Dismisses rumours of a manufacturing cessation
Microsoft has re-affirmed its continued support for the original Xbox games console, dispelling rumours that hardware manufacturing for the machine has now been officially stopped.
The rumour, which initially appeared on US website Kotaku.com, was sparked by an email from an undisclosed source in the retail sector, suggesting that hardware production of the original machine had stopped and prompting immediate questions regarding the level of support for existing customers, for both first and third-party games.
Microsoft had stated during last year's E3 expo in May that support for the original console would continue in terms of hardware sales and software launches, and it would seem reasonable to accept that the focus of its attention has shifted somewhat recently, in light of the continuing stock issues for its next-generation Xbox 360, which launched in the US in November. However, that change in product launch schedules and hardware support doesn't necessarily translate to Microsoft's outright neglect of its original machine.
Gamesindustry.biz contacted Microsoft to clarify its position on the Xbox, and a company spokesperson told us: "We remain very supportive of the Xbox platform and there have been no announcements about plans to cease or alter production."
"While we do not have other titles to announce at this time, we are committed to providing existing Xbox customers with exciting gaming experiences in 2006. There are 200 Xbox titles expected to ship this year. It is the responsibility of the first party to create genre-defining games for its platform and we are taking that stance with both Xbox and Xbox 360. We feel we have an amazing ecosystem with third parties providing content to Xbox at this time. We have done a great job on the Xbox side with such franchises as Halo, Project Gotham Racing, Fable, and Forza, not to mention our pioneering work we’ve done for Xbox Live," the spokesperson concluded. ...by Published on January 25th, 2006 18:09

I had written a program before to change the name of the folders to a longer name which after I believe 33rd character PSP didn't recognize but then some "folder specific" homebrew wouldn't run properly. So I noticed PSP lists the icons according to folder's creation date, and made a program which finds your PSP drive (as best as it can) and changes the % folder's creation date to the current time which moves the "Corrupt Data" folders waay into the bottom of the Game list. It's not as good as "completely invisible" but still rather visually pleasing :P
The README is not "really" necessary but people always ask so here it is.
ReadMe
First from the above combo box select your PSP drive. The program takes a good guess at what it already is, but just to be sure select it yourself. After you have selected the PSP drive click the button below. After you have clicked it, you will notice all the Corrupt Data icons have moved to the bottom of the list.

ZodTTD has updated his rather excellent Playstation Emulator for the GP2X, heres the latest news from the coder:
I've been working really hard to fix a bug in GP2PSX and I finally got it done. So compatibility has gone up. I also have cleaned up the code quite a lot, much of it redone completely, and its been cleaned up a lot since I will be releasing the source shortly.
Give this version a look but don't expect a speed gain over previous versions.
Hopefully though, compatibility is up. I've also been working with people from the Sharp Zaurus community on a PSX emulator, and a dynamic recompiler is in the works.
Anyone who knows ARM assembly want to help with my PSX emulator ports? Message me.
I really appreciate the donations, and I'm still around.
I've missed a lot of whats been happening with the GP2X, anyone want to fill me in on the dev news?
UPDATED January 24th, 2006:
New in this version:
- Many more games should now run due to a long exhaustive search for a fix to a bug. Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, for example, render properly!
- The frameskip now show the exact framerate and is updated every 300 frames.
- Lot's of code has been redone and cleaned up to get ready for a release of the source code.
- You can now exit from the main menu by pressing the Y button.
- This code is still unoptimized, many more speed improvements can be made. I'm working on it, and hopefully when I release the source people will help.
- Definitely try out HLE speed optimizations by holding down the L or R button while selecting a game. It should work better now.
A dynamic recompiler is being worked on, let's hope it gets finished.

Fanjita has done it again, heres the news he posted earlier:
We finally made a more solid breakthrough with the EBOOT loader for GTA tonight. Not only does the menu now work properly, but I've also managed to run the uo_SNES9x emulator, and play the Pilotwings ROM (the only one I have), on both v2.0 and v2.5.
At the moment everything is hanging together with a pretty nasty hack. Ideally I'd like to get that fixed up before release, but it's more likely that we'll decide to release things as they currently are, and iron out that issue later.
Please note that lots of basic homebrew is still not working, but I thought that getting SNES emulation running was a big enough milestone to celebrate! Also, if we do decide to release, it will take a few days to knock the code into a releasable format.
Awesome stuff eh
