It seems someone had issues with the port of Interlogic on his BLU+ GP32. A600 kindly released a version which should remove the white bar problem.http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=20989
A port of Phyton (programming language) is in the works. It’s a first version wiht bindings to the essential PSP APIs as well as part of the pspgu.Those interested may download the binaries; they come in two flavors, one with a debug screen to output some text to, and one graphical. Just install it as a regular homebrew, and upon launch the interpreter will start the ‘script.py’ file in the same directory as EBOOT.PBP. When the user quits through the ‘home’ button, the script gets a KeyboardInterrupt.http://fraca7.free.fr/blog/

Much faster save/load. Don’t forget to quit the game with the exit option, otherwise your progress won’t be saved.

Rainer Sinsch has released the worlds first SID Player for the PSP. This version can be still considerd as Test-Version but works well enough for your retro-style music pleasure. Thanks for the news Rainer! (For anyone who intends to copy this news, feel free to give credits, as this release has been sent to PD Roms for publishing.)

Known bugs:
This is a test version, don’t expect too much for now.
Only support for single speed songs for now.
No support for subsongs for now
Maximum of 512 songs in folder (will be changed later).
