Via psp.scenebeta.com.
Gladiator (GDT) has just released a very simple application. It will show some internal information about the PSP while listening to a pleasant song, but maybe the most important function is that Info Portable v2.0 will be able to detect if you own a PSP TA-088* (although the coder advises that he could not test this function).
Its in English and Spanish, and the SRC has been released (so everyone can learn with it). I must also say that this Homebrew takes part in the Scenery Beta 2008, a Homebrew competition.
*TA-088 is the PSP mobo which is supposed that we cannot use "Despertar del Cementerio". We dont know if this is 100% real yet, and we dont know if we will be able to execute Homebrew in those PSP, but Info Portable will detect that motherboard if those PSP can execute Homebrew.

News/release from Xart:
This project is an open source shell for the PSP that is at the moment is getting developed.
People like to customized things and for most users, they simply don't know how to do so, this project is aimed to change all that, it will allow a beginner to customize his or her PSP for the stuff they use on it
The concept of how the shell works is modular, it is simply made up of a collection of small homebrew apps passing a message to the shell and vice verser.
GLUE V1.0 "BUILD 0C000" is completed.
SHELL is very much in development stage, close to an Alpha release.
SHELL will be very customizable by any end user with no programming skills required.
One will be able to make fancy Menus and Sub-Menus for all his or her homebrew, ISOs "persinal backups", Emulators etc...
They will be a offical webpage for this Project that will include the source code for anyone that is into PSP Development.
Following this project will be OpenChoice Packs to show how one can customize the shell.
Credits so Far

News/release from Torch
This is a simple plugin I made a long time ago for my personal use. I just found the source code while going through some old stuff on my computer, so I thought I'd clean up the code a bit and release the plugin.
I realize that there are other plugins that feature similar functionality but I wrote my own because I wanted to be sure its coded optimally, as there are a few careless ways in which these functions can be improperly used (the point of this after all is to conserve battery life).
It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitrary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows operation of the PSP with the display turned off, to change volume, skip songs etc.
Usage:
Turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU. Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning off the hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. This is useful if you just need to adjust the volume, fast forward/rewind, or to skip to the next song, without unnecessarily turning on the display. To return to normal, just press the Screen button.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning on the hold switch, it will only lock the keypad like normal Hold mode. The display and CPU speed will not be changed, so that you can watch videos etc. with the keypad locked.
Installation:
You can install it in the seplugins folder, and make an entry in VSH.txt. Thus it will be active in the XMB. Its also possible to use it in games by adding it to GAME.txt, but some games may crash etc., if the CPU is underclocked to such a low value.
Optionally, its also possible to install it in your PSP's flash0 so that it will work without a memory card. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it after vshmain.prx.
Credits:
Thanks to adrahil for helping with preventing the suspend mode.
Changelog v2.62
----------------------------------
Fixed a bug where the Analog Up features would not respond after opening the Photo menu in the XMB. After you exit the Photo menu, just toggle the Hold switch once and the Analog Up features should work after that.

Me again 
I worked hard on this today to make up for letting everyone down last week (due to me messing with my operating system and wasting 2 days)
I am very happy with the end result, some things included in this release were not supposed to be even looked at until v5.0, but I just steamrollered though the "to do list" today I guess.
Lets run though the changes in this version :
Sound & Music :
Yes it is finally better. I would say about 95/100%. It is now the correct tempo, with little to no crackling in-game. Another thing that is fixed sound related is the enemy's voices. They are now the correct pitch and also finish there sentences now!.
Before they said : "Acht" now it's the correct "Achtung!". They also finish there dying sound effect correctly now too. This is a big fix and really improves the experience a lot.
Another fix is when pressing the "open door" key the sound used to crackle. This has been fixed in v4.8
Saving/Loading
New feature in this release is the ability to quick save & quick load in-game. Saves having to return to the menu all the time.
Hold "Start" and press the "L trigger" to save or Hold "Select" and press the "L trigger" to load.
The saving/loading is still slow, however I know how to fix the issue I just have not got round to doing it yet. It will definitely be in for version v4.9.
Graphics :
I have enabled Vsync in this version. It improves the game a lot. There is little to no "ghosting" in v4.8 as a result.
Controls :
The controls have finally been updated in v4.8, Dpad is now default for movement, to change to analog see below :
Here is the new mapping :
Weapons :
Yes, you can now finally change weapons in my Wolf3D port.
How to change ? Well it depends on whether your using analog or dpad. Whichever your using for movement, use that device to change weapons.
Cheats :
For those of you that like a helping hand, cheats support has now being added 
To activate cheats :
The game also seems more stable now. I think the crashes have stopped also, This has not being tested that long though. There has also been fixes to all the game loader bugs.
For all other fixes see changelog.
Changelog :
So that's it. Quite a major improvement overall. Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to explain everything properly to save myself being swamped with questions.
I would recommend upgrading to 4.01 M33-2 if you haven't already. The game seems the most stable on that firmware.
Thanks to Da1writer & Ashtr for continually finding bugs, and to Da1writer for making the excellent readme/faq that now comes bundled with each new release. Stuck, cant get it to work? Take a look at that!
Hope you all enjoy it :thumbup:
Source Included.

Sony Europe has told Eurogamer that all user-generated content in LittleBigPlanet will be free at launch.
The publisher was clarifying comments made by David Reeves to PS3 Fanboy. He said you will be able to make money by selling your LBP creations using an "iTunes meets eBay" system, and even teased that we may see someone become a millionaire off the back of it.
"SCEE and Media Molecule can guarantee that all consumer-generated content will be free at launch. We know how important this is to the LBP community and what we want most is for people to enjoy playing, creating and sharing their content," Sony told Eurogamer.
"Obviously, we're also excited about the future and David was talking about how user-generated content could potentially evolve in the long term. Any decisions that are taken to evolve LBP in the future, will include the community and focus purely on enhancing the user experience."
LittleBigPlanet was one of the stand-out successes at E3 last week; Tom dribbled and drooled over the game during his hands-on play test.
LittleBigPlanet is due out exclusively on PS3 this October.

Koei plans to offer the extended and standalone FES edition of Persona 3 here on 17th October.
This adds around 30 hours of extra content to the acclaimed PS2 role-playing game. Expect a whole new chapter, more Personas, cut-scenes, quests, some sort of weapon creation tool, a hard difficulty mode and the ability option to change your clothes. How thoughtful.
Saved games from Persona 3 will work in the FES edition, but there's no requirement to finish the original story before you're allowed access to the new bits.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 came out earlier this year and was hailed as one of the finest RPGs on the PS2, of which there are about a million.
Pop over to our Persona 3 review to find out more.
Alternatively, look in our Persona 3 FES gallery for an idea of what to expect.

Sony is still yet to reveal a top-secret game supposedly shown to the BBC earlier this year.
You may remember a BBC reporter claiming to have been shown a secret PS3 title that he said "could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion".
But this game, according to that same reporter, was not shown at last week's E3 expo. "MAG appeared - the massively multiplayer online FPS game," he says, but adds: "this was not the game I was referring to. It still hasn't been shown publicly."
Speculation originally linked the secret game to Eight Days - a now-cancelled title from Sony's London studio - but that wasn't it either.
"Some of you might be thinking the game is pure vapourware. But I promise you it's real," says the BBC reporter.
We'll be keeping an eye out at Leipzig next month then.

Sony's Kaz Hirai has said that the company is targeting PlayStation 3 sales figures of 150 million units during the console's lifecycle.
The PlayStation 2 has sold over 140 million units since it launched nine year's ago, and the original PlayStation hit 102 million units sold.
"It's not fun for me replicating the PS2 numbers. I've seen that movie already," said Hirai, speaking to the FT.com.
"I want to try to see if we can exceed the PS2 numbers after nine years, otherwise why are we in this business?"
Sales of the PlayStation 2 were 12.85 million in March, and the company expects to sell another 10 million by the end of the fiscal year.

Konami has admitted there are currently "no permanent solutions" to technical hiccups relating to the Metal Gear Online Gene Expansion.
That's according to information on the official game website, where the publisher apologised for any inconvenience caused.
"We regret to inform that the release of expansion pack Metal Gear Online Gene Expansion on 17th July 2008 was marred by major system related problems resulting in great inconveniences for all our customers," reads the statement.
"We have been taking numerous corrective measures since the problems initially started, but unfortunately there are no permanent solutions we can announce at the present moment."
For now, restrictions on which IP addresses can access the MGO Shop are still in place, but Konami is confident this will speed up waiting times. The company has no idea when the Reward Shop will re-open.
Still, Konami has finished refunding everyone who bought items from the MGO shop but never received them - so that's something.
