PSMonkey posted this news on his site:

"Our fellow monkey Wally has discovered something interesting. He has found a way to make waverace 64 show the n64 logo. It's a rather interesting hack. Whats going on is waverace progresses far enough to setup the n64 logo into the framebuffer but then haults on an unemulated opcode. So by supressing the unemulated opcodes for now the emulator is able to loop long enough for the video code to force a vsync and make the emulator draw the framebuffer to the screen. So why does this matter? It shows the emulator can progress further then originaly though. It does not mean we are close to running comercial roms yet but it does mean with a little more work we could start seeing more results.

So we will have to see how things progress. So huge credit to wally for finding the hack & $n!pR for his continual testing of the emulator for me.

The PS3 Killzone clip may have been the most talked-about tech demo at the Sony pre-E3 press conference, but one trailer wasn't far behind. The teaser for MotorStorm, from Evolution Studios, showed all types of vehicles racing against photorealistic backgrounds and climaxed with a tumbling buggy headed straight for an unsuspecting motorbike rider.

As great of a cliffhanger as the trailer was, the question on everyone's mind was, "When can I play it?" As gamers know, just because a trailer is done doesn't mean that the game is anywhere close to completion.

MotorStorm trailer Off-roading carnage abounds in this trailer from Sony's E3 press conference. MotorStorm, however, may speed out of the gates alongside the PlayStation 3. On Evolution Studios' Web site, the company says that it is working on "a 'next-gen' PS3 launch title called MotorStorm" (emphasis added).

So, can gamers expect to trade paint and bend fenders when the PS3 finally comes out? Sony representatives would not comment on the subject, issuing what is fast becoming their answer to "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation." "There has been no official announcement on launch software titles for PlayStation 3," said a Sony rep.

Release dates for the PlayStation 3 launch titles (as well as the console itself) remain largely up in the air, and only a handful of games are currently scheduled for release this year. ...

Here is a beta of my new tide predictor program "TIDE_i" written in lua.

Currently it only has 3 locations, Long Island USA, Hinkley Point UK and Weymouth UK..

The tides are calculated to GMT so if you are in another timezone or in daylight saving time then the gmtdiff variable must be changed in the variables file.

Load it up ...X to plot ....O to return to setup.

Tell me what you think.

Eek indeed. Our fellow monkey Wally has discovered something interesting. He has found a way to make waverace 64 show the n64 logo. It's a rather interesting hack. Whats going on is waverace progresses far enough to setup the n64 logo into the framebuffer but then haults on an unemulated opcode. So by supressing the unemulated opcodes for now the emulator is able to loop long enough for the video code to force a vsync and make the emulator draw the framebuffer to the screen. So why does this matter? It shows the emulator can progress further then originaly though. It does not mean we are close to running comercial roms yet but it does mean with a little more work we could start seeing more results.

So we will have to see how things progress.

So huge credit to wally for finding the hack & $n!pR for his continual testing of the emulator for me.

-- info about protest --
Well my protest turned out interesting. It's still an on going project that I will continue to push for (to get sites like ********** & dcemu to get along for a change). Yet I have still desided to take nincest on as a baby project wile i am still hard at work on iris, once maybe iris is futer along i will dedicate more to getting ninsest furter along to start running mario 64. So we will have to see how things go in the future.

Thanks to all who suported the protest & the scene.

--edit--
Now this post comes with a free pretty picture. Mmmm thats lovely. I sudgest framing it. ...

Now first off i think all coders do a fantastic job for every homebrew and emulation scene on any console or computer for that matter. Without them and the hackers you wouldnt have a scene and its as simple as that.

What ever the actions they do and the sometimes strange and unfathomable way that certain releases come out we as a site and a scene thank each and every coder for their work.

Remember that Hero Worshipping one coder is really unfair to all the others who made it easy for that coder to release his work in the first place, the scene and the sites who support it, all work together (in a fashion ) but we are all part of the family and with that in mind shouldnt all homebrew releases be free.

If the person or persons use say devkits or others code to work on their commercial homebrew then shouldnt they get a cut of any profit.

The Dreamcast scene does have commercial homebrew but thats a scene long left to die because of Sega but the PSP is a strong and succesful console and will they be happy to see commercial homebrew ?

We have seen the Bleemcast release on the Dreamcast which gave the Dreamcast an excellent PS1 Emulator but for one game releases, but believe me they made the original game look way better. But Sony used their financial muscle to kill that project dead and so do any coders really want to be sued by Sony if even one PSP gets bricked?

Selling Homebrew even if you made it 100% yourself is a risky adventure.

Whats your thoughts ? ...

Long overdue, but finally here! :-)
It took me a bit longer that I planned: I lost the previous version's source code due to computer crash and had to re-do it from scratch, but I think it's worth it ;-)... anyway:

Rise Of The Triad PSP v0.9

This is a PSP adoptation of Rise Of The Triad, 1st person shooter, originally developed by 3drealms/Apogee.
(http://www.3drealms.com/rott/)
Special thanks to people @ http://icculus.org/rott/, who developed the SDL/linux version of the game.
Please read the attached documents for credits and other information.

If you are unfamiliar with the game please read this great article:
http://rott.classicgaming.gamespy.com/hell/

INSTALLATION
--------
- select between the shareware and full versions (shareware game files are included;
you can purchase the full version from www.3drealms.com)
1.5 users: copy contents of 1.5 folder to ms:/PSP/GAME
1.0 use EBOOT.PBP from 1.0 folder with data files from 1.5 folder (make sure your include .rott directory)
2.0 Please let me know if either version works with the latest eboot loader for 2.0 firmware

If you own the full version of the game use the EBOOTs from the "full" directory with the DARK WAR data files.

CONTROLS
----------------
Due to ovious PSP limitations, some game functions are not mapped in the default key configuration. If you don't like the control layout/functions - you can re-assign them in the controls menu.

GAME PLAY
-----------
THIS IS STILL A BETA VERSION! So it may be a bit unstable. Refer to original documentation for details on game play. Network/multiplayer modes are not supported in this release, but you should be able to use some multiplayer levels in "exploration" mode.
There are seems to be a problem displaying the cut-scenes in the begining of the levels in the full version. So if you see a black screen, just hit space/enter a few times to go through it faster.

TODO
----
MUSIC SUPPORT
NETWORK/MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT - hmm, this may take a while
I'll release the source code once I patch major bugs.

Enjoy,

DENIS

Miq01 has released a first release of his StepMania type game Beat2x.

"I'm working in a rythm game similar to StepMania (for those who wonder why not porting it instead of working on a remake, it's just because I wanted to start it from scratch). For now, it's playable during the first 45 seconds of a song as I haven't added events for the rest."
