Add "compass" to that list of rumored features -- again -- for the next, still-unconfirmed iPhone revision, alongside video production capabilities, a slide-out keyboard, OLED display, LTE / Verizon support, and EV-DO rev. B (okay, not really that last one). Boy Genius Report has obtained two screens allegedly from an unreleased iPhone OS build that suggest a magnetometer'll be part of the new hardware. Given turn-by-turn navigation is now an option for developers, we'd say having directional support is almost a necessity. Why there's also an option for Kitchen Sink in the image we haven't the foggiest, but we're gonna go ahead and add "holographic plumbing assistant" to that wishlist.

The launch of the Ovi Store is just around the bend and, according to reports, Nokia is looking to blow things out a little better than Google, which launched its Android Market with a paltry 50 selections. Nokia is said to have over 20,000 "items" ready for download when things go live, a number that compares quite favorably to the 40,000 apps Apple currently offers through its App Store. However, what remains to be seen is exactly what an "item" is defined as. We're sure that count includes custom apps and WidSets, and there's talk about N-Gage games finding inclusion as well. However, video and music downloads seem to be counted and we'd guess ringtones too. So, how many actual applications will it have at launch? That remains to be seen.

Alek posted this on his site:
Well, as we have just seen some time ago, R2 of this Homebrew Enabler has been released, and after watching so many questions, so many emails and etc, let’s recapitulate.
1. ChickHEN does NOT play ISO/PSX/similar files. So, if you want to play your backups, use your UMD’s instead.
2. So, ChickHEN does (now with R2) play homebrew, for every single model and mobo revision to date.
3. Want to see a Compatibility List? Click here
4. ChickHEN does NOT allow flash changes. Therefore, if you use any app that installs anything on flash0 (cfw, themes, whatever), you will end with a brick. And no, there is no (actual) solution to this for the 88v3/3k models.
5. You are getting problems loading the HEN? Be sure to have copied all the images onto PHOTO dir, and if you are can’t load it, shutdown completely the PSP, restart and try again. (Pressing X when the image icon has appeared, and wait)
And no… there are no plans for 5.50cfw or of any other way of making this ISO-capable.
Anyway, any other thing to take in consideration?
After many delays, ChickHEN for 5.03 fw has been released
So, what do those 88v3 and 3k users have? Homebrew (user + kernel), being in memory instead of flash0.
Some considerations (thanks n00b81 btw!) would be the fact that it doesn’t allows you to run any sort of UMD backups or PSX games, neither plugins; and it would be interesting that you NOT install any custom theme on them, or you will end up with a bricked PSP.
Good work, guys.
pd. No, this doesn’t overtakes the pre-IPL stuff that Dark_AleX explained here but well, it’s an interesting step.

Davee is back with a new release of his Homebrew Enabler for PSP 3000s and all those on consoles that previously couldnt do homebrew
[ChickHEN Revision 2] - Team Typhoon
[Changelog]
- Now supports homebrew
- Homebrew Support enhanced
- Tiff image blocking in HEN (displays unsupported)
[What it does?]
ChickHEN works as a homebrew enabler for all PSP models (1000, 2000 and 3000) and allows execution of homebrew games and apps on 5.03 Official firmware. It can allow you to play games such as Bugz!, Jellycar or run apps such as pspfiler and PSPTube. Homebrew enhances the experience of a normal PSP without any faulty side-effects.
[What it does not do?]
- Run ISO, CSO or any other form of UMD backup.
- Run PSX Games
- Touch The Flash of your beloved PSP
- Magically allow the use of Custom Firmware (on TA-088v3 or PSP 3000)
- Load plugins
[How do I use it?]
Depending on your PSP Model, you're going to need a specific tiff image. If you have a Phat (1000) PSP, use the tiff image supplied in the "PHAT" folder and copy it to ms0:/PSP/PHOTO. Else copy the tiff image in the "SLIM" folder to ms0:/PSP/PHOTO. After you've copied the image to your PSP, you can copy the h.bin supplied to the root of the memorystick (ms0:/). This should be sufficient for PSP to reboot into ChickHEN.
[Can it break my PSP?]
ChickHEN works differently to all previous HEN's. Instead of flashing to flash0, it resides entirely in RAM to prevent any damage to the system. Sure enough, you can run applications in HEN to flash stuff but I strongly recommend against it. ChickHEN comes with no warrenty, no guanantee and you run this software under your own responsibility. Flashing onto your PSP WILL BRICK IT!!
As stated, HEN comes with no warrenty, and this software should not be used in conjunction with homebrew which can countervent any copyright laws.

News/release from SuperFury1
I have ported the popstation.exe application for the pc to the psp.
popstation is a pc application that converts a PSX ISO/BIN to a PSX EBOOT.
The package can be found on my site. Within the package there's also a manual (manual.txt).
To install, simply copy the folder in the package to you PSP GAME folder.
Just go to the psp -> links and find the download. (POPStation PSP)
All there's left is to test it in different firmwares. I know it works under cfw 5.00m33-4 (that's the one i used).
If tested under a different firmware that isnt below, please post if it works in this topic.
UPDATEs:
v2.0: Added a list of psx titles & IDs. It will now change the psx EBOOT save id, game title and game ID, according to what game you select (list is retrieved from psx.db. The psx.db file might be outdated, search Google etc. to find the most recent one).
v3.0: Changed the software a bit so that the conversion should always be at maximum speed. Further i added the option to add multiple pictures of games at the same time. Also the software will automatically generate saved data for the conversion at the end of the iso writing part.
OTHER TOOLS that have something in common with this application:
PSX DataBase
Editor v1.0: It let's you edit psx.db file (MS-DOS Application). To look up on the commands you just type help<(enter)>
Due to limited stack space, it only can hold up to 1000 records. When loading a file with more than 1000 records, the information will be truncated to 1000 records.
PSX DataBase Editor v1.1: Added a command that displays some extra information about the application and the version info (in this case 1.1).
Tested firmwares:
5.00m33-4
5.00m33-6
The files can still be found on my website, having the required files included.
UPDATES:
v3.1: Added a menu where you can choose your previous conversions from and continue them right away without having to enter the directory name. You can also choose to start a new conversion. Further i added some code to delete the PSX EBOOT game fully from your memory stick when it notices that your pictures combined are too large. It will also give you the ammount of space that's too large for the PSX EBOOT.
Hope you like it!

Bill Blake has released a new version of MESS for PS3 Linux:
MESS is an acronym that stands for Multiple Emulator Super System. MESS will more or less faithfully reproduce computer and console systems on a PC. MESS emulates the hardware of the systems and sometimes utilizes ROM images to load programs and games. Therefore, these systems are NOT simulations, but the actual emulations of the hardware.
* Mon May 4 18:00:00 2009 Bill Blake
- Not using ARCHOPTS for now
- Added patch for native resolution (unofficial)
* Thu Mar 5 17:00:00 2009 Bill Blake
- Rebuild for YDL 6.1 / PS3 using modified spec from rpmfusion
