We've always enjoyed SNK Playmore's long-running fighting franchise (the aptly named King of Fighters series), though we often find ourselves stuck with an inexplicable desire to see the series' adroit brawlers fly effortlessly through the air while shooting bullets out of their hands.
... No, you know what? We're not going to lie to you. We've never thought that. Nobody has, ever. Until now, that is -- Famitsu recently outed SNK's latest, and arguably most bizarre project ever: An Xbox Live Arcade shoot 'em up based in the KoF universe, tentatively titled King of Fighters Sky Stage. Based on the early screenshots we've seen, we're still trying to decide whether the game is going to be awesome or too awesome. Maybe you haven't heard: People. Flying. Shooting. Bullets. Out. Of. Hands. ...by Published on April 21st, 2009 22:51

I sit down to write this post with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I have to congratulate MaTiAz and Davee for their recent excellent work on the TIFF exploit and HEN. Their project is exciting, and I'm sure we're all waiting with excitement for their upcoming release. It shows that the PSP homebrew scene has not been defeated by Sony's latest efforts, and long may the spirit of competition continue. It's also nice to see so much cooperation within the community. Great stuff.
But on the other hand, this obsoletes the work we were doing on an eLoader for the GripShift exploit - there's no need for it, since the TIFF exploit should work on all PSPs, with or without the game. We've worked hard on it, but so many busy events in our lives (parenting, moving house, pressures of work in the current economic climate) have meant that progress was slower than we'd hoped.
So this will be the first and only project that we've announced but not followed up on. For that, we're sorry - but at least it's been obsoleted for the best of reasons.

News/release from Alex e
A BIG THANKS TO ANGELSNIPER45 FOR TESTING THIS APP ON HIS SLIM.
Tested on 5.00m33-4 on a psp phat and a psp slim (2001) with 5.00m33-6
This application removes and back-ups certain files in flash0. currently, it installs, unistall the location free player, the dic folder, backs-up and restores act.dat from flash 2 and unistalls the
camera feature located in the xmb thus
saving you approximatley 3mb so far.
Installation
copy Flash Spacer V2.7 to PSP/GAME
this will work in any of the game folders and will now create and restore back-ups.
this is CONFIRMED and tested to run the slim, but with any programs that access the flash beware.
Controls:
(x) - Back-Ups the location free player and them removes it.
[R]- Restores the Loaction Free Player Back-Up.
/\ - Backs-Up the dic folder and then removes it.
[L] - Restores a backed up dic folder
[] - removes the camera function, no back up is made
O - backs-up act.dat (PSN info)
Select - Restores the act.dat
[Start] - Exits
known bugs:
this will not back-up the camera_plugin. im working on a fix
if a back-up is non-existant, Flash spacer will act if one is present and continue with commands. nothing will be flashed
If you want to use the act.dat functions place iop.prx in the same directory as the eboot.
Further info:
in future releases, you may end up with a semi-brick by flashing a corrupt file.
if this happens, go to the recovery menu, retrieve the back-up from ms0:/PSP/GAME/Flash Spacer V2.5/Back-Up
and restore it to its original location in the flash.
Transferring back-ups from previos releases:
if you have made backs-ups from previous flash spacers, you can transfer the back-ups.
this is done by:
1) making a Back-Up folder in the folder as the EBOOT.PBP
2)inside the Back-Up folder make a further folder, depending on which you want to restore.
if you want to restore the Location Free Player, make a folder called LFP and place the back-up FILES inside it.
Restoring functions if back ups are lost.
you will either have to dump a the fw you are running and restore them manually
or you will have to up/down grade the fw.
Changelog:
added a PSN info back-up and restorer. <----useful if you flash your psp, you vcan restore the settings back.

In addition, we are pleased to announce that Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) gives new meaning to "waste management" with a brand new puzzle game that combines strategy and frenzied action with … well, garbage. Taking the puzzle video game genre one step further, Trash Panic™ is the newest PS3 downloadable exclusive that tasks players to compact as much garbage into a trash can before it overflows, and in the most "eco-friendly" way as possible. Trash Panic will be released later this Spring on PlayStation Network.

KOEI, recognized worldwide as the premier brand of strategy and action games, today announced that DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce for PSP? (PlayStation?Portable) system has achieved "gold" status. The highly-anticipated action game will be available at retailers beginning the week of April 28, 2009.
DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce delivers the newest and most revolutionary combat system to the franchise, with never-before-seen aerial fighting techniques, the ability to wield secondary weapons, and most of all the incredible "Fury" that transforms each fighter into a supernatural warrior.
Gamers can get a sneak peak at all of the furious action by downloading a free demo and trailer today, from PlayStation?Network.
Consumers who don't want to miss out on this year's hottest multi-player experience can pre-order the game today at: Amazon.com, Game Crazy, GameFly, and GameStop.
About DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce
The multi-million selling Dynasty Warriors? series has long been renowned for pitting a lone warrior against an army of thousands. The highly-anticipated action game reinvents the Dynasty Warriors brand of action into this year's hottest multi-player experience on the PSP system.
DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce is a game unlike any other in the series. For the first time, up to four friends can join together to form a "Strikeforce." As a team, players will travel to different towns, embark on quests, and use coordinated assaults to conquer heavily-armed fortresses and colossal beasts.
End of level bosses await intrepid heroes with a multitude of guises and deadly attacks while enemies, spread throughout each stage, possess much greater levels of intelligence and more powerful attacks. So now more than ever it's imperative that players work together as a team and find ways to overcome the challenges and obstacles that stand between them and victory.
New "Fury" transformations give characters even greater supernatural abilities and attacks, including lightning fast speed and the ability to fly. Warriors can now take to the skies and face off against their foes in spectacular aerial combat.
Later this year, KOEI will offer new content for DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce. Additional quests will be available free-of-charge, exclusively through PlayStation?Store.
DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce is developed by Omega Force and is for 1 to 4 players. Multi-player play is via ad-hoc mode only. This game is rated "T" (Teen- Violence) by the ESRB. For more information, visit www.koei.com/strikeforce. ...by Published on April 21st, 2009 22:31

As we saw yesterday, this new ofw has been finally released, with those subfolders and some fixes that were expected, to be honest....
Between those fixes it’s the recent TIFF exploit that was found and that it’s still under development, and it seems that there are also some bugs, like one that literally ****s the standby.
What do you think about those “new features”? Have you got any bugs like those or can confirm the standby one?
Edit: Seems like this new update has the encryption tables changed (at least the 1g one), as it can’t be decrypted with latest psardumper. Anyway, won’t be probably a problem.

Not even the craziest morning commute can compare to the outrageous behind-the-wheel action of Excitebots™: Trick Racing, launching today exclusively for Nintendo's top-selling Wii™ console. Combining high-speed racing thrills with gravity-defying stunts and support for online action via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, the game pushes the full-throttle fun of the Excite franchise into the red.
Expanding upon the fast-paced action of Excite Truck™, Excitebots™: Trick Racing puts players in command of wild robotic vehicles styled to look like animals and insects. Players must drive, sprint and fly around the track to earn stars, performing wild stunts to boost their score while racing with an incredible burst of speed. The game puts the built-in wireless features of the Wii system to use, allowing as many as six friends to compete online using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can also trade ghost data via WiiConnect24™ and challenge each other to outdo their most dazzling tricks. Excitebots: Trick Racing uses the Wii Wheel™ accessory to let drivers pick up and play with ease, combining familiar steering motions with unique special moves such as turbo bursts, power slides and huge jumps.
As if tearing around the track wasn't entertaining enough, Excitebots: Trick Racing also engages players in a set of wild in-race mini-games. Drivers may find themselves smashing through a set of bowling pins, hitting a clown in the face with a pie, hitting a baseball or assembling a sandwich by twisting the Wii Wheel to maneuver their racer through a series of specific ingredients – all while navigating the track and trading paint with opponents for position. For longtime gamers and newcomers alike, these unexpected twists help to distinguish Excitebots: Trick Racing from other racing titles and extend the game's replay value well beyond the finish line.
"Excitebots: Trick Racing offers a perfect blend of action and imagination," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "The fast-paced game play and competitive challenges will satisfy racing fans, while the unique vehicle designs and unexpected mini-games make it unlike any other driving game."
Wii owners without a Wii Wheel accessory can play Excitebots: Trick Racing using a standard Wii Remote™ controller. Broadband access is required for online play. ...- Search DCEmu
