After Progskeet and PNM, Judges, members of a forum Psx-scene, comes an adaptation for teensy + +. Quote:
Here is my initial version of a flash for the PS3 called "Norway." I know there are other projects, but I'm impatient, so I decided to create my own solution. It is a port of "noralizer" Hector Martin (marcan), a very good job done to flash the PS3, based on another FPGA (programmable logic circuit).
To use this installation, you must retrieve the archive that contains the elements necessary to flash your NOR: \ teensy \ NORway.avrsln - Source code for the Teensy + + 2.0 (AVR Studio 5.0) \ teensy \ default \ NORway.hex - compiled hex file for Teensy + + 2.0 (AT90USB1286) \ serial_install.exe - Drivers for Windows Teensy \ NORway.py - Python Client You must also have: - Python 2.7.2 - pyserial 2.5 (win32) Use: 1) Install Python and pyserial. 2) Install the drivers. Connect the Teensy. 3) Flash with the "NORway.hex" and restart when finished. 4) Go to Device Manager, expand the line (COM & LPT) you should see something like "USB Serial (Communication Class , Abstract Control Model) (COM4) " Remember the port number. dump procedure: - PS3 off - At the command prompt, type: NORway.py
- Turn on your PS3, it should not start
- At the command prompt, type:
NORway.pyflash.bin dump
- When the dumping is finished enter:
NORway.pyrelease
- Turn off your PS3 (Teensy disconnect it from the PS3 it does not start on reboot) Author's note: Before you flash anything, always check your backup dumps, compare for example CORE_OS_PACKAGE.bin dump your version of PS3update effect on your console. Tested on seven X86, should work under XP. Does not work in 64X, pyserial problem with. Should work with Linux. A tutorial for the downgrade will be released soon. Homepage: PSX-Scene deaphroat Thanks for the information .

Sony is making Vita dev kits freely available to indie studios, VG247 reports.
Posting on the NeoGaf forum under the name "Rubicon", a representative from Great Little War Game developer Icon Games championed Sony's "good attitude towards Indies."
"We showed them our game, they liked it loads and thought it a good fit for their machine, so they sent us four kits. Gratis. Just like that," the post read.
In a later post, Rubicon praised the Vita as "everything you'd like it to be" and predicted that Sony's app store would, "start filling up in the same way the iOS one has. Nintendo can learn a lot from [Sony's] attitude."
Rumours have also surfaced that the Vita's central processing unit is being manufactured by Samsung.
According to a report on Andriasang, the website of Japanese trade paper The Semiconductor Industry News revealed that the CPU would be 45 nanometer. Similar chips are used in the latest iterations of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 due their reduced power consumption.

Blockbuster may have had its share of trouble here in the States, but that doesn't mean its British brother isn't doing well enough to have (and leak) a big-shot release date or two. According to a flyer brandishing the Blockbuster logo and that good 'ol co.uk extension, the PlayStation Vita will land in the United Kingdom on October 28th. That's ominously close to Halloween -- not that we're suggesting anybody is having pre-holiday PSV boot-shakes, or anything -- and the flyer's fall release prediction squares up nicely with Sony's "end of 2011" launch window. As always, we suggest taking rumors and leaks such as this with a grain of salt -- but considering Sony's sinkable record regarding loose lips, we'd understand a low sodium approach. Hit the break to get a peek at the Blockbuster UK flyer -- ready and waiting for your judgement.

Eight Days, a PlayStation 3 exclusive cancelled in 2008, would have been "jaw-dropping", according to one developer who worked on the game.
Richard Bunn, who left Sony earlier this year to co-found Crazy Horses developer Nice Touch Games, told Eurogamer some of Eight Days' unannounced features "would have definitely impressed" had it made it out the door.
Eight Days was a third-person action game in development at Sony Computer Entertainment's London studio.
It was first shown at E3 in 2006 as one of the hot prospects on PS3 for the future. Its unveiling was handled by a suitably juicy trailer that showed plenty of driving action with exploding gas tanks in a desert-style location.
But in mid-2008 Eight Days, alongside fellow SCE London-developed PS3 exclusive The Getaway, was cancelled.
Some thought it was canned because of a lack of online multiplayer, but Bunn told Eurogamer Eight Days was misunderstood in this regard.
"It was going to have online co-op," Bunn said. "The entire concept behind the game was based around buddy gameplay. Imagine Uncharted, where you have two Nathan Drakes, and you can cover swap between each other and chuck ammo between each other. That was pretty much the game.
"We fully intended to have online co-op support. No multiplayer, but online co-op. We definitely didn't have any plans to do multiplayer modes."
Bunn worked on Eight Days for four months, but Nice Touch Games co-founder David Green built the tools that powered it and the AI that ran it.
"The game was looking spectacular," Bunn continued. "A lot of what was shown off publicly had a bit of a mixed review. But what was going on in-house at the time was looking quite spectacular.
"I designed a new opening level for them. My goal there was to make the opening level every bit as good as something you would see in God of War. We had that fully playable in prototype form and it was jaw dropping. It was exceedingly good. All of the other level designers on the team were doing great work.
"It's just what had been shown publicly was a bit hit and miss. And then the amount of work that needed to go into finishing the game was phenomenal. But it had some great features in there."
Bunn went into some detail on Eight Days' gameplay – destined never to make it to gold master.
"It had directed moments, which were big cinematic scenes similar to God of War," he said. "It had driving sections. It had duck and cover style gameplay. It was pretty spectacular. Some of the stuff that was never shown publicly would definitely have impressed if it had ever made it out into the public."
When Sony ceased production of Eight Days and The Getaway, it said it took the decision because "it was deemed that with the incredibly strong list of exclusive first party titles coming up both this year and in the near future, resource should be reallocated to enhance those projects closer to completion".
"It had been in pre-production for a long time and had soaked up a lot of money," Bunn said. "You have to think back as well, this was when the PS3 was in its infancy and was considered overpriced and it wasn't doing as well as Sony had hoped.
"Eight Days had already cost a fair amount of money. They'd done their maths and said, 'it's going to cost this much to finish the project,' which I'd rather not disclose. It was quite a bit. It was about another year's worth of development, so you can probably work out roughly for a big game how much that might have come to. And then they basically said, projecting forward what the PS3 user base is going to be a year from now, you're going to have to be way above the trend on user tie-in to make a profit.
"At the time tie-in for a very good game was about ten per cent of the user base. They said we needed to be two or three times above that to be able to make a profit. It's not the sort of thing that ever happens.
"And plus, Uncharted had just come out. So, they already had a third-person action game in the stable. At that point they decided they were going to re-purpose the Sony Soho studio as being an EyeToy, motion gaming studio and move away from doing games like The Getaway and Eight Days, at that location.
"It was a crying shame for a lot of people," Bunn recalled. "There were a lot of people who had worked on it a lot longer than I had. So it wasn't a huge blow for me personally. Some people had put several years into it. It was really sad to see those guys have lots of work go."
It seems Eight Days was farther along the development line than The Getaway, which at one point was headed up by L.A. Noire chief Brendan McNamara. "They were just building a tech demo," Bunn revealed.
He also noted that both cancellations occurred shortly after Phil Harrison was replaced as Sony Worldwide Studios boss by Shuhei Yoshida.
"He [Harrison] left and Shuhei Yoshida came on board as head of worldwide development," Bunn said.
"He did the rounds basically doing a big shake-up. He saw where the successes had been at the London studio and where the big failures had been and decided we should be the casual, social studio. So games like Singstar and EyePet. Actually there's quite a lot in development at that studio along those lines that could turn out to be very nice."
When Eight Days was cancelled, the development team was told by Sony management that it was simply "on hold". But the game appears dead.
"It was a bit of a sore point for a while," Bunn said. "If there was any talk of resurrecting it or reusing any of the technology from it, it was just like, we're all a bit sad about it, let's not do anything with Eight Days for the time being."
Will it ever release?
"I don't know the current status of it. It would be lovely to see that game resurrected in one form or another because it had a lot of potential."

Sony has announced plans to start releasing US and Japanese PSone emulations in Europe via the PlayStation Store.
While the firm hasn't confirmed any specific titles or release dates yet, Ross McGrath of the PlayStation Store team said a few are "already in process".
Here's a handy guide explaining what it all means for you guys:
Publishers who own the rights to release PSone titles that were previously only available in the US and/or Japan will now be able to apply to have them released on the SCEE PlayStation Stores (providing they are rated by the appropriate ratings boards for each territory).
All titles will be published 'as is', with either English or Japanese language game content where available.
All titles will run at 60 Hz and you will need a 60 Hz capable display to play them properly.
This also means that if a PAL version of a title has been unable to pass QA in SCEE, but the NTSC version is already available on the PlayStation Store in SCEA or SCEJ, we can look at publishing that version instead. We cannot simply take the US version and publish it immediately, as it has to be reprocessed for SCEE, but at least we know the title should already be relatively bug-free.
Sony added: "With this news in mind, we'd love to hear from you what titles you'd like to see available in Europe for the first time - make yourself heard in the comments and with the most requested titles we will speak to publishers on your behalf."

Tokyo Game Show, the next major industry clambake following Gamescom in Germany later this month, has announced some of its tent-pole talks.
As detailed on Andriasang, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada will take to the stage at Tokyo's Makuhari Messe on 15th September to discuss "The Essence of Game Industry Revolution" in this year's keynote address.
Wada will then be immediately followed by Sony double act Shuhei Yoshida and Yoshio Matsumoto with their ambiguously titled "All About PlayStation Vita" presentation.
No word from any other publishers yet on what their plans are for the show.
Last year's event saw some fairly significant announcements, including debuts for Capcom's DmC and Asura's Wrath, Yakuza: Of the End from Sega, and a fistful of M.I.A core-orientated Kinect titles from Microsoft.

From a group of people from different translation teams, we can now announce that The 3rd Birthday’s Spanish translation has been released. This is the third installment of the Parasite Eve franchise, even if it doesn’t share the main name, where we’ll control again FBI agent Aya Brea on her pursuit of her lost memories.
This patch translates 99% of the texts and 100% of the graphics ingame. There’s some minor graphic bugs, but they won’t stop anyone from beating the game the 20 times needed for that steamy shower scene

The Lavalit guys have released a new version of their Beatem Up for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wiz, Wii, GP2x and Dingoo:
penBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.
Available Platforms
----------------------
OpenBOR has a very modular and portable design inherited from Beats of Rage. Ports
to the following platforms are currently supported:
* Windows
* Linux
* Mac OS X
* Wii
* PSP
* Dreamcast
* GP2X
* GP2X Wiz
* Dingoo a320
In addition to the above, the original Beats of Rage engine (downloadable from
the Senile Team website) is available for the following platforms:
* DOS
* Playstation 2
* Xbox
* GP32
* Palmtop

DaedalusX64 is the best Nintendo 64 Emulator available exclusively for the PSP. To eliminate some frequently asked questions: No, the Emulator is not perfect, so any graphical bugs, or speed issues are considered normal. Yes, the audio does not always play full speed and can cause the Emulator to crash. The latest compiled rev of DaedalusX64 can be found below
What's changed in this revision:
Revision 722
[=>] Merged from Dev branch:
Rev 325 - Salvy
[!] Simplified Audio_Ucode
[~] Make sure to reset isMKABI and isZeldaABI
Rev 326 - Salvy
[+] Added blendmode for Zora's Domain water
Rev 327 - Salvy
[+] Added mem*0 + mem*1 blender (Fixes menu in Wave Racer. In fact we shouldn't need to render it, but is cheaper to handle it.)
[-] Removed wave racer blendmode and hack for menu (no longer needed)
[!] Force disable simulate doubles for Gex64 (fixes Gex64)
Rev 328 - Corn
[!] Clean up SetNewVertexInfo() for Conker
[!] Change order for PIF processing in DMA
Rev 329 - Corn
[!] Optimized order for ENV mapping in Conkers SetNewVertexInfo()
Rev 330 - Salvy
[!] Full extend DADDU (Fixes cut scene in final stage in Conker) (Note : This is the proper way, not sure why ExciteBike needs the operand to be 32bit.. I'll investigate eventually)
[!] Fixed DSUBU (Fixes crash in final stage in Conker, also random lock ups in Animal Crossing, and random lock up when entering pause menu in Majora's Mask)
PS : Final stage in Conker should be playable now \o/
Note: There's a big design flaw in our SPECIAL opcodes (and probably other opcodes), since rt and rs order is wrong! This doesn't matter for mults and adds, but is a break deal for subs and divs, I'll correct this soon.
The signed version works without any CFW!

Unfortunately, for the last couple of months I didn’t have much time to work on pcsx2/mac and that’s why the release is getting delayed. So current timeline is it’s done when it’s done.
I’ve fixed one of the issues though and releasing the new PAD plugin which will be used for 0.9.7, should offer better compatibility as that’s the official linux PAD plugin now.

You could use PlayStation Vita as a controller for PS3 games, Sony has revealed.
This Wii U-like capability was explained by Sony Europe R&D manager Phil Rogers at the Develop Conference 2011.
"What could you do with all of this?" Rogers asked a room of developers and Eurogamer. "Here's a few boring technical ideas: you could drive a display from a PS3 game, for example.
"PS3 can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it. You could use the unique features [of Vita] - gyroscope, touch front and back - as a control device for a PS3 game.
"You can run software on both devices and use the network to sync the game states. And that's pretty good, because you then have the processing power of PS3 doing that work, Vita [doing] fancy graphics - however you want to do it. You're not sacrificing the PS3's CPU to be able to have a rich experience on Vita."
Rogers said this was "a fairly new idea", and encouraged developers to talk to Sony if they have any ideas for it. "Most of the time we'll be OK with it," he said.
Another thing Vita can do is cross-platform play. This was demonstrated with WipEout 2048 on Vita talking to a bespoke compatible build of WipEout HD on PS3. The two games connected via PSN and, after a lengthy wait for the Vita version to load, worked together seamlessly. The PS3 version had a visibly higher frame-rate and was the better looking of the two games, although the difference at a glance was minimal.
Rogers mentioned that pool game Hustle Kings will also support cross-platform play. He also confirmed Vita Remote Play support for platform launch, whenever that will be.
"At launch we're going to have some PSN features that work across both platforms."
Phil Rogers, manager, Sony Europe R&D
"At launch we're going to have some PSN features that work across both platforms," said Rogers. "You could access data on each side and access scoreboards, for example. We're building on that.
"Obviously we had to bring certain things on and make sure that servers work against all the features and it doesn't break the PS3 experience, because there's a lot of PS3 users.
"For launch we'll also have Remote Play, which does look good on Vita - I saw an early version of it running recently."
Remote Play allows the Vita to receive encoded video output in real-time from PS3.
One of the more ambitious and alluring PS Vita capabilities is called Continuation Play. This allows a PS3 game to be played and then taken on the move on PS Vita.
"We have a system called Title User Storage, which allows 1MB of data on our servers for games," explained Rogers. "And that can be accessed on both platforms; you can access that same data.
"You can save your game on PS3, go over to Vita, pull that data back and swap it between them, so you can play a game at home, take it on the train and continue."
"You can save your game on PS3, go over to Vita, pull that data back and ... take it on the train and continue."
Phil Rogers
Rogers said Ruin, a Diablo-like action RPG, was the only announced PS Vita game that currently uses Continuation Play. "But there's probably a few that we've seen via the support site that we can't talk about," he teased.
"The feature is there," he added. "We've told developers that you can use Title User Storage to push the game data across."
The connection between PS Vita and PS3 will be handled via Wi-Fi and through the PlayStation Network.
"The important thing to note, and people always forget this, is that the Network exists; you don't need fancy cables, you don't need to have that there," said Rogers. "You're connected over an access point; send IP to each other - it just works.
"We did support USB, but [there's] not really much more point for that - wireless is fairly decent."
Further down the line, Rogers said developers will be able to retroactively patch-in support for Vita in existing PS3 games.
He also said Sony was making a concerted effort to encourage developers to use these new ideas arriving with PlayStation Vita.
"There's a push from our third-party team for encouraging licensees to be having those features [cross-platform, continuation play] in game," he said.

You could use PlayStation Vita as a controller for PS3 games, Sony has revealed.
This Wii U-like capability was explained by Sony Europe R&D manager Phil Rogers at the Develop Conference 2011.
"What could you do with all of this?" Rogers asked a room of developers and Eurogamer. "Here's a few boring technical ideas: you could drive a display from a PS3 game, for example.
"PS3 can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it. You could use the unique features [of Vita] - gyroscope, touch front and back - as a control device for a PS3 game.
"You can run software on both devices and use the network to sync the game states. And that's pretty good, because you then have the processing power of PS3 doing that work, Vita [doing] fancy graphics - however you want to do it. You're not sacrificing the PS3's CPU to be able to have a rich experience on Vita."
Rogers said this was "a fairly new idea", and encouraged developers to talk to Sony if they have any ideas for it. "Most of the time we'll be OK with it," he said.
Another thing Vita can do is cross-platform play. This was demonstrated with WipEout 2048 on Vita talking to a bespoke compatible build of WipEout HD on PS3. The two games connected via PSN and, after a lengthy wait for the Vita version to load, worked together seamlessly. The PS3 version had a visibly higher frame-rate and was the better looking of the two games, although the difference at a glance was minimal.
Rogers mentioned that pool game Hustle Kings will also support cross-platform play. He also confirmed Vita Remote Play support for platform launch, whenever that will be.
"At launch we're going to have some PSN features that work across both platforms."
Phil Rogers, manager, Sony Europe R&D
"At launch we're going to have some PSN features that work across both platforms," said Rogers. "You could access data on each side and access scoreboards, for example. We're building on that.
"Obviously we had to bring certain things on and make sure that servers work against all the features and it doesn't break the PS3 experience, because there's a lot of PS3 users.
"For launch we'll also have Remote Play, which does look good on Vita - I saw an early version of it running recently."
Remote Play allows the Vita to receive encoded video output in real-time from PS3.
One of the more ambitious and alluring PS Vita capabilities is called Continuation Play. This allows a PS3 game to be played and then taken on the move on PS Vita.
"We have a system called Title User Storage, which allows 1MB of data on our servers for games," explained Rogers. "And that can be accessed on both platforms; you can access that same data.
"You can save your game on PS3, go over to Vita, pull that data back and swap it between them, so you can play a game at home, take it on the train and continue."
"You can save your game on PS3, go over to Vita, pull that data back and ... take it on the train and continue."
Phil Rogers
Rogers said Ruin, a Diablo-like action RPG, was the only announced PS Vita game that currently uses Continuation Play. "But there's probably a few that we've seen via the support site that we can't talk about," he teased.
"The feature is there," he added. "We've told developers that you can use Title User Storage to push the game data across."
The connection between PS Vita and PS3 will be handled via Wi-Fi and through the PlayStation Network.
"The important thing to note, and people always forget this, is that the Network exists; you don't need fancy cables, you don't need to have that there," said Rogers. "You're connected over an access point; send IP to each other - it just works.
"We did support USB, but [there's] not really much more point for that - wireless is fairly decent."
Further down the line, Rogers said developers will be able to retroactively patch-in support for Vita in existing PS3 games.
He also said Sony was making a concerted effort to encourage developers to use these new ideas arriving with PlayStation Vita.
"There's a push from our third-party team for encouraging licensees to be having those features [cross-platform, continuation play] in game," he said.

During the Develop conference (via Eurogamer), Sony Europe R&D manager Phil Rogers outlined some possible interactions between the PlayStation Vita and the PS3. The systems are already known to share saves across compatible games, and share some interoperable games like Wipeout 2048, but Rogers discussed some other capabilities, including some not yet seen in Vita/PS3 interaction.
"PS3 can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it," he said. "You could use the unique features [of Vita] - gyroscope, touch front and back - as a control device for a PS3 game." In what could be a veiled dig at the Wii U, he also said that because you can have games running on both systems, each using its own processor, "You're not sacrificing the PS3's CPU to be able to have a rich experience on Vita."
At launch, the Vita will have some cross-platform features, including scoreboards and PSN user data. "For launch we'll also have Remote Play, which does look good on Vita - I saw an early version of it running recently." Remote Play, also available on the PSP right now, allows video of compatible titles to be streamed from the PS3 for play on the PSP. Continuation Play, through which a game can be saved on one platform and played on the other, will also be available early on. The first known game to use that is Ruin.

One of the most popular homebrew productions is certainly CSPSP, excellent PSP port of Counter Strike which also allows online multiplayer challenges thanks to the dedicated server. The fan community is always active, and thanks to this interest comes a fun mod.
Who has long been beloved videludico with the world knows the history of Counter Strike . Born as the first successful amateur mod Half-Life for PC (Valve), has been so successful that it became an official title for all purposes with various reissues. The basics are simple: cops and robbers . Two groups of players fit the shoes of terrorists and anti-terrorists. Missions range from hostage rescue, bomb-defusing up to the classic Team Deathmatch. CSPSP for those who do not know, is a 2D port on PSP of the title mentioned that immediately entered into the hearts (and the PSP ) of a large number of users.
Today the developer Omnitrix releases a mod based on the latest CSPSP (the v1.8.2) that completely transforms the way allowing you to set aside the bloody urban battles for the most colorful and innocuous challenges PaintBall. Particularly appreciated the chance to play with the mod in both single and online.
For the occasion, recreating the version 1.8.2 of its CSPSP with serever v1.41

via http://www.psp-ita.com/4516-400-Hanging_v1.2.html
Interesting and funny amateur video game production that all Italian proposes to carry on the PSP one of the most classic games that have accompanied our youth and beyond. The Italian developer Rinnegatamante releases v1.2 of Hanging, homebrew of the famous hangman game.
Who has not ever played the hangman game in school during the absence of a professor raise your hand. Well, for the few who have shown their hand, the game is simple: you have to guess the hidden word. A group of lines corresponds to the number of letters composing the word. At each turn you choose a letter that if present in the word will be placed in the corresponding position, otherwise it will be a drawing of a part of the body of the victim hanged. The game ends when the word is guessed or if the hangman is completed figure, ruling in this case the defeat of the player.
In Hanging is repeated all this in single player, the homebrew will choose a word for us that we should second guess the rules already mentioned. The v1.2 is made compatible with Lua Player Plus , the homebrew becomes lighter and has added the ability to pesonalizzare the database of words through the game. This is very convenient to challenge friends.
Once again thank the developer PSP-ITA Rinnegatamante , valued member of our forums.
Following changelog and download. [Additional Info: Changelog and download]

Could be very interesting for Homebrew devs out there:
id Software will release the source code for Doom 3 later this year.
Speaking at Quakecon 2011, id's technical director John Carmack revealed that parent company Zenimax was supportive of the move. He also challenged other developers to release their own source code, arguing that it helps the community.
The source code will be available after the launch of Rage, which hits shelves in October.
id's engine Id Tech Five will also go open source, but not until it's no longer used for official projects. Carmack speculated that this could be as long as ten years away.
Carmack refused to talk about id's next big project, Doom 4, but did reveal that there were already plans for Rage 2. He also described a browser-version of classic title Wolfenstein as “off the table.”
Quakecon is an annual gaming event held in Dallas, Texas, and and curated by id Software. The event will run until August 7.

August 5th, 2011, 11:00 Posted By: wraggster
Sony's PSP successor, PlayStation Vita, will only be released in Japan in 2011, with US and European customers forced to wait until early 2012.
Executive vice president Kaz Hirai revealed the news at a press conference at Sony's Tokyo headquarters, according to AP. He declined to give specific release dates - more news is expected at Cologne's Gamescom next week, and the Tokyo Game Show in September - and also denied that the price would be cut in response to Nintendo's decision to slash the price of the 3DS.
Prior to Nintendo's announcement, the entry-level Vita model, which supports WiFi but not 3G, was set to launch in the US at $249.99, the same price as the 3DS. With Nintendo cutting that price by a third, to $169.99, from next week, many wondered whether Sony would follow suit.
"We packed so much into the device and made it very affordable," Hirai said. "There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the videogame business decided that they were going to lower [their] price."
While Hirai's confirmation that the Vita will not be seen in the US and Europe until next year is disappointing, it is not exactly surprising. While Sony said at E3 that Vita would be released this year, it has been managing expectations ever since the device was first unveiled in January with a vague release date of "holiday 2011".
SCEA president Jack Tretton said in January that the company's choice of words was "ambiguous for a reason…It's very difficult to have the quantities to be able to launch on a worldwide basis on the same date." In April, he said the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami was "maybe the straw that says maybe we only get to just one market by the end of the year."
As such Hirai was correct in his claim that this does not constitute a delay for the device; instead, he said it was to ensure a strong launch line-up in all territories. The failure to release worldwide before the end of the year, however, gives Nintendo's 3DS a clear run at Christmas.
With Sony's new handheld missing out on the most lucrative sales period of the year, and Nintendo set to release 3DS versions of Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Kart before the year is out, Vita's delay has at one made Nintendo's job a little easier and Sony's a little harder. The firm will doubtless hope that the sluggish 3DS sales were solely a reflection of its launch price, rather than symptomatic of a general decline in interest in gaming handhelds following the rapid rise of smartphones.

How can this be? Sony's new handheld console already passed through the FCC and was even leaked on a UK Blockbuster flyer that stated an October release date. Yet apparently these clues count for nothing, because Bloomberg reports Kazuo Hirai as saying that the Vita won't launch in the US and Europe until early next year -- with only Japan getting the device before Christmas. Why would Sony be content to miss out on all that festive trade? We have absolutely no idea, but it looks like we'll have to email Santa a revised wish list.

South African newspaper Beeld reports that the first person known to be arrested for jailbreaking the Playstation 3 was arrested in Parktown, Johannesburg today. This raid was conducted by the South African Police Service's Commercial Crime Unit, after receiving criminal complaints from the South African Federation Against Copyright Theft (SAFACT). Members of the police were assisted by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) Computer Forensics Lab. The police confiscated goods of around R100 000 (14000 USD)."

Planning to enjoy a little Killzone 3 multiplayer over breakfast tomorrow morning? Tough. All online play for SCEE-published games will be unavailable between 5.30am and 10.30am due to PSN "network maintenance".
"Please note for the duration of this period SCEE titles only will not be available online, and there may be additional downtime after for testing purposes," added a statement from Sony.
"This will not affect your ability to sign in to the PlayStation Network, and you will still be able to play other titles online."
Unsure which games fall under SCEE's jurisdiction?Here's a list.
There was no mention of what the purpose of the maintenance is.

"Hackers' favorite recent target, Sony, has won an award at the Black Hat conference held in Las Vegas this week. However, much to the embarrassment of the company, the award it nailed was in the category of 'Epic Fail' of the year. The Pwnie awards, which are like Oscar equivalents in the hacker community, gave this 'honor' to Sony following the series of cyberattacks it was subjected to a few months back, which saw the company's PlayStation and PC gaming networks go down, as well as many other services suffering heavily."

SCEE's senior development manager Simon Benson has toldGamesIndustry.biz that the cost of implementing 3D into home console games is so low as to become negligible.
"In some cases we've had titles where 3D has been half a per cent of overhead," he said.
"It can literally be the render programmer spending a couple of weeks manipulating it. Particularly if a game already has split screen in it, just take that mode of the game and reauthor it to deliver really high quality 3D. So often it's the case of it doesn't even hit the radar of whether we should or shouldn't, it can just be done."
He believed people often mistakenly assume that the costs faced by film and television productions also apply to games.
"It's not of the same magnitude as it is with say, movies or live productions, and having to make that decision. It really comes down to do with if the game teams that are making these titles think that the experience they're putting together is compelling enough and the title lends itself enough to this technology to add that feature in."
Simon Benson has been working with 3D at SCEE for two years, supporting internal and external studios. The full interview can be read here.

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here -- or at least its pre-order page is. Sony's hotly anticipated PlayStation Vita has been on our minds since January, and now it's making its CanadianNorth American pre-order debut via Best Buy Canada. The product pages for both the WiFi-only and 3G editions list a release date of March 30th -- which lines up with previous reports that the console won't be gracing your stocking this Christmas -- but we'd take that estimate with a heaping fistful of salt. If you're itching to throw down some Canadian dollars, however, feel free to hop on over to the source to secure yours now.

Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play has seen a dramatic price drop at UK retailers, with some online outlets offering the gaming smartphone at almost half it regular price.
 Expansys has made the biggest reduction, bringing the PlayStation phone down in price from the standard £500 to £289. MeanwhilePlay is offering the device at £299.
The price cuts on the Sony Ericsson phone follow a dramatic reduction announcement for the 3DS last week, which is set to have its RRPslashed by a third later this month.
Sony chairman Kazuo Hirai signalled yesterday that Sony won't engage in a price war with the 3DS, and the company's rival handheld PlayStation Vita looks set to launch at £229 (with 3G models going for £279).
Hirai's comments have led to claims from Japan-based analysts that the platform holder risks"major failure".http://www.computerandvideogames.com/314417/retailers-knock-almost-50-off-xperia-play-price/

Sony Computer Entertainment is under "major pressure" to reduce the launch price of PlayStation Vita following a cost reduction announcement from Nintendo.
 That's according to Tokyo-based Ace Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda, who told Bloomberg the PlayStation firm risks "major failure" if it doesn't price its upcoming handheld - which is due out in Japan this year and in US and Europe in 2012 - competitively.
"Gamers are increasingly anticipating Sony to lower prices, especially after the 3DS cut," Yasuda told Bloomberg. "Sony is under major pressure to cut the price of the Vita or risk a major failure."
When it does launch in the UK, Vita will set you back £229 for the Wi-Fi model and £279 for the 3G version.
Sony chairman Kazuo Hirai signalled yesterday that the company won't engage in a price war with the Nintendo 3DS, which is set to have its RRP slashed by a third later this month.
But not all Japanese analysts believe Sony should react to Nintendo's dramatic action. Nomura Holdings man Shiro Mikoshiba believes a higher price point for Vita fits with its target audience.
"The customers Sony is targeting with its Vita are those willing to spend a lot of money," he said. "That's a valid strategy even if the volume's low as long as it can sustain the higher price."

In an effort to prove that Sony ain't the boss o' them, Gamestop will be bundlingResistance 3 with each pre-order for the now-MotorStorm-infused PlayStation-branded 3DTV, launching this November. It's also possible that Gamestop is simply honoring its existing pre-orders while sweetening the pot to attract new buyers, but where's the fun in that?
As weird as pre-ordering a television set is, having two 3D-capable games certainly adds a little extra something to deal, and when you're spending $500 on anything it's important to get your money's worth. It will be interesting to see if other retailers follow suit, but considering the fact that this is a 24-inch 3DTV, we doubt potential buyers will have room for anything larger than another disc.http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/06/gamestop-bundling-resistance-3-with-playstation-3dtv-anyway-if/

If you live in a dorm room, or an efficiency in Manhattan, or a tiny Harry Potterstaircase closet, you were probably chuffed to bits when Sony announced their 24-inch PlayStation-branded 3DTV/Resistance 3 bundle during this year's E3. Now though, it looks like denizens of diminished domiciles will be doing a lot more wicked jumps, and lot less alien shooting.
Responding to inquiries regarding this Amazon listing, which shows Sony's PlayStation 3DTV bundled with MotorStorm: Apocalypse instead of Resistance 3, Insomniac Games confirmed the switch in a tweet, apologizing for any inconvenience. According to a statement made to Gamespot, MotorStorm: Apcalypse will also support the full-screen-but-also-split-screen functionality touted by Resistance 3, however no information about why the games were switched has been given as of yet.http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/06/sony-replaces-resistance-3-with-motorstorm-apocalypse-in-3dtv-b/

Independent developer Icon Games has claimed that the PlayStation Vita marks a turnaround in Sony's relationship with the indie community.
A detailed post on the company's blog recounts an experience in 2005, in which Icon struck a deal worth $450,000 with a small US publisher to publish two of its games, Vertigo and Pool Hall Pro.
"The games were complete, already released in PAL territories and ready to go into SCEA QA," wrote director Richard Hill-Whittall.
The feedback was scathing; essentially Sony asked us to completely re-design the game and gameplay
Richard Hall-Whittall, Icon Games
"Sony refused concept approval, and the deal was dead – no negotiation – finished. Overnight we lost $450,000, which for a small studio would have drastically improved our position and helped us to invest more money into future development."
Since the introduction of PSP Minis, however, working with Sony has been a much more "positive experience". Icon Games has now developed five Minis, including two for the Vita - Build'n Race Extreme and Pub Games.
The Hill-Whittall complained that the initial stages of the approval process for the Vita offered evidence that Sony still doesn't understand how carefully indie developers need to manage resources.
"The feedback was scathing; essentially Sony asked us to completely re-design the game and gameplay, particularly in the case of Build'n Race Extreme."
"While some of the ideas were good these were ideas for another game; someone else's game – not the game we have been working on the past few months. It is also completely impractical given my budget."
"What if we re-design and they still are not happy or feel we haven't gone in the direction they want – what do we do then?"
But within two days SCEE agreed to a meeting, offering advice and support on how to finish each game to the right standard. He also claimed that Sony is open to games "of various different sizes and scope" and is more accepting of ports of iOS games.
Icon Games believes that the PSP was "hampered" by Sony "closing the door" on the indie community, but the success of the iOS platform and the App Store forced a change in the company's culture.
"Let the market decide – poor games won't sell and poor studios will fold," the post concludes. "iOS has proven that the consumer is open to a lot of different game styles and approaches, and this has allowed innovation to flourish in a way it hasn't done for a good many years."

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick says consumer excitement surrounding Modern Warfare 3 is on a scale he hasn't witnessed before.
 The executive told Reuters he couldn't disclose the number of pre-orders the publisher has taken for the game, but that it is "meaningfully different" to those for last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops.
"It's sort of surprising because you always go into the launch of a new Call of Duty game with an expectation that ... it's a hard number to beat, but if you look at the player enthusiasm for Modern Warfare 3, I don't know if we've really seen anything like it in our 21-year history."
Retailer GAME said last month it expects MW3 to break all UK pre-order records and become the firm's bestselling title ever.
Check out the most recent Modern Warfare 3 screenshots here.

A Tottenham police officer has claimed that the London riots that saw buildings burn across the capital over the weekend were inspired by Grand Theft Auto.
 That's according to UK trade bible MCV, which reports that the officer suggested to media this morning that the game had acted as a "catalyst" for the events.
A member of the Evening Standard newspaper confirmed that the GTA quotes were to be included in an article in tonight's edition of the free paper. The source would not rule out, however, the possibility of alterations being made before the paper hits presses.
In the same report, an Enfield resident is also credited with saying that GTA contributed to the civil unrest.
The Rockstar gangster series has, of course, been dragged to centre stage by the UK press following violent outbreaks in the past.
While the Daily Star didn't blame the killing spree that Raoul Moat embarked upon last July on GTA but it did claim that a GTA edition based on the horrific events was planned.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/314617/gta-inspired-tottenham-brixton-riots-suggests-police-officer/

Disclaimer: The above screenshot is actually from an unreleased PC version. But aside from the resolution the PS3 version should look identical.
I’ve started making a new homebrew PS3 game. It will be an action RPG game but it is very early in development. It currently consists of a forest that you can wander around in and some slime monsters that will follow you. You can attack but you can’t actually hurt the monsters and they can’t hurt you. There will be PC and Wii versions later.
What I would like from you:
For anybody that hasn’t noticed already the hero sprite and chests are from Neutopia II, the slime monsters are from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and the grass and tree sprites are just ugly. I’m really more interested in programming then making sprites (I loathe drawing with a mouse) but I know there are a lot of people who are really into making sprites so I’m hoping that you might be one of them.
But I’ve tried the whole collaboration thing and it has consistently turned out to be a terrible idea. I’m not very fond of getting vague offers from 50 people only to find that most of them very obviously won’t ever actually contribute anything or are horrible at what it is that they want to help with and that of the remaining few that actually appear to be both competent and motivated they mysteriously disappear off the face of the planet before finishing anything.
I’m not going to chase people down trying to get them to contribute. I would rather just make everything myself.
So let me define the rules of engagement as clearly as I ****ing can. A link to the sprite sheet is available bellow. The sprites for the final game need to be of the same size and fit on the same sheet in the same places. If you find it to be insufficiently clear where the borders are that the sprites are intended to be made within then leave a comment saying so and I will edit this post and add an additional copy of the sprite sheet that has them outlined. If you are interested in making sprites for this game then begin with making the sprites for the main character. The main character can look however you want them to look (they can be anything from an ultra cliche swords and sorcery dude to a three armed green alien with purple hair and robotic legs). If you complete the walking and attacking sprites for the main character in at least three of the eight directions then email your version of the sprite sheet to me at thatotherperson@yahoo.com and I will then potentially respond.
PS3 controls:
Left analog stick = Move
X button = attack

Here is a really bad port of my Wii/PC game Avoidance. It still plays and renders at 640×480 and instead of forcing the screen resolution down to that or being stretched to fill the screen its just drawn in the center of the screen with black borders filling the unused space. So the higher your resolution the less of the screen is actually used. If you are using a low resolution with component cables then part of the screen will flicker (I’m not completely sure why but it seems although double buffering is behaving differently then it does when using HDMI). Your score and high score are not displayed on screen and your high score is not saved. Like I said, it is a really bad port but it is playable and I don’t intend to spend any time trying to correct its flaws in the near future so I figured I would just post it as is.
PS3 controls:
Directional pad = Move

It was one of the most striking innovations of the last work of Total Noob , a "TN Settings" to change the options of the HEN directly on the XMB, now migrates to new CFW, just to CFW of neur0ner. Frostegater , PSP Russian Developer Forum Wololo us his latest creation, a plug-in name " ME XMB Control "which lets you play the functions of the TN mode Settings on CFW / LCFW 6.39 9.1 ME . Now, once plugin enabled, you can manage and modify the parameters of ME CFW directly from the XMB without having to go through the recovery menu.
To apply the new method on its CFW / LCFW 6.39 ME 9.1, you must put the contents of the downloaded archive (xmbctrl + vsh not Go for PSP, xmbctrl vsh_go + for PSP Go) in the folder seplugins . If there are already other plugins on your PSP, you must put the file xmbctrl in its place, add the following line to the text file vsh / vsh_go.txt then activate the plugin via the plugin manager integrated: ms0: / seplugins / xmbctrl / xmbctrl.prx 1 (For non-PSP CFW GB / 9.1 6.39 LCFW ME) EF0: / seplugins / xmbctrl / xmbctrl.prx 1 (for the PSP 1.9 GB 6.39 LCFW ME)

The Lavalit guys have released a new version of their Beatem Up for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wiz, Wii, GP2x and Dingoo:
penBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.
Available Platforms
----------------------
OpenBOR has a very modular and portable design inherited from Beats of Rage. Ports
to the following platforms are currently supported:
* Windows
* Linux
* Mac OS X
* Wii
* PSP
* Dreamcast
* GP2X
* GP2X Wiz
* Dingoo a320
In addition to the above, the original Beats of Rage engine (downloadable from
the Senile Team website) is available for the following platforms:
* DOS
* Playstation 2
* Xbox
* GP32
* Palmtop

Introduction
AnyLanguageStudy is a vocabulary builder application for PSP. It's created in the purpose of learning Japanese words. For example, you could use it along side with Japanese for Busy People to efficiently learn the essential key words. The application helps you to learn the language through word lists, image lists, sentences and sentence audio. It can also be used as a helpful portable dictionary.
By default, Japanese word lists are most supported. But you may easily (due to the csv format) create your own word lists for the language of your choice. Get and convert word lists from Anki if you do not wish to create them from a scratch. If you're studying more than one language, AnyLanguageStudy supports grouping the lists alphabetically by category.

SELECT: Open word list menu (saving of learned words is done before menu shows up)
START: Open global options menu
Creating word lists
### Word lists ###
AnyLanguageStudy folder includes a file dictionary.ini. The file contains info about fonts (used by a word list) and paths to word lists. If you create your own word list, simply add a new line that has the primary and secondary font info and path separated by ; (for example jpn0.pgf;ltn0.pgf;language/myLanguage/myWordList.csv). Fonts supported (by Intrafont) are
lnt0.pgf (usually a good choice for primary and secondary font. Suitable for languages that have accents.)
lnt1.pgf (usually these fonts are not needed)
...
lnt15.pgf
jpn0.pgf (for Japanese)
gb3s1518.bwfon (for Chinese)
kr0.pgf (for Korean)
arib.pgf
Fonts need to locate in flash0:/font/. If you have installed 1.50 kernel addon, you may be missing a few fonts (kr0.pfg and arib.pgf probably). You can find more information about fonts here: http://www.psp-programming.com/benhur/pgf_char_table_font.htm
If you do not want to use some word list, comment the line with #.
Word list format is also comma-separated value (csv). Words are separated with ;. For example, Finnish-English word list might have the following words:
auto;car
kissa;cat
aurinko;sun
Last word is always definition because same word might have multiple presentation formats. For example, Japanese-English word list might have the following words:
kuruma;くるま;車;car
neko;ねこ;猫;cat
hi;ひ;日;sun
An easy way to create lists is to use OpenOffice Calc and save the file as csv. After this you need to convert the file to UTF-8 without BOM encoding (DO NOT USE ANSI!). Notepad++ can be used to achieve this. You may also want to use Notepad++ to remove all " characters.
### Picture word lists ###
You may want to create picture word lists. In this case csv-file's definition is picture path. For example, cat;language/images/cat.png. Picture must end with .png. It is recommended that picture size is less than or equal to 480x272 (PSP's screen size). If you need more examples, see study_verbs_with_pictures.csv file. Only mode 1 is supported with pictures.
### Grouping word lists ###
You can group word lists by adding a group name after the path of a word list. For example,
jpn0.pgf;language/myLanguage/myWordList.csv;Japanese word list group name comes here
If you don't give a group name, it is shown as Unknown.
### Sentences ###
Sentences use csv-format. Again last is definition. The sentence file should be put in the same folder as word lists that use the sentences. Sentence list must be named sentence.csv so that it is found. For example, a line in sentence.csv might be:
Auto on nopea;Car is fast
Let's assume that you're asked what "Car" is in Finnish (it's "Auto"). When you have answered right, the above sentence is shown as it has the word "Auto".
### Sentences with audio ###
You're also able to add a wav-audio file for a sentence. For this, you must tell in sentence.csv the location/name of the audio file. By default the location is the same folder where corresponding sentence.csv is located. Let's assume we have a file car.wav that says "Auto on nopea". We just move this file to the same folder as sentence.csv and tell the filename by adding ;car like this:
Auto on nopea;Car is fast;car
The .wav ending is added automatically. If we want to use a sub folder called sound, we would move the wav file to the sound folder and do this:

Android developer Yifan Lu has reverse engineered the Xperia Play's native PlayStation emulator to make it run ripped PSX ISOs. That means you're no longer limited to Crash Bandicoot or the handful of other PSX titles that have officially trickled out from Sony Ericsson. Instead, you can grab your original games from the attic, rip them into disc images, and bring them back to life on your Play. Er, assuming that's legal, of course. Perhaps you should move to Papua New Guinea before trying it. We've attached one of Lu's videos to prove that his tweaked emulator actually works. His custom ISO of choice? More Bandicoot.

A fire at a Sony warehouse in Enfield could could delay deliveries of Sony products. The entertainment company is just one of the many buisnesses hit by the recent London riots.
No injuries have been reported, but the 20,000 square metre storage facility, which is operated by subsidiary Sony DADC and handles distribution of Blu-rays, CDs and DVDs, was still in flames this morning, with fire fighters on the scene.
"There will likely be some impact on deliveries," Yoko Yasukochi, a Sony spokeswoman told Reuters.
"We cannot determine the cause of the fire or the extent of the damage yet because it's not possible to enter the building," she added.
Reports from the scene suggest the warehouse was looted before being set alight by youths with petrol bombs.
The news caused a two per cent drop in Sony share prices.

via http://psp.dashhacks.com/2011/08/09/...ta-5-released/
Who’s jamming Geecko’s gSquare? Pretty awesome, ain’t it? Well did you know said homebrew was built using Geecko’s 2D graphics library — gLib2D? That means you too can create pure awesomeness with relative ease, should you, yourself be a developer.
gLib2D provides a layer between your code and the PSPGU, letting you interact with the PSP graphics processor for rendering & manipulating 2D graphics. It’s much easier than talking directly to the PSPGU. Include the gLib2D library in your project and code on.
Beta 5 Changes
•Improved support of intraFont
•Renamed g* functions to g2d*
•Removed g2dSetCoord*Relative’s third argument
•Using constants instead of bools for some g2d* functions (better readability)
•Dynamic allocation of the display list, no more artifacts with a small heap
•Replaced G2D_FALSE and G2D_TRUE by false and true
•Added a global scale factor : g2d(Set/Get/Reset)GlobalScale
•Better scaling quality
•Lots of code rework
•No more swizzling artifacts
•Smaller display list size, saves 3/4 megabyte
•Forced coordmode with an inverted object is no longer applied
•Corrected documentation

The HEN Total_Noob developed by the developer have certainly played a key role in reactivating the underground scene PSP to make it even more now. Just last HEN TN Guiguixbox360 aside the work of the developer, who realizes the EZ version, mod HeNe 6.39TN.
All the various TN HEN proved a cut above the various homebrew enabler released before them. Total_Noob had in fact chosen to implement the functions (VSH and support prx) hitherto exclusive custom firmware , reserving, however, exclude the ability to start backup format ISO or CSO in order to prevent his becoming a pretext for the HEN warez.
The developer Guiguixbox360 but chose to rely on the last effort of Totanl_Noob, the HEN 6:39 TN, to develop the ' HEN 6.39EZ moddata version that allows to boot up directly from XMB without the use of ISO Loader external, as well as translated in French on-screen text HeNe.
The HEN is signed to be launched on OFWs, therefore, in accordance with the adopted polita by PSP-ITA in the field of copyright, is prohibited from providing direct or indirect links to download the material in question. We thank you for reporting patty9998

via http://www.emucr.com/2011/08/pcsx2-svn-r4856.html
PCSX2 SVN r4856 is released. PCSX2 is an open source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.
PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r4853
SPU2-X: Removed the std::vector I used out of lazyness. The config dialog should no longer keep an ever-growing list of devices, and it has less potential side-effects if somehow the portaudio device list changes while the dialog is open.
3rdparty/portaudio: Removed debug prints on release targets.
r4854
SPU2-X: Experimental change! Lowered the lower latency limit to 3ms if the timestretcher is not being used. This latency will add up to the output latency as usual, but with a good sound chip this should allow overall latencies < 15ms.
r4855
Added "portable.ini" to /bin, so SVN builds will work in portable mode by default.
r4856
spu2x: linux compilation fix

 In addition to the Mega Man 9 and 10 DLC packs listed as discounted in this week'sPSN update, you can also get ... Mega Man 9 and 10. And Mega Mans 1-3. Though they didn't show up on Sony's official list of updates, the entire Mega Man catalog on PS3 is on sale this week, half off.
The PSOne Imports versions of Mega Man 1, 2, and 3 (based on the Japanese PlayStation re-releases) are now available for $2.99 each. Mega Man 9 and 10 sell for $4.99 each this week, with DLC bundles an extra $2.99. Given Capcom's recent attitude toward Mega Man, we'd love to see what happened if these discounts led to a massive sales boost.

As if saving your PS3 games to the cloud wasn't convenient enough, Sony's gone and automated the process for PlayStation Plus subscribers. The v3.70 software update offers an automatic sync option for trophies and game save states, giving members exclusive access to their gaming goods wherever they go. The firmware also packs a few additional features for non-paid users, adding a recommendation function to items in the PlayStation store, and a new "TV / Video Services" XMB category for Netflix, Hulu PLUS and VUDU apps. Sony's also thrown in a few 3D tweaks, with MPO format compatibility for photos, and support for Java-based special features and DTS-HD MA and DTS-HD HR audio output for 3D Bluray movie playback. Although the gaming giant hasn't announced an official date for the release, expect it to hit your home console soon.

Vita may be just months away from release but that isn't stopping Sony from rolling out more sweet bundles for PSP.
 The platform holder has confirmed it will release a new PSP Entertainment Pack in US which bundles a black PSP-3000, a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, and both Madden NFL 12 and Need for Speed SHIFT on UMD.
All that will set American gamers back $159.99 (just under £100) and goes on sale from August 30 (bundle pictured).
Sony executive vice president Kaz Hirai announced a 2011 release date for PlayStation Vita in Japan, but confirmed the handheld won't hit Europe or the US until next year.
The official announcement of PlayStation Vita's Japanese release date will "probably" happen at the Tokyo Game Show next month, Sony's said.

Sony has offered a free PSP and games to a man who was videoed being mugged for his console during the London riots earlier this week.
 Sony Europe marketing director Alan Duncan revealed the move in the comments section of a website set up to "do something nice for Ashraf Haziq", offering to replace the 20-year-old's PSP that was taken from his bag.
In a video (below) that appalled the nation, looters were seen to steal the system from Haziq's bag as he stood bleeding in the street.
"I'm the marketing director for PlayStation UK," Duncan posted under the username 'albinolove33'. "[We'd] like to give him a new PSP and games. Let me know the best way of getting in touch with Ashraf or the hospital. Thanks."
Sony is also one of the many victims of the London riots. A Sony warehouse in Enfield was set ablaze late on Monday night as unrest swept the capital.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/315024/sony-offers-mugged-london-riots-victim-free-psp-and-games/

Sony is about to launch its new handheld games console into a market that has fundamentally changed since the success of mobile devices, and is likely heading for a costly and ultimately doomed launch.
That's according to Lyle Hall and Matthew Seymour at Heavy Iron Studios, who believe the console is over-priced - but more importantly - that consumers have already demonstrated that they are no longer willing to pay out for single-function games devices.
"If people aren't willing to pay $249 for a Nintendo 3DS why would they pay $299 for Vita? People don't want to carry more than one thing in their pocket, that’s why Android and iPhone have done so well, they are the devices of choice, they offers multiple functions outside of gaming," Hall told GamesIndustry.biz.
I just don't know there's a market out there anymore for the hardware. I can’t see why you would want to put a device out that only does games
Lyle Hall, Heavy Iron Studios
"People don’t want it. That's Nintendo huge challenge - how do they add value to that?
Seymour, who has worked for 2K Games and Microsoft Games Studios in a career spanning 20 years, was more blunt in his assessment. "With all due respects to Sony and Vita, it's a car wreck. And how about Xperia Play? I'd love to pull up the numbers on that."
The PlayStation Vita is due this year in Japan and early next year in the US and Europe. The system will be taking centre stage at Gamescom this week, as Sony looks to position itself at the forefront of portable gaming after rival Nintendo launched the 3DS to muted response from consumers.
Less than six months since the launch of the 3DS the system has had its price unceremoniously halved in Europe, and is suffering from a lack of software and the perception that it's a simple upgrade to the DS family of consoles.
Sony's most recent attempts in the handheld market haven't been successful either. The digital-only PSPgo is largely forgotten and its mobile collaboration with Sony Ericsson - the Xperia Play - had no significant marketing push behind it.
Despite a harsh assessment of the Vita, Heavy Iron would like to see the machine succeed, said Hall, but it's the consumer that has voted with its wallet and changed the market.
"The technology is sweet, I'm a huge fan of mobile technology, but I just don't know there's a market out there anymore for the hardware. I can’t see why you would want to put a device out that only does games.
"The consumer has spoken. We wanted to see that world exist - more players, more opportunities for us, but at the same time people don't want that. Unless there's a super technology paradigm shift it’s not going to shift back."

High Street retailer GAME is to sell digital PlayStation 3 titles in-store, beginning with first-party releases like God of War Collection, MAG and Killzone Steel Rain Map Pack.
Initially limited to first-party titles, the roll-out begins in 42 GAME and Gamestation stores today, with all 620 shops expected to be selling Sony's digital content by September.
"This is a significant step forward in our digital strategy. For the first time, gamers will be able to browse a wide range of digital titles for the PlayStation Network in our stores, alongside a variety of other digital and physical products," said Ian Shepherd, GAME CEO.
"The partnership reflects the close and long standing relationship between GAME and SCEE across Europe as both companies move rapidly to innovate and bring new products and services to customers."
Last month GAME began selling digital PC and browser content in store.

Sony will initially lose around 5,000 yen (£39.90) on every PS Vita unit sold.
 That's according to estimates by SMBC Nikko Securities analyst Kazuharu Miura, who told Bloomberg (via Andriasang) that the figure is likely to fall to 2,500 yen per system in the fiscal year ending March 2013.
Miura expects Sony to sell 2.5 million PS Vita hardware units and seven million Vita games by the end of the current fiscal year in March 2012, and 8.5 million hardware units and 28 million software units the following year.
Sony said earlier this month that Vita will launch in Japan this year and in US and Europe in 2012. When it does launch in the UK, Vita will set you back £229 for the Wi-Fi model and £279 for the 3G version.
Analysts have suggested the company's under "major pressure" to reduce the launch price of the system following Nintendo's recent 3DS price cut.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/315414/sony-to-lose-pound40-per-vita-sale-analyst-reckons/

With a lack of new games recently it's no wonder there's very little chart movement lately. Once again, Dirt 3 takes No.1 on the official UK PlayStation 3 sales chart.
 It's followed by a pair of non-movers in the form of LA Noire at No.2 and Call of Juarez: The Cartel at No.3, while InFamous 2 is at No.4, ahead of Sniper: Ghost Warrior at No.5.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean comes in at No.6, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is at No.7 and FIFA 11 at No.8. Red Dead Redemption returns to the top ten at No.9, followed by Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters.
GfK/Chart-Track PS3 Top 10 (week ending August 13):
- 01. Dirt 3 (Codemasters)
02. LA Noire (Take 2)
03. Call of Juarez: The Cartel (Ubisoft)
04. InFamous 2 (Sony)
05. Sniper: Ghost Warrior (City Interactive)
06. Lego Pirates of the Carribean (Disney)

There may not be many people willing to pay over $1,000 for an Xperia Play, but it turns out there's at least a few willing to go nuts when there's some Minecraft involved. That limited edition model pictured above will be given away to a few lucky winners at the upcoming Gamescon conference in Germany, but Minecraft developer Mojang has decided to let one loose on eBay beforehand, where the bidding has already topped a grand with a full six days left. Adding a bit of extra incentive for those with deep pockets, Mojang says that it will also donate all the proceeds from the auction to an as yet unnamed charity.

Engine02 is a script-driven, multiplatform 2D game engine with builds for DOS, Windows, Linux, Intel/PPC MacOSX, PSP, Wii, and GP2X Wiz.
Complete documentation for creating games is downloadable from within the interface in PC and Mac builds, and is also available on the website. A generic template from which to build new games is also available from the in-program downloads list, as well as an open example of fully-featured gameplay.
Games created or hosted by the author and his team are directly downloadable from inside the program. Updates for the program, or any installed game, can also be downloaded from the same interface when they become available.
What's New (v11.08.11)
View complete "What's New" document
Features
A new build is now available for the GP2X Wiz
New Script Commands (1440-1472, see index in "Functions" doc)
Manual opening/creation of and reading from or writing to data files, making possible demo recording/playback, game progress saving, custom data editing, etc
Load new Player Character data into any existing Player Character slot at any time during gameplay to allow many Character types in a single game without having to expend the RAM to store them all at once
Load a new set of Global Palette Colors from a PCX/TGA image file at any time during gameplay
(Re-)Obtain a Tile Map for a Tiled Level Object from anywhere on any existing Tile Plane at any time during gameplay
Save standard Level Layout and/or Tile Data to the files that were last loaded, or a new location specified by Script Text
The _SaveObjects Command now accepts a "Register" for the Text ID parameter
Modify or retrieve (for value testing) the contents of Game Text Strings, enabling visible entry and use of names, passwords, etc
The Tile Editor has been rearranged to make better use of available screen space, and updated for functionality
The tiny, hard-to-click arrows have been removed; click options are now activated by left- or right-clicking the option label or its displayed value
The entire 256-color palette is now available all at once
An option is now available to place a smaller, less-featured version of either the Tile Selector or Level Editor in the lower-right corner for more quickly selecting tiles from the list or the level layout, drawing to the level layout, and instantly viewing changes to the overall layout image while editing a tile
Palette entries can now be swapped within the editor for easily organizing colors in preparation for Palette Animation, or any other purpose
An "Alias" system has been added so that more-easily-memorizeable names can be used for Commands, Variables, settings, etc. in scripts instead of their internal ID numbers. Aliases for standard IDs are included and listed/used in the documentation, and users can modify them and/or add their own for game-specific IDs
Tile Animations can now be set up more quickly and easily by means of the new automatic Tile Animation frame insertion, which uses the Level Editor's Tile Plane section selection/copy feature
Shortcuts have been added to both the Tile Editor and Level Editor for filling either an entire Tile or all non-transparent pixels of a Tile with any of the four solidity types
Sprite Editor "Dumps" of Player Character Sprites will now save these changes directly to the selected Character's Character Def File by default. The external "frames.txt" dump is still available, and can be performed by instead holding Ctrl while pressing Enter
Sprite Editor "Dumps" of Object Sprites will now save these changes directly to the appropriate Object Def File by default (depending on which set the currently-selected sprite set resides in). The external "frames.txt" dump is still available, and can be performed by instead holding Ctrl while pressing Enter
When viewing Object Sprites in the Sprite Editor, the Status element that displays the currently-selected set number will now display the set's ID relative to the Object Def that loaded it, rather than its E02-internal ID (Ex: If there are 28 Game-global Object Sprite Sets, the final set's ID will be shown as "27G", while the first "Zone" set's ID will be shown as "0Z" rather than "28"). The same principle has also been applied to the "Ani ID" element
When viewing Player Character Sprites in the Sprite Editor, the Status element that displays the currently-selected "Animation Function" will now display the set's ID relative to the "Player Character Common Functions" list or the selected Player Character's "Character Specific Functions" list, rather than its E02-internal ID (Ex: If there are 33 Player Character Common Functions, the final Function will be shown as "32C", while the first Player Character's first "Character-Specific" Function ID will be shown as "0P" rather than "33"). Also, the selection will default to the Player Character's first "Character-Specific" Function, and "Character-Specific" Functions belonging to Player Characters other than the one that is currently selected will not be accessible
A new error message has been added to report when Sprite width and/or height are defined as 0 (or less) for both Player Character and Object Sprites, eliminating crashes due to such settings. Please use a 1x1 sprite that loads a single transparent pixel for "invisible" Sprites or Sprite Frames
Further optimizations have been made to level collision testing for both Players and Objects
Message system messages have been made easier to read; each string is now drawn with a background color rather than allowing the game/editor/interface screen to show through
On program startup, there is now a three-second delay on updates testing that provides time to cancel the connection attempt. Also, when pressing F8 to return to the main menu, the menu comes up immediately instead of again testing for updates first
The current FPS has been removed from the Level Editor's Status display, since the display toggled by F10 makes it redundant
Bugfixes
_???=TileInfo(???) commands were treating incoming position values as unsigned rather than signed, which caused negative values to read as extremely high positive values and fail to wrap around the level or looping section boundaries correctly, causing crashes due to out-of-bounds reads. This has been corrected; passing variables containing negative X and/or Y position values will now cause the position to be wrapped properly, eliminating the crash and returning the correct tile data
Sprite Editor "Dumps" would fail without displaying an error/warning if the "dump" folder didn't already exist in the currently-loaded game's Game Folder. These features now automatically create this folder when appropriate
"F" for vertically flipping a single Tile Frame in the Tile Editor wasn't working at all, and "M" for horizontally mirroring the current Tile Frame was only functioning on Frame 0 rather than the currently-selected Frame. Also, these features were not functioning correctly in the DOS build with a "vmode" setting greater than 2 (default is 3). These features now function the way they were intended
All TGA image dumps were output with a single incorrect byte setting in the header, causing them not to load properly or at all in the majority of image editors (except, conveniently, the one that was used for testing). This has been corrected, and TGA image dumps for screen shots, level maps, sprite editor dumps, etc. should now open properly in all editors that support 8bit indexed-color RLE-compressed TGA images

Two days ago I mentioned that Half Byte Loader was a good way to still run homebrews on official firmware 6.60, if you’re one of the poor souls who updated. It turns out I was wrong, as HBL, for now, doesn’t run on Firmware 6.60, due to some tricky changes in the PSP firmware. JJS found a workaround however and published a Debug version of HBL, that runs on 6.60. Since the download also contains a patch file, it is fairly easy to compile a “release” build for those who want to, but JJS announced he still wants to add a few tweaks before we feel confident to publish a release build.In the meantime, if you are on 6.60 and definitely need to play homebrews, you can check ToBSucht’s great list with hundreds of signed homebrews, or you can try JJS’s debug build of Half Byte Loader.
This is of course, until a downgrader or a Hen appear for 6.60, which should happen sooner than later

I rarely talk about neur0n’s work, mostly because it is only compatible with hackable motherboards (PSP 1000/2000) and that was not where my interest was over the past months. But neur0n keeps regularly improving his CFW, making it a real good alternative to Pro CFW, or to M33 for those of us who are still running the good old m33.
A few hours ago, after a few beta releases, neur0n published a “version 1″ official release of his 6.60 ME (Minimum Edition) CFW. That’s basically a Custom firmware with the latest improvements from the Official Sony updates
Before people jump and ask, this does not allow you to run a CFW on a 6.60 OFW PSP. This tool can only be installed on a hackable PSP that is already running a Custom Firmware. Check the readme in the archive for more details.

While we’re all waiting for a new Kernel exploit, a Hen, or a CFW on 6.60, we might want to enjoy some homebrews on the latest Sony firmware. For that, you currently have two possibilities. Either give a try to the the hundreds of signed homebrews that are available, or if you find a homebrew that is not signed, run it through HBL. I said a few days ago that HBL would run out of the box on firmware 6.60. This wasn’t true, some additional security was added that prevented HBL to run. But thanks to the work of JJS, only a couple days after the release of OFW 6.60, we are able to provide you a version of HBL that runs on the latest Sony firmware. This one is a full release build, so it runs faster than the debug builds you might have seen recently

Here is an updated build of The Unmapped Forest. At the moment it is still using placeholder graphics.
What has changed:
I’ve fixed the problem that caused it to freeze at a black screen when running at certain resolutions.
You have health and can be hurt.
You can now kill monsters.
You gain experience for killing monsters and you can level up infinitely (there is no level cap).
When you level up your maximum health is increased and you are fully healed.
When a monster (or its corpse) and its spawn point are both out of view then the monster is given full health and returned to its spawn point to wait for you to approach.
There are now five types of monsters.
The world has been expanded upon. For anybody that wants to further edit the game world you can easily do so by modifying the file “/dev_hdd0/game/UNMAPPEDF/USRDIR/world.dat” with any text editor.
The camera is zoomed out further.
You can now use the right analog stick to move the camera around.
Movement speed has been slightly increased.
I have improved the way that sprites are layered (there is still a problem with things occasionally being incorrectly drawn in front of trees that they are standing behind but this will be fixed soon).
Improved collisions.
PS3 controls:
Left analog stick = Move
Right analog stick = Look
X button = attack

We Are Nowhere is a brief nonsense conversation with the deranged and disembodied and this is a PS3 port of it.
Its short, simple and not really a game. I don’t really expect many people to like it. But I’m still very interested to hear what people think of it.
If anyone is interested in translating it or writing their own conversations or choose your own adventure stories then let me know and I will fix it up a bit more and externalize all of the text.

Sony’s latest PSP firmware — firmware 6.60 — has been cracked wide open, which doesn’t really surprise me. In a futile attempt Sony again changed up their keys — keys that handle the encryption/decryption routines for said firmware — and those keys are now present in Psardumper, letting you dump/decrypt 6.60 in its entirety.
You can thank some1 and Proxima for this Psardumper release; neur0n also, who has readied a beta version of CFW 6.60 ME. But because 6.60 ME is not an official release just yet, I’ll ask you download it here if you’re interested. Note: You must be using a current HEN or CFW to activate and it’s for PSP-1000/2000 only

As the title suggests, this is a Mac application that allows you to prepare a magic MS memory card, it could with the PSP pandora battery débricker compatible, but also to downgrade the CFW install some permanent with custom IPL. This application MAC is in development for over a year Lazboy100 , she has spent recently in version 2.0 with some new features: - The GUI of the application has been reorganized. - New option to include the CFW 5.00 M33-7. - Option to include similar install ME-8 6.39. - New icon for the application. This type of application already exists on Windows but this is the first on the Apple operating system, so it will greatly facilitate the task to "MAC lover's" who want to make a magic MS without PSP. More than to bring a pandora battery and embark on the adventure .

He was behind the famous feat 6.38/6.39 kernel that gave new life to PSP stuck on top of the OFW 6.36. Now he is back with a new kernel exploit for firmware 6.60!
PSP Developer some1 wololo.net forum about to launch its new KXPLOIT 6.60 and works together on a 6.60 downgrader for all PSP.
The information was revealed by some beta testers who have had the chance to test his new jewelry, it has also been confirmed by some1 himself on the forum wololo.net. With this innovation, it is clear that the new official firmware from SONY could not resist a lot of different developers in front of the stage, something that was expected, however, saw some1 once said he found three flaws in the firmware 6.38/6.39 one of which is currently used for the downgrade, CFW 6.39 PRO LCFW ME and 6.39. Grosso-mode has done well to keep two on hand for this newcomer. Will we see CFW 6.60, wait & see, response in the near future . Here is a proof-of-concept in video :

After learning that the future JFW 3.41 DH will not have access to the PSN as announced in its infancy, the development team gives us today the first details of their alternative for JFW DH.
RNA "Real Network Access" is the name of the online service that will be offered to users of the future CFW Spanish (due next October 1). Under this name hides a range of options and features similar to those proposed by the NHP, but (for now) not yet online gaming! Hades Demon announced a few days ago that their CFW integrate a network gaming system by LAN similar to "XlinkKai". This one can be integrated into the "Real Network Access" in the future. It is the developer blip of JFW DH team behind this new product and presenting it on the forum DemonHades: As you can see on the Pictured above, this will be the primary design of the NAS with the few options available to the first version! Friends: Add your friends so they can see your profile, avatar and information, you also route their profiles and make comparisons. Trophies: Update your trophies to your friends to see. In a future release we will put a function to display your trophies through social networks such Facebook or Twitter. Network: Not active in the first version, but will be the meeting place. Create chat rooms and join other people would be one of the functions that will be available. Inbox: Send and receive messages with friends. In future versions, you could invite your friends. Quick Menu:
Using the arrow keys, the menu will change giving you access to options:
- Your profile.
- Friends list.
- Messages.
- Menu.
- Suggestions welcome. Progression (14/08/11 - 3:30 am): PHP server: - Login: 100% - Negotiation Process (security): 30% - File Creator Package: 100% - User Information: 0% - Trophies: 0% - Friends: 0% PS3 PKG: - GUI Basic: 80% - Interactions and Control: 40% - Dynamic and animations: 20% Overall Project Progress: 5% So the alternative of PSN JFW DH is revealed a little, certainly not yet online gaming but it will come see the capabilities of this team of developers in Spain. Wait & see.

The Lavalit guys have released a new version of their Beatem Up for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wiz, Wii, GP2x and Dingoo:
penBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.
Available Platforms
----------------------
OpenBOR has a very modular and portable design inherited from Beats of Rage. Ports
to the following platforms are currently supported:
* Windows
* Linux
* Mac OS X
* Wii
* PSP
* Dreamcast
* GP2X
* GP2X Wiz
* Dingoo a320
In addition to the above, the original Beats of Rage engine (downloadable from
the Senile Team website) is available for the following platforms:
* DOS
* Playstation 2
* Xbox
* GP32
* Palmtop

Recently the developers over at Gitbrew have been working on a number of neat projects around the PS3 Console, and we being in close contact with them, and gotten a preview of something that will make everyone more then happy in PS3 'Scene'! We are talking about NPDRM and the v3.60+ problem. -- Previously only those with an official Sony PS3 SDK could do anything, and still in a limited fashion, and recently the developers have been able to use a heavly modified PSL1GHT setup to do the impossible, sign a package for the v3.60+ system!

Sony has confirmed that it is to cut the price of the PlayStation 3 with immediate effect.
The 160GB model will now retail at €249 / $249 / ¥24,980 / £199 and the 320GB console for $299 in the US with European, UK and Japanese equivalents yet to be decided.
To some surprise Sony also announced a new value model PSP during its press conference at Gamescom in Germany today, priced at €99, without WiFi support.
However, the company did not reveal anymore solid details on the European launch of its next handheld, the PlayStation Vita, which is currently scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2012, following a late 2011 release in Japan.
Sony's PlayStation branded 3D TV, first shown at E3 this year, will retail at €499 (£436) and come with two pairs of glasses.
Sony demoed a number of titles for the Vita system, including Nihilistic's Resistance: Burning Skies, Double 11's LittleBigPlanet, Reality Fighters from Novorama and new IP Escape Plan.
During the presentation, new Sony Europe CEO Jim Ryan reiterated that all PlayStation Vita games will be available to buy as downloads from the PlayStation Store. It will also support Skype and Foursquare services.
According to Michael Denny, Worldwide Studios boss for Europe, Sony is "confident we will have the strongest launch line up on a console ever," for Vita.

Crysis developer Crytek has said that dedicated handheld games consoles are losing ground to multifunctional tablet devices in the portable space.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, the developer of hardcore shooting games said that it has no immediate interest in Sony's PlayStation Vita, despite the team's willingness to adopt and experiment with new, high-end technology.
"While it's a nice achievement from Sony in the first step it's not something we would take into consideration in the short term," said Crytek managing director Avni Yerli.
Yesterday Heavy Iron Studios criticised handheld consoles, in particular the Vita, claiming that the audience no longer wants a single-function gaming portable when iOS and Android systems offer so much more functionality.
Yerli agreed that tablets offer more, stating: "I can see that the multifunctions that devices like tablets offer is a big advantage of them. And I think people want one mobile device that can do multiple things.
"Considering this, I think those handhelds are lacking in that area and they are losing ground, actually. I think they have to be more innovative."
Crytek is very open to new technology, said Yerli, so long as the team can get excited about what it offers or it fits into the overall philosophy of the Crytek business.
"In the first place anything new and exciting gets our attention, regardless of what it is. But then the second step is does it fit to what we want to do? Will our people like to work on this? It's all very important. The team must pick it up as well, or a dedicated team we think can pick it up. But ultimately it must make sense in the context of Crytek."
"And then sometimes we say 'OK, that's a nice piece of technology but it doesn't fit' so we leave it. It's a matter of whether it fits basically, with the strategy of Crytek."
Crytek is currently working on free-to-play game Warface with Tencent and Kinect exclusive Ryse.

SCEE has just confirmed that it will indeed release the 24 inch 3D display that it announced for North America at E3 this year, only it hasn't quite retained the bargain appeal of the US offering.
The platform confirmed that the display will launch in EU in Autumn for 499 Euros - which is as good as £436 - with two pairs of glasses. It made no mention of any bundled game. The press conference room went quiet.
Let's compare that to US; they will get the TV with admittedly only one pair of glasses, and a copy of Motorstorm Apocalypse for $499. Slap that figure into a currency converter and it'll spit out £303.
Rip-off-Britain in full effect then. And with that price you'd probably do better to look around - there are other small-size 3D displays already available for less.
Sony reconfirmed that the 24 inch TV will also come with 'Simulview' functionality - a feature that lets two people (wearing the 3D glasses) to see two completely different views (in 2D) at the same time, eradicating the need to play two-player games in split-screen.

Sony has just confirmed, for CVG, a PS3 price cut to £199 in the UK.
The news comes following Andrew House's announcement of PS3 price cuts for the US and EU at GamesCom effective from today.
Amazon UK beat Sony to the punch, however, as the publisher's conference began in Cologne. The online retailer dropped the 320GB model to £215.20 and the 160GB model to £192.
Many were expecting a PS3 price cut to be announced during Sony's GamesCom conference especially since Nintendo's Wii U reveal at E3 earlier this year.
Ubisoft tipped a price cut for both 360 and PS3 this year back in June.

Sony has confirmed the inclusion of Skype and Foursquare for PlayStation Vita.
Sony also confirmed that all PS Vita games will be sold from the PlayStation Store, as well as on physical media from shops.
Skype was rumoured for inclusion back in June. Microsoft became the new owner of Skype in May 2011. Was this deal inked before then?
Foursquare is location spotting technology that enables you to check-in at various real-life locations such as the gym, or the pub.
The pair were confirmed during Sony's Gamescom 2011 press conference this evening.

Wondering how you'll be able to most efficiently brag to far away friends about your new PlayStation Vita? Sony's got the answer in the form of newly announced apps for its next generation portable. Vita Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and Skype apps will be landing in the PlayStation Store in Japan before the end of the year. The US and Europe will get their shot at the free apps in early 2012.

Sony had more than just PS3 price cut to reveal at its Gamescom press conference today: it also announced that it will be releasing a new budget-priced PSP model that sports a new design and curiously ditches the WiFi capability that the PSP has had since its debut. No word of a North American release just yet, but folks in Europe will be able to pick it up this fall for €99 (or about $140, though we're guessing the actual US price would come in below that; the standard PSP-3000 currently demands €130 in Europe). Hit the gallery below for a closer look.
Update: Sony has now also confirmed that the device will be dubbed the PSP E-1000, and that it will indeed only be available in PAL territories.

Ubisoft is developing six games for the PlayStation Vita.
The French publisher intends to support Sony's handheld from the very start of its lifecycle, with Rayman: Origins, Lumines, Asphalt, Dunegeon Hunter Alliance, Michael Jackson: The Experience, and the Assassin's Creed franchise all confirmed.
"With its processing power, dual tactile screens and cameras, PS Vita allows creators like Ubisoft new and unique opportunities to develop innovative games," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot in a statement.
"We've got a strong and varied line-up that will offer fun and immersion to all audiences of the PS Vita."
Price-points and launch dates have not been confirmed.

Sony has revealed that the dev kits for the PlayStation Vita will sell for €1,900 plus VAT.
Speaking at GDC Europe yesterday, as reported by Develop, SCEE's George Bain said there is also no cost to join the PS Vita Develop Program.
"There's just that cost of the dev kit. If you're a small developer, we happy to talk to you about this. It will help if you have a games portfolio. There's no reason we won't speak with smaller studios about joining up."
According to Bain, prototype dev kits for Vita can be free. Sony's Pub Fund - which helps smaller developers fund their games in return for exclusivity - is receiving up to 15 pitches a week. Although currently limited to games, it's expected that non-gaming apps will eventually come to Vita, as well as free-to-play models.
The Vita launches this year in Japan and before the end of March in Europe and the US priced at $249 for the WiFi model and $299 for the 3G version.
Some developers including Heavy Iron and Crytek have been critical of the high price of the console, and suggested that it's launching in a portable market that has fundamentally changed since the introduction of smartphones and tablets.
Yesterday the Vita took centre stage at Sony's Gamescom press conference, with new games including Resistance: Burning Skies, Reality Fighters, Escape Plan and LittleBigPlanet on display.

Sony has put an end to rumours that the PlayStation Vita's RAM was cut in half to keep costs down.
The idea that the Vita's specs had been downgraded surfaced inMay, and seemed to be confirmed by Novarama CEO Dani Sánchez-Crespo last month.
However, according to 1UP, the RAM was cofirmed as 512MB in a press release announcing the handheld's support of the social media applications Foursquare, Facebook, Twitter and Skype.
The Vita is due for release in Europe early next year for €249.99.

Last month Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot sent the rumour mill into overdrive when he suggested that Sony will be forced into rush-releasing PS4in the wake of Nintendo bringing out the Wii U.
But new Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan shrugged off such claims when CVG put them to him at Gamescom - implying that there's no next-gen console coming from his company anytime soon.
"All I'm focussed on right now is making the most of PS3," he said. "We've over 50 million PS2's installed across our PAL territory, and as you've heard yesterday we're up to 22 [million] on PS3, so there is a long way to go. That's all we need to focus on for now."
Instead of looking towards PS4, Ryan says - as suspected - that top of his list of things to do is to launch the new console Sony has confirmed - Vita - more successfully than its many PSP predecessors.
"It's obviously a top priority," he admitted. "We're going to launch early next year and it's critical that a marketplace the size of ours has a succesful launch, installs a lot of product, and that we publish all the great games that we have [lined up for it]."
Ryan insists it will succeed where previous iterations failed for two reasons: "The quality of the content available at launch far exceeds anything we've had on any platform [at the same stage], not just PSP. Marketing great content is much more straightforward than marketing content that perhaps is not so great.
"Secondly, come the fall [2012] you're going to see the heavy guns from the third party community coming to the platform, giving us additional momentum for the Christmas selling season."
Those heavy guns include 2K, with a debut handheld instalment of Bioshock, and Activision, which is bringing Call Of Duty to the new machine. But it's the bespoke Assassin's Creed game for Vita that Ryan is most excited about.
"The guys at Ubi are going to do something very special with Assassins Creed," he says. "It'll be built from the ground up - a brand new game designed with the new interfaces in mind. That IP, with the strength of the characters Ubi always put in those games, and Vita with all the sexy new stuff it's doing, can be a really potent combination."

Last year DirecTV started offering NFL Sunday Ticket To-Go access even to those who couldn't / wouldn't get their satellite packages, and it's upping the ante this year by bringing its slate of football games to the PlayStation 3. NFL Sunday Ticket To-Go is still a $50 add-on that adds HD streaming access on PCs and mobile devices, however this year there's also an app for the Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Android tablets. PS3 owners can get in on the action either by adding the To-Go option or paying a flat $339.95 without DirecTV service. Of course, it's still interested in enticing people to switch to the dish by offering Sunday Ticket at no additional charge for new subscribers -- just ask fairy Deion Sanders after the break. No word on any apps for Boxee, Roku and the rest, but other new additions for the 2011 season (now that the lockout is resolved and it's actually happening) include a new four channel mix with larger cells for those late afternoon games, and integration with NFL.com Fantasy Football that lets viewers keep up with their scores and players right on the TV.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/17/directv-brings-nfl-sunday-ticket-to-android-tablets-and-the-ps3/

The ample power of Sony's new portable, Vita, means there's not a huge difference between development for it and its bigger PS3 sibling.
 Speaking in a video interview with the PS Blog (below), developer Nihilistic's Rob Heubner said Sony has been seeing PS3 developers to get the most out of Vita.
"We're a PlayStation 3 company. That's our engine, that's out technology. And really, [Sony] were looking for PS3 developers to milk the power out of the Vita, and I think that's definitely the right way to go because it's got a lot of power," said Huebner.
"It's got all the shaders, it's got a lot of CPU, so it's really not that big of a change for us to work on the Vita compared to the PS3," he added.
He would know - Heubner is part of the team developing Resistance: Burning Skies on Vita, the official title of which was revealed at Gamescom this week alongside screenshots and footage of the game looking pretty sweet on the small screen.
Huebner says the aim is to make a "no-compromises experience with all the elements you'd expect from a Resistance game." http://www.computerandvideogames.com/316177/moving-from-ps3-to-vita-is-not-that-big-a-change-dev/

Sony announced a global PlayStation 3 price cut at GamesCom on Tuesday so there's never been a better time to pick up the console.
 But before you excitedly shuffle off to your local store or online retailer of choice, take a few moments to check out our round-up of the best deals available right now.
Play.com has the 120GB and 160GB versions of the console on their own for £185.99 and 189.99 respectively. But your best bet is probably one of its bundles. For £234.99 you can pick up the 320GB console along with the PlayStation Move: Starter Pack. Or for the same price, you can choose the console with Uncharted 2 and Killzone 3, or Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time and ModNation Racers.
GAME has also put together a few pretty good bundles for in-store pick-up. The PS3 320GB with Ferrari Challenge, FIFA 11 and either Infamous 2, Killzone 3 or Motorstorm will set you back £249.99. If that doesn't win you over you can pick up a 160GB Slim for £179.99 when purchasing any new or pre-owned game or opt for a 320GB Slim for £229.99 when buying a new or pre-owned title. Trade in an original PS3 you'll get £100 trade-in credit towards a new Slim model.
Amazon has three pretty good bundles on offer. A 320GB console with inFamous 2, Virtua Tennis 4 or LittleBigPlanet 2 is priced at £215.20.http://www.computerandvideogames.com...ing-price-cut/
If you're after Gran Turismo 5 with your PS3, GameStop has you covered. It's selling the 320GB model along with Polyphony Digital's beautiful racing sim for £234.97.
Those are some of our best picks, but if you stumble on any particularly good PS3 deals be sure to tell your fellow CVG buddies in the comments below.

Vita's 512MB of RAM enables it to run programs in the background while gamers are playing games, Sony has said.
One of those programs is cross-game voice chat via Vita's Party system.
"Part of the reason [for including 512MB of RAM] is more RAM means easier development for game developers," Sony president of Worldwide Studios Shu Yoshida told Eurogamer at Gamescom.
"But as important as that is to allow the PS Vita always to do more while the game is running in the background, or when you switch between the game and other applications or system software functionalities.
"So the reason why we were able to include something like Party, which enables cross-game voice chat, is because we designed Vita so it always has enough resources to handle something like that behind the game while it's running."
At Gamescom Sony revealed the final specifications of Vita, set for launch in Europe in early 2012.
The confirmation of 512MB of RAM ended months of speculation about the power of the machine, speculation sparked by a comment by a developer that appeared to back up murmurings that Sony had halved the amount of memory in Vita.
The RAM reduction rumour began in May when a French source said Sony had lowered the base Wi-Fi Vita model's RAM from 512MB to 256MB to lower the cost of the unit to compete with Nintendo's 3DS.
But according to Yoshida, Sony never even considered cutting the amount of memory powering the portable.
"It has been very funny," he said. "There were some rumours for the last few months. Some developer mentioned the RAM was halved. We never announced the amount of RAM, and we never changed it.
"We've been making games, right, and we've been showing the games, like Uncharted, since January. If RAM gets cut in the middle of development, there's no way we can complete the games. So I was like, what's going on?
"I got lots of Tweets saying, Sony made a huge mistake by reducing the amount of RAM. We never talked about the amount of RAM and we never cut it.
"So going into Gamescom we agreed there was no reason we should hide it, so we just added it to the specifications. We always had 512MB of main RAM and 128MB of V-RAM. Actually when you add them together, PS Vita has more RAM than PS3 [the PS3 has 256MB of XDR DRAM main memory and 256MB of GDDR3 video memory]."
The speculation around Vita's RAM caused some concern over the power of the final version of the machine. Yoshida moved to reassure gamers about this.
"So far we've been getting very positive reactions from our developer and publisher partners," he said. "We could put even more power into the portable, but there has to be a balance made between the size of the unit, the weight and the amount of time you can play. We think we've hit the right balance in terms of creating a great experience on the PS Vita.
"The PS3 provides a full HD experience. The resolution on the PS Vita screen is much lower. Even though it's four times the resolution of PSP, compared to the console, the amount of data you have to push is much smaller. So that works to the advantage of the PS Vita."

US retailer GameStop is currently beta testing the streaming of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games, with a plan to roll-out a consumer service by the middle of next year.
Earlier this year the company bought Spawn Labs, extending its peer-to-peer game streaming service into a cloud gaming offering, and promised "a wide selection of high-definition video games on demand on any internet-enabled device."
Yesterday it revealed that as well as PC game streaming, it is working with publishers to stream console games to smart devices as well as dedicated hardware via the Spawn software client.
"Spawn recently began its first beta and is currently live, testing the streaming of Xbox 360, PS3 and PC games from a data centre in Austin, Texas," confirmed GameStop president Tony Bartel.
The beauty of Spawn is it can take a very large assortment of games. There's really no restriction versus an Xbox 360 and PS3 game.
"We continue to get positive feedback from our publishing partners about the pro-console, low-investment model that we have chosen."
The closed beta will go national before the end of the year. At the beginning of 2012 GameStop is expected to reveal more details about the service and what it offers, along with a pricing model - and a nationwide launch is currently scheduled for the first half of 2012.
The Spawn client will be offered to GameStop's PowerUp Rewards members - currently 12 million customers - and feature a demo service which it's claimed will not require publishers to modify their games.
Cloud gaming technology from Gaikai and OnLive is already proving a viable business, offering PC games and demos over the internet with very little in the way of dedicated hardware beyond the right control method.
Behind closed doors these technologies have also shown format crossover such as World of Warcraft running on an iPad or console and full PC games launching from within Facebook.
And with the growth of Smart and connected TVs, both Gaikai and OnLive are dropping their technologydirectly into the hardware and consulting on dedicated controllers, taking streaming games straight to the consumer's living room - an area that GameStop is also interested in.
"Those conversations are taking place today," offered Bartel. "There's a whole cadre of services that GameStop can offer far beyond just Spawn. The beauty of Spawn is it can take a very large assortment of games. There's really no restriction versus an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game.
"We're also experimenting with PC game delivery as well, but we can take that to any Internet-connected device including TV. So clearly, it's part of our acquisition forethought. We anticipated being involved in smart TVs as well."

US retailer GameStop has reported that sales of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's 3DS have already jumped after both received recent price cuts.
While the 3DS price cut was larger than expected, president Tony Bartel told investors last night he's encouraged by the growth in hardware - sales of console in the second quarter were down, accounting for only 7.5 per cent of profits.
"We have seen a significant acceleration in the sale of PlayStation 3 and the 3DS," he said. "So we do expect for there to be an increase.
"Although these were not unexpected price decreases or price reductions that we had projected, obviously, the 3DS was somewhat larger than what we had anticipated. But we do see that will spark demand in the third and the fourth quarter."
"That is a good barometer for what is going to take place in terms of the installed base."
Nintendo dropped the price of the 3DS this last week with plenty of warning after poor sales, while Sony cut the RRP of the PlayStation 3 with immediate effect this week.
Another US retailer, Target, told our sister site IndustryGamers that it has also seen an "immediate lift"in sales.

Sony, after nearly two years on standing firm on PS3's price, dropped the console to $249, and it's been having an immediate impact. GameStop has already noted a 'significant' increase in PS3 sales, while big box retailer Target confirmed an 'immediate lift' in sales and recommended PS3 as a 'great option' for its customers. Not only that, but leading e-tailer Amazon saw PS3 sales explode by 400% in the days after the price cut. All told, in the months ahead, analysts are expecting Sony to see as much as a 30% sales bump for PS3 this holiday season."

Sony has revealed that cross-game voice chat, a feature which many PS3 owners have been pleading for, can't be implimented due to RAM constraints in the hardware.
According to Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, games are given priority when distributing the RAM, leaving little to none for feature such as voice chat.
Apparently this is something that can't be changed, so it's unlikely we'll see the feature be introduced in future system updates.
"Once a game gets RAM we never give it back," Yoshida has said, "It's not possible to retrofit something like that after the fact."
"The game has to use its own memory to do in-game voice chat. There's always voice chat in the game. But it's a part of a game feature. It's not a part of an OS feature. That's the reason in terms of the ability to have voice chat across different games," he added.
Earlier this week Sony cleared up rumors by stating the PlayStation Vita's RAM hasn't been cut by half. It went on to confirm that the upcoming handheld will contain 512MB of RAM, with 128MB of dedicated VRAM. More than enough for cross-game chat we reckon.

Sony is absolutely convinced we're going to see "a lot of mobile and tablet gamers come over to Vita".
 That's according to SCEA hardware marketing director John Koller, who countered recent claims that there isn't a market for a device like the Vita during an interview with IndustryGamers.
"When you look at the type of consumer that's playing cell phone games currently, it's someone that enjoys smaller 'kill time' gaming and has not gravitated to the larger, richer, deeper experiences that true handheld gaming provides," he said.
"As we go toward the PlayStation Vita, I can tell you that as we started looking at that product and the market opportunity several years ago, we saw a real strong demographic for those deeper, richer, console-type experiences.
"We had them on PSP, but we've taken them to a new level on PS Vita with the entirety of new ways to play," he added. "That 'new ways to play' idea, particularly for Vita, really differentiates from what's available on mobile phones or tablets and, frankly, what will be available on those platforms over the next three to five years.
"You're going to see PS Vita expand what a lot of people believe to be true about handheld gaming, and you're going to see a lot of those current mobile phone and tablet gamers come over to Vita. We're very convinced of that."http://www.computerandvideogames.com/316192/sony-convinced-vita-can-poach-mobile-gamers/

UK PS3 sales jumped almost 65 percent week-over-week following the introduction of a global price cut last Tuesday.
 That's according to a "reliable retail source" close to MCV, which also reports that a heavyweight PS3 marketing campaign kicked off today. The site says an extensive 5,000 run of six-sheet public poster ads hit UK high streets this morning.
Last week, Sony slashed the price of the 160GB PS3 from £249 to £199 in the UK, and the cost of the 320GB version from £299 to £249.
John Koller, director of hardware marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America, said of the move: "We're opening our arms for the Xbox 360 and Wii owners to come over. There's a real opportunity for those consumers to be able to play, what we view, are the best games in the industry on the PS3 this fall."http://www.computerandvideogames.com/316398/ps3-sales-up-65-following-price-cut-report/

News via http://wololo.net/wagic/2011/08/22/t...sets-in-wagic/
If you haven’t heard, I’m running a little contest for Wagic users, and there’s 100$ in cash for the winner (check here if you’re interested).We recently got our first entry for the contest, Vikta’s Temple of Wololo. This is an original take at the campaign system, as it doesn’t have much of a story, but basically allows you to “donate” some credits to the “Temple of Wololo”, and in exchange get a set to unlock for you. Very useful, especially if you’re close to the end of the game and only have a few last sets to unlock (they get more and more difficult to unlock with time…).
Temple of Wololo can be downloaded from Vikta’s thread here, but other (more serious?) campaigns for Wagic can also be downloaded from our campaigns subforum. To install a campaign, just unzip it into the “campaigns” subfolder of your wagic resource folder. To play it, simply run the game and select 1player > Story then choose the campaign you want in the selection menu.
You have until September 15th to submit your campaign to the contest. Right now Vikta’s entry is the only competitor, so there sure is room for more entries

Here is something “new” that I have been playing with. It’s sort of a continuation of a browser based demo I made when HTML5 was the cool new thing and I was still messing around with JavaScript and an HTML5 canvas for the first time.
Currently there is some green stuff that falls down and you can rotate the world to make it fall in a different direction and in doing so you can get the green stuff to navigate the world. There is a built in level editor.
It is just a toy at the moment and a roughly constructed one at that. I will probably do a bit more work on it and make it into a game but I don’t know when. I’m not really considering it a very high priority. If you think it’s interesting and want to see it improved upon sooner rather then later then let me know.
PS3 controls:
Left analog stick = Move the camera
L1 and R1 = rotate the camera and the direction of gravity
L2 and R2 = zoom the camera in and out
X (in the editor) spawn a wall (hold and drag to scale)
Circle (in the editor) spawn a something (hold and drag to scale)
Square (in the editor) spawn slime
Triangle (in the editor) delete the most recently spawned thing

Here is another updated version of They Do Not Die. This new update Most notably features destructible walls and the ability to save the game state. Game saves are fairly large and consequently rather slow to create and load but that will improve over time.
I’m still undecided about what the subtitle should be so keep posting any ideas you have. Right now I’m leaning towards going with Collateral Damage (suggested by Griffunt) or Life After Death (suggested by Annelies)
On a less obviously related subject does anybody know how to go about measuring the passage of time with millisecond precision (or near enough to it for it to be usable when calculating the frame rate) when developing for PS3 with PSL1GHT?
What has changed:
You can save the game at any time and obviously also load that save.
The on screen text now scales so it no longer fills an overly large portion of the screen at low resolution.
In addition to your gun you now have a rocket launcher.
Rockets explode when they are shot, hit a person or hit a wall.
Explosions destroy walls, push people back and hurt people.
You can now run which consumes energy.
Shooting momentarily prevents energy from regenerating.
If you try to consume energy when you have none left then you will instead lose health.
The speed that your health regenerates at directly correlates to how much energy you have.
The screen (specifically the edges of it) turn red when you are low on health.
The world is more densely populated.
PS3 controls:
Left analog stick = Move
Right analog stick = Aim
L1 = Shoot the rocket launcher
R1 = Shoot the gun
L3 = Run
Select = Save
Start = Load

Sony DADC has signed collaboration agreements with Cinram and Cert Octavian to operate interim warehouse locations after its Enfield warehouse burned down during the London riots.
Around 80 per cent of Enfield's products are now stored and distributed from Cert Octavian's Hoddesdon site, while the rest will be handled by Cinram in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. All of the Enfield staff will remain employees of DADC.
"Our staff members have been incredibly supportive, often working extended hours to make a fast contingency solution happen as quickly and smoothly as possible," said Darren Houghton, managing director of UK distribution
Sony DADC also reports that effects on customers was limited.
"By utilizing a multi-site approach, it guaranteed that not a single order or EDI (= Electronic Data Interchange) was lost, and all IT systems and services were up and running and not affected by the fires," explained Houghton.
The fire on August 8 destroyed property worth in excess of £30 million. The site handled distribution of Blu-rays, DVDs and CDs.

Sony will reposition PlayStation Home as a hub for social games, VentureBeat reports.
The process will be led by a redesign this autumn, which will introduce new features and areas to help users find games and facilitate play.
"This is a giant leap in the evolution of the platform," said PlayStation Home director Jack Buser. "We are going to 'up level' games as the heart of PlayStation Home. This means that Home itself is going to become a game. The first things you see when you get into Home are games."
When it launched in 2008 Home was positioned as a virtual world, but the rise of social networks and social games since then has prompted Sony to rethink its strategy.
The central plaza will be replaced by an area called The Hub, where users can check an activity board to for missions in MMO-style "meta-games" that take place within Home. Users will also be able to create custom events for their social groups.
Outside of The Hub, Home will now have themed areas for different game styles and genres. These will include Sportswalk, the Adventure District, and the Action District.
Sony will also update its core client to provide a more streamlined experience, with separate tracks for new, returning and regular users.
Buser claims that 23 million PlayStation 3 owners are currently registered in Home, with the average visit lasting around 70 minutes.

Sony updated PlayStation Home in the spring of this year, and gave its virtual world multiplayer support and better graphics. Evidently that update wasn't quite what Sony wanted, so the company will roll out a complete redesign of the community this autumn to make it easier for folks to connect with desired content. The revamped Home lets users find games by exploring several themed districts (Action, Adventure, Sportswalk and Pier Park) with their digital doppelgängers. Sony's saying the changes will make PlayStation Home itself a game, so maybe it's time for Second Life to start shaking in its boots. Denizens of Sony's digital world can get more details in the PR below.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/24/sony-redesigns-playstation-home-makes-it-the-game-outside-the-g/

It’s a weird world we live in where a person has to explicitly say they’re not commenting on a rival’s device before they’re able to comment on a rival’s device.
Nonetheless, SCEE’s senior studio director Mick Hocking did exactly that when asked about the early struggles of the 3DS.
“So I wouldn't comment directly on 3DS,” he told GameSpot before continuing to do so. “But I think what we've seen over the last 12 months is a strong correlation between good-quality 3D content and great response from our fan base.
“The opposite is also true. When people see 3D that doesn't work very well, or content that isn't very compelling, I think quite naturally they're not as interested in it.”
Indeed, Hocking argues that 3D and portable gaming simply aren’t good bedfellows – hence the decision not to include the tech in PlayStation Vita.
“At the time we were looking at Vita, there were several issues. One was the quality of the glasses-free 3D screens,” he added. “It can work very well on small screens, but to get the best effect, you need to keep your head very, very still.
“Now with a handheld gaming device and Vita having Sixaxis motion control in it, there may be gameplay where you're moving the Vita around. And if you're doing that and having glasses-free 3D, the two things don't sit very well together. We wanted to offer a really, really high-resolution OLED screen, and the best way to do that was in 2D. At least for the first one.”

More zombie hordes are on their way to Home, but not before the service goes offline tomorrow for maintenance.
EU users won't be able to log into the service from 8am BST tomorrow, when it will go down for an unspecified duration. But once it comes back online, Sony says a zombie attack will be imminent.
"We have unconfirmed reports of a second wave of zombies ravaging the once peaceful island resort of Banoi this week as the undead virus continues to thrive," says the PS Blog. "It is as yet unknown how far the virus has spread throughout PlayStation Home and authorities advise stocking up on the weaponry now available at the local store before leaving the area."
Elsewhere in the update, you'll find a new Sodium-themed Silicon Lounge in the Lockwood Publishing store, new Alice Cooper items in the AAA store, paintball outfits and more.
Hit up the PS Blog (link below) for loads more info on that. But don't expect anything on Sony's EU plans for the Home overhaul it announced for US earlier this week. That update goes sadly unmentioned.

Are you one of the poor souls who upgraded to 6.60, before realizing you were stuck in a dark place that doesn’t allow you to run a Custom Firmware? Well you’re lucky, it’s rare that a downgrader is available that soon after an Official Firmware release. Some1 is at it again, and updated the 6.xx downgrader to support Firmware 6.60. So you can now downgrade from 6.60 to any firmware you want (provided your motherboard allow it, but don’t panic, the downgrader will let you know). Most users will probably want to downgrade to the closest firmware, 6.39, in order to install Pro CFW.It seems Davee, Proxima, and Zecoxao were also directly involved in this release, so many thanks to them for their continuous involvement in the PSP scene.
Was this release too early and a “waste” of a Kernel exploit considering the upcoming launch of the PSP Street? Only time will tell. In the meantime, you can download the Downgrader here.

News via http://wololo.net/wagic/2011/08/25/c...compatibility/
As I mentioned yesterday, developer VF was hard at work to port the kernel exploit used in some1′s downgrader into pro CFW, to give the CFW experience back to 6.60 users. Less than 2 weeks after the official Sony release, we have a compatible LCFW, I think the scene is breaking a record here.
So yeah, that’s it, you can safely update to 6.60 now, and install Pro CFW on it. 6.20, 6.35, and 6.39 users haven’t been forgotten, Pro CFW is still compatible with these firmwares, and adds a bunch of bug fixes, as well as my personal favorite: UMD video support on the PSP Go (obviously, we’re talking of iso images here…).

48000, 44100, 32000, 24000, 22050, 16000, 12000, 11050, 8000
and only MP3, WMAv2(only from *.wma files) and
AAC(except from *.aac files) are hardware accelerated.
Since FFMpeg supports a lot of container formats and codecs,
I do not have the time to test if all of it works correctly.
I have only tested the ff.: codec(file extension)
MP3(mp3, flv)
AAC(aac, mp4, m4a)
WMAv2(wma)
FLAC(flac)
signed 16bit PCM(wav)
For now, a black box is shown in place of the album art.
Album art will be shown in the next release.
Controls (temporary, will be changed and configurable soon)
OK and Cancel buttons are the same settings in XMB (X or O)
Main Menu:
Dpad Left = previous menu
Dpad Right = next menu
OK = select menu

Hey guys. Been meaning to post this for a while now!
As you may have seen my site retroemu.com is no more. As I now work full time developing IOS/Android apps and games I no longer have enough free time to develop PSP games/apps/ports.
I would like to thank you all for the kindness and support you showed me throughout the good times, like Wolf3D, Snes9x Euphoria and LuaPlayer Euphoria and if anyone wants to continue those feel free to do so. (Code is all available via google code)
Who knows, maybe when the PSVita is out and hacked I may get the urge to return, but as it stands I simply don't have enough time in the day to even contemplate PSP development.
So thanks again for everything and best wishes to all!
If you would like to follow my progress my site is : www.infuseddreams.com there is also a forum that is unfinished but usable www.infuseddreams.com/forums if you would like to pop in.
Thanks and farewell!

An entry into this years Neoflash Coding Contest, heres the full details:
HI GUYS! Last minute entry!
This is my game for the Neo Flash Coding Contest. It is called Spacial Warfare BETA.
I guess you can describe it as a sort of 3d Galaga (Not exactly).
What happens is, there is 3 levels of depth. You can maneuver up and down between these levels in your Space Ship. Enemies will fly at you and you must shoot them. If they touch you, then you lose 10 health. Once you have survived for 200 time then you will be tooken to the Shop. In the Shop you can buy either 5 mega Bullets, A string gun (It creates a string of bullets that are released when you stop holding the fire button), or an engine upgrade. I will be adding more upgrades as time progresses.
Button Map:
Dpad right-Move right
Dpad left-Move left
Dpad up-Go down a level
Dpad down-Go up a level
cross-Fire
L-Shoot mega Bullets (if you have some)
Screen Shots:
I don't have some. I have a good excuse though  .
I would like to mention that I programmed this game 100% in a van ride. It took me more then 20 hour of work (on programming alone). I was able to stay in a hotel though, in which i got this wifi connection that i am submitting this. Also I am on a cheap 2gb Flashdrive Netbook (EEE Pc 2g surf) So i can't really upload images and i am lucky to be able to upload my game O_o
ALSO I am VERY SORRY FOR NEOFLASH LOGO HAVE BAD QUALITY!!!! I can't help it!!! I am on this cheap netbook and i don't have a image editor. So i have to add it in the only way i can! as soon as i get access to another PC I will fix this and reupload it.

August 27th, 2011, 00:03 Posted By: wraggster
Sony's Jack Buser believes the redesign of PlayStation Home will kick-start the growth of free-to-play business models on consoles.
In an interview with IndustryGamers, the PlayStation Home director explained that many of the games planned for therevamped service will use the sort of monetisation methods commonly found on the web and social networks.
"Many of the games are free-to-play or freemium," he said. "You can beat the whole game if you want and never spend a dime, but we will sell weapon upgrades, armour upgrades, enhancements, etc., as a series of micro-transactions."
The advantage of Home is that it can also leverage the power of the PlayStation 3 hardware to offer more complex and immersive games than those normally associated with free-to-play.
"It's using the most cutting edge and creative business models that so many sessions at GDC are all about, while also giving a gameplay experience that's very much PlayStation - high definition, 3D, online multiplayer, action packed."
So far, Microsoft and Nintendo have failed to show enthusiasm for bringing free-to-play games to their consoles, and Buser sees Home as an opportunity for Sony to break new ground.
"I believe it's going to be viewed as a turning point in the industry where we finally started to see these business models from the web actually take hold on consoles," he said.
"It's a huge differentiator for the PlayStation 3. You could not build these types of games on other consoles because they don't have a platform like Home."
Home also offers a solution to the rising cost of development on console platforms. Buser claims that a team of 6 to 10 people can build a "full-on game that looks like a console game" using Lua programming language in around 6 months.
"And it's monetizing immediately," he adds.
"I'm a big games historian and read lots of books on game history. If you fast forward 10 years, it is my personal belief that games will look a lot more like what's going on in PlayStation Home than what they typically look like today."
Home currently has 23 million registered users. The redesign will launch this autumn.

In a startlingly honest admission, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has said he believes the PlayStation Vita has a better chance of succeeding in the market than Nintendo’s 3DS.
"I don't think [Vita] is in quite in the same boat as the 3DS,” he toldCVG. “The 3DS was a really interesting piece of technology but I think there was some confusion over it and the title slate was a little different.
"I think Vita has a better chance because it has a stronger title slate at launch. PSP's had a great run in Europe as a device, it seems to have reached a much larger audience here than it did in North America. So I think they've got a good shot.
“We're going to publish a few games on it and see how it develops."
Gibeau also remains impressed with the innovative tech Sony has built into its new device.
"Sony has got a shot because they have some really unique innovation in the control scheme, the technology and the screen,” he argued. “It's got a lot of social features now so that you can actually communicate with your friends and be social.
"You can't ring them up by putting the device up to your ear but in general I think they've got most of the capabilities that you'd find in a smart phone, with some unique capabilities that make them stand out."

We've got more info for you on the pair of Android tablets Sony plans to launch next year, as our source indicates the dual 5.5-inch screened clamshell, thus far codenamed the S2, will launch as the Sony Tablet P. Hardware specs include a weight of 370 grams -- less than the iPad 2's 601 grams, but more than say, aKyocera Echo at 193g -- 512Mb of RAM, 4GB of storage and a 2GB SD card, with connectivity over 4G or WiFi. Both the Tablet P and the Tablet S will share NVIDIA Tegra 2 processors and 0.3MP (not 3.0MP as we'd previously reported) front cameras, but the more conventional, WiFi-only Tablet Sweighs in at 600g, has 1GB of RAM and will be available in 16GB or 32GB versions. There's still no word on price or exact shipping dates but retailers have reportedly been told to expect more information soon, so stay tuned for further updates.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/26/sony-android-tablet-details-and-specs-continue-to-leak-s2-is/

 At this point, it'll be more difficult not to get a free copy of Resistance 3 with thePlayStation 3D Display than to do so. Walmart is throwing in Insomniac's alien-war game with pre-orders of the 3D monitor as well, mirroring offers from Amazon andGameStop.
Resistance 3 was originally the default pack-in with the 24" monitor, but it wasreplaced by MotorStorm: Apocalypse. That decision turned out to be for the best, as now retailers are throwing it in anyway, giving you two freebies instead of one.http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/26/walmart-includes-free-resistance-3-with-playstation-3d-display-p/

As promised, neur0ner gives us the new version of ME 6.60 CFW. The little jewels of our Japanese friend is intended only to PSP-compatible pandora (100X and 200X non-8C).
It still requires a compatible PSP CFW HEN or less than or equal to 6.39, however, install 6.60 OFW should delay since the feat of Davee 6.60 kernel is now released in the wild. For PSP CFW already in ME 6.60 This is an update to apply. The "PSP Compatible" which do not yet need CFW ME6.60 top of 'OFW 6.60 for the installation process. 's new / fixed: - Updating the recovery menu. - New frequency 166/83 for the CPU. Since version 1.1: - Update of version.txt, now the "fake version" is functional. - Update for the NidResolver FuSa_SD.prx.

For a portable game console, the PlayStation VITA, next jewelry SONY ranks at the top even if it is not yet available! For a multimedia platform, SONY ensures that VITA is a multimedia powerhouse with its online services as well as offline. What is missing now?? A bit of social networks and some instant messaging services, right? In this sense, the firm has let go Nipon some photos that illustrate the service Skype that will be proposed in the future with VITA.
From the photos, the service "Skype" for PS VITA is a little different from what we see on our PC. We see the first picture a colorful list of your friends connected, the Options Bar when it is put to right. Nothing on but it is quite possible that the touch screen of the VITA would enrich the experience well before the camera of course, wait & see! Note that Sony is not the first to implement Skype in its services, Microsoft has also done the same in the future SHIFT dashboard.

Sony has noted that play and chat on PS3 are incompatible.
Here are the explanations: Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, tells us that all available memory is swallowed up by the games during operation. To Thatcher in power games on PS3, the same game itself must allocate memory to system memory on its own chat at the risk of falling performance. One can understand that developers prefer to use the memory for other applications more interesting. One more thing promised for months that Sony will not see the day directly integrated into the dash console problem that has no PS Vita since it has 512MB RAM and 128MB of RAM V-cons 256MB of RAM and 256MB of video RAM for the PS3.

As promised there is more than a week, the Chinese developer PSP Virtious Flame has just launched a new version of its famous 6.xx. POPS Loader
The new version is for new CFW 6.60 (PRO and ME), it adds also firmware 6.60 POPS files from SONY.
The "POPS Loader" and for those who do not know, is an advanced PS1 emulation mode. This allows to choose other kernel versions different from that used by the CFW to emulate this or that PS1 Thurs. For example one can use the POPS Loader firmware 3.52 to emulate PS1 game when we have a CFW 6.39 PRO, PSX emulation is better on older firmwares 3.XX 5.XX.
new / fixed: - Added support for CFW PRO 6.60 - Added support files POPS 6.60 - Fixed some bugs

The Lavalit guys have released a [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]new [COLOR=blue !important]version[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] of their Beatem Up for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wiz, Wii, GP2x and Dingoo:
penBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]SEGA's[/COLOR][/COLOR] Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]The [COLOR=blue !important]game[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.
Available Platforms
----------------------
OpenBOR has a very modular and portable design inherited from Beats of Rage. Ports
to the following platforms are currently supported:
* Windows
* Linux
* Mac OS X
* Wii
* PSP
* Dreamcast
* GP2X
* GP2X Wiz
* Dingoo a320
In addition to the above, the original Beats of Rage engine (downloadable from
the Senile Team website) is available for the following platforms:
* DOS
* [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Playstation[/COLOR][/COLOR] 2
* Xbox
* GP32
* Palmtop

Game Categories Light v1.4 r3 is released. Game Categories Light is the successor to Game Categories Revised. It aims to provide a simple and well integrated category feature for 6.20 TN users, by applying the most hackish amount of patches this plugin ever had. It extends the original foldering feature (which is only capable of foldering everything by it's expiration date). A 'By Category' feature is introduced in to the options, and it is defaulted to whenever you enter the game menu. An 'Uncategorized' feature shows up for any uncategorized games/homebrew. As a nifty extra, it shows the type of game/homebrew it is, and it's current firmware limitations, as a subtitle.
Game Categories Light Features:
- Adds a new option called ‘By Category’ to your ‘Group Content’ menu.
- Adds the ‘By Category’ option in the Square-button cycling.
- Defaults to the ‘By Category’ option when you load the menu.
- Introduces a subtitle that shows the game type and firmware limits.
Game Categories Light v1.4 r3 Changelog:
[!]Fixed the bug where the theme menu colors were missing after displaying the categories contextual menu.
[!]Force the uncategorized content to be the last item by default.
[!]Fixed bug of uncategorized items appearing when cycling through OFW cats using square.
[+]Added Traditional-Chinese translation by Raiyou.

All this time, we've thought Walmart, Amazon, and GameStop were stickin' it to the man by offering Resistance 3 as a pre-order bonus for Sony's 3D PlayStation Display, even after the bug-hunt simulator had been officially replaced byMotorStorm: Apocalypse. It seems we were wrong.
As it turns out, this was Sony's plan the whole time, for some completely inexplicable and incomprehensible reason. While still not officially part of the actual bundle,Resistance 3 will be included with any 3D PlayStation Display pre-ordered before September 30. MotorStorm: Apocalypse's inclusion is not dependent upon pre-ordering, however, so you've still got until the launch in November to decide if the features offered can justify $500.http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/29/sony-officially-puts-resistance-3-back-in-ps3-3d-display-bundle/

Sony is holding steadfast to the game-centric "philosophy" it attached to PSP when it comes to selling new hardware PS Vita.
The platform holder dedicated a significant chunk of its GamesCom showcase in Germany this month to showing Vita's social networking functions and general connectivity - hinting at a change in strategy compared to its handheld predecessor.
However, speaking in the latest issue of Edge, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss Jim Ryan said that video games software was the priority for Vita - just as it had been with PSP.
"To the extent that PSP targeted the core gamer who was after a good gaming experience, the philosophy is basically the same," he said. "But I think the nature of [Vita] allows us to provide a differentiated gaming experience in a manner that the design of PSP simply did not allow."
He added: "The core principle is to provide the best portable gaming experience possible. It's as simple as that."
Ryan commented that PS Vita was seen at Sony as a "true digital device" - unlike PSP or PS2. "Where it ends up is going to be hard to tell at this stage," he admitted, "but it's of considerable interest to us."
PS Vita will be launched in Japan before the end of 2011, but won't hit the US or UK until early next year.

Gamers are still happy with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and EA would like to see the current generation of consoles last "a little longer".
 That's according to EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau, who in an interview with CVG questioned what Sony and Microsoft could be able to do with 'next-gen' hardware over current consoles.
Pointing to the publisher's stunning FPS contender Battlefield 3, the exec argued there's still horsepower left to squeeze out of PS3 and Xbox 360.
"It's hard for me to conceive what you would do on a PlayStation 4," Gibeau said. "The displays are already 1080p, you're already connected to the internet... You could make it faster, you could have more polys and you could up the graphics a little bit... but at what cost?
"It'll be interesting to see how [Sony and Microsoft] think about it in terms of the next generation but it seems to me that customers are happy, and we're happy to build games on [360 and PS3] right now."
He added: "The way the business used to run where you had these big console transitions just isn't happening anymore. They're much longer, the online capabilities are making the way customers interact within the audience very different from when we went from PSOne to PS2.
"I think that [the age of] big, abrupt change in consoles where we all pile in on top of each other and everything changes overnight is just gone."
 The exec, who showcased an impressive line-up including Mass Effect 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic and Battlefield 3 at Gamescom this month, claimed EA's happy with the "consistent" technology of current consoles.
"One of the things that we like is that the technology is consistent, and we believe that there are still things that you can do on these systems... we haven't quite squeezed the last once of hardware horsepower out of these things, as you can see with Battlefield 3.
"Frostbite 2 technology coming in can do some really interesting things that nobody is able to do, and you see some great stuff coming from our competitors too."
He added: "I'd like to see the cycle last a little longer. I don't see consumers right now banging on the walls for a new platform. They seem to be very happy with their PS3s and 360s. They love the online connectivity, they have great communities and great libraries.
"I like the fact that Nintendo's coming in with new hardware. That'll help really rev up their business for the HD side, which is where we're in a really good position."
In the same interview, the EA Labels president told CVG the publisher is looking to re-imagine and bring back "a couple" of classic franchises.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/316621/ea-what-would-playstation-4-even-do/

Four bleak days after Sony ad man Kevin Butler publicly resigned, Sony released a new video laying out its new ad campaign and reintroducing us to the VP of ... well,everything. "Long Live Play" is the new motto, replacing "It Only Does Everything" as the phrase we hear interwoven into press conference speeches and sizzle reels for the next year or so.
Always the showman, Butler kicks off the motto with a bang, as you'll see in the video above. On a personal note, allow us to welcome Mr. Butler back, who's always been the VP of our hearts.

The Lavalit guys have released a new of their Beatem Up for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wiz, Wii, GP2x and Dingoo:
penBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.
Available Platforms
----------------------
OpenBOR has a very modular and portable design inherited from Beats of Rage. Ports
to the following platforms are currently supported:
* Windows
* Linux
* Mac OS X
* Wii
* PSP
* Dreamcast
* GP2X
* GP2X Wiz
* Dingoo a320
In addition to the above, the original Beats of Rage engine (downloadable from
the Senile Team website) is available for the following platforms:
* DOS
* Playstation 2
* Xbox
* GP32
* Palmtop

DaedalusX64 is the best Nintendo 64 Emulator available exclusively for the PSP.

[!] Use QuickRead_Long for LDC1 (~24 ops)
Rev 365 - Salvy
[!] Revert previous commit, need to test further

Sony will launch a head-mounted 3D viewing display in Japan on November 11.
The HMZ-T1 allows the user to view both 2D and 3D content in high-definition, providing an experience similar to watching a 750-inch screen from a distance of 20 metres.
The "Head Mounted Display" contains one 0.7-inch OLED panel for each eye - both with a resolution of 1280x720 - and integrated 5.1 surround sound headphones. The headset must be tethered to a separate processing unit to function, which will feature a second HDMI port for a second headset or an external display.
Sony remains committed to pushing 3D as a home entertainment experience, despite growing doubtswithin the industry and the vocal opposition of senior figures like EA's John Riccitiello.
The HMZ-T1 is expected to be priced at ¥60,000 ($783 / £482). Sony hasn't announced plans to release the device outside of Japan.

There's a lot of buzz surrounding Sony's PS Vita at the moment, following the platform holder's impressive handheld showing at both E3 in June and Gamescom earlier this month.
 Yet even with a wealth of top software - alongside multimedia and social features aplenty - the UK and US markets won't be getting the system in stores until early next year.
Has the long wait put you off - or are you still raring to get your hands on the sexy combination of dual thumsticks, twin touchscreens and that giant OLED screen?
