According to the 360 flavoured version of Famitsu, Armored Core 4 will get its 360 release on the 22nd March next year. No details on any additional content as yet (bar the obvious inclusion of controller vibration and Xbox Live functionality) but a straight port of the PS3 version wouldn't be too shabby at all.

Having finished the singeplayer of the PS3 version, S Ranks, Arena and all, one small suggestion to those attentive ears at From Software would be the inclusion of an "easy" mode (in addition to the normal and hard that already exist). Otherwise many who haven't played the previous games may find the current difficulty erring on the side of fascistic. ...

While the verdict might be out on an eventual sales winner between the three new-gen consoles, it's hard to argue with one stat: the PS3 is a shoo-in for the coveted "Console Launch Related Crime" award. The latest in crime spree exploits is a trio of UPS employees who were working the night shift around PS3 launch time, and managed to swap shipping labels on $19,000 worth of PS3s -- around 20 systems and 24 SIXAXIS controllers. These three grinches, 25-year-old Sean Weber, 37-year-old Norbert Joseph and 29-year-old Jasel Bolden, working from a New Orleans shipping center, forwarded the PS3s to their day job at Andrews Sport Company Inc., but couldn't escape the long arm of the law. Chalk one more up for justice. Oh, and by the way guys, if you get out of the clink before New Years, would you mind "diverting" a few PS3s our way? We accept Wiis too. You know, in the spirit of giving.

new release via weltall

heres what weltall had to say-

this version of cwcheat was modded to load correctly on the POPS mode which is were the sony psx emulator works so you can cheat your games by just taking the codes for the old psx and by doing some little modification (nothing difficult just a sum with a static value ).
included you can find a guide to converting them and some code examples for xenogears, crash, biohazard and arc the lad.
So enjoy cwcheat on your favorite psx game

NOTE: it's only for 3.02 OE as the psx emulator can't be used with devhook

Read Me

cwcheat for Dark Alex 3.02 OE - A custum firmware.
this is a cwcheat built to work fine with 3.02OE in pops mode (SONY PSX EMULATOR)

it has all the function of cwcheat 0.1.6.
this means that you can:
-cheat in your games (the db and the config are loaded from ms0,
if you don't have them it will still work only it will go for default
config and you will have an "empty" db)
the ID of the pops emulator is POPS.
-CHANGE THE CPU CLOCK IN GAME WHEN YOU WANT IT WITHOUT REFLASHING EVERYTIME!!
this means that you can put a default cpu/bus clock that will be set when
loading in the config file (change the cpu clock in the menu and save the
config in the config menu) but also you will be able to change in every moment
and without touching the flash the cpu/bus frequence!!
-my screenshootbmp mod which uses volatile ram to do the screenshoot stopping the
game for less than one sec!
-standard screenshoot version
-brightness changer which uses the screen button (what you use to change brightness normaly)
it works up to the 4^ level

There is another update for the PC Software for DS Link.

(2006-12-26)
DSLink pc software v1.50

1.Fix all the games of which savers are disable, these are:
　　0578　　Jan Sangoku Musou
　　0649　　Edamoto Naomi no Shiawase Kitchen
　　0663　　Digimon World DS
　　0696　　Jump Ultimate Stars
　　0727　　Tank Beat
　　0775　　Heisei Kyouiku Iinkai DS

　Additionally, DSLink will automatically identify the saver type, without
trying to choose type to save the game manually. But there are some little
errors of automatically identifying which causes the saver error, so the
coming software will enhance the function of identifying saver type
automatically, to avoid the saving failure when verifying the errors of the
new games.

2. Chinese and English game name libraries are updated to NDS:0783,GBA:2638

　Simplified Chinese & English game name library:
DSLink software game name library, kernel game names

　Note: Please manually delete the romname.lst of the directory of system_ inthe TF card, DSLink software will automatically install the new romname.lstwhile add ROM.

　0534,0535 need to be soft-reset one time while playing the game, and they
will not hang up the next time when user re-enter the game. ...

NJ has once again updated the sources to his CPS1 and CPS2 emulators for PSP. They are now both up to version 1.66.

No more details known, sources at NJs site here --> http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/index.html ...
