Sony Wants Rock Band, Guitar Hero on PSP

Theworldwide musicrhythm sensations Rock Band and Guitar Hero have touched down on just about every console imaginable, but inexplicably have passed over the PSP. In a recent interview with MTV (a place that should know about these things) Sony marketing exec John Koller said he would very much like to see iterations of both games appear on the handheld.Considering Sony's targeted older teen demographic and the hip, urban style of much PSP marketing, we are genuinely surprised that these franchises have so far evaded the handheld. In his statement, however, Koller did not specify exactly when or how this lack of music titles would be remedied:

"It’s of huge interest to us. That’s something you’d really have to talk to the developers on that side [if] it’s going to happen or not. For us, we look at the music area as being critical for PSP and the social area of interest as well. PSP is a lot different than your traditional handheld product and music is the number two use on the PSP, behind gaming. So, the marrying of those two concepts is of huge interest to us, and if there’s that opportunity to launch a title like that or even a new title that utilizes music in some way, then obviously we’re very interested.”



The abrupt and audacious absence of Rock Band and Guitar hero on the PSP makes us wonder, "Why accept these developers captivated aback from absolution their amateur on the PSP?" The handheld seems like the absolute belvedere to ambition with amateur like this. There are apparently a amount of affidavit for the abhorrence of publishers. Most chiefly is acceptable the slower sales of the PSP in North America abaft the cheaper and beneath able Nintendo DS. Marketing wizards at Harmonix and Neversoft accept apparently looked actual carefully at the installed abject on both systems and absitively that the PSP is not in abundant American easily (yet) to accreditation porting the bold over accurately for the handheld. Secondly, advancing piracy and a weakness in software sales has assertive some North American developers to break abroad from the arrangement altogether. Sony needs to advance this acumen arch on if they wish to argue developers like Harmonix to accompany their creations to the PSP.

This is mainly a maintenance release with a few bug fixes. It also adds a new feature to support homebrews to use extra slim memory.

New Features for PSP Slim:
- Added support to homebrews that are built with the option PSP_LARGE_MEMORY, that is, to use the extra slim memory. When running these homebrews under iR Shell, they will have access to another 26MB slim RAM. Pls note 2MB of slim RAM is reserved for iR Shell.

- When setting np9660 mode in iR Configurator, some homebrews failed to launch.
- Launching PS1 games via popsloader wasn't working properly.
- Copying a large file from ms0: to nethost0: will crash the system.

Special thanks to:
- Osgeld for spending so much effort in resurrecting irshell.org.
- Dark_AleX for the M33 custom firmwares and his assistance to help adding popsloader support.
- Tyranid and other developers in ps2dev.org for creating the pspsdk.

iR Shell 4.7 for 5.00m33 (Released)

Developer of the popular and multi-purpose shell replacement for the PSP (AhMan), has released v4.7. New to this version is complete support for custom firmware 5.00 M33, the latest Popsloader giving you the ability to launch PSone games from within iR Shell, enhancement of the HTML Plugin (by Dark_AleX) to allow direct launching of flash games with extension SWF, the Infra-Red learning remote, and many other improvements and bug fixes.


Below is the list of new feature summary:

- Support Dark_AleX latest 5.00M33-3 CFWs. Users of original 5.00M33 & M33-2 should upgrade to M33-3 to avoid incompatibility issues. The latest Popsloader 5.00 is also supported.
- An Infra-Red learning remote is added for PSP Phat. You no longer need to hunt pronto codes for your appliances. Just point your remote unit at the PSP and it will learn the iR code. It is available under higher firmwares and not fw 1.5 mode. Refer to the Release Note for usage details.
- The nethostfs connection handling has been redesigned to be more robust. However, iR Shell 4.7 and onwards can only connect to the new nethostfs PC server v2.1. Make sure you've updated the nethostfs PC server.
- Enhance UMD/ISO game compatibility via nethostfs MAX mode. Most previous failed games will probably work.
- Usbhostfs & nethostfs host redirection under XMB has returned.
- The Adhoc PC connection for nethostfs was broken since fw 3.71. This feature has been brought back for PSP Phat.
- Enhance the HTML Plugin (by Dark_AleX) to allow direct launching of flash games with extension SWF.

5.00 M33-2 release

Dark Alex 5.00 m33-2 finally out at his site .


Changes:

- Popcorn bug fixes

* Fixed bug that caused some games with certain icons not to work, and caused document.dat not to work.

* Fixed critical bug that caused continous corruption of psx games in RAM.

- Core bugfix: Fixed sctrlKernelSetInit* functions not working.

- M33 network update doesn't work in 5.00 M33, fixed.

- Added the posibility of loading version information from the file flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt


By default is disabled. If you enable it in recovery, you could for example dump 5.01 firmware,
copy the version.txt from it to the flash, and bypass firmware check restrictions like those that
may be in psn, etc.
This will also fake official network update (not m33 one), and running the update eboot (again, not m33 ones).

- Plugins configuration file format changed.

The new format is as follows:

* There is no more conf.bin file.
* Now each line in vsh.txt game.txt and pops.txt will have a 0 or a 1 at the end. 1 indicates
that the plugin will be loaded, 0 (or anything else) that it won't be loaded.

Entering in recovery in 5.00 M33-2 wil automatically convert the old format configuration
to the new one (this may cause a delay first time you enter in plugins because of conversion).

- Added optins under advanced configuration that allow enable/disable of plugins in a certain configuration.
By default they are enabled.

You can download it now by following this cool link

PSPdisp v0.1 homebrew app

Developer Jochen Schleu has released his first version of homebrew application, PSPdisp. This homebrew app lets your PSP become an extra monitor for your PC. This app is basically the opposite of TyRaNiD's RemoteJoyLite homebrew app. Schleu reports that this program will work on both slim and phat PSP's running on custom firmware and it was test on 4.01 M33. This program won't work on Windows Vista.

Here's a video that gives you and idea of what this program does :





PC Requirements:

Reasonably modern PC (Pentium 4 / Athlon64 or above) running a 32 Bit version of Windows XP. It may work under Windows 2000, but it is untested. 64 bit versions are not supported, as well as Windows Vista. I would like to provide a Vista version but it will probably never happen due to the changes in the display driver model regarding multi-monitor support.

Installation:

* Windows application, drivers, etc.
* Download the installer below and execute it.
* When it comes to the display driver installation, Windows will warn you that the driver is unsigned, let the setup program install it anyway.
* After setup has finished, open your display settings and enable the new monitor then move it to the position you like.
* Connect your PSP and copy the files from the "psp" folder in the installation directory to the memory stick.
