Our buddy Spacy has updated his version of the popular VisualBoy Advance emulator. Here's what he had to say about this release :

Lately, I have been in the "mood" for coding, so I continued with VBA, anyway I dumped some crazy changes I made a while ago, because I totaly messes up the app back then xD

Now to the interesting part. pokemonhacker made some changes to the CVS code, and these come ON TOP of beta 3, so it is newer than that. I described those changes in the change log.

Remeber, this is a WIP (Work-In-Progress) Version, not a a stable one. Tell me, if you find some easy bugs in the application (that do not cover emulation itself xD)

Here are the changes in this WIP :
Switching the menu bar does not take ages in D3D full screen
Applied official CVS changes from January 19, 2006
- GB: fixed initial values for registers (tested on hardware)
- GB: added bugs on purpose that exist in hardware
- GB: added 'genericflashcard' option
- GB: added gbDrawLine()
- GB: fixed GB cheats compare code
- miscellaneous fixes
Code cleanup
Updated Minizip component to version 1.01e
New color themes only get applied if not in GBC/SGB mode

Welcome to the "ump-teenth" edition of the "PS3 might be delayed" saga, this time per Forbes Magazine. Regarding the issue of when the console will launch, the author writes: "Sony's last word on this remains spring 2006, but almost nobody believes it — at least not for the North American launch — because of a history of delays for previous products. Thanksgiving looks to be a better bet, at least to Evan Wilson, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities."

The article suggest that Sony staying mum on details only hurts the PS3's chances of success. In Sony's defense, doesn't staying quiet about a launch date and price keep its competitors on their toes while keeping consumers anxious for the product a la Apple Computer?

Watch out, iRiver, because your G10 portable gaming console has some stiff competition from a product with the very same name- and you haven't even released yours yet! The curiously-named Iwod G10 is a smallish Game Boy-looking PMP that performs all of the usual multimedia functions, but whose real draw is a bulit-in NES emulator. That's right, along with supporting your MP3, WMA, FLAC, MPEG-4, and AVI files, the Iwod also lets you load up NES ROMs on an SD card and get your Mario-on portable-style. Gameplay occurs on a 320 x 240 2.5-inch LCD or on a regular TV thanks to the video out jack, and battery life is said to be around 10 hours. $147 is all it takes to snatch one of these up- if you're in China, that is.

We're pretty sure that this won't work with the Engadget Harley, and it's certainly not as cool as the Vespa Puter, but for our more refined European audience we present the mobile Stereo System with iPod dock by Scooterworks. The system is actually a do-it-yourself kit for Vespa Stella and P-series models that includes an amp, two 4-inch Alpine speakers, replacement glovebox door with pre-cut holes, and a cradle/connector for hooking up your 'pod or other DAP. We're pretty sure that you could piece together your own scooter-mounted stereo for less than the $300 that this costs, but if you're really trying to save some loot, the not-recommended-by-us, cruising-around-with-headphones-on method still can't be beat.

dbeyer3069 has released Url2PSP, heres the details from his site:

This service is FREE and allows you to transfer URLs of files you would like to download to your PSP by entering them here. The PSP unit will connect to this web site, login using the MAC address of your PSP, transfer your list of desired file URLs and then download them.

The URLs you enter will be stored for up to 7 days in this website’s database. In the current version, you must remove the URLs from our database yourself, or wait for the system to purge them automatically after 7 days. In a future release, URL2PSP will automatically remove them for you. For simplicity and your privacy, we are asking for your MAC address instead of an email address.

NOTE: Although this web site only serves as a way to make downloading to the PSP easier and does not do any file transfers itself or store any files, please don’t use this service to aid in the downloading of any illegal or copyrighted materials. Your cooperation is appreciated.

To get started or to sign back in, please enter your MAC address. Your MAC address appears in the LOWER LEFT CORNER of the URL2PSP program screen as well as in the System Settings of the PSP.

Updates will be provided on a regular basis. Please check back for updated versions.
