c64psp v0.1 (C64 emu for PSP)

c64psp is a Sony PSP port of Christian Bauer’s Frodo C64 emulator. Currently, disk image handling is not implemented, but pressing”Start”will load the file”snapshot.fss”from the main c64psp directory. USB connectivity is enabled on startup, so simply replace”snapshot.fss”with a snapshot saved from a desktop version of Frodo running your favourite game and just hit”Start”to reload. Control is limited to emulation of the Port 2 joystick. Diagonals may not seem to work properly, but this seems to bea PSP problem, not an urchin problem. Video seems to work well, though is not centered at the moment. Sound is working, but there seems to be some voice drop out – not sure yet whether this is Frodo, SDL_mixer, or urchin related. c64psp has only been tested on a firmware V1.5 PSP and was developed using SDL for graphics, SDL_mixer for video and the pspdev compiler toolchain. Intended as a preview, there are many features missing and probably many unexpected features included.

PSP Firmware Downgrader for v2 PSPs (PSP misc)

Most of the PSP interested people might have already read about it. There is a WORKING downgrader for 2.00 PSP’s.While previous news were mostly fake and the staff of PDR didn’t write about it, this one is real! It has been confirmed to work byWiddy/Metalvotze, one of my mate from the demoscene, who tried it himself.For all of you who don’t know what to do with this: Sony’s PSP v1.00 and v1.50 are able to run homebrew code, such as homebrew games and emulators, using an exploit. Other versions can’t do this. European PSP’s were shipped with v2.00 by default, and now their owners have the chance to get their hand on homebrew stuff. Whilehomebrew also enables warez, you are encouraged to be fair and buy games you like. Homebrew and warez are two different pairs of shoes and please respect the hard work of commercial developers. This is also in the sense of the team who found the bufferoverflow making this downgrade possible.The base for the MPH downgrader was the recently discovered buffer overflow while displaying a picture. Based on this buffer overflow, they managed to bypass and access an eboot file with the old 1.5 firmware.If you downgrade your PSP v2.00 be sure to follow the instructions one by one.Attention: Everything has been confirmed to work by several people now, BUT doing such a thing to your PSP can probably break it and doing this downgrade surly violates the Sony given warranty.I try to avoid my personal opinion in newsposts, but this one has to be said: Great work MPH! And welcome all the new PSP v1.5 owners 🙂http://www.tehskeen.net/modules.php?name=News&file=showarticle&threadid=539

woogal has ported the Ego-Shooter Duke Nukem 3D to the GP32. The game has no music, sfx and save states yet. It runs at 132 mhz, so overclocking of your GP32 is NOT required. The only things you need are some of the files from the original PC version, which are of course NOT included.http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=20873
