Resonate is a new PSP Homebrew game where the objective is to evolve. You start as a Sea Urchin, and can move up to Tuna, then Stingray then Thresher Shark by collecting evolution tokens. But get damaged, and de-evolve into a lowly Plankton, or lose the level. As a rail shooter it is all about timing and aiming. This game is inspired by the PS2/DreamCast game Rez.

The game has not been released yet, but a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKmvRmS4cAU

SaveMe is a prx that makes your PSP go into a low consuming mode when you don’t use it for a while.

Changes:

Now the prx runs in kernel mode (so it kicks out most of the freezes problems)
The prx doesn’t crash when launching internet browser (thanks to kernel mode)
If hold is down, the prx won’t launch (usefull on USB connexions)
Deleted the config file (it will be back soon…) (so time is set to about 30 seconds and cpu to 10MHz)
Now the screen is switched off rather than displaying black background (saves more power)
Nothing is displayed anymore (as the screen is off, it would be useless)

This project allows you to view your computers CPU, RAM and Network Usage on your PSP graphically. You are required to run a small server application on the PC which you wish to monitor, the PSP then connects to this over WiFi and displays the info. The server is written in VB6, while the PSP code is in C++.

Changes:

Bugfix – Second attempt at fixing the overflow ‘6’ error in server (had to do with how much data had been transfered over the network since boot, as always feedback is appreciated)

The idea of the game is that you need to factor a very large number which is a multiple of the first 8 primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19. So, for instance:

12355467391260000000 = 2^8 * 3^7 * 5^7 * 7^10

By pressing the left, right, up, down, A, B, X, and Y buttons, you can attempt to divide the large number by a prime. You can increase the power of the prime to attempt more points. Make a mistake and lose even more.

theoxylo has updated his game Rainbow Sprite Wars.

Changes:

* more enemies (2 + 2 + 32)
* new box enemy type (doesn’t do much yet)
* more colors (rainbow!)
* top-screen controls (recommended)
* 3 projectiles on screen (fire #4 to abort #1, etc)

With the new version of iTunes, also a new version of the official iPhone Firmware v1.1.4 has been released.

Following most sources, it says that there were no major changes compared to 1.1.3 but you never know…
