    This was released on 240507, but hasn't been posted about here. Even QJ hasn't posted about it, even though it was released on their forums.

    In short, this is a program that lets you display the PSP's screen in real-time on your PC monitor by sending the signals through the USB cable. It was designed for 3.40 OE-A, which it works flawlessly on, but I can also confirm it works great on M33 3.52-2 (Load VSH doesn't work, but it's not that important). Something unique for M33 firmwares, is that you can also use the plugins in 1.50 kernel homebrew!

    You can also control the game from a PC keyboard or gamepad. This works without any noticeable delay.

    Overall, a great application if you want, for example, to record to video while playing a game, and if you want to play using another gamepad than the PSP's.

    Read the readme for installation and usage on 3.40 OE-A.

    For M33 firmwares (may also prove useful to other users):
    1. First, copy and boot up the PSPLink application as in the readme. Make sure the USB cable is plugged in, and install the drivers when prompted by directing to the drivers somewhere in this package.
    2. Copy and enable the two plugins mentioned in the readme in GAME and/or GAME150. Don't start Remotejoy yet.
    3. Now start the game/application on your PSP.
    4. When it has booted, start up Remotejoy GUI on the PC. USBHostFS will automatically start.
    5. Click With FPS or Without FPS under Window or Full Screen to start the controlling/displaying application.
    6. Press F3 on your keyboard to stream the PSP's screen to the PC's.
    7. Press F11 to take a screenshot.


    OE users can run the PSPLink program on their PSP (disable the plugins first!) to use the Load VSH which lets them boot up the XMB with USBHostFS running to stream their display from there also. Note that loading any games or applications then will crash the PSP. The same goes for listing the video files.

    NB! The PSP may lock-up when entering Save screen in some games. Press F5 on the PC to stop the video stream temporarily while you save. Press it again to resume streaming.

    Another bug is that the PSP will always crash when trying to exit to the XMB from a game with the plugins enabled, forcing you to power the PSP off the hard way (holding the power switch for 10 seconds).


    Here's the post from DeMoN X himself:

    Warning! Some Anti-Virus software, Mcafee and others may be detecting this software as a virus. This is NOT a virus. This is false detection of CMDOW's window hiding capabilities. The maker of CMDOW has a statement on his website.

    Changes for V1.52 :

    * Driver installation for X86. READ THE "HOW TO INSTALL" FIRST
    * New batch files for manual installation
    * Added "How to install" to app.
    * Another "Feature"

    Changes for V1.51 :

    * Added full credits to TyRaNiD 2k6 for Remotejoy SDL and Schrade for batch files and script files, tutorial, and compiled binaries.
    * Added killall batch to MyBase.Load
    * Accurate process checking of USBHost FS
    * Added mode menu, Not completed.

    Info :

    .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed.
    This is Version 1.52, 24/05/07.

    MCV's prediction that Sony may be soon unveiling support for terrestrial digital broadcast service Freeview for the PLAYSTATION 3 is looking spot on following comments from Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand boss Warwick Light. He told Kiwi outlet The Press that the company is "hoping next year... to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder." His timeframe? First quarter of 2008, alongside the New Zealand launch of Freeview.

    Freeview is already available to fans of receiving television signals in the UK, broadcasting dozens of television and radio channels. It's possible that the PS3 TV tuner could simply be added via one of the console's four USB ports and that larger hard drive options may coincide with the product announcement.

    But I'm just riffing here. I'm sure we'll know by Games Convention in August if this whole thing pans out.

    The future according to Sony [The Press]

    Via StrmnNrmn's blog.

    A newly posted blog update from StrmnNrmn talks about the CPU speed of Daedalus, which he gets a lot of questions about.

    On startup Daedalus increases the default clock frequency of the PSP's cpu from 222MHz to 333MHz for a 'free' 50% speedup. I use 'free' in quotes because this comes at the expense of drawing more power so the battery runs out of charge faster.

    I've been asked if I'm going to support 333MHz many times, so I wanted to put this question to rest for once and for all. The answer is yes - I believe this has been the case since R1

    Let's hope people stop nagging him about it, right? ...

    Via PSU.

    We all want to see the future: flying cars, hectic air routes, and what not. Luckily, now we can through the journey in Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Our very sly Lombax, Ratchet, and our lovely robot assistant, Clank, are in the future's future by some crazy incident, and are wreaking havoc for their enemies.

    The main mission starts off with our furry Lombax and hard-metal Clank, attached to Ratchet’s back, in their Pixar-like graphical state, approaching the main Metropolis, filled with bustling activity and future wonders. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the aqua-critter Drophoyd’s gracefully approach our main heroes to bash their faces in.



    As the enemies approach our protagonists, the player can care less. As soon as the game starts up, no one can help but be in awe of not only the detail and scope present in the environment, but also the magnificent detail on the character models themselves. All of these features combined give the game a feeling reminiscent from only those in Disney Pixar films. Contributing to all of this, the fluidity of the animation system coupled with the game’s custom engine, allows R&C Future: Tools of Destruction to take us beyond our own imaginations, and make our vision of the future a vivid reality.

    Now let’s snap back to reality for a minute, and take our details off the eye blistering realism of the graphics, and onto the true action: gameplay. So, the mysterious enemies approach to attack us full force---luckily for us, we have a couple of weapons in our arsenal. For one weapon, we have a typical combustor. Press the shoot button towards the enemy’s general direction, and be amazed as all the fine details of every single piece they’re built from burst into the air in all their glory. Even though this blow up sequence lasts for a total of 3 seconds, if you pay close attention, you can experience the marvel in slow motion with your own eyes---make its ray of sun last a lifetime. For a more pacifistic approach, go ahead and throw the disco ball. But don’t expect to remain the gentle Lombax that you are. You’ll eventually have to destroy them---which no one will mind once stunning beauty is seen in the surprised reactions of the AI getting hit while they were happily dancing.



    For more destruction, you can throw a regular grenade or a transmorpher grenade that turn aggressive enemies into penguins, but Insomniac revealed to us that there will be other animals the enemies can transform into as well, such as rabbits.

    Level-wise, the hands on preview displayed different specialized areas of the Metropolis. Some that were blown up to give an example of 'free fall', an amazing gameplay interface which makes use of the SIXAXIS motion control. Another area indicated the luscious and colorful details of the uniquely stylistic foliage--- don’t be fooled if you hear the word 'cartoony' - it would be a serious misconception.



    Insomniac’s title is definitely forming into something no one has ever experienced in a game. Not only does it make us experience something brand new and unique, but Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction makes our ideas of what the future will be like seem dull. In fact, it revitalizes our image with vivacious colors, controls, gameplay, graphics, and as a result, makes a much more vivid incomprehensible display of the future, a true and sparkling reality.

    Also see these ultra-resolutioned screens, probably for posters and press.









    The release date is, according to IGN, 2 October 2007 in the US, and Q3 2007 in Europe. ...

    A Heavenly Sword demo will be available to download from the PlayStation Network this Thursday, Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer this morning.

    It will give PS3 owners a chance to try out the hugely anticipated action game from Ninja Theory ahead of it's projected September release date.

    Heavenly Sword is pitched one of Sony's biggest games of the year, and features talent like Andy "Gollum" Serkis and WETA Studios - the visual flare behind Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings.

    We recently had the chance to get to grips with the title and see how it was shaping up. Head over to our first impressions of Heavenly Sword to find out what the fuss is about.

    Looking forward to it?

    The M33 team has released another patch to its brilliant custom firmware. The list of changes and fixes this time is big:


    This update includes previous updates, as well as:
    * Improvements in M33 NO-UMD driver (yeah, we know that sony one is better, but we still are working
    on our own driver to make it perfect as a challenge). The improvements:
    - Fixed a bug that caused incompatibility with ATV Offroad Fury Pro, Steel Horizons,
    Tony Hawk's Project 8 and probably more games.
    - Speed loading has improved, now M33 driver imitates better Sony one.

    * Automatic display fix for ta-082+ with brightness problems in 1.50 kernel.
    - M33 will autodetect ta-082+ with brightness problems, and will correct brightness properly.

    * Wlan fix is now done differently, patch is done in 3.51 kernel before going to 1.50 one.
    - For those that don't read well the readmes: we never would include in our files a sony prx!
    The fix was and is done simply with code. The 3.40 mention was to notice that the problem
    was not a M33 bug, but a problem caused by Sony.

    * 4th level of brightness enabled on 1.5 kernel too now.

    * An option has been added to recovery, "Hard Reset on 1.50 homebrew". Use this, only if the wifi
    fix doesn't work with your psp still. It makes homebrew boot a bit slower.

    - M33
