GPS-360 to PSP!

August 1st, 2006, 01:52 Posted By: A Fn NOOB

Inspired by 'Deniska', I decided to make a cable to interface a GPS reciever I had collecting dust for some time. Its the Pharos GPS-360 with Microsoft branding; packaged with Streets & Trips 2005. It uses the SIRF-II chip, and communicates with the PSP at the same voltage (2.5V), and (default) protocol (4800 8N1 TTL) as the PSP. These units can be found new and used for dirt cheap

From the research I have done, any GPS can be interfaced with the PSP. Some units however would require more hardware/software modifications than the SIRF-II based GPS recievers.

If anyone has any questions on the particulars of how to do this, I will happily post more details of the pinouts, and the version of deniska's GPS-Viewer that I compiled to work with 4800-baud GPS units. (By far the most common speed)

Pin 1 RXD
Pin 2 GND--------------------------{}-------> Pin 2 on PSP
Pin 3 TXD--------------------------{}-------> Pin 6 on PSP
Pin 4 GND--------------------------{}-------> Pin 2 on PSP
Pin 5 VCC<--(3.5-5.5VDC input<-
Pin 6 Unused |
|
Battery + ---------------------------|
Battery - ------------------------{}-------> Pin 1 on PSP

Never use wire colors. I think that some mfgrs switch up the
colors to f*** with people. For instance, my PSP remote
cable's wire colors do not correspond to the ones at lua.org,
or any other place Ive seen. Youve got to use an ohmmeter or
whip up a simple continuity tester with a battery and light
bulb, so that you can write down which color wire goes to
which pin.

Im just going to tell you how I powered the GPS, although
there are several ways to achieve the same result. (You could
power it from the PSP battery if you wanted to, but not from
the serial port as it only supplies 2.5V DC)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2..._NOOB/psp2.jpg

I used DB9 serial connectors (Like the ones on a joystick port
from an Atari 2600 or Commodore Vic 20/ 64) and connected all
the wires from the PSP to a female DB9. I then took my 4 wires
from the GPS and hooked in TXD and GND, GND to a male DB9. I
wired a Motorola Lithium battery from an old cell phone (2 yrs
old is OLD for a cell phone nowdays eh?) to feed VCC on GPS.
The negative from the battery can be hooked to your other
grounds (pins 2 & 4 @ GPS,to 2 on PSP). What I did, however,
is wire "-" from the battery to PIN 1 of the PSP. This
way,the GPS is only powered when the connector is plugged in
to the PSP and not powered all the time.
I suspect there may be a way to turn power on and off via
software but not sure yet. (By interrupting GND)
Another reason for the Moto battery is that it's very
thin,rechargeable,and has an embedded protection circuit on a
little PCB inside. (dont ever throw away any old electronics)
I couldve done a neater job with this cable but its sturdy.
If you dont want to cut up your USB cable for the GPS, do a
search on "Jornada" I think it is, its a PDA that uses the
same connector, I got one from a site called Gomadic, but that
was 2 yrs ago or so. Id like to find some of these PSP serial
connectors somewhere.

I soldered all the wires to the db9 connectors, and used a bunch of heat shrink tubing to keep the wires from shorting to each other. You could make a dedicated connector if you cut up a psp-remote cable and a "Jornada" connector.... but soldering the wires is the only way its going to hold up under any stress at all.

It seems like a lot of people have a phobia about using soldering irons. Just buy one and practice on some old electronics by desoldering components and soldering them back up. Theres plenty of material on the internet about how to solder.

And you dont have to solder anything on your PSP, or GPS, its just at the cables. [And no resistors]

Thats the piece going from the PSP-remote connector to a DB9. It has a shield, and I beefed up the white cable by putting heat shrink tubing over the wire and the molded plastic "shoulder". The shield has a clamp inside to keep the wire from pulling out.

I havent put a shield on the other wire going to the GPS & battery because Im am going to make a multipurpose connector in an Altoids tin so that I can interface the PSP with other serial devices, and also have the Motorola battery supply power to the PSP if needed.

PS3 heading for a Crysis?

August 1st, 2006, 19:18 Posted By: wraggster

A job listing for the position of PS3 programmer appearing on Crytek's website is causing us to speculate that the dev's gorgeous PC FPS Crysis could be porting to Sony's new console. One of the responsibilities attached to the position, you see, is "Cross platform code development", while "Experience with next generation cross-platform development" is a requirement.

But the speculation could be purely crazy, and Crytek's PS3 construction could very well turn out to have nothing to do with Crysis at all. The studio has recently stated that it has several "vastly different" games in development at its Frankfurt headquarters, and speaking to us Crytek also gave firm word that Crysis would be a PC-only title. It wouldn't tell us naughty fibs now, would it?

Either way, if a console port does turn out to be in the works, it's unlikely we would see it anywhere near the launch of its PC counterpart, considering Crysis is due out in the first quarter of 2007 and the studio is only just advertising for PS3 programmers.

We'll let you know if any more info on Crytek's console development surfaces.

Fresh Lumines II trailer falls into place

August 1st, 2006, 19:20 Posted By: wraggster

A new gameplay trailer has been released showing offf Tetsuya Mizuguchi's puzzle sequel, Lumines II, which drops onto PSP later this year.

For those who've missed out on the acclaimed music puzzler, it's a bit like playing Tetris on top of a blaring beatbox, and about as addictive as chain-smoking cigarettes laced with chocolate. We're sure you'll get the gist of it after watching this video - just don't play it on the train unless you want to end up missing your stop.

Lumines II is due out in Q4 2006.

Every Extend Extra: New Trailer

August 1st, 2006, 19:22 Posted By: wraggster

Q Entertainment has released a new trailer for Every Extend Extra, its PC-adapted PSP music puzzler which hits the Land of the Rising Sun tomorrow.

E3, as Q likes the game to be known, is Tetsuya Mizuguchi's own adaptation of PC shareware game, Every Extend. The game tasks you with guiding a 'cursor' around the screen avoiding enemies, and then strategically self-destructing to take out as many block-shaped nemeses as possible. If the game turns out to be anything as addictive as Q's other PSP puzzler, Lumines, then we should be in for a highly gratifying puzzling treat.

Every Extend Extra is currently penned for release on our shores on October 27, but look out for our import review, coming soon.

The Return of the Knight: All-New Goku Makaimura (Extreme Ghouls'n Ghosts) Out Now

August 1st, 2006, 19:48 Posted By: wraggster

News from Lik Sang



When the classic hero-saves-princess tale Ghosts'n Goblins (Makaimura in Japan) originally hit the Arcades in the mid-1980s, gamers were first introduced to Capcom's notion of a demon-populated underworld that at the time felt like a dark, interactive cartoon. Soon the side-scrolling platformer got released on the NES and versions for other systems appeared. Ah, sweet retro memories of pushing the stick fast in the direction of where Arthur the Knight was facing to increase weapon speed (worked like a charm on the Commodore 64 version with the then unrivaled Competition Pro Joystick!)... Due to the ingeniously straightforward, but challenging gameplay the series produced one smash hit after the other with the sequels that followed later: 1988 saw the release of Ghouls'n Ghosts and finally Super Ghouls'n Ghosts aka. Cho Makaimura (designed for the SNES) hit the videogames market in 1991. Over the years, our main hero was blessed with many upgrades, like new moves, weapons, armor and magic power ups.

A brief history of one of the most beloved Jump'n Shoot franchises behind us, the future of Arthur (while still running around in underwear when suffering a blow) is here, with Goku Makaimura (Extreme Ghosts 'n' Goblins) representing an exclusive PSP edition of a true Capcom legend. None other than Tokurou Fujiwara - the original's creator - holds responsible for directing this maxed-out masterpiece. Now making use of a 3D graphics engine, being true to the glorious past with a side-scrolling layout, Goku Makaimura includes more spells and weapons than ever before and offers non-linear gameplay. An authentic example of revisiting a retro gem and reshapening it to be rewarded with a current classic in its own right.

As the US version is still a longer while off, we recommend getting the Asian copy of Goku Makaimura (Extreme Ghouls'n Ghosts) now, which is in stock today. All pre-orders have already been taken care of and new orders are leaving our warehouse within 24 hours for only US$ 49.90 (shipped!). While import gamers appreciate our Free World Shipping promotion, it's also reassuring that you can play this game (like all PSP titles) on any PSP system bought wherever globally. Couldn't be easier, you just gotta love this handheld's true region-free capability.

EA outlines PS3 launch plans, talks Wii

August 2nd, 2006, 15:18 Posted By: wraggster

EA has said it expects to have four to five games out for PS3 between the console's launch and the end of the year, confirming at this stage three of the titles: Need for Speed Carbon; Madden NFL 07; and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07.

Discussing its launch games line-up for Sony's next-gen console - during a conference call held with media and analysts yesterday - the company also admitted, while fielding a question on Xbox 360 versus PS3 technical capabilities, that it's extremely unlikely that the initial wave of titles will do PS3's hardware justice.

"This Christmas, it's going to be difficult to harness the full power of the PS3 on first generation software versus what will be second generation 360 games, so they're going to be more alike than different, is our opinion at this time," an EA exec commented.

They continued: "As those machines develop over time [...] there's a lot of horsepower inside the PS3 that we'll be able to unlock over years two, three, and four that we're very excited about."

EA additionally took the opportunity to touch on Wii and DS during the conference call, revealing plans to boost focus on both machines. "We're definitely going after those platforms", the publisher revealed, "...we have ramped up [game] production for the Wii and DS Lite". It added: "In terms of relative investment on the Wii and the DS, we are moving resources against those platforms to increase SKU count."

The publisher went on to say, however, that it only expects to have a couple of titles out for Wii's launch period - Need for Speed Carbon and Madden NFL 07 - and a total of five released by the end of the company's fiscal year - March 2007. It's possible that EA's Wii games will retail at $49.99 in the US (apparently, Nintendo has indicated that first-party Wii games will not retail for more than this amount over the pond), but that remains to be confirmed.

Reportedly, EA didn't have an awful lot to say about Xbox 360 during the conference call, chairman and CEO Larry Probst simply stating, "We're pleased to be the leading publisher on the Xbox 360".

Bully still in development

August 2nd, 2006, 15:29 Posted By: wraggster

Rockstar Games has confirmed that Bully - subject of much controversy - is still set for release in 2006.

"Bully's very much still in development and slated for release later this year," a Rockstar spokesperson told us.

Although very little has been seen of the Rockstar Vancouver game, it's still managed to follow GTA into the pages of the tabloids thanks to widespread criticism from hair-triggered politicians and publicity-hungry lawyers.

This despite a relatively light-hearted premise - a troublesome schoolboy standing up to bullies by pulling pranks.

Rockstar has remained fairly quiet about it, but development has continued undeterred. "We hope to be showing it to people soon," a spokesperson told us.

SNK cold on PS3 development

August 2nd, 2006, 15:30 Posted By: wraggster

SNK Playmore could wait as long as four years before releasing a PlayStation 3 game, despite having already pledged titles to Nintendo Wii.

"My first impression is that it's expensive. The PlayStation 2 is good enough. It's small and cheap. For us, for manufacturers, we have to invest in a new system, and the PlayStation 3 is a risk," overseas marketing manager Yoshihito Koyama told gaming blog Kotaku.

"There won't be enough consoles at launch. Few consoles mean few software sales. We need to wait three or four years. Maybe 2009-2010 is a good time to release a game for the PS3."

Advertisement
SNK Playmore, whose games are published in the UK by Ignition (and, under the terms of an agreement announced Monday, distributed by Atari), has previously said that it plans to support Nintendo Wii.

It's already planning a Metal Slug Anthology, based on the popular 2D shoot-'em-up, and president Ben Herman said the company wanted to use the Wii controller's "in a new and unique way that enhances the gameplay".

SNK's take on the other next-gen contenders, Sony and Microsoft, was previously unknown, although a recent deal with Ignition to publish future titles in the UK was worded to cover next-generation projects in addition to the likes of KoF: Maximum Impact 2 for PlayStation 2.

Carnage Heart Portable

August 2nd, 2006, 15:35 Posted By: wraggster

New commercial game for PSP released:



A sequel to the PlayStation robot battle game known for its requirement that you both build up your mech physically and program its AI. You first start out by building the physical side of your mech, mixing and matching parts from 30 pre-designed mechanical beasts and even editing your own emblem. Once you're satisfied with how things look on the outside, you head on inside, creating movement patterns for your mech by placing special move chips in slots on the mech's CPU. You're free to test your mech out in a test battle, and can make changes if you're unhappy with the result. You don't actually fight battles directly in Carnage Heart Portable. Instead, you create a team of three robots, which then heads off to do automatic warfare against enemies.

Atari signs UK distribution deal with Ignition Entertainment

August 2nd, 2006, 15:37 Posted By: wraggster

Via GIBiz

Atari UK has signed a new agreement to distribute the latest releases from Ignition Entertainment and SNK Playmore across multiple European territories.

The deal includes PSP puzzler Mercury Meltdown, due out in September, plus SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters for Nintendo DS, and PSP titles Blade Dancer and Metal Slug Anthology.

Atari will also distribute SNK's forthcoming PS2 products - NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, Samurai Showdown 6, and King of Fighters games Maximum Impact 2, Neowave and KOF XI.

"Ignition are known for publishing games that consumers want, and we believe this to be our strongest line-up ever," said Ignition's Phu Tien.

"We had numerous approaches from various distribution entities across Europe. However we chose Atari as they demonstrated commitment and drive, as well as being able to deliver a strong distribution presence."

Redick, College Hoops drive to PS3

August 2nd, 2006, 15:39 Posted By: wraggster

Chances are, anyone who has watched college basketball over the last four years has heard the phrase, "Redick for three!" The Redick in question is of course J.J., the Duke Blue Devils superstar who has won numerous awards, including multiple player of the year trophies.

Add one more honor to the long list of Redick's accolades--cover athlete for 2K Sports' College Hoops 2K7. Redick, who was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the off-season, will also serve as the game's spokesperson, temporarily putting to rest that his marketability was tarnished by a DUI charge in June.

A statement from 2K Sports today also revealed that the game, previously announced only for the Xbox 360, is headed to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and Xbox this fall. The fall release makes it a likely candidate for a launch title on the PS3, which hits US stores on November 17.

Redick, though one of the best players in college basketball history, was often the focus of hatred from fans as the best player for high-profile (and much maligned) Duke University. One of Redick's best friends and main competition last year for player of the year honors, former Gonzaga star Adam Morrison, remains his rival on the digital court, as he is now doing promotional work for Electronic Arts' NBA Live 07.

PS3: Pros and cons up until now

August 2nd, 2006, 15:47 Posted By: wraggster

Associated Content explores Sony's pros and cons in how they've handled their PS3 campaign up until now. From the article: "The PS3 has caused quite a stirring over the past 2 years: from a general excitement to astonishment to disappointment. How did this happen? Let's look at what Sony did right, and what they did wrong, and every shades of gray in between."

The list is organized as follows:

PROS

The technical power of the Cell
Blu-ray: more space (52G) is only a good thing
PlayStation is still the leader in the gaming industry
PSX, PS2 backwards compatibility (huge library of games)
Strong 3rd-party support
Controller: motion-sensing addition only a good thing
Online play (though still lackluster)
Standard harddrives
1080p high definition gaming
Web browsing, just like the PSP
Connection to the PSP to enhance gameplay

CONS

Cost: we've said it a million times
Blue-Ray: too expensive storage medium
Size: the thing is big
High game prices
Architecture: Cell is too unique and could cause developer problems
No rumble
Even with redundancy, PS3 might have high defects at launch
Despite its strengths, the PS3 will only be marginally better than its competitors
Ken Kutaragi (will ruin the PS3?)

Spore Heading to Consoles

August 2nd, 2006, 15:51 Posted By: wraggster

Speaking exclusively to SPOnG, Sims creator and quiet legend Will Wright has pointed towards Nintendo's Wii console as a likely host for his upcoming mega-game Spore, with the unique controller giving the famed developer an inspirational shot in the arm.

"We’re looking at all the platforms for Spore, because we’re thinking about Spore as a franchise, not as a PC game. We’re going to do the PC game first, but really, what we’re trying to launch is an entire franchise that will be all across platforms," Wright told us when we caught up with him in San Francisco recently.

"It will probably take very different forms depending on the platforms. We might even pull out parts of the game – so you might be playing part of the game on a handheld platform, you might be playing the entire game but maybe more avatar-based on a console. The consoles are getting kind of different now – I think there’s a really interesting distinction between the Wii and the Xbox 360 and PS3. Something like the Wii offers a lot of interesting creative opportunities for the editors, with the controller."
\ advertisement /



Wright continues, "That’s been one of the ongoing problems with consoles: they don’t have a mouse. The mouse is a very good random-access device for putting on the screen; a console controller really makes you want the game avatar-based, so you move on character – that’s why RTS games suck on consoles. With Spore, about half the game is avatar-based already – the creature game and the space game – and it would be pretty easy for us to make the intermediate levels avatar-based, so from the beginning, we thought about how we could move Spore to platforms including consoles."

Stay tuned for our full, no-questions barred (except the one about the release date) interview with Wright in the coming days, only on SPOnG, where you'll learn about the possibility of Spore on handheld gaming platforms and a huge amount more on what is without question one of the most interesting and innovative videogames in development right now.

Believe us, there's a lot more to come.

More Description of Playstation 2 PS2 Logitech Action Controller w/ Dual Vibration Feedback

The advanced D-pad design is more responsive to fast direction changes. Traditional single pivot point designs have to raise the opposite side to quickly changed direction, forcing the cap to travel from an elevated position to a compressed level - twice the distance compared to the advanced Logitech design. During gameplay, these milliseconds can mean the difference between advancing to the next level and "Game Over".

PS3 to make or break Sony forevermore

August 2nd, 2006, 17:18 Posted By: wraggster

More recycled analysis brought to you by Bloomberg. A key point to keep in mind: Sony predicts a 5-year recoup for losses due to the PS3's manufacturing costs and price point. That's going to hurt, especially since the average console life is around five years (a few exceptions noted). Masafumi Oshiden, from Merrill-Lynch, said "PlayStation 3 will be a huge money loser in the beginning." Spoken adequately enough. It's true -- we all know it's going to be very hard for Sony. Estimates show that about 200 billion yen was invested into the development of the cell processor alone.

Another point to keep in mind is the notion that "Sony's PlayStation 3 introduction in November may be hampered by fewer and less-powerful games because the company hasn't given final technical details of the new console, according to video-game publishers." So, is delivering 10,000 dev kits not going to cut it? Will IBM be able to pull better yields for the cell processor in time for the PS3 launch? If not, Sony won't even have the chance to recoup in five years -- they may pull the plug sooner than that, unless we give them our support.

MS Employees Debate Mod Chips

August 2nd, 2006, 23:32 Posted By: wraggster

Via Slashdot

a post on Xbox strategy group member Andre Vrignaud's blog discusses the view of mod chips from inside Microsoft. Not surprisingly, he concludes that they're a barrier to a viable business model. Just the same, the post has some good consideration of the issue from both sides. Especially interesting is his comment that
"a friend of mine at Microsoft once demonstrated a modded PSP to Bill Gates and showed off all of the interesting things that enabled. According to my friend Bill was intrigued and asked the audience what we might be able to do to encourage this sort of thing without damaging the business."
Even if it's a sticky wicket, at least they're thinking along the right lines.

Very interesting wouldnt you say

Atari to hold off on PlayStation 3 titles until 2007

August 2nd, 2006, 23:34 Posted By: wraggster

Speaking in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Atari CEO Bruno Bonnell has confirmed that the publisher has no plans to release any PS3 games before 2007.

Bonnell said Atari intends to support all three next-gen consoles "fairly equally", adding, "It's just that we're lacking information about the PS3 at this stage, because we have basically a rough release date and a high retail price point.

"As far as the Wii and the Xbox 360 go, we'll be there for this season; for PS3, we'll probably have to wait a little later in the year before we release some new titles." And, according to Bonnell, that means no Atari titles on PS3 until 2007.

The PS3 is slated for a global launch this November, priced at 499 Euro for the 20GB model and 599 Euro for the 60GB version. But Bonnell does not believe that the console's high point puts it at any risk of failure: "I think that by deciding to put the PS3 at this price, Sony has chosen to really differentiate itself from the other consoles.

"The fact that you have Blu-ray, and the fact that it's HD compatible - all this is driving me to think that Sony is picking up the high-end of the market, the hardcore, passionate fans. There will be a time they can reduce the price and access more people, but clearly that's a technical choice that Sony has made to be selective on the field at stage one," he added.

Read the full interview to find out why we're likely to see Atari titles arrive on Wii much sooner than they appear on PS3, what the future holds for the company following its recent financial difficulties, and what Bonnell thinks about the new format E3.

Every Extend Extra Released

August 2nd, 2006, 23:47 Posted By: wraggster



News from Play Asia

Every Extend Extra (E3) is a mix between Lumines and Rez, both titles developed by mastermind Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Gameplay involves the player blowing himself up in order to try and cause a huge combo. Blowing oneself up takes away from your overall stock, but hopefully the combo is big enough to earn another "life" or two, or "extend" gameplay. There is also a time limit, so one can't just sit idle and avoid wasting stock. There are also power-ups called "quickens," that speed the player up.

E3 isn't too far from its independent roots. The main difference from the original is the music variable. Much like Lumines, E3 progresses via "skins," each one with different backgrounds, speeds, music and sound effects. In addition to that, E3 also adds different explosion types, which can link chains in different ways than in Every Extend. Lastly, E3 adds a "charge" feature. By holding down the explosion button, the bomb is charged. The longer the button is held, the bigger the blast radius.

PS3 to come out on top, says Jez San

August 3rd, 2006, 20:22 Posted By: wraggster

Jez San, founder of the now-defunct Argonaut Software and now involved with PS3 slash 'em-up, Heavenly Sword has said that he thinks the PlayStation 3 will come out on top in the next-gen console war, "but only because its got Blu-ray."

Speaking to The Guardian, San said: "I think the combination of a next-generation games machine and a next-generation DVD player that plays full high-definition movies is very compelling, despite the huge price. Remember price is just a function of time and volume. It doesn't matter what the PS3 comes out at, it's what it gets down to, over time, that's important."

In the same article, market analyst Paul Jackson of Forrester Research agrees with San's comments, saying that Sony stands a good chance because, "Far more people will go for a PS3 than spend $1,000 on a Blu-ray player ...it's a question of how quickly [Sony] gets the price down."

Jackson goes on to echo San's own comments on the importance of price. "You can't get to the mass market until you get down to $300/£200 [mark]."

Jackson then asserts that it's going to be far from an easy ride for Sony, because of the amount of negative press that currently surrounds its next-gen console: "You can't over-estimate how much negativity there is around the PlayStation 3 in the web ...The stories just keep getting worse and worse. They've got a real fight on their hands."

There's only a few months left until the PS3 hits - and most-likely vanishes from - store shelves, and with likely stock shortages ensuring a Christmas sell-out for the console, it's going to be next year before we get the slightest inkling of who's really going to rule the next gen.

But as San points out, the unique appeal of both Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft's machines means it could very well end up being a three-way tie. Whichever way the next gen cookie crumbles, it's certainly going to be an interesting 12 months...

Harrison: "We are in full swing"

August 3rd, 2006, 20:27 Posted By: wraggster

Word recently reached us that the PlayStation 3 has officially entered production, and in an interview with The Guardian, Sony's president of worldwide studios, Phil Harrison has shed some light on the on-going development work on the console.

According to Harrison, "It's all going well. We are in full swing, from a developer point of view, and over 10,000 developer kits have been shipped. Developers now have final [PS3] hardware in their hands, though there will be some upgrades to the operating system - there's nothing unusual about that. The new controller is now in developers' hands, so all the pieces of the puzzle are there."

Also in the interview, Harrison comments on the arrival of working Blu-ray drives in the PS3 dev kits, noting that many studios also have blu-ray burners in their PCs, "so they are now doing their first iterations of games running off discs," he says.

"Signs are good," adds Harrison, "right now there are more than 100 Blu-ray movies available today, in the US. More than 100 games are in development [for the PS3], and all the major third party publishers have pledged their strategic support for the platform."

Sony is gearing up for its next big push for the PS3, which will start at the Tokyo Games Show on September 22, where the father of PlayStation, Ken Kutruagi is scheduled to give the keynote speech. Hopefully with the appearance or some new game titles and a more solid-looking launch line-up, Sony will be able to make up for the mostly-negative reaction to its showing at this year's E3. Stay tuned.

Logitec intros LBD-A2FU2/WM, first OS X-friendly Blu-ray burner

August 3rd, 2006, 20:30 Posted By: wraggster

For those Mac users who just can't wait to start filling up those $20+ Blu-ray writeables, the anticipation is just about over. Later this month, Japanese storage specialist Logitec will begin shipping what's touted as the "world's first Mac-compatible" Blu-ray disc burner. While Blu-ray burners for Windows-based machines have been popping up fairly frequently of late, OS X has been left out in the cold, (but considering the current price of Blu-ray media, we're assuming it hasn't been a total calamity). Nevertheless, the LBD-A2FU2/WM is an external 2x burner that will support DVD-RAM, DVD±R/RW, dual-layer DVD±R, CD-R / RW, and obviously BD-R / BD-RE discs. This FireWire / USB 2.0 combination drive supports PCs and Macs, and it's presumed that Roxio's Toast 7 Titanium software played a role in OS X getting its functionality groove on -- Roxio supposedly began offering Blu-ray drive makers a Mac-friendly version of the software, and sure enough, that's what you'll get with the Logitec. So for all you Mac fans who've felt a bit left behind, you can still get up to speed in just a couple weeks, but know it might cost you more than your MacBook (¥132,000 or $1,148), so you may want to think twice before cruising to Japan to pick one up.

Gangs of London leak confirmed

August 3rd, 2006, 20:35 Posted By: wraggster

News from Eurogamer

Sony Computer Entertainment UK has condemned the leaking of forthcoming PSP title Gangs of London to the internet, after copies of an internal beta of the game appeared on BitTorrent sites overnight.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Sony spokesman David Wilson also warned consumers that the leaked version is incomplete and buggy.

"The version of Gangs Of London that you have brought our attention to here is a pre-production 'preview' version," he revealed. "It is not the complete game and it has anomalies in the code since it hasn't been through our QA process yet."

Wilson also reasserted his firm's strong opposition to game piracy - and while it's clearly not relevant in this situation, as BitTorrent piracy creates no revenues, he pointed to the oft-cited link between piracy and organised crime.

"We are wholly opposed to game piracy," he commented. "Even if people have no sympathy for games developers losing money (though in the end that damages our industry and hurts gamers) - there are proven links that exist between counterfeiting and organised crime and that has some serious consequences (and victims) that people should give due consideration."

Gangs of London, which itself has more than a little bit to do with organised crime and gangland violence, will be out on the PSP later this year, and will allow players to engage in tactical urban combat around the streets of London and the capital's most famous landmarks - all without the aforementioned serious consequences.

Maybe another reason why Sony is taking a real look at the Homebrew scene, the warez people spoil it for us all ?

Rockstar wins latest GTA: San Andreas court case

August 3rd, 2006, 20:49 Posted By: wraggster

Judge dismisses strip club's accusations of trademark infringement

A US district judge has dismissed claims by a Los Angeles strip club that Rockstar Games breached copyright by designing a similar looking virtual strip club for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

According to documents obtained by US website Gamasutra, E.S.S. Entertainment - owners of The Play Pen club - filed suit against Rockstar in April of last year. The suit claimed that the strip club in GTA, which is titled The Pig Pen, represented trademark infringement, due to its similar name, logo, awning and 'Totally nude' advertising slogan.

Rockstar conceded that its artists worked from photographs of real life LA locations - including the Play Pen - when designing the game, but argued that they "changed the names, building designs and overall look and feel of the locations... To make them fit the virtual, cartoon-style world of San Andreas and the series' irreverent tone."

Rockstar also referred to the lawsuit MCA Records successfully defended over the song Barbie Girl, when the judge ruled that trademark rights "do not entitle the owner to quash an unauthorised use of the mark by another who is communicating ideas or expressing points of view."

Judge Margaret Morrow agreed with Rockstar's argument, ruling that, "Defendants' use of the Play Pen trade dress and trademark bears some artistic relevance to the game, and does not explicitly mislead consumers as to the source or content of the game." Rockstar, Judge Morrow said, was therefore entitled to claim a First Amendment defence.

Perhaps the controvery surrounding GTA: San Andreas will finally die down now, following both this legal decision and the ruling by the FTC over the Hot Coffee scandal. But chances are Rockstar will be in the news again soon - the company recently confirmed that controversial school-based game Bully is on track for release by the end of the year.

Translation of NJ's new page for his CPS2 emulator!

August 4th, 2006, 04:02 Posted By: BelmontSlayer

The original page is here,

http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psp/cps2.html

Here's what I could translate from the page. (My Japanese is a little rusty) If this translation is used elsewhere please give credit to me (BelmontSlayer), as this took almost 45 minutes!

Japanese To English Tranlation

When I first made my CPS1 emulator, the emulation of the Musashi M68000 (The core of MAME) wasn't running so good. After figuring out how the core operated I was able to emulate the remodeling of C68K. Even more suprising was that sound worked quite well!

When i decided to try CPS2, the processing of sprites was actually easier than CPS1. Sprite proccessing is a big factor in emulation.

The PSP has 32MB of memory, but the OS takes 8MB by itself, so only 24MB memory can be used. Because 4MB is used for the emulator, you can only use 20MB as the data area for the ROM of the game. But, memory is not enough alone. If there is no XOR table for the encoding cancellation of ROM, its not very usefull.

I tried using sound with the emulator. As for BGM (Background Music) there is no problem, but because the SE (Sound Effects) cracks somewhat, it becomes a matter of concern. I tried lowering the volume, but it isn't solved that simply.

Also, there are several sprites displaying strangely. This is also a problem unless it is solved.

I tried using the same cache system as my NEOGEO emulator, and was able to move in-game. But, according to my expectations that's not good enough. Because the emulator is slowly reading the cache file, the game play very slow. The reason is that smooth animation when using sprite cache is not effective.

The CPS2 emulation is a small advancement. But throwing out the project halfway, without a regret is kind of hard.

My motivation is slowly declining. (NJ laughs)
I still haven't decided if I will release this or not.

End Of Tranlation

So hopefully he will release the source code...But it seems as if he thinks smooth emulation isn't possible.

-- Update --
A test build has been posted on the website. You can download it by following the link at the top of this news article.

Just a note, Make sure you run your rom zip though the included converter. Games will not run without the cache file.

Full Auto 2 tears-up new screenshots

August 4th, 2006, 14:57 Posted By: wraggster

If there's a better way to wrap-up the week than with a load of rocket-launching car screenshots, then we'd like to hear it (beer drinking omitted, obviously). Either way, here's a selection of tooled-up motors for you to gawp at in the latest batch of Full Auto 2: Battlelines screenshots.

The PS3 sequel continues the shotgun-blasting, time-rewinding gameplay that debued on the Xbox 360, though it naturally adds a number of improvements including the obligatory car and weapon list update and even-more destructive, "stunning and strategic" racing environments.

At the moment Full Auto 2 is penned in for a winter 2006 arrival. We'll let you know if it turns out to be any good or not, but it's certainly nice to see it on its new platform.

Created by Bandai and developer Q Entertainment and published by Buena Vista Games, Every Extend Extra is a puzzle game that, at first glance, resembles Lumines thanks to its slick visual style. Described as an action shooting game rather than a puzzler, the gameplay is set to a music beat as you build up combos and charge blasts to burst floating obstacles and avoid being hit down as you float through metaphorical virtual worlds built around concepts of human behavior.

"More than 100" PS3 titles in development - Harrison

August 4th, 2006, 15:12 Posted By: wraggster

Over 100 games are currently in development for the PS3, according to Sony's worldwide studios president Phil Harrison - who revealed that over 10,000 development kits have now been shipped.

Speaking to British newspaper The Guardian, Harrison was upbeat about the amount of software which will be available for the PS3 around launch - both in terms of game titles, and Blu-Ray movies.

"We have shown more playable games than ever before, so the signs are good," he commented, "and right now there are more than 100 Blu-ray movies available today in the US. More than 100 games are in development, and all the major third-party publishers have pledged their strategic support for the platform."

Harrison described work on the PS3 as being "in full swing, from a developer point of view," and pointed to the firm's success in delivering hardware to its partners long before the scheduled launch.

"Developers now have final hardware in their hands, though there will be some upgrades to the operating system - there's nothing unusual about that," he explained. "The new controller is now in developers' hands, so all the pieces of the puzzle are there."

Harrison noted that one crucial step - the shipping of Blu-Ray burners to developers so that they can actually test games running off real discs - has been accomplished, with studios "now doing their first iterations of games running off discs."

While Harrison is, of course, duty-bound to present a positive picture of the PS3 situation, his assertions are backed up by comments from outspoken Epic Games boss Mark Rein, whose platform-agnostic firm is working on the biggest title for the Xbox 360 this Christmas, Gears of War.

Speaking to Eurogamer TV recently, Rein said that Sony was "in a better place vis-Ã -vis Microsoft in relation to launch", pointing out that "developers were just getting final PS3 hardware [around E3], which is a long time before ship - developers did not have finished Xbox 360 hardware last year at E3."

"I think Sony's in a good spot with the PlayStation 3," he added. "I know we're getting some great results with it back at our house, so I would expect other developers will be as well."

PlayStation 4 To Be Neutered, Rendered Disc-Less

August 4th, 2006, 15:17 Posted By: wraggster

The PlayStation 3 isn't out yet, but that doesn't stop Sony's Phil Harrison from making wild speculations about the capability of Playstation 4. According to him, the PS4 won't support physical discs. At all. He opines:

I'd be amazed if the PlayStation 4 has a physical disc drive.
So you mean in 5-10 years, our home's series of tubes/big trucks/broadband connections will be fat enough to download a 50GB game in a decent amount of time? We sure hope so.

But wait, Phil! You mean those precious Blu-ray discs that your company's humping so hard is going to be gone by the time PS4 is out? Oh wait, Kotaku's Ashcraft already beat me to that joke/conclusion. Damn you Ash! Damn you and your 16-hour head start.

PlayStation 3 - A Losing Battle for Sony?

SPOnG’s just noticed an interesting feature in today’s Technology Guardian, detailing the recent post-E3 PR turmoil surrounding Sony and its forthcoming next gen console/Super Computer, the PlayStation 3.

The piece is interesting for a number of reasons, mainly because it is perhaps the first national newspaper to offer a well-written, reasoned account of Sony’s recent (mis)fortunes.

The Guardian’s well-respected technology editor Jack Schofield poses and attempts to answer the straightforward question, on pretty much every games industry exec and developer’s mind right now: “Is Sony fighting a losing battle?�

Schofield strangely paints Sony’s showing at E3 as a successful high point, from which it’s been “...downhill from there...� This is perhaps the only point in the article SPOnG disagrees with, with it being pretty much universally agreed that, in PR-terms, Sony ‘lost’ E3, with Nintendo coming out of the show as clear winners with Wii, and Microsoft running a close second with a far more robust games line-up for its 360 over the coming Christmas holiday season.

The Guardian rounds up the various issues that have caused Sony setbacks in recent times, highlighting a number of salient points - the backlash against the Killzone demo (widely believed to be a fake); development issues with the Cell processor; the perceived value of Blu-ray to the mass market and, most clearly of all, the initial whopping great cost of the console.

Schofield offers a perceptive overview of the situation which, in his opinion is this: “Rather than dampening down the overheated online arguments about all these issues, Sony's staff have tended to feed the flames, appearing remote or even arrogant. For example, Kaz Hirai, president and chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America, recently told PlayStation Magazine: "Every time we go down a path, we look behind and [Microsoft is] right there - we just can't shake these guys. I wish that they would come up with some strategies of their own, but they seem to be going down the path of everything we do."

He continues: “It's a remark that Hirai might have got away with in an earlier age, but it was instantly dismembered online. Microsoft was first to put a hard drive in a console, and pioneered with its Xbox Live community building (or both Microsoft and Sony are following the Sega Dreamcast). Microsoft was first to do a global console launch, which Sony is emulating. Microsoft offered two versions of its Xbox 360 console - which Sony said was a bad idea - but there will be two versions of the PS3, and so on.�

EA pins Medal of Honor to PSP

August 5th, 2006, 00:15 Posted By: wraggster

News via CVG

EA has announced Medal of Honor: Heroes (working title), a new, PSP-exclusive title in its WWII first-person shooter franchise.

It's said that in Heroes we'll be experiencing a brand new MoH single-player campaign, although EA has opted to re-introduce a number of lead characters from previous games in the series.

The publisher explains: "Take on the role of Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson - star of both the original Medal of Honor, and the classic Medal of Honor Frontline - in an untold chapter of his time in Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. Play as Sergeant John Baker, from Medal of Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough, and sabotage German defenses on the Italian coastline to help the invasion forces crack Hitler's iron hold on Europe!"

Advertisement:And finally: "Don the officer's cap of Lieutenant William Holt from Medal of Honor European Assault - and return to the Ardennes Forest during the Battle of the Bulge to complete unfinished business for the OSS."

Throughout the single-player action we will, apparently be unlocking 20-plus "classic" characters that can be used in Heroes' multiplayer mode. The game features a total of six multiplayer modes and 15 multiplayer maps, supporting up to a pretty impressive 32 players in wireless shootouts. In addition, "Gamers can play with up to 8 others across the room in a local impromptu game" and "'Quickplay' missions in skirmish game mode, allow players to jump right into the action or to create customized mission scenarios for added re-playability."

Don't Count Sony Out Yet

August 5th, 2006, 00:20 Posted By: wraggster

Eurogamer is hosting a GamesIndustry.biz article, an editorial that wants readers to make sure not to write Sony off yet. From the article:
"Even if Sony is failing to endear itself to the media, to analysts or to gamers at the moment, that's no reason for the reality of the next generation console battle to be ignored. Judging from reports in the past fortnight, it would be easy for an outside observer to assume that it's all over already; the media paints a picture of Microsoft being victorious before the first shot is even fired, with Sony's overloaded battlecruiser set to sink before it even leaves port."

Sony confirms PS3 can use old game saves

August 5th, 2006, 00:22 Posted By: wraggster

Microsoft has run into a pair of notable complaints with its Xbox 360 backward compatibility. First off, not all original Xbox games work on the next-gen system. And the ones that do typically need to be replayed from the beginning by the gamer, as there's no port on the 360 for the old system's memory cards.

With its upcoming PlayStation 3, Sony is promising to address those problems. It is aiming at making virtually every original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 game backward compatible on the PS3 from the get-go, and according to a FAQ on the official PS3 Web site, it has the memory card issue hammered out as well.

"To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk," the site reads. "This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your PlayStation 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card."

However, the FAQ doesn't mention if Sony will be releasing such an adapter itself. Currently it's possible to move original Xbox game saves to an Xbox 360 with the aid of third-party peripherals.

Hot Pxl perfect

August 5th, 2006, 00:27 Posted By: wraggster

We've managed to get hold of some brand new shots of Atari's hip Wario Ware wannabe, Hot Pxl, which squishes over 200 bite-sized tests of skill and reflexes in to one PSP game.

The game has a central character called Dion who is a skater and therefore 'cool'. Gamers must guide him through a colourful pixelated world of micro challenges that draw inspiration from digital and street culture as well as Atari's own videogame heritage.

The game has a unique style that's described as 'hip urban' and 'street culture' which can seen from the menus screens all the way in to the gameplay. The game will be have multiplayer mode which will make use of the PSP's wireless connectivity.

Bully to launch "later this year"

August 5th, 2006, 00:28 Posted By: wraggster

Bully, Rockstar's controversial schoolyard brawler, is still very much in development and heading for a launch "later this year", according to a Rockstar spokesman, who also stated that the game "will be released on PS2 only".

Rockstar's Vancover studio has been busy completing the game, which casts you as a brawny schoolboy at school-of-hard-knocks-to-the-head, Bullworth Academy. When we asked if Bully has undergone any changes in response to the controversy, in which the game was condemned by anti-bulling campaigners, Rockstar told us "you're going to have to wait and see".

Many gamers expected Rockstar to axe Bully's school-set mischief, after igniting a storm of backlash. Responses to Bully's appearance 12 months ago included youth group Peaceaholics staging a protest outside of Rockstar's headquarters, as well as infamous US shock-lawyer Jack Thompson branding it a "Columbine simulator". British M.P. Keith Vaz is also attempting to ban the game in the UK.

Rockstar has invited campaigners to see the game for themselves, and told BBC online last year that Bully "should be judged in the same way as any other work of fiction," adding that "people should not judge what is work in progress". Our Rockstar spokesman was unable to confirm when we'll get to see Bully again, but don't worry, we're already busy hunting down new info for your eyes.

Rumor: Sony: Sell More PSPs to Get PS3s

August 5th, 2006, 16:58 Posted By: wraggster

A retail tipster sends word on how Sony's stock of Playstation 3s will likely be sent out to retails in North America. According to the insider, Sony Computer Entertainment of America has announced that PS3 allocations to all retailers will be based on new sales of their existing platforms.

"SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment of America) has announced that Sony PlayStation 3 allocations to all retailers will be based on NEW sales of their existing platforms (PlayStation 2 and PlayStation
Portable)."

"Hardware allocation will NOT be based on existing pre-orders (or "deposits")."

In other words, stores that sell the most PS2s and PSPs in the coming months get the most PS3s. Hmmm, odd. Of course, take this with a grain of salt and all of that lovely stuff.

Blu-ray versus HD DVD: First Head-to-Head Comparisons

August 6th, 2006, 10:31 Posted By: wraggster

With the release today of 'Training Day,' 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and 'Rumor Has It...' on Blu-ray, Warner Home Video has become the the first studio to unleash the same movie titles on both formats, following their debut on HD DVD last month.

Finally, after months of apples-to-oranges comparisons between the two formats via different discs from differing studios, a direct head-to-head analysis can now be made using identical source material. As the first Warner Blu-ray titles hit stores, we at High Def Digest are proud to roll out the web's first in-depth comparisons of all three discs.

In each review, we take a comprehensive look at how each disc on both formats stacks up, in terms of video and audio quality, depth of supplemental content, and overall ease of use and menu navigation. In some cases, the results were surprising, and sure to generate continued debate.

PS3 needs adapter for PS2 memory cards?

August 6th, 2006, 21:58 Posted By: wraggster

Give the PlayStation 3 your PlayStation or PlayStation 2 games, your original gray PSX controller, or the first dual shock from back in the late '90s. But keep memory card to your damn self. Well, not really, but it does look like Sony will require an adapter on the PlayStation 3 to be able to read memory cards from previous PlayStation consoles, as specified by their site. Not, not really a big deal at all unless they act all, um, Sony on us and don't bundle the adapter with the console. But we'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt though, as we wouldn't want to unduly accuse them of preparing to gouge consumers on a yet-to-be-released console, right? Right, Sony? Ok, good, glad we've come to an understanding with one another.

The Sticky Right Shoulder Button Problem

August 6th, 2006, 23:50 Posted By: wraggster



Im sure you have all heard about the DS Lite Case Cracking problems but im here to talk about the problem with the sticky right shoulder button on the PSP.

Ive had my 2 PSPs for near on 18 months now (might be longer) but they dont get much usage as im always doing webwork or playing on other consoles.

But when i do play with them the Right Shoulder button is becoming a real pain with sticking, so much that on some games it renders the game unplayable, i did some ivestigation and found the same button on my homebrew PSP did the same and infact it was worse.

Is this just a problem for me or is the stickyness of the Right Shoulder button a serious problem.

Medal of Honor PSP trailer deployed

August 7th, 2006, 16:23 Posted By: wraggster

EA has released the first gameplay trailer showing off Medal of Honor: Heroes, its new exclusive PSP entry in the veteran WWII shooter series.

A brand new single-player campaign is promised for the PSP edition, although you'll apparently be replaying several lead characters from previous games in the series, such as Lieutenant William Holt from European Assault and Sergeant John Baker of Allied Assault Breakthrough fame. In addition, six different multiplayer modes are promised, with 20-plus "classic" playable characters on the roster, and 15 multiplayer maps supporting up to an impressive 32 players in wireless bouts.

We've no-doubt you've already spotted the screenshots we stuck up last week, so have a peek at this new trailer and let us know what you think in the comments section below. Medal of Honor: Heroes should be hitting the beaches before the end of the year.

PS2 save games will work on PS3

August 7th, 2006, 16:29 Posted By: wraggster

Worried about the ability - or non-ability - to transfer PS2 save games to PS3, destroying the appeal of backwards compatibility action on Sony's new beast? Well, fear not - well, not too much - as the Japanese giant has confirmed in an official FAQ that punters will be able to stick old PS2 game saves (and, it appears, PSone game saves too) onto the next-gen console.

However, in its spillage of this slice of information in the FAQ, which is on Playstation.com, the company has stated that extra hardware will be required to move PS2 game saves to PS3 - due to the old memory cards not being physically compatible with the new machine.

In answer to the question, 'How do I save my PlayStation 2 Memory Card information to PlayStation 3?', Sony says: "To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk. This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your PLAYSTATION 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card."

Quite how we'll get our hands on this PS2/PSone memory card adaptor is - as there's no further official word on the product - currently a matter of debate. It may be offered out-of-the-box with PS3, or - and the cynic within reckons this more likely - it'll be offered as an optional purchase. We'll just have to wait and see.

Rumour Mill Time - New PSone Emulator for PSP Announced

August 7th, 2006, 20:16 Posted By: wraggster

Recently we have had 2 very bogus emulator announcements, the port of Ultrahle the Nintendo 64 emulator to the PSP and the next day a PSOne emulator for the PSP, both turned out to be bogus and there was a theory that both news were just done for hits and may have been started by those particular sites (ive no proof but it certainly looked dodgy)

Anyway today a French team have posted that they are to release a PSone emulator before the end of the summer

Heres the translated news article:

2.6 UMD Emulation ?

August 7th, 2006, 20:23 Posted By: wraggster

Ookm has posted on his site that he has got UMD Emulation working on a firmware 2.6 console, he doesnt go into any more specifics on that, but theres some discussion about this being an ISO Loader and if thats true its another Hammerblow to the Homebrew scene and yet another reason for Sony to carry on with their recent actions against the PSP SoftwareWiki but this time go for fresh targets.

Its sad that the Excellent Homebrew Scene is being dragged into warez territory and even sadder that sites are trying to legitimize it.

One thing to note is that when Sony give you a Cease and Decist Order its too late for regret.

PS3's Smart Back-Compat, PS4 Doesn't Play Discs

August 7th, 2006, 20:45 Posted By: wraggster

Via Slashdot

Good news for Sony fans looking forward to the PS3. Eurogamer reports that the system will feature backwards compatibility with memory cards as well as games. From the article:
"An update to Sony's PlayStation 3 website has revealed that you will be able to use older PlayStation memory cards with PlayStation 3 - providing you buy an adapter. An entry in the official PS3 FAQ states: 'To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk.'"
Microsoft could have really used something like that for the Xbox/360 switchover. Relatedly, Sony is looking ahead ... way ahead, even to their next console. Wired has a piece looking at the future of downloads in the games industry. From that article:
"Microsoft is releasing an HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360. Both companies are even touting the ability of these new discs to play movies in even higher hi-def. That struggle, however, is ultimately meaningless. 'I'd be amazed if the PlayStation 4 has a physical disc drive,' [Sony's Phil] Harrison says."

FIFA 07 goes clubbin'

August 7th, 2006, 20:47 Posted By: wraggster

Via Gamespot

This year's World Cup helped Electronic Arts move tons of units of both FIFA Soccer 06 and 2006 FIFA World Cup, but the world's biggest sporting event and its millions of fans must move on. EA is moving on too, as it has officially announced FIFA Soccer 07.
Now that international pride has been settled for the next four years, FIFA 07 is concentrating once again on the club circuit. The game will feature the licenses of dozens of leagues, and introduces the new EA Sports Interactive Leagues which allow fans to square off in online leagues based on real-world schedules.

The PSP version also boasts improved connectivity with the PS2 version, enabling gamers to transfer data between the two platforms, and play a single franchise mode at home or on the move. DS owners will be able to create their own custom chants using the console's microphone, and more precise off-the-ball running routes can be ordered with the "Touch Run" feature.
