* And by complete, we mean complete complete. Sony says — and you may already have heard this figure tossed around — that there's some 420 hours worth of play time in Resistance 2 required to unlock everything.
Thankfully, for at least my own review purposes, the single player campaign should take you about 9 to 11 hours to burn through. That's totally reasonable. But if you plan on dedicating the time to do everything, unlock every level, find every briefing, max out every class, you've got about 18 days of your life ahead of you just playing R2.
And if you do, you're a more dedicated man than me.

Is it me, or is gaming relying more and more on social media networks? Time was, gaming was this dirty, solitary habit you did in your mom’s basement or in a darkened corner of your dad’s study. You didn’t talk about it, you didn’t brag about it, and (even if you wanted to), you couldn’t show off your gaming accomplishments.
Nowadays, if you don’t have an Achievement score of at least 14000, you’re probably going to catch heat about it – in real life. Gamertags, friend codes and even guilds are increasingly important parts of your gaming experience, even if you’re not into competitive multiplayer games.
So, logically, Sony wants to step that up and incorporate even more stuff into your social gaming experience. But instead of just adding Trophies and an avatar system (in the mode of “me too!” one-upmanship we usually see between Xbox and PlayStation), they’ve made an entire virtual world that’s supposed to bring your gaming, your music, your movies and even your sense of style all together in one place. This is definitely a step up from the Mii Plaza.
So how well does it work? It’s too soon to weigh in on technical flaws, but the three years of development definitely shows in how smooth the test environment runs, how detailed the avatar design system is and in the sheer amount of stuff there is to do in Home.

Sony Computer Entertainment America has filed a new U.S. patent describing a controller that employs "hybrid video capture and ultrasonic tracking" technology.
The patent states that the system senses the movement of "one or more" controllers in a 3D space.
From the patent's abstract: "The captured video information is used to identify a horizontal and vertical position for each controller within a capture area. The ultrasonic tracking system analyzes sound communications to determine the distances between the game system and each controller and to determine the distances among the controllers. The distances are then analyzed by the game interface to calculate the depths within the capture area for each controller."

There's no doubt that Microsoft's Xbox 360 will have the price advantage this holiday season, and if you were hoping to see a bona fide price cut following Sony's introduction of the $399.99 80GB PlayStation 3, you'll probably be waiting 'til late 2009. Speaking at the Gamer 3.0 conference in London this week, Sony's own Ray Maguire was quoted as saying that the pressure for a price drop from consumers was always there, but given that it "has a business to run" and shareholders to please, it probably won't be decreasing the PS3's price before the end of 2008.

News/release from Torch
This is a simple plugin I made a long time ago for my personal use. I just found the source code while going through some old stuff on my computer, so I thought I'd clean up the code a bit and release the plugin.
I realize that there are other plugins that feature similar functionality but I wrote my own because I wanted to be sure its coded optimally, as there are a few careless ways in which these functions can be improperly used (the point of this after all is to conserve battery life).
It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 60MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode. LEDs are flashed once in 30 seconds so that the PSP is not mistaken to be powered off.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.
Usage:
Turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU. Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning on the Hold switch, it will only lock the keypad like normal hold mode. The display and CPU speed will not be changed, so that you can watch videos etc. with the keypad locked.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning off the Hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. To return to normal, push the power switch to the suspend position, or just press the Screen button.
While the PSP is in hold mode, if you first hold down the Select button, you can use the following buttons: Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Vol+, Vol-, Start.
Installation:
You can install it in the seplugins folder, and make an entry in VSH.txt. Thus it will be active in the XMB. Its also possible to use it in games by adding it to GAME.txt, but some games may crash etc., if the CPU is underclocked to such a low value.
Optionally, its also possible to install it in your PSP's flash0 so that it will work without a Memory Stick. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it before vshmain.prx.
Advanced:
If you want to change the clock speed to your own values, you can use a hex editor to change them. The offsets in the file for v3.2 are
0xD98 - CPU
0xD9C - Bus (Should be half the CPU speed or less)
The values should be entered in hexadecimal. The default value for CPU is 3C (60 MHz in decimal) and the default value for Bus is 1E (30 MHz in decimal).
Note that simply using any arbitrary value will not work. You will have to test and see which values for CPU and Bus speed work.
Credits:
Thanks to adrahil for helping with preventing the suspend mode.
Thanks to Booster for the SysCon Hook sample, based on which Hold+ v3.0 was updated.
Thanks to Total_Noob; As his plugin MusicHold was not compatible with Hold+, with his permission I've implemented the same features in Hold+ v3.0 for people who wanted some buttons to be usable in hold mode.
Spoiler for Changelog:
Changelog v3.2
----------------------------------
Fixed a bug where after you exit a Photo or the Browser, the battery icon would keep disappearing and reappearing.
Fixed a bug where each time you exit a Photo or the Browser, the first time you turn on Hold after that it would only go to Normal Hold mode.
Changelog v3.1
----------------------------------
Reduced CPU usage by delaying longer in main loop. Since v3.0 the main loop doesn't do much so it needn't run as fast as before. This *should* alleviate problems with the battery icon.
Now its not possible to accidently press 'other' buttons in hold mode while holding Select button. Ex: If you are holding Select + VolUp to increase volume, and you accidently press X, the X button will not have effect.
Changelog v3.0
----------------------------------
Completely overhauled the plugin to work using only the SysCon functions based on Booster's example.
The prevention of accidental suspend was changed to Booster's method as that is more efficient.
In Display Off mode, pressing the Screen button to return to normal no longer causes the firmware's internal brightness variable to become one step higher than the original screen brightness.
Added the ability to use some of the buttons while in hold mode, by holding the Select button first.

News/release from Mr305
It's been a long while since I made any releases.
What's this?
This is a motion capture & depiction software for PSP that shows Real Time 2d representation of motion (as reported by Motion Kit).
Features Smooth recognition with ability to toggle the Motion Sensitivity, colors, pointing/drawing mode, screenshot functionality(currently broken).
It is so well written that you can even draw PAINTINGS/figures by only by using motion.
I wrote this software long back (back when I was sponsored the motion kit) but decided I would release this only when I fix the screenshot functionality (so that you all can share you creations).
You'll need the Neo Motion Kit. ( http://www.neoflash.com/go/index.php...=189&Itemid=37)
Controls:
See Program's OSD.
Screenshots:
Notes:
ScreenShot Functionality is BROKEN. You'll need a screenshot plugin.
Read the READMEs!
SHARE you creative MoCap drawings/creations; I am looking forward to seeing your entries.

With the release of Fallout 3 on the Xbox 360, Pc and Ps3 this week, there has been controversy over the Playstation 3 version containing game stopping glitches. With the Xbox360 and the PC versions running fine, it has raised the question of why so many Playstation 3 releases are broken on release date relying on a patch.
First Socom suffered then it was Little Big Planet, and now one of the year’s most anticipated games has suffered the same fate. But the reason why this one hits so hard is because it is multiplatform and the game runs flawlessly on the 360 and Pc. How does it look for Sony when their competition can run these games without a hiccup whilst even Sony’s first party games are being released broken.
The issue here seems to be that while the developers have no problem creating Xbox 360 games along with the Pc versions due to the architectures being so similar, they cannot seem to fully get to grips with the Playstation’s architecture to the point they can avoid these glitches. We have to keep in mind that developers have a time line to work towards, so if it is easier for them to create the Playstation 3 versions the best they can then fix it with a patch post release, this is the course of action they will take. This is no issue for them, Sony unfortunately have to suffer the criticism as millions of their customers are left not receiving the same satisfaction as the competitions base.
Even those who own all systems will buy all 3rd party releases for the Xbox 360 without a second thought due to the fact they already know they can get the best experience from buying this version. It is extremely sad to see this from the eyes of a Playstation 3 owner as myself. However I feel it is up to Sony to make this trend change, as the developers will do what they are payed to do and they are not payed to make the Playstation experience a better one. Let’s hope Sony can offer more support with their Dev kits in the future so all multiplatform titles can be identical and the first party exclusives can be that much more appealing.

That's where MAX Power comes in.
The MAX Power Slimline is a lithium battery for the PSP designed in a slimmer package to fit the new Slimeline PSP. Keep it charged and you always have a back-up in case your main battery is drained at a crucial moment.
Features
Special slimmer 1200mAh version of the MAX Power

That's right, something that has yet to be accomplished at all is now up for grabs here: http://psp.wijou.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=486
The Readme is in the archive, but what is not explained in the readme is that player skins are seriously messed up still at this point (they just don't show up right) and the bot skins are the same for both teams (another bug that will hopefully be worked out soon)
Enjoy!
Heres the full news article
Just like any other Quake PSP download, throw the contents of your Quake ID1 folder into the ID1 folder in the Team Fortress folder in the archive. Enjoy!
Note: Not ALL of the maps included work, and in adhoc play, other players' skins do not show up at all, which is something I am trying to work on. Bot skins are all one color, instead of there being a red and blue team skin set. Again, something I'm trying to work on.
Enjoy, world!!
EDIT: Before anyone says anything, I am well aware that it says Team Fortress 1.2 on the zip file, while it really is 1.3, but hey, does that REALLY matter when you're minutes away from Team Fortress on your PSP?
Also, one last note, the readme may refer to some download links that do not exist on the readme, like a second control configuration (already included) because I copied that section from the development thread.

You know what sounds really good right now? An artificially flavored fruit soda. But since we don't have one, we'll settle for the Sony and Universal joint venture called PoP. It's an "entertainment vending machine" that uses a touchscreen interface to sell and dispense Blu-rays, PS3 Games, DVDs, CDs, and movie/music downloads for the various PMPs. Arriving in your favorite public spaces soon, the systems promise to launch with 150 movie titles and even run occasional sales. So who knows, they could actually be worth using. Hit up the link for a video of the interface.

Microsoft has been relentless in their pursuit of exclusivity rights for the downloadable content for some of the biggest games of the year -- Grand Theft Auto IV, of course, being chief among them. Other than a vague comment from SCEE president David Reeves, who hinted in May that extra content for GTA IV would "probably" be coming to the PS3, we've not heard much contention from Sony's higher-ups over Microsoft's stranglehold on the DLC of these third-party blockbusters.
This silence was recently broken by Sony UK managing director Ray Maguire, who, in an interview with VideoGamer.com, stated, "nothing is ever exclusive." Maguire explained that while the competition had spent "a large amount of money" to purchase exclusive DLC rights for "a period of time", Sony had chosen to funnel their money into research and development, as well as the production of titles such as LittleBigPlanet.
His statements certainly seem to hint at the possibility of 360-exclusive DLC eventually finding its way onto the PS3 -- though considering the kind of green Microsoft dishes out to secure said DLC, we'd be surprised if it happened anytime soon.

Most studios, even Sony Pictures, have given up on releasing UMD movies. This already makes Resident Evil Degeneration unique because Sony will release a slightly cheaper UMD version in Japan on December 17. Resident Evil Degeneration on UMD goes for 3,990 yen ($40) while the collector’s edition DVD runs for 4,980 yen ($51).
You know what else Resident Evil Degeneration has? Two language tracks: English and Japanese. Even in Japan Resident Evil games usually have English voice acting so if you want to hear Leon speak Japanese here you go. Collectors might also want to look out for the limited edition Blu-ray box set with the figure above. It’s limited to 5,000 pieces and usually goes for 12,800 yen ($129). Since the Americas and Japan are in the same Blu-ray region the Japanese release will play on a US PlayStation 3 without any fussing around.

I love these amusing articles posted by tech sites, heres another to read and amuse yourself at:
It's still early days in the life of the PSP-3000, which was released approximately 3 weeks ago, but Sony will be happy to hear that hackers have so far failed to exploit the latest hardware revision.
So far hackers have only been able to swap its CPU with that of a PSP Slim, but haven't been able to exploit the hardware in the same way as previous models.
Dark Alex, one of the most popular PSP sites for the hacking and homebrew community, has been unable to find a work around to hack the hand-held and the community as a whole appear to be stumped as to whether it will even be possible.
If it can't be hacked then Sony will have finally won its long battle against piracy and the homebrew community. Throughout the life cycle of the PSP, Sony has tried to thwart hackers by releasing firmware updates to improve security, but every time it's still managed to be hacked. PSP hackers have in the past been vocal about the fact that they're not actually interested in hacking the PSP to take advantage of copied games, but believe they should have the right to do whatever they want to the hardware.
Fanjita, a member of the hacker group "N00bz!", stated,
"Everyone has the right to do what they want with their own hardware. Piracy does upset me, and because what we are doing opens the way to piracy it's harder to justify it morally. But our stance on piracy is clear, and we hope to be role models. Sony have never been in touch with me, so I am confident that what we are doing is legal."
However. some people believe that by stopping hackers from exploiting the hardware, Sony is actually doing itself no favours.
Phillip Torrone from Make Magazine recently stated:
"I think the really smart companies should release their products to the alpha geeks for six months and let the alpha geeks play around with them. It seems to me they'd save a lot of money on R&D, and they'd come out with much more solid products."
The PSP 3000 is obviously going to be tough nut to crack, but there lies the challenge - something that the hacking community will relish.

2K Games has said that the downloadable Challenge Rooms for BioShock PS3 will cost GBP 6.29.
There are three of these rooms, remember, but they will arrive as a single pack on 20th November on the PlayStation Store.
The Challenge Rooms, exclusive to PS3, offer plenty of unseen content and tasks to accomplish. They add up to well over an hour of gameplay on the first run-through, and are built to be replayable.
Tasks are tough and based on using limited resources to achieve a goal, such as rescuing a Little Sister on a Ferris Wheel, taking down a Big Daddy, or besting a staggered arena-style onslaught of Rapture baddies.
Check back tomorrow for our hands-on impressions of the Challenge Rooms.

A demonstration of Heavy Rain, that caused such a stir earlier this year, was possibly one of the most impressive we've ever seen. Describing it was tough - you really had to see it. And now you can.
As posters Gamekyo reminds us, the entire demo is playable - after the initial intro cutscene - and even when the camera is taking a cinematic, cutscene-style angle, there are playable aspects to it.
It's in French, but don't let you put you off. Make sure you read our impressions to find out exactly what was going on too.

Atari has taken the calendar by the horns and dated the remainder of games due out this side of Christmas.
Which means a 14th November date for Alone in the Dark: Inferno on PS3. The "Inferno" part of the title was added recently to reflect the additional content and bug fixes developer Eden has been working on since the launch of Alone in the Dark on Xbox 360 back in May.
But will that make any difference to the original 7/10 score? Sadly, our hands-on impressions of the PS3 build suggest not.
A week later, on 21st November, we'll be treated to Legendary on PC and Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion pack Storm of Zehir.
We'll skip over the former, because of dismal review scores, but the latter adds a significant amount of content to the ageing D&D role-playing game. Of most interest will be the party system, but there are also new classes, a minty fresh campaign and plenty of other bits to go round.

I knew LittleBigPlanet was versatile, but I didn't realize it was this versatile. Japanese PSN member RRR30000 has managed to recreate classic shoot-em up gameplay within the game, using a spaceship sticker and massive amounts of free time. It's truly an amazing accomplishment, recreating the entire first level from Gradius, complete with a boss fight at the end should you make it that far. The level name is Libidius.jp, and it's available for play as we speak. Go rate the hell out of this guy, he really deserves it.

New Battlefield: BC maps are available today for PS3 and tomorrow for Xbox 360.
The downloadable 'Community Choice Map Pack' features four brand new conquest multiplayer maps, "gameplay enhancements" and PlayStation 3 Trophy support.
Fans of the game will probably know that players previously had the chance to vote on which two single-player levels they wanted to see as multiplayer maps.
Par for the Course and Acta Non Verba received the most community votes, while the game's development team chose Ghost Town and Crossing Over, coinciding with the community's third and fourth choices.
The game's been out since June so new maps are definitely a welcome addition. Get downloading now if you're lucky enough not to be at work.

LittleBigPlanet will be getting another tool to make its user-created stages even more customizable, reports PS3 Attitude. Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule, commented at GameCity in Nottingham recently that an image importing tool was pulled from the game due to time constraints, but it will be patched into the game by Christmas.
Crafty players have found ways around the lack of an image importer by using the PlayStation Eye, but true image importing should help players use higher-res pictures in their created stages. PS3 Fanboy speculates it will involve memory and USB sticks, along with a possible size limitation to keep stages from getting too large with photographs. We'll be waiting for word on when exactly this patch will come, along with the promised online creation patch announced before the launch of the game. If you haven't picked up the game yet, check out our positive review, in which a chin-stroking Nick Suttner refers to its "infectious joy, infectious creativity, and an infectiously excited community."

The latest title in Atlus' big-in-Japan high-school demon-slaying RPG series must be getting closer to release in the West because the company's just released the first full trailer for the game.
The PS2 title stormed the Japanese chart back in mid-July and it's out in the US in December, but there's still no UK release date on the horizon. Still, don't let that stop you checking out the video, here.

I was bored today so I made this simple app. =]
ROFLFlasher is a homebrew app I made to trick your friends into thinking that their PSP is Bricked. ROFLFlasher is disguised as Ultra Flasher a CFW flasher that supposedly gives your PSP new features. It is designed to look like other CFW Flashers. ROFLFlasher comes with a few funny surprises so it is fun for all.

News/release from torch
This is a simple plugin I made a long time ago for my personal use. I just found the source code while going through some old stuff on my computer, so I thought I'd clean up the code a bit and release the plugin.
I realize that there are other plugins that feature similar functionality but I wrote my own because I wanted to be sure its coded optimally, as there are a few careless ways in which these functions can be improperly used (the point of this after all is to conserve battery life).
It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 60MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode. LEDs are flashed once in 30 seconds so that the PSP is not mistaken to be powered off.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.
Usage:
Turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU. Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning on the Hold switch, it will only lock the keypad like normal hold mode. The display and CPU speed will not be changed, so that you can watch videos etc. with the keypad locked.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning off the Hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. To return to normal, push the power switch to the suspend position, or just press the Screen button.
While the PSP is in hold mode, if you first hold down the Select button, you can use the following buttons: Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Vol+, Vol-, Start.
Installation:
You can install it in the seplugins folder, and make an entry in VSH.txt. Thus it will be active in the XMB. Its also possible to use it in games by adding it to GAME.txt, but some games may crash etc., if the CPU is underclocked to such a low value.
Optionally, its also possible to install it in your PSP's flash0 so that it will work without a Memory Stick. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it before vshmain.prx.
Advanced:
If you want to change the clock speed to your own values, you can use a hex editor to change them. The offsets in the file for v3.3 are
0xCF8 - CPU
0xCFC - Bus (Should be half the CPU speed or less)
The values should be entered in hexadecimal. The default value for CPU is 3C (60 MHz in decimal) and the default value for Bus is 1E (30 MHz in decimal).
Note that simply using any arbitrary value will not work. You will have to test and see which values for CPU and Bus speed work.
Credits:
Thanks to adrahil for helping with preventing the suspend mode.
Thanks to Booster for the SysCon Hook sample, based on which Hold+ v3.0 was updated.
Thanks to Total_Noob; As his plugin MusicHold was not compatible with Hold+, with his permission I've implemented the same features in Hold+ v3.0 for people who wanted some buttons to be usable in hold mode.
Spoiler for Changelog:
Changelog v3.3
----------------------------------
Fixed a bug where if the battery was low, and the Power LED was blinking, and you turned off the Hold switch exactly at the moment before the Power LED blinked, the problem of the dissappearing battery icon would occur.
The method of prevent accidental suspend has been changed back to adrahil's SysEvent method, instead of Booster's method which was used from v3.0, which was causing various problems as it worked by corrupting SysCon packets that contained the Power Switch On signal.

Laser Invaders V2
Hi Guys,
This is a laser control game based on the PSP laser control idea by califrag.
Laser Invaders is coded from scratch, using the ps2dev.org Go!Cam demo
as a template.
The screenshot doesn't really convey the idea, so here's the videos:
PSP and laser area view:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9kmoSB73c
PSP screen closeup:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=j97p1ePJyh8
The idea is to shoot all invaders in as short time as possible.
Shooting Special invaders will win you time bonuses which is
deducted from the time before the skill level report is calculated.
The time is displayed at the end of the game, and then the
time bonus is subtracted before determining the player skill level.
Laser Invaders requires a Go!Cam if that wasn't already obvious.
Cheers, Art.

A new patent has surfaced from Sony for a PlayStation 3 controller that is tracked "using hybrid video capture and ultrasonic tracking system." The video capture, according to the patent, will be used to track the horizontal and vertical position (as it would be captured on a two-dimensional image) and the sonar will be used to detect the distance between the controllers, the distance from the controllers to the system and nearby nuclear submarines.
What's interesting to note as well is that the diagrams included in the patent show a pair of nunchuk-style devices for two of the the three shown people, perhaps related to recent rumors of a "break apart" PS3 controller. We'll poke Sony for the usual "no comment," "patents get filed all the time, nothing to see here" and "hey look, a hamster!"

Konami announced this morning that Metal Gear Online has enlisted its 1 millionth soldier. To celebrate, the publisher is launching an in-game "Commemorative Campaign" from November 25 to December 9. Anyone who logs into MGO during that period will receive 10,000 reward points (to be added after Dec. 9) that can be used at the in-game rewards shop. Additionally, 30 people (10 from Europe, North American and Japan) will win 100,000 reward points in a draw being held on December 16.
We can't help but read this news as disappointing for Konami (we already know Kojima's unhappy). Metal Gear Solid 4 -- that is, the single player component of MGO -- shipped 3 million worldwide at launch and continues to sell.
The publisher has announced a second expansions, MEME, due out later this year. A GENE/MEME bundle of both expansions will be available this "holiday season" for $14.99. Not included in the expansions: A Konami ID disintegration device.

When he opens the box, he releases hordes of beasts thought to be fictional - such as werewolves and gryphons - into an unprepared modern world. A full scale war between man and myth begins, and it is quickly complicated by the actions of powerful secret societies. As the person responsible for releasing this terror, Deckard's unwittingly become the only person capable of containing it once more and saving civilization from being destroyed by the terrifying creatures of the box.
Like Pandora before him, he cannot resist the temptation of finding out what’s inside. By opening the fabled device, he unleashes hordes of creatures thought to be merely the imaginings of our ancestors. However, murderous werewolves, unstoppable gryphons and other creatures of ancient lore prove all too real as they wreak havoc across an unprepared modern world. Legendary is set for a Fall 2008 release.

Square Enix’s Soul Eater manga is a hot licensed property. Namco Bandai just finished their Soul Eater game for the DS a few weeks ago and there is already another game in development. However, Soul Eater: Battle Resonance is quite different from Soul Eater: Conspiracy of Medusa since it’s a versus style fighting game.
Details about the fighting system are hazy, but the screenshots make Soul Eater: Battle Resonance appear to be a fighting game. One unusual decision is Soul Eater: Battle Resonance is getting a PSP and PlayStation 2 release when it comes out on January 29. The PSP version has ad-hoc play and since players are fighting on separate screens they can control their camera angle. The PlayStation 2 release has anime clips from the first twenty four episodes to watch in the Soul Theater and alternate costumes for characters like Maka and Black Star. No word if the graphics in Soul Eater: Battle Resonance will differ between releases, but we’ve seen other PSP to PlayStation 2 ports before. Set your expectations low now so you won’t be disappointed if Soul Eater: Battle Resonance was designed primarily for the PSP.

DJ Max Portable: Clazziquai Edition has a link disc feature which lets you can unlock content in this DJ Max game with an older DJ Max game. Pop in DJ Max Portable 2 and you instantly get a few character icons, the Syriana song, and the Summer Time Gear which changes the mobile phone interface to a girl holding a beach ball. If you thoroughly combed DJ Max Portable 2 you may have noticed this already. If not, check out the video below. Don’t worry it’s safe for work.

In an interview with VideoGamer, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe managing director, Ray Maguire, said he sees a shift away from the current norm where most third parties develop titles first for Xbox 360. In fact, he believes that developers will need to ... downgrade their games to run on other platforms.
"I think we now have an install base which is big enough for any third party to want to develop for," Maguire said. "Now the decision making part of development is which do you lead your development on? Is it easier to lead with the most powerful, both in terms of AI and graphics, i.e. PS3 and then just remove part of the functionality for the processors that aren't quite as strong?"
Maguire concludes that he "would imagine that's very much part of the thought process now from a studio development point of view." We conclude that games such as Burnout Paradise – which began development on PS3 – look just fine on 360 (as does Mirror's Edge) but Maguire is likely thinking forward about a new round of third party software that's still in its infancy.

Capcom has said that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 this month.
"You can start your salivating because HD Remix is coming to your console this November," a spokesperson for the publisher told us. "Exact date TBD. Don't hate me! Trust us, it's coming."
SSFII Turbo HD Remix will be sold via Xbox Live and the PlayStation Store, although there's still no mention of the price.
The game, a revamp Super Street Fighter II Turbo from 1994, adds crisp 1080p graphics as well as a remixed OCR soundtrack and myriad tweaks to the balanced fighting formula.
You may have played or seen SSFII Turbo HD Remix at the Eurogamer Expo, in between jostling for position in the Street Fighter IV queue. Not that we would have been doing that - we were working, obviously.

It was recently reported that LittleBigPlanet was to be patched by this upcoming holiday season to allow for image importing. Turns out this isn't the case.
A developer posting on the Official PlayStation Forums had the following to say:
"There are a couple of these rumours flying around today, so to clear things up - image importing is very much technically viable which may have been what Alex is referring to, however there are currently no plans to introduce it for a variety of reasons. Announcements of future content releases, whether free, paid for, feature update, costume, sticker or whatever will always come through the official websites for LittleBigPlanet and Media Molecule, if you hear of updates through any other source please take it with a pinch of salt until it has been confirmed or denied.
Right now there are no plans to introduce image importing to the game, and we'll update if that change."

jas0nuk updated PRXdecrypter to version 2.1
A few months ago I internally updated it to 2.1 fixing a few issues such as the GZ error, KL3E was added to the last public release but I'm not sure if it is still working on 5.00 as it uses a RAM search to hook the function.
Anyways here is 2.1 unofficial update with the 5.00 keys added just now, and the changelog as far as I can remember it :P
Change Log:
- Latest decryption keys (up to 5.01)
- GZIP failure bug fixed on 3.80+
- Now bruteforces the XOR key for updater modules (appears in blue at the right of the screen), takes a longer but now it will work on all future updaters until Sony change their updater security
- User is now asked whether they want to decrypt updater modules which have just been extracted
- User is now asked whether they want to overwrite files that are read-only before saving them

The previously "on hold" PS3 version of RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is back on, with EA promising to do "some really cool things" that make the most of the 1080p resolution and extra space Blu-Ray and PS3 provides.
Red Alert 3, the first Red Alert game in seven years, is out now for PC with a 360 version due on November 14. Although the game was originally announced for PS3 as well, EA confirmed that version was "on hold" back in June, with EA Los Angeles producer Amer Ajami later telling us that Sony's console is "very exotic and tough to develop for".
However, producer and C&C TV presenter David Silverman confirmed to VideoGamer.com that development on the PS3 version of Red Alert 3 is back on and there's "definitely people working" on it.
He said: "When we announced Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 we announced there was a PS3 version, then we decided to go on the record and say that we've suspended it to make sure that RA3 was able to come out to the level of quality that it must adhere to to be called a C&C game. We've hit that mark, we've shipped the game. And you know what that means? That means there's another version left to be had. So there's definitely people working on a PS3 version and we'll be talking more about that later."
While Silverman wouldn't commit to a release date, he did say that PS3 owners will be "very pleased" if they bide their time.
"If you're a PS3 owner and you don't own a PC and you don't have an Xbox 360 you don't have to write on your Christmas or Hanukkah list that you want to have an Xbox," he said. "You can play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, bide your time and you'll be very pleased. We're looking at doing some really cool things with the PS3 version. Since it is shipping later we're putting in a lot of cool content and really taking advantage of both the 1080p nature and the high-defness of Blu-Ray and also the fact that it can hold just so much more space."
Unfortunately Silverman wouldn't go into any more detail, saying: "I already gave you too much."
What "cool things" do you expect to see in the PS3 version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3? Let us know in the comments section below.

CJPC Posted this interesing PS3 hacking news:
Over the months there has been a lot of inaccurate information circulating in regards to how exactly the PlayStation 3's Service Mode works, and as promised in our previous Dev updates here are some of the facts to help separate the rumors and speculation.
It is a fairly simple process as follows.. For starters, the PS3 is powered off, and a special USB dongle, known as the Jig, is connected. The PS3 is then turned on, and then off, once it has detected the Jig.
After this occurs, the PS3 is then turned back on, into "Service" Mode. From here, the PS3 is re-flashed using a Firmware Update on a USB stick, specifically designed to only install from the Service Mode. Once the PS3 is re-flashed with the software, it is then used in conjunction with a PC running customized software, specifically the DEX.exe and CEX.exe's.
There are a multitude of special PS3 firmwares, basically three major ones. The first is a Core System, followed by the Service System, then finishing it off with the Final Software.. usually Retail.
From the CEX/DEX PC side software, just about anything can be done: Copying, transfer and resigning of box-specific items like PSN games, user profiles, etc.
Furthermore, the systems can be re-flashed to any software version as well. The system's keys can also be "rearranged", such as the marrying of the PS3's BD-ROM Drive (or controller) with the mainboard. Needless to say, this can do a lot more than a simple "Recovery Menu", as it can change firmware and more.
Over the last few months we have also compared the flash dumps (pictured below) done by our very own courier of a PS3 in Service Mode with a Retail (and a Debug) and found that the systems are primarily alike, however the Bootloader 1 of the Service Mode PS3 differs than that of the other systems. Work is still being done by the resident PS3 Devs in trying to pinpoint exactly why this is the case.

News/release from BigProMan
Hello everyone!
At the request of RLR, member, I make a plugin based on the timer arrest deferred Sony, but that is more efficient and works anywhere in the XMB (both listening to music, that 'watching a movie), and even in games (mainly for PSPTube)
Thus, you can choose between these 9 parameters (time or turn off your PSP):
- Disabled (timer off)
- 30 Minutes
- 40 Minutes
- 50 Minutes
- 1 Hour
- 1 hour and a quarter
- 1 hour and a half
- 1 Hour Forty Five
- 2 Hours
Operation:
Press the Select button to change the time of the timer, its status will be displayed at the top left of the screen.
Installation:
Here now the link to download the plugin:

Just when you thought catchy beats and sweet songs were in the PSP's immediate future, publisher PM Studios announced today that DJ Max Fever has been delayed until the first quarter of 2009.
The news hits hard -- especially since the music game that's similar to Guitar Hero was slated to launch next week -- but a release from PM Studios categorized the delay as a necessary one "to give the American consumers the best product they most truly deserve." Apparently, the extra weeks developers now have will be used to add new gear and upgrade items, make the title fully compatible with the PSP-3000, add more hidden content, and perfect a brand new game engine that is tentatively titled "BS."
So far away..."In order to have a unique and outstanding product, PM Studios and Pentavision Entertainment felt that DJ Max Fever needed a special upgrade that would differentiate itself from the previous titles making it truly an original game of its own," the release read. "At this moment, we are preparing to unveil the "BS" engine and to put more content into DJ Max Fever. We look forward to working hard and await the release of our title."
When we get our hands on this "BS" mode, you'll be the first to know.

News/release from locofocos
Hey, I had registered with this site in January of 2007, but only made one post. Anyways, I'm back now.
I've been playing around with coding on the PSP and finally got some stuff to work, so I decided to make my first real piece of homebrew, called Gaydar (gay plus radar). It runs on 1.50, 1.00, and custom firmwares. It's a joke that tells you to point the infrared port at a person, press O, and a light will start blinking telling you whether they're gay or straight (it's about a 50/50 chance either way, regardless of what the infrared port is picking up )
I've included the C++ source code if anybody would like to use part of it. Even if you don't really think you would want it, download it anyways- it's funny to see if someone will show up as gay or straight. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

News/release from TokyoDrift
The new NovaCoding Development Team (Pro X, vista200, Jensinus, TokyoDrift) finally releases their first Homebrew. It's not 100% finished but nobody wanted to work on it again so after long time of doing more or less nothing here is the release. The game is mainly about steering a falling ball through some holes. Sounds strange hu? It's not really possible to explain better so just try it on your own. It's quite funny. And yes, the background-music is crap but you can listen to your own music by putting it to "ms0:/MUSIC/fallballsound.mp3". Some (actually most) mp3s make the Programm to show an error, so load your mp3 to audacity or whatever and re-encode it. Should work then. The game has also the feature of uploading your highscore to the NovaCoding server. In the Package there's a client for looking at these highscores. Since NovaCoding isn't able to buy an own server the free-server sometimes is offline. The CTRL is quite easy, just steer using the D-Pad, the Analog-Pad or the buttons on the right side of the PSP - whatever you like best. All the good-looking graphics are made by Xan (thx) and the others (as well as most of the code) by TokyoDrift. We share it as .ISO for some reasons. I'm bored of typing so I won't tell you.

News/release from raing3:
I changed the name of my IPL dumper yet again to Memory Stick Utility, in this release made the following changes:
- Changed the name of the application again to Memory Stick Utility
- Fixed crash which occured when injecting ms0:/ipl.bin twice in the same session
- Fixed bug extracting unknown IPLs
- Made many other minor alterations
- Rewrote the documentation
I still haven't worked out how to correctly dump all IPLs and correctly detect their size etc. To test this out modify the first byte of the Classic Pandora IPL (so it is not detected by the app) inject the IPL and then try to extract it (as you will see only the first 12KB will be dumped) this is because 12KB - 16KB is blank data this blank data is only a few bytes bigger then the 4KB limit however I do not want to increase the block size as that will mean dumped IPLs will be less accurate. Also I would greatly appreciate any help with detecting the end of the IPL writable memory (like Rains app).

Stop thinking about LittleBigPlanet for a moment. Valkyria Chronicles is turning out to be a bit of a surprise gem for PS3 owners. And it'll be even better next year when Sega delivers the first of what will hopefully be a long line of DLC updates.
Sega of America associate producer Christopher Kaminski has confirmed that the new DLC will be the same as was recently released in Japan, adding "an extra mission and an Extra Hard skirmish mode" to the fantastic-looking strategy game.
There's no specific date - "early next year" is how it stands. But the game only just came out last Friday, so you should have plenty to be getting on with for now.
If you haven't got it yet, check out this new trailer while you're here.

Ubisoft has decided to bundle official Sony PS3 Bluetooth headsets with Limited Edition copies of Tom Clancy's EndWar.
And this is rather helpful, as the game supports voice commands for ordering troops around.
Play seems to be the only place selling these Limited Edition copies at the moment, for the ripe old price of GBP 59.99.
That's quite a lot, considering most Bluetooth headsets work with the PS3, and that most mobile phone companies are happy to bundle them with just about anything.
But they're not official PS3 peripherals, of course, and so lack charging cradles, USB to USB mini cables, and various other useful features for playing games.
Tom Clancy's EndWar is due out this Friday on Xbox 360, PS3, PSP and DS.
Expect our thoughts on the game soon.

Not everyone can spend all their time designing LittleBigPlanet levels, you know. Some have to go to work and let their ideas fester, some are paralyzed by the volume of their own ingenuity while still others are uncreative lumps who struggle with writing a punchy birthday card signature, let alone designing an entire level of fun and frivolity. For all of these people, there's the newly opened LittleBigWorkshop.
There you can create level blueprints to undertake later or even get inspired by the ideas of others, inspiration like "I'm gonna try to make a Ratchet and Clank level some day, when I get a chance." Can you feel it, the internet? Can you taste the inspiration? If you'll excuse us, we have to go create.

Capcom's director of production Adam Boyes has said that online console gaming via the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade are still in their infancy.
The company recently canned its digital title Talisman - based on the Games Workshop table top game - with Boyes citing the difficulty of replicating the close social interaction users experience when playing board games.
"We looked at the other games on XBLA and PSN and realised that very few people were willing to sit and play a game for more than an hour. With a regular Talisman match coming in between three-to-five hours, this created an issue with how we would make the game fun and engaging for that whole time," offered Boyes, speaking to Giant Realm.
"This brings us one thing that we again failed to realise as PSN and XBLA were still in their infancy. Complex board games like Talisman live and die on the social interaction of people."
"If the people in your match aren't going to use their headsets, the social aspect of a board game gets completely drained and becomes a slog as you could be sitting there for five minutes waiting for your next turn," he added.
However, Boyes does agree that board and card games can succeed on PSN and XBLA, where gameplay isn't so time consuming, and Capcom is still open to bringing such product to the services.
"I think both board games and card games are great opportunities to create bite-sized experiences for the average XBLA and PSN player. I review hundreds of pitches and we will never close the door to developing a board game or card game that fits our user base."
The rights to create a game based on the Talisman board game have now reverted back to Games Workshop.

With a little over one month left until the Japanese release of Dissidia Final Fantasy, coverage in publications like Famitsu and Dengeki appears to be increasing for the title. Our latest update comes from Famitsu, which offers this week a look at the game's Final Fantasy VI characters and modes of play.
The FFVI characters were first revealed at the Tokyo Game Show. Joining the Dissidia cast from the Super NES classic are Cefca Palazzo and Tina Branford. Both characters focus on magic attacks, and both gain the ability to float during EX Mode.
Primary modes of play for the title include Story Mode, Quick Battle, and Wireless Mode. These shouldn't require too much explanation. The magazine confirms that your character parameters from the Quick Battle mode can be carried over to the story mode. The Wireless mode lets two players face off in local play. The magazine also speculates that you'll be able to go to the Wireless mode to set up your AI characters for trading with other players.
While you won't be fighting, expect to spend a lot of time in the various gallery modes. The PP Catalogue mode lets you exchange PP that you've earned in quick battle and story modes to purchase battle BGM, Another Forms for each character, and other items. The Museum mode lets you view items that you purchased in the PP Catalogue mode and movies that you encountered throughout the game.
Dissidia is so big that it has two modes for settings. The Player Data Settings mode lets you set your name, and review how much time you've spent playing the game. The main Options mode lets you set up camera controls, audio levels and all the other things you'd expect from an options menu. You can also chose to install the game to Memory Stick for faster load times. The installation lets you select from 245, 373 and 528 megabytes, depending on how much space you want to give up.
Square Enix appears to be trying out some new things with Dissidia to keep players playing. In additon to the above modes, the title screen displays the date and time and even gives you access to a calendar of some form. On certain days, you'll see special icons indicating that you can get more experience by playing on that day. It's possible that there are other bonuses as well, although Square Enix ain't talking yet.
There's definitely a lot packed into the Dissidia experience, and thankfully there's just over a month to go until the Japanese release. You can bet we'll be importing this one and delivering plenty of impressions and movies.

It might not say a thousand words, but this picture says enough to bring into question statements by LittleBigPlanet community manager Sam_Protagonist, who claimed the development team had "no plans to introduce" image importing into the game. Clearly, this "work in progress" (as it's called), which appeared in Media Molecules Flickr stream yesterday, shows that the team is developing an "Image Import Tool" that pulls images from the PlayStation 3 hard drive and sticks 'em to players' creations. Indeed, in his denial, Sam_Protagonist did admit that importing is "very much technically viable."
Still, as Sam implied, there are obvious copyright and balls-on-the-walls issues that complicate the introduction of an image-importing tool. Until those are resolved, consider this update for internal use only.

It seems the folks at EA have slapped on some shades and a gratuitous amount of SPF 15+ lotion in an attempt to brave the "exotic and tough" development climate of the PlayStation 3. Red Alert 3 producer David Silverman told VideoGamer that the alternate history, real-time strategy romp is back in development for Sony's system, after having been placed on hold in July.
Silverman assures that there are "definitely people working" on it (sea otters just weren't getting the job done) and that the PS3 version would benefit from the "the high-defness of Blu-Ray." Though his other comments seemed to imply a release as soon as December, EA confirmed to Eurogamer that there "are no plans for a PS3 release of Red Alert 3 anytime before Christmas." As for when exactly armchair generals can join Tim Curry, J.K. Simmons and the gang ... time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell.

While Microsoft Europe seem intent on releasing a bundle to coincide with every single game released on the console over the next two months, Sony Europe are playing things a little more casual. Not so many bundles from them. Here's one they are releasing, though, and it's one that takes a slightly different approach to the standard throw-in-a-free-game deal. Seemingly destined for the Scandinavian market - having turned up unannounced on Norwegian online store Komplett, and having only Scandinavian languages on the box - this pack includes a 160GB PS3, a DualShock 3 and vouchers for four PSN games (GT5: Prologue, Quest for Booty, Last Guy & Super Stardust HD). You get all that for 4500 Krone, which is around USD$675.

Home, the PS3's long overdue community service, wasn't always called "Home." As Sony's Jamie MacDonald, it was known internally under the codename "Hub." And how ever did Sony go from Hub to Home? According to MacDonald:
To be honest I really can't remember how we came to the word "Home". I do recall us all thinking that it works, and works on lots of different levels - "Let's go home" - and Home is where you start from and go back to. And people talk about having a "Homepage".
Home works much better than Hub.

News/release from Davee
[Important Info]
This version spoofer is designed for use with 5.00 firmware and will not operate on any other firmware.
[What can it do]
This spoofer can spoof an almost limitless amount of characters onto the screen. It loads up seplugins/spoofversion.txt and applies it on boot.
If you wish to change version you can edit in usb mode and once you reboot, the version will change.
[How to install]
Copy spoofversion.txt and version_spoofer.prx to /seplugins/, edit the vsh.txt in the same folder, and activate in recovery. To change version, just modify the the spoofversion.txt with notepad. Length is unlimited, but may not appear for several reasons.
[Advanced]
Unicode is also supported for use. If you wish to use unicode, make a file in seplugins called "spoofversion_unicode.txt ". Make sure its unicode data that is in that file. Unicode allows a greater range of characters to be used as opposed to ANSI.
[Credits]
Davee - Developer
Bubbletune - For some help
[Note]
This source is free to use, but please credit the authors if you use this code in your application.

Seems that the N64 emulator for the PSP is now being worked on via different coders, heres the news from Kreationz
Well, I'm not the only dev working on this and this update concerns me and two other devs.
1. My progress
I looked into the cache last night and found that the instruction list for the dynarec was being invalidated when it wasn't necessary. This eats up a small chunk of CPU cycles. So a bit more speed from better cache handling there. Also some new code I put in for GoldenEye had an adverse effect speed wise on other games so I'm going to look into making it game specific. (It only helps Golden and Army Men that I know of, but I can turn it on for other games that exhibit the same shaking they do.)
2. Wally's progress
Wally has been hard at work fixing some micro code issues which should help compatibility. At least one more game now runs with his new code.(Space Station Silicon Valley) I don't have it yet, but when I get it I'll test it for speed and see if I can further improve it.
3. Chilly Willy's progress
Chilly Willy has been working on something Strmn left off on that wasn't quite in the R14 betas that circulated around. He has just given me code to move audio processing to the ME. What this means is that with audio on it won't bog down the CPU quite as much(there's still a hit from it, but not as much.)
Side Note to #3: Audio code is currently based on Azimer's 0.55 plugin, but he has offered me a later version of the code which is now feasible to use thx to Chilly's new code.
With all three of these updates we now have better speed and compatibility than any prior version of Daedalus(R12-R14 included). There will be another Alpha in 2-3 days max. After this is tested(in bout a week), the SVN will go online. All the developers will have access. Then in December everyone will have read-only access with the developers having write capability. The first public beta will come out about that time. (Read: Early December.. 1st-5th time frame.)

Art has updated his Laser Invadors game, heres the release info:
Hi Guys,
This is a laser control game based on the PSP laser control idea by califrag. Laser Invaders is coded from scratch, using the ps2dev.org Go!Cam demo
as a template.
The screenshot doesn't really convey the idea, so here's the videos:
PSP and laser area view:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9kmoSB73c
PSP screen closeup:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=j97p1ePJyh8
The idea is to shoot all invaders in as short time as possible.
Shooting the UFO will win you a time bonuses which are
deducted from the time before the skill level report is calculated.
The time is displayed at the end of the game, and then any earned
time bonus is subtracted before determining the player skill level.
Quote:
PITIFUL
DISGRACEFUL
PATHETIC!
HOPELESS!
NOT BAD
EXCELLENT
LEGENDARY
TOP GUN
Quote:
Update for V2:
- screen glitch fix
- added another invader type
- up to three invaders on screen
Laser Invaders requires a Go!Cam if that wasn't already obvious.
Cheers, Art.

News from Alek
Some odd news have reached my knowledge, about Datel's Action Replay, keep reading...
Some of you might have noticed one of the newest stuff released by Datel, the "Action Replay" that allows you (on the PSP we'r talking about of course, i already know there is also a version for the Amiga for it, and of course this post isn't about that revision) to cheat and to use some "powersaves" within it's 64mb memory between other stuff, and all this for ~40USD.
So, why would i or anyone care about this new release from Datel? Well, the point comes when you look onto how was it made.
The following information it's confirmed and it has been studied, so let's hope this clears some doubts on this.
* Datel' Action Replay does uses code that isn't from itself, code that isn't distributed to be used the way they use it anyway. The code involving this terms is, for first instance, the Pandora forged IPL block, and on second place but of course not less important, Booster's IPL SDK.
Also,
* It has been confirmed that Datel' Action replay does interfere on the Custom Firmware code
And also, less important but indeed interesting,
* They use a bigger memory footprint due to the graphics involved in it, and it's interesting also to mention that they had a pretty small database, that being compared it to cwcheat one, this first one isn't even a database tbh.
So, what's your choice? A stealing-code small device, or a Fresh homebrew development with a huge happy users history?
Thanks to VoidPointer and Dark_AleX himself for the tip and confirming this

via Eurogamer
Sony has already picked "loyal" European community members to join the PlayStation Home beta, and will send them invites when version 1.0 of the virtual world goes live.
"Your next question is, 'How do you decide who gets picked?' and we had a couple of plans on how that was going to be done and my boss is away so I cant ask him which one he chose (yes, we've picked the names already and no, I'm not going to reveal the list)," said TedTheDog, Home community manager, on the European PlayStation forum.
"I'll let you know what I can, once I find out, but both were broadly based on the concept of loyalty. That's very vague I know, I'll firm up what I can, but don't expect too much detail, it was really complicated last time."
When Home version 1.0 will launch nobody knows, unfortunately, but with American PlayStation 3 owners being invited as we speak, the estimate is soon.
And there's no need to worry if you don't get in, as TedTheDog says open beta "won't be far behind". Thank you TedTheDog.

The servers for LittleBigPlanet will be offline for most of today for essential maintenance, SCEE has said.
We know, you only got the game yesterday, but hopefully that means you'll still be ploughing through the offline story mode, because there'll be no online gameplay until 5pm today, as Sony confirms:
"Hello everyone. Please note that the LittleBigPlanet online servers will be down for essential maintenance on Thursday November 6th between 8am and 5pm GMT. During this period the offline game will be unaffected as we work to improve online performance. So keep playing or creating and we'll have some shiny new servers ready for when we get back."
Hopefully those shiny new servers will be free of the terrible lag issues that have plagued the otherwise stunning platformer since launch.

"Look into my eyes ... you will beta test Killzone 2 multiplayer," the above image seems to say. Actually, the text that accompanied it – and went out to lucky PlayStation Underground members – said basically that (without the "Look into my eyes" part).
According to the email – which may be in your spam folder right now – beta testers will be able to play 'round the clock, in addition to participating in scheduled test sessions with production team members from Sony and Guerilla on hand to kill you in an online zone. So, check your email. There may just be a pair of glowing red eyes staring back at you ... or at least a good deal on pet medications.

Don't let the name fool you, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is actually a compilation disc of 40 varied titles from the glory days of Sega. The $30 bundle for Xbox 360 and PS3 releases in "spring 2009" and outputs in 720p.
As long as developer Backbone Entertainment keeps the quality high, this is looking like a must-have compilation for fans. [Until Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection PLUS. - Ed.]

Delayed last week, available this week. That's how Sony's Adhoc party rolls. The service - which allows PSP owners to connect their handhelds to an ad hoc internet connection through their PS3s - officially went live in Japan today, bringing joy and convenience to hundreds of thousands (and potentially millions) of Monster Hunter owners across the country. Before you ask "US release date pls", don't bother, we don't know.

New from SuccessHK and is on Worldwide Import:
Sporting over 90 vehicles across multiple classes in the real Baja 1000 ?including trophy trucks, class I, motorcycles, ATVs and more ?the game challenges players to not only be first across the finish line, but also keep their machine intact! Hyper-realistic dirt and damage modeling in the game means players need to be crazy enough to take chances, but not so reckless that their vehicle is destroyed before the race is over.

It’s no big secret that Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is pushing digital distribution for the PSP. All of their first party games get a retail and digital release on day one. Now Sony is extending this policy to their back catalogue, namely their PSP The Best series. “The Best” games are essentially Japan’s Greatest Hits and on December 11 two more SCEJ published games will join the budget selection: Echochrome and Sarugetchu: Saru Saru Daisakusen. You can pick them up in stores for 2,800 yen each ($28) or save a little bit of cash by downloading them on the PlayStation store for 2,200 yen ($22) each. The price gap isn’t as wide as say for Bleach: Soul Carnival, but you can save enough money to buy a PsOne game if you go the digital route.
Sony Computer Entertainment America has released a few older UMD games as downloads like Jeanne D’arc, but the UMD delivery system in North America isn’t nearly as sophisticated.

The TVout plugin gets an update:
It's almost the same as 47-th build, except new FS mode 3.
This mode is experimental, so picture can blinks on some TVs while playing some games or some part of game.
It's similar to Sony's official TV out for HDTVs - so now you can try what HDTV users already have had
In most case this FS mode 3 is for us, developers, and it will lead us to GfX filter in future (hopefully  )
So if you wanna try it, download it right now

Art has released a new version of his Game for the PSP:
Hi Guys,
This is a laser control game based on the PSP laser control idea by califrag.
Laser Invaders is coded from scratch, using the ps2dev.org Go!Cam demo
as a template.
Version 4 has a moving starfeild, but in a still screenshot it just looks like a
bunch of white dots. This release also has another invader.
Now all of the original invaders feature in the game.
The screenshot doesn't really convey the idea, so here's the videos:
PSP and laser area view of V1:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9kmoSB73c
PSP screen closeup of V2:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=j97p1ePJyh8
The idea is to shoot all invaders in as short time as possible.
Shooting special invaders will win you time bonuses which are
deducted from the time before the skill level report is calculated.
The time is displayed at the end of the game, and then any earned
time bonus is subtracted before determining the player skill level.
Quote:
PITIFUL
DISGRACEFUL
PATHETIC!
HOPELESS!
NOT BAD
EXCELLENT
LEGENDARY
TOP GUN
Quote:
Update for V4:
Added the last type of invader.
Laser Invaders requires a Go!Cam if that wasn't already obvious.
Cheers, Art.

No release yet but heres the news from shinydude100
Captain Morgan, Moers, Kreationz, Shinydude100 and Wally Have recieved the compiled eboot of Daedalusx64 Version 0.01 A (Alpha). There are only a few games I've tested out, and what I can say to everyone is that while it isn't %100 full-speed yet, it has had an increase in FPS. Certain games have dramatic speed-increases that are sustained in certain spots like main menus and logos. I almost screamed when I saw the Nintendo Logo on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time run for like a good second at 129 FPS. Then of course it dropped down, but the menu before initiating game-play ran at about 55-60 Frames per second. The area of the game where Link walks out of his house to be greeted by Sarah, that seemed to run at about 8 Fps Average, but it goes up and down, the Z target makes it jump up to 9 FPS and running around drops it to a 6.8 to 7.. Each PSP may run this differently due to: If your psp is at 333 Mhz, if your options are set the same way I have mine, etc. I have made a short clip of LOZOOT, but don't go crying when you see its impressive frame-rate as other areas are still not fulfilling for some...(That'll be my next goal, to get a caching MUCH like the NeoGeo with Rom Conversion possibly) Well thats it for now, I'll get the video up when I get the nearest chance, You will not ber dissapointed DaedalusX64 Community... just ask the other 4 Authorized Alpha Testers at what they have to say about it. ;-)
Heres some screens:
  
  
also this update from chillywilly:
Screenshots of Mario64 running on my TV. The aspect ratio in the pictures looks off, but remember these are a shots of an NTSC TV. I have it set for no overscan. Oh - fixed the screenshot function too. It was dumping the screen after one update when it needed to be dumping after two updates. Now you actually get an image instead of a blank screen.

From the last release I've updated all the graphics (including EBOOT), fixed a few bugs and made menu navigation alot better.
What is this?
This is a BlackJack game with a bit of a twist, like in blackjack you can hit, stand, double down and split. However this aims to help you beat the casino by helping the practice of card counting and basic strategy Whistling.
To help with the basic card counting there is a page that you can flip through a deck of cards and try to keep count, you can check to see if your count is good at any time and your also timed so you know when you've improved.
There's also the three basic strategy tables that can be viewed, these show you how each hand should be played but with the knowledge of the card count, which is also kept on the game you play, you can determin your percentages of winning more.
Then there's the actual game this is just how it could be played in a casino, there's five decks, dealer stands on 17, you can hit, stand, double down and split, five card trick counts, you have a wallet and can change your bet. But as this is to practice you can check on the running count, the true count and the basic strategy tables. A good idea for practice is laid out in counting101 (bottom link).
For more information on card counting and basic strategy look at these links:
Wiki Page on Blackjack:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack
How Stuff Works page:
http://entertainment.howstuffworks.c....htm/printable
Very good article on beating the casino (counting101):

Konami has sold 4.33 million copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 around the world.
The stealthy PS3 exclusive helped Sony's platform account for 38 per cent of Konami games sold between April and September 2008.
This compares favourably to the piddly 1 per cent of Konami games sold on PS3 during the same period last year.
Despite the pulling power of Metal Gear Solid 4, Kojima has maintained that we will definitely not see an Xbox 360 version of the game, despite public support for the idea from Microsoft.
MGS4, which launched back in June, will also be the last of the series helmed by creator Hideo Kojima. He's promised that MGS games will continue to appear, but under the supervision of younger members from his team.
Today also marks the arrival of a PS3 demo of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Better late than never, eh?

A few moment's hesitation prevent you from placing the winning bid on that sweet, customized Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 a few weeks back? It's okay, we've all been there -- sitting at the screen, cursor hovering over the "Bid Now" button, wracked with indecision, finally saying "Why not?" just as the timer hits 0. Usually that's cause for a lifetime of bitter regret, but this time you're in luck. The winning bid of $17,000 turned out to be bogus, so the creators have placed the machine on eBay again, ready for you to ponder anew.
Now, before you make some snide remarks about $17k being way too much for a tarted up PS3, take a look at the attention to detail here, and remember that 15 percent of the proceeds are going straight to the Child's Play charity -- a factor that should hopefully reduce the vehemence of those remarks by roughly a fifth.

Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida Or 2 is getting extra story episodes. We knew this was coming since there is an option in to play downloadable episodes. Maou no Iranai Hi (The Devil King’s Day Off) is the first extra episode and it sounds like the Devil King, the game’s protagonist, is going to be replaced. Sure, other first party PSP games like Wipeout Pure were extended with DLC, but one of the benefits of having the PSP PlayStation Store is downloadable content is more accessible. And since it’s easier to get DLC more publishers might consider to build games with digitally distributed expansion packs in the future.

Don't say we didn't warn you. Despite, well, warnings that they just wouldn't stand for anybody creating then sharing real songs over Guitar Hero: World Tour's song creation utility, people went ahead and did it anyway. During the game's first week on sale, the GH Tunes "store" was littered with recreations of game tunes like the theme to Mario. And the theme to Zelda. You get the idea. Well, those are now gone. And the others that are still there - like tunes from Final Fantasy and Sonic - probably won't be there much longer, either. Our advice? Get creative with those song titles. "Sonic Theme" is no good. But "Baby Stole My Heart And Stashed It In Green Hill Zone"? More subtle. Might get in under the radar.

Newly released today:
The player’s goal in HISTORY Civil War: Secret Missions is to disrupt the armies of both the North and the South by any means necessary, including conducting train raids, stealing ironclad ships, stopping enemy supply lines, destroying enemy artillery and more. All events are drawn from the real life actions of famous partisans, scouts and rangers - fight as a member of Mosby’s Rangers, Sheridan’s Scouts and Grant’s Secret Service and receive your mission commands from famous generals including Robert E. Lee, “Stonewall” Jackson, and Ulysses Grant.
The action in HISTORY Civil War: Secret Mission accurately reflects the guerrilla tactics of the time period. Weapons include the shotgun, the pepperbox revolver and the coffee mill gun, and there is heavy reliance on scouts and naval warfare.

Newly released today:
features
Breathtaking Graphics Resembling a Watercolor Painting in Motion. The “CANVAS” graphics engine, created exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3, brings this never-before-seen style to life
Battle with direct control in action sequences just as in action games, while also maneuvering through the vast world with strategic moves typical of tactical RPGs

description
The stage is set in Europe around 1930s. In this alternate universe, Europe was split into the “East European Empire Union” and the “Atlantic Ocean federal Organization” and for years and years, these two superpowers have been seeking to unify Europe through a large scale war, named European War II (E.W.II). Heroes often emerge in these chaotic times, and in a small, neutral country, Galia, such a young man came forward to join the fight.
Galia was falling under the onslaught of the Empire's overwhelming forces, but before the enemies could take the capital, Welkin Gunther, the leader of a small army faction thwarted the military giant's plans and entered historical records as a hero.
The screens in the game are filled with a dusky tint, the lines are smooth and the palette is subdued yet warm. Aside from its distinctive graphics, the sounds in the game is just as impressive. The epic storyline coupled with the rich graphics and sounds supported by the third generation consoles creates a world that players immerse themselves fully into.
Senjou no Valkyria is a turn based RPG that combines strategy with action. Proceed with the game the way you read a history book. Read the text and get involved in the battle parts, depending on the options you have chosen or the battles you have fought, the game rewards you with more chapters to your “book”.

This goes right along with the GNU way of thinking. One item, one purpose. Together they can make something worthwhile. Each function, or set of functions, has it's own purpose. Quite a few updates since last time I sent this in.
Now, onto the real matters.
Readme: (Too large for this message)
http://www.tshiso.com/downloads/bakon/README
Main options:
Hump with L
See through walls on button press
Knife people online
Anti-Lobby boot
Anti-Server freeze
Edit your players speed
Choose between a variety of sticking explosives options
Make everyone who's in a game's name the same as yours.
Toggle Perfect Target Lock
Mod your command equity
Toggle Walk through walls(Vertical clipping)
View the stack pointer area and mod accordingly
When you're in game, it will show your coordinates and score in the UI (Have to verify the pointers of course)
Mod your scores more specifically
Mod your coordinates more exactly
Toggle jump on square press(AKA Hotkeys)
Toggle crawl in water
Toggle move while dead
No-Fog; Just zoom in and fog is gone(always enabled)
Keyboard used for NitePR format code 'Text in game'
RA Finder
Splash Screen Loader
Address watcher
Custom Menu(s)
Version 1 Changelog:
Build 1.1:
-Added Custom Menu(s) (For source code modders who complain about not being able to do anything)
The menu(s) is/are quite complicated yet simple, if that makes sense
-Various crap here and there
-Changed name listed at bottom to properly accommodate the developers alias.
Build 1:
-Added the suffix ICE because it's cold, and I felt the need to follow the seasons.
-Optimized heavily
-Hook Thread for it's own
-When the menu is called to, it will create a thread, and when it's done, it will end it, this is to prevent lag, drastically; UI treated as a frontend
-Various functions changed slightly
-Colors changed
-Way more stable in terms of menu and what not, for a flicker now is a rare sight
-Delays changed up in support of each priority
-MWD/Jump speed increased due to above
-Logger augmented
-If the name animator does not detect file, it shuts down the hijack and bricker(animator) threads, for that alone reduces quite a lot of lag for people who commonly use RemoteJoyLite(I specified because the older remotejoy doesn't like to work on new kernels, which happen to be what this is made for), the means if you want to use less lag and what not, rename your pspbricker.txt for the time being
-If you press L+R+Select, it will slow down the bricker thread, to furthur anti lag, while using an imposter
-Uses "Tonic"'s True Jump in replacement of the old ghetto Hotkey jump
Download:
http://tshiso.com/downloads/bakon/bi...on_1.02.tar.gz
Full Source Code:
http://tshiso.com/downloads/bakon/sr...on_1.02.tar.gz
This has a fairly large base of people who use it, I've been told. Like last time, I advise users to not use this online, because it plain ruins the game. If you are going to use it, use it in Ad Hoc or campaign.

News from LBGShi
Before I begin, I should note that Oobles gave the OK for me to make this thread, and the project on the PS2Dev.org main site as well. Given the atmosphere, and that some PS2Dev members are quite opposed to cheat/hacking systems, it would be a grave error not to mention that, so I hope Oobles doesn't mind my name-dropping
For some time now (several years, off and on), GSHI.org administrative staff and several select members of the scene have been working, in secret, on something tentatively called Project Artemis: a hacking system for the Playstation 2. The primary goal of this project is to allow users to create, or hack, their own cheat and game enhancement codes, using RAM-dumping, dump comparison, constant memory writes for testing, breakpoints, and as many other tools as feasible.
The project is far from complete. There have been quite a few stumbling blocks, and some impressive progress has been made. Through several primary coders (Sang123, Hit n' Run Games, misfire, Shyam Narain, Xerxes Technologies, cYs Driver), it has been determined that...
A: Hiring a company to design such a system will result in either paying tens of thousands of dollars, or ending up with a company that cannot complete the project, and...
B: Hiring a solitary coder, such as a skilled member of the scene, will eventually result in the coder being overwhelmed.
Hence, lacking the necessary funds to hire a coding group or company adept enough to complete the task at hand within a reasonable amount of time, we have made the best decision possible, with Artemis, GSHI, and the scene in mind: to bring the project out of the darkness, and into the realm of open source.
If anyone is interested in contributing (even an indication of interest in the project helps!), feel free to make a post, if only to say so. We will continue to chronicle our progress, research, and thoughts here: http://gshi.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=56
...though I will be quite happy to respond to any questions or comments you have here as well. There is also a SubVersion repository for Artemis at http://gshi.org/svn/artemis/, with some of misfire's recent work, and quite a bit more source from various authors will likely be committed in the near future.

Heres an unnofficial custom firmware by alpha:
Alpha has just released a patch to update Dark_AleX's 5.00 M33-3 firmware with the features from 5.01.
This is not an official release by Dark_AleX, but a patch made by a fan. Here's what Alpha has to say.
As Dark_AleX probably isn't going to make 5.00 M33, here is a small patch to use the latest features
Plus an hex-edited vshctrl.prx to say 5.01 M33.
Tested and working on Slim and Classic PSP's
Again, ALL credits goes to Dark_AleX, I only updated, HEX-edited vshctrl, and wrote this flasher.
*It only flashes the changed modules, so it only works from 5.00 M33-3.
Copy the contents of ms_root to your memory stick.
If you used this before, please run it again, a very nasty bug has been fixed.

Bubbletune has updated his Game Categories Plugin yesterday, heres the release details:
This plugin allows you to categorize your game menu and keep it more organized.
Requirements:
- A PSP with 5.00 M33-3 or higher (it may break in the future, therefor I will update it as soon as I have the chance to do so)
Instructions:
- Copy game_categories.prx to the seplugins folder and enable it in the recovery.
- Create folders prefixed with 'CAT_' in the GAME, GAME150, GAME5XX or ISO folder.
- Fill them with everything you want to appear for that specific category (if you have the same category name in two or more folders they will be mixed).
- Keep the Sony file length limitations in mind, due to the name of the category being added to the total length, the length of each filename will increase even more. If a corrupt icon shows up, try lowering the length of the filename.
- Boot your PSP, open vshmenu and select the appropriate category (a new option will be added by the plugin, this will happen seamlessly and everything should keep working).
Notes:
- If you change category while currently in the game menu, it will automatically leave the game menu and recache the directory.
- A 'Show all' and 'Uncategorized' option are available in case you need them.
-----
Just before I was about to release this plugin, I saw MK2k's APPSwitcher hit the forums.
After checking it out I still believe that this plugin is useful to release for numerous reasons.
Differences:
- No need for a configuration file, everything is detected.
- Convenient integration in the vshmenu for quick switching.
- Patches the IoFileMgr driver directly instead of renaming the folders.
- Loads entirely in kernel memory as opposed to user memory (reduces crashes).
- Recaches the game menu without anything required to be done by the user.
- It has 'Show all' and 'Uncategorized' options.
Nonetheless, I thank MK2k for his contribution to the scene
-----
Have fun.

Davee has released and fixed his CTF Upacker for the PSP:
This will extract the contents of a CTF and repatch the vshmain, paf and common_gui to the original prx state.
Install:
In same dir as ctfextractor.exe make a folder called "originals" and place an uncompressed vshmain.prx, paf.prx and common_gui.prx in a subfolder within with the firmware version. eg. originals/500/vshmain.prx ..
Reason for those prx's is so the program can load it and patch it and save it with the changes, like what CXMB does on the PSP.
Usage: Open command prompt and go to the dir containing ctfextractor.exe.
Type: "ctfextractor [ctf-file]" and replace [ctf-file] with the ctf file. It will make a folder with the same name as the CTF and extract it in there.

Captain Morgan posted some news and screens of goldeneye working on this new N64 emu for PSP:
Even though the alpha 2 plays Goldeneye better I beat the first level on the highest difficulty and completed the mission 100% on alpha 1. Only real reason was because I deleted alpha 2 of my psp since it was slower for other roms then 007. Anyway when you get down into the tunnel part of the Dam the FPS picks up alot because of the closed space and the shakiness stops. In level 2 it seems the speed is really nice, running at like a minimal of 12fps and high of 28, even though these pictures below don't exactly say it because after I click screenshot the fps goes down to take the pic but then returns so. Anyway here are so pics for Kreationz or whoever so they can see the green texture errors throughout level 2, just for future reference. It took alot of patience to beat level 1 and play a good bit of level 2 but the speed wasn't too painful so this project just keeps looking better!
also Kreationz posted this:
Actually the speed difference is going to be an indoor vs outdoor thing, for out door rendering 007 uses a special cache method that's difficult to replicate on the psp, but rest assured CM the Alpha 3 won't have the slow downs of alpha two as the changes are now menu selectable... Also been slowly finding tiny bit here and there so it may be even faster than Alpha 1 was. For instance Zelda OoT is back up to R13 speed with better texture support and working on a way to make it faster.
No Downloads as of yet but with so many different coders working together this should finally bring some nice interest back to N64 emulation on the PSP

The unknown coder who released a new version of the GBA Emulator for the PSP has again released a a bugfix version which increases compatability with games such as vrally3 and the like.
as always you are most likely better to use the real exophase release but as always try it and report back, ive uploaded both releases as you need to stick the files in the second zip into the other release.

If you've put countless hours into crafting a level in Media Molecule's uber-customizable platformer, you know how terrifying that headline really is -- LittleBigPlanet forums across the web are erupting with angry amateur level designers whose creations were 'moderated' (see: deleted) without explanation or forewarning. You read that right -- the levels aren't being removed from your list of published, downloadable creations. They are being deleted. Permanently. Forever. Gone.
Affected parties have noticed that the moderations have erased levels which mention (to varying degrees) copyrighted IPs. For instance, that remarkable God of War level that everyone probably played during beta? It is no more. The gaggle of Super Mario Bros. reimaginings? Yeah, those are gone too. Our personal favorite -- a level titled "Failure to Launch" was deleted, supposedly for using the title of a 2006 McConnaughey-infused romantic comedy. Sadly, our very own magnum opus also fell beneath the axe -- yes, "Maid in Manhattan" is gone, and no amount of protest will bring it back.
Moderators of the engulfed LBP forums have promised to implement a stronger feedback system to explain why levels are disappearing -- though their unwavering stance on copyrighted content has officially been displayed. Our lesson has certainly been learned -- we'll be keeping our rom-com-based creations to ourselves from now on.

LittleBigPlanet is all about the user-generated content, and to get a handle on the creative tools at your disposal the developers have included a story mode, demonstrating the title’s level creation techniques within the familiar setting of a sidescrolling adventure title. Setting the whimsical tone for the game as a whole, the introductory movie depicts several still shots of people sleeping—in buses, bathtubs, and against trees—with pastel-hued stickers floating up from their heads. These knickknacks collect in the darkness of space, forming the titular landscape of LittleBigPlanet. This, your SackPerson’s “ethereal world,” as the genteel English narrator calls it, can be explored and enhanced with the varieties of objects and fabrics collected during the story mode. It is also an opportunity to draw inspiration from the levels designed by the folks at Media Molecule.
Your Sackboy starts off in a transparent-walled satellite called a POD floating in orbit. From there you can look down on the dream planet, whose continents all correspond to areas on the earth’s map. At the start you are given the option of selecting the LittleBig equivalent of Surrey, England—where the game was created. The circular icon standing for this location, resembling a badge sewn into the fabric of the plush globe, opens like a porthole so that you can jump inside. Your character enters the stage designed by Media Molecule, passing by photos of all the team members, a riff on the cinematic routine of opening credits. Here the narrator tells you how to move your head and pelvis around by tilting the SIXAXIS, and how to change your facial expression using the D-pad buttons.
Before long you can move beyond the intro stage to the continent of Europe, whose levels we are told were designed not by the game developers, but by “the King.” This is just one of the Creator Curators, giants made of wooden blocks and googly eyes that tower over your Sackboy and introduce to you the ins and outs of level creation. One of the King’s first stages is the Garden, where you learn how to grab onto objects using the R1 button and drag them around, or swing from hanging orbs using the same technique. Right at the getgo you can drag a beanbag over to the King and use it to scale his shoulder, thereby reaching some hidden items located on the rooftops in the background. Once you have collected these items, they can be selected at any time by hitting the square button and cycling through your stash, represented as icons inside an illuminated floating lasso.
One way to collect materials while traveling through the story mode is by keeping an eye out for cardboard cutouts. You will happen upon two of these early on in in the Garden, which appear in the shape of a star and tea kettle. Pressing the square button, you can bring up the lasso-shaped Popit Menu and select these items from your collection. Upon sticking the star and tea kettle stickers to the cutouts, you will be rewarded with several new materials and items falling magically from the sky. Your Sackboy can be dressed in the various wardrobe items you acquire along the winding road of the story mode. (There is also a function allowing you to select apparel at random until you have arrived upon a getup that suits your style.) Before long the basics of LittleBigPlanet become second nature. The next step in traversing the Africa and South America-themed stages is to imagine just what kind of landscape you would wish to design yourself.

Audio Mechanica V8c
Hi Guys,
Here is the Audio Mechanica V8c release with support for all PSP microphone hardware,
On screen keyboard for file naming, RAM buffered recording option, and improved GUI.
This small update adds a web browser to check for updates,
and the ability to return to the mode menu at any time
instead of having to exit and re launch the program.
Screenshots
... and here's a cool animated gif of the wave monitor! 
Please read the documentation for a full explaination of features.
I tried to implement a playback mode for this release,
but doing it directly from Memory Stick has given me trouble.
Maybe I'll have better luck with it in future.
Cheers, Art.

Released today, iR Shell, developed by Ahman, has returned in version 4.7. It includes native support for custom firmware 5.00 M33-3 and a number of updates and improvements. Guess what it also has got in store for PSP Phat users? Infrared remote control learning! The site has been revamped by osgeld and is looking great.
Full release notes written by Ahman below:
It has been a long time since the last iR Shell public release. Osgeld of irshell.org admin has convinced me to make another release, so here it is. You can thank him for bringing me out of retirement.
Below is the list of new feature summary:
- Support Dark_AleX latest 5.00M33-3 CFWs. Users of original 5.00M33 & M33-2 should upgrade to M33-3 to avoid incompatibility issues. The latest Popsloader 5.00 is also supported.
- An Infra-Red learning remote is added for PSP Phat. You no longer need to hunt pronto codes for your appliances. Just point your remote unit at the PSP and it will learn the iR code. It is available under higher firmwares and not fw 1.5 mode. Refer to the Release Note for usage details.
- The nethostfs connection handling has been redesigned to be more robust. However, iR Shell 4.7 and onwards can only connect to the new nethostfs PC server v2.1. Make sure you've updated the nethostfs PC server.
- Enhance UMD/ISO game compatibility via nethostfs MAX mode. Most previous failed games will probably work.
- Usbhostfs & nethostfs host redirection under XMB has returned.
- The Adhoc PC connection for nethostfs was broken since fw 3.71. This feature has been brought back for PSP Phat.
- Enhance the HTML Plugin (by Dark_AleX) to allow direct launching of flash games with extension SWF.
Special thanks to:
- Osgeld for spending so much effort in resurrecting irshell.org.
- Dark_AleX for the M33 custom firmwares and his assistance to help adding popsloader support.
- Tyranid and other developers in ps2dev.org for creating the pspsdk.
- Osgeld, StoneCut, F34R and other moderators who keep irshell.org running and providing technical support to the community.
- All iR Shell beta testers, donators, skins & plugin contributors.
Credits:
- M33 Custom firmware & popsloader are developed by Dark_AleX/M33.
- remotejoy & usbhostfs are developed by Tyranid.
- iR Shell bundled skins & plugins are developed by their corresponding authors.
- iR Shell Manual & FAQs are written by StoneCut.

I used this method for a DC based 5.00 M33-3 because, it does not change DC 7, everything works, and uses the same files. (I only renamed one) I only added the 2nd menu which simply runs Alex's 5.00 M33-3 installer just like you would from the XMB. You will need the 5.00 SCE updater in the ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ folder. You can also take screenshots in the 4.01 version of DC 7 only by pressing the note key.
Just copy the files to the root of your MS.
Enjoy
Edit:
Sorry, messed up 
All the file are correct just the directory structure is messed up. The file is double packed.
If you want this feel free to download it:

Updated README:
Sorry for the mix up.
I need a sanity tester (beta tester)

DICE has released the Battlefield: Bad Company Community Choice Pack on Xbox Live.
The bundle is free and contains two single-player levels transformed into multiplayer areas. These were voted the best candidates by fans of the game, and DICE picked a couple of its own, too, taking the tally up to four.
Par For the Course and Acta Non Verba emerged as community favourites after voting began in September, while DICE chose to convert Crossing Over and Ghost Town.
Battlefield: Bad Company was released over the summer and took a more single-player, story-based approach to the series - although a deep and varied online component was also included.

Sony UKs managing director Ray Maguire has admitted that the company takes it time bringing products to market - but he argued that the PlayStation 3 is now hitting its stride as competing formats could be seen as past their peak.
"Yes, we might take a bit longer sometimes to bring a product to market, but when we do, we bring you the most powerful gaming platform ever to hit - and it will be something that will around for a very long time," said Maguire, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz.
"It's nowhere near even halfway through its lifecycle, and I could argue that some other competing formats are on their way down right now," he added.
Maguire said it's difficult fulfilling expectations and demands of consumers who want results immediately, joking that, "what we haven't worked out how to do yet is have a child in less than nine months."
On the forthcoming release of online social networking service Home, Maguire said it's crucial the product is finished on day one, rather than released to the public and patched at a later date.
"We have to make sure that things are born at the right time, that the infrastructures are right and are tested, and that they actually work. It's one of the things that PlayStation has been known for - a plug-and-play mentality, rather than a patch-patch mentality."
"Getting it right is more important than getting it out quick, and I think it's very difficult to make that decision, to hold something up, but again I think it was the right decision to make sure that we were defining along the line where it is that we're trying to go to."
The full interview with Ray Maguire will be published on GamesIndustry.biz tomorrow.

Laser Invaders V5
Hi Guys,
This is probably the last update for this one since it
is now how I imagined it should be from the start.
This is a laser control game based on the PSP laser control idea by califrag.
Laser Invaders is coded from scratch, using the ps2dev.org Go!Cam demo
as a template.
Version 5 has a moving starfeild which is removed from the screenshot
because in a still shot, it just looks like a bunch of dots.
All of the original invaders feature in this version of the game,
and for Laser Invaders V5, Intrafont text has been implemented.
The screenshot doesn't really convey the idea, so here's the videos:
PSP and laser area view of V1:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9kmoSB73c
PSP screen closeup of V2:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=j97p1ePJyh8
The idea is to shoot all invaders in as short time as possible.
Shooting special invaders will win you time bonuses which are
deducted from the time before the skill level report is calculated.
The time is displayed at the end of the game, and then any earned
time bonus is subtracted before determining the player skill level.
Laser Invaders requires a Go!Cam if that wasn't already obvious.
Cheers, Art.

What would it take to stop you from gaming? If you said being bedridden, hooked up to various machines with limited use of your limbs, then you are a complete wuss. Just ask PlayStation 3 forum poster KitsuneYume, who built a PS3 controller he works with his entire body, including his mouth. While the setup won't win any product design awards, it allows Kitsune there access to 20 out of 25 possible controller functions using 16 switches and a joystick he controls with his tongue, all wired into a standard PS3 controller.
The main reason I put this on the PlayStation website was to show people that even the most limited person can still enjoy console gaming just as much... anyone else. the controller was pretty easy to make except for converting the analog signals into digital signals for when I use the various switches. this took about two months to build and get working effectively.

Sony Computer Entertainment needs to "work a little bit harder" on getting across the message about the cross-platform functionality between the company's flagship living room and handheld consoles.
That's according to SCE UK boss Ray Maguire, who told GamesIndustry.biz that it's a contrast with the messaging when the PlayStation 3 was first released - which was weaker on the games side of things.
"When we first started - because all the functionality [on the PS3] was radical - we talked about that functionality," he said in an interview at the Games 3.0 event last month. "And in doing that, maybe we weren't strong enough on the games side of it.
"Now, with the strength of the games we've got coming out, this Christmas we're definitely about the games. From our own first party, and also third party, there's a feast of games for PS3 this year.
"At the same time though, because we've been out for a couple of years now, people are starting to understand and discover the functionality of things like PlayTV, and that's created the desire for people to upgrade to larger hard disk sizes. I just recently put a 320GB drive in mine.
"I think people are starting to come to grips with that, but what's probably lesser known is the relationship between PS3 and PSP and the Remote Play functionality.
"Those are the things we have to work a little bit harder on - the GPS functionality, the camera functionality - all of those elements which of course give us content to sit on the PS3," he added.
The full interview with SCE UK boss Ray Maguire is available now.

Sony Computer Entertainment needs to "work a little bit harder" on getting across the message about the cross-platform functionality between the company's flagship living room and handheld consoles.
That's according to SCE UK boss Ray Maguire, who told GamesIndustry.biz that it's a contrast with the messaging when the PlayStation 3 was first released - which was weaker on the games side of things.
"When we first started - because all the functionality [on the PS3] was radical - we talked about that functionality," he said in an interview at the Games 3.0 event last month. "And in doing that, maybe we weren't strong enough on the games side of it.
"Now, with the strength of the games we've got coming out, this Christmas we're definitely about the games. From our own first party, and also third party, there's a feast of games for PS3 this year.
"At the same time though, because we've been out for a couple of years now, people are starting to understand and discover the functionality of things like PlayTV, and that's created the desire for people to upgrade to larger hard disk sizes. I just recently put a 320GB drive in mine.
"I think people are starting to come to grips with that, but what's probably lesser known is the relationship between PS3 and PSP and the Remote Play functionality.
"Those are the things we have to work a little bit harder on - the GPS functionality, the camera functionality - all of those elements which of course give us content to sit on the PS3," he added.
The full interview with SCE UK boss Ray Maguire is available now.

SEGA has told Eurogamer that the PS3 version of Sonic Unleashed has been pushed back to an unspecific date in December.
However, all other versions - Xbox 360, Wii and PS2 - will launch as expected on 28th November.
The publisher also doused speculation that the European release of Sonic Unleashed would be sub-standard in comparison to the delayed Japanese version, which was apparently held back to improve quality.
"Some fans living [outside of Japan] have become concerned that there will be a difference in quality between the version of the game released in Japan and the version released outside of Japan. This is not the case and we apologise for this misunderstanding," a spokesperson for SEGA told us.
"The difference in the international release dates is based on the sales strategy and the manufacturing schedule. There will be no quality difference between the North American/European/Asia release and the Japanese version. Please be assured we are doing our best to deliver a top quality experience to people all over the globe."
The spokesperson added, for all of our Japanese readers out there: "We still cannot announce the release date in Japan, but we should be able to do so shortly. Our apologies to Sonic fans in Japan, who we must ask to wait a while longer."
Sonic Unleashed has kept a low-profile since being announced back in April, when we were promised a return to the roots of the hedgehog series.
We're not sure if this is a bad omen, but we've not got long to find out.

A batch of new media for the PS3 version of Eternal Sonata's hit the airwaves, with a new trailer for the game and 15 screens here for your viewing pleasure.
PS3 owners may have had to wait a little longer (ok, a year and a half) for the RPG than Xbox 360 fans, but they'll be getting new gameplay quests, a revitalised story, brand new costumes and two new playable characters in Serenade and Prince Crescendo.
Xbox World 360 called Eternal Sonata "simple, relaxing and charming", and "an RPG for those who don't normally have the time", but also said it could be a little "too shallow for RPG veterans".
PS3 owners will have the chance to find out in February 2009.

We're barely surviving 2008's consumerism climax and already publishers are dangling their 2009 wares in front of us. Alright, Square Enix, we'll play your despicable game, if only to take our minds off the current gaming glut. Square Enix's North American (and heavily subtitled) lineup for Q1 2009 is as follows:
Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP / 6 Jan.): Being the remastered portable version of the interstellar -- and considered by some to be just plain stellar -- sequel. Features new voice work, new cutscenes and people crying in space.
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (DS / 17 Feb.): Being the hitherto unlocalized entry in the venerable RPG series. Yes, Dragon Ball Z guy designed these characters too.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope (Xbox 360 / 3 Mar.): Being tri-Ace's long-awaited continuation of the science-fiction franchise. The subtitle implies that this is a big deal for the Xbox 360 in Japan.
Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume (DS / 17 Mar.): Being the third instalment in the respected Valkyrie Profile series. If you're looking for an explanation of the title, we're afraid you're plume out of luck.

The Rogue Clone for DS/GBA and PSP has been updated, heres whats new:
Thanks to Bill Blake there is a PS3 Linux port of POWDER! His announcement can be found here.
Keeping with POWDER tradition, a long time between releases does not mean there was some huge secret code being worked on that took this long to get ready. It means I was busy with other stuff. That said, there are a good number of fixes in this version. Most important is likely the Safe Walk ability, derived from a patch by Andreas Bohm, which lets non-DS users the ability to avoid accidentally attacking kiwis when they go careening through the hallways. The intent is you can bind it to, say, [L], and then hold that when you want to move safely. If you want [L] to attack, you can change the global option. SDL users may use the ctrl key. Unless they are using vi-keys in which case I'm afraid they are out of luck for now. I can only hope those players believe that Safe Walk is for weaklings.
The mouse will work again for the onscreen keyboard in SDL builds. (Ilya, Teun Peelen)
Description when wearing necro dress code spells servant right. (David Damerell, Andreas Bohm)
Vacuum correctly spelled in death message. (David Damerell)
"Click on your self to search" rather than Clicking. (Narius Varigor)
Starting as cultist will immediately tell you ><0|V|'s whim. (hotpoo)
Loading a save game worshiping ><0|V| will likewise report the whim.
Zapping a hostile wand of create monster will have a chance of the creature turning on you. (hotpoo)
New boon from gods: hostile creatures surrounding you can be smitten. (Indirectly Ambvai)
Earth hammers can be forged into artifact earth hammers with the proper setup. (David Damerell)
Level up hitpoints and magic points are now 2d2+1 rather than 1d4+1, giving a tighter distribution and slight boost to the average. (Teun Peelen)
Earth hammers have an encyclopedia entry. (David Damerell)
When you can move in diagonals you can use the diagonals of the numberpad. (Andreas Bohm)
There is now a SafeWalk mode which stops you from attacking when walking about. You can toggle this by pressing Ctrl when using the arrow keys or binding the Safe Walk command to a button in GBA mode. (Andreas Bohm)
The delete key works the same as the backspace key, a useful feature on Macs whose keyboards lack a backspace. (Roger Bolton)
Wishing for a level teleport no longer uses atoi() so hopefully works on gpsphone. (Roger Bolton)
We now promote room flags to map flags when loading. This way loading the game on the final levels will not turn the levels into floor-diggable and hence suddenly create holes to short-circuit the levels. (Ambvai, debugged by Andreas Bohm)
A case where you could achieve barbarian dress code despite not wearing armour is fixed. (Malte Helmert)
You now gain piety for the barbarian and necro dress codes. (Malte Helmert)
You can no longer move diagonally if both orthogonal directions are blocked by walls.
Spells cast when you have the can dig intrinsic will no longer disintegrate earth elementals. (SparroHawc)

Okay, so you may have heard stories like this before. That however won't stop me from telling mine though, so here goes...
After waiting about 8 days or so, my 3600mah battery I ordered from eBay came in. First thing I noticed, it felt light and somewhat flimsy than my official Sony 1800mah ones and upon registering that, I had a feeling that the they weren't going to last long in terms of runtime as expected from a high-capacity battery.
After charging it up in my PSP which took about the usual 2 hours or so, I turned on the unit to test drive the battery. It drained out in about 3-4 hours on normal 222mHz clock speed and the lowest brightness setting where my official two year old 1800mah Sony battery went for over 6 or so. I was thinking, "That's definitely not right, the runtime on the 3600mah battery is shorter than my old Sony one."
Since the price was cheap at £4 with free shipping, I decided to crack it open and whoo, what have we here...?
If you've ever opened an official Sony PSP battery, you'll have seen that the cell pack is bigger. On this particular one, it's smaller by about 40%, what a joke. The rest of the space is filled up with a metal weight that doesn't even make an impression when closed is anywhere equivalent to an official one as one can see below.
The process of cracking open the battery was easier than I thought it would be for the case parts were just simply glued into place. Certainly not like the Sony ones where I think the pieces clip in and that one must do more work to open it.
So in short, take care when buying any capacity PSP battery on eBay. Better yet, don't bother, no matter how cheap it and weather or not it has free shipping. That £5 or so can go to better things, like a couple of beers at the pub or other.

News/release from Rex_VF5
OK boys and girls (if any here). As my first project on PSP and an attempt to do some C/C++ coding I decided non-the-less to do UPNP client (I aim for PS3 look-and-feel - i.e. integrated into XMB creating a virtual drive holding all the UPnP servers & available media). The base for this is to be provided by Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp 1.6.6) With a pthread PSP port it only took few hours to replace some stuff not available on PSP (more time was spent to learn about setting up toolchain, configure scripts, etc). I added conditional compilation everywhere so it should be possible to build for other platforms from the modified sources (haven't tested it though). Here's what to do:
0) Get pthread-emb, cd platform/psp; make; sudo make install Do not forget to copy pthread.h and sched.h to your `psp-config --psp-prefix`/include directory
1) Apply the provided diff to the libupnp-1.6.6 source
2) ./configure.psp.sh --disable-samples --enable-debug
3) sudo make install
4) cd upnp/test; make
The last step should produce runnable test_init stuff.prx, EBOOT.PBP and PARAM.SFO which should start and stop basic stuff and show some info about it like this:
Code:
UPNP_VERSION_STRING = "1.6.6"
UPNP_VERSION_MAJOR = 1
UPNP_VERSION_MINOR = 6
UPNP_VERSION_PATCH = 6
UPNP_VERSION = 10606
UPNP_HAVE_DEBUG = yes
UPNP_HAVE_CLIENT = yes
UPNP_HAVE_DEVICE = yes
UPNP_HAVE_WEBSERVER = yes
UPNP_HAVE_TOOLS = yes
Initializing UPnP ...
UPnP Initialized OK ip=192.168.1.3, port=49152
I included a netdialog sample into it to connect to AP at the beginning. However it crashes in pthread-emb in thread creation in harmless(?) assignment of result to a variable - see my post in pthread-emb thread Also I found later that pthread-psp-test hangs on Semaphore test #4 (maybe unrelated to the this thing).
Any help getting this up and running is warmly welcomed. I am really stuck. There is high probability I screwed up something as I am new to PSP development and haven't coded in C/C++ in years (I do Java). I believe many could benefit from having this library working...

I think an English version is coming in a month or two but here’s a brief guide for adhocParty (or Ad-Hoc Party) if you are having problems using the Japanese version, which was made available yesterday. I’m very poor with instructions but hope this helps.
Also thanks to Sony for suddenly making my dozens of PSP games fun again
What you need
PS3 and PSP on their latest firmware
PS3 is Wi-Fi ready (20Gb owners, sorry…)
PS3 is connected to Internet via a cable (and not wireless)
A Japanese PSN account
Set-up
Download the application from the Japanese PSN (5Mb)
Install and launch it from the Game menu
Click on “adhoc” (the third button), it will starts searching for a PSP
Launch MHP 2ndG and enter the Online Guild Hall (or the ad-hoc lobby of other games that might support the feature)
You should see your PSP system name on your PS3 screen very soon
Exit “adhoc” (press X), click on “Start” (the first button) and you’ll see World A group of lobbies, use the L1/R1 to switch between different World and the Left analog stick to pick a lobby (red colored tabs for full and blue for empty)
Enter a lobby with the Circle button, you can use the directional buttons to view the next lobby
In the lobby, move your cursor to a room (a house icon) or player and click with the Circle button to view their details
To enter a room, click on “Enter” (the second button on the pop-up), you should be able to see other players in the room and a few seconds later, they will be in the lobby of MHP 2ndG. You can wait until four players have joined the room or you can start a quest with the available players
If you are having trouble finding a suitable rooms (most are not properly titled, exit by pressing the Triangle button and click on the last button), just create one by moving the cursor to yourself, there will be a pop-up with options to change your username or create a room. Make one and wait for others to join.
Enjoy!

News from Kreationz
As far as we the devs know the final issues we had are gone. The Beta 1 Release Candidate is in circulation among our Alpha Testers. After this final set of checks we will be releasing the Beta 1 in less than 18hrs from this message for public release.
We still have big plans for Beta 2 and it will likely take longer than three weeks this time around, but we may release a patch update if bugs are found that we can put a quick fix to. 4 Devs have contributed code to this build. Others are planning on code for the Beta 2. We still have a long ways to go, but we feel that it's time to let everyone enjoy the work we have put in so far.

Heres a video of the emulator in action:

News/release from Maxthe best:
Hi everyone.
I'm just releasing an early version of my new homebrew: The Game Of Life: Sound Of Life.
So, basically, this is a game of life obeying to Conway's law, with just 1 cool feature added: this one can generate sound (the sound of life ).
So, here are the functions and controls:
-At the beginning of the game, a life pattern is randomly generated. You can renew it pressing Select.
-You can change the pitch of the sound generated by pressing UP and DOWN
-You can change the shape of the generated sound by pressing Square for square waves, Circle for Sin, and Triangle for Triangle.
And that's it for the moment, but more is to be coming, like:
-Possibility to create your own life pattern/edit it during the evolution.
-Possibility to pause the evolution (and check for example how many generations have happened since the beginning)
-Load known patterns, such as gliders, canons, or whatever.
By the way, I'm pretty sure one game of life already exists, coded in lua, but well, I wanted my own, and I'm sure that this one has a bigger matrix which can make it more interesting. (here the matrix is about: 2300 cells big.).

The Yakuza 3 battle system has at last come to light. As usual, the source of the scoopage is Famitsu, which has a couple of pages on the big PS3 sequel in its latest issue.
Previously, Sega has revealed that game's battle system will be seamless. Different from past entries in the series, you won't have to wait one bit for battle to start. Famitsu confirms that the game switches right into battle mode as you're walking down the street.
Accompanying the smoother switch to battle is a new type of fighting. Yakuza 3 will feature an all new "chase battle" system. When speaking with foes on the street, they may decide to run away. You'll then be tasked with chasing your fleeing rival. To do this successfully, you need to make sure and not lose sight of the enemy, either visually or on the mini map that's displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. While running, you'll have to deal with obstacles, leaping over trash cans to keep apace.
Details are scarce at the moment, but the game displays a couple of mysterious gauges during these sequences. One appears to indicate the distance between you and your rival, while the other may show your stamina.
In addition to your rivals running away, you'll also find yourself with the option to flee.
All other areas of the standard battle system appear to be seeing improvements for Yakuza 3. The game has more advanced "heat action" special attacks, including some that make use of nunchaku, apparently an Okinawan specialty (the game takes place partially in Okinawa, in case you haven't been paying attention to the updates). You'll also find a more realistic battle environment, with bystanders stopping or fleeing and your rival's gang members approaching the fight, grabbing Kiryu from behind, and joining in.
Also new for Yakuza 3 is a "tag tournament mode" for the game's fighting arena, an area that lets you face off against powerful enemies. As the name suggests, this mode has Kiryu teaming up with a tag partner for the fight. The two make use of cooperative heat action moves.
Yakuza has always been known for an enjoyable battle system complementing the adult drama, and from the looks of things combat in Yakuza 3 is going to be better than ever! Spring 2009 (in Japan, at least) can't come soon enough!

Capcom has warned us that the 1994 Street Fighter film is coming out on Blu-ray.
Street Fighter: Extreme Edition will be out in US shops from 10th February 2009, which is around the same time that new film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li launches there.
But let's go back to the '90s, when Jean-Claude Van Damme took a starring role as Guile, and Kylie Minogue sprung up as Cammy. By all accounts the live action film was bobbins, but will return in 1080p with 5.1 sound nonetheless, according the Capcom blog.
There are also numerous bonus features: trailers for SF IV game and anime; a Making Of documentary, out-takes and deleted scenes; storyboard and videogame sequences; and miscellaneous Cyberwalk, Archive and My Scenes features.
There's commentary from film director Steven de Souza, too, plus BD Live and My Scenes bits and bobs.
We'll probably buy it.

So, I made an application/gadget called "Instant Rimshot PSP". Obviously inspired by instantrimshot.com, but I wanted a portable version of it, so I sat down and coded this little thing in C++.
You can get it here:

Studios are pimping out Blu-ray titles heavily this holiday, and it may be the first time that we see a significant amount of players hovering around the $200 mark. Still, just because the technology is more affordable doesn't mean everyone will be ready to get on board. The economy still sucks and there are many people out there who think Blu-ray won't have a long tenure as the top format. So, my question to you is: will you finally go Blu-ray this holiday?

Fear not, Japanese gamers, for your LittleBigPlanet experience also gets an injection of cute this week, with four of the above costumes (all but Sack-Eating Plant and MotorStormer) arriving in tandem with Japanese Sony character Toro.

It emerged last week that user-created LittleBigPlanet levels were being deleted without warning over copyright issues.
Levels containing IP from other games like Sonic and Metal Gear were found to be removed from the online server. Media Molecule said at the time that it was "reviewing the moderating system".
Today Sony has issued CVG a lengthy statement regarding the moderation process and how best to avoid having your levels deleted. Here's the important bit:
"The vast majority of content uploaded to date has been fun and suitable for all of our community members. In a very few cases we have upheld complaints regarding unsuitable content or infringement of intellectual property, with less than 0.5% of levels actively moderated as a result of complaints from other users.
"Sony Computer Entertainment are committed to continually improving our moderation procedure and the methods of communication we use, in particular regarding the reasons that user complaints are upheld. In the meantime, here are some suggestions for all of our creators:
- Ensure that the content you share with other users is suitable for all ages - everybody has access to your level if you publish it
- Please respect other people's intellectual property rights. For example, don't use images, brands or logos that you're not entitled to use.
- If you come across any content that you feel the need to report, then please do it responsibly. Hoax reports will be considered inappropriate behaviour.
"Thanks to everyone that has contributed to LittleBigPlanet so far. Keep enjoying yourselves!"
So, basically, no cock monsters, rip-offs or Mario. You have been warned.

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi has hinted that a playable demo of Capcom's upcoming survival horror game will be announced soon.
"We'll be making an announcement about that relatively soon," he told Eurogamer, in comments relayed by this morning's Resident Evil 5 hands-on preview. Downloadable content is also "possible", he said.
One thing we might not be seeing, however, is a mandatory hard-disk install for Resi 5. Capcom took a bit of a hammering for the duration and size of the Devil May Cry 4 installation, and it sounds as though the publisher paid attention to feedback.
"We're still working on those technical elements in the last couple of months, but we can tell you that if users are dissatisfied with that kind of thing, then it's certainly something we keep in mind when we develop," he said. "We'll do our best to come up with something that users will not criticise, but love..."

Square Enix at long last offered a look today at the special hardware bundle it has planned for the Japanese version of Final Fantasy Dissidia. We'd suggest shielding your eyes if you don't have the ability to import.
The Dissidia hardware bundle combines a boxed (and probably shrink-wrapped) copy of Dissidia with a specially designed PSP-3000. All this comes in a box that resembles the Crisis Core PSP-2000 bundle box, only with a white and black design.
At the center of the package is the PSP-3000 unit. Based off the Pearl White version of the hardware, the special Dissidia unit includes artwork for the game on the front and back.
Even the packaging for the game is getting special treatment through a cover featuring artwork from Yoshitaka Amano. Buyers of the regular version will get a different cover.
The Dissidia bundle will be available in Japan on December 18, simultaneous with the game's standard version. Pricing for the bundle is set at 25,890 yen, making it the exact same price as when buying a standard PSP-3000 system and a standard copy of the game.

Newly released today:
The hack and slash action takes place in a state called Gishuamari during the Sengoku period. By slaying the late ruling family, the Sakurai clan, a man named Fujimori became the state's Daimyo.
As a ruler, he keeps an iron fist on the country and the way with which he took the Daimyo's throne made him enemies amongst the peasants and old noble families.
The player is a stray Samurai with the freedom to join any party, e.g. Fujimori's, the old noble houses' or the peasants.
Of course, with the freedom provided in the game, there are more than one route you can develop your story, betray your old employers and go under a new one, remove yourself from corruptive forces and join the battle for justice etc, just remember that the fate of the state rests within your hands.

During a presentation at the BMO Capital Markets Conference in New York City today, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick gave an update on the release date of “Grand Theft Auto IV“’s downloadable content, saying that it might shift to Spring 2009.
He said, “It’s close to being complete. That said, it may move into the second quarter. Downloadable content is a big undertaking. It is important to be really special.”
As for “Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars,” Zelnick said that the DS game is no longer guaranteed to be released by the end of first quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, which is January 31, 2009. It is now promised to be released in the first half of the fiscal year, which ends in April.

Portable devices were designed to be taken anywhere, but users' top location to use these devices is at home, according to new research by NPD Group.
The firm told Edge, "79 percent [of those polled say] they use their portable device in-home, far more than any other location."
A statement from NPD added, "[This] indicates that these devices may be competing with more stationary entertainment devices for a user’s time."
Overall, the research found that people are using devices such as the smartphone, iPhone, iPod, DS and PSP more today than they were just three months ago.
Media, texting and business applications are all fine uses for portables, but what about gaming and gaming-centric devices like DS and PSP? NPD Group shared with us specific stats from the full report:
PSP
„"Gameplay is the feature used by most (84 percent) on the PlayStation Portable. Slightly more than one third of PSP owners are watching movies (35 percent) and listening to music (33 percent) on their device. The use of these cross category features is changing the scope of this gaming device to an entertainment device."
„"Twenty five percent are listening to music more on their PlayStation Portable [compared to three months ago] and this feature also yields the highest average hours (5.8) among PlayStation Portable owners.
DS„
„"Ninety two percent of Nintendo DS owners are playing games by themselves followed by close to one quarter playing games with friends locally using one game cartridge.„"
"Nintendo DS owners are spending an average of 4.6 hours a week playing games by themselves which outweighs all other game play methods (with friends using one game cartridge, multiple game cartridges or WiFi)."
Apple
"Listening to music dominates iPod usage (96 percent) followed by playing games (20 percent) at a distant second."
"„„iPhones are being treated as entertainment devices. Thirty percent or more iPhone owners are utilizing all of the available features with the exception of watching movies (19 percent) and using business related applications (14 percent)."
"Among iPhone users specifically, the application with the greatest increase in use over the last three months was playing games."
NPD's data was collected from over 3,200 pre-identified sample owners of portable devices from September 16-23.

News/release from Hideous
So, inspired by the awesome site by the name of instantrimshot.com, I thought I wanted something similar, but portable. This was my cue to get into C++ programming with the PSP (previously made games using Allegro and C++ on my PC). So, I am GOING to present to you my first PSP homebrew, which took 2 months to make because of those darned linking orders and such. (actual coding took like 2 or 3 hours).

Another day, another hint at LittleBigPlanet coming to PSP. The latest rumor mongering comes from EGM (via NeoGAF), whose December issue suggests a PSP version will debut in 2009 -- supposedly, it'll be "fantastically ambitious and will further flesh out the PS3 LBP experience." What it won't have, it seems, is Media Molecule at the helm, as the developer is rumored to be working on an online RPG (in addition to a LBP sequel?). Previous mutterings pointed the finger at Sony's Studio Liverpool (WipEout Pulse) being the developer.
Other juicy gossip from the 'zine: Square Enix has quietly canceled Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (gasp!), Capcom is bringing 1980s side-scrolling shooter Forgotten Worlds to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network (more gasps!) and Silicon Knight's unannounced Sega title is now looking for a new publisher. December's EGM should soon be on newsstands everywhere.

The open beta for Sony's virtual world PlayStation Home is scheduled to launch in "the coming weeks", assuming everything goes to plan.
That's according to the project's community manager - or TedTheDog as he's known on the official PS forum - who has given PS3 owners a "rough overview" of the coming weeks.
SCEE will be inviting a large number of extra testers - who have already been chosen - into the closed beta before making it public, but there really, really shouldn't be too long to wait now unless there's some kind of major cock up.
"Finally," TedTheDog said, "Home open beta is the start of a long journey, not the end of one. I know I've said this a lot recently but I see many of you are thinking of Home open beta like a game release in that you're expecting the final version to be launched with just some patches and maybe some DLC to come afterwards.
"Home beta is a service that will grow from the foundation of v1.0 over the coming months and years so thinking of it as a start rather than a finish will help you understand where its going and what its all about. We all appreciate you've been waiting a long time to be a part of this journey and we hope you enjoy it once your onboard with us."
According to Sony's PlayStation Network director, even though it will be in beta, the Home trial will "be a fair representation of what the service can be and its potential".

Were it even slightly informative, we would have made the title of this post "Why You've Always Got to Close With the DeLorean." This week, Criterion revealed the next in a series of DLC that they'll be dropping into Burnout Paradise: the "Toy Car" pack. The nine cars appear to be Paradise Models that have been retooled to resemble ... well, Hot Wheels.
Cool? Sure, it is. But is it cool on the level with a time-travelling relic of the 80s? Well, no. That's why (you guessed it) you've always got to close with the DeLorean.

If there is one sector that is sure to ride out the economic downturn in some comfort it has to be business punditry. Today's instalment in Things That Will Be Either Better Or Worse In The Next Financial Cycle comes from the HD3 Conference in LA, where a panel of entertainment execs discussed how the Blu-Ray format might suffer as the credit crunch begins to bite.
Sony may have won the format wars - seeing HD-DVD driven before them and hearing the lamentation of its early adopters - but longer term the discs may go the way of the Betamax and it's all that pesky economy's fault.
"The economy is the biggest challenge, because there are just so many pieces to the Blu-ray puzzle that consumers face," said Disney's Lori MacPherson, "You need the high-definition television set, you need the player, you need the cables, you need the software . . ."

Mana Khemia’s academic quest missions made it feel like a handheld game. You can play Mana Khemia in small bites rather than marathon-like chunks. Someone at Gust must have had the same thought since they ported Mana Khemia to the PSP.
Mana Khemia: Student Alliance has a meager selection of new features such as a co-op multiplayer mode where you can battle for rare items and a neat technology trick that lets you install a portion of the game on a memory stick to reduce load times. The latter feature may not sell Mana Khemia: Student Alliance to anyone who already bought the PS2 version this year, but if you passed on the console version and frequent public transportation Mana Khemia: Student Alliance might be up your alley. It’s all about price really. If NIS America sells Mana Khemia: Student Alliance for around $20 it should sell OK. Actually, I hope this sells well so Gust and NIS America will be able to team up and release Mana Khemia 2 on the PSP.

Though common golfing etiquette dictates that respectful silence should often be observed whilst "hitting the greens", Clap Hanz has included voice chat functionality in the latest patch for Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds -- a missing feature which many reviewers were none too happy about. While many of you will likely see this as a chance to jeer your opponents with finely honed "smack talk", we urge you to respect the cordial nature of the game. Perhaps your newly afforded vocality could be used for good -- by commending a fellow player on a nice shot, warning players ahead of an incoming ball with a resounding "Fore!", or by sharing the story of when you caddied for the Dalai Lama. Gunga Galunga!

The 2PG TC8281 is one hard working portable game console -- and trust us, it ain't easy trying to make a living under the shadow of the PSP and its less expensive (and downright irreputable) siblings. Don't blame the poor guy if he was born with "brand name style," as they say in the business -- what he lacks in originality, or in technological ability, he more than makes up for in hard work. Yours for just under $50, this handheld is compatible with the ever-popular Cool Boy game console, and ships with 117 games (5 on-board, 112 on the cartridge) including Milk Nuts, Space ET, Zippy Race and perennial favorite Mappy. And if all that weren't enough, the device includes A/V outputs for bringing the party to your television, and a separate Playstation-like controller so you can get your game on multi-player style.

Hey, pal -- remember that 160GB PS3 Drake's Fortune bundle we told you about back in August? Well thanks to the totally awesome skills of one intrepid reader, we now know that they're available for purchasing pleasure at your local Best Buy (and other spots, we like to imagine). From what we can tell based on that extremely blurry photo you see, the package will sell for a holiday-destroying $499.99, so you'd better hope grandma drops a big check on you this season.

News via psx scene
Sorry about the late announcement on this one, EEUG slid this one in under the radar
Looks like we have a number of changes this time like an added JPEG viewr and bugfixes. Also noted is an updated language file.
Quote:
Changelog for Version 2.9 (Note updated language files)
- fixed incorect subtitle alignment when subtitle font horizontal size
is not equal to the default value of 32;
- slightly changed file autodetection algorithm;
- added baseline JPEG decoder (written from scratch) and rather primitive
JPEG viewer. Sequence of images can also be viewed using the same
button combinations as for audio/video playlists ("circle" for folder and
"R1-circle" for the current folder). While in viewer following gamepad and
remote control buttons can be used:
- left : previous slide;
- right/cross: next slide;
- triangle : exit;
- rectangle : zoom-in/zoom-out (only for images with resolution lower than screen one);
Note: decoder supports only baseline JPEGs at the moment. Progressive,
loseless and other "exotic" files are not currently supported.
Maximum image resolution that has been tested is 6912x4608 though higher resolution images should also be processed without problems;

It's only been a week since we were told that the European Home beta expansion was pretty close and that the open beta was expected "within weeks," but now TedTheDog has updated us with some more information regarding the current situation. Don't panic -- it's all good news. Here's how the whole situation will play out.
Firstly the version 1.0 patch notes will be made available for those currently in the Home beta. They will be published in the closed beta forums, but don't be surprised if they spill out of there shortly thereafter. A few days after that version 1.0 will go live. Within a day or so of that invitations will be sent out as the closed beta gets significantly expanded as a load test for the servers. The open beta will begin shortly afterwards (a matter of weeks).
So there we have it. We'll let you know when any of the above actually happens, as usual. Can you taste it? It's close. We just hope version 1.0 brings some significant updates to the service like, for example, some actual content. Here's hoping.

News/release from Torch:
Lockdown In-Game will require you to enter a password when you resume your PSP from suspend mode. Useful to prevent other people from messing up your progress if you put the PSP in suspend during a game.
Installation:
Put it in the ms0:/seplugins/ folder and make an entry in GAME.txt (e.g. ms0:/seplugins/lockdown.prx).
It is recommended that it should be the very first entry in GAME.txt (How ever if you also have Hold+ installed, then make Hold+ first and lockdown.prx second).
Use the included exe to create a password file (buttons.ini) and put it in ms0:/seplugins/
If you also have the flash0: version of Lockdown installed, then this will detect and use the same flash0: password.
It only works in GAME mode. It will not work in the XMB.
Notes:
I have only tested it with few games that I have. Its recommended that you don't suspend the PSP while a game video is playing as sometimes it doesn't work properly during video playback.

Do not take this as precedent, that Kotaku is going to get involved in every level taken down on LittleBigPlanet. But the demise of Azure Palace seems newsworthy for a few reasons — one, it's well made (a little too fly-and-grab for me, but still a good level); two, there seems to be no apparent reason for it; and three, it's the big stink in any forum now discussing Media Molecule's heavy-handed moderation.
Azure Palace's creator is understandably pissed about the whole thing, posting his email to Media Molecule in a GameFaqs forum. He defies someone to show how the level violated the terms of service and, frankly, I do too. A couple of statues' heads resemble Pac-Man (depicted above) but come on, that cannot possibly be it. There also are some bloodstain stickers (you can't really tell in the YouTube video) but likewise, that seems extremely petty for it to possibly be a defensible reason.
If, on the other hand, this and anything else made with care is being flagged by lulz-seeking griefers and MM moderators are blindly taking down levels with zero investigation, then they're just being manipulated by the worst members of the community, and the business consequences there are obvious enough.

On Tuesday, the economy was gonna kill Blu-Ray. As of Friday, Blu-Ray might save Christmas. Right now, the only difference between our economy and a back-alley crapshoot is the informed punditry of the former. But anyway, a bunch of studio executives met on Friday to say, more or less, if Blu-Ray can roll that hardway four we're totally gonna make the car payment and get out of this.

Art has again updated his Audio Mechanica V8c app for the PSP:
Hi Guys,
Here is the Audio Mechanica V8c release with support for the Talkman USB microphone,
On screen keyboard for file naming, RAM buffered recording option, and improved GUI.
V8c adds a web browser to check for updates, and the ability to return to the mode menu at any time.
Please read the documentation for a full explanation of features.
I have had lots of trouble trying to implement an in-program playback mode,
so it's still left out for now. maybe I'll have better luck with it in future.
Cheers, Art.

Two years ago tomorrow the PlayStation 3 had its North America launch. Remember November 2006? Ah, yes, the days of $3,000 machines being sold on eBay and beyond-the-pale mayhem in the midnight line-ups to get one. Sony Computer Entertainment America had a far more sedate affair on Wednesday, toasting the two year anniversary (don't call it a "birthday") of the console.
There were no big announcements or proclamations at the event, but it did showcase Killzone 2 and Resistance: Retribution, kind of apt considering Resistance: Fall of Man was a console launch title. They also had a video depicting the evolution of the console's firmware, which is always sort of trippy to remember what you didn't have two years ago and what you take for granted now. And on that score, of course, PlayStation Home's open beta will hit sometime before the end of the year.
Worldwide sales of the console stand at 16.8 million units at the year two mark. So, cheers and here's to year three.

Just last week we heard that Warner Bros. was ending its home video / DVD business in South Korea due to rampant piracy, and now we've got a report from China suggesting that sophisticated pirates are duping buyers with faux Blu-ray Discs that are actually DVDs. As the story goes, movie pirates in select parts of Asia are ripping bona fide BDs and then burning them in AVCHD format (which uses 720 horizontal lines of resolution compared to Blu-ray's 1,080) on writable DVDs. Word on the street has it that these discs are being offered for around $7 each, and they even boast the BD hologram and the iconic blue hues on the packaging. Reportedly, none of the discs have made it outside of Asia just yet, but stay sharp should you ever get the urge to snag a discounted BD title while traveling abroad.

What's this? A brand new sub-$200 Blu-ray player? From a respectable, legitimate brand? No dirty tricks or mail-in rebates? Holy crap, yes. In a sad, scorched wasteland of Black Friday deals, this $180 Sharp Aquos BD-HP21U (usually $300) from Sears.com is a tiny beacon of hope—an affordable Blu-ray player. Update: If brands aren't important to you, Woot's also got a Memorex Blu-ray player for $140.

AhMan has released an update for iR Shell 4.7 - this is version 4.8.
Source:
http://irshell.org/site/index.php?op...id=10&id=14136
This is mainly a maintenance release with a few bug fixes. It also adds a new feature to support homebrews to use extra slim memory.
New Features for PSP Slim:
- Added support to homebrews that are built with the option PSP_LARGE_MEMORY, that is, to use the extra slim memory. When running these homebrews under iR Shell, they will have access to another 26MB slim RAM. Pls note 2MB of slim RAM is reserved for iR Shell.
- Enhance the HTML Viewer (originally developed by Dark_AleX) to use the extra slim memory. These should help to reduce "Not enough memory" message when accessing larger web contents. The HTML Viewer can be accessed via predefined homebrew #1 icon.
Bug Fixes:
- Some homebrews weren't correctly recognized by iR Shell and application names were displayed as garbage.
- When setting np9660 mode in iR Configurator, some homebrews failed to launch.
- Launching PS1 games via popsloader wasn't working properly.
- Copying a large file from ms0: to nethost0: will crash the system.
Special thanks to:
- Osgeld for spending so much effort in resurrecting irshell.org.
- Dark_AleX for the M33 custom firmwares and his assistance to help adding popsloader support.
- Tyranid and other developers in ps2dev.org for creating the pspsdk.
- Osgeld, StoneCut, F34R and other moderators who keep irshell.org running and providing technical support to the community.
- All iR Shell beta testers, donators, skins & plugin contributors.
Credits:
- M33 Custom firmware & popsloader are developed by Dark_AleX/M33.
- remotejoy & usbhostfs are developed by Tyranid.
- iR Shell bundled skins & plugins are developed by their corresponding authors.
- iR Shell Manual & FAQs are written by StoneCut.
Installation Instructions:
This is only an update. Unzip the archive and merge to the previous v4.7 release.

Go Deep Undercover - Race into an action-packed story of pursuit and betrayal. Take on jobs and compete in races to prove yourself as you infiltrate and take down an international crime syndicate.
Highway Battle - Fight off the cops and others as you take down your prey in high-speed, high stake multi-car chases. New and vastly improved AI mechanics mean more aggressive and intelligent cops focused on taking you out fast and by any means necessary.
Own the Open World - Tear across the massive highway system and discover the open world of the Gulf Coast Tri-Cities area, with three unique cities connected by an extensive highway system.

description
You never thought it would turn out like this—an all-out chase where you’re the hunted. And the hunter. Now you must get behind the wheel and risk everything to infiltrate a ruthless international crime syndicate and take them down. The man you’re after is a maniac behind the wheel, and he’s driving like his life depends on escape, which maybe it does. He’s the one with all the answers you need, you will track him down. Needless to say, that fleet of police cruisers in your rearview mirror won’t make things any easier. It will take all of your experience—and every ounce of skill—to outrun the law, take down the enemy, and unlock the truth that puts an end to this chase once and for all.

Each time the player launches a saved game, the episode will begin with a video summary of the previous episode to quickly re-immerse the player in the story and removing the need to remember where they were or what they were doing.

Sony has told Eurogamer that the wireless keypad for PlayStation 3 will launch here on 28th November for GBP 24.99.
This handy piece of hardware, unveiled during the Leipzig Games Convention, clips into Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers and apparently looks a bit like a Blackberry keyboard.
It also includes a touch-pad, like a laptop, that handles mouse input - which should make using the PS3 web-browser much easier.
On top of that, there are shortcut buttons for quick access to Communication and Message Box, ensuring navigation is short and snappy.
Look out for our thoughts on the wireless keypad closer to release.

Sony marketing man John Koller has said that there are 14 million active PSN accounts.
PSN launched in November along with PS3 in US and Japan. Xbox Live launched on November 2002 on the first Xbox, and then in it's current guise on 360 in November 2005. That's quite a head start.
"PlayStation Network has truly hit its stride with unique downloadable games and a video delivery service featuring movies, TV shows, and original programming that you can watch in HD with your PS3, or bring with you on your PSP," said a pleased Koller.
"And with 14 million active accounts and 273 million pieces of content downloaded, we know that you're thirsting for this digital entertainment," he added. We think PSN accounts being completely free has a lot to do with the high sigh-up rate.
It's good news on the hardware front too. "There are nearly 17 million PS3 systems around the world, and in the United States, PS3 hardware sales are up nearly 100 percent from where we were at this time last year," gloated Koller in his PS Blog post, which pays tribute to PS3's second birthday yesterday. Happy birthday!

Sony has come under fire for allegedly copying Sackboy costume designs from non-winning entries to a design competition held before the game was released.
Posters on the official PS forums pointed out uncanny similarities between their own submitted Sackboy designs and the new Sackboy costumes recently released for download.
Check out the similarities on the forum.
According to a Sony community man, it's all just a coincidence: "this was always going to be a possibility when we ran the costumer competition - releasing new costumes which are similar in theme to ones that were entered," said the rep under the alias Sam_Protagonist.
"Here's the fact of the matter," he went on: "The art team who are responsible for designing new original (ie unlicensed) costumes were involved at the very final stage of judging, by which time the number of entries had been whittled down to 10 from each batch of entries (Europe, Japan, USA).
"If at any time we take inspiration from a costume competition entry that didn't win overall we will contact the creator directly.
Sounds reasonable to us.

Azure Palace, which was moderated out of LittleBigPlanet's online play for reasons unnamed, is back up. Thanks to reader Michael B. for that tip. The takedown sparked much outrage among the LBP level-building community, as Azure Palace is one of the better-known levels and a favorite of many, and it was not at all obvious what the offending content was. Not sure if the negative publicity is what got the board back, but it's there. Perhaps moderators were reacting to grief flags without further inspection. That said, they still need to come up with a more transparent policy, because there's still a great deal of tension over the possibility of sudden and unexplained moderation. There's a petition for that still going on.

There isn’t much to play on your PSP this holiday season, but that hasn’t stopped people from getting excited over rumors that “LittleBigPlanet” would go portable.
Even though “LittleBigPlanet” has just launched on PlayStation 3, people already want to know what’s next.
While on the phone yesterday with John Koller, head of hardware marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America, we asked him about the rumors.
“‘LittleBigPlanet’ is so expansionary,” said Koller. “I think the developer’s really concentrating on right now making sure that the launched product is everything it could be and can be. We’re watching the UGC [user generated content] and seeing how that’s playing out. But for the future, I think certainly, we’d look at a wide variety of opportunities. Whether that’s the PSP or not, I can’t really say. We certainly look at ‘LittleBigPlanet’ franchise as a going forward franchise for us, and that speaks to the PlayStation brand overall.”
His last line should provide hope for handheld “LittleBigPlanet.”
But we didn’t stop there. With “Guitar Hero: On Tour” proving so popular on the DS, what is Sony doing to court the makers of “Rock Band” and “Guitar Hero” to PSP? Here’s what Koller told us.
“It’s of huge interest to us,” he said. “That’s something you’d really have to talk to the developers on that side [if] it’s going to happen or not. For us, we look at the music area as being critical for PSP and the social area of interest as well. PSP is a lot different than your traditional handheld product and music is the number two use on the PSP, behind gaming. So, the marrying of those two concepts is of huge interest to us, and if there’s that opportunity to launch a title like that or even a new title that utilizes music in some way, then obviously we’re very interested.”
Of course, this then begs the question, how would Neversoft or Harmonix (or someone else?) do a music game on PSP? Would it need a peripheral?

Although most fighting game fans have expected the U.S. release of The King of Fighters XII, official word came down the line today. Ignition Entertainment confirmed the U.S. release of the next iteration in SNK's renowned fighting franchise. Although no platforms or specifics have been revealed, at least fans of the series can rest assured that the game will be hitting home consoles in 2009. The game will also see a European release during the same year.
King of Fighters XII, in celebration of its 15th Anniversary, will be taking some big strides forward in terms of visuals. "For the first time in its history, this ultimate fighting game has undergone a complete graphical overhaul. All sprites used over the past 14 years have been dropped and replaced with new 2D high-definition, high-resolution sprites, on detailed 2D backgrounds, drawn 100 percent by hand." This should definitely please hardcore enthusiasts eager to see a graphical update to the long-standing franchise.
We'll keep you posted when more details are released.

Hey There Guys and Gals of the PSP Homebrew World, I release to you today, a Preview of a Work in progress.

I would appreciate it if someone uploaded some screenies for me, cos my PSP Broke and I won't be getting a new one until wednesday fingers crossed.
But Please do check it out and tell us what you think
There are lots of bugs that we are still working on, and if you walk onto another map and it vanishes, it's because it doesn't exist yet. Some of the collisions are not done yet.
Also, you can pick up an item from the cabbage patch in the small vegetable garden (Just a test for Item Pickups cos we are in the middle of testing).
Well, there's the upload, download and enjoy, comments and feedback greatly appreciated. All code done by us from scratch and images used from RPG Maker VX. Enjoi

News/release from Torch:
Lockdown In-Game will require you to enter a password when you resume your PSP from suspend mode. Useful to prevent other people from messing up your progress if you put the PSP in suspend during a game.
Installation:
Put it in the ms0:/seplugins/ folder and make an entry in GAME.txt (e.g. ms0:/seplugins/lockdown.prx).
It is recommended that it should be the very first entry in GAME.txt (How ever if you also have Hold+ installed, then make Hold+ first and lockdown.prx second).
Use the included exe to create a password file (buttons.ini) and put it in ms0:/seplugins/
If you also have the flash0: version of Lockdown installed, then this will detect and use the same flash0: password.
It only works in GAME mode. It will not work in the XMB.
Notes:
I have only tested it with few games that I have. Its recommended that you don't suspend the PSP while a game video is playing as sometimes it doesn't work properly during video playback.
While in the password screen, press Select if you want to suspend the PSP again without typing the password (the power switch won't work in the password screen).
Quote:
Changelog v1.1
----------------------------------
Optimized the code a bit.
The PSP doesn't automatically suspend after entering a wrong password. You can now press Select while in the password screen to suspend the PSP.

- Fixed issue which meant more space was required to inject an IPL, the required IPL space is now only rounded up to a multiple of 512 when it is not a multiple of 512
- PRXs are now stored internally for easier installation of application
- Reverted the IPL injection back to the style used in version 0.4
Any suggestions as to possible fixes of bugs or features would be greatly appreciated. I'm planning on hopefully adding a format function (if I can figure out how to) or something else in the next release, all ideas are welcome as I am running out of ideas.

NeilR and Frozenipaq have released a new version of Squarez, heres the details from the horses mouth:
I told you it was coming, and I'm happy to annouce the release of Squarez: Puzzle. This game was intented to be included with a later version of the popular PSP homebrew Squarez but never saw the light of day beyond its beta production and releases. As a beta tester I've been holding onto the game for 3 years now and have decided that it is the right time to release it as Socals, the developer, has disappeared since 2006. Why should the two beta testsers hang on to the game when the entire community can benefit from Socals's creation.
So what's Squarez: Puzzle about? It's simple. Do you recall all those puzzle games in adventure games where you must move blocks that are blocking your way in a dungeon? You are stuck in the game surrounded by block walls and must escape by moving each block and reach the goal. Some blocks can only be moved once, some can be moved multiple times and some can't be moved at all. It should keep you occupied for a while so enjoy!

News/release from Poustak
Here are some time this project begins to Moses on my hard disk when I go public.
A similar project was already released on PSP there are a lot of time. I have completely rewritten the code and can play against an AI. The AI is not very strong but should provide some difficulties for people who have never played on a PC Blobby Volley.
The images used in the game are taken from 1 draft released on PSP ahead of themselves depot of sourceforge Blobby Volley Official: http://sourceforge.net/projects/blobby
The source code is provided comments and can serve as a starting base.
I really do not have time to devote to this project, you are free to modify the code and improve it as you like (one way is adhoc welcome and several levels of AI and sound!) .

Kreationz posted this news:
Well after taking the weekend off I got back to the code. I found the bug that broke Mario Party, Harvest Moon and possibly others. I made my Double Display List code optional and Mario Party and Harvest Moon now play with it off (It is what fixed 007 and South Park Rally, but broke these and possibly caused a TV out bug or two.)
In the past few days Chilly Willy has sped up the audio code, but this has caused bugs. He and howard0su are working on those bugs. (But as the 1.1 video show the audio code is faster.)
howard0su is also working on the exit related bugs as well.
I've recently had a dynarec idea I'm running past the other coders to see if it's feasible, but not sure yet. Also I'm working with Wally on various graphics related issues.

Powernoid V1
Hi Guys,
This is one of the few GAME programs I have written, and by far my favourite so far.
I always loved a particular Breakout clone that I played on the Amiga CD32,
and that is the public Domain game that I found on a magazine cover CD which
inspired this PSP Breakout/Arkanoid clone.
The sort of powerups in this game is sort of what I had in mind for "Power Pong",
a game I released way back, but I didn't really implement any, so it remains
an ordinary Pong game with pretty graphics.
Screenshots:
Barriers
Bullets
Multiball
Controls are simple.. just move left or right with the Dpad or analogue stick.
Fire with the Cross button if you have the right powerup.
Pause the game and see the score and current stage with the HOME button.
Cheers, Art.

Tawkn.com posts:
Datel managed to create an all new "Tool Battery" that will put the PSP 3000 (or 2000 if you choose) into service mode. Ya gotta give em' credit as they've put a LOT of work into this.
"Although there were early indications that the PSP3000 had embedded Service Mode capability, it was clear that silicon level investigation would be required to understand the new mechanism" said Datel.
"Once the target IC had been identified, our engineers then de-capsulated the device and prepared it for hi-resolution SEM imaging"
The battery will run ya $29.99 USD.
But Alek posted on Sceners.org:
About new D@tel Battery
You might have seen a new Battery that has come into the market, as always with a price and with a good advertising program...
Well, this post is just to answer some mails that I've received.
1. To have a LED indicator ON, doesn't means that you can install cfw or hack anything. Remember 088v3 mobos? Right.
2. It's spreading like a timebomb that it can be hacked and so on. Well, what any user can see is an interesting campaign to promote an article that is not yet released. It would be interesting to see.. how about an old "hello world" like on Noobz time, instead of a "buy today" call?
3. Just to remember all this things up, LED indicator ON and nothing on screen means directly what Dark_AleX explained here about the preIPL.
Would be an interesting step, indeed, in case that the protection on 3k would be sort of a signal encryption or a change of protocol instead of just a change of the battery pin communication system; so, until more proofs come into play, I would not definitely go in a rush to buy it xD.

via Games Industry
Sony's head of public relations for the UK, David Wilson, has told GamesIndustry.biz that the company is pleased with LittleBigPlanet's retail performance and expects the title to perform better due to "word of mouth".
The Media Molecule title went on sale on November 5, and entered the UK's All Format chart in fourth place, the same week as the company's MotorStorm: Pacific Rift came in at 29. The following week both titles dropped in the charts to 19 and 35 respectively.
"We're really pleased with the initial reaction to LittleBigPlanet - it has been our highest scoring game ever I believe with a Metacritic score of 95 and a huge list of 10/10s or 100 per cent scores," explained Wilson.
"We are also pleased with its commercial performance. In other times of the year it would be a clear number one - so you have to put the chart in context. This is an incredibly volatile time of year and the chart reflects that - November 7 saw 47 titles released on that one day alone including many big hitters with Christmas number one aspirations. Look at the chart this week - the top four are all brand new entries."
The game is a flagship title for the PlayStation 3, with Sony claiming it will help sell console hardware.
"LittleBigPlanet has also sold well given that this is a brand new IP," he said in reference to the game's first week of sales which saw it coming in below three sequel titles, Microsoft's exclusive Gears of War 2, FIFA 09 and Fallout 3.
"Our industry is littered with examples of brand new innovative titles that have been lauded by the critics but have sold dismally," Wilson added. "But Sony is delighted and honoured to be working with hugely talented developers who can create brilliantly creative original games."
"LittleBigPlanet has broken this stereotype by not only being brilliant and original but also by selling really well on a global basis. LittleBigPlanet is breaking many preconceptions. There are some games that are hardcore experiences that the kudos lies in getting it first."
Wilson further explained how the title was built to benefit from long tail sales, in particular pointing out the title's ever growing resource of user-generated content.
"LittleBigPlanet is excellent on day one but even better as time goes by," he explained. "If you bought this game on day one, you'd play your 50 plus levels on the Blu-ray and dip into the 12,000 levels created by the beta testers. If you bought the game one week later you've got over 84,000 user created levels to play with. This game gets better and better as an experience and as a value proposition."
"It is also a game that will benefit enormously from word of mouth and from people trying it out with friends or in store - it drips fun and charm in equal measure. Also the bulk of our marketing including our six figure TV advertising campaign doesn't roll out until December, so we genuinely believe that Sackboy hasn't even hit his stride yet."
The title's route to market hasn't been smooth – the game was originally delayed for release due to complications with the soundtrack.
On release, many levels which infringe copyright have been deleted, highlighting the problems of allowing users to create and share their own content in the game.

Home version 1.0 - the version that'll be released to the public - will be made available to closed beta testers tomorrow, according to supposed leaked info.
In what looks like a message intended only for closed beta testers themselves are the release plans for Home in the coming weeks.
"1.0 will arrive in the closed beta this Thursday the 20th and will entail a downtime starting in the morning," reads the document.
"On Friday we will send out our first batch of invitations to new testers to help load-test 1.0 and the new servers that are coming online in the next week or so," it adds.
"We have 2 further batches of invitations scheduled for the following week and overall we'll be inviting a huge number of people into the closed beta in SCEE territories."
Unfortunately though, it says: "Open Beta will be here when it's here." We don't like the sound of that.
There's a whole bunch of details and features in the document over on Tawkn which, if fake, does remarkably well to seem pretty real. Sony, however, has issued CVG with a "no comment" on the matter.

Players control an unlucky penguin dude called a Prinny and slash their way through various Netherworlds.

Lift and throw objects, stomp enemies, even pilot tanks and planes to bombard whatever gets in your way!

News/release from Dark Alex
Firstly, to avoid misunderstanding: This program is NOT for psp 3000. It is for psp1000/2000, but it allows the decryption of psp 3000 prx's for researching purposes.
Modules specifically of psp 3000 usually end with 03g. From the files, it seems that umdcache is handled differently in psp 3000, and that psp 3000 comes with a new wireless chip.
P.D: better looked now, it seems that wlanfirm_02g and wlanfirm_03g prx are equal. Same happens with umdcache_02g.prx and 03g. It seems that Sony enjoys making redundant data to make update eboots bigger

News/release from Torch:
This is a simple plugin I made a long time ago for my personal use. I just found the source code while going through some old stuff on my computer, so I thought I'd clean up the code a bit and release the plugin.
I realize that there are other plugins that feature similar functionality but I wrote my own because I wanted to be sure its coded optimally, as there are a few careless ways in which these functions can be improperly used (the point of this after all is to conserve battery life).
It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 60MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode. LEDs are flashed once in 30 seconds so that the PSP is not mistaken to be powered off.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.
Usage:
Turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU. Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning on the Hold switch, it will only lock the keypad like normal hold mode. The display and CPU speed will not be changed, so that you can watch videos etc. with the keypad locked.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning off the Hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. To return to normal, push the power switch to the suspend position, or just press the Screen button.
While the PSP is in hold mode, if you first hold down the Select button, you can use the following buttons: Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Vol+, Vol-, Start.
Installation:
You can install it in the seplugins folder, and make an entry in VSH.txt. Thus it will be active in the XMB. Its also possible to use it in games by adding it to GAME.txt, but some games may crash etc., if the CPU is underclocked to such a low value.
Optionally, its also possible to install it in your PSP's flash0 so that it will work without a Memory Stick. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it before vshmain.prx.
Advanced:
If you want to change the clock speed to your own values, you can use a hex editor to change them. The offsets in the file for v3.4 are
0xD18 - CPU
0xD1C - Bus (Should be half the CPU speed or less)
The values should be entered in hexadecimal. The default value for CPU is 3C (60 MHz in decimal) and the default value for Bus is 1E (30 MHz in decimal).
Note that simply using any arbitrary value will not work. You will have to test and see which values for CPU and Bus speed work.
Credits:
Thanks to adrahil for helping with preventing the suspend mode.
Thanks to Booster for the SysCon Hook sample, based on which Hold+ v3.0 was updated.
Thanks to Total_Noob; As his plugin MusicHold was not compatible with Hold+, with his permission I've implemented the same features in Hold+ v3.0 for people who wanted some buttons to be usable in hold mode.
Changelog v3.4
----------------------------------
Fixed a problem caused by a faulty Hold switch in some PSPs. This made the CPU remain underclocked even after turning off the Hold switch.
The problem is the Hold switch doesn't consistently return a pressed state. It sometimes rapidly fluctuates between an Off and On signal. If this fluctuation occurs within one iteration of the main program loop, it causes problems. Its not humanly possible to toggle the Hold switch so fast, but a loose connection can :P

via Eurogamer
Sony has been ordered to pay compensation of USD 18.5 million (GBP 12.4 million) for being a copycat.
US courts found by clear and convincing evidence that Sony wilfully infringed on patents covering "wireless local area network apparatus" during the manufacture of the PlayStation Portable, mylo Personal Computer and Network Walkman products.
That's according to the official legal papers spotted by PSP Fanboy.
Agere Systems, an integrated network boffin, filed the original trademark, but has since merged with a company called LSI, which specialises on storage and networking.

What's the team a Polyphony Digital doing besides finishing their upcoming Gran Turismo 5 racing simulator? Making some crazy ass tech demos with four PlayStation 3s hooked together to share rendering time. Not only can four PS3s create a 2160p image (that's four 1080p images for a resolution of 3840x2160 blasted on Sony's 4K projector), they can create one single 1080p image that runs at 240 FPS. 240! That's faster than the human eye can see; and so fast, we imagine, that you can actually see into the future. The audience reception was described thusly:

Synergy. Can you dig it? Sony does, finally noticing those 14 million accounts stranded on the console-side of PlayStation Network. We imagine the meeting went a little something like this:
Exec One: You see, we've got 14 million people over here [*motions to his right*]. But what if we could take them [*lifts his hands up*] and stick 'em over here, too? [*motions back to his left*]
Exec Two: So are you gonna eat that last Mint Milano or what?
Exec One: No -- well ... let's split it.
Exec Two: Deal.
The result? PSN IDs are being incorporated into PlayStation.com and, at a later date, PlayStation.Blog. Doing so will make your friends list and other features accessible through a web browser -- oh my! On a solemn note, these changes bring PlayStation Underground to its inevitable end, but members can hold on to some of the good times by merging their Underground accounts with their PSN IDs. And this is only the beginning, promises PSN senior director Susan Panico: "before this year is over we'll have more enhancements for your gamer profile." Dare we say, a New PlayStation Experience?

The Natural Resources Defense Council Have...hey, look, wait. This is interesting. Because it's about your money. Anyway, like I was saying, the Natural Resources Defense Council have released a report detailing how much money it costs the average American to run a gaming console. And, by extension, how much money you could save by taking those consoles and throwing them in the closet/garbage. Were you to decomission a 360, for example, you'd save yourself $11 a year. $11! Binning a PS3 would save you $15, while packing the Wii away - provided you haven't already done so - will save you...$3 a year. Best keep it around then, in case Gran comes over and wants a swing at that "computer bowling".

Now that the native PSP PlayStation Store is open for business Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is pushing downloadable games and downloadable content. Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida or 2 has been out for a month and the first downloadable episode the Devil King’s Day Off is live. For an extra 300 yen ($3) get to test your dungeon making skills in five stages and face off against nine brazen heroes.
On December 18 Sony will release No More Christmas which has three stages and sixteen heroes. And finally I Shouta will challenge your monster rearing talent with seven new stages containing thirteen heroes on January 22. Sony hasn’t announced prices for the other two episodes.
In Japan Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida or 2 is considered a discounted game with its 3,980 yen ($40) retail price. It’s also offered as a digital download for 2,800 yen ($28). Since the game is cheaper than the average SCEJ published PSP game Sony might be testing the waters to see if they can rake in some extra money with downloadable episodes. As of now Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida and Mainichi Issho Portable are the only two PSP games with paid DLC.

Oh, look there is another PSP-3000 bundle pack with Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Boring news alone, but this bundle packs in a card with a code to download Everyday Shooter instead of Echochrome. Since the Black PSP-3000 bundle is scheduled to come out in North America in December a portable version of Everyday Shooter should be out then too.
Maybe.
We’re going by a retail listing here, but so far Sony hasn’t said much about the PSP port of Everyday Shooter. It was first acknowledged when the PSP-3000 was announced and we haven’t heard much else about it. Super Stardust Portable disappeared into the ether too.

Today, a videogame adaptation of Terminator Salvation was announced that will launch alongside its silver screen counterpart in May of next year. Titled Terminator Salvation -- The Videogame (who would have thought?), you'll take on the role of John Connor as you fight against the overwhelming and vastly superior forces of Skynet. The game is being developed by GRIN Studios, however the press release makes no mention of what platforms the game will launch on.
"Terminator Salvation -- The Videogame allows players to battle for survival against Skynet enemies utilizing an incredibly fluid and realistic control set," said President of Halcyon Games Cos Lazouras. "The player will be led through a visceral story with extremely polished production values to create a fully interactive Terminator experience."
We'll keep you posted when more details come down the line.

Boolat announces Topatoi, one of the first PlayStation 3/PSN projects in Eastern Europe.
Topatoi is a refreshing blend of platformer and puzzle genres, combining the old school impact of the legendary titles like Bubba 'N Stix or The Lost Vikings with original and inventive gameplay mechanics.
The player controls a machine called ATG which works just like a spinning top toy. Basically this is one of the main points of the game. Topatoi is very physics-oriented. ATG should be spinned correctly, since the "spin amount" and thus the overall speed affects device's movement and behavior. Mastering the physics model, you should lead the lead character through multiple stages, filled with obstacles, traditional platforms (it is a platformer game after all), enemies and dozens of puzzles.
Topatoi will be available this Winter through PlayStation Store. More information is available on the official website: http://topatoi.boolat.com

13 year old Lorenzo Amato was rushed to hospital by his father, where doctors at first thought he may have been suffering from a stroke or brain disorder. But no - after closer examination, the medics diagnosed 'Playstation Addiction'.
Local politician Antonio Buccoliero was quick to comment, "They eventually managed to take care of him once they understood that this was a strange kind of mental detachment connected to his Playstation." It is unknown if this condition could be contracted through rival consoles or if it is a Sony-only disorder. Or indeed if it is an actual medical condition and not something they just made up to make a point about gaming.
The boy had been unable to speak and appeared 'confused' following a marathon gaming session. He reportedly told his father to throw out his console saying, "If I even think about it I want to throw up."

Jelly Clock V1
Hi Guys,
Just a little demo of the Jelly Physics library by Walaber, ported to PSP by Drakon.
YouTube Video:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=YYEthndU8PA
Controls are UP & Down to zoom in & out,
and see for yourself what the Cross button does.
Although only a demo, there should be some improvement to come.
Thanks to Drakon & Slasher for giving me some tips regarding the Jelly physics library.
Cheers, Art.

VideoGamer.com can exclusively reveal that from January 2009 all newly released PS3 games will be required by Sony to support the console's Trophy system.
Earlier this week VideoGamer.com received a tip from an anonymous source within the UK video game industry that, from January 2009 onwards, all newly released PS3 titles will be required to support the PS3 Trophy system.
Today a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson confirmed that this information is accurate, stating: "Yes from Jan 09 all games must have trophies."
This news is sure to be met very positively by PS3 gamers who are currently having to put up with sporadic Trophy support from this winter's biggest releases. Mandatory Trophy support will also put an end to post release Trophy patches that force gamers to replay games to earn the Trophies.

Sony will be sending out hundreds of thousands PlayStation Home beta invites today.
This coincides with the launch of v1.0 of the virtual world, according to TedTheDog (he's probably not a dog) on the European PlayStation forums.
Furthermore, next Thursday "another larger batch of invitations will be sent".
Those not invited - perhaps they're not loyal enough - are told an open beta will "not be far behind".
The PlayStation Home update brings a meaty list of changes to the table, such as a tutorial, background downloading, more dance moves, reintroduction of regional travel, and a club support system.
The full list of alterations can be found on the European PlayStation forum.

Sony has updated the PlayStation Store with a demo of LocoRoco 2, the BioShock Challenge Rooms and a host of premium downloadables for Need For Speed Undercover along with usual candidates Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour.
LocoRoco 2 is out in the UK today, although you might not know it from the game's low-profile launch build-up. In addition to seeing what we thought of it in our LocoRoco 2 PSP review, however, you can now grab the demo.
Elsewhere there's the promising but polarisingly priced BioShock Challenge Rooms, which introduce three puzzly new levels that ask you to make the most of the game's varied arsenal of weapons, plasmids and tonics, each with unlockable Trophies and secrets.
Meanwhile the DLC war between Rock Band and Guitar Hero goes monetarisingly on with Rock Band add-ons from Dead Kennedys, Mission of Burma and Century Media Girls and Guitar Hero World Tour downloads from The Raconteurs.

Capcom's confirmed that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be available via the US PlayStation Network from next Tuesday, although a UK launch date still hasn't been nailed down.
The game will be hitting the US PSN one day ahead of its Xbox Live Arcade release, but Capcom UK told us today that it can't confirm whether or not we'll see the title arrive on this side of the pond with next week's European PSN update.
Fingers crossed, eh?

When Criterion Games Producer Jeremy Chubb arrives on the official PlayStation Blog, you know that more Burnout Paradise content is on the way. On today's post, Chubb announced the upcoming arrival of the Carson Extreme Hotrod. The car looks like a pretty ridiculous ride and Chubb hints at more news and announcements to come. Chubb teases readers with: "we could explain that we've rewired Burnout's vehicle dynamics system, so it handles more intuitively and drifts more realistically than any other car. We could reveal that it's the first of a pack of two cars designed to re-imagine Burnout Boost. Which explains the blue exhaust flames..."
Chubb ends the post by noting that the car will be something you need to own in 2009 and informs Burnout junkies to look for more on their Burnout Paradise Boost Specials Pack. While the post obviously mentions nothing about the 360 version, we can only assume the hotrod will make its way to Xbox Live at the same time. For now, check out this slick new shot of the Carson Extreme below.

The Patapon are at war again and need God’s drum beats to march to victory. After Haripon’s ship crashes he awakens to your rhythm after and sets out to find survivors. If this sounds a lot like Patapon you’re right. Sony didn’t deviate much from the formula of the first game. Instead they expanded upon it by adding new elements like hero Patapons. You meet your first hero trapped underneath a rock separating your small army of spear throwing Patapon from a fire breathing Dondonga.
Save him and you get to name him. Yes, this Patapon is that special. I stuck with the default name “hero” and brought him on a mission to crush an enemy base. The hero Patapon did more damage than a regular spear throwing Yaripon and has a special attack. If you’re in fever mode and hit the drums perfectly on beat the hero Patapon tosses a spear with a green aura. This spear does about 2x - 3x his regular attack which is already around 2x a regular Yaripon. The glowing spear also releases a wide green cloud that damages a group of enemies. Since the Zigoton, the rival tribe of the Patapon, tend to cluster together the toxic green cloud is debilitating. To balance out the game Patapon 2 piles more Zigoton on the screen which makes for some chaotic fights. The other ability my hero Patapon had in the demo is he can respawn on the battlefield. If your hero dies a ten second counter appears above his picture. When the countdown ends he magically appears on the battlefield with full HP.
The basic Patapon can upgrade to becomr more effective too by utilizing the evolution system. By gathering items you can change a normal Yaripon to a PyoPyo, a walking eyeball with rabbit ears. If you include the normal form there are eighteen possible evolutions for the Patapon shown on the evolution tree. Since evolving Patapon requires items you’re showered with items during the missions.
I turned one of my Yaripon into a PyoPyo and switched an axe wielding Tatepon into a purple eye with cat ears before setting off for the final mission in the demo. In this stage I fought the Bocchichi, a giant bird. I struck first with a wave of arrows and spears. The bird retaliated by pecking the ground which directly hit my spear line. Then the flightless bird jumped in the air and hit the Tatepon group with a ground pound. The bird’s most deadly attack is a blast of yellow gas from its behind that puts any Patapon it touches to sleep. While sleeping the Patapon are vulnerable and more importantly for the bird they can’t attack. I should have made more arrow shooting Yumipon. That would have made the fight a breeze, but thanks to the powerful hero Patapon and his glowing green spears I took the bird down. I also lost most of my army so the fight was really my hero Patapon and few survivors versus the bird boss. Stick tightly to the beat to activate the hero Patapon’s special attack was the key to victory.

Sony finished LocoRoco 2. It’s in English too and comfortably sitting in European stores as of today. Japan gets LocoRoco 2 in about two weeks and some unknown time in the future SCEA will publish it in North America. But, you don’t have to wait for months to pass to give LocoRoco 2 a try
A downloadable LocoRoco 2 demo is on Japan’s PlayStation Store right now. Since the focus of LocoRoco 2 is still rolling singing yellow blobs by tilting the world the LocoRoco 2 demo should be very import friendly.

SCEE has just confirmed to Siliconera that two new platinum PSP bundles will retail in Europe, details of which are as follows:
PSP 3000 bundle: £149.99 with 2 x platinum games free of charge
PSP 2000 bundle: £139.99 with 2 x platinum games for £10 (RRP of PSP 2000 solus is £129.99)
Specific titles were not mentioned, but a quick check on the USK has ratings for “PSP Platinum Bundle: Lemmings + LocoRoco” and “PSP Platinum Bundle: Tekken: Dark Resurrection + Ridge Racer 2″. Unfortunately SCEE did not confirm when these bundles are due to go on sale, but it’s a pretty safe assumption that it will be in time for the Christmas holiday period. The 3000 bundle looks particularly appealing, with this model of PSP housing a sharper screen display. Now there’s just the matter of figuring out how to trade in a worn old model for this bundle…

News/release from Torch:
This is a simple plugin I made a long time ago for my personal use. I just found the source code while going through some old stuff on my computer, so I thought I'd clean up the code a bit and release the plugin.
I realize that there are other plugins that feature similar functionality but I wrote my own because I wanted to be sure its coded optimally, as there are a few careless ways in which these functions can be improperly used (the point of this after all is to conserve battery life).
It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 60MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode. LEDs are flashed once in 30 seconds so that the PSP is not mistaken to be powered off.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.
Usage:
Turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU. Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning on the Hold switch, it will only lock the keypad like normal hold mode. The display and CPU speed will not be changed, so that you can watch videos etc. with the keypad locked.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning off the Hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. To return to normal, push the power switch to the suspend position, or just press the Screen button.
While the PSP is in hold mode, if you first hold down the Select button, you can use the following buttons: Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Vol+, Vol-, Start.
Installation:
You can install it in the seplugins folder, and make an entry in VSH.txt. Thus it will be active in the XMB. Its also possible to use it in games by adding it to GAME.txt, but some games may crash etc., if the CPU is underclocked to such a low value.
Optionally, its also possible to install it in your PSP's flash0 so that it will work without a Memory Stick. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it before vshmain.prx.
Advanced:
If you want to change the clock speed to your own values, you can use a hex editor to change them. The offsets in the file for v3.4 are
0xD48 - CPU
0xD4C - Bus (Should be half the CPU speed or less)
The values should be entered in hexadecimal. The default value for CPU is 3C (60 MHz in decimal) and the default value for Bus is 1E (30 MHz in decimal).
Note that simply using any arbitrary value will not work. You will have to test and see which values for CPU and Bus speed work.
Changelog v3.41
----------------------------------
Improved faulty Hold switch protection, as there were still some chances of a faulty Hold switch causing problems.
Changelog v3.4
----------------------------------
Fixed a problem caused by a faulty Hold switch in some PSPs. This made the CPU remain underclocked even after turning off the Hold switch.
The problem is the Hold switch doesn't consistently return a pressed state. It sometimes rapidly fluctuates between an Off and On signal. If this fluctuation occurs within one iteration of the main program loop, it causes problems. Its not humanly possible to toggle the Hold switch so fast, but a loose connection can :P

There are many classic PS One games available to download through PlayStation Network in Japan, but we’ve seen barely any here in the United States (does anyone want to play “2 Xtreme,” anyway?)
I didn’t ask John Koller, the head of hardware marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America, whether this was changing when we spoke earlier this week. My bad, readers.
But he did follow-up over e-mail last night.
“Yes, we are working on further PSone additions to the PS Store and should see those launch shortly,” he said.
With that in mind, what PS One games do you want to re-buy? “Klonoa” and “Metal Gear Solid” would be very much appreciated, thanks!

By now you’ve all seen Peter’s post from yesterday that introduced the new PS3 ad campaign. I wanted to give you some details on the two PSP ad campaigns that also kicked off recently. One campaign focuses on the new PSP-3000 and the other on the big games that are available this holiday season (or coming soon after), including Resistance: Retribution, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Madden NFL ’09 and more favorites.
This campaign is one of my favorites because not only does it gives a nod to the awesome ‘POV’ TV spot that we aired when the PSP first launched back in March 2005, but it places the PSP within a colorful and diverse blur of urban activity. As someone who spends a lot of time in San Francisco and travels the country often, I see the way that people in different cities use their PSPs and I think we’ve captured that in a fun and interesting way. The TV spots are fast-moving, 15-second snapshots of the PSP within several large cities, with local or regional musicians contributing their tracks to the spots. With the PSP, everywhere really does get better. Here are three of the spots, including a sneak peak into the TV spot for Chicago, which will start airing next week.

lbicelyne has released a new version of the CPS1, CPS2, CPS3 and more emulator for the PSP, heres whats new:
081120: preV12_Demo4
The prototype version of the V12, the main function is to increase the on-line. There are many places to be improved. Like fresh friends can try and help in passing a test Bug.
A prototype of V12.Wifi game connection is added. It is not a formal release. If you find any bug, please reply to me.
1. To open wireless LAN switches, Wifi Game select a Host, alternative Client. Different host the best choice of different Controller. P2p can also choose to approach slowly and may be non-synchronous phenomena. All have the advantage of the screen shows.
1. Switch on wifi, One PSP choose host and others choose client in Wifi Game menu. You should also change your controller as well. There is no screen displayed on client PSP. P2P mode could work and all psps have display. But speed is very slow and may asynchronies.
2. Every machine with the option to enter a game. If it is on the way into the p2p model can choose Reset to a simultaneous game. The official version may be considered synchronous memory, do not need to Reset the entire game.
Every PSP choose the same game. If you are using p2p mode, please reset the game once to synchronies all psps. I am thinking about add ram copy in V12 formal release to avoid reset the game.
3. Not too much testing machine 2 in the operation of conditional friends can help to see Test.
There is no verification on more than 2 PSP. If you have, please help having a test.

Blabberbot V1
Hi Guys,
Blabberbot is an experimental text to speech program for plain text files
based on the Flite (Festival lite) speech engine PSP port provided by Mypspdev.
The Flite speech engine has a built in "file to speech" function, but I have taken an approach of
breaking a file down into segments separated by return characters so that these segments can
be printed to the screen, and so the user can also seek forward and back through the file while
the speaking is in progress. Normally, the function that speaks files cannot be interrupted.
Controls are fairly intuitive.
While the text file is being spoken, a progress indicator is displayed at the top of the screen,
and left or right on the Dpad can be used to advance the position in the text file forwards, or
reverse the position. The left and right controls are non responsive during speaking,
so they must be held down to be polled between bursts of speech.
There is no pause button implemented yet.

Despite being overwhelmed with current releases and all their graphical bumpy maps, we do occasionally yearn for something a little more earnest and antiquated. This isn't a problem if you have access to the Japanese PSN, but browsers of the American PlayStation Store are unlikely to describe the pre-PS2 pickings as anything but "slim."
With that in mind, MTV Multiplayer asked Sony's head of hardware marketing, John Koller, if more downloadable classics were on the way. "Yes, we are working on further PSone additions to the PS Store and should see those launch shortly," came the answer.

News from Alek
Great news for the owners of 88v3 mobos, keep reading.
A Dark-AleX.org forum user, Brokencodes, has finally got into part of the signing code that uses the 88v3 hases, explained here by Dark_AleX.
The code can be found still here.
Even thought that is a partial code (still a couple of functions missing), it's a GREAT step towards 88v3 liberation. We'll keep you updated.
Great work, brokencodes.

News/release from percyflette
Hi people!
Easy programming, I present my first application: Easy_PSP_Gradation.
It is a creator of degraded for psp. This code in C and with the SDL.
At the base there was just to see how we can "feel" the pixels of a surface but finally, I added other features to try to make it more interesting and may be useful to someone.
It allows you to create degraded easily and directly from the PSP in 3 different modes. They are starting from a starting color green color end. The colors are managed in quantities of red green and blue. It is these values that vary more or less important to move the starting color to the color of purpose. Gradients made can be saved on your memory card format. Bmp and size 480 * 272. The names of degraded is automatically defined. They will be in the ms0: / PICTURE / SCREEN_DEGRADE.
To see how this one works, I invite you to read the readme file.

News/release from pegasus2000
Until now, the installation of Nanodesktop has been a difficult thing.
We're working hardly on this aspect of our SDK, and we're also
exploring new possibilities to installation.
As you know, from version 0.3.5 ONLYDEV0001 Nanodesktop has added the
support for Linux (before it used only Windows + Cygwin).
So, we've created a virtual machine for VirtualBox, that contains the entire
environment. All is ready to work.
The virtual machine must be created using the software VirtualBox:
www.virtualbox.org
Create the virtual machine and reserve a space to the virtual hard disk
of 4 Gb. After, download the following file:
http://www.sakya.it/downloads/VMNanodektop.7z
Unzip it using 7-zip utility and copy the content over the virtual disk
of the vbox virtual machine.
Start the vbox virtual machine and the new Linux ND system shall start.
UserName: nanodesktop
Password: psp
I want to thank sakya that is hosting the file (on Visilab servers I cannot
download it in this moment) and blue_eye that has created this virtual
machine.
blue_eye has also written 2 guides for the installation. They are
available at these addresses:
Italian

News/release from dan369
This is my latest project, a 2d side-scrolling platformer . Its written in Lua for the PGE API. I've been working on this for over a month now, i would of got to this stage sooner but exams, coursework all that stuff gets in the way. The name of this hasn't been thought up yet, so if you have suggest/comments just post up
This is a demo first level, The level itself is the first mario level in Mario for the NES.
Features:
- Destroyable blocks
- Checkpoint System (Needs a little refining)
- Scrolling
- Jumping blocks
- Moving Platforms (Needs a little refining)
- Dying.
- End level sequence (has a bug )
- Full Collision
- Enemies (at a early stage, currently only one )
The bug: It doesn't dofile the win file & crashes the PSP. You will need to restart it. I think its a PGE issue.

news via psphacks
Developer NoEffex has good news for those sporting an older custom firmware… If that’s you and you also enjoy Socom Fireteam Bravo 2, then get a load of this — BakonICE v1.3.
NoEffex notes: due to custom firmware 3.71’s oddball nature, BakonICE does not work; however, other older firmwares are fine.
BakonICE v1.3 changes:
Fixed a lag out issue happening in ad-hoc
Removed the hijack room and replaced the menu slot with no-fog
Now, if you use the old kernel version, you can use it on 3.80- (with the exception of 3.71), I don’t know how far down it goes, but it goes down probably to 3.40. I did test it on 3.52 with success.
Auto-Finds the off value in the custom menu
Replaced the target lock code on the base UI to “Shoot Exposives To Nowhere”
Made using the hotkeys a bit more clear to the user

FBA4PSP is an emulator for PGM, Cave, CPS, Seta, Sega, Konami, etc on PSP. It emulates MC68000/Z80 based arcade games. OopsWare ported FinalBurn Alpha to PSP. Thanks to his good work.
V12版本的雏形，主要就是增加联机功能。还有很多地方有待完善。喜欢尝鲜的朋友可以试一下，顺便帮忙测试 一下Bug. A prototype of V12.Wifi game connection is added. It is not a formal release. If you find any bug, please reply to me. 1.打开无线网卡开关，Wifi Game一台选择Host, 其他选择Client。不同主机最好选择不同的Controller。也可以选择P2p模式，比较慢，而且 可能会有不同步现象。好处是所有屏幕都有显示了。 1. Switch on wifi, One PSP choose host and others choose client in Wifi Game menu. You should also change your controller as well. There is no screen displayed on client PSP. P2P mode could work and all psps have display. But speed is very slow and may asynchronies. 2.每个机选择同一个游戏进入。如果是p2p模式半路进入的可以选择Reset一次以同步游戏。正式版本中 可能会考虑同步内存，不需要Reset整个游戏。 Every PSP choose the same game. If you are using p2p mode, please reset the game once to synchronies all psps. I am thinking about add ram copy in V12 formal release to avoid reset the game. 3.暂时只支持2台PSP联机，多台联机功能在后续版本提供。 This version can only support 2 PSPs. Later version will support 4 PSPs.
changes: Wifi Game is added.

Blabberbot V2
Hi Guys,
This one should be a lot better to use than the first rather premature release.
I ended up using Intrafont at the last minute, but cannot seem to get it working
with the file browser, so the file browser remains in debug text unless I can find a solution.
Blabberbot V2 runs the speech engine in it's own thread, so control is now very responsive.
There are buttons assigned to pause, and quit the current text file, and text chunks are
much smaller as originally intended.
See the readme for full list of changes.

Sony Europe has declined to comment on the supposedly leaked contents of its staff annual briefing, dismissing the D+Pad report as "rumour and speculation".
The information, provided by an attending "source", included plans to be "more competitive" with PS3 pricing from March 2009.
Sony Europe boss David Reeves also said there will be technical innovations to come for both PS3 and PSP, although no details were given.
The source claims to have seen footage of Uncharted 2 and God of War 3, the latter of which apparently looked so pretty the mole couldn't tell if what he was seeing was CGI or not.
The trailer, we're told, showed Kratos destroying waves of skeletons and Cyclops with his trusty chain-swords, before hopping on the back of an eagle, killing it, and then staring into an immense cavern thought to be Mount Olympus.
Uncharted 2, on the other hand, was said to look much the same as Uncharted 1, which looked rather good anyway.
The source went on to say that Sony showed footage of LittleBigPlanet PSP, which Media Molecule has apparently been hard at work on for four months. Target footage of MotorStorm PSP was shown, too.
Apparently Sony Europe is also the pride of Sony Computer Entertainment, for the region has a higher PS3 installed base than Xbox 360.

Sony has moved to clarify recent comments made about the number of active PlayStation Network accounts.
Having said last week that there are 14 million active PSN accounts, the company has now confirmed that the number includes both PS3 and PSP accounts, but no duplicates.
"Seeing as PlayStation Portable does include PlayStation Network services (i.e. games store natively on PSP), yes those numbers do include all PlayStation Network registrations," Sony told GameSpot.
Sony said that one person using the same login for both PS3 and PSP is treated as a single account and that, as with Xbox Live, the 14 million figure includes multiple accounts on a single console or in the same household.
Sony's original comments on the matter were made as it celebrated the PS3's second birthday, and revealed that PSN had matched the 14 million subscriber base of Xbox Live, which has been around since 2002.
Despite all these comments, at the end of the day it's still unclear how many PSN users are logging on via the PS3, although Sony says it has seen an "increase in unique [PS3] consoles registered for PSN... lately, based on the new features we've added to PSN".

A release date for the PSN version of Age of Booty has popped up on the Capcom blog.
AOB, you may recall, is the pirate-themed real-time strategy title with a heavy focus on multiplayer. It's already available for Xbox Live Arcade, priced at 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60), and on PSN in North America.
A price for the European version has yet to be announced. Read our review of the XBLA version to find out whether it's worth whatever you'll be asked to pay for it.

Who would have thought that this late in the console's life cycle that a PlayStation 2 game would make the cover of a major gaming publication? The latest issue of Play magazine features Atlus' upcoming RPG Persona 4, with a whole slew of special Shin Megami Tensei-themed features packed inside. It's really an odd sight to see, especially considering the other games listed in the top-right corner of the cover - Afro Samurai, Mirror's Edge, Resistance 2, Sonic Unleashed, and Prince of Persia - all big name, current generation titles.
I get the feeling this is a sort of swan song for the aging console, but what do you guys think? Is this the last time a PS2 title will grace the cover of a major multi-platform gaming mag, or does the little black box still have some life in it yet?

Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi has said Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo PSP are both very much alive and kicking.
"There's no real plans that we can discuss just now, but production is moving forward," Yamauchi told IGN (spotted by VG247), in reference to the PS3 product.
When asked about the PSP version he replied, "I can only answer the same for that as well, but it is moving forward. It hasn't been knocked off of the plans: it's there."
PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida told us back in October that Gran Turismo PSP still exists, despite the fact there's been little info since it was first announced years ago.
Yamauchi has previously said work on the portable game will begin proper after Gran Turismo 5 launches, which is expected to be late next year.
As far as work on that game goes, Yamauchi thinks his team has reached the "target level" of detail on the vehicles. In the future, they will work on bringing the environments and the people in them up to the same level. Plus, of course, there's the online mode to be tackled.
"We've only done a very small part of what we want to do online. And, of course, there are a lot of things you can do online that we haven't even touched yet," said Yamauchi.
"We're really on the starting line for online futures. We're going to need a lot of software improvements, hardware improvements, and then infrastructure improvements all around the world."
When Yamauchi thinks to the future of online, he plans content for internet connections "ten-thousand-times faster", apparently.
