If you have been waiting for the an update of the GBA emulator for PSP, then today is your lucky day! Thanks to pspitalia, we now have details of this new version of GBA emulator.

The GBA Emulator, for those of you who does not know, is the Game Boy Advance Emulator especially created for PSP. It is amended and improved by an unknown Japanese coder and developed by Takka gpSP. Unfortunately, because the changelog is in Japanese, I can’t really try and uncode it for you regarding the new features that are included in the pack.

Surely though, there’s an improvement on the stability genereale emulator, which is the most challenging part of creating an emulator. But since I cannot give you the app’s complete changelog, you may have to personally try it and holler below for comments and violent reactions.

But if someone would be willing to translate the changelog, I’ll surely post it here as soon as I can.

Yoshihiro, a popular homebrew maker and member of team GENyUS, has just released a homebrew utility wherein you can play PSP games on a custom firmware requiring the latest firmware updates.  

This release installs the official firmware 6.00, custom firmware 5.50 GEN-B2 on any PSP flashable, any official firmware and can convert Kit Despertar del Cementerio V8 kit XGEN Pandora to flash any PSP2000 and PSP1000 directly to 5.50GEN-B2. 

This second version has the following features:

* XGen Updater:

   – Changing the location of “Flash install CFW 5.50 GEN-B2, which is now in the forefront of the menu

   – Support Official Firmware 6.0 and added a test tool for the latest encryption keys Sony

   – The VSH Menu has been corrected for Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B2

* XGen Pandora : Changing the location of “Flash install CFW 5.50 GEN-B2, which is now in the forefront of the menu

   – The VSH Menu has been corrected for Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B2

   – One option for the test kit Despertar del Cementerio V8 that will get you started on the M33 firmware from your memory card 

The difference between these two utilities is that XGen Updater will directly install the Custom Firmware 5.50 GEN-B2 on the console while the Pandora XGen will update the kit Despertar del Cementerio v8 to install it on 5.50 GEN-B2 when used (instead of 5.00M 33).

I haven’t exactly played the Chicken Invaders for the PC, but I saw my friend play this one time and I was thrilled to know how simple and time-consuming it is. Perfect to wile away my hours.

The Chicken Invaders is a simple game where all you have to do is gun down the flying chickens and catch the fried chicken, which they will become once they are gunned down by you. Pretty sneaky right? This version for the PSP is not exactly like the PC version, although the creator, Kairus101, is trying to copy the exact version of the PC.

After downloading, place the Chicken Invaders folder under X:/PSP/GAME/ to install the game. You will need a custom firmware in order for Chicken Invaders to work.

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this new update from the JPCSP team, and to prove my point, here’s the changelog for this revised application:

- r1128 Changed screenshot file nomenclature: Screenshots are now saved as “[Game Code]-Shot-[Numerical tag].png”. If the game code isn’t present (homebrew case), [Game Code] becomes “JPCSP”.

- r1127 Fix for the display bug

- r1126 Implemented basic sceKernelReferSystemStatus()

- r1125 Fix for Iron Man game: expects sceKernelMaxFreeMemSize() to be rounded to multiple of 16 bytes

- r1124 Avoid ConcurrentModificationException

The JPCSP v0.3 Revision 1128 is a PSP Java emulator for Windows, meaning this could help converting those in Java format to a format that could be used in a PSP supporting a Windows format.

There aren’t a lot of bug fixes in this update, but it’s still worth the download since it does offer a better version of this application.

The Open Menu PSP is intended for homebrew developers who willingly create ingenious applications and games for us Playstation Portable gamers. This application allows developers to easily debug and create and customize homebrew menu to the fullest. It can leave behind even the “smallest of footprints.”

Developers can easily re-create the homebrew applications or games they have released before, and incorporate the Open Menu PSP on them. But more importantly, they can create new applications that will make use of the Open Menu PSP.

Visit the Google Code Project Page if you want to get hold of the source code and up-to-date binaries of the application. Download the app below, and try it out. I’m sure new and budding (even seasoned) developers would see the importance of having the Open Menu PSP.

This homebrew application is a custom firmware plugin for M33 that lets you assign key combinations to launch applications from your XMB. It configures shortcuts.conf so you can assign almost all your homebrew applications, making it easy for you to launch them once you need them.

It handles ISO/CSO games or UMD games and even pops games to any combinations you choose. From the XMB, you can enter those combinations and trigger the application to start. There’ll be no need to navigate through the XMB.

Here’s how to install this plugin:

1. Download the package

2. Extract them to your ms0:/seplugins folder

3. Read the notes in shortcuts.conf file (this is very important otherwise you will not get it to work if not configured correctly) and configure/assign keys to your apps/games.

4. Put this like in your vsh.txt ms0:/seplugins/homebrew_shortcuts.prx 1

5. Push the buttons and watch your homebrew run

Just like the shortcut buttons in your laptops and mobile phones, this plugin would make navigating through your applications easier.

Homebrew coder bosshunter released this iR patch for all custom firmware enablers out there. This is a patch that facilitates ISO/PXS support, and also improved the iR Shell stability (no more annoying bugs). But first, according to the maker, you have to take note of these following things:

1. The full extent of this patch only works on firmware 5.03 with CFWE 3.50 and below. CFWE 3.60 fails loading PSX titles while ISOs continue working just fine. So use accordingly.

2. Use at your own risk; this patch touches a file in flash0 that’s installed by CFWE.

3. If something goes wrong while the PRX patches the necessary files, reinstall CFWE and try again.

Here’s how to use the iR Shell Patch:

1. Make sure you have:

- iR Shell 5.0 installed;

- A fresh install of CFWE;

- The plugins loaded by game.txt are disabled;

- Replaced the IRSHELL folder with the one provided.

2. Run iR Shell.

3. Open Directory View and go to ms0:/IRSHELL/PATCH/5.03/.

4. Run btcnfpatch.prx.

5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

6. Wait a few seconds. You should see the screenshot above if it’s successful.

7. Re-enable your game.txt plugins.

And for those who are using custom firmware 5.50 GEN-A, you can also expect a patch to be released soon. But so far, we have this quite unique patch for the PSP’s other CFWEnablers so grab the chance to download it and see how it magically transform your handhelds.

Homebrew coder PwnedTyler has issued two new themes for us–the Project14Xa And ProjectResistance. Both are in the format of CTF for 5.50, so I’m hoping we won’t have that much problem with installing and using it.

Project14Xa features a never-before-seen custom opening plugin, edited black PSN background, custom Hack ‘n Slash gameboot (courtesy of highboy), different keyboard clicks and a cool XMB wave.

Meanwhile, ProjectResistance has invisible icons with skull focus, invisible speaker bar and icon, custom opening plugin, custom gameboot and different XMB wave. It, however, has no PSP logo during gameboot.

So there you are, two themese for you to choose from. As usual, see first the readme file before installing such, and make sure you’ve got the right amount of memory and specs to make these themes work.
