From the PSP to the iPhone, and back to the PSP again, it’s Danzel’s genuinely crafted Defense Station Portable. The objective, it’s simple… Setup shop in the surrounding area, cannons, laser towers, anti-air guns, etc. There’s an impending attack and you’re on the defense. Once you take out each enemy wave, you’ll collect some cash allowing you to buy more and/or upgrade your current weapons.

If you have an iPhone, pick up “Defense Station Touchable” in the App Store.

It’s real all right… Get a load of Sony’s new PSP Go… Engadget has the inside scoop on what’s what –

…it’ll tout 16GB of internal memory, built-in Bluetooth and an undisclosed memory slot. If all goes well, it’ll ship this Fall for a price to be determined, and it’s actually not slated to replace the PSP-3000, as both of ‘em will attempt to live on store shelves harmoniously…

Not only that; some screens and a live action video –

 
 
 

Oh yeah, it’s UMD-less too.

One for the weekend… Have at it with Xenogears and Becus25’s Custom Firmware Enabler v2.10. Not only will you get the satisfaction of utilizing your UMD backups, you now get POPS (PSOne emulation) support.

And before you ask –
No, ISO/POPS does not work with PSP-3000 models.

How to enable POPS –

1. Download FW 5.00 and PSARDumper
2. Start PSARDumper and decrypt the 5.00 EBOOT
3. Copy “pops.prx” and “popsman.prx” from the F0 directory to your memory stick under PSP/GAME/CFWEnabler/Pops
4. Enable the option, “Enable Pops Support” from CFWEnabler

No doubt one of the handiest homebrews for keeping your PSP fully functional and fully intact: Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher v1.60.

Flash a fresh version of Custom Firmware M33, which can be useful for recovering a semi-bricked PSP, upgrading and/or downgrading between different CFW versions, etc… Make and restore NAND dumps, backup/restore your XMB themes, system settings, PSN activation, and flash memory. All that without Pandora; See the README.

Another console I grew up on — NEC’s TurboGrafx 16. Others may remember this console as the PC Engine, whatever the case, it packed serious hours of awesomeness. And just today — ZX-81 delivers a few more hours with PSPHUGO v1.3.0 — a port of the famous Hu-Go emulator running on a variety of platforms.

PSPHUGO v1.3.0 changes…

• Audio Track support for CD-ROM (support only MP3 format with stereo 16 bits samples at 22k or 44k rate)
• CD-ROM TOC file format support.
• Using TurboRip, ripped CD can now be used directly with PSP-Hugo! See README file for explanations)
• Increase PSP clock speed when playing mp3 CD tracks
• Disable sound while saving states & screenshots (to avoid scratchy noise for few seconds)
• Fix sleep mode issue
• Replace SDL sound engine by direct PSP audio stuff to improve performances
• Fix issue when loading more than one CD image
• New backgrounds

My apologies to Mike D for frying your TG-16 power supply back in the day.

Update: Total_Noob has released DayViewer BETA 2 –

• Added a text file to translate the days and change the time and date format
• More stable
• Supports all date format

Go grab your PSP and look at the date/time in the upper right corner, now look at the screenshot… That’s right — thanks to Total_Noob — display the day of the week alongside the date and time. It’s that simple.

Copy dayviewer.prx to the seplugins directory on your memory stick and enable it from the recovery menu.

I’ve got good news, even more good news, and sadly, some bad news… First, the good stuff: Xenogears and Becus25 have released Custom Firmware Enabler v1.0. This will enable select features — everything but POPs and the recovery console — that are present in most custom firmwares… And yeah, I’m talking ISO (backups of your legitimately owned UMDs) support, baby! Even better: ISOs are working with handhelds sporting the TA-088v3 motherboard. Now onto the bad news… I’m sorry PSP-3000 users — no ISO support for you, not yet anyway.

How to use Custom Firmware Enabler?

1. Copy the CFWEnabler folder to your ms0:/PSP/GAME/ directory.
2. Run ChickHEN R2 to enable homebrew.
3. Start the app called “CFW Loader for ChickHEN”. The first time it will ask you to install the CFW modules to flash0 by pressing circle; then press “X” to start.

With that said, CFW Enabler does in fact write to Flash0. So please exercise caution when using this homebrew; i.e.) Do not turn off your PSP while the modules are flashed.

Cheers Xenogears and Becus25. Nice work.
