A Bangkok based independent movie producer has made us US$250,000 budget movie available as a free download in PSP format.
www.killingtime-24-7.com
Bangkok based independent film director, John Lamond Jnr, a PSP fanatic, decided he would like to do something revolutionary in response to the “changing by the minute” nature of international film distribution and its delivery methods.
“Every day the rules seem to change,” says Lamond, “so I decided to step completely outside the box and share my movie, for free, with other PSP users – actually we’ve set up a donation button on the website, but it’s totally voluntary.”
So now his production company, Sukhumvit Films, is releasing a free version of their independent movie, “Killing Time 24/7”, for download to all PSP users.
“Killing Time (24/7)” is a dark day in the life of a young Asian hit-man.
With mature content, the movie is aimed at an older crowd.
“The anti-hero of the film, Jake, escapes the reality of being a hit-man by kind of fooling himself that he is living within a video game. This, together with the fact that a large proportion of PSP users are mature, led me to the conclusion that releasing the movie as a free PSP download would potentially enable me to connect with my target audience – with the kind of people who I hope would be interested in the film and it’s themes.”
“Anyway, I’m a huge fan of the PSP – I carry mine everywhere with me – and I thought it would just be a cool thing to do.”
The KT247 website, www.killingtime-24-7, has been updated, and now offers free downloadable versions of the trailer and the movie specifically formatted to play on PSP units.
BRAVE OR FOOLISH?
“No, just a new and different method to launch a movie!”
Many TV viewers purchase their own DVD copy of a film or TV programme, even though they have already watched it for free on TV.
“I believe we can make quite an impact and this release will certainly provide us with valuable feedback direct from our target audience… and hopefully we might even earn a few dollars,” says Lamond.
Shot in 9 days on location in Bangkok, Thailand, on Sony HD, the film is currently being prepared for DVD release in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
A boxed DVD version of the movie with extra bonus features, will shortly be available to purchase via the Sukhumvit Films website.

Jamie Fuller has released a fix for his homebrew game SensitivePSP, heres whats new:
Just a quick note to let you know that I have fixed the 2 reported bugs and another I found.
1) Fixed: Crashing after dying lots.
2) Fixed: Diagonals causing corruptions
3) Fixed: Blocks remaining display
more details about the game:
SensitivePSP is the results of my first trials with the PSP. The graphics were designed using Photoshop. The game is based on the original C64 version which was awesome, the level data is taken straight from the original with only a few levels being modified. I have the incredible fortune to get a fantastic remix version of the original music from a great muscian, Danceaway, Click here to visit his site and listen to some of his other excellent work..
The Concept of the game is to get from the starting position to the Exit block destroying all blocks along the way, You may go over the animated blocks more than once, Teleporters will throw you around the level, One way blocks (blocks with solid lines running through them) will also thwart your journey. You must destroy all of the stripey Yellow blocks, including the animated ones before you can exit the level.
Each time you complete a level you will 'unlock' a new one, there are 60 levels in total, SensitivePSP automatically remembers which levels you have unlocked, even after powering off your console. you can select any of the levels you have unlocked as your starting level,from the main menu.

Joyrider posted this news:
I (joyrider/willems soft) recompiled my gp2x games (rubido, formula 1, sokoban and rubido) so that they don't force load the default gp2x menu again when the application exists. Instead it uses a script now to relaunch the menu for people who are still using the normal menu. People who are using the gmenu2x will need to link to the executable files (same file but without the .gpe exentension) manually and turn on the wrapper option in gmenu2x to let it restart the customn menu. I also added an icon for each game. The icon for puzzle land was created by Redeeman.

One other thing, for your own protection, a few words of wisdom shared by Fanjita:
"It would be sensible to install the fonthack before doing anything with stuff that auto-runs from flash1.
If you don't, and things fail for some reason, you may have no way to unbrick.
If you do have fonthack, you can just remove the memory stick and reset your flash1 settings."
thanks for the tip Fanjita! ...by Published on October 13th, 2006 20:19
New release from Puck2099:
Hi,
Here you have the application in which I've been working for this week
What is Battery Test?
It's an utility used to test battery life and other related variables in an objective and accurate way, so you can do compare different battery brands or their electrical properties.
How must I install it?
Unzip the files anywhere in your SD card. After that, you will be able to launch the app from the 'games' menu.
How to use it
This program's objective is to test battery life in an accurate way. You should use some recently charged batteries. Launch this app and wait until batteries are depleted. After the GP2X hangs up (you can leave it overnight and check the results by morning), look for the file "stats.txt" that has been generated, and there you can see the results.
When you execute the program, you'll see a menu from which you can select the speed (from 120 to 300 Mhz) and writing rate (time delay between updates to the file "stats.txt" in the SD card). A shorter the time period means more accurate measures. However, when the program detects that less than a 10% of battery is remaining, it will change writing rate to 5 minutes (thanks Uncanny for the idea).
During the execution, a fire effect demo will be shown (code thanks to Joanvr) so you can check that the application is still running, and at the same time, processor speed, frames per second, elapsed time, and battery charge remaining will be displayed at the bottom part of the screen, both numerically and graphically.
The file stats.txt contains the following information: "current charge" is the actual charge when last measured, and "initial internal charge" and "current internal charge" refer to the exact measurement contained in the internal registers when the test started and after the last measurement, respectively.

New release from WarmfluffyUK of her spaceshooter for the GP2X, heres whats new:
For people who have an older version, you will have to replace everything, that's including the runtime folder as this is an updated runtime for Fenix.
So what's new:
it's a lot faster due to the new Fenix runtime.
Little red arrows flash on the sides of the screen to indicate spinners.
Pause bug sorted, you can now only pause game during actual game play.
Extra buttons used. You can now launch the secondary weapon using the right shoulder button. I found this has made the game much easier to play.
The shield graphic has been updated, it now whizzes round your ship.
This isn't really a major update, it's more like a bells and whistles feature update.
Have fun!!!!

Franxis has just updated his GP2X port of the Arcade emulator MAME.
Heres whats new:
- A better approach for upper memory allocation/deallocation, as explained in wiki.gp2x.org. Most big Neo·Geo games now run ok (Metal Slug 2, Blazing Star, etc). I recommend to play those games with high overclocking, video clock at 100% and audio clock at 100%.
- Elevator Action runs ok again. Thx, TelcoLou, for the error report.
- Solved the problem about the PAUSE message not hidden when unpausing some specific games. Thx, maRRRc!, for the report.
