ScummVM a program that uses free and open source code is a project to enable classic games like: Monkey Island 1 & 2, Day of The Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Sam n Max, Simon 1 & 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, BASS/CD, and Gobliiins among others to work on systems for which they were never intended.

PSP Gamepad is a cool mod done by Klesk in an effort to use previous gaming controllers with your Sony PSP. A lot of work went into this, so hats off to Klesk for this original and well documented Sony PSP hack. Here are a few quotes from their site and an image:

The target of this project is creating a low-cost interface that allows multiple Gamepads to be connected to the PSP’s infrared port.
As it is in a pretty early (but working) stage, the interface only works with 2 Master System Gamepads.

Plans for the Future are:

* Support for Sega Genesis Gamepads and C64 joysticks
* Support for 4 Gamepads
* Making it more portable

A great RPG-style homebrew game has been released by an unknown author entitled Terra Incognita. This is in the very early stages of development and runs a bit slow. Full screen is also not supported yet.

Controls:

• D-Pad: Movement
• Cross: Jump
• Square: Attack, grab/toss objects, talk, read
• Circle: Use item
• L1/R1: rotate camera
• Triangle: switch camera

For 1.50 users, you’ll need to use KXploit (or a similar tool) to convert the supplied EBOOT.PBP. The game must be installed to PSP\GAME\TERRAPSP in order for it to work.

xwd has been working on getting a PSP emulator to work under windows. He has had some success in getting it to work with commercial PSP software as well as homebrew. He still has quite a few bugs to work out and is not sure whether he will ever actually release it, due to the piracy implications. Here are a few quotes from the dev and some screenshots of his work:

“These are screenshots of an emulator that has been taking all of my spare time lately. And it’s currently showing quite a bit of progress. Puzzle Bobble is completely playable at around 5-8 FPS. Mercury almost gets in game, and Ridge Racers stops some time after the state shown above.â€?

Basically it’s just an allegrex/fpu/vfpu interpreter, with native mode library implementations; HLE like.. =) Some audio functions have been done, and quite a lot of 3D stuff done. All rendering is currently done in software. I really think it’s enough for now.

Currently I’m cleaning up the code a bit, and trying to fix all those remaining bugs. Not really sure if i should give it out, because it runs some commercial games (as seen above) in addition to most of the homebrew stuff around.â€?

A new refined loader has crossed our sites! MrSiir, Yoshihiro and VieriCrespo have compiled another great loader for you to try out all your UMD images directly from your memory stick.
