Steve Dragoon has released his RGP game PSP-RGP.

Official release notes:

It’s been close to 3 years or something. My time in working on this game is still more to come, but it’s been very slow and I’m now the only working person on it. I will soon make everybody able to edit and create, but right now it’s time for me to release this open beta. As I’ve gotten older, it just seems my time for the project decreases and I try to keep the fans going as much as I can. I held this for too long and maybe it’s time for me to open this up and show all what this is really about.

If things goes well with the open beta, maybe I can find more talented people to help me out on the project. I do have to thank a lot of people for the time and help they have put into this project, and I haven’t finished the OPTIONS and CREDITS in the RPG. Though this is a big achievement for me to release PSP-RPG to the public I hope all goes well. I’m sorry for the long wait all of you had to suffer. lol.

I do keep my word, even though this was held for a long time. I never wanted to gain hype, or anything. It just came and I wanted to learn more on PHP + JavaScript and databasing and I’ve learned a lot from PSP-RPG and this is work I’ve done on my free time and also the earlier version of the RPG back in 2004 I was a part of. To everybody who stayed by my side during my hard work. I thank you, and to the haters, I thank you too, becuase there is not a world without them.

I just want to let you know I will still work on PSP-RPG and it will always be running. With the RPG and our Flash Games that are still being created, It was the PSP fans that really kept me going. From running on a free (and crappy) webhosting site, to paying for and building my own creation. It took my money, my sweat and my time. Even though I can’t be here all the time, I thank all of you. What else can I say?

Oh well, PSP-RPG is now available to to the public. My maverick force members get the taste. Yall go ahead and spread the word

MNPlight aims at getting rid of the need for a computer with iTunes. It runs on your iPhone, and is able to modify the iPhone calendar, address book and iPod databases.

MNPlight can be of particular interest for Linux users who don’t have iTunes, but it can also be used by other users when they want to update their iPhone data when they are away from their iTunes computer.

If you keep using iTunes, you may experiment problems with the Calendar and the Address Book since modifications done on your iPhone won’t be seen by iTunes.

Changes:

iTunes:
FireWire GUID is now automatically computed (thanks to Zoltan Kuscsik)
Photos:
Choose pics to send by e-mail
Upload:
Bug with saving files fixed
File Browser:

Many people had the wish to have another coding competition organized by PDRoms… so we are going for it!

The topic is settled so we are just focusing on fine tuning and writing the rules now. The choosen topic will allow plenty of systems to join the coding fun, details as soon as the compo rules are out.

For now we are writing to various retailer stores, if they are willing to support our compo with vouchers or goodies. The main prize is already settled, like the last compo there will be a brandnew GBA Micro for the first place.

Sony didn’t want us going back to firmware 3.60, Freeplays made my own installer. Using an encrypted, un-sigchecked dump of firmware 3.60, the 3.60 IPL, and a few modules from the 3.52 updater, you can now install 3.60 again on slim PSPs.

The readme is intentionally hard to understand (written for experts) because of the risks posed in flashing your entire firmware this way. There are no safety checks in place or anything.

Changes:

— Update — New version released. I removed the old installer from this post; the newest one is here.
