Just one day after Rockstar Games announced that Manhunt 2 had secured an M Rating in the US, media watchdog group Campaign For a Commercial-Free Childhood has challenged the decision by the ESRB to re-rate the game, and is demanding to know why it has been allowed a lower rating than the previously Adult Only (AO) it received.
I think we'd all like to know what was cut from Manhunt 2, but only one thing's for sure. Manhunt 2. October 31st.
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.
Yah, the new Portal is bright- it's a stock theme and if it floats we will customize it later. Our Forums are also back online and brighter too, again another stock style which will likely be updated once we have some freetime.
Our Staff isn't the only one who can post news here now, anyone can and link to their own page with the related files, etc in their articles. This is now a community effort to keep people updated on the latest PS3 and other news that would interest techies and gamers alike.

Finally, we have a lot more to do before this is done (for example, move this from /new/ on the server and fix some sub-domain stuff) so please bear with us over the next few days and th... More »
Catching up a tad on news, we received word on this new and exciting project- FREEVAST! For those who don't know, PS2 VAST (video below) is essentially an ELF file with an altered magicgate header so it can launch the exploit to run the executable. The manufacturer wants you to pay for the hardware containing this file, however, sceners seem to know better and apparently good things come to those who wait... so save your money and keep checking the FREEVAST site! :)
Update #3: All accounts should be fixed now, so give it a whirl people and if anyone still has a login issue feel free to use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. Also, don't be afraid to use the Submit a New Story tab above to share anything you deem as interesting.
Update #2: We now have the original (Forum) accounts working with the Portal, so that you can use your existing one to login and then submit news or comments. For the first 100 people or so (who re-registered with the new Portal) we are still working on fixing your accounts so you can login with the new system... Thanks for your patience guys! :)
Update: Ignore what is below for now.. we are completing the integration so that you will only need to use your existing Forum account to access the Portal to Submit news, comments, etc. This should be done by later today- stay tuned... and if you can't login yet it is because we are doi... More »
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or at least that appears to be the thinking (not to mention the timing) behind Sony's white PS2 as Nintendo's Wii continues to outsell the competition.
Sony announced on Wednesday plans for a limited edition Ceramic White PlayStation 2 bundled with SingStar Pop, two USB microphones, and a single white Dual-Shock controller. The bundle launches this November for $150.
Granted, Wii doesn't own the patent on the color white; that one belongs to Apple. And even though Wii similarities abound, the announcment shouldn't take anything away from the PS2. To date the system has sold an unprecedented 117 million worldwide, 44 million in North America alone. In fact, PS2 is still the second best selling console in the world some seven years after its initial release.
Publisher Atari has released a new release list today. On this list you also find some Xbox 360 titles, below with Eternal Sonata that will release on 9 November same as Ace Combat 6: Fires or Liberation thats is planned on 23 November this year.

The new PCSX2 plays PS2 games close to full speed and now supports online play! The authors and beta testers have successfully played Monster Hunter online on the official servers with people playing on real PS2s. Keyboard support was then added for chatting.
There is no release with these features yet and please do not bug the authors about one. You can however play with the latest released version.
digimonster3 has posted up some videos allegedly showing homebrew running on the PS3 under PS3 mode (not through Linux). There is speculation that it's simply running under PS1/PS2 emulation mode, but only time will tell for sure what develops. Feel free to share your feedback and check out the videos below!
