PSP Web Browser Emulator

- I added a new function to this website. The old style has been recycled to be a web design tool for those designing content for the PSP. Click the link in the navigation bar on the left, or just try this one: PSP Web Design Tool. Its a basic PSP Web Browser Emulator... really just a correctly proportioned frame on a nice image, but I think it might help some people. If it does, you're welcome.

More DOOM Hacks

- Another WAD pack has been released to make the DOOM / DOOM 2 port into another game, along with Heretic, Quake 2 and Duke Nukem. This time it is GoldenEye! Get it now from PSP-Hacks.
- PS2-NFO has released a tutorial for PSP Homebrew n00bs explaining how to get everything working in detail. You may be interested to pick it up.
- Also making things a little easier is PSP Brew which lets you download all of the homebrew PSP software you want in one easy to use package. Just choose what you want by ticking the boxes by each listing, (such as DGen, SNES, MAME etc.) press submit, then extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to your Memory Stick. Easy!

KXploit 1.5 Unleashed

- Just as promised, PSP-Dev Team have delivered KXploit 1.5, the new improved way of running unsigned code on v1.50 PSPs. Grab it now from one of the sites listed on the Official Mirror List

Sony Dropping PSP Production Numbers and iTrip Hack

- Reports come in that Sony is dropping their PSP production. Sony had earlier informed component manufacturers to expect orders for around 18 million units. However, in a recent meeting with suppliers, Sony confirmed plans to only manufacture 12 million units instead. That is a third of the numbers dropped!
- Meanwhile 20 million Nintendo DS units will be built this fiscal year.
- On a brighter note, check out this hack on Installing an iTrip in your PSP which allows you to broadcast your MP3s over radio waves - great for in car use.

Unsigned Code Exploit for v1.50 PSPs

- The PsP-Dev Team, the people behind exploiting the PSP to run homebrew code, now have a working v1.50 exploit, SwaPloit v1.50. (It should be noted that NEM worked on the v1.00 firmware PSPs.)
- To run unsigned code with SwaPloit you need two Memory Sticks, (you can use the crappy 32MB one that came with the PSP for the loader,) although there is also another method that only needs one MS.
- It has now also been announced that The PsP-Dev Team are going to release KXploit tomorrow. KXploit should be the final version of the v1.50 PSP exploit and will not require two Memory Sticks or any MS swapping.
- It has also been reported that PSP SDK Libraries have been leaked, appearing on servers as PSPdevsrc1.zip 436KB. These files are illegal to own unless you are a licensed PSP developer, but luckily the open source PSPDEV ToolChain has also been released!

New Emulator Releases

- A whole selection of emulators have been released for you to enjoy on your PSP, including a GBA Emulator, SEGA MegaDrive & Genesis Emulator and WonderSwan Color Emulator.
- It is rumored a Neo-Geo CD Emulator is coming soon with a few screenshots surfacing a while ago.
- Doom and Doom 2 have also been ported. Hacks have also appeared allowing Duke Nukem, Quake 2 and Heretic to be played by replacing the WAD files.
- The biggest news though is that XMAME has been ported, which allows you to play hundreds of arcade games on your PSP right now!

UMD Movie Success

- I read some interesting news on Gamasutra. According to a report on MP3Newswire, the movies on UMD's have been more popular than many expected. Resident Evil: Apocalypse and House of Flying Daggers have sold over 100,000 copies each since being released on April 19.
- "The success of the format has led several studios who had previously been supporting Warner's mini-DVD format to drop that format and prepare titles for release on UMD. All studios except Warner, but including Fox, Paramount, and Universal, now have UMD movie releases in the works, with the selected films meant for the 18-30 target market of the PSP's early adopters."

Redesign of PSP-Files.com

- After three weeks of inactivity, PSP-Files is coming back strong. The redesign is being implemented right now so there may be some interruption of your usual high standard service, but it is all for the best, trust me!
- The old design will be put to use as a web design tool for sites formatted for the PSP to test how they will look on the PSP screen.
- Thanks for your patience, pardon our dust!
