New PSP OS?

Note from Auri: Of course, you'll need a 1.0 or 1.5 PSP to run this... but cool! Let's hope the 2.5/2.6 PSP homebrew hack comes along well and we don't have to downgrade to run great stuff like this!

Phoenix OS for PSP - In Development

One of our users named Gary has been working on a shell in C called Phoenix OS. You can download a demo of it, and you can get a video of it booting a UMD game, then returning to the shell after pressing home (using the BOOTLOADER from FileAssistant++) at http://shell.indocron.org/. We’ll keep you posted as news develops!

The Return of Sega Dreamcast? Sweet! Bass Fishing, here I come!

Sega’s re-releasing the Dreamcast in Japan?

Sega’s not flapping their yapper so far as we can tell, but German gaming site Gamefront.de is claiming they’re going to be re-releasing the frickin’ Dreamcast bundled with Radilgy and some limited edition telephone card or something. But our wish come true from the Ghost of Hackable Consoles Past will probably be Japan-only though, distributed through Sega Direct for ¥10,000 (about $83 US) — still, could this be the triumphant return of Sega hardware, even if only just nostalgia-gear? Apparently we’ll find out February 16th (or sooner).

Speed Boost for MAME Emulator! w00t!

(from PSP Updates)

eSwan W.I.P. Update

Eswaniconforpsp

“e” is still working on the eSwan emulator.

He found the CPU core too slow, and changed it with the V30 core from the latest MAME. The result is… A BIG BOOST. The fps can likely reach 180fps as a result. But there are several bugs which made it unusable.

Hope a stable release will be out soon. Keep it up, e! =D
