NervOS is a shell application for PSP’s.
Changes:
The last public release was almost 2 months ago, it was an entry for the psp hacks competition.
This time it’s an entry for the PSP Updates Homebrew Contest. This seems a small release but it’s not.
This version has 105 new/changed features (NOT 105 NEW FEATURES)
For this version I created my own file format which is .upt. It is used by the network updater to know the information about the latest update which is hosted in consoleworld.net’s server.
The file is created by a program I made for ubuntu, I may release it one day with source code. it uses GTK+ 2.0

Sabacc is a card game of luck known throughout the galaxy in the Star Wars universe.
Release notes:
For the Star Wars fans, a PSP version of Sabacc, still in progress, however. It took me about a year to get it to this playable point, as I only get about 2 hours a week to work on it.
I know there’s some bugs:
– The biggie: It will crash after a few rounds. This is actually caused by a call to strlen at some point, each time from somewhere else in the program. Therefore, it’s pretty much random. I haven’t had too much time to analyze libc.
– When starting a new round, the text in the middle of the screen which tells you the selected card is not updated.
– Probably other stuff I can’t think of right now.
Other issues:
– There’s no artwork for the face cards, so all you’ll see is the name of the card. Volunteers welcome.
– Menu lacks help. Up/Down to select. X to confirm.
