WHeltall wheleasing CWCHEAT 0.1.9 REV. “I” today.

Quoting Weltall, here is a summary of changes:

This version has many major changes in the cheat engine by fixing some wrong behaviour with less/greater than multiple and single skip codes. Before, in contrast with the wiki reference, cwcheat checked also the equal in the less/greater than codes; now it’s fixed to don’t check for equal in those cheats. Apart from this the inverse jocker code needed a change because it was conflicting with 8bit single skip codes and now it’s 0xD00000dd 0×3nnnnnnn. Plus 8bit multiple skip codes were added for greater/less/equal/not equal. As for other features now it’s possible to invert the color scheme by using the config file and it’s possible to use the analog to scroll the text in the text reader. And various little fixes and optimizations as always.

So crack open a bottle of WHiskey, whind back, whelax, and enjoy cheating your whay through each and every PSP title. Whhy am I saying whhat, whhat whay? Enjoy!

NIGathan is waving goodbye to the PSP homebrew scene, but not without leaving us a lil somethin’ somethin’ to enjoy. Despite the fact it’s not totally finished, it is the final release. There’s actually a sad story behind NIGathan’s final space shooter… Let me quote:

This is my final release of NIGathan’s Shootuh because I no longer own a PSP. It was stolen from me this Sunday 11/18/07. Yes this is an unfinished release but it does have many updates and no known bugs. There is no way I can finish it at this time, so instead I’m releasing what I have. I expected to add a lot more but I couldn’t continue working on it without my own PSP. With this final release I am saying goodbye to the PSP Homebrew Scene. I would also like to thank everyone who supported and helped me as a PSP Homebrew developer.

Changelog:

• Fixed bug causing the enemy to spawn above the slow-mo meter off of the screen.
• Added a “Kill Streak” counter which counts how ever many enemies you kill before you die.
• Added an increasing difficulty based on the kill streak, every 15 kills in a row the difficulty will increase.
• Added more slow-mo power ups (I never got a chance to actually randomize this so it will always appear in the same place.)
• Fixed bug causing your bullets to home on enemies even if its paused.
• Fixed background image so the shrinking is more noticeable.
• Added a secret cheat menu. To access make sure you are in the main menu, whether you just started the game or if you paused it and pressed triangle, and press these following buttons one at a time in this order R, Left, Down, Square, Triangle. The cheats can be disabled by clicking on cheats (I never got a chance to actually create the menu so when you activate it they are automatically enabled) The cheats that have been added are:
  • Hyper Speed, lets you move a little faster than normal.
  • Super Homing Missiles, makes your bullets home twice as fast.
  • Infinite Lives.
  • Infinite Slow-Mo.
• Fixed homing missiles so they home on enemies more reasonably. (I never got a chance to perfect this but it is better than the last release.)
• I’m sure if there are more updates but as I stated earlier I cant look at it while writing this so I’m just going to leave it at this.

We fatties have been using MapThis for quite some time; well, some of us anyway. Now you — the young Slim fit PSP owners, who use a generic GPS receiver — can transform their hand held into a device capable of locating your very existence in this universe.

Once wired and configured properly you may take advantage of various satellites orbiting the globe. Position your exact whereabouts while mapping out routes to popular destinations and all that. But be careful, you may find yourself somewhere commonly referred to as the Twilight Zone.

MapThis 0.5.20 changes:

• Generic serial GPS receivers support (Holux gpslim236-240, M1000-1200 and others) for slim psp
• One version of the program (FW3.XX) supports both PSP-290 and Holux receivers.
• Type of receiver can now be selected via configuration screen:
  • ENABLESERIALPORT=1 - Holux / serial port gps devices
  • ENABLESERIALPORT=0 - PSP-290 support.

  Note that due to FW limitations the version for 1.0-1.5 firmware does not have support for PSP-290 receiver.

• WIFI upload should now work in all versions of the program. (must be enabled with LOADWIFI=1 flag)
• Variable map scroll speed (controlled via CURSORSPEED=..)
• Zoom in/out animation (toggled with SMOOTHZOOM=1)
• Smooth transition between 2D and bird-view modes
• Sound output controlled programatically in FW3.xx version. (applies to serial port gps devices only) If during program starup the audio/serial connector is not plugged in, the sound is routed to internal speakers.
• Rotating POI icons, better rendering of compass arrows, etc
• Numerous rendering optiomizations (as of v05.05)
• Misc bug fixes
• Code cleanup
• Source code included

kapoue3’s “Yet Another CSO Compressor” (YACC) is, as you know, the acting Windows front end for CisoPlus — the coolest, most in style way to compress your ISO images — to the max!

The latest version bundles a lot of internal changes and improvements to the overall process. kapoue3 has also added a system information tabsheet for Windows XP and higher. You’ll notice two new skins courtesy of yourpsp.ir and Dorian8821. Translations have been further revamped; specifically Persian by yourpsp.ir. A lot of time has been spent implementing an Arabic character set in a non-Unicode Yacc. So kudos to everyone involved, you guys rock!

For all the SEGA Saturn skeptics out there, namely here in the comments — this is for you! Introducing Yabause, an early test version which is developing into a full-fledged SEGA Saturn emulator for the PSP. Yep, it is possible after all.

Installation follows the same steps as any other homebrew app or game. We have a 1.50 kernel compiled version, as well a build for custom firmwares 3.xx. You will however need to obtain the SEGA Saturn BIOS by using those resourceful Googling skills you have. Once found, rename to “saturn.bin” and copy the 512KB BIOS file to your memory stick, under PSP/GAME/yabause or PSP/GAME150/yabause — depending which version you downloaded.
