If you’re sporting one of these bad boys — the NEO PSP Motion Kit Adapter to the left, then you best be downloading Raphaels’ MotionDriver v1.0 (for users) and the SDK (for developers).

…Say what?

(more…)

Welcome again one of my personal favourites — Raphael’s JoySens. Yesterday Raphael released [two] new versions correcting several bugs you likely encountered in JoySens 1.41.

If you’re the Johnny-come-lately type, you should know JoySens enables refined control over the PSP analog nub. Adjust sensitivity, remap D-Pad <-> Analog, fine-tune movement smoothness, and much more… Ensure you familiarize yourself with everything JoySens has to offer via the readme.

She’s a minor one… PSP2600 version 1.1.4. By now you’re vastly familiar with ZX and his perfectionism when it comes to the dev. game. So, needless to say, enjoy emulating the Atari 2600 in all its glory.

PSP2600 v1.1.4 changes:

• A thumbnail image is now displayed in the file requester while selecting any file with the same name of a previously saved game.
• In the emulator menu you can go directly to keyboard and settings menu using the L-Trigger key.
• Fix IR keyboard issue with fw >= 3.80 for FAT PSP

Prepare yourself for nullDC — the SEGA Dreamcast emulator for the PlayStation Portable. drkIIRaziel, who’s responsible for the nullDC PSP port, has shared several videos confirming its authenticity.

Still under active development with no release just yet, the videos show nullDC to be rather sluggish. But hey, it renders nicely — sort of… Release imminent? We can only hope.

Search YouTube for more nullDC videos.

From the FuSa crew to you — FuSa screenShoot! The name speaks for itself; FuSa screenShoot is a PRX plugin used for snapping screen shots at any given time. Sure, other plugins may do the trick, but here’s the difference:

• This plugin takes picture of “real screen”, so you can use it with FuSa (instead of grabvram+RVV)

Press “+” and “SELECT” to take a screenshot. (picture will be saved in the “PICTURE” folder as “frmbuf###.bmp”)

You can also assign your own button or buttons combo with help of ConfiguratoR (Win32 version include
d in this package). Just run it and choose desired button or buttons combo, then click on SAVE button and you will get config.key (at the same folder where you’ve launched program). Copy it to your seplugins folder and enjoy.

Experience all the Atari 7800 classics in the palm of your hand with ZX-81’s port of ProSystem.

ProSystem is written by Greg Stanton and faithfully mimics the Atari 7800 game console on Windows. See here.

PSP7800 v1.1.3 changes:

• Sound improvement, new prosystem.dat file & NTSC Palette fix by Carpy (aka Danno)
• A thumbnail image is now displayed in the file requester while selecting any file with the same name of a previously saved game. It might be very helpful to recognize that game later if you have thousand different games in your rom folder!
• Auto-fire uses now the key mapped as Cross button instead of FIRE1 (games such as Xevious use FIRE2 for fire so it is better this way)
• In the emulator menu you can go directly to keyboard and settings menu using the L-Trigger key.
• Fix IR keyboard issue with fw >= 3.80 for FAT PSP
• Fix random black screen issue
• Bug fix in the low battery watchdog

Avid users of Mediumgauge’s PSP Filer… It’s that time again — time to update the bits and bytes on your memory stick. PSP Filer version 5.4 solely improves on its integrated picture viewer; check the 411 below.

• added a feature to jump to the edge of the picture by pressing START with left, right, up and down.
• enabled to move next/previous picture while reading picture in foreground.

It’s sad, but true… (Newer?) Slim models utilizing the TA-088 motherboard render Despertar del Cementerio (DC), Pandora, and Time Machine useless — for the time being…

Custom/unsigned IPLs fail to load from the memory stick; that’s likely a result of the kernel 1.50 & 3.40 mix. With that said, we won’t see a new version of DC — Dark_AleX’s universal unbricker — until the revamped core and interface is finished. So in the meantime, be careful.

Equip your soon-to-be MacOS-enabled hand held… Quickly following the release of Test 20, J.F. — better known as Chilly Willy ’round these parts — has officially unveiled Basilisk II 1.1.0 for the PSP.

Allow me to reiterate the Basilisk II PSP features:

• Emulates a Mac II series machine running OS 7.0.1 through 8.1, depending on the ROM used.
• Uses UAE CPU emulation, with new SoftFloat FPU emulation for better compatibility.
• The PSP memstick can be mounted on the Mac desktop (requires File Manager 1.2).
• Supports on-the-fly change of colors and resolution (requires Display Manager).
• Has stereo, 16-bit, 44kHz audio (requires Sound Manager 3.0).
• Supports emulated floppy and CDROM with removable media (no CD audio yet).
• Supports up to four hardfiles for use as fixed drives.
• UDP tunnel for AppleTalk networking across WIFI (no general networking yet).
• Emulates a Mac Extended ADB keyboard and mouse. Buttons can be remapped on-the-fly, and popular IR keyboards are supported on the Phat PSP.
• Supports extra memory and TV out on the Slim PSP.

The official release comes very well documented. I suggest reading the PDF should you have any questions or issues. Both the binary and source archive are packaged in 7-zip format; Google that if you’re unsure how to extract the contents.

Kudos Chilly Willy, terrific work.
