Thebooboo posted this news:

This wasn't supposed to come out yet, I was hoping the next release would be a final, polished product. However, because YET AGAIN a new firmware upgrade has come out which messes up existing software (including the previous versions of this game) I had to bodge it all together quick like.

So anyway, there are less different kinds of ships in this one, but all of them apart from the bosses are now animated. It's a tiny bit faster too.

And it works properly under v 2.0.0 firmware. Maybe the next firmware upgrade will cause the GP2X to explode when to try to play this version of Level Shmup. Who knows?

It's not been approved for the file archive at present, but you can download from Tim's Recod Label here:

Turn on, tune in, shmup out.

Thanks to some members at the NeoGAF forums who have translated part of the podcast, we can bring you the first details on this title.

It will apparently take place in 1970, after the end of Metal Gear Solid 3. Big Boss will be the protagonist, and the story will deal with his founding of Foxhound. The graphical quality will, according to the podcast, be on par with the PS2 MGS titles. There will of course be less polygons in some models, but it will be done in such a way that it's not very noticeable to the player.

This will be an action title, but there will be some changes to the game's usual combat formula. The player will control troops. If troops die, they're gone for good; it seems death is an important part of this game. There will be multiple ways to win battles. At the start of each battle, you'll have the option of betting troops. If you decide to surrender your troops by using the white flag before the battle's over, you won't lose the troops you bet (it's unclear what the consequences will be, though). Also, this one's a little sketchy, but it seems the game will not feature Continues, so if you die, you're gone for good. This is an idea Kojima has mentioned wanting to try several times in the past, and it will likely be the topic of many arguments between MGS fans.

MGS for PSP will also feature multiplayer battles over Wi-Fi. ...

fangorn has released a new Neo Geo emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac, heres what he says:

Here's my NEOGEO emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac only. Runs at a fair speed and has extensive ATI graphics optimisations. Has its own memory manager so it doesn't need UDMH. It won't currently run the really big games but as the image shows below it does play that classic!

I was going to delay it until I could get the Cyclone 68000 ASM core running but I can't get the thing to work with NEOGEO. Once I get that running it will give it a big speed boost. 16bit games also aren't fully supported (freaky graphics) but most games are fine.

Last year, journalists who arrived early for the Electronic Entertainment Expo glimpsed the first clues that the event had a momentous announcement in store. Until then, Sony had maintained a monastic level of silence regarding its next-generation console. The device didn't have a name yet, and reps for the electronics giant shot down any inquiry about the unnamed device with the refrain "Sony has not made any announcements regarding PS3." (Sony used PS3 as shorthand in correspodence, but insisted it was not an official name.)

That official wall of silence showed its first cracks the weekend before E3. As a small army of roadies set up dozens of multimillion dollar displays inside the Los Angeles Convention Center, Sony was busy plastering the outside with massive billboards saying "Welcome Chang3." The words were written in the distinctive PlayStation 2 font, and were next to partially obscured recreations of the PlayStation's emblematic triangle-circle-square-X buttons.

Not only were the "Welcome Chang3" ads on the LACC's exterior, they also appeared inside bus shelters around the massive venue and, most eerily, on stickers stuck to the screens of televisions inside game journalists' hotel rooms.

Within days of the ads going up, Sony officially unveiled--and named--the PlayStation 3 in a press conference which remains controversial to this day. One year later, the Japanese electronics giant appears to be up to the same tricks. Once again, Sony has covered the area around the LACC with a series of ads. But while the "Chang3" ads were pretty obvious, the new campaign is taking a more subtle tack.

The most obvious ads are a series of massive billboards prominently visible from the LACC's main entrance. One shows a surrealistic take on a game of rock-paper-scissors--with the person making "scissors" actually having steel blades for fingers, and the person making "rock" actually having a stone fist.

Another ad, which covers one side of the neighboring Staples Center, shows a massive canyon with a person in the upper-right-hand corner who looks as though he's about to jump off a cliff. Two ads on nearby triangular kiosks show similar scenes of extreme outdoor activity: one of a woman traversing a series of gymnastic rings above a red-hot lava floe, another of someone playing on a swing--underneath a structure resembling the 630-foot St. Louis Arch.

All four of these ads have two things in common--they each have the words "Play Beyond" on the top and the PlayStation logo at the bottom. However, their meaning is less clear. The most prevalent theory is that they are the beginning of the ad campaign for the PlayStation 3's online service, since they appear to be deliberately one-upping Xbox 360's current tagline, "Jump In." Others have taken the rock-paper-scissors ad as a portent that the new PlayStation 3 controller--which will be unveiled on Monday--will have some kind of motion-sensing capability like the Nintendo Wii.

However, until there is official word, these theories are just that--theories. As of press time, Sony reps were unavailable for comment. However, their meaning should be more clear on Monday afternoon following Sony's pre-E3 press conference. ...

As E3 draws near, those of us who have been following Will Wright's newest brainchild, Spore, are abuzz with expectation. And lo! Someone posted to YouTube a video that shows 'unedited footage of Spore that will be going to TV networks covering E3 next week'. It includes a look at the overhauled creature editor, a first glimpse of the texturing tools, and various other exciting things that had not been shown this clearly in the early prototype seen at the 2005 GDC. One of them is the ambient music when the UFO visits different planets." It certainly looks like the game we saw last year, but take with a grain of salt just the same.
