The opportunity to sign amateur products in order to run smoothly on official firmware, has revolutionized the PSP hack that time had slowed its speed. However, there are limitations in the signature of homebrew, then become necessary as the Homebrew Enabled creations, such HEN, whose main function is to be able to run unsigned software.
HEN exploit the bug of FW for which they designed, and are always stored in memory, then re dovendoli whenever the console was switched off. With HEN signed, this practice is now much faster, but who knows what and how many saints have been repeatedly called into question during attempts to initiate the known ChickHEN to 5.03.
The coder kgsws has always been very active in the PSP scene, has finally found a way to remedy the volatility of HEN. Indeed, he has managed to "install" on the flash0 dell'HEN loader, so it starts at every boot of the PSP. It was simply a "sign" the loader (making some changes to the code) and replace the vshmain.prx present in the original flash0.
The proceeding was that he only tested on PSP 1000 (FAT), but according to what he says, should be feasible even on later models of PSP.

A second release candidate of OpenTTD has been released. OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

1.1.0-RC2 (2011-03-04)

• Fix: Following a vehicle with a very high VehicleID was impossible (r22181)
• Fix: [NewGRF] Memory leak if an industry NewGRF had more than one prop A or 15, or a station NewGRF had more than one prop 09 (r22175, r22165)
• Fix: [NewGRF] Disable a station NewGRF when it contains an unterminated spritelayout in action0 prop 08 instead of crashing (r22164)
• Fix: Building a station part adjacent to both an existing station and a rail waypoint failed [FS#4541] (r22163)
• Fix: No update of NewGRF window when unknown GRF name becomes available [FS#4533] (r22162)
• Fix: [NewGRF] Industry prop 0x11 is 4-bytes long, not 3 bytes (r22157)
• Fix: Stations/infrastructure were not properly sold on some clients during bankruptcy [FS#4529] (r22154)
• Fix: The Greek translation did not work as it breached the 200.000 bytes ´limit´ for loading language files [FS#4536] (r22153)
• Fix: Windows video driver crashed when it could not go to full screen at the resolution of the configuration file when starting OpenTTD [FS#4521] (r22149)
• Fix: Do not run savegame conversion during SlNullPointers; the pointer might not be converted or be NULL at that point (r22146)
• Fix: Some valid keycodes were ignored along with the invalid ones (r22142)
• Fix: When commands need to invalidate windows, process these events asynchronously before the next redraw. Calling window code directly from command scope uses wrong _current_company and might issue nested DoCommands() which interfer with the running command [FS#4523] (r22141, r22140, r22135, r22134)
• Fix: [NewGRF] Skipping only the invalid part of an action14 failed, the rest of the action was skipped instead (r22138)
• Fix: Spectators had crashes when closing buoy windows (r22131)
• Fix: Build-station-window showed wrong selection when reopening [FS#4530] (r22128)
• Fix: Canals would get drawn as land in the smallmap when using the owner window (r22127)
• Fix: The animation-ness of two goldmine tiles were swapped, causing the wheeltower to not work properly, and the bottom corner to show the wrong sprite [FS#4528] (r22125)
• Fix: CommandQueue::Pop() did not update ´last´; popping the last item caused the queue to disconnect unless there was only one item [FS#4522] (r22123)
• Fix: When a NOT_REACHED in saveload can be reached due to an invalid savegame, use SlErrorCorrupt instead. In other words, do not crash but show an error message (r22122)
• Fix: In case of high frame_freq one could get commands executed after a new network game was started (r22121)
• Fix: [NoAI] Prevent AIs from getting consistently over their allowed amount of operations by subtracting the amount they went over ´budget´ from the budget for the next ´tick´ (r22120)
• Fix: The refit window was not correctly updated after selecting with Ctrl+Click [FS#4525] (r22118)
• Fix: CanRemoveRoadWithStop() failed for _current_company = OWNER_TOWN, and for OWNER_NONE-owned road (r22117)

One little-noticed upgrade to the AT&T iPad2's 3G radio will make a big difference to many users outside the US and international travelers: the refreshed tablet now supports quad-band UMTS, like the iPhone 4. The original iPad, as well as the iPhone 3G/3GS, only had tri-band UMTS, omitting support for the 900 MHz band common in Asia and parts of Europe. The Verizon model's CDMA radio, on the other hand, is compatible with very few carriers' networks worldwide, making it a poor choice for globetrotters.

One of the complaints about the iPhone3G, and its successor the 3GS, was that it supported only AT&T's 850 and 1900 MHz UMTS bands, and the 2100 MHZ band used in Europe and Asia. Many carriers in Australasia, however, use the 900 MHz band, especially in rural areas, and since the... [Read More]

Pate has today released a new version of his Dos emulator for the Nintendo DS which is a version of DSx86 for the SuperCard DSTwo flash cart:
Changes in DS2x86 0.05
The major improvements and fixes in this version are the following:
Preliminary support for high resolution EGA/VGA modes 640x200, 640x350 and 640x480 added. NOTE! Scaling does not work properly in these modes yet.
Implemented preliminary support for Mode-X mode 360x240 (for the Settlers game).
Implemented a lot of missing opcode variations, now a majority of the most common opcodes have been implemented, but many rare opcodes are still missing.
Increased the EMS memory size to 4MB, which allows Elder Scrolls: Arena to start up.
You can now switch between the configuration sections in the INI file on-the-fly, by clicking on the current configuration name.
Fixed a stack alignment problem in overlay loading, which caused an "Exception 5" error in some programs.
Fixed a bug in SETZ opcode, which caused Warcraft to hang when giving a command to dig gold. NOTE! It is recommended that you play Warcraft with "no sound", as the SoundBlaster emulation in DS2x86 seems to cause intermittent freezes and crashes.
Fixed a bug in division-by-zero interrupt handling, which caused Formula One: Grand Prix to fail.
Please send me the debug logs from this version again, they are very helpful when I improve DS2x86!
DSx86 progress
During the past week I also started working on the 286 protected mode features for the original DSx86, specifically when running in DSi mode. Since Windows 3.0 needs HIMEM.SYS to be installed when running in Standard Mode (meaning the 286 protected mode), I started by implementing the HIMEM.SYS features. The next (rather big) step is to change the memory access methods to support accessing memory beyond the first megabyte of RAM. This will sadly make the code slightly slower, as I can not keep all the needed variables in registers any more. This difference should not be anything major, though. I plan to release the next DSx86 version only after I have made this change, so no new DSx86 version today, sorry.
I had partly forgotten how easy and fast it is to work with devkitARM and libnds, after working for over half a year with the DSTwo SDK. You can build the software straight from the Programmer's Notepad, and after that you can test the build using No$GBA. The whole thing takes a few seconds. With DS2x86 it takes nowadays a bit over 8 minutes to FTP-transfer a new build to the DSTwo cart, which is the only place where the new build can be tested. So, I'm very much looking forward to moving my main development focus back to DSx86. I still need to work on improving DS2x86 also for quite a while, though.

Sandbox Engine DS-DSi is a work in progress 3D engine homebrew for the DS made by t377y000. While it's not required to play, it was made with the Sudoku exploit and Cyclo iEvo DSi mode in mind. Join the discussion linked below for more information about this project.

Sandbox Engine DS-DSi Beta 10%
For now its just the basic walk around & scenery. There are basic physics, there's fog, & you can change the scenery texture. There's also a H2 hummer randomly driving around the game, lol. The controls are simple & displayed on the top screen (the controls were on the bottom screen, I'm working on a new code to put them back).
