Datel are one of the UKs finest when it comes to excellent console accessories, heresan excerpt of an interview by Cubed:
Datel has been around for so many years now creating accessories across so many formats. What do you feel makes the company so special in comparison to other competitors that have faded away over the years (an example being the Game Genie)?
Ian Osborne: Datel has stayed at the front of the pack through constant innovation and improvement. While other companies allowed their products and product range to stagnate, we’ve always stayed one step ahead and never rested on our laurels.
C3: Nintendo has in the past come down hard on import stores, such as Computer Exchange, forcing them to remove any US or Japanese games being sold in the UK. Has Datel ever had any problems with the company, considering devices such as the Action Replay and Freeloader opening a gateway to import gaming?
IO: Import gaming is not illegal, and neither is a software solution to unlocking a console to take advantage of import gaming. Datel refuses to be bullied, and will continue to make the products the gamers want, even if some companies don’t want us to have them.

I'm sure many thousands of you have just downgraded to Firmware 1.50 and are wondering "Whats all the fuss about?". Well, I have written this guide to explain everything you'll need to know to enjoy your 1.50 PSP! This guide is really aimed at new users who are not familiar with firmware 1.50 and its abilities.
Intro
Firmware 1.50 allows you to run "homebrew" on your PSP, higher firmwares do not directly have this ability. Firmware 1.50 allows you to do much more with your PSP than the higher firmwares, due to the large amount of homebrew developers who sacrifice their free time to provide you with free games, apps and more!
So what is homebrew then?
Simply put, homebrew is "homemade" games and applications etc. for use with your PSP. PSP homebrew developers do not work for official gaming companies like Ubisoft and EA, nor do they get paid. Therefore, homebrew is 100% free!
What you need to know
Firmware 1.50 allows you to almost anything to your PSP! This section of the guide will explain everything about the PSP Firmware and will not affect most of you.
-Flash
The PSP stores 2 directories where the PSP firmware is stored and read. These are named "flash0" and "flash1". The critical system files are stored in flash0, corrupt files in flash1 can normally be repaired and will not brick (break) your PSP.
You cannot directly access the flash without special tools such as ThemePSP or X-Flash. It is not recommended that you attempt to modify your PSPs flash as it could result in a brick (unless of course you carefully use any of the 2 apps mentioned above).
Applications like ThemePSP will allow you to do all sorts of things with your 1.50, including changing the background, font, bootsound and gameboot screen. Other applications will also allow you to speed up your PSP, including over-riding the chip to 333mhz instead of the standard 222mhz.
-XMB
The XMB is what you see when you turn your PSP on (in other words, the main menu
)
-Emulation
An emulator is an application for the PSP which allows you to run games or other apps which have not been designed for the PSP. For example, DGEN allows you to play Sega Genisis games on your PSP.
Recommended Homebrew
X-Flash - Flash modication tool (make sure you know what you're doing
)
Theme PSP - Another flash modification tool designed for changing backgrounds and fonts etc.
IRShell - Shell replacement for the PSP
ThrottleX - Fun, puzzle style driving game
PSPMillionaire - PSP version of the popular TV show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"
PSPMonopoly - PSP version of the board game "Monopoly"
PSPRadio - The name says it all
DevHook - Allows you to emulate firmware 2.71 on your PSP
DGEN - Sega Genisis Emulator for the PSP
PiMPStreamer - Allows you to stream PMP movies
PMP VLC Player - Another PMP media player
Harleyg's Custom Firmware .2 - Custom PSP Firmware
Dark_AleX POC Custom Firmware - Proof of concept custom PSP Firmware
gpSP - GameBoy Advance Emulator
LUAPlayer + Interface Lua - Modified version of LUAPlayer
Daedalus - Nintendo64 Emulator
NesterJ - NES Emulator
There are many more great apps available which haven't sprung to mind, if anyone else has any recommended apps, please simply reply to this thread.
I hope you've found this short guide useful.

mdxonline.dyndns.org/archives/nds/
btw, if you have supercard, you cant use setup, youd have to edit (sorry about the hack part i was tired and had a headache) the setup.ini
open setup.exe
un-select everything
click the green setup button
close setup
open setup.ini and in the end of it it should say all short names of carts-notice supercards arent listed,
add your supercard version:
supercard sd/minisd = SCSD
supercard cf = SCCF
the microsd dont know,
but it might be this:
SCMS
or
SCTF
then if any value of different carts is one make it zero and make your supercardcard choice one
open setup.exe again
in the setup you will still not be able to select them, but in the ini you just have said you DO WANT IT TO BE MADE, so it works. dunno why itisnt possible directly, but this does work

Firstly sorry for the pun Bruce Lua. Ok then this is my first LUA game its taken me about a week and a half to get it where it is now and I hope to make it mutch better because at the moment only the training works, but soon I would like to develope it more into like a side scrolling beat-em up or something along those lines.
In the training you are Bruce Lee located at the shaolin temple and you have to smash the boards one by one, using differant moves, with a couple of words of wisdom from Bruce Lee as you go.
Well thats about it, one thing thoe make sure that his fist or foot (depending on if your kicking or punching) is actualy touching the board or nothing will happen. I hope you all like it and if possiable please give some feed back.
Note: Its in EBOOT form so no need to put it on the LUA player just put it straight in the GAME folder.

News from IGN
Today Take-Two announced it had received additional grand jury subpoenas seeking information on its financial practices. As a result, the publisher is delaying its full third-quarter fiscal earnings report....
In June, the New York District Attorney's office subpoenaed Take-Two for financial records dating back to fall 2001, and for information relating to the dead horse named Hot Coffee. The most recent subpoenas request documents regarding stock options and other equity based compensation from November 2001 to the present.
Take-Two said it would not report its full earnings statement until the investigation is concluded. It did release some preliminary results, though; particularly that analysts' prediction for net revenue in Q3 (ended July 31, 2006) revenue was accurate, around $240 million, up from $169.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. However, it said estimates for profit were "too high." Take-Two continues to cite the industry transition as a primary reason for underperformance.
As if this all weren't enough, Take-Two said a "Rockstar PSP title based on a premier brand" would be pushed back from its planned fourth quarter release date. Rockstar has not announced the title yet, and Vice City Stories is still scheduled to ship this October. (Pure speculation: Red Dead Revolver?)by Published on September 2nd, 2006 14:29
Just to let you all know that the links for every release is on the sites they correspond to.
Also we have split the PS3 and Xbox 360 News away from the PS2 and Xbox sites, it just means youll get purer news from now on if your a fan of PS2/Xbox.
Got some news coming later for homebrew fans/coders but until then enjoy the day
