Elxx has released a new version of his PSP Web Server written in Lua. This one will require the latest Lua-Player v0.16, which has been released recently. Release notes:

Here’s a nice and supercharged version of my PSP web server, powered by the recently released LuaPlayer 0.16.What this does is basically let you download files from your PSP using your wireless network connection. You can browse through the memory stick wirelessly, using only the web browser on your computer. HTML pages will even be sent so you could run a website off your PSP. Thus, it turns your PSP into an HTTP Daemon.In 0.4, there have been some huge changes to the transfers. LuaPlayer 0.16 has apparently fixed the issues with the WLAN connection dropping randomly, so you should be able to run the server for several hours. Remember to have it hooked up to the charger though! Now, you will also be prompted at the start of the app to choose which WLAN connection to use.In addition, I have once again improved the error handling. With a nice quality connection, you can easily hit speeds of over 100 kb/s! That means you can listen to the MP3’s on your PSP without even having to wait for them to download (if you have software that can stream like that). I eagerly await your comments on how fast you were able to push the server. Just keep bumping up the chunk size and see how fast your transfers can get.Have fun, and don’t hesitate to give comments and suggestions.Changelog for v0.4:

Added WLAN profile chooser at startup [thanks modsyn]

Improved error handling now resends only missing portions of chunks, allowing higher speeds

Default chunk size increased to 8192

On the behalf of the PDRoms-Team, we wish you a happy new year!Thank you for reading and supporting PDRoms with your visits. A big thank you also go out to hundrets of active hombrew developers, who spend hours of work to bring us free console and handheld entertainment, far away from the commercial market.This year has been a hughe boost for homebrews. PDRoms exists since 1998 and provides regular news since 2002. The past 7 years (yes, we missed to celebrate that) we never had so many news than in this year, 2005. Specialy this month, December 2005, with over 350 news was a very busy one. Basicly the PSP scene and now the GP2x scene were responsible for this massive boost in the homebrew scene.Unfortunatly we can not launch the new PDRoms page with 1st January 2006, but prepare for a lot of new features and a new layout within the next weeks.Good luck, take care and see you in 2006 :)Kojote / Founder&Webmaster&Official News-SlaveKedo / Newsposter support

Woogal has updated his port of Duke Nukem for the GP2x.

This release should (hopefully) now work correctly with all versions from 1.3 upwards (should be no more jumping or floating alien problems). Pay careful attention to the installation instructions in the readme – you must make sure you use the correct version of some files or you will have problems. Also fixed is the abillity to assign B from the options screen. I noticed that someone on the wiki reported that the projector wasn’t playing in the theatre – this isn’t a bug and is happening because adult mode is switched off in some config files. Please see the wiki for how to enable adult mode.
