/has lost due to piracy, I’m fairly certain that it’s a considerable amount. For many, like myself, the PSP is a retrogamer’s dream come true - there’s no better way to waste hours on end than by playing Legend of Zelda, a port of Doom, or any of the large number of homebrew applications. For too many, however, it’s just a way to hoard modern games.
Sony has stated in the past that they’re aware of PSP’s homebrew community, and that their problem is not with homebrew, but piracy. While I have no reason to trust any particular large company (Enron, anyone?), I have no basis to doubt this fact in the current situation - if anything, homebrew development has helped Sony sell more units. At the same time, piracy hurts those who make the PSP into what it is - the makers of the PSP games. No PSP games means much fewer sales (I don’t think homebrew alone will carry the PSP); fewer sales means no motivation to support or manufacture the PSP.
Comments are welcome.

Uberjack posted this news:
In an earlier post, I noted that extended DSK support in the latest version of Fuse PSP does not function correctly. After some testing, it looks like extended DSK’s do work, but only outside ZIP archives - I tested this by loading Robocop 2, and it works fine. Extended DSK support is provided by libdsk, which does not support loading from binary data, and which will be replaced in a future release of Fuse.
Until the next version of Fuse comes along, please keep extended DSK files decompressed if you wish to use them with Fuse PSP. Note that not all DSK files use the extended format, though there’s no easy way to tell the difference between the standard and extended formats without examining the file’s header.

Sony has updated the PlayStation Store with The Last Guy for PS3 and the Warhawk: Operation Fallen Star add-on pack.
The Last Guy is a top-down game where players try and rescue civilians from a city overrun by monsters, and costs GBP 4.99. Look out for our review soon.
Operation Fallen Star, meanwhile, introduces jetpacks and ten new battlefields among other things, and goes for GBP 3.99.
Otherwise there's a demo of NHL 09 from EA (free, obviously), and Buzz! Junior Jungle Party for GBP 3.49, which is an add-on for Buzz! Quiz TV, as far as we can make out, presumably based on the PS2 release of the same name. It's billed as a "Game Pack" on the Store, but we're double-checking.
And of course if you still have time after all that, there's the usual collection of trailers (HAWX, Far Cry 2, Super Stardust HD tips vids) and a new, free graffiti theme, as well as a Pipe Mania demo for PSP owners.

It's harder to single out Nintendo for overlooking its "core audience" when you find out things like this. Speaking with GamesIndustry, Shuhei Yoshida, Sony's head of worldwide studios, revealed that the company chose to fund development of a virtual pet – EyePet – over a promising core audience action title, Eight Days.
When asked about the affect that canceling London Studio projects The Getaway 3 and Eight Days had on other titles, Yoshida responded, "There are so many things that we want to do, more than we can do with the resources. So when London Studio was looking at the early work on EyePet and the prototype of Eight Days, they knew they couldn't do all of them." So ... EyePet it was.
Granted, we don't know with any certainty that Eight Days was going to be any good, but an original action IP on a still very core audience console would seem like something worth investing more time in over a ... virtual pet.
Yohshida also said regarding the London Studio that, "There are even more things they're working on at early concept stage." Tip for the staff there: If you don't want your big games canned, don't mention your "pet" projects to Shuhei the next time he pops in for a visit.

Sony's Home application for the PlayStation 3 will launch in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan this autumn.
A closed beta test for the ambitious social networking software will begin in the region next month, with users invited to apply for the beta from August 29.
The service is expected to go live in other regions at roughly the same time this year, after failing to meet its initial launch period of last October.
Sony has maintained the launch of Home will be low key compared to blockbuster game releases. However, anticipation for the service is high, as it forms part of Sony's concentrated effort to capture online social gaming audiences on the PS3, along with the SingStar brand and forthcoming title LittleBigPlanet.

Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer there are no plans to release the new super-slim PS2 console in the UK.
The new model is slightly smaller and thinner than the traditional slimline and doesn't come with an AC adapter. As reported by Kotaku, it's just started appearing in American shops.
But according to SCE UK, that doesn't mean we'll be seeing it over here any time soon. "We won't be releasing the new model PS2 in the UK," a spokesperson stated.
Other parts of Europe are in luck, however. "It has launched in a few SCEE territories already," confirmed Mr Sony.

The third version of Nanodesktop Blind Assistant is on Visilab website.
You can download it here:
http://visilab.unime.it/~filippo/Bli...dAssistant.htm
I want to remember that Blind Assistant is a software for PSP that can
help the blind in their daily life.
The system can recognize the names and the positions of the people that
are in the room, the name of the place where the blind is and it can
read a text, written on a paper, using an OCR and the internal vocal
synthesis engine.
The changes consist of some fixes and optimizations:
Introduced BlindServer 1.1 engine (it has been totally redesigned)
Introduced /siftdebug option
New version of BAWCP protocol
Improved speed of face recognition
Introduced new cvhaarcascade file
Introduced trackbars for the probe area and the threshold of the face detector
New criterium for skipping the face recognizer results
Several bugs fixed
More efficient VFPU code for face recognition

Given that it's one of Namco Bandai's biggest game's so far this generation, it shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that a sequel is on the way for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. The latest issue of Famitsu has a first report on the title, which is known in its home territory as Gundam Musou 2.
Typical of a Gundam update, Gundam Musou 2 will feature new Mobile Suits and characters. Famitsu reveals that Gundam Char's Counter Attack will join the game, bringing with it the RX-93 v-Gundam. Also new to the game are fights with giant Mobile Armor units, which tower over your own units.
While releases for the first entry in the series were scattered about between platforms, Gundam Musou 2 will arrive on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PS2 simultaneously. The game is set for a Japanese release on December 4.
