Both recently released J2ME emulators pspME and PSPKVM will be merged into one project!

Here is Sleepers message from pspkvm.com:

pspME and PSPKVM merged

After a fully discussion today with M@x, the author of pspME, the two projects, PSPKVM and pspME, will be merged, and keep the name as PSPKVM. After a quickly release with sound support in the next days, PSPKVM will discard some old code to base on phoneME feature. We will try to offering a better JavaME VM on PSP.

Sleepper

And here is M@x’s quote:

After a wonderful meeting today, Sleeper, the author of pspkvm, and I decided to merge our works into a new project. The new project remains the name “pspkvm”, and current pspME source code will be used as new project’s code base, all the current pspkvm features (e.g Nokia UI, Chinese file name supporting and devices selector etc.) will be inherited. The new pspkvm project’s home page is now still under construction, and will be hosted by SourceForge. Sleeper and I will work together in new pspkvm project from now on, we promise to keep offering good JavaME implementation on PSP.

The next release of new pspkvm will be available with source code under GPL, and keep the game compatible list consistent with current pspkvm.

pspME project will keep alive. While pspkvm will be based on phoneMEFeature, pspME will change to implement phoneMEAdvanced on PSP, and the 2 projects will share codes for their JSRs’ implementation. Since I’ll be working on pspkvm, however, next release of pspME may not come very quickly; But once it comes, it’ll be a CDC based and JIT Compiler enabled VM.

See you in pspkvm!

TRStealthX released an update to PSAFE.

Release notes:

With over 200 users in less then 24 hours it would be a mistake not to upgrade PSAFE. PSAFE v2 touches up on the stuff that v1 needed. It adds a couple of bug fixes, hides the setup files, and fixes the email problems it was having. The README file will guide you through everything you need to know, including what’s coming up from PSAFE. As always, thanks for downloading.

Please note that I tried to explain as much as possible about the next 2 FINAL versions of PSAFE in the README file. So if you are confused or you have opinions for the next 2 versions – download and read the README

SG57 has released “Small Game” to the PSP community.

Release notes:

Well, your Mr.Green with an elastic extension jutting out of you (O.o) connected to a wrecking ball, if you will. Object of hte game is to flail that sucker around to send the other enemies that are out to get you to flying. (it’s pretty addictive hitting them all and watching them sail off the screen, the SFX make me laugh everytime…).

I’m not the best, but I do enjoy playing every time. (whoever knows my high score gets a cookie)

Select to cycle through bg effects (one of them turns them off if you dont like them).
Start is pause.
R and L triggers will make subtle changes to the background effects (yet those small changes result in a big graphical difference ^^).
Analog / D-Pad – move your guy
