Moonlight has released the first PSP custom IPL, which is an extension of the firmware 1.5 IPL providing numerous features.

Feature for user:

- It bypasses ta-082+ brick, so you can have a ta-082+ without any key patched running 1.50 kernel based firmwares.

Feature for programmer:

- It dumps 0xbfc00000, the psp boot code prior to ipl, to the address 0x883e0000 (which is not touched by 1.50 kernel). To get the boot code in a 1.50 original firmware, just run kdumper, and extract 0x3e0000-0x3effff from the kmem.bin file -> that's the psp boot code. If you are in a cfw, you will have to execute the kdumper as a recovery or autoboot, because the 3.XX kernel overwrites the 0x883e0000 memory.

Note that this ipl is flashed to the nand, not written to the ms.

Poisonhzkj updated CXMB to v2.31 which includes:

+ paf.prx/vshmain.prx/common_gui.prx support
+ .res/.pmf/.rsc file support
+ 3.40/3.52 CFW support

Download: Custom XMB Plug-in v2.31

Notice: u should use the uncompress prx, if u download a theme with compressed modules, u have to decompress it, so that cxmb could recognize them.

Notice2: use ms0:/cxmb/vsh/module/ (see? not *nodule*) for prx files and ms0:/cxmb/vsh/resource/ for rco files

Notice3: ms0:/cxmb/font/ for fonts, but actually it may cause ur browser some problem, and DO NOT put jpn0.pgf/kr0.pgf/gb3s1518.bwfon/ltn4.pgf here, it would bring u some unknown problems. ^-..-^

A rumor is floating around that new PS3 firmware is to be released within the next 24 hours. The rumor comes from a guy who called Sony regarding Warhawk issues who replied that the new firmwarwe will fix some issues and include USB downloading. Warhawk has been freezing and experienced a number of glitches, so maybe this update will address that, or perhaps its a pack of lies - we'll know for sure soon enough.

"So i called sony to complain about warhawk and see if they had any useful information about the freezing and stats etc...

This is what i was told from the sweet lady on the other end...

Sony is realeasing update 1.92 on the 4th (tomorrow) and it will be for usb downloading and game updates to fix some issues. Could be some hope for the freezing issues. And if this info is old, then im sorry."

Sega's light gun tradition continues on Wii. First impressions inside.

Since the first rumblings of Ghost Squad's Wii release, the IGN Wii team has been pretty optimistic for the shooter's reincarnation on Nintendo's newest system. True; Wii doesn't do exact light gun conversion (at least not yet), but at least the IR adaptation has made it possible for games like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, as well as Duck Hunt clones in Wii Play and the possibility of House of the Dead or Virtua Cop's revival down the road - should SEGA will it. As the first light gun outing for the Japan-based company, SEGA is pushing the spiritual successor of both Virtua Cop and Confidential Mission (another arcade game that had a brief stint on Dreamcast), as Ghost Squad is now heading to Wii.

Ghost Squad is, in nearly every respect, the next Virtua Cop incarnation. The title has changed, and the game is now more robust, but everything from disarming shots to headshots and a prec... More »

  • Another year, another Madden, and another Madden Challenge. EA Sports announced details for the Madden NFL 08 Challenge today, with the Madden Challenge Regional Tournament set to start on September 15 in Dallas, Texas.

    The regional tournament will encompass 17 U.S. cities in total, with 256 competitors at each venue; winners will advance to the Finals Tournament in Los Angeles, CA for a chance to win $100,000 dollars. This is also the second year in a row that the Madden Challenge - in its sixth year - will be an international affair, with NFL International sponsoring the event in London, Toronto and Mexico City.

    Noteworthy is the fact that the main competition will take place on the Xbox 360 version of Madden 08, which runs at 60 frames-per-second, compared to the PlayStation 3's 30fps, making the visuals a little a smoother. There will also be a competition on the PlayStation 2 version, with another 256 competitors at each venue and winners receiving $1,00... More »

    The game already looks phenomenal, but when you combine that with a smooth frame rate, you've got something special.

    There have been plenty of driving games of late that have been visually impressive, but very few live up to the visual fidelity displayed by DiRT. This game is a technical achievement in car design, track design, and damage modeling. To begin with, the cars are beautifully rendered, highly detailed models that are as fantastic to look at as they are to destroy. Damage modeling is one of the most impressive aspects of the game; you can lose bumpers or doors, break glass, tear up the paintjob, and roll your ride into a crushed, deformed mess. Tracks are equally beautiful and destructible. From the rain-slick tarmac tracks of Japan and the dusty backroads of Italy to the muddy, gravelly countryside of the UK, DiRT nails every environment wonderfully.

    The game also uses lighting to fantastic effect, not just to emphasize how shiny and reflective th... More »
