Pop along to PSP-Scene for the details. 

The menu system is a bit basic, but that should not put you off, the controls for it are (it’s a Korean app, so I’ll let you know).

Left Shoulder – play from beginning
Right Shoulder – Go to PSPlayerMT Menu
circle – select the file and play
triangle – zoom the video
square – displays info video time and speed
left dpad – fast rewind
right dpad – fast forward
start – pause the video during playback
L1+R1+START- Back to PSP system menu

Download it and have a play…… (official site)

The pack contains : Aenea decryptor, DecryptPRX, Fastloader07, MPH Firmware launcher, MPH Game Loader 1.01, UMD Emulator 8C.

Some of the improvements and new features look to be Sony Music Store connectivity, PS3 Connectivity, Mail, Notepad, Sketchpad, Organiser (including alarm) and enhanced security (with possibly better wireless security support?).

Pop along an have a look for yourself, let’s hope that MPH gets his firmware launcher sorted

Pop along here and have a look how to get your favourite 2.0 game loading

This from his website

"Here the 2.00 game loader for 1.50, see the readme.txt for informations.

This is a demonstration version, the play will stop after 10 minutes, if I did it, it’s to do a little pub for my site, for boost adsense and the donations

I don’t like to do that but it’s the only means which I found to allow i hope to buy a psp 2.50 to be able to try other programs

The full version of the loader will be available within one week, it does not matter the results obtained but i hope to be able when same to count on your generosity.

Thank you"

Pop along to the site and get the information on how to get it all working

- Integrated release, supporting both TIFF and GTA launch methods
- Automatic installer for Windows users
- Stable support for all v2.0+ firmwares – no more special voodoo required to improve reliability
- More memory for applications
- Lots of bug fixes
- And the much requested support for PSP-GBA

Pop over to Fanjita’s site for the download.

I’ll attach the firmware and the MPH Launcher to try it out.

Basically install MPH Launcher (version 1.3.7u5 attached below) then unpack the firmware into the relevant folders then launch the MPH Firmware Launcher.

Have fun

MPH Launcher 1.3.7u5
Custom Firmware 1.5 Plus

EDIT: I’ve been asked to make a few things clearer, so here goes (I will make an overview page with terms and definitions but until then)

MPH Launcher :  Allows a 1.5 PSP to run other firmware above the 1.5 firmware, this alows testing. There is still work to do on the app though as it struggles with certain things.

Firmware : What the device uses to run, like the Windows OS on your PC (sort of, PC’s have firmware as well, but that is the best description). The remixed firmware take parts of the 2.x firmware and integrate them into the 1.5 core part of the firmware.

Hope that helps

• XBox Live Marketplace RSS Feed
• Sega announce PSP Title – OutRun 2006 Coast to Coast
• The 360 Compatibility list updated
• IBM Release spec on the 360 Chip
• New Sniff Petrol

Thats about it, have fun

P.S. Oh yeah, the zip file attached is the opensource XBox360 ISO viewer/extractor.

• Sony have launched PSP Firmware 2.6 for Japan and America, Europe should get it soon. What’s new? Well WMA support (no WMA9 Lossless, DRM or Pro support) and the ability to save DRM’d content to he MSDuo directly from the browser and RSS support. 
• Rhindle over on the GA-Forum has been playing with running Windows applications via the media extender abilities of the XBox 360. Lot’s of things run but some stuff crashes. 
• The European advert for the 360 that is on TV at the moment is apparently not the only one; this one was apparently blocked by Microsoft. It is quite amusing though. 
• Microsoft have already got some downloadable (pay for) content for Kameo available for Christmas (see right). 
• A trailer for Prey on the 360 has been released by 2K Games; it’s based on the Doom 3 engine so should look pretty in HD  
• Not sure why you would want to, but a downgrader from 1.5 to 1.0 has been released for the PSP (Get it here). The nice news on this though is it will allow developers to make ‘custom’ firmware for the PSP as it uses own written code to replace the NAND memory with the v1.0 files. So we could have 2.6FW with all the benefits of 1.5! (Original story) 
• Nokia has finally done the right thing and killed the nGage off, about time! 
• EA has released information about the XBox 360 version of Burnout 3 

That’s about it for the important stuff, more if I hear/see it.
