Dark Alex Leaves The scene

On it's websites DARK_ALEX announces that:

Bye, scene.

I've decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene.
The reasons are various.
One of them is the time it consumes, which i'm losing from other things.
The other is related to my security. I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers.
I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.

EDIT

mathieulh says about the matter to inherit D_A place:

I can but I wont because 1. I am affraid of Sony as well
2. It is absolutely not fun to code alone.

Thus I do not plan at this time to work on any future OE versions.

So this is pretty much the darkest day for any PSP owner there...

The Magic Battery Finnally Have A Face UPDATE

On the french forum board PSPGEN
a user posted some pics taken from the "supposed to be" legendary magic battery
that will be able to ubrick the PSPs restoring all the informations withouth any harm for the console.
Now real or not, we still can't know, surely the pics are eyecandy.

*UPDATE*
It seems that a PSPGEN user got fun on photoshop and made up those images for see the community reaction, well, he almost got us but the rectangle selections signs around the buttons on the image surely coulded be better handled.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

WEBSITE

A webpage for the just announced PSP title on Suzumiya Haruhi, BANDAI tells the game will be converted for the PSP platform, and has planned the sale during 2007. Price is still undecided.

The game will be played trough the various characters of the successful series and making them conversating creating "situations", the company is not worried about the "so called" small market of the sony Handled console, since it's experimenting new systems and the PSP itself is one from their point of view.

Can't wait for more informations and maybe screenies.

Suicide Barbie by The Black Lotus

Finnaly the homebrew scene is shaking again like crazy,
this is a cool project from the The Black Lotus and is basically a music video all made on a PSP 3D engine and I surely
suggest you to give it a shot!


Here it is the instructions for run it on you OE PSP
(If you have a plain 1.50 just get the first file one)

1) download these 2 files:
1
2

2) extract them and put the "unofficial_suicide_barbie_fix.zip" two folders in PSP\GAME150 (don't do this if you are in 1.50 and not a OE firmware)

3) rename the "Barbiedemo" folder as "demotest"

4) create a folder named "data" in you root and put "demotest" inside it
(so it wil lbe like this ms0:data/demotest/ )

5) start you psp and enjoy

Here how it will lool like, but I suggest to play it on your PSP,
you surely will understand why.
