sony psp player is still working on his PSP application Coverflow.

Quote from sony psp player:

Hi,

I’m here to tell you that my (now our) project is still alive. Nielkie joined me. He has done a cover search function.

List of new features:
-Progress bar
-Cover search
-Visualizer
-less bugs due to new id3lib by Nilkie
-Album based (far from working)

The menu in the video is not finished yet, nor is the cover search function, but i wanted to give you an idea of it.

News from Torch:

What does Hold+ do when the switch is enabled?

* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitrary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows operation of the PSP with the display turned off, to change volume, skip songs etc.

Release notes:

Modified the code a bit so that it should work better in GAME mode, although I don’t really support using it in GAME mode.

Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator.

Release notes from J.F.:

Here’s test 18. Cross your fingers and hope this fixes it ONCE AND FOR ALL. If you’re any decent at beta testing, you’ll notice the new PSP setting for relaxed timing on the 60 Hz IRQ. When enabled, the 60 Hz timer waits about 16 ms from whatever the time currently is, so you get the 60 Hz IRQ about 60 times a sec, but no guarantees. Disabled uses the default B2 code to try to maintain a drift-free 60 Hz interrupt. This naturally uses more time and can bog down the Mac depending on what else is going on. The default is relaxed timing, which is much smoother.
