Check out the PSPFlash-Card application for the PSP from HardHat. This is a nifty little utility that will simulate flash cards for memorization exercises. We like homemade applications like this, because they’re usually designed by people who actually have a need for the utility. It’s intriguing to see people taking advantage of the PSP for learning-related functionalities, even if they don’t necessarily utilize the system’s powerful visual and audio capabilities.

Users can load the first set of cards with information, such as words or phrases, and conceal one side while trying to remember the appropriate match. It works just like flash cards in real life, except it’s on your PSP, which makes it infinitely cooler. It might trick you into finding that you’re having fun while you do things like learn foreign languages, memorize scientific equations, get a grip on anatomy, and stuff the entire human genome into your brain. Find this great application for free download online.

Yep. It seemed like a good premise: mashing together some of that nostalgic, collectible card game fun with a turn-based strategy game. We remember how much of a good time it was to lay out some cards and tap them and put counters on them and stuff, and, heck, some of us are still doing it. Too bad it didn’t really work out in this game; Neverland Card Battles is stuck somewhere between the idea and actually creating a game that’s fun to play and has some coherency.

The graphics in this game suck. We know they’re cute and kind of retro, but they’re just lazy. The storyline is kind of cool, or at least it’s solid enough to hold our attention long enough to comment on the gameplay. It’s a typical, anime-influenced, timeless battle of epicness and heroes and quests.

Actually, the game itself is more like a board game with card game elements. Strategy fans might like it. It might even translate into an interesting tabletop game, with cute, die-cast figures and some clickable plastic bases. But, as a PSP game, it’s just lame. For some reason, the developers really cheaped out on the implementation. Even the audio is dumb. Try it out for yourself, though. Maybe we’re not seeing the trees for the forest.

Check out the newest addition to the Lumines series if you’re a fan of the tune-based brain-cruncher for the PSP. This time, it’s on the PS3, it looks great, and its audio is simply terrific.

Gameplay, as with the other titles in the series, is straightforward: mash four or more blocks of the same color together and they’ll disappear. Everything is synchronized with the background music. Stay alive and keep playing, and you’ll discover why you love to waste time making shapes disappear.

There’s a couple of modes available for your puzzle-loving pleasure. There’s also an awesome Sequencer mode built into the game that lets you fool around with some loops and rock out a little bit. Definitely an easy way to relax in front of the flat-screen and waste a few leisurely minutes.

Tons of skins and musical themes accompany the game, as is to be expected. You’ll definitely be satisfied with the selection. There’s plenty of ear candy here for the whole family, and you’ll have a good time mixing it all up at your discretion. Double thumbs up on Lumines Supernova.

Yep, it’s time for another quick rundown of something you might already know how to do. It’s good to have a refresher, though, and it’s also polite to let the newcomers learn a few new tricks. Today our topic is: Transferring movies from your computer to your PSP.

The first thing you’ll need to do is make sure the file is in the right format. You’ll need to convert your videos from whatever they’re in to start into the MP4 format, which is what the PSP can handle.

Movie files on the PSP follow a pretty regular naming format: They begin with the letters M4V, followed by five digits, and they finish with a .MP4 extension. For instance: M4V01093.MP4 is a valid file name.

Pick up a free MP4 converter on the Internet, and you’ll be ready to go. Just do a quick search to find one, or try a few out until you’re comfortable with the software.

So, let’s move the new .MP4 file onto your PSP. Here we go! Just connect the PSP to the PC. Wait until the memory stick icon pops up on your computer. Open it up and create a new folder named MP_ROOT. Inside that folder, create another folder named 100MNV01. Then, copy your .MP4 files from your hard drive to the MP_ROOT/100MNV01/ folder. That’s it! Should work like a breeze, and you’ll get the hang of it fast.

Check out some great new screen grabs of the forthcoming game, Resistance Retribution, set to release for PSP later this year. Developed by Insomniac Games, this action shooter promises to deliver a ton of blood-curdling visuals and an eerie, engrossing plotline that’ll have genre fans on the edge of their seat.

The game follows a European conflict, with a Royal Navy Lieutenant as one of the protagonists, and some other new characters as well. The game also interfaces with the PS3 to maximize the immersive elements and to encourage expandability, as well as for the convenience of utilizing a large screen and a real controller.

The graphics look terrific, and we hear that there’s a lot of surprises to uncover for fans of the series. Action nerds, stay tuned.

A third-party website is joining the effort to promote mobile media content on the PSP. Mojocafe, found at http://www.mojocafe.net, lets users register with an e-mail address and then access a few online widgets for the PSP. Current applications include calendars, news feed, video feed, weather updates, and city-related visual and text-based information.

The website is now geared towards the PSP browser, from which on-the-go surfers can access the website and key in their PIN. This could get exciting in the next couple of months, with new applications and features being added as the user base expands. We’ll keep an ear to the ground on new developments.

We just got a peek at a nice piece of custom code for your PSP that simulates a guitar and drum set-up for some spare-time jamming. You can actually sort of step program the thing, and view your composition as a skeletal score. Fans of Modplug will love this application. Step sequencing on the PSP is also very attractive to women and will probably score you a new lady on your arm to show off to your mom. Anyway, check out this application before you decide to blow your money on a real piece of instrument and a month’s worth of mandolin classes.

Save and load features have been added to the current build, and the program will automatically keep track of your play time. Also, since there’s only a standard acoustic and synthesizer kit included with the package, there’s support for additional sound sets; the program will look for custom sounds in the Sounds/Drums/ directory. Fool with it at leisure, but expect some intermittent crashing, at least at first.

You’ll have some fun jamming on the drums and actually strumming the guitar. The graphics are pretty cute, just about appropriate for a homebrew. Props to the developer, Blade_punk, for this sweet little application.

Blade_punk’s Rock Station for the PSP. Jam and compose your own beats using the integrated Guitar & Drum simulator.

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? Yup. That’s the title of a new drop from NIS America, an action game based on the familiar, suffering penguin-things from the Disgaea serial.

So, you’re a Prinny. You’re a penguin that can wield swords. That’s the foundation of the game. The rest of it follows through like a classic platform jumper as you jump, slash, double jump, and supermove your way through enemies and bosses. The catch, though, is that the game is super hard, so you get 1,000 lives. That’s a far cry from the three-dudes-is-never-enough days of Contra (without the cheats).

We hear the game looks good, with eye-popping colors and fluid animations. Even the music should get you hooked, as if blowing up 1,000 penguins wasn’t cool enough. Keep your eyes on this one. Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? is expected to release on 2/17/2009.

Well, we’ve been keeping an eye on the chatter surrounding MaTiAz and his discovery of the GripShift exploit. It’s circulating as the “Sparta” exploit, due to the name being used in the original overwrite. Anyway: There’s no custom firmware out yet, but you can start kicking around the SDK that MaTiAz used to create a new homebrew “Hello World” token demo.

Fingers crossed for subsequent kernel mode access – we’ll keep you updated as the Internet gets hot about it. For now, this is a usermode exploit. Sony will definitely be taking steps to get in the way of this new find, but for now, it’s open game.

FAQ
—

A: Because the original exploit was found by overwriting the player name with “this is sparta”.

Q: Can/Will Sony block this?
A: Yes.

Q: I wanna make homebrew using the exploit. How?
A: Get FreePlay’s GS SDK: http://tinyurl.com/sparta-sdk. It has some constraints though, check the readme. The Hello World was written with it.
