Updated release from Art
Hi Guys,
Here's an update to Bitmap Hunter for devices 16 bit graphics.
Bitmap Hunter is a homebrew program for Sony PSP designed to hunt,
and directly edit monochrome, 256 colour, or 16 bit bitmaps within firmware files
for electronic devices so they can be user customised.
Bitmap Hunter has now been tested with Apple Ipod firmware,
although I don't own the ipod hardware to try loading it.
YouTube Video (shows GPS with modified screens at the end) :
YouTube - Bitmap Hunter V4
Video is of Bitmap Hunter V4 with 256 colour (8 bit) graphics.
This definately marks my retirement from the PSP scene (the programming side at least).
I've moved on to my first Windows program, and would like to look into the Apple iphone later on.
It would be safe to say this will be my last public PSP program unless I happen to need something
for myself in aid of some project that may also suit others.
Cheers, Art.

Hello everyone!...
Well some truth is to be known about the current statements about the Rumors that dashhacker has reversed the PSP remote play functions. Well all good and dandy but there is some news to be said about it.
Back when I was working on E-Premo I did alot of research in the dumps of the ram. And there are a few things that the PSP and the ps3 needed to get to connect.
ps3_name
ps3_mac
ps3_keytype
Anyways. They got this with 2 little pluggins from the PSP itself.
flash0:/vsh/resource/npsignin_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/module/npsignin_plugin.prx
Reversing those can also get you some basic information, and thats most likely what he did and tried to make a big hype about it.
Being the fact they have now upgraded the remote play a bit it may be a bit more advanced. They use 3 different keys based off the base64 algorythm *spelling*. Anyways it has to do with alot of signin and auth over an http network as the PS3 acts like a server on port 9293. And it runs off multiple information off the flash and relates it as Native: . It also works with certs, and UID (uniqueId).
There were also some sha keys as well and I never got to the point of figuring out where they came to use, but I'm sure they pull a point in authorizing everything.
Anyways, to basicly emulate the remote play you would have to fully emulate the PSP and use the stock remote play function as creating your own remote play will not correctly or even allow you to connect with the PS3.

News/release from pedroduarte0
This time, good news for people who want to run PS2Doom from memory cards:
Now the .WAD file is loaded from the same directory ps2doom.elf resides, so this avoid the mess of having files at the root of USB storage devices. As a consequence, the files can be entirely placed at memory cards. USB storage devices are still supported, of course.
Currently, HDD is not yet supported. To detect the device name and full path of ps2doom.elf I just parse the main’s argv[0] string. It seems that when launching from HDD using uLaunchELF, the device name appears as “host:”… So I’m not sure on how to detect when ps2doom is executed from HDD. Any help?
I believe HDD support will be added along with a config file where would be listed all the .WAD paths to feed a WAD selector.
Another feature added :
- The Quit option menu now boots back to the OSD PS2 Browser

Electronic Arts is pushing the DS not just in the West, but in the East as well, where EA Japan has just announced an original action adventure game for the system. The game is called Shonen Kininden Tsumuji and promises ninja action set in dungeons.
You take control of Tsumuji, a young ninja in training. One day, a mysterious group of ninjas attacks the mountain retreat of Tsumuji, his family, and his childhood friend Momo. It's up to Tsumuji to save the bunch, making use of a large shuriken known as "Senpuuki."
Actual gameplay details are scarce, but we know you'll be exploring dungeons and using the stylus to guide Tsumuji in fights against ninja foes. There also appears to be be somewhat of a collection component to the game, as EA says you'll have to gather "secrets" from hidden places, like under floors and behind walls.
We have a feeling information should be forthcoming on Shonen Kininden Tsumuji shortly, however, as the game has already appeared in playable form. EA showed the game in January at Japan's World Hobby Fair event, but asked the Japanese media to refrain from speaking about it. The title will be reappearing this weekend at a Coro Coro Comics sponsored event at the Suzuka Circuit raceway. This hopefully means official details will follow through the usual Japanese sources like Famitsu.
For now, we have just one piece of artwork for you. Take a long look, and wonder what a Japanese EA game will be like.

FluBBa has released his first Emulator for the DS and its of the arcade game Green Beret.
heres the details:
I've finaly got my thumb out and "finnished up" my first DS emulator
It plays Green Beret and Green Beret alone.
To make it work you have DLDI patch the .nds file first and then create a gberet folder on your card, either in the root of the card or in the data folder in the root. Now put the unzipped rom files in the gberet folder.
I'm very interested in how this works on different cards, or if you can make it work at all. The .nds file is prepatched for DS-X cards.

Copper continued to improve its emulator roms MAME Game PAC MAN and 60 other similar games, "DS PACK.
Reminder:
Pack-DS emulates up to 60 MAME roms in. Zip.
-The resource pack contains screenshots, cabinets, flyers, marquees to copy in the same place as your ROM.
-The pack contains the png images as well as a batch to convert them into resources compatible with the emulator.

* I switched the arrows keys and the L / R. ...
* That said cyclo ds evolution using L / R to change the page (and I still find it more logical), but good because I use more my AceKard 2i to test at this time ... To see so if more people prefer the old keys, it is not excluded that I spare again ....
* I took the opportunity to improve the reset, I do save the hi-score until it has actually changed (which accelerates the return to the menu otherwise) and I cut the sound before the backup which should avoid unpleasant noise ...
