A fellow who calls himself Uze has created a new 8-bit open-source console called the Uzebox. It's a hobby console, composed of easy to find components, but with some neat elements to it, like direct midi-in for sound composition, and the ability to program in C, rather than assembler, which many of these hobby consoles use (not making a value judgment here, it's just different is all). The system can display 256 colors, 240x224 resolution, overclocked speed of 28.61818Mhz, and has a robust 4k of ram. Input is classic NES controllers, and the sound is a bit NES-like as well.

The main benefits of the system are best explained by the creator, via a youtube comment: "There's no external memory, everything (code, kernelm, gfx, music) is in a single hex file flashed on the main chip. And thats the goal, only one thing to compile and flash. Since the kernel is arranged as a library, its easy to just include it in the compilation along your game." Check out a video of a game (Tetris clone) running here. Then a demo of the midi capabilities here. Seems like a really neat project for those with the skills to use it! Also check out the nifty looking case idea he has for it. Thanks to Jeff for the link!

Sony's Martijn Van der Meulen gave an update on the progress of Sony's Playstation "Home" environment, telling IGN there is "a 100 percent guarantee that Home will be released by the end of this calendar year." Originally intended for use on the PS2, the release was pushed back several times as Sony sought to improve the concept. One thing Sony has been trying to accomplish is making the game "safe" and accessible to kids while maintaining an adults-only area. They maintain that it is not a social network, but rather a "visual representation of the PlayStation community."

PSP Pandora Deluxe v1.2
Created by DJB on 26th August 2008


DOWNLOAD: Rapidshare - Meagupload

Release Notes:
Here you have it, an all-in-one solution for your Pandora Needs.

This program is designed to prepare your PSP Memory Stick to be used with the Pandora Battery. Unfortunately this program can not change your Battery to Pandora, however it will copy programs to the Memory Stick in order for you to do this yourself.

The main reason of this version was to fix some problems with occured when trying to use the 1.50 Downgrader and/or Despertar Cementerio v3+v4. Now, if you try and install the 1.50 Downgrader, it will not let you install Despertar Cementerio v3-v5, the ELF menu, or the Pandora Support Tools (this is because of some imcompatibility issues). However you may now Install Despertar Cementerio v3+v4 together at the same time, without any collisions. Also, the button which you would usually set for the ELF Menu can be used to boot the 1.50 Downgrader (when the 1.50 Downgrader is installed.)

I've also included the M33 1.50 Kernel Addons for all the Despertar Cementerio installations. So now if you select the "Install M33 1.50 Addons" option, the program will install the 1.50 Kernel Addons as shown in the list below:

- If you install Despertar Cementerio v3 it will install the 3.71 M33 1.50 Addon.
- If you install Despertar Cementerio v4 it will install the 3.80 M33 1.50 Addon.
- If you install Despertar Cementerio v5 it will install the 3.90 M33 1.50 Addon.
- If you install Despertar Cementerio v7 it will install the 4.01 M33 1.50 Addon.

I hope you enjoy this new release...
