More than just your average bear

SONY'S PSP HAS been widely hyped by the gaming media, but behind all the slick advertising and flashy graphics, there's a very diverse machine and already a strong homebrew userbase.
There's a lot more to the PSP than Lumines - first up, we have the unofficial Snes9x emulator for the PSP. Exciting news for fans of almost-but-not-quite-retro gaming, who can stick their favourite games (in rom format, of course) onto their PSPs. With the help of a memory stick and maxconsole.net's handy newbie guides, you can be playing your old SNES favourites on the move. Another guide definitely worthy of note is this one, which will tell you all you need to know about playing UMD based games off of your memory stick.
Maxconsole.net has a brief interview with 31 year old "AloneTrio," a member of WAB - creator of the PSP file launcher - here, which may interest those into PSP development. Something else that is sure to interest PSP boffs is the original catalyst for the PSP development, this ISO loader, which can be thanked (or blamed, depending on your opinion on PSP dev) for starting the frenzy. After this interview AloneTrio was betrayed by the interviewer. Sony incriminated AloneTrio as a illegally hacker of a trademarked system. AloneTrio was arrested by the police and we hope that he get his fairly penalty.
