MikeDX has posted this news at his site:

I thought I'd take 2 minutes from my lunchbreak to let you know what the progress is.

Last night I started recoding the internal engine of mame-psp along with the memory handling. Sadly this broke everything so I propose the following.

I'm going to make a release based on the 30 or so games that work "satisfactory" and then continue my work on the psp specific parts of the port. TMK has done a great job with MAME and I can only hope to improve things.

The 68000 core now compiles and runs correctly, and I successfully ran a neogeo title "League Bowling". Sadly it was less than 40% of the full speed, but it was playable. Maybe once the graphics/memory rewrite has taken place this could improve to 70 or 80% which would then become more realistic for a release title.

Watch this space. MAME-PSP with 30 near perfect games coming soon!

PSMonkey who released the first Nintendo 64 Emulator on the PSP and is still working busily at improving his from the Ground Up emulator for the PSP, heres what he posted yesterday:

ok here is the low down. I have a few things that require being fixed, a few things that would be nice & a few things that are not needed but would help. My goal is to get as many done by sometime next week & release what I have sometime durring E3 (may 9th - may 12th).

Here is the list in order of importance
* Needed *
1) Fix Textures
2) Add Tlb suport (mario needs it)
3) Fix Rsp Microcode bugs
4) Fix flickering by adding double buffering

* Would be nice *
5) Speed up memory reads/writes
6) Add suport for F3DEX2 microcode

* Not really needed *
7) Add microcode detection or contoll by ini
8) Save suport

Its great to have 2 N64 emulators at the same time being worked on for the PSP and the possibility of code sharing makes it very interesting. Remember that both projects deserve masses of praise

Nintendo Power, the official magazine of the video game giant Nintendo, revealed in its most recent issue that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was the topselling game for GameBoy Advanced in April.

This surprisingly high ranking comes as the Goblet video games turn six months old on May 10th. Thanks to Lucas for the tip! ...

Preview from Gamespot:

The titular hero of the game is Fred, a private investigator in the town of Hope Falls. There's bad business afoot in town, though, because a ruthless mob boss by the name of Pitt has moved in and bought up all the businesses in town, using them as fronts for an array of illegal activity. To power his empire, Pitt built a nuclear power plant, but he cut corners and all kinds of toxic waste began to poison the town. Eventually, all sorts of crazy mutants and zombies infested the place, turning the once quaint slice of Americana into a nightmarish landscape of death and destruction.

Representatives for Track7 Games recently informed the press that it would be showing off a playable version of Theseis, a next-generation adventure title that the company debuted for the first time at last year's show. Copied below is the official statement inviting media folks to check the game out:

"After the success of our first appearance in E3 last year, we have decided to return again and this time with a vengeance! Armed with the playable demo of our upcoming adventure game Theseis and a series of new and improved cinematics, our battle team awaits to draw you into the magical world of Greek Myth. This year we will be in a considerably larger space, giving us the opportunity not only to demonstrate Theseis in style, but also to have the room to get to know you better."


Scheduled for PC and next-generation consoles, Theseis follows paranormal journalists Andronicos and Pheve as they're sucked into a world that divides the line between reality and myth. Gameplay will be heavy on the adventure side and the storyline is what takes center stage. Multiple locations such as neo-classical fantasy settings and the depths of Hades will also be highlighted, and an emphasis on Greek mythology is also in the plan.

There's no word yet as to which version of Theseis will be shown in its playable form. ...
