Durka Durka Mahn has posted an excellent new cheat device for the game Star Wars: Renegade Squadron, heres the info:
Hey guys! Finally finished up my first version of the Cheat Device for Star Wars: Renegade Squadron.
This Cheat Device will allow you to change your weapons in-game without having to make new cheats over and over!
Each weapon slot has its own option on the menu and you just use Left and Right to change each option.
In the future I hope to add more Interactive Cheats, maybe a teleport function, and will definitely be adding more stuff as you guys find it. Credit will be given to anyone who's cheats I use in the Cheat Device.
Read the ReadMe.txt file for instructions on installation.
To bring up the menu, hit L+R+UP, to hide it, hit L+R+DOWN.
Thanks for reading and/or downloading!

So. Which of the three distributions [Xubuntu 7.10, Yellow Dog 5.0.1, openSUSE 10.3] above would I recommend? None of them. Not a single distro maintained a consistent, high-quality experience from installation to prolonged use. None of them is usable by your grandmother, or in most cases, by you. For the experienced Linux hacker, it's probably possible to beat some sense into these distributions (with Xubuntu probably closest to useful, when combined with the Petitboot boot loader used by openSUSE). But it's not a good choice - simply the least bad.
Considering the strides being made by desktop Linux on desktop x86 and x86-64 machines, it's immensely disappointing that so little time and effort has been spent on testing PS3 releases, when so much geek street-cred is up for grabs. When I first decided to write this article, I had high hopes for what it might reveal - after all, a lot of time has passed since PS3 Linux first appeared, and it seemed obvious to me that there would be a selection of tuned distributions to pick from, especially considering the high visibility of the PS3. But right now, typing this up on my x86-64 Linux desktop, I find myself preparing to retire PS3 Linux completely for another few months - at least until the next batch of distributions are released. And beyond initial curiosity value, I suggest you do the same.

New York-based importer National Console Support warns customers today that getting their hands on a Japanese version of the DualShock 3 might be tricky. It writes in its semi-daily news updates that offers from one overseas distributor has the following requirement: "In order to obtain 1 Dual Shock 3, we also have to buy 1 PlayStation 3 40GB console." That's a hefty tax.
NCSX urges caution to rumble-hungry games, warning them to wait until stock levels off or distributors offer more sane pricing schemes.

Like all of you, I've been a big fan of our new blog - but until now, I've been staying behind the scenes. I'm excited to share my first post here and thought that our new advertising campaign for the PS3 would be of interest to everyone. In fact, the campaign is scheduled to break this weekend in conjunction with the introduction of the new 40GB PS3 here in North America. But as a reward for being some of our most loyal fans, I wanted to get this out to all of you first.
Last year, we launched the PS3 with a campaign that become known as the "White Room" and we received a strong reaction to those ads for being provocative and demonstrating the PS3's power. With those technology messages now firmly embedded, we wanted to move beyond the "power" message with a more high-energy, entertainment driven focus for the PS3. The games are here, the price point is now $399 and we wanted to make the news loud and clear. But we need to deliver that in a way that befits the PlayStation brand. And so, beyond the brilliant HD games that the PS3 delivers, you'll also see a big focus behind the PS3's Blu-ray movie capability and, for the first time, you'll see a major focus behind the PLAYSTATION Network (did I mention online gaming is free on PS3??) and the exclusive gaming content available on the PLAYSTATION Store, as well as breakthrough services like Home. As Kim noted in her recent post, with so much brewing inside the PS3, the icons and characters of the PS3 world come to life in the vivid black onyx world of the PS3 and nearly burst out of its seams.

A New York Times report suggests Sony might consider selling its animation division to companies interested in expanding their work into the game business -- while SCE and Sony Online Entertainment are not part of any possible deal.
According to the report, Sony Pictures has hired investment bank Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin to assess two of its divisions. One is the Sony Pictures Imageworks, the 15-year-old studio which produces visual effects for movies, while the other would be a "no more than 50 percent stake" of the Sony Pictures Animation, the studio which produced movies such as the recent CGI family film Surf's Up.

The PSone games have fairly slow on the uptake, but Sony will gladly be stepping up the pace with the retro treats this month, with nine classics planned for November. Sweet.
G-Police is the one we're after, although there's plenty of awesome stuff on the way, including Crash 2 and 3, and Colony Wars.

Konami's stock has dropped following news that Metal Gear Solid 4 has been delayed until after the holiday season.
Bloomberg reported that Konami shares fell 200 Yen, or 5.9 per cent, to 3,190 Yen (approximately USD 27.74).
This was the largest decline for the company's stock in nearly four years.
"Investors were active sellers today because of disappointment over the delay," said analyst Hirotoshi Murakami. "It may be the company's strategy to boost earnings next fiscal year with the game software."
MGS4 was originally scheduled for release this winter, but has now been delayed.

Guinness World Records has officially recognised Sony's Folding@home program as the most powerful distributed computing network in the world.
As previously reported, Folding@home surpassed the one petaflop computer milestone in early September, counting both PC and PS3 users. PS3 users alone reached the petaflop mark on September 23.
"To have Folding@home recognized by Guinness World Records as the most powerful distributed computing network ever is a reflection of the extraordinary worldwide participation by gamers and consumers around the world and for that we are very grateful," said Vijay Pande, associate professor of chemistry at Stanford University and Folding@home project lead.
"Without them we would not be able to make the advancements we have made in our studies of several different diseases. But it is clear that none of this would be even remotely possible without the power of PS3, it has increased our research capabilities by leaps and bounds."
The Folding@home program leveraged only the distributed computing power of personal computers from around the world until March 2007, when the PlayStation 3 joined the program.
Currently, more than 670,000 unique PS3 users have registered with the Folding@home network.
SCE has said that it will continue to support distributed computing projects in a wide variety of academic fields such as medical and social sciences and environmental studies through the use of the PS3.

News/release from myersn024
Title: yaS^4 (yet another Stupid, SideScrolling Shooter)
Installation: unzip the rar file into GAME3xx folder. It was build for FW3.71 but it runs fine on my 3.52 M33-4 PSP. I haven't tested it on a slim, so any feedback from slim owners is appreciated.
How to play: Analog moves the ship around on the screen and X shoots. To exit either use HOME or press both trigger buttons at the same time.
To do:
1) add sound
2) add some animation and explosions
3) add high score saving
4) add burst fire and more weapons
5) add power-ups
6) possibly implement shields
7) touch up some of the sprite textures
8) increase difficulty based on score
9) whatever else comes to mind that I think will be cool...
If you have any suggestions or run into any bugs, pm me.

Hackers have already tampered with the code of Rockstar's Manhunt 2 to reinstate the violent scenes and images thought to have been removed from the game.
The PSP version of the controversial title has been exploited less than 24 hours since the game was officially released in North America.
The PlayStation 2 version of the game had already been distributed across the internet via torrent sites, a move that Rockstar has blamed on Sony Computer Entertainment.
The game has been censored in the US in order for it to receive an M rating – and therefore a release – rather than the original AO rating it was given by the ESRB.
The illegal exploit of the original PSP code indicates that the scenes that were cut in order to secure an M rating were not removed from the full game, rather disabled, much like the Hot Coffee mini-games in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Sony has decided to keep the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue demo on the Japanese PlayStation Store until the end of the month, instead of yanking it down on the 11th.
In hindsight, we should have followed its example and dragged this information out a bit, because there isn't all that much to say besides that and this is only covering four lines so far. Five.
Fortunately there are some new shots to go with the announcement, picked up on by Kotaku after it surfaced on Game Watch. So look at them.
To download the demo, you'll need to make a fake Japanese account, which obviously we have no idea how to do and is very naughty Google Google Google.
GT5 Prologue, which consists of 50 cars and five tracks in 1080p, is due out in Japan on 13th December in Blu-ray and PlayStation Network download format, and should arrive here at some point too. We'll keep you updated.

The FlatOut series will be making its debut on a handheld platform next year when FlatOut: Head On is released exclusively for PSP.
We were all about the rag doll physics-based stunt games in the Xbox version of the game. You had to launch your driver through the windscreen of your car at high speeds to hit a range of wacky targets - what's not to like about that?
These 'rag-doll Olympics' - as they're known among fans - will also be featured in full in the portable version.
A total of 40 cars and nine gameplay options (including Career, Carnage and Death Match Derby modes) will also be crammed onto the little UMD.
"Early 2008" is as specific as Empire could be with the release, but we've got the first screens below.

While we reported on the topic (with plenty of juicy details) last week, here's even more confirmation that the PS3 firmware 2.0 is soon on its way. Over on the official semi-official Sony blog Three Speech, when one commenter wondered about a time line for the 2.0 firmware, a Three Speech moderator replied:
News on that is coming tomorrow but it will be within the next two weeks!!
In other words, stay tuned for more info tomorrow (Nov 2) about an update that will probably hit within two weeks.

Sony has said we will get the European demo for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune before the end of November, although when exactly is still not decided.
It follows comments made by game director Amy Hennig on the official PlayStation blog that those of you across the pond will be able to download it next Thursday.
There is no word on what will be in the sampler just yet, but we expect it will be a mission or two from the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider hybrid that maybe involves thumping some baddies in the face and clambering around some mossy old ruins in a jungle. You may even shoot guns.

A trio of exclusive Uncharted videos have been sprinkled generously across the mighty Eurogamer Empire, capturing our early progress in Naughty Dog's anticipated PS3 adventure.
Introducing Nathan Drake as the new Indiana Jones of gaming (and nothing at all like a male Lara Croft, obviously), Uncharted marks the US developer's PlayStation 3 debut, having enjoyed huge success on PSone and PS2 with slavering, ginger maniac Crash Bandicoot, and platforming partners Jak & Daxter.
Of the three exclusive videos showing today, our very own Eurogamer TV offers a taster of Drake's acrobatic and ballistic skills, with a scramble through the jungle and firefight deep in the bowels of a temple.
Meanwhile, over on Eurogamer.de,having crashlanded in dangeorous territory, take a peek at some of the early-doors action scenes Drake will encounter in his hunt for the lost treasure of El Darado.
Last but not least, say a big "salut!" to our Gallic chums at Eurogamer.fr, who have a more cerebral video vignette, highlighting the Tomb Raider-style puzzles our hero must think his way out of to progress.
Uncharted will be raiding PS3's tomb from December 7th in Europe. Watch out for our full review soon.

Square Enix has confirmed that PSP versions of Final Fantasy I and II will both be making their way over here and indeed to all PAL territories for early 2008. Providing they save often and bring enough potions.
They've been out for a while in the US, as you may know. So long, in fact, that we've reviewed both. I got 6 and II got 4. So that's 10 overall! Woo!
One of the reasons our resident reviewers weren't that impressed with the remakes - despite their sexy polishing jobs - is that they weren't very good to start with, and that you can get both on one cartridge for GBA. Not that we liked that either.
Oh look, maybe your mileage will vary. "FINAL FANTASY and FINAL FANTASY II are the foundations of the Square Enix success story," said John Yamamoto, president and CEO of Square Enix Ltd. No need to shout. "They are the first two steps in the long and distinguished history of the FINAL FANTASY franchise." He's doing it again! "With these beautiful new versions, fans can now experience the origins of FINAL FANTASY wherever they go."
Providing they take a PSP, obviously, with which they can experience new dungeons, widescreen visuals, redrawn artwork and 10 out of 20 gameplay.

Thought PlayStation 2 hardware sales were going to quietly disappear after the revenue frenzy of Christmas? Think again – Sony is preparing to introduce a new, cut-price model of the console in early 2008.
MCV can exclusively reveal that this ‘compact’ PS2 will hit the US at just $99 in the New Year – a reduction of $30 from its current selling price of $129.
If a similar percentage cut is introduced in the UK, retailers can expect to sell the revamped system for just £75 – or maybe lower.
The new version has a built-in power supply – unlike the current Slim model – allowing the platform holder to manufacture it more economically and sell it at the bargain price.
The news will surely come as a blow to Sony rivals Nintendo and Microsoft, who have see sales of PS2 suffer somewhat due to the introduction of Wii and Xbox 360 in recent years.
PS2 this week celebrated its seventh anniversary, during which time it has sold over 120 million units worldwide. Yet this cut demonstrates Sony’s belief that the system’s market is far from exhausted.
Last month, publisher bosses from the likes of Eidos, Ubisoft and Atari suggested to MCV that a price cut on the console could massively reinvigorate its sales figures.
A Sony spokesperson refused to comment when contacted by MCV.

Something PS3 owners must be getting used to by now is waiting a little longer for games to come to their platform, but in Eternal Sonata's case, the extra wait means you'll get two more characters to play as, which is nice.
As an exclusive treat to PS3 owners, the characters Serenade and Prince Crescendo, who were non-playable characters in the 360 version, will be fully playable. These characters will bring with them new story sequences as well, according to Dengeki Online (via Kotaku).
That should add a little extra incentive to lure in Gamerpoint junkies who usually go for the 360 version, which is out now (and you can check out our review of that right here).
The PS3 version of the game is yet to get an official release date.

Sony Electronics President Stan Glasgow says Blu-ray player prices will likely not fall under $399 this holiday season.
"(The player will be) in the $399 range...I don't expect it to go much lower than that," Glasgow said today, according to TWICE Magazine.
Glasgow made his comment today following an announcement from Wal-Mart that it will sell the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player for $98 as a special pre "Black Friday" sale starting tomorrow.

Capcom blatantly knows we haven't had to deal with 40MB worth of screenshots in a while, so it's slapped a colossal collection of Devil May Cry screens into our inbox big enough to take up most of our afternoon in the uploading process. Thanks, Capcom.
The latest shots - if you haven't skipped our blurb and gone straight to the screenshot viewer already - show off a rather lovely jungle level for Nero to shoot and slash his way through.
It's out in February for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It should be wicked.

Get ready for a galactic adventure filled with explosive mayhem as the Ratchet &
Clank series makes its PS3 debut. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of
Destruction marks the beginning of a brand-new series of next-generation games
for the gadget-building hero, Ratchet, and his brainy robotic sidekick, Clank.
After saving countless planets from dreadful doom and earning intergalactic
celebrity status in the process, Ratchet and Clank have taken some welldeserved
R&R -- again. Yet, Ratchet remains restless. An orphan of the
universe, he has never known anything of his past, his family or his Lombax
origins. And no one can fill that void. Unfortunately for Ratchet, someone else
is equally interested in Ratchet's origins: Emperor Percival Tachyon. In his
thirst for revenge, the vile tyrant of an ancient race of foul insect-like monsters
called Cragmites has festered an age-old grudge and is bent on wiping the lastknown
Lombax off the universe!

ChillyWilly has released an update to his port of Doom to the PSP, heres the release info:
Here's my conversion of ADoomPPC, one of the better DOOM conversions (for the Amiga). It's got a simple, decent gui that runs before you start the game which allows you to set most of the major DOOM settings. On the Slim PSP, it supports TV out. This arc includes the source, two sets of MIDI instruments and the shareware WAD file. Up to date as of 2007/11/02.
v1.2 is up. Although I haven't been able to get my router to cooperate, networking should work in theory. The reason I'm posting now is I made the rendering almost twice as fast.

Weltall released a new revision of the PSP's Cheat Device. For those who don't know, CWCheat is a cheating device for PSP, supporting every game on the PSP and PSX.
Changelog:
- [ALL] increased priority from 0x64 to 0x32 to resolve the problems with "crash of the titans" which let cwcheat run it's thread only sometimes, making extremely difficult to call the cwcheat menu or other features.
- [POPS] fixed a check in the search for a difference in the cheat searcher to be proper in the pops build. Previously it blocked this function from working.
- [ALL] now the in game menu is cleared before going out from it.
- [ALL] Added a check to avoid entering the cheat mod menu if there are no cheats in the list
- [ALL] Major speed improvement in the fixed value search. A search for zero which took before 55 minutes now it takes just 10 minutes (550% faster)
- [ALL] Major speed improvement in the diff value search. A search for equal just after a first dump took before 1 hour and 50 minutes now it takes just 15 minutes (733% faster)
- [ALL] applied speed improvement changes also to the text search function but the improvement wasn't tested
- [ALL] Reduced prx size by about 500bytes from improvements in the search functions
- [ALL] Added a check for the user to release the SQUARE button while selecting found addresses, in this way it won't go directly to the disasm screen but let also check the memory editor (without using the cancel button)
Enjoy cheating.

I would appreciate if someone could upload it for me, I'm getting an error while doing it.

Dark_AleX released a full-screen patch for the PSP's Castlevania game, Dracula X Chronicles: SOTN. Here's what he has to say:
It is a patch to enable fullscreen in the Symphony of Night included in the game (note: only sotn, this doesn't patch Rondo of Blood).
It will replace the larger mode with the full screen one.
Instructions:
- Make an iso of the umd. (note: the iso must be decompressed, not cso, you can compress it after the patch if you want).
- run the program in the command line as "sotn_fs path_of_iso", and done, you can play SOTN at fullscreen.

Alot of people Have been having Problems With The manual method of patching manhunt 2, AND the .exe auto patcher that has recently been released, so now, i present to you, "ppf-o-matic"
this is an auto patcher for Manhunt 2 On the psp, which is guaranteed 100% to work on the FULL UNTOUCHED ISO.
Heres how to use it.
Download the .rar file i have attached, and extract "Manhunt auto patch(easy)" to your desktop.[there should be two files in that folder, "ppf-o-matic3" and "patch.PPF"
Put your ripped manhunt 2 iso in the same folder as the auto patcher
now, open up "ppf-o-matic", there should be two white boxes, "iso file" and "patch".
click the disket icon on the "iso file" box and browse over to where the manhunt 2 iso is and click open.
click the disket icon on the "patch" box and browse over to where the "patch.ppf" file is.
now click the icon which says "apply"
you should now have the uncensored version of manhunt 2, simple, easy, and hassle free.


You must own your own version of Manhunt 2, any discussion of how to get isos will lead to a ban.

That will possibly be the only major problem for devs for both consoles in the near future.
1). Lack of memory on the PS3.
2). Lack of storage space on the Xbox 360.
Watch out for that one. It will be here sooner than you think, if not already.
But everyone, just bear this in mind. The Xbox 360, for all the bagging it gets, is really quite a powerfull piece of kit. It has 3 seperate PPC cpus, which basically equates to 6 hardware threads. It has more memory to play with, a superior GPU, and superfast bus rate.
All the BS talked about GOW pushing the 360 is almost toss. Sorry. It was only running on two thread system. And even that engine was very buggy and "heavy" at the time. If not totally overated in its own right as well.
Honestly, if MS decided to put some form of a HD disc in it, Blu Ray or HD-DVD, the damn thing would be almost future proof, with the exception of the over heating, ofcourse.
Because, as it stands, the PS3 only has the storage space over the 360. Its not anymore "advanced" at all, and in many ways, slightly less.

Well, we didn't have to wait for anyone to crack open their PS3 to check, because Sony has squashed all rumors that the new $399 40GB PlayStation 3 SKU is featuring 65nm chips (shrunk from their 90nm standard). While we'll save you the copy and pasted rough auto translation, Sony essentially said that 65nm is not here yet but that they were working on it for the future.

I was browsing Amazon UK yesterday while the wife was decorating and come across what i thought was a print error, the TeckNet TYP-107 PSP Li-Polymer 3600mAh Rechargeable Battery for Sony PSP was on sale for a very low priced £2.99.
Now i would think its only for PSP Phats (original PSP) but considering the battery that comes with your system is a measly 1800mAh in power this is a big temptation.

Hold on to that PS2 (especially chose the 40 gigabyte PS3 model)! The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that Flight Plan and Banpresto, who previously teamed up for the Summon Night series, are working on an original strategy RPG for the aging system.
In Poison Pink, you play as three characters, Thazi, Olifen and Harshu. Each character has his own story, set in world of Beseku, which exists in that space between the real and demon worlds.
Gameplay seems to follow the convention of switching off between a home base and battle maps. When in your base, you build up your army, purchase new weapons, and take part in event scenes with your characters. Out on the battle field, action takes place on a grid, only the twist here is that enemy and ally movements are intermixed rather than player and enemy sides being given a full turn to move all their forces.
While out on the battle field, you can capture your enemies. Demons whom you've captured can be taken back to your base for customizations. You can add them to your army and even transform them into special items!
Poison Pink will be released to Japan in Spring 2008.

I just got back into some PSP Dev and picked up your EMU source. I implemented v1.5 kexploit support and fixed a bug around not having the umd device defined at all.
Lets hope a public release isnt too far away, to refresh the minds of those who remember this emulator and those who are new heres some more info on the emulator project.

News/release from deerwings:
I've been tweaking the keyboard page a little bit more, and now it has the ability to open pages in the current tab the keyboard is in, or work with the other two tabs without closing the keyboard tab as well. You can switch between tabs with Square + LTrig. At this time, I don't think I can make the keyboard pass text entered in the field to another input box on a different tab, especially considering that the PSP browser automatically opens the built-in OSK, which forces you to have to close it before returning to the browser. This is a current limitation to the PSP browser I cannot bypass at this time. It would require a re-write to the PSP browser itself, and I don't have those skills.
However! In accordance with other suggestions I'm looking into the potential of using Javascript to render pages, but I think that may be too costly memory-wise without the use of some kind of pre-renderer that would reduce the page sizes and still may not solve the text entry problem. This was outside the scope of this particular project in the first place anyhow.
Perhaps someone might code a completely new PSP browser (Other than Lynx) with completely custom entry methods?

StrmnNrmn has just released the 13th version of his N64 emulator. One of the new features is the long awaited savestate option! That's right, you'll be able to save your game at any given point. This'll certainly make the slower games more playable.
Many speed improvements have been added. I myself have tested Super Mario 64 and it's running full speed at some parts!
As for the full changelog:
[+] Savestate support.
[^] Improved dynarec load/store code generation to remove a branch and a couple of instructions.
[^] Dynarec now generates much better code for fragments which branch to themselves.
[^] Dynarec load/stores through the stack pointer are now much more efficient.
[^] Avoid invalidating the instruction cache where possible.
[^] Simplified CPU event handling, making it slightly more efficient.
It was certainly worth the wait! It’s like they say, good thing will come to those who wait

News/release from JasonUK:
This is a minimal ELF menu for Pandora.
Replace ms0:/kd/resurrection.elf on your magic memory stick with the one included in this archive, so the PSP loads it when you insert the Pandora battery & memory stick, and it shows a list of ELFs inside the ms0:/elf folder (it will give a warning and shutdown if the folder doesnt exist or there are no ELFs inside it)
Use D-Pad up/down to choose the ELF you want to run, and press X.
Hold HOME and press D-pad up/down to reload the menu if something goes wrong with the arrow, I have fixed as many problems as I could but it's still pretty bugged up. The handling code isn't perfect, but it should have no trouble displaying at least 20 apps.
LoadExec seems to have problems if the filename contains spaces or symbols, so use underscores(_) instead. These will be converted to spaces on the menu, so they look nicer.
Applications containing _SLIM or _FAT at the end of the filename (e.g. blah_SLIM.elf) will be greyed out if the menu is not running on that model.
For example, keyCleaner_FAT.elf will be greyed out and unselectable on a Slim PSP.
If the ELF fails to run, the screen usually flickers and remains on the ELF menu.
Note: you must use ELFs with this, EBOOT.PBP files are likely to fail (Use PBPUnpacker to extract DATA.PSP from whatever EBOOT you want to run, and rename it to whatever.elf)
Finally, there is a Shutdown option at the bottom.
CHANGELOG:
0.1a -> 0.2
- Applications containing _SLIM or _FAT at the end of the filename (e.g. blah_SLIM.elf) will be greyed out if the menu is not running on that model.
e.g. keyCleaner_FAT.elf will be greyed out and unselectable on a Slim PSP.
- Minor bug fixes

Following reports that hackers were able to reinstate violence censored from the PSP version of Manhunt 2, the ESRB issued a statement defending its "M" rating.
"Our investigation indicates that the game's publisher disclosed to the ESRB all pertinent content in the authorized Mature-rated version of Manhunt 2 now available in stores, and complied with our guidelines on full disclosure of content," the statement read.
While noting that unauthorised versions of the game have been released on the Internet along with instructions on how to modify the code to remove the special effects filters that obscured certain violent depictions, the ESRB stated that it did not believe such modifications "fully restore the product to the version that originally received an AO rating, nor is this a matter of unlocking content."
"Manhunt 2's rating makes it unmistakable that the game is intended for an older audience. The unauthorized hacking into the code of this game doesn’t change that basic fact," said ESRB president Patricia Vance.
The ratings bureau made it clear that computer software and hardware devices are susceptible to unauthorised modification, and therefore game content could be changed in ways inconsistent with the assigned ESRB rating. Vance urged parents to monitor what their children are downloading to ensure that they are not removing the controls "put in place for their own protection."
In a conference call, Vance was asked how the latest situation differed from the "Hot Coffee" incident, in which hackers were able to unlock adult content on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas game. In that case, the ESRB re-rated the game AO (Adults Only), causing retailers to pull it from the shelves before Rockstar released a cleaned-up version.
Vance indicated that the "Hot Coffee" incident differed in that the GTA: San Andreas content was unmodified and merely unlocked, was not disclosed to the ESRB during the ratings process, and was easily accessible to owners of the PC version.
She was also asked about a situation involving The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, in which the ESRB re-rated the game after discovering previously undisclosed blood and gore in the game, not to mention topless art present on the disc that was not disclosed during the rating process.
In the case of Manhunt 2, the content in question had previously been disclosed to the ESRB, the content is being modified rather than being unlocked, and it requires unauthorised versions of software and/or hardware to play the modified content.
The ESRB is therefore standing by its M rating.

Game Republic has popped a website up for its new PlayStation Network title Dark Mist.
It is an action shooter title where you play as light warrior Altemis and try to stop a demon king having his wicked way. As you do.
According to a translation of the Japanese website by IGN there will be Sixaxis-shaking sections to clear enemies in close-quarters, but otherwise you will use a standard light arrow attack to do away with baddies or use a big bomb when things get a bit hairy and you want a breather.
Special attacks should also help you out a bit, and come in Split Star, Meteor Flare and Lightning forms.
It is due for release on 8th November in Japan for JPY 800 (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80). We are currently waiting to hear back from Sony Europe about plans for the game here.
Pop over to the Dark Mist website for a look at some minuscule screenshots.

Good news tin fans - Capcom sends word that a three-disc Devil May Cry 4 Collector's Edition will be in the shops in time for release for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The $79.99 (£38) tined edition comes complete with documentary-packed bonus DVD and the first volume of the Devil May Cry animated series (four episodes, apparently) which we've got an inkling might be a bit rubbish, but who knows.
The bonus DVD includes a making of feature, soundtrack extracts, a digital art book, wallpapers, icons and screen savers for your PC. Lovely.
It's out in North America on February 5. There's currently no word on a European release but we've left a message with Capcom asking about one. Lost Planet's tin made it over here, so we're feeling optimistic.

Zora has posted a new game which reminds me of the old Donkey Kong game on the Nes, heres the release newspost:
I'm glad to present to you Funky Kong!!!
Funky Kong is based off the classic barrel-jumping-hammer-bashing arcade game, Donkey-Kong!
Except, Funky Kong is a side-scroller unlike the original game. This time around, you'll
have to hurry and make it to the top, but by avoiding any possible danger. That includes;
Falling Barrels, Spinning Barrels, Flame Enemies, Flaming Barrels and finish off by a
boss battle after a level.
So far, the game is in beta form. It is still very buggy, but is playable.
Many elements of wich I wanted to include are in there, but more will come after the first
official release.
Some of the things of wich I plan to include in the future are:
Switches, Boss', Life system, time limit, and perhaps a password program to resume a level.

Empire has revealed that International Cricket Captain III will be heading to PS2 and PSP on 16th November.
It is the first time the sports management series has appeared on lounge-dwelling machines, and each will come with some unique bits and pieces.
The PS2 version will have new 3D highlights that will apparently be very similar to watching the game on the telly, while the PSP offering will focus on shorter matches like Twenty20 with Wi-Fi multiplayer.
International Cricket Captain III came out on PC in July and brought with it lots of fancy new bits like a better game engine, more motion-captured action, Ball Tracker to imitate telly-style replays, and commentary from sort of famous person Jonathan Agnew.
It will also have all the right player and team data so you can pretend your are England touring Sri Lanka or Ian Botham on the Shredded Wheat advert walking around and talking about his heart.
Pop over to the official International Cricket Captain website to get excited.

Uberjack has posted a new release of his MSX emulator for the PSP, heres the release details and more info from the coder himself:
Version 3.4.5 of fMSX is out - it addresses most of the features mentioned in the Future of fMSX post. Here’s the complete list of changes:
MSXMUSIC and MSXAUDIO emulation can now be toggled on and off at any time
FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) controller activity indicator - displays an icon whenever the virtual floppy drive is busy
Optional hi-resolution renderer for screen modes 6, 7 and text-80
While MSXAUDIO and MSXMUSIC emulation speed is not perfect, it is significantly more improved than with the earlier versions - with only one of the two enabled, the emulator can still run at full speed (at 333MHz with V-Sync disabled). Since most MSX programs do not use either, keep the two turned off, enabling one or the other when necessary. Note that to initialize the sound emulation engine, fMSX PSP will take longer to start up if either is enabled.
As mentioned in the previous post, high-resolution engine is now available, but its use is discouraged - emulation is slower, visual improvements are marginal. Emulation is also slightly inaccurate - the solid-color 8-pixel wide borders to the sides of the image will not be rendered in high-resolution mode due to image constraints. There’s more discussion in documentation, if you’re interested.

Sony has officially deployed the 1.1 patch for PeacePigeon aka WarHawk, and this time it actually meant to release it and everything. Game director Dylan Jobe describes it as "a fast download", which will zap its way down your Interpipes when you next fire up WarHawk.
But what does it do, I hear you ask? It addresses "critical issues with stats and connectivity". Specifically, "stat connection, fetch/post fixes; significantly improved client connection stability; quad '????' ping display bug fixed; added support for Player-Ranked Servers; game synchronisation fixes due to fluctuating network conditions (packet-drop); crash fixes for end of game and split screen".
But wait, that sounds boring! Fortunately, Jobe and his Incog pals are also working on a 1.2 patch that introduces new layouts for existing maps, clan and Buddy list options for servers and other interesting tweaks.
For more on WarHawk, check out our WarHawk gamepage. It's available now as a PSN download or in the shops on a disc with a manual and a headset.

ChillyWilly has released a new version of his port of Doom for the PSP which also includes the shareware files so no need to buy your own copy if you dont own it already, full details follow:
Here's my conversion of ADoomPPC, one of the better DOOM conversions (for the Amiga). It's got a simple, decent gui that runs before you start the game which allows you to set most of the major DOOM settings. On the Slim PSP, it supports TV out. This arc includes the source, two sets of MIDI instruments and the shareware WAD file.
v1.3 is up! Networking finally works; you can also play against
compatible PC/Mac/Amiga versions of DOOM. The GUI has been revamped to
make it easier to set up and play a network game. You can now set the
starting level and skill.

Tales of Phantasia for the Playstation is almost here, guys, in English. After 2 months of work, we are proud to announce to you that the translation completion has passed the halfway mark. In other words, we have all of the Present, about half of the Past, and more than half of the Future completely translated. The hacking itself is complete and only a few bug fixes and some layout reworks remain for the in-game menus. As we’ve repeatedly stated, this patch will be fully compatible with real hardware on its first release, like my SOTN Italian translation was.

StrmnNrmn has updated his blog since his latest R13 release of his magnificant Nintendo 64 Emulator. Seems like he wants us the fans to create some icons and backgrounds for his emulator as a competition, check it out!
"Monday, November 05, 2007
Icons for Daedalus
I've never taken the time to add icons to the Daedalus EBOOT.PBP. Mostly it's just because I've been lazy (when I develop Daedalus I usually run it through psplink rather than the XMB, so I rarely see the frontend), but also because I've never found a suitable set of icons to use.
There are plenty of icon/background packs floating around for Daedalus, but I've been reluctant to use any of them; I need something that I can freely distribute, but also something that doesn't infringe on any trademarks.
I'd like to add icons and a background to Daedalus for the next release, so I'm opening a 'competition' to try and find the best design. The 'prize' will be full credit in the release notes and on the Daedalus About screen (including a link to your website if you wish). Here's what I'm looking for:
Background 480x272, preferably in .png format
Icon 134*74, preferably in .png format
No use of Nintendo's trademarks! This means no use of the "N64" or "Nintendo" logos. Sorry. Be inventive!
You must own the work you submit, and give me permission to use it with Daedalus PSP
Email your submissions to me (strmnnrmn@gmail.com). I'll post all the submissions I receive by 16th November on this site to get people's thoughts, and make a decision the following Monday (19th November - that's two weeks today!)
Of course if you don't like whatever decision I make, you're always welcome to repack the Daedalus EBOOT.PBP and use any of the other graphics people send in
Time to get mspaint fired up!
-StrmnNrmn"
One thing I think he forgot was the creativity of music in the background of the emulator during viewing from the XMB. Personally I use the green icons from PochiStyle and have Diddy Kong Racing's music theme as the music. Well this looks to be a great new addition for style for R14, hoepfully we'll get some great results!

New PSP Color Looks Like a Shade of Red Lipstick
via Gizmodo

The limited edition Deep Red PSP you're gawking at launches in Japan next month in two flavors—one with the 1seg digital TV tuner, one without. The 1seg bundle also comes with a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo and a stand, while the standard box has a 32MB stick and is standless. No word on whether this bloody hue will hit stateside.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that it will be introducing a new model PlayStation 2 to the market in the new year.
Already scheduled for release in Japan later this month, the new model comes with an integrated power supply and is lighter due to revised internal architecture.
The redesigned unit will come in three colours – Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver, with matching vertical stands sold separately.
Despite rumours, the new unit will not be any cheaper in Japan than the current model, retailing for JPY 16,000, and it looks likely the same business model will apply in the European market.
Last month Sony celebrated the seventh birthday of the 120 million-selling console, revealing that more than a billion units of software had been sold for the machine since it launched in 2000.
The PlayStation 2 currently has a recommended retail price of GBP 94.99 / EUR 129.99 in Europe.

Sony is to release a new model PlayStation 2 in Japan, with an integrated power supply and cosmetic changes.
Released on November 22, SCEJ claims the new model is lighter due to an overhaul of the design architecture. It will also feature a built-in AC adaptor.
Despite rumours, the system will not benefit from a price cut this year, as it will still retail for JPY 16,000 (EUR 96).
The eight-year-old system will have a cosmetic makeover, coming in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver, with peripherals to match.

Time Crisis 4 has been in development for a while, yet we know little about it. What we do know is that it'll let you move your character as well as shoot, and these are the first images of the gun that'll make it all work.
Satsukawa explains the intricacies of designing a lightgun shooter of this type. "The Time Crisis team has been eager to implement a solution for moving and shooting to the series for years now - our development tools allow us to do this in early builds of games - but it was too difficult to implement this feature into a full game using only the Guncon 2 controller," he said.
So now he's making a new gun. "With our next title planned for the PS3 system, we began work on our next iteration of the Guncon hardware to bring new functionality to the series and allow us to implement our goals for a free-roaming Time Crisis experience," he added.
Below is a sketch of the initial ideas for a Guncon that could allow for Satsukawa to realise his aim. "We asked our designer to come up with a few illustrations showing a Guncon with one analog stick. After getting the results, we realized that this was going to be a more intimidating project than we had planned."
Protoype software was also made, as Satsukawa explains: "We worked for a month to create a prototype based on the Time Crisis 3 engine in which two players can move freely around a small square environment and try to shoot each other. ... Even though this early prototype only allowed for horizontal aiming, we felt confident enough in the design to move forward with the full game."
He concludes: "As we understood that we would have to implement vertical aiming in our game, we decided to revise our Guncon hardware designs to meet this goal. That was the real jumping-off point for Time Crisis 4, which I will cover in-depth soon in my next entry!"
We're interested to know if the Guncon will overcome the obstacle of working on LCD TVs (which old lightgun techniques won't work with) with a sensor bar like Wii (which doesn't simulate accurate aiming) or another way.

Jason UK has released a new version of his Elf menu for Pandora, heres the release details and info:
This is a minimal ELF menu for Pandora.
Replace ms0:/kd/resurrection.elf on your magic memory stick with the one included in this archive, so the PSP loads it when you insert the Pandora battery & memory stick, and it shows a list of ELFs inside the ms0:/elf folder (it will give a warning and shutdown if the folder doesnt exist or there are no ELFs inside it)
Use D-Pad up/down to choose the ELF you want to run, and press X.
Hold HOME and press D-pad up/down to reload the menu if something goes wrong with the arrow, I have fixed as many problems as I could but it's still pretty bugged up. The handling code isn't perfect, but it should have no trouble displaying at least 20 apps.
LoadExec seems to have problems if the filename contains spaces or symbols, so use underscores(_) instead. These will be converted to spaces on the menu, so they look nicer.
Applications containing _SLIM or _FAT at the end of the filename (e.g. blah_SLIM.elf) will be greyed out if the menu is not running on that model.
For example, keyCleaner_FAT.elf will be greyed out and unselectable on a Slim PSP.
If the ELF fails to run, the screen usually flickers and remains on the ELF menu.
Note: you must use ELFs with this, EBOOT.PBP files are likely to fail (Use PBPUnpacker to extract DATA.PSP from whatever EBOOT you want to run, and rename it to whatever.elf)
Finally, there is a Shutdown option at the bottom.
CHANGELOG:
0.2 -> 0.2a
- Fully detects motherboard revision based on Tachyon and Baryon numbers (hardware revision info)
- Increases screen brightness to 80% (only on the fat PSP).
- Battery info in the top right corner

Via PSP Hacks
A new custom firmware for Fat/Slim PSPs! Based on the original developments by Dark_AleX & Team M33 has been released, the coder is _ HellDashX_’s and called 3.72 HX.
Judging by Google’s poor translation of Spanish to English, there isn’t much new… Other than the fact it uses Sony’s latest 3.72 kernel. If you decide to upgrade, it’s likely some 3rd party PRX modules may stop working. Also, you’ll lose 1.50 kernel capabilities until a new patch is released.
Installation:
Download the update package below;
Download the 3.72 firmware update EBOOT;
Rename EBOOT.PBP from the 3.72 update to 372.PBP;
Copy 372.PBP, EBOOT.PBP (from the 3.72 HX package), and umodule.prx to PSP/GAME/UPDATE on your memory stick;
Launch the updater from the XMB;
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Perhaps someone will provide a properly translated version of the readme, soon…

Firstly heres the details on the Memory Card:

Like many of the Neo-Geo fighting crop (Samurai Showdown not included), the World Heroes series has some mixed reactions in this day and age. For example, its Virtual Console debut got a less than favorable mark from resident retro expert Jeremy Parish.
Nevertheless, SNK Playmore announced today that a compilation would be coming our way entitled World Heroes Anthology, the American counterpart to the recently released Japanese World Heroes Gorgeous. Why would they change that name?
At any rate, the collection includes World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet, and World Heroes Perfect, and it will be available in spring of 2008. No price has been slated for the anthology as of yet; but at $9 a pop for Neo-Geo games on Wii, a budget price of $40 for the disc seems comparable.

FIRMWARE VERSION 2.00 - OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Latest PLAYSTATION®3 System Software Update Allows PSP™ to Turn PS3™ On and Off from Internet Connection for Enhanced Remote Play
Ability to customise XMB™ and add personalised playlists for both music and photos also enabled
London, 8 November 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today the availability of the latest version of the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) system software. Version 2.00 features the ability to turn a PS3 system on and off remotely, using a PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system via the Remote Play function, allowing for a truly mobile partnership between the two systems.
Building on the success and potential of the Remote Play functionality, Version 2.00 will cement the partnership between PS3 and PSP and create a truly global experience. With the ability to turn your PS3 on and off from Wi-fi connection, there is now the opportunity to listen to the music, look at the photos and watch the videos saved on the PS3 Hard Disk Drive, anywhere in the world.
To further enhance the PS3 offering, Version 2.00 allows for the creation of personalised playlists in both the music and photo sections. This simple to use function gives users an opportunity to create unlimited music playlists for all occasions, as well as sharing favourite photos in glorious high definition.
Continuing with the idea of a personalised PS3, Version 2.00 allows for customisation of the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) menu screen. Change the colour and brightness with the greatest of ease or have something completely different by setting a custom theme. With the potential for new backgrounds to become available on PLAYSTATION®Network in the future, Version 2.00 truly opens up a whole raft of options.
A host of other enhancements includes the addition of an Information Board on XMB to keep people up to date on the latest PlayStation® news, the inclusion of a new PLAYSTATION Network category and logo for easier navigation and Trend Micro Web Security, a free2, state of the art internet security system, designed to give parents peace of mind.

Sony has revealed that its Santa Monica studio is currently working on God of War III for the PlayStation 3.
The company also confirmed that God of War director Cory Barlog is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities.
The God of War franchise has become a fan-favourite since its release on the PlayStation 2 in 2005.
"We can confirm that Cory Barlog, game director for God of War II, is leaving the SCEA SM Studios and we are grateful for his work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise," said a spokesperson for Sony, speaking to consumer site 1UP.
"Moving forward, we are confident in the God of War team, as they are an extremely talented group of people that are passionate about the franchise and dedicated to creating even more epic content with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and God of War III for PS3."
The next release in the action-adventure franchise will be the PSP game, due for release in March 2008.

Sony Europe has said it will sprinkle Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online onto the PlayStation Network tomorrow.
This, you may remember - like falling off a swing - adds an online versus mode, online rankings, a practice mode and a survival mode.
It will cost you GBP 14.99 if you buy it all in one, but if you listen to our Dickensian (as in David, not Charles) advice you could make a saving.
Buy the original Dark Resurrection PSN title for GBP 6.99 and add the Online Component for GBP 3.49 and you keep four-and-a-half quid to spend on an expensive pint of Belgian beer or flowers if you are Pat.
To enjoy this amazing bargain, however, you will need to buy the original Dark Resurrection game right now as in today, because come tomorrow it will be gone.

Strauss Zelnick, chairman of Take 2, has refused to narrow down a release period for Grand Theft Auto IV, saying the publisher won't commit until it's "utterly convinced" the game is ready.
Most recently the publisher has said the title will be released in Q1 of 2008 – between February 1 and April 30 – following a delay that saw the game moved from its initial release of October 2007.
"It's a fair question given that we weren't able to stick to our firm date the last time. We're going to give a firm date when we are utterly convinced that we have it and that isn't right now," said Zelnick during a BMO Capital Markets conference yesterday.
"We know it's highly anticipated. Right now our view is to put out a high quality title and we're not in the business of disappointing investors."
Zelnick said that any concerns that the initial delay had caused it to miss the Christmas sales period have been alleviated, as GTA IV is a "must-have" title, able to take advantage of a bigger installed base of consoles in the New Year.
"I think there was a concern initially when we slipped that we missed the boat in terms of Christmas but I think that concern has been alleviated.
"I think most people see it as okay – hardware penetration is going to grow over Christmas and because this is a must-have title it's probably okay that we're not selling it in the Christmas season," he said.
Zelnick also said that the exclusive downloadable content for Gran Theft Auto IV would not play a very significant role in generating revenue for the company in 2008, but it was a business model the publisher is keen to pursue in the future.
"It actually isn't really significant in terms of its contribution in 2008," he offered.
"It's something we ought to be doing and my guess is that's where the industry is going. If you believe over time that package goods will be supplemented very much with online downloadable content, and you believe as I do that the future of playing interactive entertainment is networked multiplayer, then there's every reason to believe that downloadable content makes all kinds of sense.
"And eventually if you have a packaged good and you sell upgrades it's a pretty terrific business model for everyone. I think it could be really interesting, but to be clear, it's not in our plans and we're not relying on it for our success," he concluded.

October 31, 2007 was the official end of the "grace period" for Blu-ray manufacturers, after which all players released must comply with the latest standard--Blu-ray Profile 1.1 (also known as Final Standard Profile and BD-Video Profile 1.1). Of course, that doesn't mean Profile 1.0 Blu-ray players still can't be sold, and if you walk into your local electronics store over the next few months, you're likely to see both Profile 1.0 and Profile 1.1 Blu-ray players on the shelf. So what's the big difference between Profile 1.0 and Profile 1.1?
Profile 1.0 vs. 1.1
There are several different hardware requirements, but it basically boils down to picture-in-picture functionality. All Blu-ray players up until this point have been Profile 1.0 and have lacked the secondary video and audio decoders necessary to play a smaller video in the corner while also playing the main high-def movie in the background. With the notable exception of the PlayStation 3, Profile 1.0 players cannot be upgraded via firmware to become Profile 1.1 players.

According to many highly credible sources who have already gotten their hands on both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Call of Duty 4, the news is that they are nearly identical.
Many gamers were worried that Call of Duty 4 would not run as well on the PS3 as on the Xbox 360. A lot of this was due to fears learned from the past with EA Sports games having framerate problems, games such as Madden NFL 2008.
PS3 owners have no fear though as yesterday PCN was able to confirm that Call of Duty 4 will run on 1080p on the PS3.

If you were too busy playing Guitar Hero in your underwear on Monday, you may have missed the announcement that tonight's episode of South Park will feature the rhythm game prominently in the storyline. For those of you who just can't wait those last few hours, a Comedy Central press release reveals some more details about the impending rift between Stan and Kyle, and a short video preview shows the pair looking like total goobers while trying to look cool playing the game.
In fact, the false cockiness brought on by Guitar Hero was a major motivation for the production team. On his South Park Studios Production blog, Production Assistant Mike McMahan asks us to imagine "some jerk trying to impress the ladies with his badass skills banging out Coldplay as hard as he can." By playing Guitar Hero, McMahan says, "We're even worse than that loser, because we're pretending to be him, all the while tapping our feet and clicking our fingers with the same proud idiocy that the real-life jerk performs with." On behalf of all those proud idiots, we have just one thing to say to that ... Ouch!
We'll be liveblogging the episode right here on this very site, so come back here around 10 PM EST if you'd like some nerdy game discussion with your animated prime time TV.

A couple of people have asked about the icon size. 134x74 or 140x80 are both fine.
Thanks for all the entries so far - there have been some really great ones. Keep them coming!

The Pad plugin has been updated, heres whats new
Open the champagne !!!
I've here a new pad plugin I wrote. It's MegaPad and it uses SDL. No worry, the latest actual version of the SDL (1.2.12) is provided.
This plugin offers, as LilyPad, a complete pad support, many possibilities, but is much simpler than LilyPad.
First place SDL.dll in the root PCSX2 folder (not the plugins folder), else the plugin won't start.
1. Mapping and config
After having selected MegaPad in the Pad plugins list and launched its GUI by clicking the
Config button, you must configure it. You can select the Pad 1 or the Pad 2 with the
buttons in the top-left corner of the window. For mapping press any of the 20 buttons.
The pressed button will become grayed. Then you can do various things :
a. Keyboard
For the buttons press a key and the selected button will be bound to the pressed key. Pressing
Escape or Backspace allows you to delete a value. For the axes press any key with old versions, or click right button whth new versions, and the selected
axis will be bound to the mouse. Note that if the axes of the 2 players are bound to the mouse,
they will move simultaneously.
b. Joystick
For the buttons press a button, a POV hat in the wanted direction or move an axis in the wanted
direction and it will be bound to the selected button. Note that if you bind an axis to a
pressure-sensitive button*, the pressure will match the value of the axis. Try this feature in
games which need pressure sensitive buttons. For the axes move an axis and it will be bound to
the selected axis. Warning : the GUI has a little difficulty to detect the moves of the vertical
(y) axes, but there is no problem in the games.
c. Misc
There are 4 general options under the mapping buttons.
1. Axis sensitivity : can be 3 values (affect the GUI as the games). This is the sensitivity of the
plugin to axis moves.
-Very sensible : for precision games or low-sensibility axes.
-Normal : default, I recommend you to use it.
-Low sensibility : use it if your axes are very sensible.
2. Enable logging : This enables a pad log stored in logs\megapad_log.txt, which can be used only for
debugging purposes. As mentionned, this logging makes the emu slower.
3. Always show cursor : Use it with ZeroGS if you use the mouse, to see where is the cursor.
4. Low-visibility cross cursor : The arrow cursor is replaced by a low-visibility cross cursor.
Use it if you don't want to see the arrow cursor.
Then click OK.
2. Emu
I think I don't need to detail how to use the keyboard or the joysticks, but I will tell you how does
the mouse support work.
Press the left button for left axis, the right button for right axis. When you release a button, the
corresponding axis will be "centered". When you press a button the cursor is automatically centered.
Move it as an analog axis. When a button is pressed the cursor cannot get out the GS window. The
mouse support has been seriously improved in the new version, axis positions are calculated from
the size of the GS window, so it works better than PadWinKeyb mouse support.
If you encounter any bug using this plugin tell it to me.
Version 1.3.0
F keys work now, thanks RpgWizard for signaling me this bug, the GUI does not allow you to bind them to any control, and if the input detection loop detects that a F key has been pressed it directly returns.

I was messing around with my Flash0 after installing 3.72 HX firmware on one of my PSP. Since I read it's basically the same as 3.71 M33 I was very trusted. I ended making the 3.72 HX firmware to run 1.50 kernel'ed applications. So here's a tutorial how to make it.
Warning - You need to manage the Flash0 manually, be extremely careful -Warning
You need files from the Flash0 of 3.71 M33 firmware. Make a back-up before installing the 3.72 HX
Creating Flash0's back-up:
1. Go to the Recovery Menu
2. Select Advance
3. Connect your PSP to your PC using a USB Cable
4. Toggle Flash 0
5. Copy the folders to your PC
Install 3.72 HX-1 Firmware
Flashing your folders on 3.72 HX:
1. Go to Recovery Menu
2. Select Advance
3. Toggle Flash 0
4. Copy the folder /km to the root of the Flash0
5. Copy the file reboot150.prx to /kd/
Good luck! :thumbup:

Next Generation has up a feature on the rising fortunes of Sony's PSP. Overlooked for quite some time now as the DS dominates the headlines, the article argues that the handheld console still has a lot to offer ... and people are starting to notice.
"Sony has always commanded strong third-party support for its systems since the success of the original PlayStation, and [senior PSP marketing manager John Koller] believes that PSP developers are similarly finding ways to get creative and present fun titles. 'Upcoming launches such as God of War: Chains of Olympus from a first-party perspective, and Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron from LucasArts, are certainly good examples of fantastic franchises made unique on the PSP,' he says. 'It's clear that consumers do not want the same game on their PSP that they play on console.'"

New from Play Asia

Shin Sangoku Musou 5 (aka. Dynasty Warriors 6) is Koei's latest installment in their popular hack and slash series. Shin Sangoku Musou 5 is said to greatly vary from past games in the series as players are now able to make their character swim, climb, control rowboats, destroy walls, and be able to pull off "unlimited combos" with the use of the new "renbu" system.
Dueling from Shin Sangoku Musou 3 is set to return, but this go-around is quite different from the earlier installment. Duels take place on the battlefield and the nearby soldiers will circle around the two fighters, instead of the duel being on a random plain that was not there seconds before. The A.I. has also be enhanced: enemies are now able to adapt to the players actions, i.e. if the player continually attacks enemies from behind, they will adapt to this and attempt to avoid the player's attacks.
Wild animals such as wolves and tigers are also in the game, and can attack the character or on some occasions, become allies. Sneak attacks and ambushes have been implemented, as well as the increased importance of strongholds.

The Good Bookr - PSP Bible Reader

About
The Good Bookr is a Bible reader for the Sony PSP, based on the open source Bookr ebook reader.
Unlike other Bible releases for the PSP, The Good Bookr is a standalone compiled program, not a set of images or web pages. The Good Bookr uses SQLite to store, search, and retrieve Bible texts. It also uses Danzeff OSK for the search interface.
Features
- Load a specific book, from Genesis to Revelation.
- Search full text or individual books.
- Bookmark individual chapters and verses.
- Navigate via book and chapter.
- Configurable controls.
- Select font face and font size.
- Customize font and background colors.
- Rotate the text to read vertically.
Controls
Most of the controls are configurable. These are the defaults:
- Triangle - Open search menu
- Square - Previous chapter
- Circle - Next chapter
- Left Trigger - Previous book
- Right Trigger - Next book
- Up/Down - Scroll one line
- Left/Right - Scroll ten lines
- Select - Open bookmarks/options
- Start - Open main menu
Thanks
Many thanks for the excellent work which made this possible:

Speaking to Weekly Famitsu in Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment President and CEO, Kaz Hirai, talked about a number of topics related to Sony's PlayStation business.
Regarding Sony's Home virtual world service for the PlayStation 3, which was officially delayed to Spring 2008 (the service remains in beta), Hirai noted that he's actually not very happy with its current state and he wants to make sure Home makes a big impact when it finally does make its debut.
"...we believe the delay would have a positive effect. I personally am not satisfied with the current version of Home," he said. "This is a very big project for the PS3 and we want to make sure that we deliver to our hearts content. We hope everyone will look forward to its spring release next year."

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has moved quickly to dismiss a report claiming that the 40GB PlayStation 3 suffers from a 40 per cent failure rate as "totally inaccurate".
The report appeared on Dutch website Gamed.nl but appears to have since been removed.
"We are very proud of the quality and reliability of PlayStation 3 and are disappointed that such extremely sloppy journalism has resulted in this totally inaccurate story," Sony Europe boss David Reeves said in a statement.
"Since launching the 40GB PS3, we have experienced a fantastic jump in sales and the failure rates have remained at the very low level that we not only strive for, but have been achieving since the launch of PS3."
The 40GB PS3 launched in the UK on October 10, priced at GBP 299.

SamuraiX posted this over at ps2dev:
Moonlight has incorporated the addition 32 MBytes to Malloc() when using his SDK for M33-3 (Looking at sample memory test).
This is great news, meaning if you include the SDK with your current project you will now have direct malloc access to the additional memory.
I can't wait to incorporate support for additional memory on my project (OpenBOR) now!
Thank You Moonlight!!!
Does this mean that all emulators can use the extra memory, lets hope so

News/release from Freeplay:
This is a tool (written in about four hours, hooray) that allows you to manage the RSS channels stored on your PSP. With any PSP on firmware 2.80 and above, homebrew-capable or not, it lets you:
* Enter the title, URL, web link, description, and copyright information for an RSS channel
* Indicate whether a channel should be added to the list of pre-selected channels when you pick "Select Multiple" in the RSS channel viewer
* Add and delete channels
* Save the listing to your PSP for instant access
What's next?
In the future, I'll add some more features, obviously. One I'm working on will grab all the necessary info from the URL you enter when you click a button, to make it even easier to just copy/paste a link into the RSS channel listing. This won't take me long, but it's 10:35 PM and I have to work tomorrow
Use:
* "PSP Drive" dropdown menu: Lets you pick your PSP drive.
* "Channels" list: Lets you pick a channel to edit.
* "Title", "URL", "Web Link", "Description", and "Copyright Info" boxes: Self-explanatory.
* "Add to 'save multiple' list" checkbox: Lets you indicate if the channel should be added to the list of pre-selected channels when you pick "Select Multiple" in the RSS channel viewer.
* "Add New" button: Adds a new RSS channel to the list, using the information in the text boxes.
* "Delete" button: Asks for confirmation, then deletes the currently-selected channel.
* "Apply channel changes" button: Temporarily saves the changes you've made to this channel, so you can edit another one. The changes are only saved in memory; they're not saved onto the disk.
* "Undo channel changes" button: Reverts to the last saved/'applied' version of the channel.
File menu:
* "Reload all channels from PSP": Cancels any changes you've made and reloads the listing from the last saved version.
* "Save all channels to PSP": Applies any changes you've made and saves the listing.
* "Exit": Self-explanatory.
Feel free to give me suggestions. Oh, and this requires the .NET framework. I'm not sure which version; I think just .NET 2.0.

Sony’s latest update to the PS3’s on-board firmware, version 2.0, is now live and available to download, and brings with it a host of new functions – though not the expected ability to access the XMB whilst playing games.
The biggest new feature is the new Remote Start Up, which allows PSP owners to turn on their PS3 from afar and access content stored on the machine’s hard drive. A statement from Sony explains:
"Firmware 2.00 will cement the partnership between PS3 and PSP and create a truly global experience.
“With the ability to turn your PS3 on and off from wi-fi connection, there is now the opportunity to listen to the music, look at the photos and watch the videos saved on the PS3 HDD anywhere in the world."
Other tweaks include the ability to make playlists for both your MP3s and your pictures, enhanced Trend Web Micro Security for parental control and a new Information Board that updates itself with PlayStation-related news.
And whilst the XMB is still not accessible in-game, the XMB screen itself is now more customisable, with the ability to change colour or set a custom theme.

Good old Lair for PS3 has been delayed by at least a couple of weeks according to retailers speaking to Eurogamer, with the game now listed as 23rd November by many.
The swoopy-around Factor 5 dragon-riding game - which for better or worse makes extensive use of the Sixaxis motion sensor - has been out across the pond for some time, but we're still waiting on it over here.
We had expected to finally get our hands on it tomorrow, but apparently it's not to be due to an unspecified manufacturing issue - although Sony hasn't confirmed the reason for the delay at the time of writing.

SouthPeak Games has announced a studio license agreement with Epic Games for use of the Unreal Engine 3 in the development of its upcoming videogame titles worldwide.
The agreement is in effect throughout the life of the UE3 technology application across all major platforms including downloadable content.
"Independent developers need more opportunities to bring their games to market with next-generation technology," said Katie Morgan, executive vice president at SouthPeak Games.
"UE3 provides developers all the tools and resources necessary to build great games and SouthPeak is giving talented developers a chance to focus on creating their games without spending the resources to create an engine to support it."
"We see this as a landmark agreement for Epic and the UE3 technology because of SouthPeak's focus on independent developers," said Epic's Mark Rein. "They are going to bring UE3 to a group of developers that have fantastic games but would typically have to wait a long time to work with our award-winning game engine."
The next SouthPeak release under the new studio license is Monster Madness EX: Battle for Suburbia, currently under development by Psyonix Studios for the PS3.

It is a day of great celebration in the countries of Greece, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and the Czech Republic, as Sony Computer Entertainment Europe launches for new iterations of the PlayStation Store for these poor, underprivileged areas.
"When we launched PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) in March, we promised that we would continue to improve the service throughout the SCEE territories and offer more stores to new regions as quickly as possible," said Chris Stanton-Jones, VP of Distributor Markets for SCEE. "The launch of these four new stores highlights our commitment both to improving our offering and the importance of these increasingly dynamic markets.
I would have thought they'd have gotten to this sooner, seeing as Europe is the most important continent, but you can't complain when four new countries get access to the most awesome rubber duckie game ever created.

If you're in the PAL or Asian territories, you may have discovered that your 1.2 GB download of the brand new Uncharted: Drake's Fortune demo won't @!#?@!ing play on your PlayStation 3. It's not a bug, despite it's somewhat awkward behavior. It's intentional. Yes, the Uncharted demo is sadly region specific and won't play on anything but a North American PS3. It's the kind of slap in the face that hurts so much worse after a 1200 MB wait in line.
We contacted Sony Computer Entertainment America who confirmed that the US version "does not allow for cross-region play" and that "the Japanese and PAL demo will both be released soon, but we don't have confirmed release dates." Unfortunately, the delay in the non-North American enjoyment of the Naughty Dog adventure can simply be chalked up to Uncharted's release date in its respective territories. Cold comfort, I know.

Switching resolution on the PS3 isn't too complicated, but if you're trying to do it from memory on a TV that's blank because you've got the wrong settings it's nigh impossible. With the XCM E-SETER, you can quickly push one of the labeled buttons and switch quickly and instantly to the desired setting, bypassing all that Sony Cross Media Bar goodness their programmers worked so hard to port from the PSP. $29.99 [£14] is a bit too much if you rarely use this, but if you're taking your PS3 to your friends' houses to show off how great Heavenly Sword and Folklore are, you probably stopped reading and ordered this already.

It hasn't exactly been easy to pin down the exact type of chips used in the new 40GB PlayStation 3s, but Sony's Kaz Hirai now appears to have finally put the matter to rest -- at least for now.
In an interview with the folks at Impress, he said that the new model does in fact use the swanky new 65nm process for the Cell chip after all, but not for the system's RSX graphics chip, which gets stuck with the same power-hungry 90nm chip as before.
Despite that, Hirai says that the new Cell chip alone is enough to "cut the power usage of the system considerably," an amount that had previously been been reported as 120 to 140 watts (down from 200 watts before).
In related news, Hirai also confirmed that neither the 20 or 60GB models (with their increased backwards compatibility) are in production at the moment, but he said that "depending on how the market reacts, it's possible for Sony to produce them again."

Today Koei announced it will release Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power (available in Japan since April 2004) next February in the U.S. The Nobunaga's Ambition series has been around since the NES/Famicom days and focuses on historical simulation and strategy.
"The Nobunaga's Ambition series defined the simulation genre when it first debuted in 1983," said Amos Ip, Senior VP at KOEI Corporation. "The engrossing gameplay in many ways set the standard by which all other console simulation games would be measured. The franchise continues to be enjoyed around the world and has garnered numerous awards. Now, with Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power the engrossing strategy and simulation elements are presented in a rich 3D environment. Koei is excited to reintroduce the Nobunaga's Ambition series to veteran players and to a new generation of fans."
Rise to Power is set during the 16th century in feudal Japan. Players assume the titular role of Nobunaga or of a rival warlord and must unite Japan under one rule. But each quest for power begins with a starting point, and there are over 300 to choose from in Rise to Power.
This is the first game in the series to use a 3D, real-time battle system. The last title in the franchise to see a U.S. release was Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness on the SNES.

After plenty of commotion surrounding when on earth it's actually going to be released, SCEE has finally come around a stuck a date on the PS3 version of Singstar - and good news, girls, it'll be out in time for Christmas.
December 7 is the date you'll be able to pick it up in the shops. It of course comes complete with all its fancy new "game 3.0" features like the music store and online community, where you can post videos of yourself getting drunk and singing Westlife.
Apparently, there's also something going on at the 02 Arena where you can try the game out. We're not going anywhere near it without at least three pints of cider in us.
Look for the review shortly before release. It's going to be fun.

Epic Games' Mark Rein says that he hopes Unreal Tournament 3 will be released on PlayStation 3 this year but he doesn't think it will make it to Europe until 2008.
"Right now we're very close to a release candidate, and we should have it finished by the end of this week," he told Eurogamer at an event in Birmingham yesterday. "Then we send it off and it's just a matter of what happens from there."
"We think there's a very solid shot we'll get out this year - I don't know about Europe. Europe's a problem because the certification process in Europe takes longer.
"They're testing all these different languages in all these different countries, so I doubt it'll be released this year in Europe. But I don't know. We'll have to cross our fingers and wait and see."
However, he reckons the PS3 version is "really solid".
"Go play the game!" he ordered. "This build is really solid. On the test we ran on this build there were an amazingly small number of issues. We were surprised at how few issues there were."

Speaking at an interactive entertainment conference, Oberon Media chairman Tal Kerret said that he doesn't think the PlayStation 3 is ready for their casual games.
Oberon Media recently acquired iPlay and PixelPlay, expanding its casual games reach to include mobile, interactive TV, PC and Console Software.
The company has had some success with casual games on the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live Arcade, but has yet to deliver content for the Wii or the PlayStation 3.
"Xbox was a great opportunity that they opened up to get content that can be downloaded, that can be controlled in a more open way for the consumers and for the developers," Kerret said.
"I didn't see a phenomenal success on Wii for allowing people to download games."
With the PS3, Kerret thinks that they are still trying to figure it out.
"We focus on where can we get the fastest reach to consumers, the fastest way to provide them with the content, and the easiest way where we can provide some service to the developers.
"If we can't bring value to the developers, then for us it is just yet another outlet that we take our content and port it to," he explained.
"If it is a porting question, then I would ask my self many other questions. What comes first? We are dealing with so many things, as you've seen."
Even so, Oberon's chairman did say that the company definitely planned to look at gaming consoles other than the Xbox 360.
"So we'll take some of these games, yes, to the Wii, the PS3...the PS3 is not yet ready for it, but when they are ready.
"DS is more appropriate for some of these titles. Hopefully, we'll create some success stories there."

Koei has decided that what you want is a PSP version of its strategical role-playing series Disgaea.
It is called Afternoon of Darkness in memory of a good pub lunch, and will be available to get lost in this December.
The story is based around the familiar face of Prince Laharl and his band of oddball chums, who get all rough and tumble as they fight for control of the Netherworld.
Developer Nippon Ichi has included a few new things for portable fans, though, like a PSP-specific multiplayer mode that lets you duel friends around the world or share items ad-hoc from your shop.
There is also an exclusive storyline featuring Etna, which sees you try to become Beauty Queen Ultimate Overlord by finishing the game. And if you do, a never-before-seen ending awaits.
You will also be able to customise your multiplayer settings, like modifying the rules, field conditions and other bits and pieces. And to spice things up, you and your opponent can pick five geo cubes before a battle, each with random and potentially game winning properties - although neither of you will know what the other has, a bit like sleeping with a stranger.
Disgaea one and two both scored 9/10 here on Eurogamer for their blend of complex statistics hidden in an engrossing storyline.
Pop over to our Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness gallery to see how it is shaping up.

Sir Howard Stringer said that Blu-ray is currently in a "stalemate" with HD DVD.
Speaking in Manhattan, Sony's CEO downplayed the importance of the battle, however, saying that it was mostly a matter of prestige whose format wins out in the end.
The HD DVD format is chiefly backed by Toshiba and Microsoft.
"We were trying to win on the merits, which we were doing for a while, until Paramount changed sides," Stringer said, in reference to the movie studio's recent decision to drop Blu-ray in support of HD DVD, for which it received USD 150 million from HD DVD proponents.
"It doesn't mean as much as all that," Stringer said. He believed that there was an opportunity of uniting the two camps under one format before he became CEO of Sony, and wishes he could travel back in time to make that happen.
Stringer was more positive about the PlayStation 3, noting that it has become the best-selling console in Europe after a price cut three weeks ago. The recent US price cut has doubled sales.
"We are coming back up again," Stringer said.
Sony aims to sell 10 million PS3 consoles by March, the end of its fiscal year.

Last week, only two vids in the movies folder on my PC turned up in the PS3's browser (both were mpegs). Now [with FW v2.00]? The Xvid and DivX vids are showing up as well. Course they don't actually play, you'll just get a "corrupted" message if you try, but Sony wouldn't have increased the compatibility in there for shits and giggles. Would they?

Yellow-haired ninjas never get a break. The most famous of them all, Naruto, is set for another journey this coming spring exclusively on the PlayStation 2 in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3. The game continues the tradition of the series and remains an action-based fighter, but brings more unique stages and characters to the franchise than ever before.
With Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, players will be able to play through all of the major events in Story Arc 1 by way of the Heroes History mode. A new customization feature, called Ultimate Jutsu, will let you use points you've earned in battle to bolster your strength, defense, chakra, agility and other abilities. The new Summoning mode will let you turn characters into giant-sized, ultra-powerful versions of themselves, or you can summon giant creatures as allies. Also, fans of the series will appreciate the inclusion of both English and Japanese voiceovers.

There has been no shortage of speculation on a PlayStation 3 release of critical and commercial darling BioShock, but 2K Games, Microsoft and Ken Levine have done their best to smash any rumors about such a port. And while we're growing quite tired of being emotionally torn apart at the seams by a potential PS3 version, the rumor has cropped up one more time. This time the source of the talk is EGM's long running editorial nom de plume Quartermann. "There's a change in the tide, as the world of Rapture may be Cell-enabled in 2008," Quartermann writes.

Earlier today, rumors flew around boards on the interwebs that Bethesda's upcoming PSP title, The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion, had been cancelled for the system. This news was supposedly reported to some people by Gamestop employees who had pulled the listed title from their online store. The report was dismaying news for RPG fans, who had eagerly been anticipating a portable experience in Cyrodiil. If true, it would also be the final setback for the title, which had been pushed back several times from its original release date. Is the rumor true? No one knows for sure. We contacted Bethesda Softworks to get any word on the title, and were told that there is no comment on the status of the game itself. That doesn't confirm that the game has been cancelled or deny the rumors, but we'll keep you informed if any news does become available on the title.

A new RSS reader for the PSP has been released, heres the details:
PReSS stands for Portable RSS. And that's just what it is: an RSS reader for the Playstation Portable. Let PReSS connect to any WiFi access point and you're good to go. With it's 6 hour battery lifetime, reading the news while travelling was never easier.
Features
Portable
Because PReSS stores all feed data on your MemoryStick, you can enjoy your favourite channels even when you are not connected to the internet.
Catalogue
Typing in a feed adress on a device that has no keyboard is not what we call 'user-friendly'. That's why PReSS has it's own catalogue, filled with user-submitted feeds.
Skinnable
The more creative can easily create their own skins by simply replacing 14 images and one simple script. skins can be submitted here.
Free
Version 0.1 of PReSS is completely free. If you all donate a few bucks, the next one will be too.

New version of the PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows and Linux.
Changelog:
- ZeroSPU2 - new SPU2 plugin from zerofrog. It is the most stable SPU2 plugin. Also has a time-scaling feature which slows down sound when the frame rate is too low (instead of hearing popping sounds). The time-scaling feature works best under Windows, but is also implemented in Linux. This new plugin also fixes the voices on the Japanese release of Final Fantasy X
- VU recompilers - games like Kingdom Hearts II, Metal Gear Solid III, and Katamari Damacy are now playable.
- ZeroGS 0.97 - ZeroGS DirectX has gone open source! You can download it from sourceforge. A lot of bug fixes in this release and the added support of AA modes up to x16! One new feature is the ability to tweak ZeroGS options, which were internal up to these release. Read more about this feature in the help guide for how to patch up games.
- Path3 GS fixes - Fixes corrupting textures on many games.
- Memory Card Fixes - Now you can save your games in games like Resident Evil 4 and others which refused to see memorycards!
- Dual Layer DVD reading support for games like Xenosaga.
- Network Play! Enjoy playing your favourite online game with PS2 Players. (WinPCap Required), You can read up on how to do it by following this link: http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-official-f...guide.html
- Windows x64 and Linux x86-64 support - The recompilers are not optimized yet, so don't expect major speed improvements. However, pcsx2 can now natively run on these platforms as well as the x86 platforms.
- Real Time Clock - Silly as it may seem, this actually makes Metal Gear Solid 3 and Katamari Damacy work, plus your ps2 says the actual time!

StrmnNrmn posted this on his site:
I'm interested in which firmware everyone is running on. It would be very helpful if you could reply to this post with a) which model of PSP you're using ('fat'/slim, revision # if known) and b) which firmware you're using.
I have two PSPs. I have an original Japanese PSP with v1.00 firmware which I use for development, and a UK PSP which usually runs the latest official firmware (v3.72 at the moment.)
I'm interested because I want to know if anyone still requires the v1.50 (kxploit) versions of Daedalus that I release. I also need to figure out if it's worth my time getting a slim PSP for developing with the v3.xx+ firmware.
Thanks!

StrmnNrmn is on a roll today with more news about his Nintendo 64 Emulator for the PSP:
Over the past week I've started making plans for what I want to do for R14.
To start with, R13 introduced a couple of issues which I want to fix. Firstly, a number of roms now no longer work with dynarec enabled, or show odd behaviour. For instance, Aerogauge now finishes the race as soon as the countdown completes. I've tracked this down to one of the dynarec optimisations I added in August, where I optimise fragments which jump back to themselves. This should be a 'safe' transformation, so it suggests there's a bug somewhere in my implementation. If I can't fix the bug in time for R14, I'll add a temporary setting to allow this optimisation to be disabled on a rom-by-rom basis (much like the 'dynarec stack optimisation' setting).
Secondly, it looks like something I changed for savestate support has broken the 'return to main menu' option. I added some logic to help ensure that when taking a snapshot for the savestate, the CPU is paused in a 'safe' state (i.e. no dynarec code is executing, nothing is running on the RSP, and nothing is executing in the branch delay slot.) It looks like I've messed something up which is causing the 'return to main menu' option to wait for a safe state before bailing out to the menu. Should be an easy one to fix.
Morgan suggested a nice idea in the comments, which is that I generate a thumbnail for the savestate as it is created to display alongside the slot in the UI. It's a little tricky to implement, as by the time the emulator is told to create a savestate, it has already obliterated the n64's framebuffer with the Daedalus UI. I'll have to do something quite clever like speculatively copy the n64's framebuffer into system memory every time you enter the Pause Menu, or create the screenshot on the first frame rendered after saving. Either way, I'd like to add this simple feature to R14.
Next on my list for R14 is to look at making more significant performance improvements. Over the months many people have been asking when I'd get around to implementing audio on the PSP's Media Engine. I've talked about this before, but always kept putting it off in order to work on easier optimisations.
The Media Engine is a bit of unknown territory for me. Even though it's practically identical to the main CPU, you can't just change a setting an suddenly have your code running on it. There are a number of small hurdles I have to overcome before I can get audio working on the ME, but this is my big goal for R14 (I'll save the technical discussion for the next post.) If all goes to plan this should mean that audio can always be enabled without a significant impact on framerate.
So in summary for R14: a few bug fixes, thumbnails for savestates, and audio without affecting framerate.

Earlier I discussed my plans for getting Daedalus's audio processing working on the PSP's Media Engine.
As I mentioned in that post, it's not just a case of changing some compiler setting to get this working. I've not spent much time investigating the ME so I may be wrong on a few of these points, but here are the current issues that I think need solving.
Firstly in order to access the ME I need to be running in kernel mode. This requires either running Daedalus in kernel mode, or (preferably) creating a kernel mode PRX that encapsulates the required functionality. I think kernel mode rules out anyone running with v1.50 firmware (hence my earlier post - please respond to the poll if you haven't already done so!) Maybe one of the more savvy psp developers out there can correct me on this? If no-one is using v1.50 any more then maybe it isn't even an issue.
Another problem is that although the ME is essentially the same processor as the main core, it has a different memory map. This means that things like the VRAM is invisible to the ME, so any code ported to run on the ME would have to be written to operate on main memory. This isn't an issue for Daedalus's audio list processing, but it would cause problems if I wanted to move display list processing to the ME too.
Touching on the memory map issue, another problem is the lack of cache coherency between the two cores. I need to be careful when accessing the same areas of memory with both cores to correctly flush and invalidate the data caches. Ideally any shared memory should be kept to a minimum, but this is easier said than done when porting existing code, rather than writing new code.
For a similar reason, any code which needs to run on the ME should avoid making any calls to the runtime library, including doing any system memory allocation. System calls are also ruled out. This is fairly easy to guarantee if you're writing new code, but again, it's a lot harder if you're porting existing code.
I think that's most of the issues from the hardware side. There are also a number of issues to be solved to do with the way that Daedalus handles audio and display list processing.
On the N64, the audio and display lists are processed asynchronously by the RSP coprocessor. In Daedalus, I can identify when these tasks are queued up for the RSP, intercept them, and process them synchronously (using high-level emulation rather than simulating the RSP execution directly).
The key thing here is that as far as the emulated N64 is concerned, audio and display list processing currently happens instantaneously. As soon as it kicks off the RSP it gets a interrupt to inform it that processing has completed. The whole process is very deterministic and I'm worried that by processing these display lists asynchronously on the ME that a number of intermittent and hard-to-debug issues will crop up. On the other hand, processing these tasks asynchronously is much closer to the behaviour of a real N64, which may fix some timing-related issues. It will also allow Daedalus to exploit the inherent parallelism that N64 roms were designed to take advantage of.
My current plan for ME audio support in R14 is:
Create a kernel mode PRX and get Daedalus successfully loading and invoking functions (under all supported firmwares). I've just about done this.
Add the code to support initialising and running code on the ME to the PRX. Test invoking user mode functions from the main EBOOT.PBP. I'll probably be using J.F.'s great sample code as a reference for this. Thanks J.F.!
Rewrite the audio list processing code so that it can be invoked synchronously or asynchronously as required (via some kind of configuration option). When running asynchronously it can just be run from a separate high-priority thread to start with. I can use this to test for various synchronisation issues without going through the pain of trying to do this on the ME first.
Audit the audio list processing code to minimise any memory accesses or ensure that they are correctly synchronised with the main core/thread. Any crt or system calls need to be eliminated or abstracted away (e.g. printfs NOP when compiled to run on the ME).
Invoke audio list processing code from the ME.
Cross fingers.
So, that's the plan; I'll keep you updated on my progress. If anyone has any experience doing this kind of thing on the ME it would be great to hear your thoughts.

This is the seventh year of IGN teaming with THQ to bring you an exclusive look at the Superstars of the latest WWE videogame. This year, we'll be detailing all of the WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008's in-ring renegades -- legends, divas and the current brawlers. What can you expect on these pages as time goes by? Well, be on the lookout for stats, bios, videos, screens and much more as we get in-depth, hands-on time with these titles.
Who gets the special PSP Countdown spotlight today? Why, it's none other than the portable's exclusive legends -- Jim Neidhart, Sgt. Slaughter and Eddie Guerrero.
HEIGHT:
6' WEIGHT:
282 lbs. HOMETOWN:
Calgary, Alberta
An amateur record-holding shot-putter. A devoted family man. A former NFL player. Those are a few of the things you could call Jim Neidhart, but most would call The Anvil one of the most intense sports-entertainers of all-time. Intensity is an attribute that many Superstars go their whole careers attempting to perfect in the ring, but for this former WWE Superstar, it was a trademark all his own, although he is quick to point out his beginning in the business was extreme enough.
After an outstanding high school shot-putting career at Newport Harbor High School in Newport Beach, Calif., and after being cut by the Dallas Cowboys, Neidhart ventured north to Calgary, Alberta, and Stu Hart's infamous dungeon for professional wrestling training.
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart then became a mainstay with WWE in the '80s, one-half of the legendary Hart Foundation with Bret "Hit Man" Hart. The two men were on top of the tag team world for much of the decade, either holding the World Tag Team Championship or battling over the titles.

Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick has clarified that Grand Theft Auto IV will still release in the company's second fiscal quarter - between February and April 2008.
Last week, Zelnick told a BMO Capital Markets conference that the company was not ready to announce a firm date for the highly-anticipated title.
This was taken by some to mean that the previously announced launch window - between the start of February and the end of April 2008 - was not set in stone.
But Zelnick, speaking to Gamespot, has stated that he only meant that Take-Two and developer Rockstar did not want to name an exact date yet.
"I wasn't intending to be newsworthy," Zelnick said. "When asked about the release date, I confirmed the previous release date we'd given, which is our second fiscal quarter. That's to say sometime between the beginning of February and the end of April."

There are early indications that Guitar Hero III has had a significant impact on record sales for bands featured in the game.
The game, subtitled Legends of Rock, was released in the US at the end of October. It will launch in Europe on 23 November.
Hard rock label Roadrunner Records said that sales of DragonForce's album "Inhuman Rampage" increased 126% week-on-week in the wake of Guitar Hero III's release. DragonForce's song "Through the Fire and Flames" is featured as an unlockable bonus track in Guitar Hero III.
Slipknot, another Roadrunner artist featured in the game, also saw its album sales increase.
The news follows comments made by EA's Steve Schnur at Games Convention Asia in September. Schnur asserted that games were now more relevant than radio when it comes to promoting new music.
US sales figures for Guitar Hero III are not yet available, but Activision is expecting the music title to be one of its top sellers this year. Its extensive marketing campaign for the game has included sponsorship of the Sex Pistols' reunion concerts in London last week.

Don Lindich posted this:
I enthusiastically recommend HD DVD because it's a better product and a better proposition for consumers. Signs are showing it is going to trounce Blu-ray, and soon. Surprised? Read on.
For those looking for a single sentence explaining why go with HD DVD: It's a better thought-out, more solid product than Blu-ray, it is half the price, and picture and sound quality are identical. At less than $200 including seven or more movies, HD DVD players are a stunning value. Why pay twice the money when Blu-ray has serious issues and the movies look and sound the same?
I smile when I see people buying HD DVD players based on bargain pricing, because they are unknowingly getting the Ferrari as well! Despite its purported superiority and much higher cost, Blu-ray is the emperor with no clothes. HD DVD has been superior since day one.
On the other hand, at launch Blu-ray's picture quality was horrible, generating barbs such as "needs to go to the scrap heap" and "who in their right mind would ever like this?" Though they have since closed the picture quality gap, almost all Blu-ray player models announced or existing are already obsolete. They conform to an early player profile that does not support upcoming disc features. Profiles should have been finalized before product launch! Blu-ray's record has been spotty at best, and if you say it sounds like they have been fixing it as they go along, I'd say you are right.

According to this weeks Nielsen VideoScan numbers Blu-ray took the lion's share of the HD movie sales again this week with a 71% to 29% split (2.45:1). It appears that the Transformers' effect wasn't enough to hold off Spidey 3, despite the disappointing sales. What's really interesting is that there is only one HD DVD title in the top ten this week, and to add insult to injury, four of the top ten titles are also available on HD DVD, but didn't sell well enough to make the list.
1. Spider-Man 3 BD 100.00
2. Spider-Man: The High Definition Trilogy BD 71.95
3. Transformers HD 31.42
4. Meet the Robinsons BD 8.82
5. 300 BD 6.56
6. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer BD 5.03
7. License to Wed BD 4.24
8. The Shining BD 4.11
9. Mr. Brooks BD 4.03
10. 2001: A Space Odyssey BD 3.88

Epic Games' Mark Rein says that he hopes Unreal Tournament 3 will be released on PlayStation 3 this year but he doesn't think it will make it to Europe until 2008.
"We think there's a very solid shot we'll get out this year - I don't know about Europe. Europe's a problem because the certification process in Europe takes longer.

A Sony CSR admitted to reader Ive that dust should not void a Playstation 3's warranty.
"Ive: I'm calling just to pretty much clarify the PS3's warranty, if there's any clause in the warranty that makes it so that if the PS3 is too dusty that the warranty is void.
CSR: No.
Ive: No?
CSR: No. The only way that it, um, voided is if it was neglected, um, abused, dropped or anything like, modificated like if you opened it up, modification, if you didn't have your receipt, um, any power failures like mother nature or anything like that then that actually does void the warranty. Other than that any defective PS3s or anything like that is still, um, still under the warranty."

The e-setter is a device that allow the user to easily set up their TV screen to be used with the Playstation 3 gaming console. It solves an annoying problem of black screen when switching your PS3 from one TV to another.
People who have 2 or more TVs at home wanting to move the PS3 to play on another TV, may find that there is no picture display after moving because the output resolution is different on each TV. They would have to set the PS3 back to original setting on their current TV before move to another TV.
Setting the output of PS3 is complicated, and takes up to half hour to do so.
The e-setter is a device for users to set up the output resolution easily, switch a buttons and get set up in a few seconds.

pspgorrister has just released a nice application to convert videos to PSP format, using Linux. It integrates into Konqueror and supports avi, mpeg, mpg....Its in English and Spanish (depends on your KDE language).
Another GREAT feature is that you will be able to convert YouTube videos. Just follow the instructions below, clicking on YouTube video (or even Youtube link, if we dont want to watch that video in that moment )
Installation
Just open a terminal, and write:
- cd ..
- cd Kpsp-Convert0.2.0
- sh ./install.sh
Now, navegate to your favourite video. Click on it with the right button/Actions/Convert to PSP Format. Just select Output folder/Codec and wait for a while.
The codecs of the above of Window codecs give more quality for the final video, but they are also slower.
Note that you could need ffmpeg library (just use Google).

Play Beowulf, an epic hero tormented by desire for power and glory. A slayer and a king – torn between the nobility and brutality within him.
You are Beowulf, legendary Norse warrior with the strength of 30 men. Arrogant, self-serving, and lustful for gold and glory, you journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land. But evil persists, and you succumb to its lure of even greater fame, quietly maneuvering to claim the Danish throne. As King, you must face the consequences of ambition, even as war descends on the realm. Lead your thanes into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age, and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both your kingdom and your people.
Only then, when you look Destiny in the eye, will you know what kind of hero you truly are...

In the 14th century a quarrel over English succession to the French throne escalated into what history would call the Hundred Years’ War. This ongoing war had exhausted the standing armies of both sides and there was a growing dependence on mercenary soldiers.
Now, take charge as a mercenary leader and contract your army to the English and French. With arrows raining from above, knights charging on horseback, and cannoniers firing volleys at heavy infantry, armies will collide in unprecedented scale and startling chaos on the battlefield.

The popular DivX video codec will soon be supported on the PlayStation 3 via a future firmware update. DivX CEO Kevin Hell also hinted that support is coming to the 360 as well. 'During the SMid Cap conference call with investment firm JP Morgan, Hell was asked if the recent deal that will see DivX codecs shipped with new versions of Microsoft's standalone Media Center Extenders means that such support will also be arriving on the Xbox 360. "Yes!" was his immediate reply, although he quickly qualified that confirmation with a disclaimer that the deal was still in the negotiation process and had not yet been finalized

Nherve updated his Plugin for PS2 emulators:
Open the champagne !!!
I've here a new pad plugin I wrote. It's MegaPad and it uses SDL. No worry, the latest actual version of the SDL (1.2.12) is provided.
This plugin offers, as LilyPad, a complete pad support, many possibilities, but is much simpler than LilyPad.
First place SDL.dll in the root PCSX2 folder (not the plugins folder), else the plugin won't start.
1. Mapping and config
After having selected MegaPad in the Pad plugins list and launched its GUI by clicking the
Config button, you must configure it. You can select the Pad 1 or the Pad 2 with the
buttons in the top-left corner of the window. For mapping press any of the 20 buttons.
The pressed button will become grayed. Then you can do various things :
a. Keyboard
For the buttons press a key and the selected button will be bound to the pressed key. Pressing
Escape or Backspace allows you to delete a value. For the axes press any key with old versions, or click right button whth new versions, and the selected
axis will be bound to the mouse. Note that if the axes of the 2 players are bound to the mouse,
they will move simultaneously.
b. Joystick
For the buttons press a button, a POV hat in the wanted direction or move an axis in the wanted
direction and it will be bound to the selected button. Note that if you bind an axis to a
pressure-sensitive button*, the pressure will match the value of the axis. Try this feature in
games which need pressure sensitive buttons. For the axes move an axis and it will be bound to
the selected axis. Warning : the GUI has a little difficulty to detect the moves of the vertical
(y) axes, but there is no problem in the games.
c. Misc
There are 4 general options under the mapping buttons.
1. Axis sensitivity : can be 3 values (affect the GUI as the games). This is the sensitivity of the
plugin to axis moves.
-Very sensible : for precision games or low-sensibility axes.
-Normal : default, I recommend you to use it.
-Low sensibility : use it if your axes are very sensible.
2. Enable logging : This enables a pad log stored in logs\megapad_log.txt, which can be used only for
debugging purposes. As mentionned, this logging makes the emu slower.
3. Always show cursor : Use it with ZeroGS if you use the mouse, to see where is the cursor.
4. Low-visibility cross cursor : The arrow cursor is replaced by a low-visibility cross cursor.
Use it if you don't want to see the arrow cursor.
Then click OK.
2. Emu
I think I don't need to detail how to use the keyboard or the joysticks, but I will tell you how does
the mouse support work.
Press the left button for left axis, the right button for right axis. When you release a button, the
corresponding axis will be "centered". When you press a button the cursor is automatically centered.
Move it as an analog axis. When a button is pressed the cursor cannot get out the GS window. The
mouse support has been seriously improved in the new version, axis positions are calculated from
the size of the GS window, so it works better than PadWinKeyb mouse support.
If you encounter any bug using this plugin tell it to me.
The plugin is in the attachments, with screenshots of the GUI.
Version 1.3.2
For those who get a bug while mapping the buttons, download this version.

Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 reunites the cast and filmmakers from the first two blockbuster adventures for a web of secrets, vengeance, love, and forgiveness that will transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights on May 4, 2007.
In Spider-Man 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comics series, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control.
Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves.
Published by Sony Pictures, the Blu-ray movie release edition of Spider Man 3 is now available as Region A encoded Asia edition at US$ 31.90 only. This title features English (DTS HD) and French dub (Dolby Digital 5.1) with selectable Chinese, English, Korean, Thai, Spanish or French subtitles.
In stock at the same time is the Spider Man [The High Definition Trilogy] box set, containing all three movies in high definition quality.

Ubisoft has pencilled in Haze for December 14 in its latest release schedule, meaning the shooter will just manage to squeeze in amongst the Christmas rush.
It also means the game has been pushed back a month - it was originally scheduled to release in November.
Developed by Free Radical, Haze is currently exclusive to PS3, although it's widely thought that PC and Xbox 360 versions will hit next year (but this remains unconfirmed by official channels). So it might not be exclusive to PS3 for very long with the slip to December.
Anyway, it's set in a near-future where the government has outsourced military operations to private multinational corporations. You play Shane Carpenter, a soldier who works for the Mantel Corporation who has access to high-tech vehicles, kick-ass weapons and performance enhancing bio-medical support.
Free Radical director David Doak has said previously that one of the developer's key goals with the game is "to make people think" in addition to "pushing the bar with gameplay and presentation".

There are fresh rumours doing the rounds this morning that a sequel to Insomniac's PS3-launch shooter, Resistance: Fall of Man will, be with us next year.
Ripten.com claims to have received info from a "trusted source" that Sony is preparing to put Resistance 2 through a major stress test in January.
Sony, of course, has yet to confirm the existence of Resistance 2, but you just know it's in the pipeline.
A rumour on the sequel appearing last month suggested that the follow-up is being tentatively prepared for launch next November, and will relocate the alien-bashing action to the States.
It even went as far as to say that the sequel will feature a cliff-hanger ending paving the way for a third game in the series.

Konami says it is working on fixes for a number of issues specific to the PlayStation 3 version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.
Online gameplay quality, stuttering graphics and game freezes are all addressed in the latest update to the publisher's online FAQ, which also suggests some short-term solutions while they work on proper fixes.
For example, people experiencing "stuttering" are very likely "not playing the game in high definition", it says here. "The solution to this problem is to play the game on an HDTV with an HDMI or component cable and the PS3 set to output in 720p resolution or above." (Er.) Calm down though, because they are "continuing to work on finding a solution for those people who do not have access to an HDTV".
What about online gameplay? "We have uncovered issues which affect online gameplay quality of PES 2008," the FAQ says. "We are working at full strength to find a solution as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience."
Meanwhile, if you're having problems with the game freezing in the Master League or when starting a match, you're advised that these issues mainly present themselves when the game has been installed to the hard disk. In the Master League's case, a combination of auto-saving and hard disk storage causes problems, so turning off auto-save is a short-term workaround, while matches freezing up are apparently down to a mixture of hard-disk install and players with camera-customised appearance - something you can dodge by playing PES 2008 without installing the game to the hard disk.

StrmnNrmn has updated his blog today on Tuesday, and it's about his progress on the Media Engine.
"Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Media Engine progress
Over the weekend I described my plans for getting audio list processing working on the PSP's Media Engine. I'm making some decent progress so far. I've got Daedalus loading a kernel mode PRX to handle the ME nitty gritty, and I've managed to execute some test code on the ME successfully.
I've spent some time reviewing the audio code, trying to figure out if any bits are particularly amenable to running asynchronously, and trying to figure out if there is anything that is going to cause any problems when running this code on the ME. Fortunately it looks like all of Azimer's audio code is very straightforward C so there should be no problems getting it running on the ME once the synchronisation issues are dealt with. I've also realised that alongside the audio list processing there is also some expensive 44kHz upsampling code which will run very nicely on the ME too.
Via StrmnNrmn's Blog: http://strmnnrmn.blogspot.com/
I have the feeling that debugging code on the ME is going to be particularly painful, so I want to try and catch as many of the obvious synchronisation bugs as early as possible. This evening I've started writing a job manager to 'simulate' executing code on the ME. The manager simply creates a thread which sits and waits for jobs to come in, mimicing the behaviour of the mediaengineprx. Once I've got the audio list processing running correctly through the job manager, I can easily switch things over to get these jobs running on the ME in parallel to the main core. That's the plan, anyway 
-StrmnNrmn"
Glad to see he's updating alot now, hopefully he'll get through this smoothly.

ChillyWilly has released a new version of his port of Doom for the PSP which also includes the shareware files so no need to buy your own copy if you dont own it already, full details follow:
Here's my conversion of ADoomPPC, one of the better DOOM conversions (for the Amiga). It's got a simple, decent gui that runs before you start the game which allows you to set most of the major DOOM settings. On the Slim PSP, it supports TV out. This arc includes the source, two sets of MIDI instruments and the shareware WAD file.
v1.4 - 2007/11/14 : Automatically switches on LCD after using TV. No need to tap the display button anymore. Now uses intraFonts from Ben Hur as
long as the ltn8.pgf font can be loaded. Looks a LOT better. If it fails to load the font for some reason (you deleted it to make room in the
flash or something), it falls back to the debug printing. Altered

Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that all PlayStation 2 titles that support rumble and are compatible with PS3 will also rumble if you use the new DualShock 3 pad.
During last week's hands-on with the new controller, we noted that PS2 rumble seemed to be disabled. Since then, PS3 firmware 2.0 has quietly introduced support.
The news from Sony adds to anecdotal evidence from eager importers who reported success getting rumble out of games like Rez and Katamari Damacy.
PlayStation 3 games that already support the pad include MotorStorm, Resistance: Fall of Man and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction.
So, another reason to put one on your shopping list, although you might have to wait a while if you opt for an import - the demand, not to mention price, seems pretty high. The official European and US release date for DualShock 3 is spring 2008.

Sony Computer Entertainment has unveiled pricing details for SingStar PS3's SingStore, where you, your girlfriend and your nan will be able to buy new tracks for GBP £0.99 each from the December 7 launch date.
At first SingStore will offer 44 new tracks over the vanilla game's 30, including songs from previous PS2 entries and new ones (like The Manic Street Preachers and Depeche Mode - no Snoop though).
Sony promises new content will be added to the SingStore regularly, starting as early as little over a week after release on December 17.
It also boasts that downloading of new tracks will take place entirely in the background, so you can keep making a prat of yourself on the mic while it downloads.
The game itself is being offered for the bargain price of £24.99, or £49.99 with two microphones. That's the missus' Christmas present sorted, then (or for yourself, going by the worrying number of you who seem to be excited in the comments).

It's being reported that the latest major PS3 firmware update, version 2.0, could be at the heart of a problem that's causing a number of PS3s to cease working.
A notably large number of PS3 owners have hit the official site to voice concerns of their PS3 functioning incorrectly since installing the update.
Complains range from a small as slowed menu navigation and slow PS Store download speeds to more critical errors such as games consistently crashing or even the PS3 completely losing the ability to read discs.
Others have also complained on the official forum that their PS3 keeps turning itself on due to the new Remote Start feature in FW 2.0 (which allows you to turn on your PS3 wirelessly via the internet for Remote Play via a PSP).
It's worth noting that the timing of the errors could be completely coincidental. It's not uncommon for users who experience errors soon after an update to point the finger of blame at the new firmware.
We've checked our updated PS3s - everything's working just fine (phew). Voice any issues you may have experienced in the comments below.
Sony was not available for comment at the time of writing but we'll keep trying.

Despite numerous denials, everyone from crazed forum users to industry analysts reckon Bioshock for PS3 is a dead certainty, and 2K has leapt out to crush yet more spiralling internet rumours.
"Please don't tell me you made an account just for this question", said a clearly frustrated representative on the official 2K Games forums as threads regarding the Bioshock PS3 rumour erupted once again.
They went on to bluntly add: "There will be no PS3 version of BioShock. It has been explained time and time again."
So, Bioshock on PS3. Not happening. At least, we think that's the message he was trying to get across.

If you look at the central processor in Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox 360 you will see something that can trace its ancestry right back to the Intel 8086 of 1978. Over its evolution this has forced endless fudges and compromises. An analogy might be trying to build a working supertanker on the plans of a model rowing boat. And the 360 itself owes its architecture to the IBM PC of 1981 and so carries with it the accommodations that this architecture imposes. These factors, ultimately, must impinge on the working of the console.
Compare that to Sony (SNE), who were able to design the processor and the console it is in with a clean sheet of paper. The Cell processor, designed jointly with IBM and Toshiba at a cost of $400 million is the state of the art in processor dessign. It is scalable, highly flexible and excellent at distributed processing.

Sales of Sony's PS3 video games console surged 300 per cent after the company released a cheaper model in Japan last week, according to leaked survey data.
Sony Japan introduced the new PS3 model with a 40GB hard disk drive on November 11. One day later, local PS3 weekly sales figures had soared from an average of 16,000 to almost 66,000.
The figures are contained in preliminary data from the latest edition of a regular survey by Japan-based video games publisher and market survey firm, Enterbrain

Christophe Balestra, Co-President of Naughty Dog:
"The main thing about the PlayStation 3 is the Cell processor and more specifically the SPU's. We are only using 30 percent of the power of the SPU's in Uncharted. We've been architecting a lot of our systems around this and we were able to take full advantage of that power. A big part of our systems is running on SPU's: scene bucketing, particles, physics, collision, animation, water simulation, mesh processing, path finding, etc. For our engine, the cool thing about having the SPU's is the fact we can minimize what we send to the RSX (the graphic chip), it allows us to reject unnecessary information and get the RSX to be very efficient."

If price is the battleground where the war between Blu-ray and HD DVD will be fought, then Philips and Lite-On Digital Solutions fired a new salvo on Tuesday, with the announcement of a $199 drive.
Unfortunately, the internal PLDS DH-4O1S drive is not the official answer to the $99 Toshiba HD DVD player that went on sale at Wal-mart last week. The DH-401S is an internal drive for the PC that simply plays back Blu-ray, DVD, and CD discs, although the manufacturers noted that a PC equipped with the drive could be connected via an HDMI cable to a TV.

The PCSX2 Team have released a fixed version of their PS2 emulator for Windows, heres whats new:
Just a quick one, now i'm not suffering so badly from post traumatic release disorder, I thought I better just make a note saying to you guys the release builds were updated yesterday (if you didnt realise there was edit's) due to a bug making the TLB release extremely slow. This has now been fixed.
I have just updated the packs again to include Linuz ISO plugin version 0.7.0, seem's we accidently packed 0.6.0 with the earlier builds! sorry about that!
If you already have the slowness bug fixes (or you only use VM), you can download the Linuz ISO plugin update from our plugin downloads section, else feel free to redownload the packs, preferably from the mirror, as some of you may have noticed due to the volume of downloads we had, the site was grinding to a halt!
Thanks and enjoy 0.9.4
Refraction
PS: Guide to getting online comming soon (a proper one). As linked in the last post there is a simple guide with the basic steps you need to take in order to get up and running, but i will do a more detailed one later for those who dont quite understand

News/release from Carlos Eduardo:
After working some time on it, I have updated the Stackless Python for PSP to version 2.5.1, the latest version released and made the application user mode tested on 3.71 firmware.
In this release, I have fixes the problem exiting the application (where it locked the PSP) and tested many other functionality.
Here follows changes between last version:
- The SSL has been removed for now because it was not working on latest release.
- Fixed time and datetime modules to display correct dates and times based on PSP timezones and DST.
- Fixed problems on sys and os modules
- Ported to user mode and 3.xx kernel.
I hope many people could test this release and post feedbacks about it.
The package can be downloaded from here: http://stacklesspsp.googlepages.com/...PSP2.5.1_1.zip
The installation is the same, put the "python" directory on your MS root and place the EBOOT.PBP in your PSP/GAME3xx or GAME dir if you set it to run 3.xx apps.

Not to be outdone by all the news from Microsoft, Sony announced six more PsOne games are ready to download for 600 yen a piece ($5). You can get Blue Breaker Burst, but you probably want to avoid the horrid 3D fighter and spend your money on Arc of the Lad II. The list also includes Arcade Hits: Moon Cresta, which is essentially an emulated version of the arcade game on a PsOne disc. Now you can add an extra layer of emulation by getting the downloadable PS3/PSP compatible version! Here are the new games Japan gets this week:
Sanyo Pachinko Paradise 3
Sanyo Pachinko Paradise 4
Velldeselba Senki: Tsubasa no Kunshou
Arcade Hits: Moon Cresta
Blue Breaker Burst
Arc of the Lad II

Sony said that it has sold more than 100,000 PS3 consoles in the week ending November 11, an increase of 250 to 300 per cent from the average weekly sales before the price drop.
"It's the breakthrough we've been anticipating," Sony chairman and CEO Howard Stringer told The Associated Press. "We've been holding our breath."
"Obviously, we've taken so much heat over the year on PS3. Finally, the turning point has been passed," he said.

Two Syracuse teenagers are facing felony charges after Syracuse police said the pair beat a man Tuesday at The Galleries in Syracuse while trying to take a hand-held game console from him.
Sharquan Edwards, 16, of 429 Wilkinson St., and Dannell Williams, 16, of 238 Primrose Ave., were both charged with two counts of felony robbery and a misdemeanor count of assault.
Joseph Morales, 25, told police he was at The Galleries at 8:50 a.m. waiting to go to the library and watching a movie on his PSP game console. As he was watching the movie, he was approached by Edwards and Williams, who he said he did not know, police said.
Williams demanded the PSP and grabbed it, Morales said. Morales held on and the two men began beating him to the floor, Morales said.
A witness walked into The Galleries about 9 a.m. and saw the two men hitting and kicking Morales, who was in a ball on the floor, police said. The witness yelled at the men to stop and both men stopped, the witness said. Then, the witness said, Williams kicked Morales in the head. Then both left the building, police said.
Williams was stopped by security outside The Galleries and Edwards was stopped riding a bicycle in the 100 block of Washington Street, police said.

A few of our readers were scoffing at the idea of a $399 40GB PS3. "What's the big deal," you said. This: according to Sony's CEO, Sir Howard Stringer, they've more than doubled sales in the US in the weeks since its launch. "It's the breakthrough we've been waiting for," said Stringer, "We've been holding our breath. Finally, the turning point has been passed." Prior to the October 18th price cut, Sony was selling just 30k to 40k consoles per week. Sales rose to 75,000 in the week ending October 29 rising to 100,000 the following week. Stringer also credits Wii shortages for helping the boost. Andrew House, Sony's chief marketing officer even takes a jab at HD DVD saying, "It puts us vastly ahead of where the other format is going to be in terms of an installed base in people's homes by the end of this holiday season." Perhaps, but we don't expect the boys at Microsoft, Nintendo, and Toshiba to just roll over and let this progress continue unabated now, do we?

Skeezix let me know on IRC about a new version of his excellent Atari ST Emulator for the PSP, heres the release details:
Get CaSTaway build 006 here:
http://www.codejedi.com/shadowplan/castaway.html
I've proven it to work on my PSP Slim; I hope it still works on the Fat.
Please let me know if..
- it works on your Slim
- it works on your Fat with firmware 3.6 or later
- it works on your Fat with firmware earlier than 3.6
- it works on your Fat with 1.5
I am not including a kxploited or firmware-1.0 build in this release, in hopes this new Slim-happy one works on them all.. but we'll have to find out, and I'll adjust my releases as needed. (ie: If I need to include 2 or 3 or 4 builds for different firmwares, I will.)
This release freshens up the emu to my latest codebase and fixes a number of minor issues both in the emu and in the interface, as well as adding some goofy UI effects.
jeff
Edit: Known to work on Fat with 3.52 and 3.71, as well as Slim.

The release of the Sega Saturn emulator for the PSP yesterday brought a lot of discussion as to whether Saturn emulation was possible at a decent speed etc.
But on the 6th page of the discussion about the emulator, Notaz the coder behind the port of Picodrive the Megadrive and Sega CD emulator for the GP2X replied to a post by dgbbad :

Notaz then posted this

Sony has smothered the PlayStation Store in Thursday, covering it in new content.
Well, we say new, but we're not sure how happy you will be with your solo demo of Stranglehold. A rumour was floating around that Haze was going to join it, but it seems to have been little more than gossip.
Still, those of you with a PlayStation Eye can grab the new Mesmerize visualisation thing. It costs GBP 1.99 and lets you wave your limbs about to effect in-game vistas, like making spring to life or twin neon trails twist about.
MotorStorm has got more new bits and bobs, too - this time a fancy Big I Bunny and Numskull livery pack for GBP 1.49. Dress-up for cars and motorbikes and buggy things, then.
Elsewhere there are videos for the excellent and freshly reviewed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Everyday Shooter and Blazing Angels 2. Oh, and a TV commercial as well as a trailer for new Pixar film Wall-E.

Blazing Angels 2 and Toy Home are the two demos posted on the US PlayStation 3 Store this week, giving you a chance to finally fix that pesky old World War II's little red wagon, and then drive little red wagons around for a bit.
Blazing Angels: Secret Missions of World War II sees players return to the skies above everyone's favourite Second World War and introduces a new progression system and an in-cockpit view among other tweaks and changes.
These weren't enough to get Eurogamer's Rob Fahey terribly excited during his review of the Xbox 360 version, but with the benefit of the demo you won't have to rely on what that old maniac says to inform your purchase decision ahead of the 23rd November PS3 release date. Providing you've got 1GB of hard disk space free.
Toy Home, meanwhile, is a Game Republic-authored racing game where you traverse eight racetracks spread around a house and filled with obstacles. It's got 8-player multiplay but no giant crabs of which we're aware.
Elsewhere on the US PSN shop this week there are loads of trailers - including some for Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, PAIN, Time Crisis 4, Burnout Paradise and Uncharted, and some more Uncharted wallpapers.

News/release from Nherve:
I've here a new pad plugin I wrote. It's MegaPad and it uses SDL. No worry, the latest actual version of the SDL (1.2.12) is provided.
This plugin offers, as LilyPad, a complete pad support, many possibilities, but is much simpler than LilyPad.
First place SDL.dll in the root PCSX2 folder (not the plugins folder), else the plugin won't start.
1. Mapping and config
After having selected MegaPad in the Pad plugins list and launched its GUI by clicking the
Config button, you must configure it. You can select the Pad 1 or the Pad 2 with the
buttons in the top-left corner of the window. For mapping press any of the 20 buttons.
The pressed button will become grayed. Then you can do various things :
a. Keyboard
For the buttons press a key and the selected button will be bound to the pressed key. Pressing
Escape or Backspace allows you to delete a value. For the axes press any key with old versions, or click right button whth new versions, and the selected
axis will be bound to the mouse. Note that if the axes of the 2 players are bound to the mouse,
they will move simultaneously.
b. Joystick
For the buttons press a button, a POV hat in the wanted direction or move an axis in the wanted
direction and it will be bound to the selected button. Note that if you bind an axis to a
pressure-sensitive button*, the pressure will match the value of the axis. Try this feature in
games which need pressure sensitive buttons. For the axes move an axis and it will be bound to
the selected axis. Warning : the GUI has a little difficulty to detect the moves of the vertical
(y) axes, but there is no problem in the games.
c. Misc
There are 4 general options under the mapping buttons.
1. Axis sensitivity : can be 3 values (affect the GUI as the games). This is the sensitivity of the
plugin to axis moves.
-Very sensible : for precision games or low-sensibility axes.
-Normal : default, I recommend you to use it.
-Low sensibility : use it if your axes are very sensible.
2. Enable logging : This enables a pad log stored in logs\megapad_log.txt, which can be used only for
debugging purposes. As mentionned, this logging makes the emu slower.
3. Always show cursor : Use it with ZeroGS if you use the mouse, to see where is the cursor.
4. Low-visibility cross cursor : The arrow cursor is replaced by a low-visibility cross cursor.
Use it if you don't want to see the arrow cursor.
Then click OK.
2. Emu
I think I don't need to detail how to use the keyboard or the joysticks, but I will tell you how does
the mouse support work.
Press the left button for left axis, the right button for right axis. When you release a button, the
corresponding axis will be "centered". When you press a button the cursor is automatically centered.
Move it as an analog axis. When a button is pressed the cursor cannot get out the GS window. The
mouse support has been seriously improved in the new version, axis positions are calculated from
the size of the GS window, so it works better than PadWinKeyb mouse support.
If you encounter any bug using this plugin tell it to me.
Version 1.3.3
The bug on first launch was because PCSX2 does not call PADinit on first launch ("pcsx2 needs to be configured" message), and SDL init is in PADinit. So if PADinit hasn't been called by PCSX2 it is called by the GUI. So the bug that version 1.3.2 was supposed to fix is really fixed here.

News/release from Placo23:
Well, I know it's yet another battery information display at the XMB.
Yesterday a friend asked me how to blit text at the XMB and I've made him an example (thanks for introducing me vshblit coolJ)
As I was bored today and someone asked me about blitting the battery percentage at the XMB, I decided to write this quick app.
It's pretty simple and written in a few lines.
So, if you still don't have such thing, I recommend using mine.
Basically it displays the battery percentage at the top on the left hand side of the XMB, so it won't bother you at all.
I shall be doing some font and colour updates in the next version
Also, there's a read-me in case you don't know how to install it.
Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/69981856/placo23Battery.rar
UPDATE:
This is the verson without the black bakground

Coolj has released an update to the 3.72 HX-1 Custom Firmware, heres the details:
3.72 HX-2 UPDATER
MINI UPDATE INSTALATION:
This updater will update your 3.72 HX-1 to 3.72 HX-2.
Put the EBOOT.PBP in the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE.Run it,it will flash the new files.
FULL UPDATE INSTALATION:
This update will install 3.72 HX-2 on PSP's from 3.71 M33-1 to 3.
Put the EBOOT.PBP and the umodule.prx in the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE together with the 3.72 original EBOOT.PBP renamed to 372.PBP.
Run the updater and follow the instructions.
CHANGES IN THE UPDATER:
- This new updater will prevent that the user shuts the psp down or put it in stand by,some people requested it.
- The new updater will save your recovery configuration for 3.72 HX-2,so no need to put all from 0.
In case the updater can't get the config,put these in enabled:
- skip sony logo
- hide corrupt icons
- Sony UMD mode
- The updater will check if some of the components are corrupt,this was a user request too.
CHANGES:
- Contains the latest 3.71 M33-3 changes.
- The file vshctrl.prx IS NOT the one from Dark_AleX,It's coded by me after reversing it 100%.
The exported functions from the vshctrl.prx are the same like the 3.71 M33-3 SDK,plus two more:
1. int vctrlVSHEraseIsoCache(con st char* path) -> Lets you erase the cache from an iso created by the CF.
If the parameter is empty "",it will erase the whole cache,not just from one iso.
The iso cache will not be created in the memorystick.It will be in the flash1.I made this function to test stuff faster.Gives a 0 if it deletes correctly else it will give -1.
2. int vctrlVSHMakeCFDirs() -> Lets you create the custom firmware directories,in case you dont have them(GAME150,GAME372...)i n the memstick.Good if you have a pandora memstick and cant format the ms but dont want to create all directories by hand.
- Only one vshctrl.prx for both psp models.In 3.71 M33-3 and others there was a vshctrl for the fat and an other one for the slim because they have slight changes.This new vshctrl will detect if you got SLIM or FAT.
- Other non important changes in the code.
_HellDashX_
PS. I dont have much time,so,I still have to update alot of stuff of the custom firmware,create a new recovery, etc,
I release this update because,1- For the people that believe in me and have 3.72 hx-1 so they can have the new 3.71 M33-3 features and to show the people that i dont just do hex edit,you can see it reversing the vshctrl if you dont believe.

I've just finished compiling a shortlist of what I think are the 10 best submissions for the icon competition.
I received just under 200 entries in total; I've been blown away by the response. Picking just 10 entries has been very difficult. In the end I had a 'longlist' of around 30 entries which I thought were superb, and it's taken me over an hour to whittle that down to just 10 entries.
Here is my shortlist, presented in the order they were submitted. Feel free to discuss these in the comments - I'll be reading your comments over the weekend, and I'll pick a final winner on Monday.
Thanks to everyone who entered - you're awesome!

News/release from Vodkkaa:

Pandora Recovery Menu by vodkkaa
~Based on Jas0nuk's Elf_Menu, aswell as code from Chilly Willy, and cory 1492
What it is?
This is a replacement for resurrection.elf of your pandora memory stick. Similar to Jas0nuk's Elf Menu this menu will allow you to launch user created elf/prx/eboot aswell as some useful built in features. It is meant to act as a secondary recovery menu.
THIS OFFERS 100% COMPATIBILITY FOR PHAT PSP, BUT UNKOWN FOR SLIM. as I dont have a slim I have no way to test for it.
Features
--------
- Toggle USB, Flash0, and flash1 from menu
- Battery options (servicemode, autoboot, dump/restore eeprom)
- IDstorage options (currently only dump keys, hopefully some more features in next release)
- Similtanious use of Original pandora menu, aswell as deparator cemetario V3. (a previous issue where flashing a new firmware was broken due to DCv3 is now fixed.)
How to use
you will need:
- PSAR dumper
- 1.50 EBOOT
- Desparator Cemetario V3
1. Dump encrypted 1.50 Eboot using PSAR dumper. Save these files safely on you PC.
2. Now preapre your memory stick with desparator del cemetario V3.
3. Copy your encrypted 1.50 dump (vsh, font, dic, kd, data folder) to the root of you memory stick
4. !!WHEN ASKED TO OVERWRITE HIT NO FOR EVERY FILE!!
5. Copy the provided KD folder to ms0:/kd folder
6. Copy the ELF folder to the root of your MS. Some elfs have been provided. check the "files" folder for descriptions
7. Everything should be ready.
6. Restart your PSP into service mode and you should be presented with the new Pandora Recovery menu.
Extras
Since Im a kind fellow Im also including a modified version of Booster's IPL Milti_Loader. Its only a cosmetic update, allowing you to boot into service mode with Wlan switch up, instead of holding LTrigger.
- To install simply edit the .bat to include the drive letter of your PSP. By default it is M:.
- Connect your PSP and run the bat and the IPL will install. Restart with WLan switch up to boot Pandora.
- Only known issue is that if you put your PSP into stanby, when you return you will boot into the vsh, unless the WLAN switch is up. I havnt looked at the Multiloader source close enough, but I will soon fix this.
Note: Full credit for this should go to Booster, as I only changed 2 lines of code.
Bugs/Known Issues
- From my testing I have not come across any. I have tested all functions of this menu on my PSP and I can safely say there should be no accidents when flashing over usb, writing battery serial code, flashing NAND, etc...

There seemed to be some demand for Sega CD/Mega CD emulator for PSP, so after doing the Gizmondo port I decided to port PicoDrive, my Genesis/MegaDrive/Sega CD/Mega CD emulator, to PSP.
Well I don't really like how it performs (it still needs a bit more work), but I've decided to move to another project, so I thought I better release it as is, then keep it around untouched for months.
There is nothing fancy about this emulator (no dynarecs/asm cores), but it's still able to run many Genesis games fullspeed with no frameskip (including some CD ones), and others with some skipping. However there are some CD games which won't run too well (although situation can be improved by tweaking some options). This emulator uses hardware MP3 decoding via audiocodec library in PSP.
Note that this emu may need some option tweaking to get certain games working. Be sure to check the readme for details.
Finally, I feel I need to give credits several people whose code I used for this release:
* Chui for FAME/C (which is based on C68K by Stéphane Dallongeville, Gens fame)
* NJ for CZ80 (which was also based on Stef's code).
* MAME team for YM2612/SN76489 cores.
* fDave for the original PicoDrive, and Stef again for releasing Gens source, something to base my work on.
* ps2dev.org people for all sample code (cooleyes for libaudiocodec one).

The PlayStation Network has opened up a lot of interesting opportunities for developers, says Naughty Dog's Evan Wells.
In a live text interview with our sister site, Eurogamer.net, the company's co-president said that PSN was definitely something they were interested in.
"I think it could come in handy during some of the transitional roll over periods between games if there hasn't been enough pre-production work done to get started on the next big project," Wells explained.
Although Wells did not elaborate, Naughty Dog could use PSN to provide downloadable content for their latest game, Uncharted, even while working on a sequel. The developer also included medal points in Uncharted, expecting that they could eventually be attached to Home.
He said that it was hard to say whether or not players would be waiting longer between Naughty Dog releases during this hardware generation.
"Even on the PS2 we took two years to develop Jak 1 and 2. It wasn't until later in the generation that we had enough tech built up that we could get the production down to one year.
"I imagine things will be similar this time around."
When asked whether or not the company planned to work on PSP titles, Wells negated the idea. "We want to focus our attention and technological efforts on one platform and one engine," he said, referring to the PS3.
Before the release of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the PS3, Naughty Dog's most recent franchise was the Jak & Daxter series on PS2.
"Everybody here would love to do a Jak game on the PS3. However, I'm not sure about the timing. We want to stick with only working on one game at a time to maintain our focus.
"Everybody is taking a much deserved vacation right now and we will decide what we're doing next when people get back," he explained.

Hey everyone. We know you like to hear about updates a few days in advance, so here's a quick heads up that we have a new System Software update in the works.
Firmware v2.01 is a minor update that will improve the stability of PLAYSTATION 3.
We'll provide more specifics as the update is about to go live, but we thought we'd give loyal blog readers advance notice!

Sony's little baby turns one. The PS3 has been crawling along, but can it walk or maybe even run? Sony is still aiming for 11 million units sold this fiscal year with 160 new games.
According to Sony, the PS3 has now sold 5.6 million units worldwide, 2 million of which have been purchased in North America. The company's worldwide sales goal for next March remains 11 million units. Sony also noted that year to date sales of PS3 in Japan and EMEA outsold Xbox 360 by three-to-one.
In terms of software, 28 million PS3 software units have been sold across the globe, seven million of which were sold in North America. A total of 160 new PS3 titles are expected to be released this fiscal year, including 19 exclusives from first and third party. A total of 23 third parties are creating content for the PS3.
Regarding the PS3's PlayStation Network, Sony said there are three million members currently and over 60 million pieces of content have been downloaded. The "average" PS Network user has downloaded 12.3 pieces of content.
Finally, with respect to Blu-ray, Sony made the following points:
# PS3 Blu-ray currently outsells Xbox 360 HD-DVD 9 to 1.
# A recent Blu-ray Disc adoption survey shows that 87% of PS3 users watch Blu-ray movies, 80% of PS3 users have purchased Blu-ray movies and 82% intend to purchase or rent Blu-ray movies.
# Blu-ray titles continue to outsell HD DVD titles by nearly 2 to1 (Home Media Research, a division of Home Media Magazine).
# There will be more than 450 Blu-ray movies available to PS3 owners this holiday season.

On the 2nd January 2008 Sony are releasing Resident Evil: Extinction is the first Blu-ray movie to use profile 1.1. It is promising to be the most technologically advanced blu-ray movie ever as it will feature true picture in picture and 'Blu-Wizard 2' which will allow your player to 'remember' your viewing preferences for the movie, even after you have ejected it.
Sony are going to want to be sure that the biggest market of Blu-ray consumers, PlayStation 3 owners, will be able to take advantage of these features. So expect a firmware update by the end of 2007.

Mathfacts contacted me a few days ago with news of his new project for the PSP

Heres the release info:
Installation:
Unzip and copy the folders spacewars and spacewars% to your psp\game directory or to your psp\game150 directory
Objective:
Shoot your opponent before he shoots you.
Controls:
See the screen shot below for the controls
Notes:
I wrote this intending to add IR or adhoc connectivity. I was able to add it but, performance was so bad it wasn't usable. So I sorta let this code rot. Recently I picked it back up and pulled out the connectivity code and made it work for two players on the same PSP by isolating the controls to each side. As a side thought I threw in some super simple AI for single player. It's nothing fancy, but maybe you'll get a little enjoyment out of it.

Mia has released a new game for the PSP, heres the details:
Game&Watch Fantasies is a puzzle/platform game for the PSP, inspired by the Game&Watch LCD games.
• Rule #1
Like in a Game&Watch, the hero moves discontinuously. Therefore, he can "teleport" through thin obstacles by simply walking or jumping.
However, the gravity doesn't allow him to do so: it is impossible to go through an obstacle when falling.
• Rule #2
If the obstacle is too large, the hero will move until he touches it.
This property can be used to adjust his horizontal or vertical position, depending on the situation.
• Buttons
◄ / ►: Step left / right
X / O: Jump
∆: Stop / start the music
• Score
Every time the hero steps to the left / right or jumps, a beep can be heard. The aim of the game is to go through all the levels while producing as few beeps as possible.

Mathieulh posted this interesting news :
Not quite a surprise but I rather make it official, after much reflexion Alex decided to go on with the M33 project, although you should not expect as regular updates as there used to be, for instance the M33 will be updated to future kernels only when believed necessary, thus no 3.72M33 planned (we are waiting on future official firmwares and keep improving M33's features from now on.)
Nice to know that when a good firmware update comes from Sony that we may have a new custom firmware shortly after.

Friends,
I've finished my batch utilities to fix various sound pitch bugs in duke3d.
Please read the readme. If you aren't the type to read them, you need to know atleast this:
1. duke3d.grp needs to be in the same directory as pitchfixer.bat
2. You need to run "ncGrouplist duke3d.grp" PRIOR to running pitchfixer.bat
3. Those are the only two commands you need to run.
4. Play the game with a duke that doesn't sound like he just reached puberty.

Sony has slashed the price of the PlayStation 3 development kit by almost half, promising to further reduce costs as more studios adopt the console technology.
The PlayStation 3 Reference Tool will now be available for JPY 950,000 in Japan, USD 10,250 in North America and EUR 7500 [£5,370] in Europe.
"As more and more new titles are developed for the PS3 format, SCEI will significantly reduce the price of the Reference Tool in order to contribute to the cost saving measures of the development community," said the company.
The console giant has also begun to integrate new programming tools into the PlayStation 3 Software Development Kit from SN Systems, including ProDG, SN Distributed Build System, SN Linker and SN Compiler.
As well as new tools, Sony has also added programming functions to the PS3 Debugging Station allowing it to be used alongside the Reference Tool, rather than being used as just a quality assurance system for games in development.

Capcom has told us it is mulling over the idea of including a Resident Evil 5 demo on the European Resident Evil: Extinction Blu-ray disc.
The publisher was responding after a Sony Pictures press release seemed to state that the US Extinction disc would include a demo for Resi 5 and Devil May Cry 4.
Not so, said Capcom over here - they are instead trailers of the games, and indeed trailers we have already seen.
However, this is a US-only promotion and nothing has been decided for Europe, and the publisher left it open-ended after suggesting it might include "something" on our version. That "something" would certainly help sales of the film.
Resident Evil 5 is due out on 360 and PS3 next year, but is a title Capcom has hidden from the public eye in favour of more imminent release Devil May Cry 4.

Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells has just completed a live interview with you about Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and a host of other things - including confirmation that he would like to do a Jak game for PS3 and his views on next-gen console development and the recent Manhunt 2 fiasco.
"Everybody here would love to do a Jak game on the PS3," Wells said in answer to a question from kissthestick. "However, I'm not sure about the timing. We want to stick with only working on one game at a time to maintain our focus. Everybody is taking a much deserved vacation right now and we will decide what we're doing next when people get back."
Wells also addressed Obli's query about whether Uncharted would be possible on Xbox 360. "I won't say that it would be impossible," he answered, "but it would be very difficult and we most certainly would have to make enough concessions that it would start to feel like a different game. One thing that would be particularly difficult would be keeping the game load-free. The HDD really came in handy and allowed us to have pretty big open levels with lots of detail."
There was a lot more to get through during the hour-long head-to-lots-of-heads, but another response that stuck out was his reaction to SeeThroughAll's question about the Manhunt 2 ban and whether the game's violence justified the degree of censorship the game faced. Answering from a US perspective, Wells wrote: "I don't think that video games should be treated differently than other forms of media or entertainment. I think there is a place in this world for titles that should only be played by those over 18.
"Our problem is right now is that we [in America] don't have any retailers who are willing to sell those games, therefore you end up 'banning' the game by giving it such a rating.
"However, I really don't see the appeal of the game and I really do think they are just using the shock factor to try to sell a mediocre (at best) game. I would much prefer to see somebody make something with a little more substance that still pushed the artistic boundaries of our industry."
To read the entire transcript, which also includes some neat insider information about Uncharted - and even its relationship with PlayStation Home - head over to the Evan Wells interview. Thanks again to Evan for all his time, and to you for yours! And look out for more of these features in future.

Sega's director of artists and repertoire agrees with analysts who think that the PS3 is going to catch up to, if not surpass, the Xbox 360.
It isn't just the recent PS3 price cuts which will certainly help bridge the gap, but the availability of big titles, Noah Musler told GamesIndustry.biz.
"Microsoft has done a good job of closing the gap between the platforms. I don't think they are in the situation they were in with the PS2 and Xbox 1, but it is still too soon to say," Musler remarked.
He notes that analysts think the PS2 could remain viable through 2009.
Having a variety of PS3 prices for consumers is certainly not going to hurt the PS3. "I think it has still got a little bit of time to grow," he said.
"Fortunately, there are a lot of videogame consumers out there, and the market continues to grow.
"People want to play games, and the games keep getting better. The development community is really driving that by making great product."
The second part of our interview with Noah Musler can be viewed here.

There is supposedly a fix for PS3 owners that have whipped up the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed this weekend only to find it crashing frequently.
Reported earlier, many of the game's bugs on the PS3 version have been (unofficially) linked to the FW 2.0 update, which is said to have been causing all manner of problems since its release.
But according to bloggers, PS3 users can fix some of the issues temporarily simply by disabling the Information Board on the 2.0 FW front-end menu, and disconnecting their PS3 from the (online) PSN while they play Ubisoft's adventure.
This will apparently cut down the frequency of the crashing.
Let us know if it works for you in the comments below, and sit tight for Sony's 2.01 update soon, which should sort out all the problems so you don't have to fool around with system options.

The PS3 version of the initially Xbox 360-exclusive shooter, Lost Planet, will be out in February 2008, according to reports.
Previously the PS3 version of the game was down for release 'early next year'. Capcom was unavailable for comment on the February '08 date at the time of writing.
As announced back in October, the PS3 edition features all the download content released for the original Xbox 360 version of the game, in addition to bonus multiplayer characters - Frank West (Dead Rising), Mega Man and Jo from Lost Planet - that were released for Lost Planet on PC.
It is also reported to include online multiplayer for up to 16 players, via the free-to-use PlayStation Network.

An employee of comic publisher Top Cow Comics - which produces The Darkness comic series - has apparently let slip that a sequel to The Darkness game is in the works.
According to reports, developer Starbreeze Studios is currently hard at work on the second moody horror quest, said to be for Xbox 360 and PS3, for a late 2008/early 2009 release.
No further specifics were leaked, although the sequel is said to follow on directly from events in the first bloodbath of a game, which we enjoyed very much.
2K Games dismisses the chatter as "just a rumour", refusing to comment further on the matter.

Mr Peanut a few days ago posted about the released of Duke Nukem 3D for PSP build 97, heres the info:
JFDuke3D for PSP is a source port of Duke Nukem 3D for the Sony Playstation Portable console. More specifically, it's a port of Johnathan Fowler's JonoF Duke 3D engine to the PSP. You can read more about his work at http://jonof.id.au/index.php?p=jfduke3d.
The only thing that was changed was disabling FMV so the game won't crash during those points. I haven't yet gotten to the point to work on the FMV code. I'm more or less concerned with the sound pitch problem (fixed) and adding custom map support (working on) Look in the Other Tools section for details on fixing the pitch duke, or any other sound that's off.

Updated release from Placo23:
This is the version 0.2 of the plugin. Some bugs were fixed and some improvements done.
The font used now is white and much better and there's no more annoying black background.
There's some very cool stuff on the way. I just dropped this update so people would see that the project is not dead
For those who don't know this plugin:
Basically it displays the battery percentage at the top on the left hand side of the XMB, so it won't bother you at all.
More info and changelog at the readme.

News from our friend StrmnNrmn:
This has been one of the hardest posts I've had to write, because I know whichever entry I pick as winner of the icon competition, a lot of people are going to be disappointed that I didn't pick their favourite.
Trying to select a winner has forced me to think about what I wanted to get out of this competition. On the surface, the main goal of the competition was just to replace the ugly default icon on the PSP's XMB. However as I've checked out all the entries over the past couple of weeks, I've come to realise that the main objective of the competition should be to define an identity for Daedalus.
In the end, one of the main criteria I've used to select the winner is how well the design works as a logo, or identity, for the project as a whole. For this reason I've picked Patrick Ahmann's design:
I think Patrick's design is wonderfully clean and stylish, and the colours look especially crisp and vibrant on the PSP's screen*. The typography, particularly for the 'daedalus' logo is very simple and distinctive and I think it would work well as a logo on the web. What's more, I got quite excited about using the cog motif on the logo as a progress indicator on loading screens
So, well done Patrick!
I want to say a big 'thank you' to everyone who contributed. Many people put a lot of work into this and I'm really sorry that I could only pick one winner. I think the quality of the final 10 was excellent, so if you disagree with my choice hopefully there's something there for you
-StrmnNrmn

Now that StrmnNrmn has finished choosing his official icon for Daedalus R14+, it got me thinking and this is what I came up with. The icon the StrmnNrmn picked wasn't the favorite icon for all of us, but what was good was all the choices we got and how much better it was for the community as a whole. Now StrmnNrmn said that he didn't want any Nintendo copyrighted stuff in his icons but for this thread I think the Nintendo characters and such make the icons better. So I'm asking you guys if you entered his competetion and sent in an icon then to post it here. Any of you that are artists or have made Daedalus icons in the past to post them here so everyone can see them. Alot of the great icons that were sent in never got seen by everyone so this is a chance to get your icon seen. So anyone out there that has an icon or background or even music to go with the icon to post it here and let people have more options to what icons to use for Daedalus. You can use any Nintendo logo or whatever you got in this thread, and be creative as possible. If you want to make your icons even better keep in mind how the menu and such in Daedalus look so you can possibly match the icons with that. So anyone out there post away have fun with this, maybe your icons will get used by hundreds!
--- For fun this is the icon I use, and who knows maybe you could get me to change it

fixed incorrect CZ80 memory map setup, which caused Z80 crashes and graphics corruption in EU Mega CD model1 BIOS menus.
added additional "set to 4:3 scaled" display option for convenience.
added an option to disable frame limitter (works only with non-auto frameskip).

Fans of the original NiGHTS Into Dreams have been watching the development of the Wii sequel, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams with a delightful mixture of joy and anxiety, fearing their beloved title would be marred by the shaky hand of a Sega not quit as sure of themselves as they were back in the days of the Saturn. In an absolutely wondrous turn of events, those players need not worry about getting their NiGHTS on proper, as long as they have a PlayStation 2 around. Famitsu has revealed that a port of the original game will be hitting the PS2 this February in Japan, complete with updated graphics and 16:9 modes for those newfangled wide screen televisions we keep hearing about. For me this is even better news than the Wii sequel. Screw Journey of Dreams - this is all I wanted. Slip Christmas NiGHTS in there as a bonus and I'm set for another 10 years.

At Square-Enix’s fiscal meeting they candidly mentioned the White Engine development is moving at a sluggish pace. However, they are not abandoning creating their in house engine. Since the engine is the backbone for Final Fantasy XIII it seems likely that the Playstation 3 game will be further delayed. Square-Enix did not mention a date for Final Fantasy XIII (maybe now 2009? edit: this date is just me speculating) or Dragon Quest IX, which was originally slated to come out this year.
It’s not all gloom for Square-Enix. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII sold quite well in Japan with 710,000 copies in the market. Itadaki Street DS was a hit with 410,000 copies sold, just to put that in perspective It’s a Wonderful World only sold 180,000 units.

If the bevy of holiday titles hitting store shelves this month wasn't enough to satisfy your craving for new news, today's weekly ESRB rating report unofficially announced two games coming Sony's way -- Aquatopia and Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship.
Little is know about Aquatopia, a title listed for the PlayStation 3 and as being published by Sony Computer Entertainment America, but the title is rated E. A Sony rep promised more information later this week. PlayStation 3 already has two games with "aqua" in the title in other regions -- one is a Japanese sequel to ArtDink's Aquanaut's Holiday games from PS1 called "Aqua" and the other an interactive fish tank called "Aqua Viat" that players can interact with via the PlayStation Eye -- and either one of these may be what SCE is releasing in North America as Aquatopia. Either that, or it's now a third game with "Aqua" in the name. Let's hope they never make a game based on the band "Aqua."
Where's Bumpy Trot?The other title on this week's list is Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship. Published by Majesco, Blokus is an English translation of the 2006 PSP Japanese puzzler Blocks Club with Bumpy Trot. A Majesco representative told us an official announcement, screens and more will become available next week, so keep an eye out for that.

Back in 2006 Sony Computer Entertainment Europe brought B-Boy out to the market. The title is a competitive dance game where you create a breaker and battle your way up the ranks without using a dance pad.
While B-Boy was designed for Europe, Crazy Legs and other members of the Rock Steady Crew from New York starred in the game. Time passed, Sony never mentioned it at any conferences and then B-Boy slipped into Korea. It looked like it was never coming out in North America, but we’ve got a hopeful sign. Gamefly has listings up for the Playstation 2 and PSP version of the game. Both are scheduled to ship on February 7, 2008, but Sony isn’t mentioned as the publisher. If Gamefly’s records are correct, South Peak Interactive picked up the title instead.

Acclaimed Fahrenheit developer Quantic Dream has bought the latest motion capture technology from Vicon for its top secret PlayStation 3 exclusive.
The studio has already been installed at Quantic Dream, with the developer hard at work on four month's worth of motion capture for the Sony title.
"Our objective is to make this media a mainstream entertainment form with high creative expectations," commented Guillaume de Fondaumière, Co-CEO at Quantic Dream.
"To do so, we have invented our own format called 'interactive cinema' in which realistic, believable characters play a central role. To us, the only way to reach the level of quality we were targeting for the animation of our characters was to use Vicon motion capture," he said.
Sony announced the PS3 project with Quantic Dream in July this year. The developer is also hiring out the new studio to other development teams.
"Demand has been immediate and we have actually already started to rent the system to high-profile video game and advertising clients. Our new studio is fully installed and is functioning almost every day either for complex full body or facial captures," added Fondaumière.

Alright folks, Sony has released version 2.01 for the PS3. You can download direct via your console in System Update or use your computer and place the update packge on removable media (like a flash drive or burnt to a disk). The changelog from 2.00 is as follows:
- New for 2.01: System stability during use of some PLAYSTATION®3 format software has been improved.
- New for 2.01: System stability has been improved for some operations, including the use of the Internet browser and the (Information Board).
- New for 2.01: System stability during output of upscaled PlayStation®2 format software images has been improved.*1
- New for 2.01: Functionality of the [Remote Start] feature has been changed to prevent an unintentional remote start. *2
*1 Applies only to models that support playback of PlayStation®2 format software.
*2 If [Remote Start via the Internet] is enabled, the PS3™ system may turn on unintentionally, depending on the type of router in use. (In this case a remote play connection cannot be established.) To avoid unintentional power-up of the system, [Remote Start via the Internet] may be disabled automatically if a remote play connection is not established within a certain amount of time after the system is turned on.

SEGA Europe has offered no comment over reports that a remake of Saturn game NiGHTS: Into Dreams is heading to PS2 early next year.
Word spilled originally from Japanese magazine Famitsu (translated by IGN), which said the iconic title would be getting 16:9 support and upgraded visuals, as well as an illustration gallery and movie viewer.
Apparently the game is set to launch in Japan on 21st February 2008, and it will also be introduced at a budget price point - alongside a Nightopia Dream Pack that has the all important picture book inside.
Whether SEGA Europe's silence suggests it is a Japan-only offer is unclear, but we expect more to become clear as we get close to Wii game NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams release in January.

Today's 2.01 PS3 firmware update was released solely to fix instability issues on the console, but it's suspected it may have done the complete opposite for Activision's best-FPS-on-the-platform shooter, Call of Duty 4.
Dozens of angry gamers have hit the official forums to report that, since updating their PS3s this morning, they have been unable to play the online mode in the game. They obviously blame Sony's new firmware.
Some users, however, say they managed around two hours of play after updating before the errors began to occur. So is the FW update at fault? Or something else? CoD 4 servers have been annoyingly temperamental over the past few days...
We spoke with both Sony and Activision, both seemingly oblivious to the problem, but we hope to update with their feedback soon.
Meanwhile, our office PS3, running the new 2.01 firmware, is playing CoD 4 online as normal. It took around 10 minutes to log on (which is still not good), but it's working just fine now.
[Thanks to the friendly reader (we'll guess your name's Dave) for the tip]

Dynasty Warriors 6, the latest in the brawler series that, for some strange reason, seems to have gamers in the Far East going bananas for it, will be out in British stores from March 7 for 360 and PS3.
DW6 sticks to the same formula of previous games of the series - you run around fields in an ancient China setting and batter the snot out of swarm after swarm of enemy guards.
Koei says that a new graphics engine makes this "by far the most impressive looking Dynasty Warriors yet," not that Dynasty Warriors has ever struck as being particularly pretty.
We've got 12 new screens below anyway, so you can decide for yourself.

News from Benhur:
Here's a simple solution to use (all of) the genuine PSP fonts:
It features the stuff you see above plus: variable size glyph cache, pre-caching, fast speed (as little as 35ms initial loadtime per font; up to 100,000 chars/sec), low memory requirements (as little as 66kB per font) and no dependencies (e.g. freetype).
Download: http://www.psp-programming.com/benhur
The archive contains samples for GU and graphics.h - just look at them to see how to use intraFont and read the readme.
(If you used pgeFont by InsertWittyName ( http://insomniac.0x89.org) before: you'll feel right at home since intraFont uses parts of pgeFont - but intraFont doesn't need the freetype library!)
Let me know what you think and have fun!

News/release from Bumuckl & Team Nitr0core:
Bumuckl & Team Nitr0core proudly present: Motion Pong 0.1 xD
Motion Pong actually has been developed for the "Neoflash PSP Motion Kit".
It is a simple pong-game. The difference to other pong-games are the controls.You do not move the paddle with any keys, you just move it via the Motion Kit.That means you can move the paddle by tilting your PSP.
Attention: The Paddle-bot is extremely hard to defeat...it is possible, but extremely hard!Maybe I've to fix that...
There are two versions, the Motion Kit one and the psp-keys one.
That means, the guys that do not have a Motion Kit can play as well^^...

Best Buy has responded to Internet reports that, despite midnight openings across the US, the retailer did not receive its anticipated shipments of EA's Rock Band.
"Best Buy tries to ensure that all customers can get the products they want in our stores. Sometimes situations beyond our control such as shipping and freight issues can make it difficult for a customer to obtain what they are looking for," Best Buy's Emily Schroeder told GamesIndustry.biz.
Schroeder confirmed that many Best Buy locations did not receive the anticipated shipments in time for midnight openings or for Tuesday morning sales.
"We have been working with the vendor and shipping companies to remedy this situation for our customers and expect to receive shipments on Tuesday, November 20 and Wednesday, November 21," she said.
During a conference call to investors earlier this month, EA's CEO John Riccitiello anticipated Rock Band supply problems, noting that EA won't initially be able to produce enough supply to meet the expected demand.

ChickenLiver has updated his Pad Plugin for the PS2 Emulator PCSX2:
Heres whats new:
The addition of the vibration test and my fix for the small motor makes it obvious I'd been flipping the small and large motors' vibration values. 0.8.2 fixes that. Should probably have tested it more from the start, but I'm not a big fan of vibration, in general (Just think supporting it is nifty). Sorry for all the releases. Hope this is the last for a while...Until someone discovers a bug or suggests a nifty feature, at least.
0.8.1
Fixed newly bound force feedback devices initially displaying 0 sensitivity.
Added "Test FF" button.
0.8.0
Added option to allow multiple bindings to a single direct input object (Doesn´t work with windows messaging or raw input. Does allow you to configure multiple force feedback axes independently).
Fixed key release event. Thought event=0 was key up, 1 was key down, but 2 is actually key down. Only seems to matter when navigating through save states. Notice that SSSPSX makes the same assumption I do. This is what happens when plugin specifications are incomplete. Smile
Right shift sent to PCSX2 as a generic shift when using an input mode that distinguishes between the two shift keys.
Fixed bug that would cause LilyPad to ignore slight movements of analog axes.
64-bit dll fixed. No longer fails to load, complaining about being unable to find MSVCR80.dll.
Removed a couple older pretty ineffective hacks that had been aimed at increasing stability when pausing emulation. Note that there are not the hacks listed on the first configuration screen.
Changed center for analog sticks from 127 to 128. Not sure which is correct, or if it´s actually in between, but other pads plugins all seem to use 128. Shouldn´t make any noticeable difference.
Modified handling of some PS2 pad configuration commands. May now work in some games that didn´t recognize it as a dualshock 2 controller (Or as any controller).
Fixed issue with not saving some settings on the general screen to file.
Added simple but nasty hack to prevent potential crash when quitting by closing the command window while the emulator is still running. Issue was that I was trying to cleanup my DirectInput objects when the dll unloaded, and (Apparently) the DirectInput dlls had already been unloaded.
Added PADupdate() support. If the emulator supports it, DirectInput controller state is only checked when it´s called. Note that this may reduces responsiveness when frame rate drops to almost nothing. Or it may not. Could also introduce some threading issues (In particular with vibration), though I haven´t run into any yet.
Added option for monitoring game devices when in the background. Mostly added because I always forget to refocus the emulator window after changing to another window.
Fixed handling of mouse buttons 4 and 5 under Windows messaging.
Escape will now always cause emulator to stop (Even when keyboard mode is disabled). Wasn´t working under Windows messaging mode.
Raw input keyboard mode should no longer cause it to crash.
Mouse cursor not being hidden in Windows messaging mode fixed.
Dropped SIO support. Even if the PAD functions are supposedly depricated, doesn´t look like SIO will be used by PCSX2 any time soon.
Will save general settings for pads 1 and 2 even when no controls are configured for that pad.
DirectInput devices are a bit more responsive when binding them in the config screen.

More on the subject this time from Engadget

The online Playstation Store for the PSP just quietly went live on our side of the world with two downloadable PSP titles, 16 PSone titles, and a handful of themes, wallpapers, and videos. Wipeout Pure and Syphon Filter: Combat Ops are the first two $10 PSP games out of the gate, and highlights of the PSone list include Twisted Metal 2, Crash Bandicoot, and Tekken 2, all for $6. The store requires the download of a Windows-only loader app to transfer files to your PSP -- and now, after waiting all this time for PS3-free downloads, we're kinda wondering why we can't sync up over WiFi. Eh, don't let our grumpy whining bother you -- go get your game on and let us know how things are working for you in comments.

Via http://psp.scenebeta.com/.
Pana has just released an original application called "PSP Trafico Test" (PSP Driving Licence translated into English). Its a LUA coded appz that doesnt require LUA Player (but for the moment, this is no PSP Slim compatible).
Using this Homebrew, we will be able to make some tests, in order to get Driving Licence in Spain. We even can use the integrated chronometer to check if we can answer the 40 questions in time (oficial exam must be answered in half an hour).
Very usefull if you are planning to come to Spain to live in . Also, it could be usefull to practise this language, or even to give an idea to a bored coder (an English coder could make something similar).
Controls
- Square - Selects option A.
- X - Selects option B.
- O - Selects option C.
Enjoy!

Sony CEO Howard Stringer has said that he is confident of the PlayStation 3's current sales performance, comparing the momentum of the new console to that of the early days of the PlayStation 2.
"The momentum shift and the energy behind PS3 in time for Christmas is extremely fortuitous," said Stringer in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"It was planned by the PlayStation group, but I think this momentum now – particularly the number of games coming out, including our own as well as third-party – is the same as it was with PlayStation 2," he said.
Stringer dismissed the suggestion that the PlayStation 3 is taking longer to establish itself with the development community, saying that creating for a brand new format simply takes time.
"[The PS3 is] not behind the curve compared to PlayStation 2 in terms of momentum.
"The amount of bandwidth and the processing power of Cell gives game manufacturers a lot more work to do to use this system to its full benefit – and it's taken a while to do it. The same was true of the PlayStation 2," he added.

Finally, you should be able to turn on your PS3 today and shoot some faces online in Call of Duty 4 without any friggin' error message ruining the fun, as Infinity Ward has fixed the servers.
The game's online mode has been fraught with problems since release, first with a complete online failure when the servers were apparently "slammed" by legions of players, then further issues again yesterday, coincidentally just after Sony released PS3 firmware 2.01.
But everything should be fine now, as Infinity Ward's community relations manager, Robert Bowling, confirmed today: "You should no longer be receiving this error message or any other issues related to the firmware update in the game."
He added: "Thank you to everyone for giving us the heads up on this so we could start tracking down answers, and getting it resolved and please let us know if you have any additional issues."
We're sure you will.

Harmonix says that it's not its fault if Guitar Hero controllers don't work with the PS3 version of Rock Band, which they don't.
The game, which is available in the US this week for PS3 and 360, comes as a bundle containing microphone, drums and one guitar, but in order to play four-player you need to source a second axe.
Harmonix has said in the past that Guitar Hero peripherals should be compatible, and while this is true on 360, PS3 owners are discovering it's not the case with the Guitar Hero III wireless Les Paul controller.
"Harmonix develops and bases all of our games, guitars and other peripherals on open standards established by platform manufacturers such as Microsoft and Sony. Rock Band is no exception and supports an open controller standard," the developer said in a statement on IGN.
"If a third party game controller is based on open standards, then it should work with Rock Band as well. If certain controllers do not work with Rock Band, questions about those controllers should be directed to the peripheral manufacturer."
The developer also said that it welcomed third parties to support Rock Band hardware.
At a distance, you might question whether it's naive of Rock Band buyers to assume compatibility with a rival product, but positive responses during development certainly appear now to have been misleadingly confident, and the fact that the game is only available to US consumers as a multi-instrument bundle merely exacerbates things in the eyes of the many people rioting on the official forums.
With the bundle itself in short supply, it could be a while before anyone's placated.
Anyway, look out for our Rock Band review in the near future!

"We had our best programmers on the PS3 [version of Call of Duty] and it shows," Infinity Ward studio head Vince Zampella has bellowed. He's been explaining why Sony's edition has a bigger online capacity (24 max players vs 360's 18) and, according to those with cyborg-eyes, improved visuals.
"We had two separate teams working on both versions from the start," Zampella says, "Most developers only focus on a single platform, then quickly port the game over to another one. You don't get very good results that way".
Zampella was speaking to PSM3 magazine as part of a feature examining PS3 game delays. His words should give Sony fanboys some much-needed ammo. Grab a copy of the Christmas edition of PSM3, issue #95, on sale from tomorrow, for the full exploro-feature.

The US PlayStation 3 Store says hello to a pair of new PlayStation Eye games this week, and what with it being Thanksgiving Sony has also slashed the prices on four other downloadable games.
The two PS Eye games are called Operation Creature Feature (USD 4.99 / 135MB) and Aquatopia (USD 1.99 / 38.9MB). The former sounds like a sort of Lemmings game based on hand movements, while the latter is an interactive fish tank where "you can even feed them by dabbing your hands in the top of the water".
The four games undergoing cheapening, meanwhile, are Calling All Cars, flOw, PixelJunk Racers, Everyday Shooter. All are reduced to USD 4.99 until 29th November to celebrate when some pilgrims did something involving boats and crabs, or whatever nonsense it is that nets them this ludicrous auxiliary Christmas.
Also on the store this week in Americaland are an MX vs. ATV Untamed demo (714MB) to accompany yesterday's Xbox Live version, a downloadable pack for flOw which adds a new campaign and playable creature as well as "added Camera food" (for USD 2.99), a Need For Speed ProStreet Collector's Edition Upgrade (USD 9.99), which adds five exclusive cars and four additional career race-days, and the previously detailed Rock Band content including tracks by Metallica, The Police and Queens of the Stone Age.
For more on those two PlayStation Eye games, check out our Operation: Creature Feature and Aquatopia screenshots, stolen rather pathetically from the US Sony blog post revealing them. In fact, don't even click our links. We're ashamed.

Talk of Sony making a PlayStation Phone has erupted on the internet once again as Sony Computer Entertainment's co-chief operating officer, Jim Ryan, states that such a gadget is "definitely plausible".
Speaking to the Economic Times, Ryan said, "The PlayStation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console oriented phone."
He goes on to comment: "What has been done is finding a match between a camera and a mobile phone, and that has been done wherein the mobile phone features are not reasonably inhibited and the camera is also a reasonably competitive product. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console-oriented phone".
Ryan later explains that, should such a device work well, the phone functionality would have to be built into a primarily game-playing machine, not the other way around like cameras in phones.
He makes no mention of when a so-called PlayStation Phone device may actually come into fruition.
This follows previous rumours sparked off by a patent filled by Sony Japan's Ericsson Mobile Communications dept. for a PSP-looking, phone-enabled device back in November last year. Check that out here, if you can be arsed to read through lines of repetitive, over-complicated jargon.

The Sony PSP Store for the PC launched last night with a downloadable line-up headed up by a PSP version of PS3 titles Go! Puzzle and Go! Sudoku, downloadable versions of UMD games B-Boy and Fired up, and something else - a rhythm-action game called Beats. We had a quick play to see what it's like.
Once you go through the PSP Store download process (which involves logging in with your PSN account, making the purchase and then using a special PSN download manager program to transfer the game directly to your Memory Stick), and select it from the Game menu on the XMB, you're shown to nice orange title screen which lets you pick between the two main game modes - My Music Challenge and Jamming - or other set-up options.
Beats is a fairly straightforward button-matching music game, but the twist is that you can use your own music. When you go into the My Music Challenge, you're invited to pick a song from among any MP3s stored on your Memory Stick, and then select a difficulty level. You're then presented with a fairly simple screen with a trio of circle in the middle. As the music starts to play, little face-button icons (squares, circles, Xs, triangles) move towards these little circles, and it's your job to press them as they move over one.
If they're approaching the centre circle, you just press the corresponding button. However, if they are going towards the left one, you hold left on the d-pad at the same time, and so on for the right-hand circle. Vertical bars on either side of the play area tot up your points multiplier (which increases as you match more beats without missing any out) and collect "overdrive" power as you correctly match special flashing versions of the normal icons.
Naturally the idea is that the icons move across the screen in varying sequences and rhythms that match the tone and tempo of your chosen track, and the effect was pretty reasonable on our first few attempts. There's a slight amount of frame-rate drop as the beat-matching kicks off a minor firework display in the background, but it's not particularly intrusive.
Beats also includes a Jamming mode, where you can create songs using a selection of instrumental loops, and this mode supports up to four players. You can then also your compositions via Game sharing. Other options allow you to change the game's background theme - which incorporates either static or dynamic (so, wobbly) visual elements in addition to signature music - or the visualiser that goes along with the beat-matching. Again, there are quite a few provided with the game.
Anyway, whether it all amounts to GBP 4.99 worth of value over the long haul will be up to one of our reviewers to decide in due course, but for now that's Beats - an interesting little rhythm game and the sort of little project it's always nice to see Sony doodling around the margins. Works quite well with Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire, or you could just listen to your CDs and drum your fingers on the desk. You decide.

The newly-launched PlayStation Store for PC does not spell the end of the road for Sony's Universal Media Disc format, according to Darren Cairns, head of online marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
He told GamesIndustry.biz: "The UMD business is still good for us and our publishers. It's still a burgeoning market, and we're still selling a large number of PSPs on a weekly basis, so there are a large number of new people coming into the market."
The potential to offer titles at a lower price point, because the costs of production and retail are cut, might seem like good news for gamers - but there are no plans to head down that path any time soon.
"I don't think that this would give us any cause for concern over UMD, I think they sit very well together. When you talk about the more casual games, pick-up-and-play games, you would definitely want to put them through the Store rather than have disc production, in to retail, and so on."
When asked if he felt that the Store could go on and offer a much wider selection of general entertainment media in the future - building on the current film trailers available and adding music tracks and video perhaps - he reiterated that the focus to begin with was on games.
"The PC Store is very much targeted at getting lots of really good game content at the start for the millions of PSP users that we've got. Longer term, the PlayStation Store is predominantly for game content for day one and we're working on the plans to build that out after.
"For us being able to deploy and push additional content, whether it's an additional overlay for a GPS or whatever, it's important going forward. But what we wanted to do was really establish the PlayStation Store on the PC, as it is already on the PS3."
The downloads themselves currently have no defined size limit, and they will vary according to game title. As an example the Bboy full game download weighs in at around 835MB, but full titles won't necessarily include all content found on the corresponding retail UMD.

Oblivion expansion Shivering Isles is to release as a digital download for PS3.
According to Bethesda, the expansion will be available on PSN as of November 29, although it's not yet confirmed how much it'll cost. It also appears that initially the download will only be available in North American, where Shivering Isles has just shipped on disc.
The expansion features 30-plus hours of new adventuring, new quests, monsters and expanded freeform gameplay.
Presumably Shivering Isles hitting PSN will pave the way for further DLC for Oblivion on PS3.

Uberjack has released a new emulator for the PSP, heres the release details:
Caprice32 4.2.0.0 is the latest addition to the collection of emulators. It’s an Amstrad CPC emulator, and is my second choice for a port. My initial attempt was to port Arnold, which is a (arguably) more accurate emulator, but due to its poor performance on the PSP (~15 fps), the idea was scrapped.
Caprice32 is a lot faster, though the rendering subsystem used in the current version is from version 4.1.0, for performance reasons. If/when the renderer is optimized, the PSP port will be updated to reflect the change.
Current version is also missing ZIP file support - this will be implemented if enough people express interest.
