Lik Sang sent me a Screen Protector that also changes the controls on the PSP, heres the info about it:



Protect your PSP from scratches and damage. Includes a raised analog stick for ease-of-use. Also includes a Mini D-Pad stick. Provides an effective Anti-Shock protection.

Heres an excerpt from the review

The cover has a much better analogue stick which to be honest ive left on and installation of the stick was really easy, basically it just pulls off. The screen itself is made of a good clear rigid plastic and you have the raised buttons on one side and the joystick on the other side, the device itself screws into the 2 holes on top of the PSP.

Thanks to Lik Sang for the review sample. ...

Neo MultiGame Loader by Davr

Finally, after much delay, I've gotten a working multigame loader for the Nintendo DS NeoFlash flashcart. Currently, it supports Nintendo DS homebrew in the .ds.gba format, and Gameboy Advance games in the .gba format. .nds homebrew files can easily be converted to .ds.gba.
The interface is Darkain's MultiNDS loader.

1. Copy 'neoboot.bin' to your Neo Power Kit folder. (Usually C:\NEO Power Kit\)
2. Put the N.P.K in "GBA Mode" by running "GBA_Mode.bat"
3. The first time, you must remove all the contents of the NeoFlash (in order to force the loader to be added). After this, you can add or remove single games without removing everything.
4. Add either Gameboy Advance games (.gba), or Nintendo DS Homebrew in the .ds.gba format in Neo Power Kit.
5. Turn on your DS. You must use either FlashME, PassME (or one of the clones, like Magic Key) or WifiME
6. When the menu loads, if you want to play a NDS Homebrew game, press 'A' to start the game.
If you want to play a Gameboy Advance game, press the 'GBA' button on the touchscreen.

NOTE: If the NDS header can not be found, the title used will be the title shown in the NPK when you are writing the game. You can change this title by double-clicking on it. (You can not change it after it has been written to the cart, without removing it first)

TODO:
1. Make NDS header/icon reading more accurate - only works on some homebrew currently
2. Add support for .nds without loaders
3. Make the GBA games play on the screen you chose in your firmware settings. Also turn off the other screen.

News from GIBiz

November 4th is the new European release date for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, with Rockstar's hugely-anticipated PSP-exclusive forced back seven days for reasons as-yet unconfirmed.

The game's UK distributor Gem confirmed the news to our sister site Eurogamer today, and admitted it had only just received confirmation itself this lunchtime. The game had originally been planned to ship this Friday, October 28th.

It is not yet known whether the European slip will have any effect on the game's US release date, which at the time of writing is expected to be tomorrow, the 25th October.

Should the game remain on track in the US for this week, it's fair to say that import retailers will be enjoying a bumper weekend selling what is one of the most in-demand games of the entire year on any platform. ...

Lik Sang have followed up the newspost i did this morning with one about the status of those who ordered the new 4Gig Hard Drive Addon for the PSP:

The Datel 4 GB Hard Drive has been taking the internet by storm for the last two weeks, and finally the wait is over. We have today received delivery of our first batch, which was massive enough to cover all reservations and still have stock for purchases to come in during the week. We hope to receive another second stock by next Monday to make sure sales can go on smoothly over next week as well. Please note though that Datel currently has to face unbelievable demand for a product not cheap to manufacture, and it is not sure if production will follow or if there will be supply shortages later down the road. After the first round on the internet, it's now up to Datel's international distributors and major retail chains to get served, and they are talking different numbers. In fact, the product has not even yet been launched stateside with even Codejunkies' US portal maintaining silence about the product for now (North American allocation is probably somewhere on a boat on the Atlantic ocean...) Anyway, that's enough of me speculating about future availability. At the time being, after shipping out all preorders (all of you are receiving tracking numbers by email while I am typing these lines), we have several hundreds of the popular hard drives left for instant ordering, and that's a celebration!

For those who just come back from the moon and have no clue what we are speaking about, the Max 4GB Hard Drive from Datel is delivering 4 Gigs of storage space for your PSP, through the Memory Stick slot. It comes bundled with Datel's X2 battery (3600 mAh) and both clip on each side of your portable system in some kind of balance and ergonomic way. The price of 199 US$ is very affordable for so much space (compared to Memory Sticks prices) and adds only little weight to your PlayStation Portable, as the combo weights less than 125 grams!
