48w ago - Following up on my previous release, this weekend I have updated the Solar PS3 homebrew 3D screensaver to version 4.2 with the changes outlined below.

Download: Solar 4.2 Standalone / Solar 4.2 Rogero Edition / Solar_v4.2_CFW4.XX PKG

To quote: Hi guys, Here's another update, Solar v4.2.

Even though I took a little break, I'm back with a new Solar update; added a bunch of stuff this time around, most of them are in the changelog. There's two versions, stand-alone and Rogero Manager's. For Rogero Manager both PKGs need to be installed.

1. Solar.pkg
2. Solar_RELOAD_RM.pkg

After installed it can be launched from XMB or automatically while Rogero Manager idles. Hope you enjoy it, thanks. CAW!

Changelog Solar v4.2:

• Rebuilt the 3D engine.
  
• Added more items to UI interface.
  
• Added memory counter.
  
• Added FPS (frames per second).
  
• Added better light engine.

49w ago - Following up on his previous release, this weekend PlayStation 3 developer aldostools has made available a PS3 Game Updates v1.0 homebrew application which allows you to identify and download updates for video game backups.

Download: PS3 Game Updates v1.0 to v3.0 (Installer) / PS3 Game Updates v1.0 to v3.0 (No Installer) / MSVBVM50.DLL (Required)

To quote: My new tool... (beta)

I really liked the trueicecold's PS3 Game Updater 1.41, but I wanted a couple of new features... so I made my own "PS3 Game Updates 1.0"...

Features:

• The title id field accepts many formats of title id (eg: title id with/without dash, content id, URL of pkgs, etc). Also supports search game by name.
  
• The title id field also accepts the path of GAMES or the IP of the PS3 (to scan multiple games).
  
• Show game patches 3.56+...

49w ago - Following up on his previous release, this weekend PlayStation 3 developer ThatOtherDev has updated his homebrew game They Do Not Die 2 to version 0.8 for Windows, Wii and the PS3 console.

Download: They Do Not Die 2 v0.8 PS3 Homebrew Game PKG / They Do Not Die 2 v0.8 PS3 Homebrew Game PKG (Mirror) / They Do Not Die 2 v0.8 Wii Homebrew Game / They Do Not Die 2 v0.8 Windows Homebrew Game

Below are the changes from his blog, as follows: Here is a small update for They Do Not Die 2 along with its first Windows release.

I've added blood and corpses. On Wii and PS3 they quickly shrink until they disappear but on Windows they fade instead of shrink (which I think looks a lot better) and there can be more of them in the game world at a time which means that they disappear more slowly.

I've also made a handful of minor and most likely unnoticeable changes (mostly related to city generation).
