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?

Pirata Nervo may have this contest won… Available direct is NervOS version 1.6. Plenty of improvements and additions bound to please, check ‘em below…

Pirata Nervo uppin’ the ante with a NervOS update. If you dug the last release, you’ll definitely be diggin’ this one. Several additions and changes have been packed into version 1.4 — check ‘em below…

Added:

• Task Manager.
• Music Player integrated in Menu.
• Autoboot prx which runs NervOS (does the same job as a sceKernelExitGame patch).
• Volume Bar.
• Loading screen.

Changed:

• Fixed bug: when executing a ISO/CSO file in Sony np9660 or march33 mode, the iso/cso will not be executed and the mode will be changed to OE Isofs, then NervOS restarts itself but the mode is not applied. - now instead of restarting NervOS, it exits to XMB and the autoboot feature will run NervOS and the OE Isofs mode is applied.
• Volume up/down system.
• Does not display “Loading usb drivers.., Saving user conf..etc..” anymore.
• Fixed a bug with the “Stop Music” feature.
