    Lite-On IT, the largest Taiwan-based maker of optical disc drives (ODDs), has received additional OEM orders for internal DVD-ROM drives for use in Xbox 360 consoles from Microsoft and consequently has given top priority to Microsoft's orders in allocating its total production capacity, according to sources from the ODD components industry in Taiwan.

    To meet Microsoft's urgent demand, Lite-On IT has allocated production capacity solely for turning out one million Xbox 360 DVD-ROM drives a month, the sources pointed out. But the capacity is still not enough, and thus Lite-On IT has dedicated additional capacity, the sources indicated.

    Lite-On IT is the third OEM maker of Xbox 360 DVD-ROM drives having started shipments in June-July with an initial monthly volume of 300,000-500,000 drives, the sources said. Shipments in September were already likely close to one million drives, not including the additional orders, the sources indicated.

    Microsoft has also placed additional orders with Wistron, a Taiwan-based assembly maker of Xbox 360 consoles, the sources indicated.

    Updated release of the Firmware Extender by Cpasjuste

    "Custom Firmware Extender" is a set of plugins for 3.71 m33
    custom's firmware, that will, like the title say, add some extra options to the SONY PSP.

    With "cfe 1.7" you should be able to :

    - Stream Isos via usb.
    - Start a ftpd server while under the VSH (PSP Menu).
    - Make some in-game videos with the help of remotejoy from tyranid (Psp fat only).
    - Reset the PSP with a button while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO).
    - Power off the PSP with a button while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO).
    - Change the speed of the PSP CPU/FSB while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO).
    - Start and stop Usb Mass Storage under the VSH (PSP Menu) while browsing.
    - Enable Usb Mass Storage at startup.
    - Take a screenshot while under the VSH (PSP Menu) or in-game (UMD/ISO) saved in the PICTURE folder.
    - Set a default CPU/BUS speed at startup.
    - Set a default brightness level at startup.
    - Enable brightness button to go to the max level for psp slim.
    - Fully configurable via a configuration file.


    INSTALLATION
    ============

    - Copy the content of the "PSP_FAT_371" or "PSP_SLIM_371" folder to the root of your memory stick.
    - Take a look at the file "cfe.config" under "ms0:/seplugins" to adjust to your needs.
    - Enable cfe_vsh.prx and cfe_game.prx under the m33 recovery menu.
    - Set cpu speed to default under the m33 recovery menu.
    - Push "Note + Volume Up" on the psp to see available commands.


    USAGE
    =====

    * To use usbhost iso streaming : You must set your "UMD Mode" to "OE isofs legacy"
    via the m33 recovery menu. After executing usbhostfs_pc on the computer,
    type "Note + L" on the psp. Note that you must create a folder ISO where you launch usbhostfs_pc
    and put your isos here.

    If you have some problems to load/save game while using usbhost iso redirection,
    you must copy the provided file "savedata_auto_dialog.prx", "savedata_plugin.prx"
    and "savedata_utility.prx" from the "save_modules" folder to your
    "flash0:/vsh/module" directory.


    * To record an in-game video on psp fat : On the computer, go to the folder
    "windows\remotejoy_gui" then launch "start.bat"

    On the PSP, load a game or homebrew, then push the capture button combo (default is NOTE/TRIANGLE).
    It seems the psp will hang if you do this before a game save is loaded.
    Best is to do this when you really are in game.

    Go back to the computer, in the SDL windows push "c" on your keyboard to start capturing.

    Each frames will be saved as bmp in the capture folder. Note that you must have a lot of free space on your hdd,
    and this one must work at a descent speed or you may loose some frames.

    Now you just have to encode the *.bmps using you favorite encoder (VirtualDub will do the job by loading the first bmp).

    * For other functions, press "Note + Volume Up" on the PSP to show available commands.


    KNOW BUGS
    =========

    - Waiting for reports.



    NEWS IN VERSION 1.7
    ===================

    - Configuration file is back.
    - Configuration file is simplified.
    - Ftpd server is back.
    - Option to load UsbMass storage at stratup is back.
    - Only one usbhost iso streaming method for now (no umd required).
    - On Screen Display seems to be fixed.
    - Video capture via the use of remotejoy should work on fat psp.

    TehSkeen is proud to present to you a new modification for the Nintendo GameCube. Codenamed "DVD Emulator v1.1" this small board housing a MicroSD slot replaces the proprietary DVD-ROM assembly and allows you to make use of the storage space and speed supported by the latest generation of SDHC cards.

    If you're a hardcore GameCube modder, a developer, Linux guru or just looking for a cheap entertainment center this "no solder" solution should be perfect for you. Note this is a work in progress design and will most likely change in appearance and functionality before it's final release.

    Initial Features

    * Plug n' Play (No Soldering Required)
    * MicroSD / Transflash (SDHC) Support
    * Up to 32 Gigabytes of Removable Storage
    * Load DOL/ELF Files Directly
    * Boot GameCube Backups Directly
    * Boot Legacy MultiGame Images Directly
    * Includes Custom Operating System


    What are your initial thoughts and impressions? Would you be interested in purchasing one of these if the price is right? What's the right price? How about winning one or more in a contest?

    DIGG THIS

    We arent interested in the warez side but the Homebrew side of things is very interesting, basically use the Gamecube as a 485MHZ Homebrew Console ...

    Things are falling from the sky, and it's up to you to pick them up and bin them, all the while trying to avoid being squashed by anvils. The idea for Cleangame comes from the bonus game from Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators on the Sega Mega Drive.

    Features
    Three difficulty levels
    Online scoreboards (including all time and recent)
    Automatic saving of replays for best scores
    Annoying bird sound effect
