Here's a question for our British readers: does it bother you at all that your government is spending your tax quid on outfitting each berth in the Royal Navy's six new, £6 billion Type 45 Destroyers with iPod docks and surround sound (along with CD players and Internet access, but hey, those are obvious necessities)? The first of these new warship-cum-luxury-liners, the HMS Daring (the others are the Dauntless, Diamond, Defender, Dragon, and Duncan), left her dry dock in Glasgow today with a ceremonial send-off, complete with confetti and missle-firings. Unfortunately for the people on shore waving and watching for their loved ones, most of the crew immediately headed below deck to their mini-apartments, cranked up the Spice Girls, and began applying some bronzer in anticipation of their first party destination assignment.

Just when you thought disgruntled iPod customers couldn't find anything else to complain about, a Louisiana man has filed a lawsuit against Apple, complaining that the iPod can cause hearing loss. According to the suit, the iPod can be pumped up to over 115 decibels, a level that can damage hearing, and the audio players are "inherently defective in design and are not sufficiently adorned with adequate warnings." A lawyer for the plaintiff said he didn't know if his client had suffered hearing loss, but said that's irrelevant. "He's bought a product which is not safe to use as currently sold on the market," the lawyer said. Given that iPods already include warnings that state that "permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume," we don't expect this one to go very far. In the meantime, we're sure someone out there is planning a lawsuit over the iPod with video, claiming that it's an unsafe device because you could be hurt if you watch videos while walking or driving.

Yoyofr author of the Snes9xTYL emulator for PSP , has update his w.i.p status on next version Snes9xTYL 0.03
here's a status update for next release :
* some small bug fixes (gfx rendering, memory card issues, ...)
* 2 releases : one with sound mixing (not emulation, only mixing) on the media engine, requiring kernel mode, so firmware 1.0 & 1.5
one with standard mixing on main cpu, in user mode, so probably working on all firmware until 2.6 (but not sure since neocdpsp is user mode only and doesn't seem to work well on 2.0+ firmware)
* mode 7 optimizations for "not rotated" rendering (for example maps in rpg, ...).
* minor new features : delete rom in file browser, delete save state
I'm currently working on stability issues when you go to sleep mode & resume.
As soon as it's ok, I'll release it. Perhaps I'll implement a new menu using neocdpsp work from radius, I've to check with him
more to come... ...by Published on February 2nd, 2006 10:06
PMP Mod is a media player for PSP.
Here is the waited for malloc MOD+GUI version of jonnys latest 1.02 PMPMOD.
This is version PMPMOD M4.02g3, thus contains all mods from mallocs M4 plus a bugfixed g3 GUI version with these fixes:
Version M4.02g3:
- Timezone bug fixed, time is now displayed correctly in file list
- Battery Time display bug after unplugging the power cable fixed
- Playtime display bug with some videos in infobar fixed (Silent Hill Trailer of jo2k)
- Fixed malloc_64 bug not allowing some videos to play on GUI version
- Fixed 0-size POS file creation bug
- Fixed color display bug when exchanging mallocs infobar interface with a non greyscale version
- increased responsiveness of the filelist, but lowered responsiveness of the triangle button for playlist add/remove because it was too easily double triggered
- Added a counter for number of playlist items
Thanks to malloc for merging my M4g2 code with jonnys 1.02
so I could concentrate on the actual fixes.

Naoneo has released the PSix Project, heres the details:
" It's finally here!, we are proud to present to the psp scene, Psix, This not only marks the release of psix, but the beginning of a revolution, high quality visuals with high quality coding seemlessly merged to provide the user with the most fluid home-grown software experience ever!
And remember, it doesn't stop here, even after release we will be working none stop to impliment more and more features, and extend psix to something absolutely uniqe!
Haven't got a psp?, that's fine!, you can STILL testdrive psix by checking out the Psix Flash demo!
I would also like to make it clear that Psix pro membership ($9.99) is not payment for psix itself, the fee is for pro membership, which entitles the user to private forum access, and access to the latest updates and advancements, months before they are added to Psix lite (which will be updated with new features). "

FAQ
Q) Can psix boot v2.00 games such as GTA?
A) Yes and No, some v2.00 required games do run from psix without update, but sadly most (Including GTA) do not.

A) No, psix is just an application you can run
Q) Doesn't psix violate any GPLs, IPLs or TOUs?
A) No, psix operates without violating any rules and laws surrounding licenses and agreements.
Q) What's pro membership?
A) Pro membership gives you direct access to the latest developments in psix, and gives you direct interaction with the psix team for bug quishing, suggestions and idea, we will be working closely with the pro members to make psix the best it can possibly be.
Q) What do i get with pro membership?

- Frequent software updates
- Private members forum for discussing and suggesting changes to psix
- Access to the latest builds all uniquely built for your specific psp

Q) How long do you plan on keeping psix updated?
A) We forsee given various factors such as sony's required firmware updates and general product life, between one and two years.
Q) How can i be sure some of the payment will go back to the psp community via the PDR program?
A) Honestly, you can't however i will personally ask that anyone who receives funding/resources from the PDR project, give us their username and a few words about it, so that people know if, and exactly who benefits from the program.
Q)Will the psix forum be open to the public?
A) No, the forums are for pro members only, this removes the possibility of spammers, trolls and crackers sniffing around to find someone with a copy of pro to 'leak'.
Q)Will psix lite be updated?
A) YES!, psix lite WILL be updated, however updates to psix lite will come slower than those that psix pro members have access to, the average time frame we are working with is that features from pro will slowly make it into lite after 2 or 3 months of them being in pro, so if you really do not wish to purchase pro membership, you can still enjoy the updates pro membership brings, but at a later date!
