It's only fair to ask Nokia whether Sony's rumoured PlayStation phone is a threat to N-Gage, and Nokia games boss Jaakko Kaidesoja dealt with the issue head-on today, at an N-Gage press event in Lapland.
"I'm not scared about anybody," he said. "The real question is how do they [Sony Ericsson] do it? Can they create a link between the PSP games and a phone? Can they do the multiplayer and online stuff? We've been doing this for two years and it hasn't been easy."
In a candid briefing, Kaidesoja also addessed the issue of the N-Gage First Access being hacked to work on other handsets. You might think Nokia would be unhappy about it, but you'd be wrong.
"We knew people would crack it," says Kaidesoja. "Cracking a sisx file isn't that hard, so of course we expected it. And it's good to get feedback on the First Access application even from people with other handsets."
The UK is one of the top two or three countries in terms of people downloading the First Access application, apparently. Good work, fellow Brits!
As we reported last week, the full commercial launch of N-Gage is still set for the coming weeks. Kaidesoja says there'll be 6-8 games at launch, meaning there'll hopefully be two additional titles to the six already released for First Access.
That's if they make it through Nokia's certification process in time, though: "It may be that we launch with six titles, and then two more come the week after, and two more the week after that," he says.
The N82 and both N95 handsets will be next in line for the commercial launch, but bad news N73 owners: you're going to have to wait a while.
"We promised the N73 earlier, but we found some memory issues, as it has a lower memory spec than other devices," says Kaidesoja. "That gives some headaches, but we'll deal with that, and will release for the device during the second quarter."
Kaidesoja addressed head-on the issue of whether the launch titles from third-party publishers are ambitious enough – Tetris, Block Breaker Deluxe and World Series of Poker: Pro Challenge are hardly making the most of the platform, for all their charms.
"Whenever you have a new platform, you don't fully show its qualities," he says. "When you look at the EA stuff and Block Breaker Deluxe, it's not fully exploiting the SDK and all the capabilities it has to offer. But we are developing the SDK all the time, and during the second quarter we will see more innovative stuff."
So, will there be a dedicated N-Gage games handset? "There are no plans to release, but no plans not to release," said Kaidesoja, hedging his bets expertly.
"Broadening the device base is an obvious choice. We have tried with the N81 to have some ergonomics for gaming, and I don't think we are perfect yet. We haven't ruled it out, but we are not planning it either."
However, Nokia is working on making N-Gage games work with touchscreen handsets – Nokia will release several this year.
"We are working with the application to make it adaptable for the touchscreen environment," said Kaidesoja.
"There will need to be games that support touchscreens. They won't necessarily be there on day one [when the touchscreen handsets launch], since you have to have nine months development time, and it has to be in the SDK. But we will get there."

When SCEA released God of War II last year, the game's instruction manual teased the soon to be released PSP entry, God of War: Chains of Olympus. Now it's the PSP's turn to toy with your emotions, as the manual for the on-the-go Kratos quest fires back with a tease of the PlayStation 3 chapter. IGN has photographic evidence of the PS3 sequel teaser ad which opts not to put a release window on the thing, merely announcing that it's "coming soon."
Considering rumors are pointing to a 2009 ship date for God of War III and Sony has a habit of showing these games a year (or more) in advance, we'd say that if you want a Kratos fix in 2008, it's probably going to be on UMD.

News/release from the ScummVM Site:
ScummVM continues to leap forward in a leap year, and we are pleased to announce the next shiny bugfix release of the project.
As usual, it holds a number of improvements, it's more stable, and it should bring you even more fun than 0.11.0.
We fixed the digital iMUSE system (better COMI experience), King's Quest 4 bugs were squashed, and support for fanmade AGI games has been improved; Lure of the Temptress, Inherit the Earth and I Have no Mouth all work better since we fixed several crashes, lock-ups and all such buzzwords.
As a special bonus we are glad to announce the return of the BeOS port and the deeply missed Playstation 2 port.
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.
Heres whats new:
Ports:
- Revived the PS2 port.
- Revived the BeOS port.
SCUMM:
- Improvements for Digital iMUSE subsystem. This fixes several glitches in The Curse of Monkey Island.
- Fixes for cursors in HE games.
AGI:
- Fix for zombies in King's Quest 4.
- Fix for changing palettes in fanmade games using AGIPAL.
Lure:
- Fixed some conversation crashes in the German version.
- Fixed operation of the optional copy protection dialog in the German version.
- Added saving of conversation flags as to whether a particular conversation option had been previously selected or not.
- Fixed glitch that could cause transformation sparkle to happen a second time.
- Fixed behavior of Goewin when you rejoin her after meeting the dragon.
SAGA:
- Fix for rat maze bug in Inherit the Earth which made game not completable.
- Fixes for Inherit the Earth and I Have no Mouth game startup on a number of platforms.
- Reduced the number of simultaneous open files in I Have no Mouth, to allow it to run on platforms that can keep a limited amount of files open (e.g. on the PSP).
- Fixed graphics glitch in Inherit the Earth with simultaneous speech.
- Fixed palette glitch in Inherit the Earth when looking at the map while at the docks.

KOEI Entertainment Singapore Pte Ltd today announced that its inaugural production, Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online (English working title), has been launched in Japan on 29th February 2008. This is an all-new Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) offering players a chance to experience life during the historic 2nd and 3rd centuries of China's Han Dynasty.
KOEI was one of the first major global game developers to begin game development operations in Singapore. The epic adventure, Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online is KOEI Entertainment Singapore's debut title, and promises to be Singapore's first blockbuster in the interactive digital media industry.
"Singapore is a dynamic and vibrant city with a talented, highly-motivated and diverse workforce," said Mrs. Keiko Erikawa, the Founder & Chairman Emeritus of KOEI. "Singapore's positioning as a global media hub is coherent with our vision to provide exciting online content for the global markets."
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online is the first Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) which is developed in Singapore. Koei is a recognised leader in games and we are proud that Koei's Singapore team has contributed to the company's pioneering game development reputation. This is a landmark development which underscores Singapore's reputation as an Interactive & Digital Media capital, where creations are made for global consumption," said Mr Manohar Khiatani, Assistant Managing Director, Singapore Economic Development Board.
Since its inception KOEI Entertainment Singapore Pte Ltd has invested heavily into training the local workforce. It has also ignited the dreams of creative talent with a passion for developing games and created new types of job opportunities in the new digital media industry.
The highly-anticipated launch of Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online comes after successful customer trials in Japan. The game will be available initially in Japan, followed by localized launches in select territories around the world.
"KOEI's Romance of the Three Kingdoms series is a phenomenon that has captured the imaginations of gamers around the globe," said Mr. Kenji Matsubara, President and Chief Operating Officer of KOEI.

Time Baby V12f - MP3 Player
Hi Guys,
Here's another Time Baby program release that brngs a more updated mp3 player.
Time Baby is an unofficial program for the Sony PSP 1000 only.
Now I consider this a better interface implementation than iRshell itself.
Not sure how I want to handle the file highlighting yet, but you can see the start of it.
This is still not the last planned update, but here's what's new:
V12f - increased size of mp3 playlist file path buffers to fix overflow problem.
Thanks to Ahman for his PSP implementation of the GNU mp3 player.
For all of Time Baby V12 releases, I have handled the playlist myself.
Donate a 32Mb Memory Stick to see your nickname on the greetings screen!
Download from Rapidshare:

Cheers, Art.

We know, we're getting tired of Apple Blu-ray rumors as well -- they're right up there with refreshed Cinema Displays in terms of rumor persistence -- but until Steve and the gang actually shove a drive into a machine we're stuck with them. The latest says that Apple is actively pressing Sony for slot-loading BD-R drives but quality control issues are gumming up the plan. Reportedly, this latest ho-hum MacBook Pro refresh was to feature BD-R drives, but all Sony could muster up were Blu-ray / DVD±RW drives, which Apple refused. That seems a little odd, frankly -- now that the format war is over and the competition's already shipping mid-range laptops with slot-load BD-R drives, you'd think Apple would want to cash in that Blu-ray Disc Association membership card with whoever can supply the drives. As always, we'll see when we see -- it's gotta happen sometime, right?

We know that most of you haven't read an instruction manual since the days of Gyromite -- not that we can judge you. Aside from the occasional steamy Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, we try to avoid video game literature as well. Lucky for us, IGN recently cracked the narrow spine of the God of War: Chains of Olympus instruction manual and discovered this treat on the back cover -- an advertisement for a new God of War game for the PS3, presumably the third chapter in the series.
While the series' tremendous sales success and God of War II's cliffhanger ending didn't leave much room for doubt that the threequel was on it's way, we didn't think we'd be hearing from our good pal Kratos so "soon" after the release of Chains. Ah, well; no rest for the familicidal, as they say.

Sony's PS Eye-based motion-tracking system that uses head movements as game controls, and which was recently shown at GDC, was merely a tech demo. This means it is unlikely to be coming to a shop near you soon.
A Sony representative told SPOnG this morning, "We have no details on the tracking software. As far as I'm aware it was developed by someone at SCEA and was shown at GDC as a technical demo of what is possible with the PS3 and PS Eye."

If 2006 was the year of the Xbox 360 and 2007 was the year of the Wii, 2008 is shaping up to be PlayStation 3's turn in the spotlight, as it stokes demand in the $19 billion computer gaming industry with some hotly awaited game titles.
Nintendo's Wii outsold Sony's more expensive PS3 console 4-to-1 in Japan this month, but the PS3's maiden victory over the Wii last November showed that under the right conditions, the tables could turn.
Exclusive PS3 titles like puzzle-solving, community-based game "LittleBigPlanet", production improvements that will give Sony room to cut prices, and the recent victory of its Blu-ray technology in the high-definition DVD format war, should drive demand for the games console.
"2008 will be a turning year for the PS3," said iSuppli analyst Pamela Tufegdzic. "Sony is offering a better forthcoming software pipeline with blockbuster titles like "Gran Turismo 5", which will boost PS3 sales this year."

Uberjack has posted news that will delight all emulator fans on the PSP:
While I continue waiting for days on end for my next GameFly rental, I wanted to let you know what’s been going on lately.
First, fMSX 2.5.1 release is coming up tomorrow. This release should fix mostly sound issues, and bring fMSX PSP up to par with the official distribution.
Second, a ColEm release should be around the corner, though it will mostly be a maintenance release.
Finally, it may interest some of you to know that I’m currently trying to implement adhoc gameplay for one (and then many?) of the emulators. Things are going well so far, so here’s to hoping…

News/release from animefreak345
PS-CoverFlow is a mp3 player app that is coded in lua.
Currently the graphics of it are somewhat sleek and nice but next releases are going to have more improvements. it'll be a very nice app in later releases.
installation:
copy all contents of the .rar archive into the game folder. it has to be in ms0:/PSP/GAME or else it will not work properly.
IMPORTANT: you must have at least on image in ms0:/PICTURE/covers/ folder to run the coverflow or else it will not work.
and you must have your music under ms0:/MUSIC
It does read the id3 tags in the player.
TO GET COMPATIBLE ALBUM ART:
you may get album art images from amazon.com and search for your album of the song of you want. then save the bigger image of it, which should 240x240 in size. NOT the small thumbnails.
or you MUST have .jpg images with the size 240x240.
hint on later feature: i will make it be able to just browse music without coverflow.
Instructions:
your album art MUST be the same name as your .mp3 file. (eg. test.jpg for your image if your song is test.mp3)
when your in coverflow you have to use the anolog stick to cycle through your art.
Picture viewing is currently unavailable.
under settings you may select some of the current themes. later releases will have much better themes and features.
Controls:
X = select item
O = go back a menu/screen
[] = nothing...yet
/\ = screen shot (to psp/photo/)
R trigger = nothing
L trigger = nothing
analog left = scroll covers left
analog right = scroll covers right

Make that May 29 for Japan. The sequel to the dungeon crawler includes 80+ quests in the main story and probably other features I’m not aware of. Marvelous really hasn’t releaed much information about Valhalla Knights 2 other than confirming Humans and Hobbits (i.e. Halflings in the North American release) will be around. Hopefully, the machine race will be around too because mixing magic and mechs was my personal highlight in the game. Out of place? Yes, but that is what made the awkward alliance cool.

Soywiz has released a new PSP Emulator for Windows:
This is a proof of concept I made of a PSP Emulator with a debugger using D programming language and DFL library. Currently, the emulator only emulates a few instructions and a few BIOS calls.
2008/03/01:
- Partial (and buggy) lighting support.
- Some cleanups.
- Starting gui for breakpoints and gpu (not working yet).
- Corrected callstack.
- Some fixes; more homebrew demos supported.
- Temporally skinning broken.
- Temporally shaders disabled.
- Updated binaries.
- Reduced size of the font used in dissasembler and memory viewer.
- Allowing reduce dissasembler window size; now imports won't overlap).
- Initial support of opening files (not working fine yet).
- Threading support currently disabled (I have to fix some issues).
- mstick and reflection demos not supported yet
2008/02/24:
- Buggy skinning support.
- Implemented guLogic
2008/02/23:
- Now using shaders (opengl >= 2.0).
- Very fast clut.
- Now I will be able to emulate sprite behaviour (sprite.pbp) with vertex shaders.
- And probably hardware morphing and skining.

In a little over two weeks Armored Core For Answer will be released in Japan on both PS3 and 360. The publicity campaign the game has received has been pretty thorough, as From Software utilised the whole Web 2.0 approach by having Japanese bloggers espouse the game's virtues (something Famitsu has got in the act on with their crazy 360 blogger, Jamzy). Even the redoubtable Toshifumi Nabeshima, essentially regarded as the father of Armored Core by the Japanese fanbase, has done the rounds online pimping the game as best he can.
Features-wise, it's all a bit over the top still as For Answer comes across as being like Shadow of the Colossus but with guns and robots (traveling at 2000 km/h, obviously). A few things have fallen by the wayside though, namely the transformable AC's but other things like Dolby 5.1 in-game and full online co-op have partly made up for that (though there's always the possibility that Famitsu initially misquoted the whole transformation aspect, as a lot of the Arms Forts do transform into different modes rather than the AC's themselves).
One of the more interesting aspects of the game's production though is the use of Isaku Okabe as a military adviser (he recently did something similar for the truly excellent Gundam 00). Again, From Software didn't miss a trick and they had him put in front of a camera and explain the nitty gritty military aspects of the game.
For those that want to catch up with the deluge of materials that have been unleashed online, then the official site is a good port of call as is the Armored Core Wiki (the Next Reports are especially worth a gander). GameTrailers has also leeched the movies from the official site if you have trouble streaming them. All we need to do now is wait for the Western release and the subsequent reviews undertaken by gamers that have had their hands replaced with flippers.

It's been more than a year since the accidental shooting of 18-year-old Peyton Strickland by Cpl. Christopher Long, a deputy of New Hanover County, N.C., during a raid of Strickland's rented home in early December, 2006. The sheriff's Emergency Response Team was serving a warrant for Strickland's arrest in connection with his suspected involvement in two PS3's being stolen from a University of North Carolina Wilmington student. Long mistook the sounds of his own team using a battering ram for gunshots, and opened fire on the unarmed teenager.
Long was not charged with a crime, but the Strickland family recently received a small amount of closure on the matter -- a $2.45 million settlement from New Hanover County, and a public apology from Sheriff Sid Causey, who admitted that Long "made a mistake as to the existence of a deadly threat".
The Strickland family will put the $2.45 million into a charitable foundation to provide need-based scholarships and other grants. "The Stricklands were not interested in money," said Strickland family representative Joyce Fitzpatrick. "That cannot bring their son back."

Eugene Plotnikov has updated his Simple Media System for the Sony Playstation 2. SMS is a multimedia player capable of playing back many popular formats such as DIVX, XVID, MPEG and MP3's. SMS also supports many ways to play back your media such as network streaming, USB drives and discs.
What's New?
Fixed problem with (S)VCD .DAT files. Thanks to 'Salacho' for the remark;
* USB mass storage driver is rewritten from scratch (though some elements from 'ps2dev's' one were used).
* Added support for up to 4 USB mass storage devices (FAT formatted) that are simultaneously connectedto the console. USB devices with multiple logical units (like -in-1 cardreaders) should also work(tested here with SWEEX CF004 53-in-1 cardreader with CF and SD cards)). Transfer speed varies depending on filesystem fragmentation (peak rate exceeds 800KB/s sometimes (btw., maximum raw transfer rate (without filesystem overhead) I've got here is around 950 KB/s which is the same as on my PC (USB 1.1 slot). If this driver will cause problems then there's still a possibility to use older driver as described in changelog from 05-FEB-2008;
* Improved .aac file autodetection algorithm. Thanks to 'lee99' for the sample clip;
* Added support for HE-AAC sound. Thanks to everybody who provided sample clips;

Here is a first beta version of the homebrew I am currently working on.
It allows you to browse Google Maps, and to switch between the map, satellite and terrain views.
I know there is already another project for this, but it is using a different approach.
My program is not using the Google Map API and it is not a website.
Instead, the PSP is connecting directly to retrieve the images.
The homebrew for firmware 3.x is available here: http://royale.zerezo.com/psp/ .
I hope you will enjoy this little software

It's not much of a shocker to learn the latest (and final) installment in the Metal Gear Solid series is a sizable one -- MGS games have a history of being big (and beautiful). However, a recent interview with series creator Hideo Kojima revealed a startling fact about MGS4 -- Kojima complained that a few features had to be cut from the game so it would fit on a Blu-ray disc. As format fanatics already know, that means the game takes up nearly 50 gigabytes of space.
If true, this is bad news for anyone who hoped to see anthropomorphic cow-bots on the 360 (unless that data was divided between about five dual-layer DVDs), but it could also mean a painfully long installation time for PS3 owners as well. We can only imagine that 49 of those gigabytes are taken up by thousands of variations on just three lines of dialogue -- "Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!?"

News/release from Freeplay:
Use this tool to build a customized pspbtcnf.bin file for firmwares not supported by PSPBTEdit.
I designed this tool because I didn't have any way to load plugins in APP mode on 3.90m33-2... and Go! Messenger runs in APP mode.
As with most of my releases, the source is included. Thanks to Dark_AleX for information about the new pspbtcnf format; this wouldn't have been possible without that. (Well, maybe it would be... but it would've taken a little longer.)
Usage: btcnf <pspbtcnf file> -build | -extract -b | -e
-e | -extract: extract pspbtcnf file to pspbcnf.txt
-b | -build: build pspbtcnf file from pspbtcnf.txt
The pspbtcnf.txt file should be pretty straightforward; it's just a list of modules paired with a list of modes each module is loaded in.
Valid modes are VSH, Game, Updater, POPS, and App, abbreviated as V, G, U, P, and A. To make a module load in one of these modes, just add it to the list after the module name. They can be in any order, upper/lower case, doesn't matter.
Here are a few examples:
$/kd/hpremote_02g.prx VGUPA
$/kd/openpsid.prx VGPA
$/kd/usb.prx VGA
$/kd/ata.prx VGU
$/kd/umdcache.prx G
$/kd/mgr.prx VPA
$/kd/msaudio.prx V
$/kd/np9660.prx A
$/kd/vshbridge.prx VU

News/release from Andyauff
Hey everyone. Here is a simple application that can compute 4 (well actually, 5) different algebraic values. They are:
1) Slope of a line in standard form
2) Y-intercept of a line in standard form
3) Determinant of a 2x2 matrix
4) Determinant of a 3x3 matrix
5) Solution of a system of 2 equations with 2 variables each*
* In other words, it finds the intersection of two lines in standard form
Hopefully someone finds it useful.

Research company iSuppli has stated its belief that Sony will push through another price cut for the PlayStation 3 at some point during this year, leading up to a big Christmas for the console.
Analyst Pamela Tufegdzic told Reuters: "We anticipate Sony will have another price slash on the PS3 this year, and come Christmas, consumers who originally bought the Wii will likely purchase the PS3."
Following on from predictions last month around a strong performance for the console this year Tufegdzic reiterated that "2008 will be a turning year for the PS3 - Sony is offering a better forthcoming software pipeline with blockbuster titles like Gran Turismo 5, which will boost PS3 sales this year."
Currently Sony loses money on each console sold due to high manufacturing costs, although that's not an unusual move by hardware companies in order to get as high an installed base as possible and sell more software.
However, Sony has stated that it expects manufacturing costs to fall below sales prices this year, a move which might prompt the company to ponder a price point change.

Sony has finally whisked over its list of PlayStation Store updates for last Thursday. Well, "list" is a bit strong.
For those with a PS3 it consists of two trailers - one for Haze and one for Conflict: Denied Ops.
Meanwhile, those with a PSP can get the final WipEout downloadable content pack plus a video of Patapon.
Actually interesting is the Go!Messenger service for the handheld that was included in a firmware update and should now be on your CrossMediaBar (XMB).
This lets you chit-chat with friends when you're near a wireless broadband connection. If you have a camera, then you can send voice and video messages too.
It's good to talk.

We saw this coming. The prices of older PS3 models (20 and 60GB versions) have doubled in Japan as their PS2 backwards compatibility feature becomes a sexy object of desire.
The PS2 backwards compatibility of earlier PS3s was scrapped in the more recent 40GB SKU as part of Sony's effort to reduce production costs.
Now, fearing that PS2-playing consoles may become somewhat of a niche, desperate gamers are snapping up consoles for up to twice their typical value.
20GB consoles, which previously sold for around 15,000 Yen in Japan have been marked up as much as 40,000 in some second-hand shops. The same shops are also giving premium cash back to those willing to sell off their full-fat consoles, according to Hobby Blog.
We're holding onto our 60GB consoles like precious babies.

Talks of an in-game XMB are so frequent that we've got a keyboard macro dedicated to the phrase, but the waiting will finally be over this summer, according to SCEE big shot Ray Maguire.
Speaking to MCV of his glee at PS3 having reached 1 million sales faster than both the PSOne and PS2, Maguire said: "Our momentum will continue with the introduction of in-game communication in the summer, firmware update 2.4 and the strongest line-up of games through our third party partners and our own studios."
In-game XMB access is a must because at the moment you can't access your friends list during a game, which is nothing short of madness.
But the gem in that statement - the imminent arrival of "in-game communication", should rectify these issues and the confirmation of a "summer" release helps to nail down the previously vague "2008" promise.
We wonder what other goodies will be in Firmware 2.4, and we also wonder when we became such firmware geeks. Read our huge '10 Steps to Perfect PS3 Firmware' feature to see what we mean.

Here is the long-awaited moment when the fate of Sprite 1 release Maker XP. This homebrew creates its own board of Sprite format RPG Maker XP (hence the name) on its psp, anywhere, anytime.
We can actually do what? This first release creates his board sprite, save it, export it. Png, load data stored in the file save.sm, and that's all for now.
The author adds that the HB is 100% compatible with the osk of sony: sony virtual keyboard (thanks to peb), leaving possibiliter normally with the key HOME, and back from sleep possible. (Only small flat which will be quickly corrected, the sensitivity too high while typing at the keyboard).
The author explains the future of homebrew:
In the future, we can import. Png to add elements (sword, cape ...), manage the color of each component with a system of masks, to prioritize display for each element of each tile board, directly access the help file, edit and direct the board to amend accuracy sprite (pixel by pixel).

This news is only of interest to serious PSP Developers:
Release/news from thefRont:
Hey there,
you probably all know the great ready-to-go PSPSDK environtment made by ZX-81
running a Xubuntu installation inside VirtualBox. If not just keep reading...
ZX-81 did a really great job with his PSPSDK environment. As far as I can tell
it has been used by many PSP developers and got a very good reputation.
My best regards go to him as I was successfully using his environment for
the past months.
Unfortunatly as time passed, the PSPSDK developed further but the environment
didn't get updated. So if you wanted to get the latest version of the SDK
you'd have to update it on your own. As updating can be a very frustrating
and time consuming issue I've finally come up with a brand new version of
such an environment.
Based on ZX-81 environment it also contains all the tools you would expect
plus some extra tools like PSPLINK and an already configured Eclipse CDT for
developing and debugging your applications.
Contents
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The package contains a fully working Xubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release with the
latest PSPSDK + Toolchain (Revision: 2365 - 02/26/2008) + additional Extras
statet below:
Additional libraries:
- freetype
- jpeg
- libogg
- libpng
- libvorbis
- pspirkeyb
- SDL
- SDL_gfx
- SDL_image
- SDL_mixer
- SDL_ttf
- zlib
Additional tools:
- psplinkusb (1.50 and 3.xx release)
- pspsh + usbhostfs (used for connecting to psplink)
Development tools:
- KDevelop (as in ZX-81 last release)
- Eclipse CDT (NEW! Can be used for developing and debugging your applications using psplink)
I've also included the Hello World Project by ZX-81 for KDevelop and Eclipse,
ready to use. The latest source of pspirc 1.1.2 by ZX-81 is also included, but
without KDevelop project files. It should compile quite nicely though.
Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation is fairly easy. All you need is the virtual Xubuntu image (download
is about 800 MB) and an Application called Virtualbox which is used to run the
Xubuntu system in a virtualized environment.
Please note that after you extracted the virtual image it will consume up to
*4GB* of disk space. So please make sure that you have enough free disk space.
Get the virtual image here:
http://www.luaplayer.org/pspsdk-image.zip
VirtualBox can be downloaded at http://www.virtualbox.org
1. Download and extract the virtual image somewhere on your hard disk.
2. Download and install VirtualBox, then run it.
3. Create a new virtual machine, choose Linux 2.6 as OS Type and select 256 MB main memory.
4. Choose 'Existing...' at the virtual hard disk selector to open the virtual media manager.
5. Click on 'Add' and select the file you extracted in step 1.
6. Now click 'Choose' to select the hard disk, then click 'Next' and finally click 'Finish'
7. Start the virtual machine by double clicking on it and let the system boot up.
8. At the login promt enter 'psp' as username and password.
Credits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many thanks to ZX-81 for his great PSPSDK environment and PSP applications.
I really appreciate your great work.
A big one goes out to InsertWittyName for hosting the virtual image on his server.
And I have to thank all the developers of the PSPSDK. Without you guys this
would never have been possible.
Any Questions?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any questions on how to run this environment please feel free
to send me a PM or write an e-mail to dachande@gmx.net.
Please note that I might not answer specific questions concerning the SDK in
particular. For questions about the PSPSDK please visit http://www.pspdev.org
or check out #pspdev on irc.freenode.net
Please remember this is for serious devs only and is a 800MB download so dont abuse the bandwith.

News/release from Hellcat:
HELLCATs Wallpaper Changer
The name's the deal - this changes your wallpaper for the XMB, no more, no less
However you have a few features:
Two modes of operation: "Everytime" and "Once per day" (see readme for details)
You can set special, predefined images for a specific date (again, check readme)
change the XMB background *BEHIND* the waves (a.k.a. 01-12.bmp) - WITHOUT writing to flash!
Randomizing/Changing of PTF themes
UPDATE 1.14
Fixed some lockups during start
Fixed another conflict with wavepapers in "Once per day" mode
added PTF changing/randomizing
Added two PC based (Windows) tools for making propper 01-12.bmp replacements (background behind XMB waves) and perfect 480x272x24 PSP wallpapers you can then use with the Wallpaper-Changer.
Both tools take various image formats in any possible resolution as source images and should make most converting tasks very easy (two mouseclicks, and you're set )

PSW got one thing right, and that's our collective: Huh? The UK magazine would have us believe that Crytek's "hard-worked" code monkeys have confirmed -- "in many interviews" -- that Crysis is coming to PS3 later this year. Not true. But we can count this latest report as another adherent of the 'Crysis 1.5' theory, which here evolves into rumor of a hybrid-port that combines aspects of the original PC Crysis and its sequel into "almost 50% new game." Assuming that a Crysis-brand product will eventually land on PS3 (what else is the console version of CryEngine 2 good for?), we'd be curious to know how much of the alleged 'newness' would translate into better gameplay. Are we really talking Crysis 1.5 -- or just Crysis Lite? (Remember, Far Cry's leap to console had plenty of 'new,' just not any better.)

Computer-based learning company Plato has announced it will launch educational gaming software for Sony's PSP beginning in April of 2008 with its Achieve Now line of products, comprising 57 different games.
The company says the games are designed to support elementary and middle school students improve academic proficiency in areas such as language arts, reading and mathematics.
According to Plato, Achieve Now provides more than 2,000 hours of content aligned to all 50 states' educational standards, aimed to integrate with kids' existing programs of study.
Plato VP of product and market management Todd Brekhus said, "The concept of education lessons through games is quickly gaining traction with parents and teachers as a new way to reach today’s student. Interactive gaming helps build valuable problem-solving skills through play, and Plato Achieve Now helps harness those skills by adding rigorous academic content to the gaming experience—better than a boring worksheet.”

March 4th, 2008, 02:06 Posted By: wraggster
The Oscars were a non-event this year for Sony -the studio took home only one gold statue-but Sir Howard Stringer was in town with plenty to celebrate. The globe-trotting Sony Corporation chief was fresh off his company's triumph in the high stakes, high-definition video player wars.
On February 19, Stringer was en route from Tokyo to London to attending a movie premiere and then a party for his 66th birthday when Toshiba held a press conference announcing that it would stop producing its less expensive, Microsoft-backed HD DVD players and would cede the battle to Sony-led Blu Ray.
It was somehow fitting that Sir Howard's next stop on his world tour would be Hollywood, because it was here that the Blu Ray battle was ultimately won-Toshiba only threw in the towel after the Warner Brothers studio decided last month to stop releasing its DVDs in both formats and to go exclusively with Blu Ray.
The victory was not only crucial to proving Stringer's strategy of showing that Sony's entertainment, electronics and games businesses could work together but - perhaps more critically-helped exorcise the ghosts of its failed Betamax video tape format that has haunted the halls at Sony for two decades. "I was a pain in the ass on this," Stringer told me. "Because of the Betamax experience, we made it clear to everyone that this was a Sony corporate mission."
Indeed, the pathos behind the Betamax saga can't be overstated. The early years of Sony's ownership of the Columbia movie studio in the early 1990s were legendarily disastrous and held up as the ultimate clash of cultures.
Brian Roberts, now the head of America's giant cable company Comcast, recently recounted to Stringer his first visit to Sony as part of a US cable industry group. Then Sony chief Akio Morita grew enraged when asked whether he was unhappy with buying Columbia, which had resulted in a $3.2-billion write-down in 1994. "You Americans don't understand." Morita shot back.
"We clearly had the best product with Betamax-but Hollywood picked VHS." In an email, Roberts recounted the encounter as very un-Japanese in its emotion. "And I vividly remember, with fire in his eyes what he said next: 'That will never happen to Sony again."
Fast forward a decade or so to 2005, when Sir Howard was the surprise choice to lead troubled Sony as its first non-Japanese CEO. Here was a former journalist and media executive who moved easily in Hollywood circles.
Sony had already taken the huge gamble of deciding to build a Blu Ray player inside its PlayStation 3 game console, which was a big factor in getting the big studios Disney and Fox to commit exclusively to it. (The idea was that such a move would help the technology gain consumer acceptance and provide consumers a bargain way to buy a Blu Ray player since a PS3 alone was less than half the price of the first Blu Ray players).
The only problem was that by building a new, unproven technology into a highly-anticipated game unit led to the kinds of production delays and cost increases that were hobbling Sony.
The PS3 came out in late 2006 to a mixed reception, and, initially, no one was sure whether anyone who bought one really cared whether it came with a newfangled video player. And, unlike the advent of video-cassette recorders which were first introduced to let people record their favorite TV shows, the progress form regular standard to high definition represented a leap in picture quality, but not in how people actually consumed entertainment.
Of course, any new product lives or dies by its relationship with retailers and its appeal to consumers. Stringer contends that Blu Ray was a better, more advanced technology with more storage capability that would come in handy down the road. HD DVD had the advantage of cheaper players and mighty backers from the get-go. The result was that sales of high-def video players came a steady trickle, with most consumers not wanting to commit to a format that might end up quickly obsolete.
It's now clear, though, that the biggest factor behind Sony's success was its efforts to get as many of Stringer's Hollywood mogul pals as possible to commit and stay exclusively to Blu Ray. And, he said with a laugh: "Nobody does anybody a favor in this town."
When it began selling the players nearly two years ago, Sony had signed on Walt Disney and Fox, and later wooed Lion's Gate and secured the library of MGM by leading a consortium to buy that studio. That left Warner Brothers, Paramount and Dreamworks (which subsequently merged) and NBC Universal to win over. The latter was exclusively supporting HD DVD from the get-go, while Viacom-owned Paramount/Dreamworks jolted Sony last August and announced it would no longer release discs in both formats and was going with HD DVD.
Both camps knew that Warner Brothers was planning to make a decision about whether to continue supporting dueling formats by the end of 2007. If it went with HD DVD, the stalemate would have gone on for years-or worse, other studios might have followed its lead. Before Warner's announcement, Blu-Ray had about 46pc of the market for new releases exclusively, while HD-DVD had around 24pc. Warner, which released movies in both formats, represented about 20pc of the market in DVDs last year.
What was clear going into the last quarter of the year was that consumer confusion over which format to buy was holding sales of next-generation DVD players back at a time when the DVD market overall was running out of steam, and with it an important source of studio profits.
Sony went into high gear. The avuncular Sir Howard worked the phones with top executives at Warner Brothers and its owner, Time Warner (which also owns Fortune, where I work). To jump start use of the PS3 as a low-cost movie player, it began throwing in free Blu Ray discs of Sony flicks like Talledega Nights with new PS3s. Also, newer versions of the PS3 released last year began to include remote controls to bolster the device's appeal to home cineastes. Sony made sure to put a few extra billboards touting Blu Ray strategically around Tinseltown where key execs would see them.
Never mind the Hollywood ending, Sir Howard can only imagine how much bigger the headlines would have been had Sony come out on the losing side again. And he acknowledges that he still has a marketing challenge ahead convincing consumers that they need a HD player to go with their fancy new high-def displays.
Indeed, no sooner was the format contest decided that critics were wondering if people will just hold out for a next-generation video of HD video on demand that bypasses video players entirely. Asked if he might offer trade-ins for the 1 million people who have bought soon-to-be-obsolete HD DVD gadgets, Stringer grimaces. "Steady," he jokes: "If I have any more success, I'll be bankrupt."

Interesting article from Psp Hacks
Remember this? Nearly 3 years in the making, Tom Porter shares his 2005 PSP Predictions VS. Today — the PSP in 2008.
“The PSP is one of the most creative and powerful gaming handhelds ever devised. At its inception in 2005, many people speculated how far the PSP would go. Graphics out of the box were superior to anything the Nintendo DS could muster. It could also by default, play music, watch movies and look at pictures on the go, anytime, anywhere. Still, for some people this wasn’t enough, and imaginations set to work devising the future of the PlayStation Portable machine. This article compares the hope for the future with modern day reality for the functionality of the PSP, and its subsequent accessories.
Sony PSP WebCam (70% Reality Rating in 2005)
The Portable Sony Console has seen the release of a 1.2 Megapixel camera, along with software to edit movies and photos on the go. Unfortunately, the device was sold only in Japan to date, and the software is in Japanese. However, all PSP regions have access to the basic functions of photo and video taking. There were rumors floating around that the PSP camera would be released in other locations in late 2008/early 2009.
Sony PSP Direct Data Exchange: (75% Reality Rating in 2005)
The PSP came built in with a meager Game Sharing feature, which worked only with very few select titles. PSP Gamers hoped that in the future that Sony would introduce some sort of wireless transfer capability of music, photos and game saves over IR or WIFI. Although this is not a reality with Official Firmwares, Custom Firmware applications such as IR shell and a few independent programs allowed this. Since this primarily is a homebrew type community, we can say this has been fulfilled.
Sony PSP TV (50% Reality Rating in 2005)
With the introduction of cell phones capable of watching television around the same time as the PSP launch, there was been much speculation that the PSP may one day be able to watch TV. Again, your wish is Sony’s command, that is if you live in the pampered land of Japan. Sony recently released a 1-Seg type USB accessory that can in fact watch a special type of TV signal being broadcast in the homeland of Sony. The bad news however is that if imported to the United States or other locations, this device will be little more than a paperweight, as it does not pick up standard analog or digital signals.
Sony PSP Keyboard: (90% Reality Rating in 2005)
The lack of a USB keyboard for the PSP has been a major disappointment for many fans. To be quite honest, the reality of this back in 2005 was almost assured, as Sony itself touted around a mini-thumb pad, and almost was released. Many people speculated the PSP’s USB mode was incapable for such a device. This is not true, as all was needed being a few minor tweaks to the firmware for it to function properly. Again, the homebrew scene stepped up to the plate, introducing some custom firmware modules activating the IR port to communicate with Palm Pilot type external keyboards. Although possible on the older PSP systems, the lack of an IR port on the newer slim models render the keyboard nonfunctional. We cant honestly say there is a universal keyboard, Sony or otherwise as of yet.
Sony PSP Universal Remote Control: (50% Reality Rating in 2005)
The newer slim playstation portable no longer has an IR port, which many remote controlled devices require to operate. Despite this, several Remote Control programs have been written for the older PSP units, and can control virtually any device. Although not official Sony software, these modules work very well, and ironically enough even works with the Xbox.
Sony PSP TV-Out: (30% Reality Rating in 2005)
Back in the days of the older PSP models, there were a few creative solutions for a person displaying his/her portable system on a television. The two most conventional ways (if you would call them that) was to have a large box on the outside of the screen, projecting it into a mini optical scanner. The other way was to manual open and modify the system. Sony released the PSP 2000 series, which had TV out capability built in. Some criticism for only allowing Progressive TV output for gaming was heard, but quickly died down. A much neater solution than the old PSP, that’s for sure.
Sony PSP Hard-Drive: (80% Reality Rating in 2005)
Max Media helped us out with this unusual device. Adding almost double the weight to the system, and a big bulky battery pack, this almost forgotten accessory was the forefront of ultimate storage…back in 2006. Containing 4 GB of space, it was slower than conventional memory cards and sucked battery juice faster than a Game Gear. Today in 2008, there are bigger memory cards available cheaper than this hard-drive accessory.
Sony PSP VOIP Telephony: (40% Reality Rating in 2005)
Last but not least, the PSP Telephone. Recently, Sony teamed up with Skype to give gamers the ability to talk to one another. Not something the telephone companies have been doing successfully for the past 100 years mind you, but just another novel way of communicating via the Internet. The limitations are pretty big, need to be in a WIFI spot, have an Microphone accessory, requires the Slim PSP model… but reality non-the less. This feature will in the future hopefully become more user friendly.
And there we have it folks. These were major predictions for the PSP, and most of them discussed came true. The PSP certainly has come a long way. For sure, the PSP will still have more innovative features on the drawing board…both from Sony and homebrew programmers. We come a long way baby.”
No doubt.

Another month, another color for the Japanese PSP. The latest addition to the multi racial portable family is "Matte Bronze," a limited edition color that will arrive on April 24 along with a couple of new accessories.
Unlike most of the PSP color variations, Sony Japan has decided to release the bronze system exclusively as a Value Pack bundle. In addition to the PSP-2000 hardware, the package will include a pouch, a strap, a cloth, a 32 megabyte Memory Stick, and a D cable for hooking up the system to a television. This is the first time Sony has included a television cable with a PSP bundle.
Pricing for the bundle is set at 23,800 yen.
Coinciding with the bronze color variation, Sony will release a couple of new accessories for the portable. The company will release the PSP-S360 cradle at 4,800 yen. In addition to simplifying the charging process a bit, this device includes a small remote control, allowing you to remotely control your PSP.
Sony will also bundle the cradle with a D-cable in a 6,500 yen pack, making it even easier to use the PSP as a media device. Both accessories will arrive on 4/24.

Newly released today:
After escaping from the political intrigue behind the battle of Sekigahara, Miyamoto Musashi, the strongest swordsman of Japan gave up his sword and identity and hid himself under the facade of Kiryuu Kazumanosuke, a hit man who owned an establishment called Tatsuya in Kyoto, Gion. Gion is an entertainment district where the rich and powerful buy sexual favors from the poor and powerless.
One day a girl, Haruka, came to Kiryuu with the job request “please kill Miyamoto Musashi for me.” and at her request Kiryuu journeyed to find his impostor and to reveal the secrets behind the battle of Sekigahara.
From Sekigahara, Gion to Funajima, bridging the gap between the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi and the current hit man Kiryuu, the game takes its players through an epic plot filled with action, rivalry, sexual desire and political intrigue.

via Eurogamer
Sony UK told Eurogamer today that it has nothing to say about reports its American friends have been showing off a PS3 video store to retailers.
Kotaku, which was bang on with its other reports from the Destination PlayStation conference that brought us news of the Metal Gear Solid 4 release date and bundle, reports that the video store was shown off at the same time.
Apparently Sony Pictures-owned films are included, it uses a similar interface to SingStar PS3's SingStore, and North America will be first to see it.
If it does launch, it will give Microsoft something to think about; at the moment Xbox Live Video Marketplace rides alone across the money-coloured waters of downloadable film and TV rentals, delivering the likes of Outbreak and Analyze This to whoever has the hard disk space.

Sony has announced that Japanese PSP users will be able to use Skype services from March 18.
The software will be included in the next system update scheduled for this month, with Sony releasing official microphones to coincide with the communications service.
Skype was originally due for Japanese release in January, but was delayed as Sony hardware failed to meet Skype specification.
Sony Japan has also unveiled a new limited edition PSP bundle for the local market. The PSP Matte Bronze Value Pack will go on sale April 24, priced JPY 23,800, and will come with the handheld, a pouch, hand strap, cloth, 32MB Memory Stick Duo and D Terminal AV cable.

"Silent Hill Origins for the PlayStation 2 system gives console game lovers the same chilling, suspenseful and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered with the release of Silent Hill Origins on the PSP system," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "PlayStation 2 system gamers will get the chance to learn more about the mystery and mythos hinted at in earlier Silent Hill games."

Players must help Travis escape the city's horrific inhabitants and unravel the mystery of the strange hallucinations from Travis' past, visions that have plagued him since childhood.
Throughout the game, Travis can use his fists, his wits and an array of weapons including a meat cleaver, pool cue and sledgehammer to fight his way through the nightmarish world of Silent Hill and face more than one possible ending.
The PSP System game was one of the highest reviewed titles for the platform, receiving high praise from media outlets such as GamePro, GameZone.com, Hardcore Gamer Magazine and PLAY Magazine.

After a year undercover, Sony has finally broken its silence on its PS3 instalment of SOCOM, though it looks like you'll have to buy a magazine to get the full story.
The next issues of US mag EGM apparently has the full blow-out on Confrontation, which will be available as a download on PSN, as well as traditional retail means.
"The dev team is really excited that the world can finally see some of their hard work," posted design director David Seymour on the PS Blog.
"This has also been a huge relief to SealTeam-6, who has the unenviable job of telling SOCOM's huge, hungry fan base every week that: a) yes we are still working on the game, and b) no, there is no new information we can share at this time."
No new info without mag purchase then, but Dave did offer description on the two released screenshots:
"[The first screenshot] is indeed Crossroads, the most fan-requested SOCOM map. This shot is taken from our new OTS camera, but the player is backed up into a wall here so it might look a bit confusing. This is the right in front of the SEAL spawn, looking down the street in the direction of the warehouse.
"[The second] is a brand new map, which has a 16 player core area and an expanded footprint for 32 player matches. This ruined shopping center is a great sniping location, and is a hotly contested control point in our internal sessions."

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS/GBA and also the PSP, heres whats new:
Much thanks go to Marvin Sanchez who has ported POWDER to the PSP so you don't need to run the GBA version inside an emulator any more. This initial release is still Alpha - I don't have a PSP to check directly with, so any problems are thanks to my meddling, not Marvin.
A large assortment of polish issues and minor bug fixes. The biggest change will be for GBA users that now have a way to enter their name that doesn't require a few days of research to understand.
* Fixed the word-wrap code so you will not see commas at the start of new lines. (Elias Erkamo)
* When you die the inventory cursor is reset to the first item so new games will see it in a reasonable starting location. (Colin Pritchard)
* When ><0|V| polymorphs your equipped weapon, no longer destroy the weapon if it is polymorph resistant (ie, artifact, unchanging, quest item) (sparrowhawc)
* Gifted items now appear BY your feet, rather than skipping the preposition. (Michael Brough)
* Stoned characters no longer report a depth of 255 in the character dump. (Michael Brough)
* When charging a stack of items, the new charges are split among the items in the stack, meaning there is no longer a significant advantage to charging a stack versus individual items.
* KnownItems in the Option menu will give you a list of everything you have identified this game, similar to \ in Nethack. (conkstah)
* Can no longer swap places when either part is submerged or in a pit (Irashtar)
* "Prove your worth in my combat arena!" now has sufficient prepositions. (Michael Brough)
* "Suits of plate" rather than "Suites of plate". (Zach Firth)
* A wand of dig will make a pit in undiggable levels. (Zach Firth)
* A bit of spell rebalancing. Sticky flames increased to 10 MP to better reflect its utility. Sunfire significantly boosted as it is supposed to be more overpowered. Create Pit's cost reduced a bit making it a comparable root attack to force bolt.
* New spell, Flash, that takes Sticky Flame's spot in the spell pre-req chain. (Irashtar)
* Character dumps to .TXT files have line wrap set to 72 columns rather than 30 so posts of winning characters will be better formated.
* The input line now has a cursor showing where you are currently typing.
* A sad day indeed! The nifty mini-game to enter your name on the GBA has been removed in favour of a mundane and boring on screen keyboard! (Zappa Penguin)
* Text input area has been doubled in size to make it easier to type your name without precision stylus placement. (David Hong, Zappa Penguin)
* A cursor has been added to the text input to make it clear when space is hit.
* Your health and mana is now colour coded if it is not at maximum. Yes, David, I have already added a note that some people may want an option to disable this.
* Successfully compiled on a 64bit Linux machine, so hopefully all of my evil pointer casts have been dealt with.
* Throwing a -2 mithril chainmail in the air will no longer heal you.
* Belweir's library now also has scrolls. (Brog)
* Adjusted inventory wrapping again. Horizontal movement will only move which column you are in and no longer adjust your row. Vertical movement will stay inside the equipped item list if you start there, otherwise loop over all of your unequiped items. This better matches the logical separation of these two lists. (Irashtar)
* Finger of Death description adds some text to clarify it is a ray spell and accidents occur due to reflections. (Irashtar)
* Flails wildly replaced by Completely misses which is a bit less confusing about the origin of the text. (Irashtar)
* I normally document every small grammar fix that occurs, but then someone gives me a few pages of corrections. Numerous fixes thanks to R. Dan Henry.
* SDL port to the PSP. (Marvin Sanchez)

"Chains of Olympus doesn't quite live up to the other God of War games." (4) "Ready at Dawn didn't mess with the franchise's proven formula whatsoever, which is ... one of our ... gripes for the game." (3) "Gameplay-wise, nothing much has changed ... You still run around and beat the beejezus [sic] out of enemies and then meet up with the occasional boss fight." (5) "I wish that Ready at Dawn had added something new the canon rather than just re-using what's been done in the past." (7)
"The game feels a bit too familiar ... [and] at times you do feel like you've played the game before." (7) That said, "the game is missing some of the features from other God of War games. ... you won't find the ability to use your blades on grappling points, the Icarus Wings, Rage of the Gods, rope traversal, rope swinging, a fourth magic, etc." (4) "I find myself disappointed ... that the game doesn't quite have the same feeling of showing you something new around every corner that the previous games did." (4)
"The game is also brutally linear: you're constantly running from point A to point B, stopping to administer the occasional beatdown." (5) It could also be described as "a very linear experience, (3) that "may be a touch linear." (9) "Toward the end, combat got pretty repetitious, relying really heavily on the mechanic of blocking you into a room and not letting you out until you finished taking down the waves of enemies." (1) "It would have been nice to have seen a little experimentation here or there to mix things up. (3) "Altogether, ... the game feels like a bit less of an adventure and more of a straightforward action game." (4)

News/release from Art:
Hi Guys,
This is the Time Baby V12g release with MP3 player sleep mode.
Please let me know if there are still problems with the MP3 Player.
One thing I have found that I can't figure is the original PSP-120 headphone remote plays up with it
and only volume up and down work, but two identical third party headphone remotes work properly for
Play/Pause, Skip, and Previous track buttons.
Quote:
V12g (04/03/08):
- MP3 Player sleep mode implemented. PSP is suspended at the end of the playlist ready for the
alarm function to wake it up in the morning. Playlist is restarted on wake up, as well alarm sounding.
- MP3 Player will stop current track in single track mode, or skip to next track in playlist mode
when the PSP is woken from suspend with the mp3 player active.
- Implemented support for special config file that will cause the MP3 Player to be clocked at 333/333/166 MHz.
The second last byte can be changed to any value other than zero with a hex editor to use the fast CPU speed.
- Pause button on the headphone remote will announce the time once when the track is paused.
- Headphone remote can be plugged in at any time now the serial port is only activated in GPS time set mode.
- Various code fixes.
If the attached configuration file is used, the MP3 Player is clocked at 333/333/166 MHz
instead of 280/280/140 MHz.
You can save and load settings to and from this config file normally.

Previous rumour reports of the PlayStation Network getting a huge overhaul in April would appear true as SCEA's director of product development confirms: "you will see a pretty big change in the PlayStation Network in the early part of April.
The rumour emerged from a retailer-only presentation, in which Sony was said to have unveiled plans to give the PlayStation Network a makeover, as well as demonstrating a new Video Store.
Sony has since remained cagey on the subject, however SCEA's John Hight has told Gamasutra: "We give [Sony's PSN team] a lot of feedback based on how our customers are reacting to things, and I think you will see a pretty big change in the PlayStation Network in the early part of April, where we roll out some new interface stuff largely based on customer feedback."
Hight held back on exactly what these changes would entail, but did tease: "Simplification, cutting down on the number of mouse clicks, making it easier to find stuff that you want to find... that's kind of an outgrowth of us having more content now, so we have to make sure that you can get at it easily."
We can't wait.

The previously-announced PSP port of flOw - that strange deep-sea fishing-like game/pastime on PS3 - will be arriving on the PS Store (on PC) tomorrow.
The idea behind the portable version is the same: "Explore the soothing depths of a living underwater environment, discover strange new organisms and embark on a journey of evolution," says Sony.
That basically means move some odd white fish thing into other fish things to eat them, grow into a bigger fish thing, dive deeper and repeat. It sounds dull, but it can be strangely compelling in the right frame of mind.
The bonus, however, is that PSP version will be multiplayer-compatible, with a four-player Ad-Hoc mode included.
There's still no price on it yet, but we wouldn't expect it to be more than £3.49. And we're still awaiting a UK date, too. You'll know as soon as we do.

Codemasters has told Eurogamer that Rise of the Argonauts will be released on PC, 360 and PS3 in Q4 2008.
The action role-playing game had fallen rather quiet after its unveiling last April, but the publisher has assured us all is well and Argonauts should be ready to show to press soon.
The title retells the familiar story of young warrior king Jason, whose adventures were stop-animated to fame on the big-screen in 1963. However, the emphasis here is on exploring ancient Greece and all the perils that go with it.
Rise of the Argonauts also makes some bold claims. It wants do away with monotonous combat where one hit can kill if a sharp bit finds its way to soft flesh. And it wants to move away from good, evil and neutral paths by introducing four gods that are influenced by the consequences of nearly every action you make.
Technically it is looking to push boundaries as well, with a procedural animation system that has your sword and shield react independently depending on the area of attack, plus computer-controlled companions such as Hercules who can trigger co-operative attacks when they are in the near vicinity.

It's like our favorite old-school commercial: "Mr. Owl, how many Playstation 3s does it take to simulate a collision between two black holes?" Apparently, the answer is 16.
A group at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth hopes to use a cluster of 16 PS3s to run the simulation, specifically looking at the properties of the gravity waves emitted by the collision. The cluster -- nicknamed the PS3 Gravity Grid -- was built with a partial donation from Sony, who must like watching really big stuff collide as much as we do.
Similar simulations have been run before (most notably by NASA), but this marks the first time the super-calculation has been performed using a game console. Like our colleagues as PS3 Fanboy, we admit that most of the technical jargon presented here is way over our heads. We're sure some of you will "get it," though, and not just resort to Tootsie Roll references.

For those who love everything R/C, this Lynxmotion hexapod kit is pretty dorktastically awesome. While technically 2 legs short of spider status, this hexapod has excellent mobility, as 18 servos drive the legs (featuring 3 degrees of freedom) a foot per second and over obstacles up to 4" high. Oh, and it's preprogrammed to work with a 2.4Ghz wireless PlayStation 2 compatible controller.
The thing to remember here is that, as a kit, the $750 Lynxmotion BH3-R doesn't have all the polish of a retail product, but it leaves the platform open to robot enthusiasts.
Windows software allows you to customize movement over its basic programming that only supports multi-directional, multi-speed movement and 360-degree spins. Maybe you'd like your robot to do the robot, accomplishing feats of engineering that even Bender cannot fathom.
And after that, you can train it to hexa-fist beer and really subvert mankind's progress.

Codemasters has inked a deal with Majesco to bring 12 Wii, DS and PSP titles to Europe, as it targets the family-orientated market.
The partnership will see eight titles released this year, including Cake Mania for Wii and Toy Shop for the DS, and another four games scheduled for 2009.
"Majesco was looking for a pan-European partner who shares our belief in the strength, quality and depth of our product portfolio whilst contributing measurably to the energy, focus, talent and distribution breadth required to maximise their potential across the PAL territories," commented Jason Dutton, MD of Majesco Entertainment International.
US publisher Majesco has experienced a turnaround over the past twelve months, with a new strategy to focus on the casual market seeing the publisher reduce its operating losses by 84 per cent in 2007.
"We are delighted that a publisher of Codemasters’ heritage and quality shares our perspective and we look forward to working with them in 2008 and beyond," added Sutton.
Codemasters has a portfolio of strong brands including Colin McRae, Race Driver and Operation Flashpoint, and this Majesco deal sees the UK publisher add titles aimed at the more casual market to its offering.
"Codemasters has a dynamic network of established European offices and distribution bases that will extend Majesco’s product reach through PAL territories," said Tony Williams, chief operating officer of Codemasters.
"This will be a very positive partnership given that Majesco has an exciting and diverse range of original and established titles that complements our European portfolio."
Titles confirmed for distribution are Nanostray 2, Toy Shop, Cake Mania 2 and Nancy Drew: The Mystery of the Clue Bender Society for DS, Wild Earth: African Safari, Our House and Cake Mania for Wii and Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship for the PSP.

We're not terrifically interested in paying top dollar for what is tantamount to a glorified demo, so we aren't that excited for the April 17 release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. But, as Gary Coleman taught us, it takes diff'rent strokes to move the world, so far be it from us to withhold the torrent of GT5P news we were bombarded with this morning.
In addition to a full car and track list (which you can find after the break) we learned the North American version will include a Drift Mode, the ability to tune your car, two-player split screen racing and a new set of race events. It's still not enough to justify the $40 price tag for us, but if you're a fan, it sounds like it could be a bargain.

Given the finality of the format war, we can't say we're totally shocked to hear that Samsung will be pulling the plug on its recently announced BD-UP5500 HD DVD / Blu-ray combo player, but still, it's not good news for folks planning to pick it up for kicks (or watching their library of HD DVDs). Interestingly enough, Sammy had already planned to axe its current flagship hybrid player -- the BD-UP5000 -- this May, just months after it went on sale and began taking heat for not meeting expectations. On the plus side, the firm's latest BD-only player was a real gem, so hopefully we'll see lots more where that came from in the future. Oh, and if you're weeping this very moment at the thought of never getting to see one in person, feel free to click here and live vicariously through us.

We warned you that one reason to hold off on boarding the Blu train is that movies released in the past year without sweet BD-Live interactive features might be re-released. A lot of them. Today, we got first confirmation of this from Fox, which told us it'll be re-releasing Alien Vs. Predator later this year with a suite of new interactive features. And that's just the beginning.
Sony Pictures is also reaching in with both hands, though they're "not 100 percent sure [they're] going back on every disc" and will be looking at "different ways [they] can allow people to connect to a BD-Live site" for stuff that's already come out sans the BD Launcher. But they haven't figured that second part out yet.
To be fair, of all the Blu-ray studios, Fox is currently the most pumped about the interactive aspect—a big reason they helped build Blu along with Sony and friends. What Fox is adding doesn't make this a crap double dip, either: It's a multiplayer game woven into the film that you play as it progresses, attacking and killing other players in hopefully the most genuine film interaction to date. Not only do you upload your own avatar, it'll stay in memory and reappear when you buy future AVP titles. Sven Davison, Fox's VP of Worldwide Product Development and Production, said nothing he's seen on HD DVD has come close to this.
Davison also said Fox was looking at three other major franchises for a heavy interactive component. But other studios probably aren't going to be as scrupulous, because they primarily see interactivity as "icing on the cake" rather than potatoes to the 1080p-and-uncompressed-audio meat.
This of course opens the door for nearly everything already on BD to be double-dipped in the coming year—especially in cases like Warner's, since that studio has already launched more interactive versions of movies on HD DVD while simultaneously putting out lower-featured editions on BD. Would this have happened if the 2.0 spec had been mandatory from the start?

We sure liked Resistance. It's a good game! So good that some people wish that they could take it will them on the bus and train and shoot-up aliens. That's be super! But is it going to happen? Insomniac Games bossman Ted Price says:
Sure. I think that's possible... I think Killzone demonstrated that it doesn't have to be a first-person shooter. I think Killzone: Liberation was a fantastic game, but a very different game from the original. Anything is possible.
You heard that? Non FPS Resistance on PSP, cats living with dogs, mass hysteria — anything is possible!

D3Publisher has told Eurogamer that the PS3 "Entitlement" system in Dark Sector is a one off.
It was responding to a rather premature announcement of the Xbox 360 Achievements for the game, which were listed alongside identical PS3 rewards called "Entitlements".
Developer Digital Extremes had been working on this from the outset as a way to reward you for your hard work, according to a spokesperson for the publisher, but it is a system restricted to Dark Sector and not one you will see in other PS3 titles.
Dark Sector is due out in April with a demo likely to appear around that time.
The Achievements / Entitlements can be found below. They total 700, which is bizarre.

Earlier today, SouthPeak Games announced that Edge of Twilight, Fuzzyeyes' upcoming action title that uses Unreal Engine 3, will be released in 2009 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Set in a steampunk inspired world where day and night no longer exist, players take on the role of Lex, a bounty hunter trapped between the conflict of two different civilizations.
"We are very excited to help bring Fuzzyeyes' creative vision to life. The team spent a lot of time developing a comprehensive story to give the universe a history and purpose, which can change based on the players' interaction within the world," said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak. Wei-Yao Lu, CEO of Fuzzyeyes, agreed, stating, "It is energizing to see our unique vision take shape. We are bringing some unusual ideas to the table and so far we couldn't be happier with the results. Gamers should look forward to 2009!"
We'll have more on Edge of Twilight as it becomes available.

You're heard the critics lavish praise on the monochromatic, perspective-twisting goodness of echochrome, and now you PSP owners can finally take the game for a spin. How, you ask? Why, with a free, downloadable demo of course. Our friends at PSP Fanboy have all the instructions.
We hope you dig the demo, because without a release date for the game currently, there's not telling how long you'll need to make this sliver of echochrome last. Enjoy.

The three ages of Sony are as follows; in no particular order.
Firstly, there is Imperious Sony. It’s a majestic, arrogant, successful company with a 50 percent-plus hardware share. It expects absolute fealty from third parties and from the media. Criticism is dealt with harshly and severely. This is not-terribly-nice Sony and we lived with it from about 1997 until 2005. (Hey fellow suffering industry brothers and sisters, we should all get together and write an upsetting biographical account of those terrible years.)
Then there is Pathetic Sony. This is the company we have been working with this past 18 months. It’s doing a crappy job but doesn’t really know how to behave in an appropriately humble manner. It is suffering from a debilitating loss of power and is full of self-doubt, manifest in slightly absurd proclamations of calm.
Finally, there is the Sony that we like and need. It has good products. It generates demand for those products. It has a smart sense of the market in terms of pricing. It makes great games. Its people are accessible and believable. It deals with the rest of us in a way that makes us all feel pally. That was Sony from 1994 to 1997 and, I’m very happy to say, it’s returned to us; as of January 2008 when HD-DVD obligingly ****ed itself out of existence.
I am in San Francisco to reaquaint with former Sega man Scott Steinberg; now VP of product marketing at SCEA. He’s been in the biz forever; right there in the filthy trenches of 1990s Sega. Man, he must have some stories to tell.
Alas, we only have 30 minutes so brandy-by-the-fire reminiscing of those old battles must wait another day. We’re here to look forward to PlayStation 3’s shiny future.

Sony Electronics CEO Stan Glasgow has said in an interview in New York that the PlayStation network is definitely going to spread into "many other" Sony products.
Quick bit of context here as to just who is saying this, Mr Glasgow is president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics Inc (that's worth $11 billion to Sony in the United States).
According to Gizmondo, Glasgow stated that:
"The company is "working very hard" on an answer to Apple TV, though it all seems to center around a Blu-ray player one way or another, and doesn't necessarily rely on the ill-fated Bravia Internet Video Link.
"Sony is "working on many other avenues to deliver downloaded content," like the PlayStation Network which will be "spread that over the next year or so to many other products of Sony."
These other products must be on top of the PSP and PlayStation 3 and could, therefore, include Sony's Bravia TVs (now that the Internet Video Link is dead in the water). It could, of course, also include the Vaio range... and what about the robot animals? We jest.
Whatever it includes, it will certainly be part of the $299 (£150) Blu-ray (not PlayStation) player we will see in 2008 (£100 versions are coming in 2009). "I don't think $200 is going to happen this year. Next year $200 could happen. We'll be at a $300 rate this year. $299 will happen this year", said Glasgow.
He also made mention - albeit incredibly ambiguous mention - of the future of PlayStation. We're going to quote him here - and then we are going to wait for the news aggregators to fill with "PlayStation 4 due in 2008 says Sony Top Guy!"
What Glasgow actually says is, "...there's going to be continual evolvement in the PlayStation line", which is equivalent to saying, "In order to live, we really ought to retain our breathing/lung synergy".

The Famitsu Marketing Data Service sent out its monthly report on videogame sales in Japan. It collected data from January 28th to February 24th. Although Nintendo is still performing extremely well, especially considering Super Smash Bros. Brawl's placement as the number one selling game (with over one million copies sold), Sony hardware and software sales are still notable.
Between the aforementioned dates, Sony pushed 89,131 PS3 units and 38,648 PS2s. Perhaps most surprising is the popularity of the PSP last month, which sold 223,570 units -- just under the DS Lite sales. This gave the PSP a 24 percent market share for hardware sales, only trumped by the DS Lite's 24.8 percent and the Wii's 35.7 percent.
In terms of software sales, Wii titles clearly were the highlight of last month, though Sony's platforms still pushed a fair number. The PS3's cumulative software sales for last month clocked in at 470,100 units, while PSP and the PS2 software came in at 309,400 and 407, 800 units, respectively. Once again, the PSP and its library seem to be performing nicely and PS2 software sales almost match those of the PS3.
Lastly, we see several PlayStation titles in the top 20 best selling games of last month. Included among them are Devil May Cry 4, Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut, Disgaea 3, Assassin's Creed, Warriors Orochi and Monster Hunter Freedom 2.

Everybody clamoring for a cheap Blu-ray player now that the format war is over might wanna bide their time with a sweet DVD upconverter--the $200-player Blu-ray cavalry is at least a year away, according to Sony Electronics CEO Stan Glasgow, who we talked to today in New York. "I don't think $200 is going to happen this year. Next year $200 could happen. We'll be at a $300 rate this year. $299 will happen this year."
No cheap Chinese-made players will be flooding the market to push it down either, not until the BDA decides to license the tech to them, and Glasgow implied it's gonna be a while before that happens. Anyone else wants a license? Sure. But not them, in part it was indicated, because of piracy concerns. Not that the price matters too much right now, since Sony is "struggling to keep up with the demand."
The mighty morphin' PS3 SKU--from 60GB to 40GB, backward-compatible or not--isn't going to stop shape-shifting. When asked "Will there also be another PlayStation with Blu-ray built-in? Glasgow answered that "there's going to be continual evolvement in the PlayStation line" before talking about feature upgrades with software.

Based on Examu's 2006 arcade game, Atlus is bringing Arcana Heart, a 2D fighter bursting with gorgeous brawling anime-style beauties that will make your jaw drop with their looks (or their fists), to North America.
Beyond our world lies that of the Elemental beings, the Arcana. These mighty spirits offer their abilities to the Maidens, those rare humans who are able to communicate with them. Long ago, our worlds were connected. However, the two worlds unexpectedly split apart, and a dimensional boundary was formed between them, separating our world from the Arcana. Seeking to harness their energy, the mysterious Mildred Avalon is trying to form a rift in the boundary and merge the worlds once more. Should her plan succeed, life on our world will never be the same again. Only the Maidens, with the help of their Arcana, can prevent her from bringing an end to all humanity.
Beauty is in the black eye of the beholder!

The SingStar series has had unprecedented success across the globe, which is why Sony seem to love throwing a new SingStar game at us every few weeks. In what is one of the most unsurprising stories of the year, Eurogamer has confirmed that Sony has yet another SingStar game lined up for the PlayStation 2, entitled Summer Party. Unsurprisingly, the thirty-strong tracklist has a distinct summer vibe, including the likes of Amy Winehouse, Blur and, of course, the mighty Lou Bega.
The game is currently set for a release in Europe on the 25th of April - however, due to the obvious seasonal differences, things may be different for Australia. Sony haven't mentioned about the tracklist making it to the PS3 SingStore as of yet, but we imagine they will show up sooner rather than later, as some of the tracks listed here are available for download already.
Since we know you're so curious, here is the full tracklist.
* Adele - Chasing Pavements
* Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
* Blondie - The Tide is High
* Blur - Girls & Boys
* Booty Luv - Shine
* Chesney Hawkes - The One & Only
* David Bowie - Let's Dance
* Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out
* Dirty Pretty Things - Bang Bang You're Dead
* Dodgy - Good Enough
* Elton John - I'm Still Standing
* Five Star - System Addict
* Girls Aloud - Call The Shots
* Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
* Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet
* KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
* Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)
* Madness - House of Fun
* Mel & Kim - Respectable
* Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)
* Peter Andre - Mysterious Girl
* Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah
* Pulp - Disco 2000
* Razorlight - In The Morning
* Rihanna - Umbrella
* Sugababes - Red Dress
* Texas - Summer Son
* Toto - Hold The Line
* Wham! - Club Tropicana
* Yazz - The Only Way Is Up

With the PlayStation 2 port of High Impact's excellent PSP take on the Ratchet & Clank series just a week away, the official PlayStation Blog posts some details about the game's multiplayer. PS2 Size Matters takes the same amusing multiplayer functionality from the PSP version and splits it in two for split-screen goodness between you and a friend. You get four maps - Island Escape, Danger Valley, Mega Cannons, and Moon Cow Disease - complete with the Iron Lombax special challenges for each map. Personally I miss my R&C online multiplayer, but how much can you really expect from a $29.99 port of a PSP game?

We've heard nothing on the Getaway since 2006's Game Developer Conference. And two years with no news usually means a canned game, but Sony has broken its silence just in time.
The good news is that it's still very much in development, or so says screenplay writer Katie Ellwood.
The demo shown at GDC '06, featuring a scene in Piccadilly Circus in central London, looked so good (see here) that Sony had to move the camera around in real-time to abolish suspicion that it was all fake.
"The Next Gen of consoles have liberated us in other ways," says Ellwood. "There are wider possibilities to use that processing power and tell a story during the game play," she said, talking of the creativity generally afforded by the more advanced consoles.
"We can stream a wider variety of dialogue and animations to progress the story and characterisation rather than breaking the flow of the game play for a cutscene. If games are about immersion, then we are now about to deepen that immersion," commented Ellwood.
Speaking more specifically about Getaway PS3, she revealed that Sony is "talking to production houses about a movie for the third game in the Getaway series."
Ellwood explains: "The story and game script for this one is very exciting, as is the writer we have on board. I'm afraid I can't give any further information, other than to say: watch this space."
But when will it be out? Elwood gave no hints, but it doesn't seem like it'll hit its 2008 release as originally tipped. Still, that's probably a good thing, what with that little game known as GTA coming out this year...

It's nice to know that Sony Ericsson is plugging away on making our crazy, dare-to-dream fantasies a reality. The latest proof that someone up there (and by up there, we mean Japan) likes us comes in the form of a new patent for a touchscreen handheld that forgoes physical buttons for a haptic-feedback scheme. The design mandates that the phone / game device would be free of the pesky clutter of regular buttons, and would instead by configurable to any number of forms (PSP, phone, MP3 player, digital camera) by arrangement of on-screen controls. The device would vibrate in accordance with button-presses, though it's unclear whether this will just be a standard vibration, or a more advanced, location-specific feedback system. Even with a little buzz, we're not quite sure you can replicate the feeling real gaming controls provide -- and that could seriously interfere with our typical success in games.

VMP has an official site up now, and you can grab a video here. It's a hex-based strategy RPG for those who don't know - more coverage here. Plenty of wallpapers as well, if you like those! There's also a glossery of the game's masters, and a bestiary of sorts. The PSP version will have four modes now, scenario mode, expert mode, free battle mode, and network mode, which of course allows network battles over the adhock wireless.

New from Play Asia:
description
The ancient world speaks of a mortal that slayed a God. But long before his battle with Ares, Kratos sought absolution from his past sins by pledging himself as a champion to the Gods. These brutal crusades in the name of Olympus became legendary.
The Ghost of Sparta is now ordered by the Gods to journey the underworld, after the world plunges into darkness. There he must face the most feared creatures of Greek Mythology and forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction.

Charnold has updated his editor for PSP Dungeons:
I've made 2 small changes to the editor:
1) now you can put a light inside a component (wasn't possible before, because the component blocked the lightrays, the component is lit by the light inside it)
2) you can have open areas now: means, you can calculate the lightmaps now for sealed and open areas
- "for sealed areas" works like before, it removes outside polygons, use this for sealed rooms
- "for open areas" doesn't remove outside polygons, use this for open areas only :-)

Over a year (yeah, really) after this thing was originally announced, Nyko has finally slid the final piece in place in order to offer up the rumbling, bumbling Zero Wireless PS3 controller to end users. Granted, the version hitting shelves as we speak does include rumble, but since you've waited this long, you're probably better off getting the real deal when it lands in April -- for $5 less. Still, those who actually prefer 3rd party kit can look forward to being $59.99 poorer and receiving 25 hours of play on a full charge, LED-backlit buttons, "heat-dissipating aluminum panels (saywha?)," and your choice of black, white or silver.

We can only assume that Blu-ray's victory in the format war pushed this particular Briton over the edge and made him truly believe that the PS3 is in fact "the best console ever made" -- his words, not ours. Quite frankly, we're not sure exactly how much alcohol was involved in making this decision, but we're going to assume that it's just a matter of time before he gets three more to one-up this fellow.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is taking an experimental approach to embedding digital copies of its movies on DVD, including offering a half-dozen catalog titles exclusively through Wal-Mart and two DVD premieres to the entire market.
Since late last month, Wal-Mart has been exclusively offering six Sony catalog titles that come loaded with a digital copy for playback on the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3 and the PC. The embedded copies—within Blood & Chocolate, Bobby Z, The Contractor, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and Wind Chill—all expire within three to six months of going on sale at Wal-Mart. Additionally, titles may be offered widely at retail after 30 to 60 days. Wal-Mart has priced the discs at $13.72.
In order to enjoy these copies, buyers register online using an individual code that is included in the DVD. That registration will notify people about whether the file has timed out or not. Sony reserves the right to extend the life of the file at any time.
One possible benefit to a short-view copy is the ability to curb rampant file-sharing or copyright infringement.
In January, Sony also offered a copy embedded in the two-disc special edition of Resident Evil: Extinction exclusively at Wal-Mart.
At the same time, Sony is marketing digital copies on the DVD premieres Hero Wanted and Diamond Dogs, both due April 29. The digital files on these titles appear not to expire after a limited time.
Sony is unique among studios testing digital copy in its use of catalog and DVD premiere titles. Warner Home Video and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment are plugging files into major new releases, including March 18 release I Am Legend and April 15 release Juno, respectively.
Sony also is the only studio so far to steer those files to play on Sony gaming consoles. Plus, it is pioneering the placement of limited-view files.
“We are testing the whole concept right now,” said Lexine Wong, Sony senior executive VP of worldwide marketing. “There are space requirements to include files, so we’re choosing titles that don’t feature a lot of bonus features [in order to fit copies]. Also, we’re choosing titles that would resonate with customers that like PSP, with [action] titles like Diamond Dogs and Hero Wanted.”
Sony is additionally angling for a one-two punch using digital copy to elevate both the value of DVDs and the PSP. Although a hit for gaming, the PSP has struggled as a movie playback device. Sony is the only major studio releasing new film content for the PSP, which is produced by sister unit Sony Computer Entertainment. MTV also has licensed certain TV programs for the console.
To watch a Sony copy on PSP, people insert the DVD into their computer and transfer the file onto a memory stick. That drive device is then plugged into the PSP, which stores the movie file for playback. It is a similar process to watch the copy on the PS3.
Already, Sony is buoyed by the results of its experimentation. Although it was not offered everywhere, Resident Evil generated 30,000 copy transfers from the DVD.
“We are really excited, where the [copy] concept is letting us manage the convergence between packaged media and digital downloads,” said Wong. “This is added value.”

News/release from Freeplay:
Use this tool to build a customized pspbtcnf.bin file for firmwares not supported by PSPBTEdit.
I designed this tool because I didn't have any way to load plugins in APP mode on 3.90m33-2... and Go! Messenger runs in APP mode.
As with most of my releases, the source is included. Thanks to Dark_AleX for information about the new pspbtcnf format; this wouldn't have been possible without that. (Well, maybe it would be... but it would've taken a little longer.)
Usage: btcnf <pspbtcnf file> -build | -extract -b | -e
-e | -extract: extract pspbtcnf file to pspbcnf.txt
-b | -build: build pspbtcnf file from pspbtcnf.txt
The pspbtcnf.txt file should be pretty straightforward; it's just a list of modules paired with a list of modes each module is loaded in.
Valid modes are VSH, Game, Updater, POPS, and App, abbreviated as V, G, U, P, and A. To make a module load in one of these modes, just add it to the list after the module name. They can be in any order, upper/lower case, doesn't matter.
Here are a few examples:
$/kd/hpremote_02g.prx VGUPA
$/kd/openpsid.prx VGPA
$/kd/usb.prx VGA
$/kd/ata.prx VGU
$/kd/umdcache.prx G
$/kd/mgr.prx VPA
$/kd/msaudio.prx V
$/kd/np9660.prx A
$/kd/vshbridge.prx VU

Having taken a long break, the Chinese Poison returned to the scene with his CXMB, plugin to load alternative themes without writing anything in the Psp flash0. And then with the total absence of possible brick console.
Notes installation CXMB for 3.90M33:
Thanks Red_Squirrel for tracking and guidance.
Quote:
- Copy the folder in CXMB Root Memory Stick.
- Through a Psar Dumper extract (and decrypted!) The following files dall'eboot of 3.90: paf.prx, common_gui.prx and vshmain.prx.
- Enter the three files in the folder inside the folder SUPPORT CXMB.
- Check out an unofficial theme for CF 3.90M33 and put it into folders respectively FONT VSH and that always found in the CXMB (as with previous versions).
- Once activated by the plugin cxmb.prx Recovery, the PSP and restart Windows automatically creates a file called Default.ctf in the PSP / THEME (it will take a few minutes, so do not be afraid if you start the PSP screen impalla black, the important thing is that led Power and MS flash!).
- V will get new custom theme!

News/release from billylee8:
About PSP Kanji Learner:
I wasn't able to duplicate my old flash card study method with other programs available (not just on the PSP but on the PC as well), and I couldn't be bothered to learn C, so I did the next best thing and made my flash cards with videos - something I have ample experience with.
I realized this would work on the PSP because of the sequential video playback feature included in firmware 3.70; when "Shuffle" is selected, the same video won't play twice, and the sequential playback will end when all the videos in a folder are played.
Since these flash cards are videos (each individual card can range from 130 KB to 160 KB), this might not be considered "homebrew," but I *would* call it an app. Also, because this is essentially a set videos, YOU DO NOT NEED CUSTOM FIRMWARE.
How to use:
Each card has a front and a back side.
On the front, you'll have the grade level and the stroke count. You'll also have entries for the following:
- Unicode: ("U____") For example, on the kanji card for "kawa" (river), you'll see "U5ddd". If you only want to type that one character, just type in "5ddd" in a word processor, hit "Alt+X", and "5ddd" will turn into the kanji.
- Classic Nelson entry number ("N____")
- New Nelson entry number ("V____")
- Halpern New Japanese-English Character Dictionary Index ("H____")
- Halpern Kanji Learner's Dictionary Index ("DK____")
On the back, you'll have the on-yomi readings (written in katakana), the kun-yomi readings (written in hiragana), and the English key word as provided by the KLD.
The numbers of the file names of the videos themselves refer to the kanji's entry in the Kanji Learner's Dictionary.
There are two sets of each video card; when you play a card from "Side A", the front side of the card will play for 5 seconds, followed by a sound and the back side will play for 5 seconds. When you play a card from "Side B", the reverse will happen. If you need more time, press Start to pause. This double-sided approach was lacking in other programs; if you have all the info (i.e. kanji, readings, and meanings) on one side, you're obviously not going to be able to test yourself on anything! Also, most people don't have too much trouble reading and pronouncing kanji in context, but what gets EVERYONE is being able to recall the correct kanji and write it from memory (making "Side B", IMO, invaluable).
When I was learning new kanji, I'd learn 20 new kanji a week while reviewing the old ones. It turns out that method has a name: The Leitner System.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashcard
You are, of course, free to choose exactly which and how many kanji you want to test yourself on. When the full 1945-card set is finished, you'll easily be able to make more sets using copies of the same cards - useful for having sets with kanji that look similar, or sets entirely consisting of those pesky Japanese homophones.
Release schedule:
I'll try to create cards for 20 new kanji every day or every other day; no more (I'll need time to maintain the quality with triple checking... as well as maintain my sanity), and no less (because I want to get done with this sometime in my life). Of course, I won't actually release them until I reach some sort of milestone (e.g. the complete set of a grade).

News/release from Andyauff:
Algebra/Calculus Assistant Version 0.2
Coded in lua by andyauff
----------------------------------------------------
CHANGELOG:
Version 0.2
--Got rid of the find slope and y-intercept option and replaced it with the equation conversions (standard to y-intercept
and vice versa). The standard to y-intercept still says the slope and y-intercept, though.
--Added function to find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix
--Added function to simplify any fraction into its simplest form
Version 0.1 (Initial Release)
-Features:
--Find slope and y-intercept of a line in standard form
--Find determinant of a 2x2 matrix
--Find determinant of a 3x3 matrix
--Find the solution to a system of 2 equations with 2 variables
-----------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS IT?
This is a simple lua application for the PSP that has 7 useful mathematical functions built into it.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
These are the 7 functions built into the program:
1) Convert equations from standard form to y-intercept form
2) Convert equations from y-intercept form to standard form
3) Find the determinant of a 2x2 matrix
4) Find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix
5) Find the solution to a system of 2 equations with 2 variables*
6) Find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix
7) Simplify a fraction
* This means that it finds the intersection of two lines in standard form
That's just about it. The controls are simple and there are some in-application controls instructions too.
Hope you find it useful!

Flavor announced in our Forums that he has now released his NeogeoPocket Colour Emulator for the PSP.
Heres the release details
I must let you know that I have been sidetracked lately with fixing up the PSP version of RACE!. It is now in a state that I think is ready for release. It seems to run all NGPC ROMs just fine, thought it does have a couple graphical and audio glitches with a select few ROMs. Hopefully, sometime in the next few days, I think you might find it in the usual PSP homebrew/emulator places.

I've been playing (replaying parts) of God of War: Chains of Olympus on the Playstation Portable for a week or so now and so far it strikes me as one of the best games to hit the system to date. I'm about five hours in, nearing the end of the game, I believe, and there's really not much to complain about. Sure, it's God of War on a PSP, but what more would you expect? Yes, a review is coming Monday.
If you didn't get the free Demo on UMD when it came out, you can still grab it directly over on the Playstation Store. I point this out because the downloadable demo isn't exactly easy to find and some of you may not have realized it's out there.

Over at Neogaf (Which is a forum that the Gaming Industry seem to use as their forums) Rlan posted this rather sad viewpoint on the PSP:
With the recent discussions of piracy for the PC (seen here), I thought it might be interesting to see similar numbers for the other, possibly easiest thing to pirate ever console - the PSP.
The PSP can be turned into a pirating machine purely by installing Custom Firmware - other uses include a Playstation Player to play your own PSOne games on the thing [Which is what I used it for] or use emulators for other consoles like Megadrive, SNES, or even just applications for taking PSP images, DivX playback. etc, or purely homebrew applications of games.
Incidentily, I know a dude who got a job as a games programmer purely by some of the homebrew games he was working on in the PSP!
Anyhow, we know PSPs are selling but the software really isn't. So I went to a Torrent site (Don't think I can mention it anyway) which has a number of people who have downloaded the torrent file from that site directly - so this is just one site.
Let's have a look. I decided to choose some recent big games that were released, some of the bigger games of last year, and some games which were critically acclaimed but sold like shit.
God of War: Chains of Olympus - 94,154
Patapon - 112,183
Ratchet & Clank - Size Matters - 197,113
Crush - 48,959
LOCO ROCO - 163,904
Wipeout Pulse - 116,965
Castlevania X Chronicles - 102,354
Metal Gear Solid - Portable Ops (Not Including Plus) - 231,054
Burnout Dominator - 269,486
This is just one website, not including private trackers that keep to themselves or many other huge download portals, and I'm sure some torrents were taken down from this website anyhow (Looking up either GTA PSP games brought back very small numbers), but even then this is pretty big.
Is there anything Sony can do about this? Maybe cheaper prices? It's really like the Dreamcast all over again, except this time we have internet speeds that can actually download games in a minimum amount of time. Discuss.
Remember that Piracy ruins it for everyone including yourself, game makers are more likely to move to a console where piracy is less of a problem

March 9th, 2008, 21:56 Posted By: wraggster
nikkelitous posted this rather informative article for those who cant understand why the PS3 hasnt been hacked fully yet:
"Why isn't the PS3 broken already?” We hear this every day. Someone somewhere thinks they can write a better media player with HD support. A guy wants to release his game but needs the RSX for the amazing graphics it can generate. Why can't we just tear open the PS3 solder a few wires and be done with it? The answer is both simpler and more complicated than you might expect.
The PSP, the Wii, even the Xbox 360 have all been hacked and can run homebrew applications so everybody thinks "the PS3 should be just as easy.” The PS3 in some ways is as easy, in fact easier. No other console let you install Linux and run anything you want to. Sure Linux on the PS3 is great. You can write your own code and use it. You have the largest collection of applications anywhere (thats right, WAY more than Windows). It's all free (or at a very low cost).
But it's limited. You can't touch the RSX (The very powerful graphics chip in the PS3), you can't use the full hard drive, and nothing is really optimized for the PS3's fantastic Cell processor, this means that what should be fast and easy tends to be slow and cumbersome. In fact, DVD playing which can be done on any modern computer is a monumental task in PS3 Linux.
The major problem is that the PS3 isn't any other console. The PS3 is different in many huge and terrifying ways. First, lets compare the PS3. I know you may think "Why compare the PS3 to the PSP? Why not the 360 or the Wii? The answer is simple, the PSP is another Sony product and if we can break one Sony product why not another? The PSP is hacked, it's true. In fact, it was hacked almost as soon as it was released!
Why? Because the PSP didn't have any security protections in the first version: Thats right! It essentially ran anything that you put on it. You could install any program from day 1 (Mind you, no programs existed at the outset, but in time they became common.)
Now you may say "But they added security in the next version and that was hacked very quickly”. I agree with you here, the PSP now has a very powerful security system, but like the Greeks, we had people inside. Once a system is hacked and understood, very little can be used to continue to protect it. In other words, the moment the PSP was uncovered and investigated any future security measures would be trivial to remove and disarm. This proved true and to this day we have each version of the PSP firmware hacked and able to run homebrew within a few weeks.
Now, the Wii, homebrew for the Wii has been slower than expected, not because it's incredibly difficult to do, but because most developers don't see a reason. The Wii has been hacked, but it's almost exclusively used to play copied games.
Most homebrew, in fact, runs in the gamecube emulator built into the Wii. The only reason that developers were interested ing the Wii at all is the controller. Once the controller was found to be connectible to any computer (and even to the PS3) developers lost interest.
"But the Wii has still been hacked, lack of interest isn't an excuse for the PS3 being difficult”. That's true, it isn't, but there is a valid excuse. The Wii isn't a full upgrade of all the technologies in the GameCube, in fact, it's almost identical except for a few upgrades. The GameCube has been hacked for a long time and with the Wii being so similar it was a trivial matter to map out the exact differences.
"The 360” some may cry out "it's on par with the PS3 and has been hacked as well.” It's true, several hacks for the 360 exist, and some of them are actually monumentally difficult and fascinating. The first hack is rather simple actually. The 360 uses standard DVD disks for it's games. This means that duplicators exist widely for the 360s media, it also meant that people understand it very well. Sadly, the 360 was broken first by simply fooling the DVD drive to bypass all checks to ensure that a game wasn't copied.
Again it came from lack of security on the original version of the console. The DVD drive was easily put into "debug” mode and forced to reveal all it's secrets. Later versions of the console have rectified this with a newer drive. This hack is simply not possible for the PS3 because it's not using a DVD drive it's using a custom Blu-ray drive, we can't simply copy the disks, and we don't know enough about the firmware on the drive to accomplish a "debug mode” even if it's on there.
This wasn't the only hack to hit the 360. Momentarily vulnerable kernels have happened twice, where a bug in the firmware enabled homebrew to be run, each time, though, Microsoft closed the hole in the next version (which was usually released before the hack was really publicized). This is possible for the PS3, but we haven't yet found one of those bugs.
Remember: Only 2 of all the updates the 360 has had have been broken, all the others are still secure.
Only recently has the "timing” or "ultimate” attack on the 360 come to fruition. By counting the time it takes for the 360 to crash when confronted with code which is not valid the "hash” of a particular set of data can be found. This enables you to move back to one of the older firmwares and hack your 360. However, you are still unable to access the xbox live service until you return to a higher version.
Mind you, this hack is INCREDIBLY difficult to do and requires a specially designed mod-chip and several hours for your 360 to reset repeatedly until you can downgrade putting this hack well above the average user. (To the 360 hackers, I am sorry for simplifying your brilliant hack so much, but this article isn't just to sceners, it's to everyone.)
"It's still a hack.” Well thats true, the 360 IS hacked. And it will probably only get further hacked as time goes on. But you must remember, the 360 was out for a full year longer than the PS3 and it has less security than the PS3 (which actually has a special "police” program running constantly to ensure that the PS3 remains secure). More time and less security mean that it's easier to break open.
"Well, fine then, when can we expect a PS3 hack?” Thats a good question but it's very hard to answer. You see, we have many expert hackers trying to break open the PS3 and eventually they will, the problem is that there are many groups of hackers who aren't communicating or sharing information. This means that many hackers are repeating work that another hacker has already done, or that may be useless due to information that another group may have discovered.
While many groups have claimed hacks, none have actually provided any proof, instead we get videos like the recent ICE video and we get excuses. They may very well have incredibly valuable information, but none of it is shared so it's hard to get anything out of it. Paradox may have a loader but no way of running it on the latest PS3 firmware, while another group may have a hack enabling code to be run on the latest firmware, but nothing to run on it.
"Why aren't they sharing?” Typically, the reason they don't want to share is glory. They want to be "first” they want to be "best” they want to be the Dark Alex or DVD Jon or Arnezami of the PS3. They want first dibs and for that, we all suffer. While each group has different skills, I don't think that any scene group is really better than any other.
I think that any group stands an equal chance of finding that hole, because like stumbling around blindly after a treasure, someone is bound to stub their toe on it eventually. But if all groups were to work together, we could pinpoint the treasure, and the beauty of this treasure, is that every PS3 owner wins.

Breathe in deep and you can catch a waft of GTA IV in the air - it's closing in fast.
But in the meantime, Rockstar's playing keepy-uppy with the hype machine and released 15 new screenshots, one of which is so amazingly cool we're seriously considering using it to ice our drinks. We'll leave you to guess which one it is...
Two new mini-trailers can also be seen on this here page in our video player.
Anyway, April 29 is that all-important date. Toward the end of last month we sneaked into Rockstar HQ for a two-hour hands-on session with the sequel - read our in-depth follow-up report here.

While Apple continues to market the iPhone as a 3-in-1 device -- web, phone, and iPod -- it's clear that Jobs has a 4th market clearly in his sights. It's no accident that EA and Sega were both selected to demonstrate their skills with the iPhone SDK during last week's press event. Now Gameloft, the worldwide number one mobile game publisher in terms of revenues -- has committed to developing games for the iPhone. "Over 15 titles" are expected in 2008, in fact. Oh iPhone, is there anything you can't do with your 3D processor, multi-touch display, and 3-axis accelerometer? Oh right, GPS, 3G data, corporate Exchange, A2DP Bluetooth audio, MMS, ... you get the idea.
Update: John Carmac -- co-founder of Id Software -- just commented that, "We (Id) have put in our application like everybody else." So yeah, it'll play Doom... officially this time.

PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of "casual" video games, today announced the imminent arrival at retail of a new PopCap Hits compilation for PlayStation 2 featuring two of the company's best-selling puzzle and "arcade action" games. PopCap Hits Volume 2 features Heavy Weapon and Zuma, carries an SRP of US$19.95, and marks the first time that those two games have been made available for PlayStation consoles. PopCap Hits Volume 2 is expected to hit store shelves in June 2008.
"We're pleased to be bringing our second PlayStation2 'greatest hits' compilation to stores so quickly after the first volume, and expect the upcoming product to be even more popular with consumers," said Greg Canessa, VP of Video Game Platforms at PopCap. "Heavy Weapon and Zuma are two of our most successful games on the Xbox Live Arcade Service, and should prove equally well received by the PlayStation 2 audience."
Zuma is a fast-paced action puzzler requiring quick reflexes and pattern-solving strategy as players rotate the stone frog at the center of the screen to shoot colored balls into place. Make sets of three or more balls to succeed - and don't let the chain of balls reach the golden skull! Zuma is also available for Xbox 360, PC, Mac, online and select mobile devices. Zuma is also the highest-rated game for iPod, based on iTunes' customer reviews.
Heavy Weapon is a light-hearted side-scrolling action game in which players strive to defeat hordes of enemy armies in the form of tanks, jeeps, fighter jets, helicopters and other land and air vehicles. Power-ups and secret weapons that provide additional speed, shields, firepower and more help the player overcome increasingly nasty enemy forces and bosses while progressing through levels representing the oppressed (fictitious) countries over which the war is being waged. Multiplayer modes available for the PlayStation 2 version of the game enable players to join a friend for furious shoot-'em-up fighting in multiplayer Arms Race and War Party modes. In addition, PopCap Hits Volume 2 provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access in "The Making of a Classic." Explore early game concepts, high-res game art, and video clips featuring development history and tips from the games' creators.

In the face of Microsoft's Xbox 360 price reduction, Sony will be feeling pressured to drop the price of its home console to continue recent sales momentum, according to analyst firm Strategy Analytics.
However, as with other industry experts, the company believes Sony is likely to wait until later in the year before cutting the price of the PlayStation 3 in Europe.
"Sony will be nervous that the PS3's recent sales surge may fizzle out now that the premium Xbox 360 undercuts the PS3 by GBP 40, and the cheapest Xbox model is almost half the price of the PS3," commented principle analyst David Mercer.
"Sony will be scrutinising the daily sales reports, but will probably try to hold out until later in the year before making its next price move," he said.
Following Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division making a profit in the last two quarters, Mercer said that the company must continue to cut manufacturing costs to sustain profit.
"Microsoft must continue to drive cost out of console manufacturing in order to sustain these improvements in financial performance," he said.

The sequel to hit PS3 racer MotorStorm will feature monster trucks, according to the latest edition of Official PlayStation Magazine.
Scans of the relevant article appearing on the Internet claim a new trailer is about to be released. We're told to "keep an eye out for the way unseated drives try to dodge cartwheeling vehicles", observe "how a truck plows through a wooden structure" and take note of "the addition of water hazards".
Apparently more players will be able to compete in online races and yep, you'll have the option to drive monster trucks.
As previously reported, the MotorStorm sequel is set on a tropical island and is said to be looking lush. An official title has yet to be announced, and there's no word on a release date - but expect more news very soon.

Sony has announced that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be released on Blu-ray and PSN at the end of the month.
The Blu-ray version will retail for GBP 24.99 in silly old shops from 28th March - a Friday (and not a Wednesday as Sony originally stated).
But those of you with PSN can get it a day earlier on Thursday 27th March, when the weekly update will include a downloadable version of the game.
"PSN and Blu-ray prices are the same," a Sony spokesperson told Eurogamer.
Also available on 28th March, if you haven't even got a PS3, is a bundle including the 40GB version of the console and the Blu-ray game for GBP 299.99.
GT5 Prologue is a mini Gran Turismo 5 featuring 71 cars, 1080p visuals, online racing for up to 16 players and a "Gran Turismo TV" channel through PSN which keeps you up to date with global motorsport.
As Sony states, "The complete Gran Turismo 5 launches in 2009", but in the meantime this ought to keep you busy, with our own Rob Fahey devouring the Japanese version gratefully earlier this year.
Look out for a full review soon.

How important are graphics in the scheme of game design? Do they trump audio? Level design? Gameplay? Peer pressure probably dictates that we downplay the importance of graphics, but the impact of eye candy cannot be understated. Anyone believing differently need only take a cursory glance at comments made by readers in reaction to news that NIS America would bring the third game in its popular console strategy franchise Disgaea to the PlayStation 3 this August.
The reactions were made not to the game's release date, but rather to the title's appearance, which despite calling Sony's latest console home, look very much the part of a last gen release. Recently we caught up with the publisher's marketing coordinator Jack Niida, and asked him a number of questions about the game, including just what's the deal with Disgaea 3's lack of visual fidelity.
"It's simply because PS2 lacks the processing power and memory capacity to support Disgaea 3," Jack told us. "PS2 could not load the same amount of data on to memory and process it like the PS3; therefore, we decided to develop it for the next-gen platform." He added that "the character sprites for Disgaea 3 take 3~4 times the amount of labor to create compared to Disgaea 2," and the team is "doing our best to improve the sprites."
While you mull over that justification, and decided if it's enough of a reason to continue to look forward to Disgaea 3's release this fall, look for our complete interview with NIS America later this week.

SEGA has told Eurogamer that the release date for PS3 and Xbox 360 title Condemned 2: Bloodshot has slipped to 4th April.
It follows similar news from last week that saw the brutal first-person action title slip from mid to late March.
Bloodshot pops you in the tattered boots of Ethan Thomas, the returning special agent who has fallen on hard times since the end of the first game. But the authorities need his underground contacts and unique approach to hunt some serial killers. So back to work he goes.
He smells, but will enjoy more complex hand-to-hand combat and better investigation mechanics this time around. There's also lots of multiplayer modes to get stuck into which, among other things, impressed us when we went hands-on with it recently.

When it comes to the music/rhythm genre, Harmonix' Greg LoPiccolo doesn't think developers will be limited to releasing new songs every year but can continue to evolve the gameplay.
"Our problem is more like choosing between the different opportunities that we want to pursue," he told GamesIndustry.biz. "There are a couple of specific directions that we'd like to go."
One of the directions LoPiccolo spoke of was the ability for users to create their own music.
"We would like to make it possible for people to introduce their own music into the Rock Band ecosystem, which is a pretty complicated topic.
"It isn't easy to achieve - there are IP issues, ratings issues, and so forth. So there are a lot of things to work through to get that to work, but that seems like a natural direction for the franchise to move.
"We'd love to have it be a vehicle for people to be able to express themselves in terms of creating their own music and bringing it to a wider audience."
LoPiccolo is also interested in providing more personal self-expression within the constraints of the Rock Band game.
"Right now, the game does a really good job in bonding players together. That emotional feeling you get if you are in a band and you are succeeding is really powerful and we're very pleased that it worked as well as it did," he explained.
"But we think there is a lot more potential for personal self-expression within that envelope. You can see just little bits and pieces of it - there are drum fills, rock endings.
"There are ways for people to play distinctive roles and express themselves, but only a tiny fraction of the overall experience. We see a lot of potential for expanding that."
The VP of product development for Harmonix thinks that the music selection will evolve into a spectrum of purchasing opportunities over time - similar to the way consumers purchase songs via iTunes or entire CDs at retail.
LoPiccolo also acknowledged that they have been getting a lot of requests for expanding the instruments to include a keyboard.
"Who knows? It may happen one day. It is actually conceptually pretty difficult to build in.
"Most consoles are set up for four peripherals, not five, which means you have to drop something. Which means that the song offering is more complicated.
"You know, it is a big commitment. And then the question is, are there enough rock songs with compelling keyboard parts to make it worthwhile? And maybe the answer is yes, but we've been pretty busy and we haven't really gotten there yet."
The complete interview with Greg LoPiccolo can be read here.

With everyone eager to see what Sony might have in the pipeline for the PSN overhaul confirmed for April, every 14-year-old prankster with Photoshop skills in the land looks to be trying to fool the internet. Here's one of the first.
The image below, sent to Kotaku by an anonymous "developer, claims to be yet another first glimpse at the new store.
It all looks very slick, but as Kotaku points out, inaccuracies in minor branding details such as the spelling of "Little Big Planet" (which should be LittleBigPlanet) and "Playstation Store" (officially PLAYSTATION Store) surely exposes it as a fake?
SCEA's director of product development has already said on the record that the new PSN will be about simplification, "cutting down on the number of mouse clicks, making it easier to find stuff that you want to find... that's kind of an outgrowth of us having more content now, so we have to make sure that you can get at it easily."
It was a nice try, though.

The April issue of US video game magazine Game Informer features the first information on Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming action RPG Alpha Protocol. The game is in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC and SEGA currently has the game pegged for a spring 2009 release.
According to a poster on the Obsidian forums who's already got hold of the magazine, the game is set in the modern day and features plenty of espionage-focused action in the same vein as James Bond, Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer.
Players will take control of Michael Thornton, a fully trained but rookie operative whose world is turned upside down when a mission goes badly wrong and he is forced work off the grid.
The battle system is said to borrow elements from Mass Effect, with an emphasis on real-time gun play and high-tech gadgetry. The action will play out in a third-person perspective.
The player will also have 10 skills and 10 ranks for each, including enhancements to shooting accuracy and improvements in the way the character can judge situations. The Mass Effect similarities keep coming, with a deep dialog system promised that relies on the player dictating their character's tone in a conversation, such as cool, suave, brash and impatient.
It's a large game too, with missions taking place in countries across the globe. The magazine also promises plenty of subplots involving women - think James Bond.
Alpha Protocol is still around a year from release, but it's already sounding like one to look out for in 2009.

We know Metal Gear Solid 4 is going for the gritty realistic look, but they may have overdone it with the green hue a little in these shots.
It may look like the whole game is set under a sea of jasmine tea, but we've all seen the game in motion (here, if you're one of the few that hasn't) and it looks incredible.
One shot also shows how the new little RC robots will be of assistance to Snake. The program he's watching looks boring though. We'd have some Takeshi's Castle on the go.
June 12 is the official release date in both US and UK.

"In the US, I think it will be close all year, with 360 outselling PS3 most months due to its lower price points (at least as long as it remains lower priced)," Pachter told videogaming247. "Sony gains a huge competitive advantage when HD monitor sales pick up at holiday, as I expect retailers to push PS3 as a Blu-ray player to anyone buying an HD monitor. By year-end, I
think PS3 will outsell the 360 in the US by a little.
"PS3 will likely outsell the 360 in Europe by 20-40 percent, and will kill 360 in Japan."

News/release from DF:
This is my first test on the PSP. Its basically the same state as the GP2X port right now. Its more to see how different the PSP runs (button presses are way different between PSP and GP2X)...
The psp verison is compiled with -D_PSP_FW_VERSION=371 but I dont know if it will run on a slim.
I have the directory in my GAME150 folder but if someone wants to test on a slim with GAME3xx etc and let me know that would be cool! (I only have a fat psp running 390m33-2).
Yeah the title screen doesnt match the name, since each of my ports (GP2X, PC, GP32, PSP) has a different title screen as a development name.
Whats missing, the combat engine really (its going to be a AD&D gold box like, think pool of radiance, etc).
So right now you can wander around, talk to NPC's, buy stuff.. etc...
Right now I know if you press home and 'no' the screen stays black.. and pressing home makes the screen go black.. I've got conflicts with my exit callback or something...
my development blog for it is here
http://www.mega-tokyo.com/blog/index...gory/Fishguts/
on with the config!
key configuration;
General
=======
HOME - Quit out
START - Menu (save/other funcs)

Updated release from Art:
Hi Guys,
This is the Time Baby V12h release with MP3 player.
Please let me know if there are any problems with the MP3 Player.
I tried to implement Intrafont for the mp3 title scrolling which worked,
but stuffed up the rest of the graphics, so unfortunately, I had to remove it,
and use the plain text. It still looks nice scrolling though.
I'm obviously doing something wrong because I was unable to use it with Road Dog either.
Quote:
V12h (11/03/08):
- Inverted highlighting for mp3 file browser is easier to see in sunlight.
- Title display scrolling enhancement in mp3 Player subdisplay mode.
- Reordered sub display modes for more logical progression.
If the attached configuration file is used, the MP3 Player is clocked at 333/333/166 MHz
instead of 280/280/140 MHz.
You can save and load settings to and from this config file normally.
Donate a 32Mb Memory Stick and see your nick in the intro screen!

There's some murmuring around the internet forums, with a (supposedly) leaked PowerPoint presentation regarding upcoming PSP accessories. While none of this information has been confirmed (Sony gave the usual "no comment"), we can compare this leaked information to what we already know.
First, Sony announced a new Skype headset which should arrive any time now. An updated Media Manager is certainly unknown, but also long overdue. A new travel case would also be welcomed, particularly for the new PSP-2000, which doesn't have a long line of accessories. The last bit involves the GPS coming to the United States, which has no official price at this time. It's all rumors and speculation, but it's all what you're waiting for. Maybe.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the launch of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters on PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. This hugely successful title, which originated on the PSP (PlayStation Portable), has been in high demand by PlayStation 2 owners looking for a Ratchet & Clank game to play on their systems. Featuring a remapped control scheme, re-worked lighting and textures, and the addition of 2-player split-screen gaming, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters has been remastered to take advantage of the PlayStation 2 hardware.
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters find the pair on a much needed vacation, Ratchet and Clank's rest and relaxation time is suddenly cut short as they find themselves lured into a mysterious quest. Following the trail of a kidnapped girl, Ratchet and Clank rediscover a forgotten race of genius inventors known as the Technomites. They soon uncover a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined. With hallmark Ratchet & Clank gameplay, upgradable weapons and customizable armor; players will shrink and enlarge to explore the inside of Clanks head or fly through space as Giant Clank.
A new feature to the franchise is head-to-head split-screen multiplayer games. Two players battle on one of four different maps in Capture the Flag or the team based Iron Lombax game mode, which finds players competing to accomplish unique tasks such as collecting Martian cows to create meat crates and fill delivery trucks, the first to fill their truck wins.
The multi-million unit selling franchise originated on PlayStation 2 in 2002 and has produced five sequels spread over PlayStation 2, PSP, and PlayStation 3. With more than 47 million PlayStation 2 owners in North America, PlayStation 2 remains the best-selling gaming system on the market and continues to provide new and original content seven years into its lifecycle. Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is a shining example of SCEA's continued support of the system and its loyal fans.

With the highly-anticipated title Grand Theft Auto IV due for release late next month, Wedbush Morgan has said that it expects the game to sell over nine million units during the fiscal year, and that Take-Two is likely to ship six million of those in the first week of sale.
The analyst predicts the game will be responsible for around USD 450 million of Take-Two's expected USD USD 1.073 billion publishing revenue this year, generating USD 135 million of the company's operating profit.
But the expected success of the title does not compensate for the poor portfolio of titles for 2008 and 2009, says Wedbush's Michael Pachter, as Take-Two fails to produce timely sequels to its popular franchises, and delays key releases.
"As we look at Take-Two's line-up, we see GTA IV, and several games that look much like Take-Two games from past years," commented Pachter.
"We are fans of Midnight Club, but question the decision to delay the game's launch into the competitive Burnout and Need for Speed window as ill-advised. We also note that the Q4 2008 launch of Midnight Club will mark three and-a-half years between versions of the game, highlighting Take-Two’s failure to "sequelise" its key franchises on a regular basis."
Pachter pointed out that of Take-Two's touted franchises, the last Max Payne game was released in late 2003, Red Dead Revolver in May 2004 and Mafia in January 2004.
"Unless management surprises us, sequels to these key franchises will require five or more years of development," he said, noting that Max Payne 2 isn't due for release until 2009.
The analyst also remains unimpressed with other titles already announced by Take-Two, including Top Spin 3, Don King Presents: Prizefighter and Carnival Games: Mini Golf. "These games appear to us like the Manhunt, BIGS, All-Pro Football, Ghost Rider and Fantastic Four games of last year, when the company generated a net operating loss of more than USD 100 million," he said.
On the subject of the EA's proposal to acquire Take-Two, Pachter expects a resolution before the publisher's AGM on April 10, possibly even before the end of the month.
"We expect that in order to save face, Take-Two management will withdraw its demand that any discussions wait until after the launch of GTA IV, and we think that management will engage in discussions with EA," he said.
"We think that EA prefers to complete a friendly deal, and think that it is possible that Take-Two management can convince EA of the extent to which EA may have undervalued Take-Two shares, and believe that as a conciliatory gesture, EA management may be prepared to increase its likely USD 26 offer to somewhere close to USD 27."
"Again, we think investors will jump at the offer," he concluded.

Quantic Dream has opened up about its PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain.
According to a piece in Dutch magazine Chief (translated by Kotaku), the game will focus around four characters who have landed in extraordinary situations.
The main theme will be about a father's love for his son, which ties in with the "much more personal" approach studio boss David Cage is after.
You will also see and interpret the world through each character and their perceptions of what is right and wrong.
"I believe heavily in moral choices. I'm going to use them a lot," Cage promised. "They're not about being good or bad, but about finding the right balance."
Heavy Rain will be set in a city, but Cage is reluctant to make it free roaming in a similar vein to something like Grand Theft Auto. The key is to control the story, apparently, although he wants "big sets" and heavily populated areas to play a part.
Visually it will be unique, apparently, and Cage expects we will be "surprised"; internal feedback from Sony is said to be "great".
There're no concrete details on gameplay, but he suggests Heavy Rain will expand upon the ideas used in previous project Fahrenheit.
Heavy Rain was shown originally at E3 2006 in a technical demo titled The Casting, which presented what was possible with virtual acting on the PS3.
David Cage said in interviews around the time that Heavy Rain would be a film noire-style thriller with mature themes, and no supernatural nonsense.
Dates of autumn 2008 were bandied around back then, but nothing has been heard since.
Sony was unavailable for comment at time of writing.
Fahrenheit was released in 2005 and earned hearty praise from Eurogamer for its involving storyline and forward-thinking. Kristan called it the most thoughtful piece of videogaming he had played in a long time.

Chalk this up to rumor, but according to at least one PS Home beta tester's account page, Sony's closed beta will be ending on 5/15/08. This date in itself means little. But it could mean that Sony might begin an open beta—or just launch Home once and for all—sometime not so long after that date. Either way, we wouldn't hold our breathe for Home to magically appear any time soon in a firmware update...especially since 2.4, expected this summer, has not been rumored to contain Home.

The God of War II director, Cory Barlog, will be packing up his troubles in an old kit bag and smiling when he leaves Sony Computer Entertainment. He's gone and teamed up with Australian film writer and director George Miller (Babe, The Witches of Eastwick and Mad Max) to work on something 'videogame related'.
In an interview with Level Up, Barlog touched upon why he's leaving SCEA: "For me, the last straw was Eric Williams, who for all intents and purposes for me was always like an AD [assistant director]; like a second director almost. He's a very technical combat guy.
"Me and him basically built Kratos on God of War I. We established all the bosses; the way that the whole game felt; what God of War's gameplay from a navigation, combat and platforming perspective felt like. And having lost him on III, that was a defining moment for me to go."
About his upcoming collabneration with George Miller, Barlog said, "When I met with him, the interaction was like two storytellers getting together, in the way that both of us were able to relate to various subjects. He has a game knowledge. While he may not be a hardcore gamer, he has a game knowledge, and he comes from an angle that I'm very passionate about.
"I don't really want to make casual games or games with no sort of story backbone or character backbone. Our conversations, they kind of were all over the map, but they went to the heart of so many things as opposed to being kind of like, 'Hey, so what do you like?' and 'What do you like?' It was detailed conversations about character interactions and the way that each of our industries can kind of push things further."
Level Up will be revealed more on the project tomorrow. Hit the link above for the interview and stay tuned...

Tiki Games has announced that it will release Novastrike, a free-roaming top-down shooter, via the PlayStation 3 Store in Q2 2008.
Novastrike sees players take control of an "experimental Scythe fighter" in a "sci-fi war zone" where players face "the world-conquering Draelus".
You'll blow stuff up, obviously, using nine basic weapon systems accumulated from enemy drops, each with three upgrade levels.
Fighting alongside you through seven "expansive", objective-based levels will be allied units of some sort, too.
What's more, Tiki plans to offer "continued updates and content additions to keep the game fluid and changing" and this will be "throughout 2008".
There's good news for prospective DualShock 3 owners, too, because the game will support Sony's upcoming rumbly pad, whenever we get it.
Novastrike has not been specifically dated or priced.
Check out how it's shaping up in our Novastrike screenshot gallery, right here.

"This empowers game developers to make their own creative mark with each title in any genre."
Gamebryo ships with 3,500 pages of fully indexed, searchable documentation, and developers who download it from PS3 DevNet will have access to the Emergent technical support team with representatives located in North America, Europe and Asia.

Though reviews haven't been consistently kind, most critics seem to label Army of Two's cooperative, fist-pounding gameplay as the best reason to start shooting. The promise of leaving a bloody terrorist trail with a buddy-in-arms does come with one caveat though: The members of your army can't have an ocean between them. Army of Two's online modes are restricted according to region, with the US, European and Asian versions unable to exchange so much as a salutation, let alone a barrage of bullets.
Consequently, we spoke to EA Montreal's Reid Schneider, senior producer on Army of Two, in the hopes of learning more about the decision to introduce a territorial lockout across Xbox Live and PSN. While the explanation is unlikely to dissolve your disappointment (not to mention that of Claus, your Swedish best friend), it does spring from EA's belief to do what was best for its game. We don't believe it was the best decision for modern, borderless gamers, but Schneider assured us that the developer is "actively looking into" retooling the game in the future. "We are looking to find a way where we can do it," said Schneider," and not expose users to super slow connections..."
According to Schneider, said super slow connections are what prompted the region blocking. Using a deterministic (peer-to-peer) network model enables the game's synchronized gameplay animation, but requires parity on both systems. If a slow connection is thrown into the mix, "the person with the worst connection brings down the whole group to his/her worst connection level," explained Schneider. "While not generally a problem for COOP (since most people play coop with friends) when playing in Versus mode 3 people can be highly adversely affected by one player with a bad connection. We use the region lock to minimize the likelihood of this occurring."
The game's Asian version is an entirely different beast. Due to territory requirements, players of that particular version can't shoot the bodies that are inevitably strewn across the battlefield. As was the case with the initial release of Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man, us sick and disgusting Westerners weren't deprived of this "feature." Schneider noted that having one version of the game with bullet-proof corpses talking to one that didn't "would result in a de-sync in the simulation and ultimately the game would fail."
We can't say these explanations will come as much as an appeasement to gamers -- especially not with the likes of Halo 3 and Gears of War lodged in the same genre -- but with American foreign policy growing more insular every day, who really wants to game with other countries anyway?

A little earlier than expected, it's time to cease the speculative chatter and grit teeth ready for some 100% official MotorStorm 2 infofactment. First things first though: you might want to cast your eyes below and check out the very first teaser trailer for Evolution Studio's forthcoming racing follow-up.
Down it bit more. Good, finished? Now stop your scowling – yes, it's a CGI target render. Let's not forget though, after the spluttering internet screams following the notoriously not-in-game E3 2005 MotorStorm trailer, Evolution came commendably close to realizing its ambition with the final code. What can be ascertained so far then is that MotorStorm 2 will be a lot less brown than its predecessor, sprawling across a verdant tropical Pacific island setting far removed from the dusty bowl of Monument Valley. Alongside thick foliage, Sony promises a huge variety in environmental hazards, citing mountainous peaks, flowing rivers, volcanic clouds, lava and - yep - mud. In fact, the game will feature 16 multi-route tracks in total.
Sony has officially silenced rumour mouths too, revealing that monster trucks are a definite addition to the vehicle roster, offering an excessively muscular new challenge for players looking to crush their way through the field - and over opponents. Speaking of which, MotorStorm 2 will indeed feature a four-player split-screen mode, alongside online play for up to 16 players.
Beyond Sony's fistful of revelations, we can only turn to the trailer, speculative hat back on bonce. Of particular interest are those seemingly destructible environments. Witness the moment a monster truck deftly clips and collapses a wooden tower, creating a brand new obstacle duly responsible for the demise of a chasing car and pendulous female biker. If that moment's any indication of Evolution's ambitions for the game, colour us tangerine with excitement.
MotorStorm 2 is due to hit PS3 this coming autumn (or fall, if you prefer) and we'll have more on the game just as soon as we've packed the sun lotion and a spare pair of pants, in case of skid marks.

Just as every cloud has a silver lining, every drop in stock value hides within it an opportunity for profit. At least that's what the Wall Street Journal seems to be saying with an article that argues the precipitous 26% drop in Sony stock this year could actually be an opportunity for bargain hunters.
The Journal was heartened by the Sony video game unit's quarterly profit over the holidays -- its first in two years -- and sees increasing demand for the PS3 as a good reason to buy low in anticipation of selling high. Sony itself predicts sales of 9.5 million PS3s this year, and the Journal cites analysts predicting a whopping 14 million systems sold in '09. Pretty optimistic, considering the company only moved 3.6 million units in 2007, but with things looking up for the troubled system, it could happen.

Sony has confirmed that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, an extended taster for Polyphony's latest serving of car porn, will squeal into European stores at the end of March.
It'll be debuting on the PlayStation Network on March 27, and snaking its way to retail on March 28, both versions weighing in at £24.99. Launching the same day as the Blu-ray iteration will be a new PlayStation 3 bundle, with £299.99 netting you a 40GB console complete with a copy of the game.
From details revealed earlier this month, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be feature-heavy, including 60 cars and six tracks.

In what's bound to be one of the most bizarre trade-in deals ever, EB Games in Canada is offering a unique deal for customers who pre-order the PS3 FPS Haze: they can return it a week later for a full refund.
The deal, as seen on their website, states that customers who pre-order the Ubisoft game will be able to pick it up on the release date and play it for a full week, then be able to sell the used game back to EB for full retail price. The deal only applies if the game, case and manual are kept in good condition, and if the game is returned within a week of purchase.
If we were Sony or Ubisoft, we would be less than thrilled with this promotion, which seems to suggest that Haze is only worth a week's investment of time. Then again, a sale is a sale, and maybe more Canadians will be tempted to purchase the title, if they know ahead of time that they don't have to keep it.

A nine-year-old girl had her PlayStation Portable (PSP) snatched in Great Hollands, Bracknell, yesterday by a man who kicked her and ran off.
The youngster and her friend were walking near the shops in Ringmead, in the Green Hill area, at about midday.
They were approached from behind by a man who snatched the PSP and kicked the child in the leg.She was left shaken but unhurt.
The man is white, aged 16 to 18, 5ft 7in, and medium build. He has a tanned, clear complexion and was wearing a white Reebok hooded top with dark blue lining, dark blue Reebok jogging bottoms and white Reebok trainers.

Microsoft's latest European Xbox 360 price cut has put Sony under renewed pressure to slash the cost of its PlayStation 3 console, according to Strategy Analytics.
"Sony will be nervous that the PS3's recent sales surge may fizzle out now that the premium Xbox 360 undercuts the PS3 by £40, and the cheapest Xbox model is almost half the price of a PS3," said Mercer.
"Sony will be scrutinizing the daily sales reports, but will probably try to hold out until later in the year before making its next price move."

Sony placed four addition classics in the archives section on the Japanese PlayStation Store. Spryo the Dragon leads the list, probably because he is the most recognizable name on the succinct four title selection.
Addie no Okurimono is probably the most obscure. The title is a puzzle game developed by Sony Computer Entertainment that gives players a Da Vinci Code-like toy to spell words. As seen in the screenshot the rotating letter toy uses the Roman alphabet, strange for a game designed for Japan. There is a story behind the game too, which involves wandering in people’s dreams. Interesting, but Addie no Okurimono doesn’t seem worth 600 yen to try out.
The other two games are from Victor Interactive. Kawa no Nushi Tsuri is an entry in the Legend of River King fishing RPG series and Gakkou wo Tsukurou is a pre-Bully school simulation game.
Here’s the rundown in handy list format, each game costs 600 yen:
Spyro the Dragon
Addie no Okurimono
Gakkou wo Tsukurou
Kawa no Nushi Tsuri

ben.vanik after nearly quite a few months away has posted new screens of his PSP Emulator for Windows working on new games, heres the screens:
Puyo Puyo Fever
It gets in game, but the drawing is wonky (only every 10th frame or so draws)
Every Extend Extra
Besides a few rendering glitches, the game works great! This is the first 3D game working; I was getting worried that I'd only be doing 2D stuff
I cant wait for a download of this emulator

Good news for those of you who plan to make the switch to Blu-ray DVDs: Warner Brothers has announced that several films will be released in a special book-like edition, including Harry Potter. HighDefDigest.com reports:
...the studio will kick off a new line of deluxe next-gen releases geared towards the collector's market. Sure to please film buffs, the slate of ten releases will wrap the high-def picture and sound in a handsomely bound volume containing rare and never-before-seen archival material.
We're not yet sure which Potter films will be re-released, nor what "archival material" they will include. However, we'll keep you updated. Thanks to Matt for the tip!

Time Baby V12i
Hi Guys,
This is the Time Baby V12i release with MP3 player.
Probably the last release for the near future.
I am still interested in any problems with the program.
Donate a 32Mb Memory Stick and see your nick in the intro screen
of Time Baby, and any other of my future PSP program releases!
Download Time Baby V12i from Rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/99091534..._V12i.zip.html
Download Time Baby V12i from Sendspace:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/6rxsys
Time Baby source code is released under the X-Flash environmental protection license.
It is compiled with files from two different version toolchains. Good luck!
When compiled with a current toolchain, the Sunrise/Sunset routine is bugged,
and possible the Moonrise and set routine as well.
Please do not release derivatives with little, or no enhancement.
I will actively persue Admin/Moderators to delete them.
Any part of this source that belongs to me remains my property.
Download Time Baby V12i Source from Megaupload:

KOEI is keeping quiet about the future of Fatal Inertia on PS3 despite the game receiving a rating from the American Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). "E10+" in case you care.
The game is listed as "Fatal Inertia EX", suggesting that reports late last year that the PS3 version would be an improvement over the lacklustre 360 release did point to additional work of some form.
At the time, KOEI said the game was "in development for 2008", but the publisher would not be drawn on any further details when we rang up this morning.
As you will remember from our Fatal Inertia Xbox 360 review (probably, maybe), the game is an Unreal Engine 3-based racer built around flying cars ala WipEout, in which you dart around canyons and over oceans, among other open tracks, blasting each other with weapons.
If the PS3 version can take care of some of the issues that got in Fatal Inertia's way, then it might be worth investigating. We'll let you know when we find out more.

Sony has released a detialed Q&A that grills Colin Berry, lead designer, about the team, the game and various other things to - like getting Slayer into the soundtrack! Worth a look if you're a fan.
How many people do you have working on WipEout HD?
Colin Berry: We started with a very small team in spring 2007 of around six people. We are now up to around 25 or 30 to ensure the final code delivers all the great media feedback we've had so far following E3 and the Leipzig Games Convention.
Is there anyone who's worked on all the WipEout games since the start of the franchise?
Berry: There are a couple of people yes, an Artist (Darren Douglas) and a Producer (Paul Tweedle) who started out by QA'ing the first WipEout!
What was the one thing the team wanted to change/or introduce most for WipEout HD?
Berry: We wanted to provide a good solid online experience for a television based WipEout game. We see online play as a big feature in HD. Also 60 frames per second full 1080p was a day one priority. We also wanted to make it a great addition to PS Store by offering it as a downloadable title.
How long has it taken to make WipEout a full HD game for PS3?
Berry: We started work on the artwork around about February 2007 and the code around April, so just under a year.
Would it be fair to consider HD as a port? Apart from 1080p visuals and 60 frames per second animations, what makes it different to Pure and Pulse?
Berry: Firstly people should not underestimate the changes that 60 frames per second and 1080p visuals make to the game. Sure the environments are taken from the PSP versions initially but so much work has gone into hi-resing them up, every building model, and every texture. The game looks so much richer.
All the ships are new hi-res models with hi-res texturing and improved lighting too, so the visual changes are dramatically enhanced. The game also has a sleeker new HD front end, the handling model has been refined to fit the Sixaxis controller also the collision system has been improved. Then of course there is online multiplayer which fair enough appears in WipEout Pulse but it is great fun. Playing WipEout against other people on a big TV, it is a lot of fun.
In some terms its easy to say 'it is a port' but that is something of a disservice, the game has had an overhaul and a freshen up in many little ways which combined give it a strong identity and make it a solid game in its own right. We certainly don't regard it as a port.
Then of course there is downloadable content, which depending on what we settle on, can further push the WipEout HD experience. We are hoping the initial release of HD will be a starting point.

Sony has announced plans to hold a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue tournament, with time trials set to take place at venues across the UK.
Entrants will be tasked with setting the fastest time over two laps on the London circuit. The fastest driver from each region will win a PlayStation 3 and a copy of GT 5 Prologue.
Other prizes will include GT5-branded racing helmets, Nike trainers, hoodies and keyrings. What no lanyards? Even if you're rubbish, you'll be entered in a prize draw just for taking part.
The fastest three regional winners will get to race each other in the final, and the GT5 Prologue UK Champion will be crowned at the launch event in London on 27th March - the same day the game comes out on PSN. The top prize has yet to be announced. Probably a massive telly or a real car or an Xbox 360. Probably not the last two.
Here's that list of regional events in full:
- Region 1 - Gamestation Edinburgh
- Region 2 - HMV Edinburgh
- Region 3 - Zavvi Glasgow
- Region 4 - Currys.digital Birmingham
- Region 5 - Blockbuster Welling
- Region 6 - GAME Nottingham
- Region 7 - HMV London
- Region 8 - Zavvi London
- Region 9 - HMV Manchester
- Region 10 - Zavvi Manchester

Gibson Guitar has alleged that Activision's Guitar Hero videogames infringe one of the company's patents, causing Activision to file a lawsuit asking a court to find the claim invalid.
According to a Reuters report, Gibson made the claim in a letter sent to Activision in January. It has a 1999 patent for technology to simulate a musical performance.
"Based on our preliminary analysis, the Guitar Hero software (including any expansion packs) and the guitar controller provided by Activision being used as a musical instrument (packaged with the software or sold standalone) are covered by the ... patent," the letter read in part.
"Gibson requests that Activision obtain a license under Gibson's ... patent or halt sales of any version of the Guitar Hero game software."
Activision is already involved in a dispute with Harmonix over alleged royalties due over Guitar Hero III.
Gibson has been a high-profile partner in the Guitar Hero videogames, as Activision has licensed the rights to model its controllers on Gibson guitars - not to mention using the likenesses of such guitars in the game.
"Gibson is a good partner, and we have a great deal of respect for them," said Activision general counsel George Rose.
"We disagree with the applicability of their patent and would like a legal determination on this."
Activision has therefore filed a suit asking the US District Court for Central California to declare Gibson's patent invalid and to bar it from seeking damages. The company alleges that Gibson had granted an "implied license" by waiting three years to raise its claim.
The Guitar Hero franchise has sold more than 14 million units in North America and raked in more than USD 1 billion since its debut in 2005.

Three fresh songs for Guitar Hero III are all the PlayStation Store has to offer this week, disappointingly.
These are wrapped up in a Modern Metal Track Pack - the same one Live and US PSN had last week - and will cost GBP 3.99.
Inside is "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold, "The Arsonist" by Thrice, and "Hole in the Earth" by The Deftones.
Or you can watch a trailer for Elefunk, a puzzle game being readied for PSN. It makes you build bridges and then test their resilience by putting elephants on them, because what else would you use?
We like elephants; did you know that the largest elephant ever recorded was over four meters tall (shoulder height) and weighed roughly 12 tons? That's 146 times heavier than me. Fatty.
The only other offering for PS3 is a PixelJunk Monsters theme.
Those of you on the PSP Store, on the other hand, can get trailers for Ape Quest and God of War: Chains of Olympus, which is really rather good, as we told you in our review.
Or you can decorate your handheld with a Warriors Orochi wallpaper. Which is hardly an elephant.

A new Soul Calibur IV character has been unveiled in the pages of Famitsu magazine.
As reported by QJ.net she's a lady named Scheherazade, presumably after her out of the Arabian Nights. (Probably not that version. Wait, surely they can't mean the John Leslie?) Scans reveal she comes equipped with a thin sword and some suitably tight clothes.
The article also has a picture of Maxi as he appears in SCIV, complete with nunchuks, plus returning favourites Kilik and Xianghua.
Soul Calibur IV is out this summer on PS3 and Xbox 360. If you can't wait that long, why not head to this weekend's Play.com Live event, where it will be playable.

Late last month, we actually posed the question of buying a Blu-ray player now (being that the format war is over and all), or waiting things out until prices sink and Profile 2.0 players flood the market. Aside from the PlayStation 3 -- which is actually priced fairly reasonably if you were in the hunt for a new console anyway -- it seems as though HD DVD's exit has actually caused Blu-ray player prices to creep back upwards. Granted, this is about as far from surprising as it gets -- after all, it's nothing short of supply and demand working its magic. Still, it wasn't too long ago that we saw Toshiba actively putting pressure on the Blu camp to reduce prices in order to stay competitive, and now that said pressure has vanished, stickers on the whole have headed north. Ah well, it's not like the consumer didn't ask for this, um, right?

News/release from Christek:
I'm sure many of you are familiar with LuaPlayer, for testing Lua apps on the PC. I got sick of using the terminal to open my lua files, writing batch scripts, etcetera. So I wrote this quick little program and icons in about half an hour to handle that for me.
That brings us to LuaPlayerWin GUI. Free, tiny, portable, and it does one simple task.

News/release from slicer4ever:
k so the aim of the game:
basically you control two objects
the top left object is controlled normally
the bottom right object is controlled with inversed controls
you can use either joypad or d-pad but i recommend using the d-pad
and you have to hit the two objects together before time runs out
what the tiles mean:
white - wall
red - slows you down
green - speeds you up
credits:
special thanks to: InsertWittyName for help in collision detection
music: playgirl, thanks so much
coder and idea by: slicer4ever(ME of course)
see mapmaker readme to learn how to use the readme
installation
1.0 fw:
1. navigate to the 1.0 folder and copy it's content to your psp
2. copy the files folder to the folder that you copied on your psp
1.5 fw:
1. navigate to the 1.5 folder and copy it's content to your psp
2. copy the files folder to the folder without the % sign that you copied on your psp
and it's that simple pm if you have problems

Red Squirrel has released a new version of Time Machine Configurator
What's it?
It is a simple homebrew that has the aim to configure D.A.'s Time Machine by PSP.
All the procedure is done on PSP simply by pressing some keys, so no PC is required.
Program will edit the /TM/config.txt.
More info are in the homebrew main page.
v2.0
-Program code is totally new.
-Program is Italian if your PSP is set in Italian language, English otherwise.
-Instead of press a key, now you can choose it from a list. For this reason, now you can use ALL keys allowed!!!
-Possibility to use a combination of two keys to launch a TM Firmware
-Possibility to view the actual TM configuration BEFORE to create a new one (SQUARE option in main menù).
-Possibility to choose what Firmware to configure.
-Now program will show what combination of keys you choose.
-At the end of the config procedure program will show the actual configuration and what will be the new configuration. You can press START to write the new configuration, or press CIRCLE to abort and return to main menù.
-Program has some security controls, for example:
1. Program will insert the "NOTHING" option (if present) at the end of the config file (like suggested by D.A.)
2. If you insert two egual combination of keys for two different TM Firmwares, program will give an error message and will return to main menù BEFORE to edit the config file!
Something else that I don't remember at the moment.

Updated release from billylee8:
About PSP Kanji Learner:
I wasn't able to duplicate my old flash card study method with other programs available (not just on the PSP but on the PC as well), and I couldn't be bothered to learn C, so I did the next best thing and made my flash cards with videos - something I have ample experience with.
I realized this would work on the PSP because of the sequential video playback feature included in firmware 3.70; when "Shuffle" is selected, the same video won't play twice, and the sequential playback will end when all the videos in a folder are played.
Since these flash cards are videos (each individual card can range from 130 KB to 160 KB), this might not be considered "homebrew," but I *would* call it an app. Also, because this is essentially a set videos, YOU DO NOT NEED CUSTOM FIRMWARE.
How to use:
Each card has a front and a back side.
On the front, you'll have the grade level and the stroke count. You'll also have entries for the following:
- Unicode: ("U____") For example, on the kanji card for "kawa" (river), you'll see "U5ddd". If you only want to type that one character, just type in "5ddd" in a word processor, hit "Alt+X", and "5ddd" will turn into the kanji.
- Classic Nelson entry number ("N____")
- New Nelson entry number ("V____")
- Halpern New Japanese-English Character Dictionary Index ("H____")
- Halpern Kanji Learner's Dictionary Index ("DK____")
On the back, you'll have the on-yomi readings (written in katakana), the kun-yomi readings (written in hiragana), and the English key word as provided by the KLD.
The numbers of the file names of the videos themselves refer to the kanji's entry in the Kanji Learner's Dictionary.
There are two sets of each video card; when you play a card from "Side A", the front side of the card will play for 5 seconds, followed by a sound and the back side will play for 5 seconds. When you play a card from "Side B", the reverse will happen. If you need more time, press Start to pause. This double-sided approach was lacking in other programs; if you have all the info (i.e. kanji, readings, and meanings) on one side, you're obviously not going to be able to test yourself on anything! Also, most people don't have too much trouble reading and pronouncing kanji in context, but what gets EVERYONE is being able to recall the correct kanji and write it from memory (making "Side B", IMO, invaluable).
When I was learning new kanji, I'd learn 20 new kanji a week while reviewing the old ones. It turns out that method has a name: The Leitner System.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashcard
You are, of course, free to choose exactly which and how many kanji you want to test yourself on. When the full 1945-card set is finished, you'll easily be able to make more sets using copies of the same cards - useful for having sets with kanji that look similar, or sets entirely consisting of those pesky Japanese homophones.
Release schedule:
I'll try to create cards for 20 new kanji every day or every other day; no more (I'll need time to maintain the quality with triple checking... as well as maintain my sanity), and no less (because I want to get done with this sometime in my life). Of course, I won't actually release them until I reach some sort of milestone (e.g. the complete set of a grade).

Square Enix will be offering a Special Edition of Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII in the UK. European offers may vary a little.
An official announcement is said to be "imminent", but some retailers have begun posting the contents on the Internet we call home. And friend.
The "Special Pre-Order Edition" at Gamestation will contain a 48-page art book and fancy slipcase packaging.
That one sells for GBP 29.99, but we're told it should be the same price as the non-special edition. It really is quite limited, apparently. Shop around for similar offers on other sites over the weekend, then.
Square Enix has previously said Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII will be arriving on PSP this spring, although Gamestation has it down for summer.

Bourne Conspiracy developer High Moon has joined the growing list of development studios admitting to having problems working with Unreal Engine on the PlayStation 3.
In an interview with Gamasutra, High Moon VP Paul O'Connor was asked whether developing The Bourne Conspiracy across multiple platforms was difficult.
He replied, "We needed a lot of support on Unreal to make it run on the PlayStation 3. We got caught in the same crunch as everybody else when [Epic] finalized Gears [Of War], so that definitely slowed down the PS3 support at the time."
Other companies who have experienced trouble with the engine includes Too Human developers Silicon Knights, who are currently engaged in a legal battle with Epic over breach of contract.
Dark Sector director Steve Sinclair also expressed difficulties in using the engine, who reportedly told Australian website Gameplayer that "A lot of promises were made about the Unreal 3 engine, particularly on PS3.
"But as we see now, the time frames haven't been met and now a lot of games using it are being held up." Dark Sector developer Digital Extremes later said its comments were taken out of context.

A 15-year-old Marble Falls boy remains in critical condition at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin with a gunshot wound to the head after what a parent said may have been instigated by a video game called God of War.
Accused of the crime is a 13-year-old Marble Falls youth in custody at the juvenile detention center in Belton and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony, according to the Marble Falls Police Department.
At approximately 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, two youth were visiting the 13-year-old boy at his grandmother's residence, located at 1209 Johnson St., when the 13-year-old decided to retrieve bullets for a gun, which was already out, while the other two boys sat on the couch playing a video game called God of War, according to one of the parents.
Once the boy returned, he loaded the bullets in the .22 caliber pistol, and without saying a word, shot the 15-year-old boy in the head, the parent said

Here is the change log for this new release:
- added a cache on the memory stick
- allows offline browsing of maps in the cache
- added a configuration file
- added options to disable disk cache and transition effects
- added an error image when view is not available
- better zoom level (thanks to elefas for the tip)
So the most important upgrade is the possibility to browse offline the maps you have previously opened with the wifi :thumbup:
The cache is currently set to 1000 tiles, which should be enough for most people.
You can download this new version and source on my website: http://royale.zerezo.com/psp/

Sony has released its own comments following the release of February's NPD sales figures, noting a 120 percent year over year increase in PS3 sales and the continued strength of its PlayStation 2.
The PlayStation Portable also saw a 38 percent jump in year over year sales. Sony says its PlayStation 2 sold "more software units than any other console on the market" for the third consecutive month.
Its PlayStation Network has seen growth as well, with more than 3.3 million current users and 56 million life-to-date downloads. Sony says that in February there were 6.3 million downloads, just shy of the holiday-high 6.6 million in December.
Said SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton, “Consumers are recognizing the tremendous value of PS3 and we believe that Blu-ray becoming the high-def format of choice was the tipping point for many consumers. With monster titles like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Grand Theft Auto IV launching in April and Metal Gear Solid 4 in June, we’re demonstrating this is the year for PS3.”

Nickname: Gambiting
Project name : BlowUp!
From : Poland
Division : PSP Game
Original enter : YES
Support Motion : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Project description:
It's an OpenGL,full 3D game,in which you are driving a tank,and you have to destroy your opponents,and collect all coins. Environment is fully textured,with working collisions. Game difficulty changes with each level. Sorry but there is no motion sensing as I don't have fat psp to test it. So,the game is made for 3.xx kernel,runs fine on Slim on 3.90M33-2.
The game is not finished yet,so I will release it on 19 march,as I hope it will be complete by then.

News/release from Wallaby
I propose a demo version of my game named Dark Basis. This demo contains 4 levels fairly simple. Thereafter, the game will include thirty! But let up to the presentation!
What Dark Basis?
You are a small white rectangle that needs to find its way, unfortunately, the more you advance in levels, the challenge is great! (Logic ^ ^) At level two, you have several choices output level, but only one output will go to the next level, all the others you ramènerons at 1! Just for fun, the higher the level increases, the level of your character increases. Attention stay well on the way!
Installation:
* Unzip the archive to the letter assigned to your PSP.
* Go to the party [Thursday]> [Memory Stick] on your PSP.
* Select and run Dark Basis.
How to play?
It's simple, you just have to lead the white rectangle using multidirectionelle your PSP.
Acknowledgments:
I thank the site xtreamlua.com that I learned the basics of programming and lua who teaches me every day.
I also thank all the members of the site that respond quickly to all questions.
I also thank Mourioche that give me permission to use his musical compositions in Dark Basis! ( Http://www.mourioche.com)
Caution: In this demo, music have been added. They will be in the final version!
Dark Basis is usually compatible with the PSP like Fat with the PSP Slim.

Dubbed ‘the man who knows too much', their insider teases us with some of the latest PlayStation murmurings:
* In game XMB will be coming, however not for a few months yet.
* He tells us to expect a ‘big' announcement involving Home, including information about ‘trophies' or achievements "to rival the Xbox live system".
* A sequel for a popular Xbox 360 title will be ‘received' soon, and that it will be making its first appearance on the PS3, he also states this isn't Lost Planet.

Register at their forum here
Information from official site:
Xeon is a project to create a PS2 emulator with best compatibility and performance.
The official start was the 05.02.2008. We work in a 5-man team where everybody has his own thing to do:
* Xeon - Main/CPU coding (emulator is based on his idea :P)
* Quid - Graphics (render acceleration)
* Port7 - Plugins and device emulation (such as DVD)
* lateit - Sound (Central Sound System)
* rSys - Input-Output processing
The latest build is the ‘0.2a’ and an early beta . We don’t want to use others code (such as foreign video-plugins), so it takes a while to develop. The release date is unknown, cause we don’t want to release an unfinished emulator (there are enough of them).
So visit our site to get new (we code every day) informations about development.
For those of you, who can’t wait to see the emulator, i took a screenshot for you.
Here we go:
http://xeon.pytalhost.net/boot.png
Our own video plugin is in phase 2/10. You can see the beautiful output (with ~16 FPS!) while rendering the PS2 BIOS.
Thanx to Quid and Port7 for a good job. The dev time for this plugin was nearly one month.

mitglied has released a new homebrew game for the PS2 and Nintendo Wii:
Ballion is based on the C64`er game Crillion. The code is written using the free ps2dev toolchain. To play Ballion you need to copy it to a memory card or to ps2 hard disc. You need 7,1 MByte free space. You don't need a modified ps2 to play it. You can use the ps2 linux or the memory card exploit for booting. Files required for booting can be downloaded at ps2dev. Game states are saved on memory card in slot 1.
Example: ps2client -h 192.168.1.23 execee host:ballion.elf
For the WII version you need a gamecube game controller. Sound is not yet supported in this version. Hardware acceleration is not used, the PS2 version looks better. To save the game state, you need a gamecube memory card in slot B. You can load ballion with the Twilight Hack.

SG57 has posted an entry into the Neoflash Coding Contest:
Nickname: SG57
Projet name : Kitten Cannon
From : USA
Division : PSP Game
Original enter : YES
Support Motion : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Project description:
Here's a PSP clone of the popular flash game
"Kitten Cannon" by Dan Fleming.
Kitten Cannon is very simple to play and maybe harder to watch if you're the squeamish type
Just aim the cannon using the up/down directional pad buttons or analog stick and use [X] to fire. The red bar on the cannon indicates the power of your shot. Leave the rest to gravity and the objects that litter the ground. Press [START] to pause and SELECT while paused to return to the main menu. My high score is 3852 feet! Beat that score and I'll give you a cookie
Take screenshots with the TRIANGLE button - saved in "Kitten Cannon/Screenshots/'. Highscores are now automatically saved in the Screenshots folder. Please redownload if you have a version released before 8 AM on this boards time. (just replace the eboot and add a screenshots folder if you dont want to have the longer transfer time).
Credits:
Game sprites, game sound effects and concept are
from the flash version of Kitten Cannon so the
rightful authors of those get credit as well.
The background music is the instrumental version
of Daft Punk and Kanye West's - "Harder Better
Faster Stronger". This uses OSlib, an advanced
2D graphics library for the PSP. The OSlib intro
was created by Brunni. AlwaysAmiYumi
for quick, responsive testing.
Everything uncredited so far was done by me (SG57).

Bootsector has released another emulator for the PS2, aint it great to see so many homebrew releases on the PS2 as of late
Heres the release details:
This is a port of FCEUltra, a great Nintendo emulator, for PS2. Written originally by ragnarok2040, its development was stopped at version 0.92. The public available source code was from version 0.90.
So I got the source code and started to improve it a little bit. The results were:
:. CD/DVD support added.
:. Several bugfixes, turning it as stable as official 0.92 version.
:. Using same color palette as of version 0.92 (AspiringSquire's NES Color Palette)
:. NTSC video output quality improvements
:. Supporting analog pads
:. And much more...
Latest "unofficial" version is 0.90i.

Time Baby V13 - Final!
-
-
-
Hi Guys,
Now it seems I have all issues sorted, I can say this is the final release for the short term.
I will still be interested in correcting any bugs that are found, but other than that,
I'm keen to start work on new programs.
New for this release is a simple infrared remote control feature that allows any old remote
to be used for cancelling the alarm, announcing the time, or advancing the mp3 playlist.
The MP3 alarm feature now resumes the MP3 playlist, and no longer uses Cooleyes' mp3 player code.
The distribution program is a single EBOOT.PBP file that writes all other program files including default
configuration file to Memory Stick the first time it is launched.
Some config file information has been included with the download package for anyone who may wish
to write a seperate Time Baby configurator program.
Time Baby is not campatible with the PSP slim & Lite.
Download from Rapidshare:

New from SuccessHK and with Full Worldwide Shipping
With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.

New beta of the PlayStation 2 emulator for PC.
Changelog:
- Vsync/Hsync rewritten, stops DMC video freezing, improves real time cutscene lipsync.
- Memcard selection saving fixed.
- SPU2 Async adjusted to be quicker and hopefully stable.
- Special "speed hack" added which tightens SPU2 Async but slows the emu down, can help in the case of some videos (FFXII demo for me)

More progress on the upcoming PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows.
From the official site:
XCSS (Xeon Central Sound System) emulates a little bit sound (very unstable and buggy) in the central-processing-mode. The pings are quite terrible. Thanks to lateit anyway - the sound works now .
With enabled sound, we get very low FPS. The sound unit needs more attention :P.
I will reply if there are any changes.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is set to weigh in at 1870MB on PlayStation Network when it goes on sale next Thursday, 27th March.
That's how big the game was when we downloaded it to put together our exclusive review of the PAL version, and Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that it will be the same when the game goes live on the PlayStation 3 Store.
1.9GB isn't exactly huge, especially given that PS3 games can take advantage of Blu-ray's 50GB if they choose, so how do they do that?
One way Prologue reduces its footprint is by leaving cinematics on the server until you choose to download them from GT TV. You can choose to download the opening movie at any time, and when you finish Event series you're told that you can now download the end movie from the in-game high-definition TV download page.
According to a Sony spokesperson, both movies will be included on the Blu-ray disc version of the game.
Playing through the European version of Prologue also gave us a chance to check out some of its new features, like the Quick Tune mode.
New to the PAL release, Quick Tune is unlocked when you finish C, B and A-class races in Event mode, and lets you adjust tons of car settings before each race, giving you a performance-points score based on the balance you strike.
You can also store up different configurations to switch between in real-time during races. These configs can be assigned to buttons on the Sixaxis or Driving Force GT steering wheel.
For those of you who care, the options you can adjust using Quick Tune are: power, weight, tyre, aerodynamics, ride height, spring rate, damper, toe angle, camber angle, brake balance, traction control, max turning angle, ABS, torque balance and gear ratios. The Quick Tune page also shows you graphs of power/torque and gear ratio to help you see what you're doing.
Advanced players can also opt for Professional physics rather than Standard, as they could in the Japanese release, while other assists (for correcting oversteer and preventing skidding) are offered along with the traditional driving line, which now benefits from displaying target speeds over the far end of red braking sections to help you work out exactly when to reapply acceleration.
For more on all that, check out our Gran Turismo 5 Prologue PAL review. The game's due out on PSN on 27th March and at retail on 28th March.

via MCV
President of Sony Online Entertainment John Smedley has suggested that the PS3 can one day host an MMO game to rival the popularity of World Of Warcraft.
The news comes after Sony announced that it was restructuring, with PlayStation president Kaz Hirai taking control of SOE.
MCV interpreted the move as a statement of intent that Sony will target the MMO market with PS3.
Smedley wasasked if the industry would ever see a console MMO that could compete with Warcraft. Speaking to GameDaily, he said:
"I absolutely do [think we'll see that], and in fact I think by having a stable platform where every customer has an online capable box is a huge, huge potential advantage in building an MMO because you've already got an online userbase.
“It's a massive advantage over the PC and we don't have to worry about graphics cards or things like that. It's going to be very big. Console online gaming in general I think is going to be one of the next huge phases of growth in the online gaming space."

Capcom has explained that it would be too costly and take too long to get a SSFII Turbo HD Remix beta running on PS3.
For now, only those of you with an Xbox 360 will be invited to participate after you buy Commando 3 from Live Arcade.
"We are resource constrained. This project already has gone over the original budget," explained Christian Svensson, Capcom business development boss, on the official forums.
"We wanted to do a beta to test the new network features, but even if it were possible for Sony to do, it would require three submissions (US, Europe, Asia/Japan) to reach the same global audience we can with Microsoft in a single test and global submission."
"We treat the PS3 extremely seriously. To date, we are still the only third party publisher doing cross platform, simultaneous digital releases. Believe it or not, this is not easy and to suggest we aren't treating the PS3 as important would be ignorant of what we're doing for it," he added.
Svensson went on to say that even if it could be done it would have pushed the release back a few months, which he expects you would not have liked.
The results of the 360 test should also help the PS3 version, as there is "code parity across the two".
"Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 will be an excellent title on PS3. The lack of a bonus beta doesn't make it not worth its asking price," Svensson reassured us.
Commando 3 will cost 800 Points in Xbox 360 and will grant you access to the SSFII Turbo HD Remix beta shortly after downloading for around eight weeks.

Rockstar has revealed that the final Grand Theft Auto IV trailer will be released on March 27.
In the updates section of its official GTA IV website, Rockstar has posted updates on the goodies we should expect in the coming weeks, revealing that "Good Lord, What Are You Doing?" aka "Everyone's a Rat" will be out on March 27.
According to the developer's scribbles, there'll also be new music and screenshots appearing on the site this Thursday.
We've no idea what the trailer will contain (surely they're bored of shouty cut-scenes by now?), but it launches very closely to the time multiplayer hands-on reports are expected, so maybe we'll see some of that.
You can read the first details on the online modes - which leaked onto the net this past Friday - here.

News/release from Durka Durka Mahn
This is my first C++ game on the PSP so bare with me.
I've been learning C++ for almost a year now so I decided to put my skills to the test and made a game. A game called Breaker+.
Breaker+ is basically a combination of the Breakout games, Pong, and a little of my own add ins.
How it works:
The goal of the game is to get the highest score possible.
To raise your score, you must hit the blocks by using the bumper. To move the bumper, use the up/down buttons on your D-Pad.
When the brick respawns, it will have a timer under it. This timer corresponds to the brick's prize.
If you hit it, it will give you that number of points times your multiplier.
To get your multiplier up, simply continuously hit bricks within about 5 seconds of each other and it will go up. If you lose a life, it resets to 1. If you wait too long, it will begin going down.
By hitting the left trigger, you will have a few seconds where the ball will slow down and you can aim your bumper in the time given. Once the bar on the right side of the screen is depleted, you will have to wait for it to recharge.
If the ball goes behind the bumper, you will lose a life and the ball will reset. If you lose all 5 lives, you will have game over, and it will save your high score if it is higher than your best high score.
So, what are you waiting for? Download Breaker+!

When Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core hits UK stores this spring hardcore fans will be able to grab a Special Edition version, with a fancy box and other goodies.
The Special Edition will come in a flashy slip case (pictured), containing a hard-backed artwork book for fans of the series to keep in mint condition for years for no reason.
Crisis core is a prequel to the series fan favourite, Final Fantasy VII and, as this import review will tell you, it's pretty bloody good.
Neither versions have been priced, and the official date still sits at "Q2 2008", but most of the major online retailers (including Play) have it down for June so look out for it then.

With more than a week to go until it's released, the number of PAL pre-orders for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has topped 1 million.
That's according to GeekPulp, which got the info from Dave Hine and Paul Gunn of SCE New Zealand.
It's the first time a PS3 title has racked up 1 million sales, and thereby achieved Platinum status, before it's even released.
Sony UK has yet to confirm the figure. However it has been announced that more than 48 million games in the Gran Turismo series have now been sold - "almost 50 million", in fact, if you read the latest press release.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be released via PlayStation Network on Thursday 27th March, and will be in shops the following day.

Ptek has updated the port of Doom to the PS2, heres the release news:
Yesterday I was looking at the source to see how could I enable keyboard support. In fact it was very simple, since PS2 SDL already have support for it, it was just a matter of enabling it on the SDL makefile (HAVE_INPUT_DEVICES=1) and do a rebuild.
Unfortunably it seems to be an issue when loading from a USB mass storage from uLaunchELF 4.12 and enabling the keyboard support… When I try to load it using uLaunchELF, it didn’t started. But launching it from network using PS2client/PS2link it worked fine, even the version that loads the WAD from USB. There must be differences from the way uLaunchELF and ps2client executes the ELFs. I tried to do a IOP reset from the doom.elf but nothing changed.
So, at the moment, a keyboard enabled version is available here but it must be executed from the network.
If you have the means from launching from the USB using other than uLaunchELF 4.12 (Datel AR, older uLaunchELF, whatever) and want to try for yourself, try this. If it works, drop me a comment.
Now enjoy keyboard support!
(I didn’t have yet the time to look properly to the sound issues and/or enhance the joystick controller…)

dridri85 posted this news/release:
Let me present version of my dev LibGraphicEngine.
Types of variables
Color ==> Color
Two options for defining a COlor possible:
An integer on 32bits, instance => 0xff0000ff (red here)
Or less barbaric => COLOR_RGBA (R, G, B, A) values ranging from 0 to 255
Ge_Image ==> image, structure almost equal to that of the libpng
Basic functions
GeInit () ==> Sets library
GeQuit () ==> Close Bookstore
GeSetClearColor (Color color) ==> defined erasure color screen (left alpha (A) 255)
GeClearScreen () ==> clears the screen
GeSwapBuffers () == flip screen
Ge_Image * geLoadImage (const char * file) ==> loads a file in JPG or PNG pointer ge_Image
GeSwizzle (* ge_Image image) ==> swizzle an image, a process that is reorganizing the "data" of an image into blocks, the display is up to 2x faster. But a picture "swizzlée" can be shown that alpha mode
Image functions
GeDrawLine (x0 int, int y0, int x1, int y1, destination * Color, color int, int width, int w, int h) ==> draws a line on destination
X0, y0 => position of the first point
X0, y0 => position of the second point
Color => color of the line
Destination => destination drawing for a picture put mon_image-> data "for the screen is" SCREEN_DEST "
Width => line width of the destination (for an image is its own width, the screen is 512)
W and h => width and height of the surface of destination
GeDrawHLine (x0 int, int x1, int y, * dest Color, Color color, width int, int w, int h) ==> draws line on the screen
X0 and x1 => points of arrival and destination
Y => vertical placement of the line
For the rest it's the same as DrawLine
GeDawVLine (y0 int, int y1, int x, * dest Color, Color color, height int, int w, int h) ==> vertical line drawing on the screen
Y0 and y1 => points of arrival and destination
X => horizontal placement of the line
For the rest it's the same as DrawLine
GeImageAddColorKey (* ge_Image image, Color color) ==> adds a ColorKey (color) images
The ColorKeys are very practical functions that serve pretty much like displaying sprites, in fact if you have for example a sprite with pink background, you made a colorKey with the value of the pink and all the pixels of that color will not be displayed
GeImageSetAlpha (* ge_Image image, u8 alpha) ==> alpha change the color of an image, value from 0 to 255 (0 invisble 255 opaque)
GeBlitImage (int x, int y, ge_Image * image, sx int, int sy, ex int, int ey, use_alpha int) ==> displays an image on the screen
X, y => x and y position of the image on the screen
Image => the image in question
Sx, sy => beginning to display pictures, example: you put a 10 sx and left of the image became a 10 pixel (if you do not check)
Ex, ey => width and height of the image to display
Use_alpha => 1 if you want to use the transparency or 0 if you do not want
Use it
Quite simply, adding that include debiting your code:
Code:
# Include <libge/ggraphic.h>
Libs and it is a line of LIBS makefile
Code:
- LGE-LM

News/release from Charnold:
This package contains the Windows/Mac version of the Editor + the Windows/Mac and PSP versions of the Dungeons Assault Run game.
New in version 1.0.1
- some internal map format changes: the map editor can open the old versions, but the game can't (so open the map in the editor and goto file / create game format)
editor changes:
- lights: size 0 = invisible light
- startweapon: -1 = rendering no weapon, no crosshairs in game (=standard for new map)
- now possible to make maps without a modelpack (enemies/weapons), player weapon and crosshairs
- fixed: crash of weaponlist in edit startpoint, when no modelpack loaded
- fixed: calculation of game geometry for open areas didn't remove hidden polygons (means, calculated too many lightmaps, rendered to many polys)
- calculate game geometry depends now on maparea properties (lightmaps yes/no, so lightmaps can be deleted, sealed/open area)
- editor help file updated
- new option in modelpack (per weapon): 1st person offset x,y,z
- "real" skybox per maparea (no more big, far away walls needed) yes/no + index of 6 textures: front, back, left, right, top, bottom (the sample textures are from http://skymatter.thegamecreators .com/?f=sample)

sg57 has updated his entry into the Neoflash Contest, heres the release info:
Nickname: SG57
Projet name : Kitten Cannon
From : USA
Division : PSP Game
Original enter : YES
Support Motion : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Project description:
Here's a PSP clone of the popular flash game
"Kitten Cannon" by Dan Fleming.
Kitten Cannon is very simple to play and maybe harder to watch if you're the squeamish type
Just aim the cannon using the up/down directional pad buttons or analog stick and use [X] to fire. The red bar on the cannon indicates the power of your shot. Leave the rest to gravity and the objects that litter the ground. Press [START] to pause and SELECT while paused to return to the main menu. My high score is 3852 feet! Beat that score and I'll give you a cookie
Take screenshots with the TRIANGLE button - saved in "Kitten Cannon/Screenshots/'. Highscores are now automatically saved in the Screenshots folder. Please redownload if you have a version released before 8 AM on this boards time. (just replace the eboot and add a screenshots folder if you dont want to have the longer transfer time).
Credits:
Game sprites, game sound effects and concept are
from the flash version of Kitten Cannon so the
rightful authors of those get credit as well.
The background music is the instrumental version
of Daft Punk and Kanye West's - "Harder Better
Faster Stronger". This uses OSlib, an advanced
2D graphics library for the PSP. The OSlib intro
was created by Brunni. AlwaysAmiYumi
for quick, responsive testing.
Everything uncredited so far was done by me (SG57).
Kitten Cannon's Intellectual Property Owner
(c) 2005-06 Dan Fleming - BurstStudios.com
Source is available upon request (OO C++).
Here are some mirrors:

http://www.mediafire.com/?wyjzzyzjt0j
Enjoy and vote for it if you like it more then any other entry in the competition
P.S. I don't know what the whole 3.xx, slim, phat issues are - all I know that this has been tested both on a phat and a slim and worked, 3.xx i can't say no or yes to - if i get word that it doesn't work on 3.xx i can recompile to work - thanks
EDIT
I updated hte info, basically I added screenshots. Press TRIANGLE at any time to take a screenshot, stored in "Kitten Cannon/Screenshots" folder. Highscores are now automatically saved as well, in the Screenshots folder.
Please redownload if you downloaded before the last time this post was edited

It’s almost Easter and Sony Computer Entertainment Asia is capitalizing on the holiday without any rabbits. By spending $2000 HKD ($256) on select PlayStation products they can snag one of these plush PSPs if you’re in Asia. Spend a little bit more and you’re entitled to a pastel purple PlayStation polo shirt. More? You might be able to get a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue windbreaker. Personally, I think the stuffed Blume series PSPs are the best gift out of the selection.
Oh, and the PlayStation 3 pillow pictured is not part of the promotion. It’s just a display item given out to a retailer in Hong Kong.

First, the firmware: on March 18th, PlayStation Portable owners will be prompted to update their firmware to v3.93, which expands support for PLAYSTATION Network titles.
At this time, users of the PSP Internet Radio feature will find 20 new internet radio players to enjoy. The new players are organized into more specific styles of music so that PSP users can easily find what they are looking for and listen to their favorite genres.
More than 50 percent of PSP users listen to music on their system, so we think a lot of you will enjoy this free, new expansion of their music library.

As it stands, Skype on the PSP is useful, but problematic. Biggest problem being you need two separate accessories to run it: headphones and a mic. That'll be sorted next month when Sony release their official Skype headset, which while still lacking an official price is currently listed on Amazon for the all-too-affordable price of $20.

Konami promised a special PlayStation 3 for the Japanese release of Metal Gear Solid 4, and that's exactly what the Japanese market will be getting. The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that the PS3 model that's set to be bundled with the game as part of the Japanese Premium Pack is an original steel color, referred to in Japanese as "Hagane." The set also includes a like-colored controller.
In addition to the bundle, Famitsu also got the first word on Japanese pricing for all versions of MGS4, due for Japanese release on 6/12. The game's standard edition, which includes MGS4 and the Metal Gear Online Starter Pack, will retail for 8,800 yen, putting it at the higher end of PS3 titles. For reference, major third party PS3 titles like Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Virtua Fighter 5 cost 7,800 yen at their release. On the PS2, major releases like Dragon Quest VIII or Final Fantasy XII were priced at around 8,800 yen, although Metal Gear Solid 3 was priced at 6,980 yen, more in line with standard PS2 releases of its time.
Fans who want bonus content will, of course, have to pay extra. The game's Special Edition, which adds a special color-label blu-ray video disc to the normal edition will sell for 9,800 yen. The Premium Pack hardware bundle includes all the content from the Special Edition along with the PS3 and controller detailed above and will go for 51,800 yen. All prices here include sales tax.
We currently don't have specifics on the internals of the hardware bundle's PS3 unit. Looking at the price, the package costs about 3,000 yen more than the cost of a 40 gigabyte PS3 and the MGS4 Special Edition, so we're wondering if there's more to the package than meets the eye, especially considering that the latest PS3 hardware bundle for Yakuza 3 actually represented a price of a couple of thousand yen over purchasing the hardware separately from the game.
More should be revealed later this week as Konami formally unveils the MGS4 packages to the Japanese press.

As the PSOne games on PSN drought continues on this side of the planet, Japan's Famitsu magazine has revealed that the original Metal Gear Solid will be hitting the PSN in spring for play on PS3 and PSP.
MGS was, in case you lived in the Himalayas at the time, one of the best games on the PSone - a platform-defining title upon which the whole modern MGS craze was built. Its arrival on the PSN would be sweet as f***.
But there is, unsurprisingly, no mention of the game coming to the UK PSN Store. We're badgering Sony UK as we type...

It's been rumoured before, but following comments from a Sony Music Publishing executive it looks as if there's a genuine possibility that Activision and Sony may come together to produce a Beatles tinged version of Guitar Hero.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Martin N. Bandier of Sony/ATV – the company who owns the copyrights to the Beatles back catalogue – admitted that, "It's something we have talked about and would like to pursue." Previously the use and distribution of Beatles songs has been famously guarded, with no presence online on iTunes or other download services, but this has recently relaxed suggesting that a Guitar Hero Beatles Pack is a very real possibility.
Activision has already announced an Aerosmith themed Guitar Hero, to be released this coming June.

Sony UK has issued a statement regarding the allegedly leaked list of PlayStation Network titles and release dates that's been doing the rounds on the Internet.
The list's most interesting highlights include something called Ratchet: Quest for Booty, which could be downloadable content for R&C PS3 or a PSN title in its own right. All manner of good stuff is promised for April, including new Lair, Super Stardust and WarHawk packs, plus a trailer for Resistance 2.
Something called The Last Guy also appears on the list, while a July release date is given for PlayStation Home.
Sony is declining to outright confirm or deny whether the list is genuine. However, the statement issued by the company certainly implies that while the document has come from SCEE, the information on it is subject to change.
"Internal working documents naturally have proposed dates against titles, but these change frequently and dates are not confirmed until issued as part of a press release or formal announcement," the statement reads. "The same applies to titles of games, which may be working titles or placeholders subject to later confirmation.
"As a result, no weight should be given to titles or dates that appear in this document, other than to those which have already been formally confirmed."
There's no point asking them just what Quest for Booty or The Last Guy are either: "We will not be commenting on any title mentioned that has not already been confirmed and/or given an official launch date." Ah well.

Infinity Ward has revealed that the next Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare patch for PS3 will finally be arriving this week.
"I'm thinking you'll be able to enjoy all the new features as soon as the next few days," said communications director Robert Bowling on his blog. "But I'll update you with I have a firm answer on that."
As for what you can expect from the patch, it sounds exactly like the last Xbox 360 update, with new kill cams and minor balancing tweaks.
One thing PS3 owners can rejoice about is the long awaited addition of a mute feature, so annoying online players can finally be silenced in-game and in matchmaking lobbies. Thank goodness for that.
Activision also revealed the first DLC map pack this week, which includes four new maps and will be available - for Xbox 360 at least - next month. There's currently no word on when (or if) the PS3 lot can expect it.

The PAL version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will feature the red Ferrari Formula 1 car that Kimi Raikkononen drove to world championship victory last year.
The Scuderia Ferrari F2007 will appear in the Ferrari dealership in the game for two million game credits and the first official shots of it in action are below.
If you're thinking that using an F1 car in a race against normal cars is outright cheating, you'd be right - it's so fast Sony dubs it "God Mode within Gran Turismo".
We expect the 2.4 litre 90-degree V8 engine (no, we didn't paste that from Sony's site to make it seem like we know loads about the car) and the turning ability of a go-kart, the F2007 will make mincemeat of any other car in the game.
Unless the Mclaren's put in there...

Koei plans to bring Soul Nomad to Europe in June.
This PS2 tactical role-playing game has been out in the US since September and has been earning decent scores.
Soul Nomad will appeal to those of you with a penchant for titles like Disgaea and Makai Kingdom.
You sell your soul to an arch enemy in return for enough power to defeat an emerging enemy, and command an ever-growing army in grid-based tactical warfare.
However, the battles themselves will be faster paced and real-time. You can prepare by manipulating statistics and gathering hordes of intelligence beforehand.
Pop over to our Soul Nomad gallery for a blast of screenshots.

Want ultra violence? How about this: a muscle-bound brute being sliced in half and their innards on show. Nasty.
Well, The Creative Assembly's Viking Battle for Asgard has been described as a "visceral wave of slaughter" after all. It appears that was no lie.
Anyway, you can see this gruesome gore and further blood-spattered delights in new screenshots from the game that we've uploaded. We hope Battle for Asgard's as good as it's promising to be. It's out on PS3 and Xbox 360 at the end of the month.

Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) announced today the release of SingStar '90s, the latest installment in the ever growing multi-million selling SingStar franchise, available exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Worldwide Studios, London Studio, SingStar '90s brings a hit list of Grunge, R&B, Rap and Pop music from artists that defined the decade including Paula Abdul, En Vogue, Vanilla Ice, Boyz II Men, Nirvana and more.
Available both as a stand-alone disc and packaged with two high-quality USB microphones, the addition of SingStar '90s as the fifth installment to the SingStar catalogue provides PlayStation fans with over 150 chart-topping songs and music videos to sing, compete and have fun with friends and family. Players can easily access any of the song lists while playing from SingStar '90s, SingStar Rocks!, SingStar Pop, SingStar '80s, or SingStar Amped with the disc swap feature which allows for seamless transition between titles.
"The SingStar franchise has been instrumental in making PlayStation 2 a social entertainment hub in the home. SingStar '90s will build on this success and provide fans with the songs and videos that made boy bands and flannel shirts all the rage," said Jeff Reese, director, software marketing, SCEA. "This year will be landmark for SingStar as we continue to deliver compelling content on PlayStation 2 while also revolutionizing the franchise as we bring it to PlayStation 3 on May 20 by giving players access to purchase hundreds of songs and videos across multiple genres, build and customize party playlists, and build a community of user-created performances."
Regardless of music or gaming ability, aspiring rock stars can select from 30 hit songs to sing along with while watching the actual music video on screen. Performing to such crowd pleasing favorites as "U Can't Touch This", "Pump up the Jam", and "Ice Ice Baby", players can take their turn in the spotlight solo-style or share the spotlight with multiplayer modes, including cooperative Duet Mode, one-on-one Battle Mode, and the team-based Pass-the-Mic which accommodates up to eight players. In addition, SingStar '90s is compatible with the popular EyeToy USB camera which allows players to watch themselves belt it out as the main act and record their performance for playback. Players can also save their favorite vocal performances onto a Memory Card for future audio playback and customize and enhance playback with numerous effects.
SCEA will support SingStar '90s with a media advertising campaign, full promotional support including in-store demonstrations, retailer supported Social Gaming Areas, merchandising support, broad-based public relations support, and an immersive and interactive SingStar website at http://www.us.playstation.com/singstar/.
The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated SingStar '90s "T" for "Teen". For more information about the ESRB, please visit www.esrb.org.

via Gamasutra
[In this informal opinion piece, Gamasutra publisher Simon Carless looks at the 'hardcore game renaissance' on the PlayStation 2, thanks to an influx of Japanese imports and the apparent willingness of Sony to concept approve quirkier titles.]
Having just received the new issue of Game Informer magazine with Alpha Protocol on the cover, I was very interested to spot an ad for O3 Entertainment's Chaos Wars, which SiliconEra has been discussing for a while.
It's coming out in April now for PS2 - there's a pre-order page on GameStop's website. This is actually a pretty obscure product - as the Wikipedia page explains:
"Chaos Wars is a crossover between several companies' console role-playing game series: Aruze's Shadow Hearts, Atlus's Growlanser, Idea Factory's Blazing Souls, Gakuen Toshi Vara Noir, Spectral Force, Spectral Souls and Hametsu no Mars, and RED Entertainment's Gungrave and Samurai Police/Shinsengumi Gunrouden."
But yet it's managed to get a U.S. release on PlayStation 2, and that's part of an interesting trend. As the PS2 hardware has matured, but continued to sell (heck, it managed 350,000 units in the U.S. in February), we seem to be seeing SCEA relax its concept approval on casual titles and Japanese niche games alike.
Time was it that standalone 2D games wouldn't make it out on PlayStation 2. It's difficult to work out what was actually permitted, since there are some extravagant rumors, but it certainly seems that titles like Arcana Heart wouldn't have made it out previously. And now it has.
With that in mind, I've assembled a brief list of some North American PS2 titles of recent and upcoming vintages that seem oriented specifically for the so-called "hardcore gamer."I have almost certainly missed some, so that's what the comments are for:
- Arcana Heart (PS2, Atlus, April 2008)
"A 2D arcade fighting game developed by Examu (formerly Yuki Enterprise)... the game features an original all-female cast (each a variation of the moe Anime-Girl archetype), and after choosing a character the player chooses an "elemental alignment" which determines the character's special moves."
- Taito Legends 2 (Destineer, May 2007)
"Taito Legends 2 is a follow-up collection of... Taito arcade games for the PlayStation 2 [including Cameltry, Cleopatra Fortune, Elevator Action Returns, and a host of others]... Bonus content includes hints, cheats and tips for most games, original game flyers, and one interview with Taito."
- King Of Fighters XI (SNK, November 2007)
"The latest installment of The King of Fighters series. The game continues the story of The King of Fighters 2003." But also see a host of others, including Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, World Heroes Anthology, Fatal Fury Battle Archives, and more. SCEA sometimes allowed compilations of SNK 2D titles before, but it definitely seems like they are getting more friendly as resources shift to Wii and next-gen consoles.
- Heavenly Guardian (UFO Interactive, February 2008)
"The successor to the cult favorite Kiki KaiKai series, known more commonly as Pocky & Rocky in North America. It is not precisely the Kiki KaiKai 2 sequel that had previously been announced and canceled - however it is developed by the same company, Starfish SD, and has been described as a "spiritual successor" and is allegedly "very similar" to the cancelled game according to Kiki Kai World's publisher, UFO Entertainment."
Some other alternative titles to mention might include Baroque, Mana Khemia, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, Persona 3 FES and a host of others. Again, it's not as if these titles all wouldnt have been released before.
But in a time that a lot of people are concentrating on the 'next-gen experiences', it's great to see some exquisitely niche PlayStation 2 titles - often with wonderfully crafted gameplay - flowing into the West.
Sure, these are niche games which may only sell 10,000 or 20,000 copies, but with the titles already produced for the Japanese market, and with Japanese game developers increasingly targeting the Western market, we may well see more in the future.

News/release from Red Squirrel:
This is the new version of my RSPsar Dumper!
This version has the compability with the new 3.93 Firmware, thanks to a unknown but very skilled "Blaky"
So a very BIG thank goes to him
RS Psar Dumper is a "derivated" from classical Psar Dumper (last version of which was released by M33 Team).
Its functions are the same of classical Psar Dumper (so dump Firmware from an Official Udpater Eboot), but it's more!
Infact this version has a user interface full of colors, more interactive and especially it has the new important function to make a dump of Firmware directly on PC, without using Memory Stick!
Infact this Homebrew has a USBHostfs connection function with a PC, so the program can read eboot directly from Hard Disk (that is a good profit because new Sony Updater Eboots weigh also more than 20Mb!) and it can also dump the Firmware directly on PC, so Memory Stick is NEVER used during the process!
v3.2
-Added the support for the 3.93 Firmware (thanks to Blaky!)
-Now program will be English in all PSPs, so italian.prx is been deleted.

This new version adds the following features:
- added Virtual Earth and Yahoo! Maps support (thanks to boomerang for the idea)
- address search menu
- customizable cache size
- added an option to load neighborhood to cache
- switched to TTF font
- fixed a bug with favorites
- new buttons mapping
If you are curious, here is a quick video presentation I did for the previous version: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=01tgRsq8HIM
The Virtual Earth and Yahoo Maps support was quite easy to add since the tile system is very similar to Google Maps.
The address search menu uses the Google Maps API.
You can now setup PSP-Maps to have a very big cache.
And you can use the "load neighborhood" option to load the tiles around the current position in the cache, with a large radius (useful to generate a map for offline usage).
This version is available on my website: http://royale.zerezo.com/psp/
Or as usual in attachment to this thread.

From : US

Original enter : YES
Support Motion : NO(but would love to add it if LUA player had the ability!!!)
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Project description:
This game is based of a game that me and my friends use to play before we had PSP, DS, Cellphones, etc. That game involved a piece of paper and 2 pens. On the game you would fold the paper into halve and draw a line down the middle. Next each person would draw 10 people 5 tanks, 3 cannons, 2 heli's, and one base. Each item had a predetermined life(amount of hits before dead). They would then take turns shooting at each other.
You took shots be placing a dot on your side of the field opposite of where you wanted to shoot. Next you would fold the paper over and push hard with the pen on the back side of the paper. This would transfer the dot across the field, causing a shot. That would hurt the character if it hit it, until it was dead and scratched out.
The point of the game was to be the last person standing. SO my game is very similar to that but electronically. Also I've added difficulty levels that make it harder to shoot and hit.
This game is the second released game by me and my company(the company consists of just me.) I spent all year on this and if it doesn't rate well I will probably sell all my PSP stuff(All ready packed up) and get a new laptop to code windows programs, and our school's $5,000-8,000 robot for FIRST Robotics. I wished I could have had time to ad AI but thats somthing that might get added in a future game. Also since LUA doesn't support the tilt sensor I was unable to add that to my game.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and try my game.

Project name : Bumper Harvest

Original enter : YES
Support Motion : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Project description:
Yes, it's harvest time down at the bumper farm!
Grab all the ripe red bumpers from the field!
Bumper Harvest is a tribute to a very popular (and very addictive)
casual game for the PC.
Use the D-Pad to aim the ball launcher left and right.
Hold down L to fine-tune your aiming.
Fire the ball by pressing X.
As the ball hits the small bumpers, they light up and are removed from the
field. Hit all the red bumpers to progress to the next level.
Red bumpers are worth 200 points; all others are worth 100 points.
Green bumpers give you 3 targeting guides each. There are two on each level.
Hold down R while aiming to use a targeting guide.
Guides are not saved between levels, so use 'em or lose 'em.
The yellow bumper gives you a bonus score multiplier. There is one on each level. All bumpers hit after the yellow bumper on the current shot are worth 10 times their normal score.
There are also two fixed bumpers on each level which are simply obstacles, and two active bumpers which give the ball a boost.
At the bottom of the screen is the return chute, which gives you a free ball if the ball lands in it at the end of the shot.
I'm happy with the way it's turned out, but I've cut it pretty fine.
Bumper Harvest is written in Lua. The current version is a self-contained app using LuaPlayer 0.20, and installs the same as any other 1.5 app. Unfortunately this means the PSP Slim is not supported.
If I get time before the closing deadline I'll try and upload a version using LuaPlayer HM, but it's giving me some trouble with sound right at the moment. (I'm also including a copy as plain Lua in case it works with a player on the Slim.)

Save.bufSize len = 4 * / / Gives the size sData
Save.buf = malloc (sizeof (char) * len); Setting memory buffer (text)

Strcpy (save.buf, "score = 25 ");// Written text in the buffer
If you are load mode:
- Responsible values will be returned in the structure sData!
It must have previously made an on sData.buffer malloc (and therefore give the value bufSize)!

News/release from daaa57150:
Mega Drops is a puzzle game combining many cool things from the puzzle games you know. The gameplay is very close to the wonderful "Puyo Puyo": a pair of blocks fall from the top, and you have to put it on the blocks stacking on the bottom so that the shapes match. You can rotate, move, and make the pair fall faster. Collide 4 blocks of the same shape and they explode. But unlike Puyo Puyo, Mega Drops is a solo game: your goal is to resist until the end of the level, by eliminating the lines coming from the bottom.
Mega Drops adds a lot more to that gameplay: some unique features and others inspired by "Tetris Attack" and "Magical Drop 3" for a great combo system and nice gameplay. Add to this some "Lumines" and "DJ Max portable" style (in 4 colors!), good electro music and you have it: Mega Drops.
The game contains 2 very different levels (in gameplay & style) each available in 3 difficulty modes.
The game also features a nice tutorial to get you started.

Ninja Theory has said its next title is original IP and definitely not a sequel to the Sony-owned Heavenly Sword.
The UK developer made it crystal clear to GamesIndustry.biz, explaining that it had already signed a publisher for its fresh Xbox 360 and PS3 project.
However, one one similarity it will have its continued focus on film production techniques. Co-founder Nina Kristensen even revealed Ninja Theory is considering creating a CGI film to accompany the new game.
"We're certainly targeting a triple-A blockbuster, with two and a half years in production - a big game that builds on our core strengths of story-telling, cinematics and combat. But we're actually looking at something in addition to that - we're considering opportunities in creating a CGI movie using the game engine alongside the game itself," Kristensen told GamesIndustry.biz.
"The game's certainly the most important thing, and we haven't decided for sure to do this, but it's something we're looking at. It's an interesting idea."
Nina Theory worked closely with Hollywood rubber-face Andy Serkis on Heavenly Sword, who oversaw motion capture and directed the cinematics.
Mission Impossible 3 and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon audio specialist Play It By Ear provided the foley sound work.
"If you want to make something that's really high-end, really engaging, if you get the best talent from the movie industry and you're able to integrate effectively into the game you're going to end up with the best possible results," continued Kristensen.
"There's a lot of these relationships that we intend to maintain going forward into our new game."
Heavenly Sword was released last September and picked up considerable applause for its cinematic cut-scenes and dramatic direction.

Ubisoft has told CVG that the official stance on Haze remains that it's exclusive to PS3 "for now", in response to recent reports that the FPS will never come to 360.
Stories on the 'net today report that unnamed Ubisoft spokespersons attending the Play.com Live event in Wembley Stadium, London, over the weekend confirmed that the nectar-fuelled shooter will only ever appear on PS3.
But Ubisoft has told us that the game is "exclusive on PS3 for now". The "for now" part is what leads to 'timed exclusive' speculation.
It was originally expected for PS3, 360 and PC, but later shifted to lead on PS3, with other formats thought to follow. Ubisoft has never outright confirmed that it will be a permanent PS3 exclusive.
Maybe it's waiting to see how well it does on Sony's console first.

Many games use the current gen consoles to make pretty pictures, but Fracture is "one of the few games" that really pushes the hardware on a gameplay front, LucasArts has told CVG.
Fracture features an innovative Terrain Deformation system that allows players to use various unique weapons and tools to bend, warp and deform the ground below their feet. This, says LucasArts, was a challenge to get working, and pushes the high-performance consoles to their limits.
"We are really pushing the limits of what the Xbox 360 and PS3 can do with Fracture," the developer told us.
"While a lot of games are pushing the limits of what can be done visually in games, we also wanted to push gameplay to levels that literally could not be done on the previous generation of hardware," it added.
"To put it simply, Fracture is one of the few games that really takes advantage of all of the processing power of the new consoles."
Bold words, but how will the final game measure up? Check out a preview here, and look out for the fu | | |
