PSPHugo is a port on PSP of one latest version of Hu-Go. For those who haven’t seen previous version Hu-Go is a famous emulator of NEC PC Engine console, running on many system such as Linux and Windows. (see http://www.zeograd.com/ for details).
Changes:
– Major speed improvement
– Text editor to write your own comments on games
– Display first comment line while browsing game files
– Improve cheat menu & memory monitoring engine
– Text editor to modify the global cheat.txt file
– Bug fix in unzip function (if you tried to unzip more than 10 files, it wasn’t able to open any other files, and you had to restart the emulator)
This version doesn’t fix any compatibility issue, so all games that didn’t work with earlier versions still won’t run.

Nanodesktop is a library for the development of simple applications under embedded platforms, as the Sony Playstation Portable (TM).
The Nanodesktop library is totally written in C for maximum performance. If you have a platform where you cannot run traditional windows environments, as X-Window (TM), you can try Nanodesktop library.
Release notes:
I have released a new version of Nanodesktop (0.3.5). This version is only for developers, some features don’t work yet (but it is 99% working).
My hope is that other developers can work on it. For example, I’m looking for somebody that can help me to add the support for
the PyKey driver (the code is already written and ready; I need only a programmer that writes the calls to the driver and that tests the hardware).

Irdeto Sage is a Irdeto based file encryptor/decryptor for PlayStation Portable.
Release notes:
Her’s the more polished version of Irdeto Sage file Encryptor/Decryptor for the Sony PSP.
This version adds another step to the crypt algorithms with little time overhead,
also an interface tidy up, and a file footer is added to encrypted files to prevent
encrypting a file twice, or trying to decrypt a file that is already in plain state
(ie. the program knows if a file has been encrypted with this program or not).
Encrypted files produced with IDS V1 are not compatible with V2 for two of the reasons given above.
Full source is given away with this release.

SophT translated dark-jeys Casino Royal. There are three games included: Poker, Black Jack and a Slot machine.
Quote:
I’ve taken the liberty of translating Dark-Jey’s PSP HomeBrew release PSP Royal Casino v1.0 into english. The entire gui is graphical in PNG format, so some of the graphics may not be flashy as the original, but others, in my opinion, are better.
I haven’t done any of the coding here, I simply translated from French to English, So I can’t offer any support for it, outside of language barriers.

Irdeto Sage is a Irdeto based file encryptor/decryptor for PlayStation Portable.
Release notes:
Here is the first full version of Irdeto Sage.
You can currently change the private key with an arcade style rotator, and a basic file browser has been implemented to select files.
The Irdeto crypto algorithm is very strong despite security loopholes with smartcard hardware that allowed people to extract keys from them. You can attempt a brute force of the irdeto private key (HMK) with FMcard Windows program by Fatmate available here: http://www.geocities.com/qarqeaan2/programs.html provided that you have a matching Encrypted and Plain key pair which is given in the Irdeto demo mode of Irdeto Sage. It would in all probability, take many lifetimes to stumble onto the key.
The target file must be 20Mb or less, since the processing is done in RAM, and the program is compatible, and tested on the PSP fat.
