davex released an unofficial version of the Neo Geo emu MVSPSP with cheat support.
Release notes:
Strictly speaking, since NJ added support to the Universal BIOS (UNIBIOS), MVSPSP has been with cheat support. But UNIBIOS support requires raster effects enabled, which may cause graphical errors and performance issues in some cases.
This Unofficial Work in progress MVSPSP version adds cheat support without requiring UNIBIOS. Also adds support to UNIBIOS version 2.3 if you prefer.
The UNIBIOS 2.3 used must be downloaded from The Universe BIOS Official Homepage (google it), because other UNIBIOS modified won’t be recognized.

Alex the Allegator 4 is a true jump’n’run, just like the old classic ones. Guide Alex through the jungle in order to save his girlfriend Lola from evil humans who want to make a bag of her.
Alex the Allegator 4 is a very small game. It runs in a very low resolution with only four colors and will not provide you with any real time video or 3D effects. Nor will it snare you with a compelling storyline. It’s only a short platform game with a few tricks up it’s sleeve.
Release notes:
Tim “Argh!” Wright released a color edition source and data mod for Alex the Allegator 4. So here is the PSP port of Alex the Allegator 4 Color Edition.
Thanks to the author MK2k himself for the news.

undernoizehas released a new game using the Gripshift exploit for Sony PSP-3000 users. If you didn’t know the PSP-3000 has been exploited using a flaw in the Gripshift game allowing booting of homebrew specifically designed for the hack. As the name states it’s an R-Type clone, but by the looks of things it could use some work. None the less, if you’re a PSP-3000 owner you’re stuck with this sort of thing until a proper solution is released.
Thanks to brakken / http://www.tehskeen.com for the news, the newstext and the illustration screenshot!

Wagic is a game that allows you to play “Magic the Gathering” against an AI opponent.
Changes:
The most obvious change in this version is that no copyrighted content is included in this release. This means no cool card thumbnails, but Wagic of course still allows you to put your own card pictures in the appropriate folders to play with nice graphics. If you need help on how to add your own card pictures to the game, the forum might help you. If not, google is your friend, I guess.
Now for the good new features:
– More than 300 new cards, including cards from Tempest, Portal, and the new Conflux Expansion. Many thanks to Dr. Solomat for his work on Tempest and Portal. This means Wagic now officially has more than 1000 cards you can play with, not counting all the ones you can create by yourself (sky’s the limit, yeah!). As usual, check the forums for more cards!
– Wagic now handles Token generators such as the Hive
Sacrifice has been added (I know you’ve been waiting for this one for a long time!)
– New ability keyword: cloud
– Lots of improvements in the card parser, new keywords, etc…. Cards such as Siege-gang Commander, Bad Moon, or the hive can now be 100% coded in the _cards.dat files without having to know one single line of C++ (sacrifice, token generators, “lord†ability improvement, multiple abilites for one cost,moveTo,…)
– Font fixes
– New cool menus
– Lots of improvements for cards shown in “text†mode
– Too many bug fixes to tell
