Well fine then, be that way. Over to the right you’ll see a select box, you may switch between our old and new look using that. The second level (non-wordpress) pages will follow suit, soon…

Do a “hard” refresh if the change doesn’t take effect immediately — hold shift and click refresh/reload in your browser.

While we’re at the common standstill, which seemingly occurs every couple of weeks, I’ll share a little PSP Hacks Homebrew Idol update with y’all… The deadline was April 30th; however, as MK2k says, “good software takes time.” So in effort to meet the needs of developers, we’ll extend the contest further… Currently we have two entries — Pirata Nervo’s NervOS and MK2k’s Chipmunk Physics port / demonstration.

If you have the skills to code and you wanna clock some extra dough, see here for complete contest details. The new deadline… Ah, well… Another month — May 31st… How’s that sound?

Update: The contest deadline has been extended — please submit final entries by May 31st, 2008. Furthermore, PSP Hacks member, Donkey, has donated his fully hacked 3.90 M33 PSP with carrying case, car charger, and 2GB memory stick. The lucky winner will receive that plus the $500 (CDN) cash prize.

We at PSP Hacks truly enjoy the fine art of homebrew development. Over the years we’ve held several contests allowing authors to showcase and reap the benefits from their hard work.

Now it’s due time for another PSP Hacks homebrew showdown. Unlike previous competitions we let you — the player — be the judge. This time ’round there will only be one homebrew evaluator — that’s me.

All submitted entries will be posted and readily available for download; while other users feedback is certainly appreciated, I’ll be the one responsible for selecting your Global PSP Hacks Homebrew Idol.

Rules:

1. Create a new homebrew app/game or PRX plugin that will blow mine and everyone else’s face off;
2. Update your existing homebrew/plugin to feature something new that will blow mine and everyone else’s face off;
3. Entries must be compatible with custom firmware 3.90 M33-2;
4. Multiple updates/versions before the deadline (see rule #5) are allowed;
5. All final entries must be submitted before March 31st May 31st, 2008.

1st place will land you $500 (CDN) cash OR a brand new PSP Slim + games/accessories equaling $500 in value — your pick. All other contestants will receive a complimentary kudos and a make believe participation ribbon.
