PSmonkey has posted some interesting news on his forum here at DCEmu:

1-Doom64 actualy makes it ingame (shows the gun) yet 3d is not showing up well.
2-Penny Racers actualy makes it ingame yet 3d also is bad (polygons are going all over the place) (i think bad ucode/microcode).
3-Weltrix is now starting to work (shows the circles going across the screen from the intro).
4-Wonder Project J2 is now working yet it's just a 2d obscure game, 2d also is also showing up badly.

Namco's already given PSP owners the PlayStation staples of Ridge Racer and Tekken (Dark Resurrection is set for Japanese release in July, in case you haven't heard), and now it's turning to another one of its main franchises: Ace Combat. The PSP is getting a new entry in the Ace Combat series, tentatively titled Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception.


Ace Combat X promises everything you'd expect of Namco's flight simulation series, including detailed jet models, an original storyline told through CG, options for fine tuning your machines, and plenty of real world jets. Famitsu confirms four jets so far: the F-14D Super Tomcat, Tornado F3, F2-A and MIG-31 Foxhound.
Namco isn't skimping out on the modes of play for this title. Famitsu shares details on the game's campaign mode, where you play as a pilot in the Gryphus Squadron of the Federal Republic of Aurelia. Campaign mode makes use of the Strategic AI System, where the contents of a mission change based on the strategies that you select.

The game will also have a multiplayer mode for up to four players. In addition to a last-man standing dog fight mode, you'll be able to split into teams for cooperative combat. The multiplayer mode seems to be ad-hoc, which is to be expected of most Japanese-developed titles.

Ace Combat's PSP debut is set for the Fall in Japan. A US release has yet to be announced. ...

Glancing at Sony's latest release schedule it appears that Tekken fans will have to wait that little bit longer to play the PSP version of the iconic beat-em-up. Originally destined for released this Summer, the game (an adaptation of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection) will instead be published in September 2006.

Although initially confirmed for a Summer 2006 release, recent statements regarding the title have only listed Tekken: Dark Resurrection as coming 'later this year', so at least today's news makes the release more definite than before - despite the longer wait.

We'll have more shortly... ...

News from PSP3D

Skylark and FreePlay, from our forums, creators of the original font hack for the PSP, have released a new version of a tool which allows you to manage and install the font hack, convert TrueType fonts into a format readable by the PSP, set many font options including shape and shadow options, and generate all 16 font files, including bold and italic fonts. The tool does not change PSP icons or font colors, but is an absolute must-have for all font hack users, it makes the "font hacking" process much simpler and user-friendly. Not all fonts may be properly converted, and sometimes 1.5 firmware users may need to reset their settings, but other than that, it's a great release. Keep it up guys!

Seddy over at PS2Dev has asked for betatesters for his new game:

Hi Guys!

At the moment I'm developing my first PsP game:
PsP Soldier(very creative working name).

It is a 2d Shooter, seen from the side.

As you may see there aren't any enemys,
what is due to the fact that it is online playable
and nobody but me has the game.

So now I need some Betatesters to play with me!

What you need:
-a PsP 1.5
-a Wifi-Hotspot with a good signal
-time at: 14.04.2006 18:00(GMT+1)
-ICQ
-you must speak english(if you can read this you should be qualified) or german
This should be all.

It would be great if I find about 5 people who want to test my game.
If you are interested, post here!

Can you help then head on over to http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=5439 ...

The DS lite has had it’s first official advertisement in France. The ad carried a tagline of (loosely translated) “You will soon be able to open it”. There was no official date in the advertisement, but it is good to see Nintendo finally start to push the DS lite in other territories. Your guess is as good as mine as to when we will see any DS lite ads, or hear any talk from Nintendo on the subject. We will keep our eyes peeled and hope for some info before E3.

Genki will release a war strategy game called Daisenryaku DS: Great Strategy in Japan on May 25. Little is known about the game except that it will use the touch screen to give commands and is supposed to use a simplified system of menus to help attract new gamers to the series.

The game looks incredibly similar to Advance Wars: Dual Strike which was released last year. The most noticeable difference is that the battles take place in 3D. If this game turns out anything like Advance Wars then it will be the next must-have game for every strategy fan.
