Passionfools Design has just released CubicMan 0.0.2.
New in this version:
- Progress saving and loading.
- All new UI and texture.
- 15 new levels + enhancement of those old 8 levels (effectively 23 new levels).
- Music and sound effects.
- New triggers: bridges, thin tile and teleporter.
- New control mode using Accelerometer.
With accelerometer mode, you can roll the cube by tilting. If you set "Quick Move" on, the cube will keep rolling as long as the device is tilted (be careful, don't roll over the edge^^). When the "Quick Move" is off, the cube will roll just once with each tilting.
Also, unlike in "swipe" mode that the screen orientation is adjusted automatically, you have to select to play in either "Portrait" or "Landscape" when using the accelerometer mode.
CubicMan is available on Installer thru modmyifone's repository: at http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml

Ever wanted to be able to play your PSP games on your television, but couldn't because you don't own an HD TV?? Well now you can, thanks to this nifty application, made by OldPrisoneR. (must own a Slim and Lite PSP)
What does this program do?
Its a plug-in that makes it possible to play with your PSP Slim and Lite by posting the image on a TV via the composite cable (not HD TV). Attention, the plug-in is under development and the version presented here is a beta.
With which firmwares is it compatible?
It was tested by the author on custom Firmware 3.80 m33-5 but it functions with Custom Firmwares higher. We tested it successfully on Custom firmware 3.93.
Bugs Known: Known Bugs:
*Warriors Orochi: it is necessary to activate the plug-in after having passed the loading screen if not then it will freeze the game.
*Silent Hill Origins: "specks" appear sometimes.
*Killzone: Makes noises on the images.
In all the cases, the author recommends to activate the plug-in only after finishing the loading of the game and after skipping the intro videos of the game. If there are problems with certain images, try pressing the "Home" button several times.
How to install this?
*Download “FUSED” for PSP
*Connect your PSP to your computer via USB
*Put your PSP in “USB Mode”
*Extract the files
*Choose your PSP drive
*Copy the "seplugins" folder to your memory stick's root
*Open the file GAME.txt and add the following line:
ms0:/seplugins/FuSa.prx
*Go into recovery and enable the plugin
How to activate it?
Once you have your game started, press the volume buttons "+" and "-" and hold for a small moment. This activates the menu:
*Composite cable inserted: Indicates if a cable is connected
*Disable Plug-in: Disables the plug-in
*Switch to TV: switch between TV and LCD (you can also press the SCREEN button to switch to LCD)
*Speed Booster []: Enables SPEED BOOSTER feature (see more info below)
*Grab VRAM to VRAM.bin: recover the contents of the VRAM to write it in a VRAM.bin file (which can be explored with the suitable tool) - a function for the devs.
*EXIT MENU: Exit the menu (you can also press circle to exit immediately)
COMPATIBLE GAMES:
Commercial Games:
Twisted Metal
Echochrome
DownStream Panic
FlatOut
God of War: Chains of Olympus
Silent Hill: Origins
Homebrew:
NesterJ
DGEN (You must turn vsync off in it's settings)
FuSa has a feature called "SPEED BOOSTER", which makes games to work by speeding them up.You can enable it in MENU, but you will not be able to disable it.
This mode makes it possible to play the following games:
Patapon
Pursuit Force
Daxter
Off Road
Game(s) that do not work with "SPEED BOOSTER":
Warriors Orochi
Quite a bit of info, huh? Ready to try the app yourself, then click on the download below. Enjoy!

Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.
Grand Theft Auto IV is released this week and steals the spotlight. Test out your own limits as well as that of your next generation consoles. Become Niko Bellic and roam the streets of Liberty city to search for the lost American dream through constant action and gun fights. Please check out this special news entry for a full reportage on the game and its shipping schedule.
Persona 3 FES proves that school is not very much safer than Liberty City. With monsters roaming about ready to prey on the unaware, it is up to the hero, his persona and the "special extracurricular activities club" members to prevent these monsters, called Shadows from overtaking the city.
The World Ends With You does not feature a sanctuary free of conflicts either. The weight of the world rests on the teenager Neku's shoulders. He has to solve riddles and beat the fatal game in seven days, or else the world will perish with him.
Explore the grand but dangerous fields of Final Fantasy XI: The Vana'diel Collection and assume a persona of your choice. This multi-platform online RPG constructs a mythical world with magical elements of its own. Learn the history of this parallel universe and join all the others who are absorbed in this massively scaled RPG.
After all the fun of challenging death, monsters and getting lost in the wild, try something less lethal but just as exciting. NBA Ballers: Chosen One is released for both Xbox360™ and PlayStation3™.

Welcome to this week's toys update. Check out the wonderful collectibles we just got in stock and all the new products made available for preorder.
As toys, especially collectible ones, are produced in limited numbers and are often sold out prior to the actual release date, we strongly recommend to preorder the figures of your desire as early as possible.
A figure of Kousaka Tamaki from To Hearts is chosen as the bargain of the week and the cover girl of this news update. Tamaki is one of the most popular girls both within and outside the famous dating game. She is constantly seen as being surrounded by a group of followers from her school in the game and have a large fanbase in the gamers community.
Her confidence and maturity are one of the few reasons aside from beauty that contributes to her tremendous appeal, and her figure designer HIDE decides to focus on these aspects.
By sculpting her in an alluring pose he portrays her glamour, and by putting details into her eyes that seems to stare straight into your own, he brings out her confidence. To soften the whole package, the designer added layers of frills to her bikini to capture her innocent charm.
Tamaki, in her frilly bikini, is now sold at a bargain price of US$ 19.90 only and the maximum purchase is limited to 1 piece per customer. As usually, this weekly special is valid for exactly 1 week (if not sold out earlier).
Super deformed figures of characters from one of the hottest sci-fi movies came out. The Kubrick series consist of the major characters from Star Wars - The Phantom Menace. After watching their slick actions on screen, it's an enjoyable experience to play with them in the palm of your hand. May the force be with you!
As an aspiring idol, it is important for Amami Haruka to be able to move freely, naturally and gracefully. By having all the minute joints, a special feature of Frauline Revoltech figures, installed into her tiny body, she can bend and twist into the most photogenic of postures.
She comes with a set of accessories that goes with her gothic princess style: butterfly wings, bracelets, anklets, a cat's tail and a tiara. These accessories can be assembled with other characters in the series, so feel free to design the best outfit for your idols.
Quite a lot of interesting preorders are opened this week. One of the newer characters from the To Heart2 universe are joining in the league of collectible figures. Kusugawa Sarara is an eccentric girl hidden behind her French doll facade. Her maker Shiketa Udonko has brought her to life by crafting out her blank expression and the distant look in her eyes.
Naomi, drawn by the renowned figure designer Yamashita Shunya and crafted by Ogasawara Taketo, depicts a woman torn between the two Yakuza codes of conduct, giri and ninjo. While giri demands that she acts like one of the tough men in her gang, she is entitled to enjoy her priviledges as a woman under the ninjo code. By blending both masculine and feminine elements together, Naomi is definitely a collector's item.

David Cole with DFC Intelligence is betting that PlayStation-loving Europe will soon be switching its loyalty to Nintendo platforms, with the Xbox 360 being left in the wakes of both rivals.
What will Nintendo's success mean for the other platforms? It is important to note that DFC Intelligence is also forecasting strong sales for the PlayStation 3 and, to a lesser extent the Xbox 360. This generation is not expected to be a case of one platform dominating like the PS2 did in the last generation. One factor that will increasingly take hold in Europe is what DFC has labeled the "second car in the garage." In the U.S. over 40 percent of game households now buy two or more of the current console systems. By comparison, Europe has largely been a one car in the garage market. In recent years, that car has been the PlayStation 2. As the game market in Europe grows we expect to see more consumers buying two or more systems (although not to the extent of the U.S.) The Wii is forecasted to be the market leader, but with a market share less than 50 percent compared with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Consumers will still need to play World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto IV, games on the go and so on. No one system satisfies all the diverse tastes in today's market.
It appears inevitable that, for the PlayStation 3, Sony will lose a big chunk of its PS2 user base. However, in the long-term, DFC Intelligence believes the PlayStation 3 will be a fairly strong competitor. The biggest loser in Europe is likely to be the Xbox 360. Microsoft has seen its self-proclaimed fall 2007 "greatest holiday lineup in videogame history" come and go with very little impact on the Xbox 360's position in the European marketplace. To spur sales in 2008, Microsoft is being forced to lower the price of a system that is starting to look like a senior citizen as it approaches its third birthday.
The Xbox systems have enjoyed much greater success in the U.K. than in continental Europe. In large part this is because the U.K. does not have a strong PC game market like those found in other parts of Europe. However, as in the U.S. and Australia where intense violence is more popular with gamers, U.K. gamers enjoy first-person shooter (FPS) titles and the Xbox 360 is clearly the leader in that category. Unfortunately, outside of the U.K., DFC sees the Xbox 360 continuing to struggle in Europe.

a curious press release from a nottingham company, personally i live in nottingham and havent heard of them :P
Atlantic Link's ground breaking rapid e-learning authoring tools have taken another significant leap forward. The software now allows courses to be designed specifically for the Sony PSP Slim & Lite....
The courses can be deployed locally (from the Memory Stick Duo) or from the Internet, giving users a true mobile learning experience. They also look superb, because all the functionality of Atlantic Link’s rapid e-learning authoring tools can be applied to small screen format.
MD Mike Alcock explains, "The traditional problem with courses on the PSP is that they’ve never been designed for the smaller screen and are often shrunken versions of courses designed for viewing on PC screens. To tackle this we have enabled our software to author at the native screen size of a Sony PSP. Because the output of Content Point is Flash, the courses still contain all of the high quality and interactivity of Atlantic Link’s usual output, but with the benefit of small screen design. Quizzes, games, activities, audio, video and Flash animations are all supported, giving users the richest possible course experience." Authoring is undertaken with the same software that is already delivering the fastest e-learning authoring for major companies across the globe.
Mike Alcock continues, “The potential applications for this technology are huge and almost mind-boggling. Tourist guides, language training, product training and updates, maintenance guides and training, medical training, interactive museum guides, schools training, the list is almost endless. With the government focusing on ‘personalised learning’, we believe that we are at the forefront of the next wave of e-learning. Because our rapid e-learning software is so incredibly quick at producing courses, content producers now have a method for producing huge volumes of highly interactive content for the Sony PSP in hours instead of weeks. Needless to say we are enormously excited about the possibilities."
If you have a PSP Slim & Lite (or just want to look at a course), view a sample of Atlantic Link's PSP e-learning at the link below.

Slicer4ever steps his game up with Pixel Attack version 0.3.
Allow me to play it out for you… You’re Jack Mason (a pixel), who must survive by running (maneuvering) around the forest/bush (screen) while avoiding (dodging) Thomas Burns, Doc Hawkins, and Walter Cole (enemy circles) from hunting and killing your sorry ass. That’s my analogy dating back to ‘94.
Although packing a “not 1.5″ directory, Pixel Attack 0.3 — in its current state — is not compatible with the Slim. MP3 support requires kernel mode access; you will need the 1.50 kernel add on for Phat only. Dark_AleX’s Time Machine may work for you, but I’ve yet to try.
Pixel Attack 0.3 changes:
added mp3 support directly from music folder
added more background effects
rainbow effect
life ball (increases life)
psp-hacks splash screen
