Dhammapada PSP is a simple Dhammapada reader.

Further explanation:

“The Dhammapada is an anthology of verses, belonging to the part of the Theravada Pali Canon of scriptures known as the Khuddaka Nikaya, and consists of 423 verses.

Something like a quarter of the verses are to be found in other parts of the Pali Tipitaka, particularly in the other verse parts of the Khuddaka Nikaya such as the Sutta Nipata and the Thera- and Theri-gatha.

The Dhammapada is probably the most popular book of the Pali Canon, with the possible exception of the Satipatthana Sutta, or the Sutta on the Turning of the Wheel of the Law (Dhamma-cakka-ppavattana Sutta). It is certainly the most frequently translated portion.” – John Richards (19.Oct.1993)

Aura has updated his security application PSP Lock. It allows you to set a password before you actually can use your PSP.

Release notes:

I made this a while back, I’ve removed the annoyance of the Sony startup screen everytime you enter the XMB, and I’ve also fixed a few bugs in the code.

Tested on 3.52M33-4 but should work on all version.

Instructions are in the readme, and example lock.lock and config.lock files are also included.

Hopefully in a future update I’ll remove the 2 main bugs (CXMB and password upon exiting a game).

Any questions, just ask

atariland2600 has updated his game GoSub2.

Release notes:

Since I can’t type in code in 2600IDE any more, I had to reduce the number of mazes to 55 🙁 But after every nine mazes is a bonus round in which you try and shoot the octopus and shark as many times as possible for a set amount of time (represented by the time bar at the top.) This doesn’t really do much except boost your score, and I’m wondering if I should make it so every 100 points you get an extra life.

If you can’t avoid the critters, or you need to relieve a little stress, you can always Squish ‘Em instead!
