Uberjack posted this news:
The recent issue with fMSX 3.5.3 (fw 1.50 version) prompted me to rethink future support for 1.50/kxploit executables. One option was to regress to an earlier version of the library, dropping any of the adhoc functionality; another was to simply stop working on versions for 1.50.
I (grudgingly) decided to stop providing support for fw 1.50 - reasons for this being threefold - a) the ps2dev community recommends moving away from this firmware, as continuing support for it is getting more challenging (flash0 memory being one reason); b) running simple applications in kernel mode seems counter-intuitive, and c) it’s becoming exceedingly more difficult to cope with two distinct programming models.
The emulators that are currently up will probably be the last ones with support for firmware 1.50; all future emulators are likely to only run on firmware 2.00 and greater.

The lawyers behind the Grand Theft Auto Hot Coffee lawsuit say they are shocked by how few people have claimed for compensation over the game's hidden sexual content.
The suit, launched against Take-Two and Rockstar Games, enabled consumers who purchased Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to claim between $5 and $35 if they were offended by hidden sex scenes in the game. However, just 2,676 people made a claim, disappointing the lawyers who charged the game's publisher with defrauding buyers by failing to disclose the product's full content.
"Am I disappointed? Sure," said Seth Lesser, lead lawyer for the plaintiffs, reports the New York Times. "We can't guess as to why now, several years later, people care or don't care. The merits of the case were clear."
While Take-Two will have to pay out in the region of $30,000 to consumers who claimed for compensation and has also agreed to make an $860,000 charitable donation, the eleven law firms who launched the suit are reportedly seeking more than $1.3 million in fees, a sum that has drawn objections from some quarters.
The case could yet go to trial if the settlement is not approved by a federal judge.

Sony is currently working on a PSP-branded phone for the Christmas season of 2009, Japanese and Korean sources are claiming again.
The company is using the PSP as its model for the phone and intends to incorporate many of its key features into the new device.
Analysts speaking to Marketing Week also claimed that it would be "relatively easy" to convert as it already incorporates wi-fi.
The move would put Sony's relationship with Ericsson into jeopardy, but insiders are reporting that the relationship is already "frosty" at best. Probably because Ericsson bosses keep reading all these reports online about Sony making a PlayStation phone.
According to (yet another) insider, internal conversations have already confirmed that Sony would "never give its PlayStation branding" to the Sony Ericsson joint venture.
It's hardly confirmation, but it sounds more than just a rumour. Enough for us to consider not joining the iPhone cult, anyway.

Sucker Punch's upcoming sandbox superhero game, inFamous, is due out next year in PAL regions and Sony has some new screenshots to get you worked up about it.
They depict player-character Dylan wreaking havoc on the fictional Empire City, using his various zappy Palpatine powers to send cars flying into buses while hanging from a lamp-post. The scamp.
According to details released by Sony yesterday, and a recent cover feature in a US games magazine, inFamous begins with a massive explosion in Empire City and Dylan emerging from the rubble, crackling with electricity.
He quickly makes contact with his friend Zeke, and is encouraged to leg it in his direction before things in the city get any livelier. Off he goes, but despite manfully dodging falling girders and debris, whatever happened to him in the heart of the initial explosion overcomes him and dumps him in a coma for 15 days.
During those 15 days, things get a bit out of hand - with talk of martial law and uprisings and mysterious plagues and all sorts. When Dylan wakes up, coming to terms with his burgeoning electric superhero powers, the player has to decide whether to save the city of destroy it.
An openworld game by design, inFamous doesn't bother with weapons and car control for Dylan; instead it's all about charting a path down good or evil roads, with a "Karma" system governing the city's responses to your actions and their implications on the story and your abilities. You'll also battle "powerful, iconic villains".
Visually, as you can see from the screenshots, it's heading in a GTA IV/Crackdown/Saints Row kind of direction, although we're also told to expect cut-scenes inspired by the comic books that obviously inspired the superhero premise.
It all sounds quite interesting, and if you missed last year's E3 unveiling, you can check out that blurry trailer over on Eurogamer TV. At the time we'd been told to expect inFamous in 2008, but now Sony is saying 2009 - perhaps springtime. We're doubly excited because Sucker Punch made our beloved Sly Raccoon games.
We hope to see more of inFamous at E3 next month, so expect first-hand impressions sooner rather than later.

Sengoku Basara X is the collaboration between Capcom and Arc System Works. It takes the 3D hack and slash adventure title Sengoku Basara and converted it into a 2D fighter for the arcades. The PS2 game is then a powered up conversion of this 2D fighter with more fighting modes and features.
In its arcade predecessor, players pummel their opponents until their health bars depletes completely within a given time. They are allowed to call for support or launch special attacks once certain conditions are fulfilled.

Your fights determine the stylish points you will get and there are a number of ways to obtain high points. For certain fights, a number of gold coins will appear in the air in the form of the words “BAS” grab all these coins without taking damage from your opponents to get a high score.
In some circumstances you will be able to obtain titles, the rarer the titles you are awarded with or the more coins you can get, the better (and more stylish) a fighter you are.

New special offer from Play Asia:
Developed by the Korean company Studio 9, Pump It Up Exceed bears some striking resemblances with Konami's Bemani games, with more emphasis on free style and break dancing rhythms.
Although those familiar with the Bemani games will certainly have an extra edge, given the simple controls and concepts as well as fun elements, it will take no time before a total beginner becomes a veteran.
When the direction indicators overlap with the respective icons on top, press the right buttons in time and according to the rhythm.
Get consecutive beats correct to get a combo and perfect scores. Scores ranges from perfect to bad, to keep the game from ending before the song does, you have to keep your life bar from falling to zero by attaining good scores.
Use the points you earned to customize future games by buying new music pieces, dance steps, direction indicators etc in the store station.
The songs that make up the games are mostly Korean pop, but Studio 9 has assembled a group of musicians under the collective name of Banya to write songs specifically for the game. This portable rhythm game comes with a total of ninety seven songs.
Practice your rhythms and moves on the go with Pump It Up EXCEED on your Sony PSP™ to amaze your friends with your improvements next time when you visit the arcades with them.
Some of you may remember that Studio9's stylish rhythm game Pump It Up Exceed, has been featured as a bargain item a month ago along with Pump it Up Zero as a bundle pack. Due to popular demand, this game is now back and is sold at a bargain price of US$ 8.90.

via Computer and Video Games
It's being reported that a Sony rep has let slip at the GDC Paris event that God of War III will make its debut at E3 next month in Los Angeles.
According to a few different French sites the game's not likely to be playable at E3, but to be fair, it's not expected out before the back end of 2009 anyway, so that doesn't surprise us.
The only official mention of the game in recent months was an ad on the back of the manual for GoW: Chains of Olympus, saying that the game was "coming soon".
While no further details are available, we'll be hoping to see some in-game action though, rather than a load of CGI - preferably of Kratos going mental and stabbing a giant Cyclops in the eye with two rusty blades, before ripping his jaw off his face and using it to beat his mother to death.
We've contact Sony's UK office for clarification on what's actually been said at the Paris event and will update you accordingly.
