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.
