Nothing to write home about but you guys kept saying you would like to see larger roms like zelda run. So see attached images. Again this is not a big deal since daedalus already suports large rom and runs faster. I more just did this after playing dk64 and caving in to see if it or zelda would actualy run on m64.

Well the results is that both zelda's run (but have a scale bug, probably from cop1 rounding ops), Ridge racer 64 runs, DK64 hangs (I though it was 64k eeprom but its not), Resident Evil 2 hangs (same as DK64, it just keeps looping), Rayman 2 crashes (shows ubi logo then hard psp crash). Also games over all run like shit if they read all over the rom in a single frame since my rom cache is too large and I only keep 1 block (thinking doing 4 1MB blocks or 8 512KB blocks, currently 1 4MB block).

Anyways enjoy the shots. This does not mean a new m64 build is comming soon. I am really busy with my compo entries (Actualy behind somewhat). I just was more currious and thats about it for now. M64 is still not dead!

'Bully's very much still in development and slated for release later this year,' a Rockstar spokesperson told us. Although very little has been seen of the Rockstar Vancouver game, it's still managed to follow GTA into the pages of the tabloids thanks to widespread criticism from hair-triggered politicians and publicity-hungry lawyers. This despite a relatively light-hearted premise - a troublesome schoolboy standing up to bullies by pulling pranks.

Rockstar has remained fairly quiet about it, but development has continued undeterred. 'We hope to be showing it to people soon,' a spokesperson told us. To read more of the post and Download, click!

The PlayStation 2 is good enough. It's small and cheap. For us, for manufacturers, we have to invest in a new system, and the PlayStation 3 is a risk,' overseas marketing manager Yoshihito Koyama told gaming blog Kotaku. 'There won't be enough consoles at launch.

Few consoles mean few software sales. We need to wait three or four years.

Maybe 2009-2010 is a good time to release a game for the PS3.' Advertisement SNK Playmore, whose games are published in the UK by Ignition (and, under the terms of an agreement announced Monday, distributed by Atari), has previously said that it plans to support Nintendo Wii.

It's already planning a Metal Slug Anthology, based on the popular 2D shoot-'em-up, and president Ben Herman said the company wanted to use the Wii controller's 'in a new and unique way that enhances the gameplay'. SNK's take on the other next-gen contenders, Sony and Microsoft, was previously unknown, although a recent deal with Ignition to publish future titles in the UK was worded to cover next-generation projects in addition to the likes of KoF: Maximum Impact 2 for PlayStation 2.

You first start out by building the physical side of your mech, mixing and matching parts from 30 pre-designed mechanical beasts and even editing your own emblem.

Once you're satisfied with how things look on the outside, you head on inside, creating movement patterns for your mech by placing special move chips in slots on the mech's CPU. You're free to test your mech out in a test battle, and can make changes if you're unhappy with the result. You don't actually fight battles directly in Carnage Heart Portable. Instead, you create a team of three robots, which then heads off to do automatic warfare against enemies.

The Redick in question is of course J.J., the Duke Blue Devils superstar who has won numerous awards, including multiple player of the year trophies. Add one more honor to the long list of Redick's accolades--cover athlete for 2K Sports' College Hoops 2K7.

Redick, who was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the off-season, will also serve as the game's spokesperson, temporarily putting to rest that his marketability was tarnished by a DUI charge in June. A statement from 2K Sports today also revealed that the game, previously announced only for the Xbox 360, is headed to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and Xbox this fall. The fall release makes it a likely candidate for a launch title on the PS3, which hits US stores on November 17.

Redick, though one of the best players in college basketball history, was often the focus of hatred from fans as the best player for high-profile (and much maligned) Duke University. One of Redick's best friends and main competition last year for player of the year honors, former Gonzaga star Adam Morrison, remains his rival on the digital court, as he is now doing promotional work for Electronic Arts' NBA Live 07.

From the article: 'The PS3 has caused quite a stirring over the past 2 years: from a general excitement to astonishment to disappointment. How did this happen? Let's look at what Sony did right, and what they did wrong, and every shades of gray in between.' When the 3D platformer Daxter saw release on the PSP, it earned high marks for its visual prowess and gameplay that retained much of the appeal of the game's PlayStation 2 parent series, Jak and Daxter.

Now the engine that powered Daxter has been licensed to other companies, Ready at Dawn president and cofounder Didier Malenfant has confirmed for GameSpot. However, exactly how many companies are working with the Daxter engine is unclear at the moment. 'Unfortunately the list of our licensees is confidential and it will be up to them to announce their titles when they see fit,' Malenfant said. Ready at Dawn isn't about to abandon the engine it built, as Malenfant said the developers will use it for their next title.

That doesn't necessarily mean the studio's next game will be more of the same, as the engine is supposedly quite versatile. 'The engine could be used to do a wide variety of third and first person games,' Malenfant noted, 'and it would actually produce quite awesome racing games too.'

Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 2nd, 2006, 23:34 Posted By: wraggster Speaking in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Atari CEO Bruno Bonnell has confirmed that the publisher has no plans to release any PS3 games before 2007. Bonnell said Atari intends to support all three next-gen consoles 'fairly equally', adding, 'It's just that we're lacking information about the PS3 at this stage, because we have basically a rough release date and a high retail price point. 'As far as the Wii and the Xbox 360 go, we'll be there for this season; for PS3, we'll probably have to wait a little later in the year before we release some new titles.' And, according to Bonnell, that means no Atari titles on PS3 until 2007.

The PS3 is slated for a global launch this November, priced at 499 Euro for the 20GB model and 599 Euro for the 60GB version. But Bonnell does not believe that the console's high point puts it at any risk of failure: 'I think that by deciding to put the PS3 at this price, Sony has chosen to really differentiate itself from the other consoles. 'The fact that you have Blu-ray, and the fact that it's HD compatible - all this is driving me to think that Sony is picking up the high-end of the market, the hardcore, passionate fans.

There will be a time they can reduce the price and access more people, but clearly that's a technical choice that Sony has made to be selective on the field at stage one,' he added. Read the full interview to find out why we're likely to see Atari titles arrive on Wii much sooner than they appear on PS3, what the future holds for the company following its recent financial difficulties, and what Bonnell thinks about the new format E3.

Gameplay involves the player blowing himself up in order to try and cause a huge combo. Blowing oneself up takes away from your overall stock, but hopefully the combo is big enough to earn another 'life' or two, or 'extend' gameplay. There is also a time limit, so one can't just sit idle and avoid wasting stock. There are also power-ups called 'quickens,' that speed the player up.

E3 isn't too far from its independent roots. The main difference from the original is the music variable. Much like Lumines, E3 progresses via 'skins,' each one with different backgrounds, speeds, music and sound effects. In addition to that, E3 also adds different explosion types, which can link chains in different ways than in Every Extend. Lastly, E3 adds a 'charge' feature.

By holding down the explosion button, the bomb is charged. The longer the button is held, the bigger the blast radius. More info/buy here -->To read more of the post and Download, click!

Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 3rd, 2006, 20:22 Posted By: wraggster Jez San, founder of the now-defunct Argonaut Software and now involved with PS3 slash 'em-up, Heavenly Sword has said that he thinks the PlayStation 3 will come out on top in the next-gen console war, 'but only because its got Blu-ray.' Speaking to The Guardian, San said: 'I think the combination of a next-generation games machine and a next-generation DVD player that plays full high-definition movies is very compelling, despite the huge price. Remember price is just a function of time and volume.

It doesn't matter what the PS3 comes out at, it's what it gets down to, over time, that's important.' In the same article, market analyst Paul Jackson of Forrester Research agrees with San's comments, saying that Sony stands a good chance because, 'Far more people will go for a PS3 than spend $1,000 on a Blu-ray player.it's a question of how quickly [Sony] gets the price down.' Jackson goes on to echo San's own comments on the importance of price. 'You can't get to the mass market until you get down to $300/£200 [mark].' Jackson then asserts that it's going to be far from an easy ride for Sony, because of the amount of negative press that currently surrounds its next-gen console: 'You can't over-estimate how much negativity there is around the PlayStation 3 in the web.The stories just keep getting worse and worse. They've got a real fight on their hands.'

There's only a few months left until the PS3 hits - and most-likely vanishes from - store shelves, and with likely stock shortages ensuring a Christmas sell-out for the console, it's going to be next year before we get the slightest inkling of who's really going to rule the next gen. But as San points out, the unique appeal of both Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft's machines means it could very well end up being a three-way tie.

Whichever way the next gen cookie crumbles, it's certainly going to be an interesting 12 months. To read more of the post and Download, click! Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 3rd, 2006, 20:27 Posted By: wraggster Word recently reached us that the PlayStation 3 has officially entered production, and in an interview with The Guardian, Sony's president of worldwide studios, Phil Harrison has shed some light on the on-going development work on the console. According to Harrison, 'It's all going well. We are in full swing, from a developer point of view, and over 10,000 developer kits have been shipped.

Developers now have final [PS3] hardware in their hands, though there will be some upgrades to the operating system - there's nothing unusual about that. The new controller is now in developers' hands, so all the pieces of the puzzle are there.' Also in the interview, Harrison comments on the arrival of working Blu-ray drives in the PS3 dev kits, noting that many studios also have blu-ray burners in their PCs, 'so they are now doing their first iterations of games running off discs,' he says. 'Signs are good,' adds Harrison, 'right now there are more than 100 Blu-ray movies available today, in the US. More than 100 games are in development [for the PS3], and all the major third party publishers have pledged their strategic support for the platform.' Sony is gearing up for its next big push for the PS3, which will start at the Tokyo Games Show on September 22, where the father of PlayStation, Ken Kutruagi is scheduled to give the keynote speech.

Hopefully with the appearance or some new game titles and a more solid-looking launch line-up, Sony will be able to make up for the mostly-negative reaction to its showing at this year's E3. To read more of the post and Download, click!

Later this month, Japanese storage specialist Logitec will begin shipping what's touted as the 'world's first Mac-compatible' Blu-ray disc burner. While Blu-ray burners for Windows-based machines have been popping up fairly frequently of late, OS X has been left out in the cold, (but considering the current price of Blu-ray media, we're assuming it hasn't been a total calamity). Nevertheless, the LBD-A2FU2/WM is an external 2x burner that will support DVD-RAM, DVD±R/RW, dual-layer DVD±R, CD-R / RW, and obviously BD-R / BD-RE discs. This FireWire / USB 2.0 combination drive supports PCs and Macs, and it's presumed that Roxio's Toast 7 Titanium software played a role in OS X getting its functionality groove on -- Roxio supposedly began offering Blu-ray drive makers a Mac-friendly version of the software, and sure enough, that's what you'll get with the Logitec. So for all you Mac fans who've felt a bit left behind, you can still get up to speed in just a couple weeks, but know it might cost you more than your MacBook (¥132,000 or $1,148), so you may want to think twice before cruising to Japan to pick one up.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Sony spokesman David Wilson also warned consumers that the leaked version is incomplete and buggy.

'The version of Gangs Of London that you have brought our attention to here is a pre-production 'preview' version,' he revealed. 'It is not the complete game and it has anomalies in the code since it hasn't been through our QA process yet.' Wilson also reasserted his firm's strong opposition to game piracy - and while it's clearly not relevant in this situation, as BitTorrent piracy creates no revenues, he pointed to the oft-cited link between piracy and organised crime. 'We are wholly opposed to game piracy,' he commented. 'Even if people have no sympathy for games developers losing money (though in the end that damages our industry and hurts gamers) - there are proven links that exist between counterfeiting and organised crime and that has some serious consequences (and victims) that people should give due consideration.' Gangs of London, which itself has more than a little bit to do with organised crime and gangland violence, will be out on the PSP later this year, and will allow players to engage in tactical urban combat around the streets of London and the capital's most famous landmarks - all without the aforementioned serious consequences. Maybe another reason why Sony is taking a real look at the Homebrew scene, the warez people spoil it for us all?

Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 3rd, 2006, 20:49 Posted By: wraggster Judge dismisses strip club's accusations of trademark infringement A US district judge has dismissed claims by a Los Angeles strip club that Rockstar Games breached copyright by designing a similar looking virtual strip club for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. According to documents obtained by US website Gamasutra, E.S.S.

Entertainment - owners of The Play Pen club - filed suit against Rockstar in April of last year. The suit claimed that the strip club in GTA, which is titled The Pig Pen, represented trademark infringement, due to its similar name, logo, awning and 'Totally nude' advertising slogan. Rockstar conceded that its artists worked from photographs of real life LA locations - including the Play Pen - when designing the game, but argued that they 'changed the names, building designs and overall look and feel of the locations. To make them fit the virtual, cartoon-style world of San Andreas and the series' irreverent tone.' Rockstar also referred to the lawsuit MCA Records successfully defended over the song Barbie Girl, when the judge ruled that trademark rights 'do not entitle the owner to quash an unauthorised use of the mark by another who is communicating ideas or expressing points of view.'

Judge Margaret Morrow agreed with Rockstar's argument, ruling that, 'Defendants' use of the Play Pen trade dress and trademark bears some artistic relevance to the game, and does not explicitly mislead consumers as to the source or content of the game.' Rockstar, Judge Morrow said, was therefore entitled to claim a First Amendment defence. Perhaps the controvery surrounding GTA: San Andreas will finally die down now, following both this legal decision and the ruling by the FTC over the Hot Coffee scandal.

But chances are Rockstar will be in the news again soon - the company recently confirmed that controversial school-based game Bully is on track for release by the end of the year.

Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 4th, 2006, 04:02 Posted By: BelmontSlayer The original page is here, Here's what I could translate from the page. (My Japanese is a little rusty) If this translation is used elsewhere please give credit to me (BelmontSlayer), as this took almost 45 minutes!

Japanese To English Tranlation When I first made my CPS1 emulator, the emulation of the Musashi M68000 (The core of MAME) wasn't running so good. After figuring out how the core operated I was able to emulate the remodeling of C68K. Even more suprising was that sound worked quite well! When i decided to try CPS2, the processing of sprites was actually easier than CPS1.

Sprite proccessing is a big factor in emulation. The PSP has 32MB of memory, but the OS takes 8MB by itself, so only 24MB memory can be used. Because 4MB is used for the emulator, you can only use 20MB as the data area for the ROM of the game. But, memory is not enough alone.

If there is no XOR table for the encoding cancellation of ROM, its not very usefull. I tried using sound with the emulator. As for BGM (Background Music) there is no problem, but because the SE (Sound Effects) cracks somewhat, it becomes a matter of concern. I tried lowering the volume, but it isn't solved that simply. Also, there are several sprites displaying strangely. This is also a problem unless it is solved.

I tried using the same cache system as my NEOGEO emulator, and was able to move in-game. But, according to my expectations that's not good enough. Because the emulator is slowly reading the cache file, the game play very slow. The reason is that smooth animation when using sprite cache is not effective.

The CPS2 emulation is a small advancement. But throwing out the project halfway, without a regret is kind of hard. My motivation is slowly declining. (NJ laughs) I still haven't decided if I will release this or not. End Of Tranlation So hopefully he will release the source code.But it seems as if he thinks smooth emulation isn't possible. -- Update -- A test build has been posted on the website. You can download it by following the link at the top of this news article.

Just a note, Make sure you run your rom zip though the included converter. Games will not run without the cache file. To read more of the post and Download, click!

It's said that in Heroes we'll be experiencing a brand new MoH single-player campaign, although EA has opted to re-introduce a number of lead characters from previous games in the series. The publisher explains: 'Take on the role of Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson - star of both the original Medal of Honor, and the classic Medal of Honor Frontline - in an untold chapter of his time in Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. Play as Sergeant John Baker, from Medal of Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough, and sabotage German defenses on the Italian coastline to help the invasion forces crack Hitler's iron hold on Europe!' Advertisement:And finally: 'Don the officer's cap of Lieutenant William Holt from Medal of Honor European Assault - and return to the Ardennes Forest during the Battle of the Bulge to complete unfinished business for the OSS.'

Throughout the single-player action we will, apparently be unlocking 20-plus 'classic' characters that can be used in Heroes' multiplayer mode. The game features a total of six multiplayer modes and 15 multiplayer maps, supporting up to a pretty impressive 32 players in wireless shootouts.

In addition, 'Gamers can play with up to 8 others across the room in a local impromptu game' and 'Quickplay' missions in skirmish game mode, allow players to jump right into the action or to create customized mission scenarios for added re-playability.'

From the article: 'Even if Sony is failing to endear itself to the media, to analysts or to gamers at the moment, that's no reason for the reality of the next generation console battle to be ignored. Judging from reports in the past fortnight, it would be easy for an outside observer to assume that it's all over already; the media paints a picture of Microsoft being victorious before the first shot is even fired, with Sony's overloaded battlecruiser set to sink before it even leaves port.'

First off, not all original Xbox games work on the next-gen system. And the ones that do typically need to be replayed from the beginning by the gamer, as there's no port on the 360 for the old system's memory cards.

With its upcoming PlayStation 3, Sony is promising to address those problems. It is aiming at making virtually every original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 game backward compatible on the PS3 from the get-go, and according to a FAQ on the official PS3 Web site, it has the memory card issue hammered out as well. 'To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk,' the site reads. 'This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your PlayStation 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card.'

However, the FAQ doesn't mention if Sony will be releasing such an adapter itself. Currently it's possible to move original Xbox game saves to an Xbox 360 with the aid of third-party peripherals.

Rockstar's Vancover studio has been busy completing the game, which casts you as a brawny schoolboy at school-of-hard-knocks-to-the-head, Bullworth Academy.

When we asked if Bully has undergone any changes in response to the controversy, in which the game was condemned by anti-bulling campaigners, Rockstar told us 'you're going to have to wait and see'. Many gamers expected Rockstar to axe Bully's school-set mischief, after igniting a storm of backlash. Responses to Bully's appearance 12 months ago included youth group Peaceaholics staging a protest outside of Rockstar's headquarters, as well as infamous US shock-lawyer Jack Thompson branding it a 'Columbine simulator'. Keith Vaz is also attempting to ban the game in the UK.

Rockstar has invited campaigners to see the game for themselves, and told BBC online last year that Bully 'should be judged in the same way as any other work of fiction,' adding that 'people should not judge what is work in progress'. Our Rockstar spokesman was unable to confirm when we'll get to see Bully again, but don't worry, we're already busy hunting down new info for your eyes. To read more of the post and Download, click!

If this happen a workaround is ejecting the memory stick and putting it in again. As I sit here this morning. Searching for news to post on my little corner of the web. I'm Browsing all my source sites, that normally bare trustworthy news, and i came across an article called is sony in big trouble. With a picture of a graveyard resting behind it. The picture was self evident in its own, that the ps3 was as good as dead.

And ill admit like most of you, It gave me a warm bubbly feeling, thinking of a next generation that wasn't ruled by sony yet again, especially when you consider the drastic darth vader like personality that has came over sony since the ps2's wide spread domination of the market. Saying things like, yes its expensive. But you will pay whatever we ask because were sony. This new more confident and some what arrogant face of sony hasn't been accepted well among many, But that got me to thinking. I went to my collection of games which i keep in an entertainment center all to itself. Its a lifetime's collection everything i've ever owned (game wise) that haven't traded or given away to friends. And I noticed something.

A great deal of my most beloved and cherished games are psone and ps2 titles. Of course there are many game cube games and a few x-box games. But a very large number of my game collection are playstation titles. From final fantasy.

To kingdom hearts,castlevania,metal gear, legacy of kain, area 51, god of war, and even dragon quest 8, Those are just playstation 2 series and titles. I could go on, But the point is. Everyone has lost faith in a company that used to be our friend. Sony used to understand its fans. They used to give us what we wanted even if we didn't know we wanted it.

And I do suppose there are many valid reasons for us to distrust sony these days, they threaten our scene. Force us to update our consoles offering us little in return, more or less, saying if you want to play our latest software, you will update!! This hasn't went over very well with the majority of the gaming population to say the least. But the question still remains, That sony is suffering, not financially, But there fan base has become alienated from the very creators that brought them so much happiness.

Is this justified? Does sony really deserve the massive cold shoulder there getting from its fans, just because there business tactics have been what some would call ruthless? Or maybe anyone under the kind of pressure sony has been under would crack, The business is made to look friendly in the magazines. Its made to look like a representation, of what we would picture as a dignified board meeting with the often disagreement that is laughably resolved over a cup of coffee and a nice chat.

But in reality, with each generation, with each new wave of technology that comes about, each company puts there very reputation on the line, there life blood if you will. When a console fails, its a massive loss for there respective developer. And not just ouch they hurt there pockets kind of loss, were talking bankrupts, massive lay offs to cut finances, recovery periods, And un predictable reputation damage.

(look at what happened to nintendo the once ruler of the VG world) The reality Is. There are two sides to every company. The side the fans see, and the business side. The problem with sony is there business side had become the side there showing more of lately. There cut through tactics may work on there competition, But not there fans. Perhaps the media is to blame, its always been said the pen is mightier then the sword.

A little bad press will go a long long way, Sometimes even in the news, Its best to take what you hear, even if you know its true, with a grain of salt. Sometimes the way a message is delivered can be more important then the message itself. In conclusion, I wrote this article because i was really on the anti sony bandwagon for a long time, But i believe this whole anti sony mentality has went to far, The media scares us with an uncertain future, But other then some horrible business moves with the psp.

Sony has yet to truly betray us. You must realize guys. They don't call them the friendly console competitions. They call them the console wars, Who knows how bad press gets leaked, and who was paid what to leak it, Im not defending sony, Im only not kicking them when there down, You don't kick a company that has brought you so much happiness in the past. When there down. If we lose sony, we will have lost more then just another console developer. In many ways they changed the business for the better.

ZeroGS KOSMOS 0.95 written by Zerofrog is out! This is the plugin of choice for people using graphics cards supporting Pixel Shader 2.0 or 3.0. ZeroGS KOSMOS has greatly improved over its previous release, now it is significantly faster, an example would be 'Final Fantasy XII', which is now 3x faster ingame! Less graphical flaws are present with many games looking absolutely stunning, and even the least capable PS2.0 supporting cards, such as the nVidia 5xxx series will show little to no loss in quality. ZeroGS KOSMOS also supports the MTGS (Multi Threaded GS) feature of PCSX2, this allows users with Dual Core or Multi CPU machines to get even more speed out of PCSX2, however until the next release of PCSX2, the current MTGS issues will persist. ZeroGS KOSMOS supports various new features including video recording, Bilinear Filtering, 2 and 4xAA, wireframe mode and more!

Note that the newest DirectX Runtime is required to run ZeroGS KOSMOS. EDIT: It looks like ATI Radeon 9600-9800, ATI X800 series of graphics cards are having minor problems running under 0.95.

• Water effects have been improved, with a 'choppy-looking surface' and weather affecting vehicle handling and swimming. • Helicopters control smoothly • Rockstar Leeds has been listening to YOUR thoughts on Liberty City Stories, like controlling issues, swimming and flying etc. • As you probably know, the biker gang makes a return to Vice City. But, according to this article Big Mitch Baker will be the leader again. So expect to see him in the game! • In one screenshot we see a silenced SMG. Something I didn't notice before that can be and seen in some screenshots, is that Vic has a tattoo on his right arm.

He is after all a US Marine, so chances are he has this from the beginning of the game. We'll have to wait for more info in the coming weeks to see if there's any word on vehicle or character customization. Screenshots Via Comments To read more of the post and Download, click!

This is an early version of a game I started yesterday called 'Freefall' it's the first game I ever attempted to mak for the psp. It's in lua so you'll need lua player.

The controls are real simple, press L to move left, and R to move right. Even after letting go of a button you will continue to slowly 'sway' in that direction, so pressing both L+R will slow down your falling, and steady you out. The objective is to try and avoid the black bars, it's still in an early stage, but the core of the game is very solid, the movement is really smooth, and the controls are really responsive. The only thing that's really wrong, is after you collide with a bar, you may have to press start a couple times to continue, I'm not sure what it is that's making it so glitchy there, but there is nothing that affects the gameplay. I plan on adding a menu, some sound effects, and fixing the game over screen.

Other than that, it's pretty solid. Download and Give Feedback Via Comments via To read more of the post and Download, click!

Well, not really, but it does look like Sony will require an adapter on the PlayStation 3 to be able to read memory cards from previous PlayStation consoles, as specified by their site. Not, not really a big deal at all unless they act all, um, Sony on us and don't bundle the adapter with the console. But we'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt though, as we wouldn't want to unduly accuse them of preparing to gouge consumers on a yet-to-be-released console, right?

As if working on Every Extend Extra wasn't enough to keep a man busy, Q designer, director and planner, Reo Yonaga, has not one, but two versions of the little-known puzzle game, Gunpey, in the works.

Originally released for the import-only WonderSwan back in 1999, Gunpey is a quality puzzle game that never really got a fair shot, due to the simple fact that the system never saw a domestic release. Still, as with Every Extend Extra, Yonaga (a die-hard fan of Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi) saw plenty of potential in yet another previously established concept, and thought it would be the perfect game to reimagine, Q-style. The basic premise, as with most of Q's games, is disarmingly simple.

A variety of angular shapes and bars ascend over five vertical columns. Your sole task is to push up or drop these shapes in order to connect a complete line from left to right. It seems a simple enough task, until you actually begin to play.

While beginners can manage a connected row ably enough, as the tempo increases, and as the shapes begin to fill the screen, dropping bars and managing each of the five columns becomes challenging work. Players can flip-flop a shape, similar to how you can vertically switch blocks in Q's puzzler, Meteos.

If the piece you need to complete a line is farther down the column than you'd like, you can bring it up, and flip the desired line with whatever happens to be above it, forcing the other one lower. Your game ends if you allow the lines to reach the top, a la Tetris and most puzzle games.

But when i do play with them the Right Shoulder button is becoming a real pain with sticking, so much that on some games it renders the game unplayable, i did some ivestigation and found the same button on my homebrew PSP did the same and infact it was worse.

Basically R7 looks like having greater compatibility, more speed increases, and if all goes well the new release will be out by next weekend. For those of you who like the juicy details. More R7 Optimisations It's been a while since my last post, but I've still been hard at work with various optimisations for Daedalus R7.

Although my main focus is on improving the dynamic recompiler, I've been looking at optimising a couple of other areas that I noticed were fairly expensive. The texture cache is one of the areas that I spent time tuning this week. This cache is used to avoid converting textures from the native n64 formats to psp formats every frame. I made a couple of fixes to improve the hashing function which gives much faster lookups in certain situations (such as tiled backdrops). I also provided an option to change the frequency at which the texture cache checks for updates to the textures. Many roms look fine when this check is entirely disabled, and this can give quite a nice speed boost.

My main focus has continued to be on the dynamic recompiler. I've made a couple more bugfixes in this area.

One bugfix involved detecting when roms were using self-modifying code. The fix involved dumping the contents of the dynarec cache so that the code is correctly regenerated for the updated instructions. This fix solves a couple of issues I was seeing with Quest64, and I'm sure it will help improve compatibility with a number of other roms too. The other dynarec issue I fixed was related to the way I was handling certain types of branch instructions. The MIPS processor has a set of 'branch likely' instructions which work slightly differently to regular branches and so I handle them separately in the dynamic recompiler.

It turned out that I had forgotten to link together code fragments when they exited through a branch likely instruction. This fix gives a nice little speedup. The biggest bit of new development I've been doing on the dynarec is on optimising for various situations where I can determine the contents of a given register at the time I'm compiling the code. As an example, many roms use the following sequence to load an integer value from memory at a specific address: LUI $t0, 0x8033 // Load Upper Immediate - i.e.

Load t0 with 0x80330000 LW $t0, 0x1234($t0) // Load Word - i.e. Load t0 with the value at 0x80331234 Previously I'd generate code for both of these instructions on the PSP. The LUI instruction is easy (if t0 is cached on the PSP then this is just one instruction). The LW is a lot more tricky. I have to call a function to convert the address on the n64 (0x80331234 in this case) to the address in the emulated memory on the PSP.

Then I have to read from that address, or trigger an exception in the emulator if the memory address is invalid. With the changes I've just made, when I encounter the LUI instruction (or other instructions involving loading constant values into registers) I keep track of the fact that I've loaded t0 with 0x80330000. When I come to process the LW instruction, I can now determine that the desired address is 0x80331234.

I can then map that address directly to the required location on the PSP, avoiding a function call in the generated code. By avoiding the function call I no longer need to flush cached registers back out to memory.

Also, because I can tell in advance that the address lies in RAM (and isn't referencing a hardware register for instance) then I can also omit the code testing for an exception. Finally, in situations like the example above, I can don't need to generate any code for the initial LUI (as the register is immediately overwritten with the loaded value.) In summary this is a very nice optimisation - it generates fewer instructions (reducing the size of the dynarec code), it avoids unnecessarily flushing out cached registers, it avoids generating exception handling code, and it can eliminate redundant instructions (the initial LUI). In the best case, for 2 source instructions it will generate just 3 output instructions, compared to 12-13 for the unoptimised case. Unfortunately this approach only works with load and store instructions where the address can be determined in advance, but from the roms I've examined so far around 10-15% of the load/store instructions can be optimised in this way, which is enough to give a measurable benefit. I'm going to spend the rest of this week seeing which other parts of the dynarec engine can benefit from similar approaches. I have a couple of other features to implement (configurable controllers etc), if that all goes to plan I'll try and prepare R7 for a release next weekend.

Well, fear not - well, not too much - as the Japanese giant has confirmed in an official FAQ that punters will be able to stick old PS2 game saves (and, it appears, PSone game saves too) onto the next-gen console. However, in its spillage of this slice of information in the FAQ, which is on Playstation.com, the company has stated that extra hardware will be required to move PS2 game saves to PS3 - due to the old memory cards not being physically compatible with the new machine. In answer to the question, 'How do I save my PlayStation 2 Memory Card information to PlayStation 3?' , Sony says: 'To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk. This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your PLAYSTATION 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card.'

Quite how we'll get our hands on this PS2/PSone memory card adaptor is - as there's no further official word on the product - currently a matter of debate. It may be offered out-of-the-box with PS3, or - and the cynic within reckons this more likely - it'll be offered as an optional purchase. We'll just have to wait and see.

During's Konami's pre-E3 conference this year, the company announced a prequel to its popular Silent Hill horror franchise, Silent Hill Origins for PSP. The company has released a trailer and some concept artwork, but has yet to show the game in playable form or release very much information. I recently had the chance to chat with Konami producer William Oertel about the Climax-developed title, to find out a bit about how the game ties into the Silent Hill world, how it will play compared to other series entries, and the challenges of making the game for the PSP platform. Shack: Can you give us an overview of the game?

William Oertel: So, Silent Hill Origins. It's a prequel to Silent Hill 1.

The main character's name is Travis O'Grady. He is a truck driver running his regular route, and eventually he gets trapped in Silent Hill. Because of what he's experienced in his own life--well, Silent Hill is all about character development, and what characters have to go through--so at this time, the town is ready for this guy, or he is ready for the town, so to speak. He finds himself in Silent Hill, and he will have to get out, so the player will explore the town, find different areas, and eventually escape. At the time time, they're also putting events in motion that tie in with Silent Hill 1.

There are some characters that cross over: Alessa, Dahlia, Dr. Kaufmann are the primary ones. In that respect it's still pretty much a separate game, separate story, but it does reference the key events in Silent Hill 1, so it'll slot right in there.

Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 7th, 2006, 20:16 Posted By: wraggster Recently we have had 2 very bogus emulator announcements, the port of Ultrahle the Nintendo 64 emulator to the PSP and the next day a PSOne emulator for the PSP, both turned out to be bogus and there was a theory that both news were just done for hits and may have been started by those particular sites (ive no proof but it certainly looked dodgy) Anyway today a French team have posted that they are to release a PSone emulator before the end of the summer Heres the translated news article. Everyone knows that Sony will leave a PSone emulator for its PSP and that one will need upgrader to make use of it. PSP-GENERATION has just obtained exclusive information: another PSone emulator is under development, and will leave perhaps even before that Sony.

This last will be free and function with the images of your own plays PSX. I would not quote any source (secrecy obliges) but I can say to you to have already had an outline of what this future emulator will give. A version beta, not forcing put in public domain, should be testable in an immediate future. In the announced functionalities, this emulator will propose: - The support of the sound - At least 50FPS - The support of the images compressed in DAX or CIS - Management of the memory boards of the PSX (virtually) - The support of WiFi for the multijouor mode - Other functions will come to be grafted progressively. This should be born before the end of the summer and, at all events, before the exit of the official emulator. In any case it is what is announced This news was made with an aim of informing you of this news, far from being alleviating, and reassuring the owners of PSP not wanting upgrader. There you have it, fake or not we dont know, lets be honest with the right team and source code its very possible but this one is going to be a wait and see.

Eurogamer reports that the system will feature backwards compatibility with memory cards as well as games.

From the article: 'An update to Sony's PlayStation 3 website has revealed that you will be able to use older PlayStation memory cards with PlayStation 3 - providing you buy an adapter. An entry in the official PS3 FAQ states: 'To use saved data on a PlayStation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk.'

' Microsoft could have really used something like that for the Xbox/360 switchover. Relatedly, Sony is looking ahead. Way ahead, even to their next console.

Firstly forgive the rather startling picture, It seemed to fit the point of this article, Do read on. The very word for some brings about thoughts of your favorite game,program, or application, The scene has grown so much in the last few years.

It truly is a wonderful time to own your favorite console, So many talented developers, So much to choose from, and all for the cost of absolutely nothing, These talented people, create there works of wonder for little more then recognition of there talent. Its true, the homebrew scene has become so vast, its now a very competitive field to develop for. So many talented developers with all that competition only breads more creative intellectual properties, only making the scene better for everyone.

How is all this possible? How can such a great thing happen. And cost nothing?! Well the truth is. In many respects, It does cost something, Those talented developers work tirelessly pulling down long hours, toiling away to creating something wonderful, there labor pays this cost for everyone.

And then they turn around and give us there creations, there (magnum opus) if you will, Its a shining example of how strong and how loved the homebrew scene really is. And we give them in return, praise and support, and well wishes. It fuels them, our hopes and ideas, help them gather the strength to continue there endeavors, and often they return with something even more amazing, down the road. Yes its true even you and I play our part in this scene too.

Our thoughts and opinions, Our praise and support. Believe me these well wishes are much appreciated from our hard working devs. In fact the homebrew scene would be a shining example of a true utopian society, In many ways it already is.

But the truth is There is a dark side to the homebrew scene as well. This dark side of the scene prevents us from reaching our perfect goal. It plagues us with setbacks, and scares of legal issues, in fact forcing many talented developers to leave the scene out of fear of legal retribution. That's right. Im talking about Software piracy, Warez, ISO'S, what many people don't understand, Is there is a fine line drawn between our homebrew scene, and software piracy. While our homebrew scene is frowned upon by corporation console developers. We protect our scene by keeping it legal, Meaning that every piece of homebrew we serve is completely (Homemade) without a trace of commercial intellectual property contained within.

However that line between homebrew and commercial software is becoming finer every day, as homebrew developers become more talented, we are now seeing commercial quality, completely legal homebrew more and more. But there is a dark side to our scene too.

Call it lack of creativity, or just laziness. But some Developers have now saw fit to use bits and pieces of commercial property in there projects, make no mistake this is an illegal move, And damaging beyond words to our scene. From fragments of commercial property found in our homebrew. To Iso loaders, Make no mistake our scene is under the microscope. Big corporations would love for our scene to just dry up and go away, it would force more people to buy commercial software as inflated prices. The proof is out there, Sony discovered commercial software imbedded in a certain firmware emulation application and issued a cease and desist order to its respective developer.

Make no mistake. They would love to (end) our scene.

People must be aware if they could legally end our scene they would have, But by keeping the scene legal we keep homebrew safe for everyone! Imagine a world without homebrew.

Its hard to imagine isn't it? We have become so attached to the idea of just downloading our latest favorite apps and games and playing them for free, that its almost impossible to imagine going back to a time without this awesome scene. Realize that things like iso loaders that load commercial software do a lot more then encourage one to download illegal warez (stolen commercial property) They damage our scene buy putting us in the hot seat. All that needs to be done to shut any site down is some mistake to be caught under that micro scope and a cease and desist order from some corporation and poof, the scene is no more.

So keep in mind the next time you see or hear about a piece of warez. Take these things into account. Warez is commercial software that has been stolen, leaked or copied, realize that even though it may seem harmless. That by downloading and playing it you put you self at risk too. Make no mistake (it is theft). And if your caught, they wont just fine you the price of the game itself.

They will fine you according the the copyright laws under which it is protected. (believe me its a very stiff fine) And that is just on individual accounts, Servers and networks get fined individually for each piece of copyrighted material that is found on there servers. Its no wonder warez servers are always going down. In closing I would like to say, I wrote this article to wake people up. Not that everyone needs wakening up. We have many good honest people in this scene. But there are still those out there who would cheat our scene and harm us, by seeking or distributing stolen commercial property.

And in the long run they cheat more then the scene, they cheat there selves. By damaging a scene you love your only hurting yourself. Thoughts opinions.

Sony is launching its first WiFi broadband communication and entertainment device to capitalize on the growth of wireless Internet access. The new mylo™ personal communicator is capable of operating in any open 802.11b wireless network, often found on college campuses, in public spaces and within private homes around the country. This product is designed for people who use instant messaging as a primary form of communication and networking for their social life.

The name mylo stands for “my life online” and the communicator lets you use instant messaging, browse the Internet, listen to music, send emails and view photos concurrently. Small enough for a pocket or purse, the slim, oblong-shaped device features a 2.4 inch color LCD (measured diagonally) with a slide out QWERTY keyboard for comfortable and quick thumb typing. The device, available in black or white, comes embedded with popular instant messaging services: the Google Talk™ instant messaging service, Skype and Yahoo! These services are free and the product does not require initial computer setup or a monthly service contract. “The mylo personal communicator puts the fun parts of a computer in the palm of your hand,” said John Kodera, director of product marketing for personal communication devices at Sony Electronics. “It’s ideal for people who want to stay connected to their online friends and family, but not be weighed down by a PC or buffeted by charges for IM and texting on cell phones.” I wonder if a PSP2 would feature a keyboard like this new hardware from Sony?

Heres whats new. Teen pop star siblings Aly & AJ are the latest musical stars to become attached to the ongoing Sims franchise. The duo's popular single, 'Chemicals React,' has been reworked for The Sims 2 Pets. Aly & AJ re-recorded the song in the native tongue of the Sims especially for the new game. Additionally they filmed a video to the song that will be featured in the game. 'We are HUGE fans of The Sims, so it was really cool to be tapped to provide music for their latest project, The Sims 2 Pets,' said AJ. 'When we told EA that we could speak Simlish they were really psyched!

It was fun to reinterpret our song for The Sims and ultimately, our fans!' Aly goes one step further and actually draws a correlation between the duo's music and the interactive world of the Sims. 'One of the things I have always liked about The Sims games is that they are very inclusive, people can play out real storylines from their lives—like a romantic relationship that's really gotten stressful—and there isn't a lot of judgment.

We try to do the same thing with our music, give people something that they can relate to, so they think, 'I really get that, I've been through it!' ' The Simlish version of 'Chemicals React' is included in The Sims 2 Pets console games, the PSP version and in the PC expansion pack.

Since then it has grown through expansion packs and a proper sequel, titled Dungeon Siege II. The series will branch off from its native platform this Fall, though, with the release of Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony for the PSP. The game made its public debut at last year's E3 and showed a good deal of promise, even though the build on display had more than 50% development time left to go.

The team behind Throne of Agony, SuperVillain Studious, has made significant strides since then. To show off the team's progress, publisher 2K games crashed the IGN offices recently with a build much closer to the finished product.

Throne of Agony made an impression during E3, and it makes an even bigger one today given the enhancements added by the team since the game's debut. And it's not just spit and polish, either, but a slew of hefty additions in terms of actual content.

Took the PC by storm, is boldly slapping up the Xbox 360, offering further PC adventures with expansion pack Extraction Point and is now confirmed for Sony's next-gen console, the PS3, CVG can exclusively reveal today.

Following hot on the heels of the announcement of F.E.A.R. Multiplayer for free, CVG's investigative reporters have learned that the mighty shooting franchise, which offers superb slow mo gun battles and pant-wetting Japanese-influenced horror, will be marching straight onto Sony's next-gen console. No further details were forthcoming from our sources, but we'd have to hope the game would power onto the PS3 on or around the time of launch - and there's even the possibility that it might make use of the PS3's funky tilting controller for some of the game's crunching melee moves. Hopefully it'll make good use of the PS3's online capabilities too, offering PS3 owners a chance to indulge in splendid multiplayer shooting. None of that's confirmed of course, as we're writing it wearing our hat of enormous speculation, but it swells the shooting credentials of Sony's next-gen console, joining other big hitters like Valve's Half-Life 2. When we contacted Vivendi we were met with a firm 'no comment' on F.E.A.R. PS3, still, it's exciting news indeed and we'll bring you more on the game as it shivers in.

The game's main character is 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins, who must defend himself against school bullies at a fictional U.S.

Boarding school called Bullworth Academy, while dealing with characters ranging from nerds and jocks to authoritarian prefects. Weapons included baseball bats that break after several blows, stink bombs and bags of marbles that when strategically thrown will lay flat most pursuers. 'Finally 'Bully' can speak for itself.

People can look at the game and see what it is and what it's not,' company spokesman Rodney Walker said. In March, Florida's Miami-Dade County School Board called on retailers not to sell the game to minors and required the school district to warn parents about potentially harmful effects of playing violent video games. In a recent demonstration of 'Bully', which Rockstar said has not yet been rated, the fighting scenes did not include blood or result in the death of characters. 'We think the school environment is a universal experience that so many people relate to,' said Walker, who added that criticism of 'Bully' is unique in that it had preceded the release of the game, which has been kept under tight wraps.

Controversial games are nothing new at Rockstar, a unit of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (TTWO.O: Quote, Profile, Research), which is the developer of the best-selling urban action game 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'. That game -- in which the main character robs and kills his way across a mythical U.S.

State called San Andreas to save his family and take control of the streets -- got caught in a scandal over an explicit sex scene known as 'hot coffee,' which could be unlocked with a downloaded file.

According to breaking news from Japan, two major RPG projects have been canned by From Software, both slated for the new Sony machine. Unconfirmed reports state From has pulled the plug on two RPG projects for PlayStation 3, the tentatively-titled 'Dark RPG' and another unnamed project.

From had committed the games to support Sony's early PlayStation 3 push on several occasions. We expect the latest issue of Famitsu to confirm the cannings. The PlayStation 3 has suffered multiple losses as publishers back away from supporting the project in its infancy, concerns likely triggered by supply problems endured by the Xbox 360 dooming much of the launch window software and gouging gaping holes in R&D spend. It would seem that Webzen's Endless Saga was pulled for PlayStation 3 in recent days. WWE Smackdown 2007 also rattled the can and it can only be assumed that more will follow. Atari recently raised the issue of PS3 ROI (return on investment) concern from publishers, bemoaning Sony's apparent secrecy on planned shipping figures during the initial phase of PlayStation 3 sales, with CEO Bruno Bonell stating, '.we're lacking information about the PS3 at this stage, because we have basically a rough release date and a high retail price point.'

You've probably read something about needing an adapter.

It all sounds like a bit of a mess. The amazing non-news doing the rounds right now details how the PlayStation 3 cannot accept PlayStation 1 and 2 memory cards, something we've known since E3 2005.

Sony has taken the step of announcing that it will be making available an adapter to enable users to transfer save files from cards to the PS3's hard drive. For some reason, this has caused outrage in some circles. 'PS3 Digs Itself a Deeper Grave, Requires Adapter for Backwards Compatibility' exclaims Gizmodo. The site continues, 'In the biggest twist of the year, including last year, Sony has made another bad decision regarding the PlayStation 3. Claims have been running rampant that this console would be able to play both PS2 and PSOne games—it still will be able to, but require an additional adapter that will likely cost a kidney or two.'

This spin seems to have been cast aloft as The Truth by many blind followers, a shame given from what SPOnG can see, Sony's only doing good things in the BC field. To read more of the post and Download, click!

This isn't a cart racer per se. Rather than boarding a vehicle, the apes equip themselves with tires and an engine, then speed down the track like a car would.

The game will offer 46 such 'vehicles,' each with two forms, one for performing drifts and one specializing in acceleration. If it can capture the humor of the Ape Escape series, we're up for it!

When Sony first unveiled the PSP's GPS peripheral earlier this year, it announced a new version of Hot Shots Golf to go along with it.

But the popular golf series won't be alone, as another compatibile game has just been revealed. Japanese game site Impress Watch reveals today that Sega's Homestar will support the peripheral as well.

The planetarium software will use the GPS receiver to get the player's location and show a replica of the current night sky. Announced late last month, Homestar is an edutainment title that turns your PSP into a planetarium. The title includes five million stars and objects, and even offers fifteen guided tours of the heavens.

Planetarium creator Takayuki Ohira oversaw development. Homestar is set for Japanese release on 10/19.

Unfortunately, we don't have a final release date for the GPS device, but we can perhaps count on a release close to that. To read more of the post and Download, click!

Hey, i just finished porting this connect 4 game, you can choose 1 or 2 players, as you can probably tell [if you try this game] that i'm not much on graphics, but you might be able to kill a few minutes with this game: that's pretty much what it looks like, except now there is a little icon on the right side of the board to tell you which player's turn it is (not really needed in singleplayer because the computer player responds right away). Hope you like it.

A little update on my GPS/Mapviewer project. It is slowly shaping up in to something useful. I did the first 'field testing' of the mapviewer's gps option tonite. The link below points to a small video clip, captured with my casio camera.

It is a bit shacky, but it is hard to drive and focus the camera at the same time;-) Here is another video - in a daylight. I changed the cursor for directional arrow for gps mode.

I guess to make it really cool I need to turn the map and not the center arrow;-) I still need to patch a number of bugs and build some content before a public release. So please be patient;-) PS: PM if you are interested in helping to beta-test the viewer and build content for it (POI, custom maps, tutorials, documentation, etc).

This project has been ongoing for some time now, but each release is looking drastically improved over the last. The latest version features a ton of new eye candy, from weather effects to new enemies and game animation sequences, and also has many updates to the level wrappers and boss systems.

The game is a blast; look forward to a full release soon, and mad props to Arguru for all his hard work! New features/fixes in Release 3 include.

Weather effects system (map opcodes: r0 = no rain, r1 = rain, r2 = snow). - Proper intro/title sequence. - Proper game over sequence.

- Alien mini-spiders / Eggs (spider breed) enemies. - 'Walker' enemies.

- Big / small spike ball enemies. - Boss system (only one boss defined 'storm gauntlet', map opcode: 'f0'). Don't use it yet. - Level wraps nearly finished.

Submit News and Releases and Contact Us for August 10th, 2006, 17:39 Posted By: wraggster Atari's forthcoming horror-fest Alone in the Dark has been delayed. Originally expected toward the end of this year, the publisher's revealed that it now won't be out until the company's 2008 fiscal year - so between April 2007 and March 2008.

Mentioning the new target period for the title in a recent conference call with analysts, Atari boss Bruno Bonnell explained 'We are announcing effectively Alone in the Dark as one of our franchisees for the future'. He also implied the publisher has big plans for the franchise: 'We actually are extending Alone in the Dark to some other formats right now we have not even announced yet. I don't want to be forward, but it will be announced shortly.' According to a report on GameSpot, Brunnell went on to re-affirm the delayed Alone in the Dark is in development for Xbox 360 and PS3, but made no mention of the previously announced PC version. This has led to speculation that the PC version of the game has been binned, but Atari's UK arm has informed us this morning that the PC interation is 'still confirmed'.

Atari's Alone in the Dark game marks the return of the survival horror granddaddy, and this modern reinvention of the series will, hopefully, be scary, spooky, and make us fill our pants with big poopie. The present-day setting of New York's Central Park plays host to the title's grisly events. To read more of the post and Download, click!

Billed as a 'blend of epic military action and unnerving horror,' Resistance pits you against a bunch of invading aliens, in an alternate-reality 1950s England. Along with the usual single-player offerings, co-op and multiplayer modes are also touted, along with online campaigns that cater up to 32 players.

As you can see from these screenshots, it's also very, very pretty. And that's all you need to know.

Fall of Man is expected on Sony's next-gen console somewhere around its November 17 launch window and with Half-Life 2 and F.E.A.R. Also coming to PS3, it seems shooter fans will have plenty to get their teeth into. We'll bring you more from the Resistance front line as it arrives. To read more of the post and Download, click!

Legends, due out on PS2 in 'early November', promises 'a selection of the biggest household names in musical history' including Elton John, The Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, The Jackson 5, John Lennon and Nirvana. There are no details on any planned tech upgrades to the game, but these SingStar updates, as we all know well by now, generally consist of new songs rather than new features. Still, there's a healthy mix on the track-list, parts of which have been announced today. The full list will be announced nearer release, presumably, but in the meantime we're told to expect: Elton John - 'Rocket Man'; The Beach Boys - 'Surfin' USA'; The Police - 'Roxanne'; Johnny Cash - 'Ring of Fire'; The Jackson 5 - 'I Want You Back'; Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got To Do With It?' ; John Lennon - 'Imagine'; Nirvana - 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'; Ben E King - 'Stand By Me'; David Bowie - 'Life On Mars?'

; The Righteous Brothers - 'Unchained Melody'. Along with a host of others to make up the traditional 30. And, as usual, the game will be released as a standalone pack and available as a bundle with two SingStar microphones and a USB converter. To read more of the post and Download, click!

Though we already knew that some sort of mysterious game from Surreal was coming, what we didn't know was that the title would be a new IP.

IGN follows the story by referencing this latest help wanted ad by the company: 'This is new, exciting IP, on a new technology base, with a concept which will blow you away.

With new game modes, graphics and features, Mercury Meltdown will offer a variety of enhancements over the original title while remaining true to its highly successful core gameplay dynamics. Along with all new environments, adversaries, mini-games and multiplayer modes, Mercury Meltdown includes a completely redesigned game progression system and structure to make the game more accessible to players of all skill levels.

Even the Blob has had an overhaul and can be used in a number of interesting ways. For Mercury Meltdown, it was important to build upon and enhance the successful gameplay of the first title. One of the more major changes was the Blob itself. By chaning its characteristics and properties, it meant that levels could now offer a whole new experience and challenge while still maintaining the core gameplay of the original title.

In essence it appears to be an image sensor and processor combination which perceives the world in 3D and derives an understanding of the world based on sight, in the same way that humans do. For the Eye Toy application it is expected that the Prime Sense sensor will be used to view the user so that his or her position and movements can be abstracted and then applied to the through-character in a computer game. The device includes a sensor, which sees a user (including their complete surroundings), and a digital component, or brain which learns and understands user movement within those surroundings, according to the Prime Sense Website. Prime Senses interactive device can see, track and react to user movements outside the computer, all without change of environment or wearable equipment for the end user.

In a recent issue of Famitsu, Armored Core 4 has been set for a November release date in Japan, meaning we'll probably get it at about the same time. There will be network support for up to eight people. And the 360 version is still boasting a TBA release date. But what about the game itself? Unlike the other Armored Core titles, this one takes place in a different world.

Think of it as a pre-post-apocalyptic earth, where overpopulation has led to food shortages and lack of resources. You take over your giant robot of destruction and fight other giants of destruction (despite the natural resource dearth. But that's besides the point) as the war which will lead to a post-apocalyptic world starts. The creators say the battles will be the fastest ever seen in a mech game (faster than Zone of Enders? There will be tons of customization, a staple of the series, but there will be a simplified option for beginners. Same goes for mech control. Complicated, but can be automated for beginners.

In all, sounds good. Armored Core 2 was a lot of fun, pick that one up if you want to gauge what to expect (it's cheap if you can find it).

The magazine went on sale today, and of course we have the details and screenshots. There are five new screenshots and small new details. View them below: • Binoculars can be acquired in the game and used at any time • The game features a new rocket launcher • Improved physics, prettier skylines, and far more dynamic lighting • The sea plane returns to Vice City • Time-contextual NPC behaviour (party-goers at night, bums at 5am etc.) • Phil Cassidy can be seen during a loading screen, thus meaning he's back!

• When playing the game, they flew over Diaz's Mansion, the mall, and the Malibu Club • Character models is sharper than that of GTA: Vice City • Pop up is minimal, although still very apparent • As said before, missions will no longer be 'point-to-point A-to-B' drives • Jet ski's handle completely different to the boats of the GTA series • Water is more realistic, and is something that R* wants to take advantage off According to the magazine, the only confirmed cast member is Philip Michael Thomas - the voice of Lance Vance. The magazine also said that Vic is an ex-marine.

This is confusing as according to the first two previews, Vic is still a US Marine and he's currently taking a break in Vice City after leaving for Guantanamo Bay.

One of the earlier PSP Gundam titles is getting a quick sequel. The latest issue of Famitsu has first details on Gundam Battle Royal, a follow up to Gundam Battle Tactics, which was released for the Japanese PSP in September 2005. The game is in development at Bec and Artdink for Japanese release on 10/5.

Battle Royal adds a number of features to the core gameplay of Tactics. The primary improvements appear to be in the area of wireless play. The game offers a battle royal mode for up to four players. Players can also take part in four-player cooperative missions, performing tasks such as hauling cargo and protecting the base. You'll also find new Gundam properties represented through new units and characters.

In addition to Mobile Suits.
