While we’re still eagerly awaiting the launch of the game stateside, check out the preview screens of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep that dropped at the Tokyo Game Show last October. Square Enix has been hard at work on lots of epic graphics and audio for this game, and our heads have been exploding with anticipation of the final drop.

From the trailer, we could at least discern the primary antagonist, Maleficent. We learned that the main player-driven character is a dude named Terra, and this is his first appearance in the Kingdom Hearts realm.
There’s lots of new bad guys and new move executions to try out. Standard keyblade moves follow through with the circle button; blocking is controlled by the square button. X, of course, is still the jump.

The game looks great, but we’re still waiting on an exact release date. The PSP underground is literally tearing their eyeballs out waiting for this epic title to finally release, so don’t soil your jimmies: we’ll keep you posted on new dates as they drop.

If you haven’t already, make sure you’ve checked iR Shell by underworld hackninja AhMan. The current version works with the extra memory available to the PSP Slim, and also addresses a few bugs that were terrorizing earlier versions. Here’s the unabridged change log:

New Features for PSP Slim:

• Added support to homebrews that are built with the option PSP_LARGE_MEMORY, that is, to use the extra slim memory. When running these homebrews under iR Shell, they will have access to another 26MB slim RAM. Pls note 2MB of slim RAM is reserved for iR Shell.
• Enhance the HTML Viewer (originally developed by Dark_AleX) to use the extra slim memory. These should help to reduce “Not enough memory” message when accessing larger web contents. The HTML Viewer can be accessed via predefined homebrew #1 icon.

Bug Fixes:

• Some homebrews weren’t correctly recognized by iR Shell and application names were displayed as garbage.
• When setting np9660 mode in iR Configurator, some homebrews failed to launch.
• Launching PS1 games via popsloader wasn’t working properly.
• Copying a large file from ms0: to nethost0: will crash the system.

You’ll still need to download v4.7, since this is just a minor update, so grab that here, too.

The Despertar del Cementerio tool, developed by underground homebrew legend Dark_AleX, is now available as version 8. Users can now create MMS sticks that go directly to 5.00 M33-4. This will not work with the PSP-3000 or on anything with the TA-088v3 motherboard, so too bad, for all y’all three-thou’ers who had your fingers crossed.

Mad props to Dark AleX for staying savvy with the hardware interface software, and thanks for all his hard work and devotion to the scene. Show him some respect on the boards.

CES showed off a new application on the PSP that transforms it into a Wi-Fi remoter control that can handle networked audio streams from the Sony-brand audio receiver.

With the application, users can adjust settings, set up and oversee playlists, and browse audio libraries right on the PSP. The XMB drives the interface in the standard implementation.

They’re still beta-testing this, so the public release hasn’t necessarily been promised for any specific date. Other software has tried out the notion of a remote control on the PSP, but hopefully this one will take advantage of the collective knowledge to produce an application that’s ready for prime time. More news as it drops.

The MacroFire plugin, developed by the homebrew code samurai known as “pen”, has been updated to version 2.4.1. This is a multi-functional plugin that does things like remap buttons, changes the analog stick’s sensitivity, and implements a rapid-fire mode.

Unfortunately, you need to know Japanese to understand the technical stuff of the plugin, as that’s what the readme’s written in. Run it through a translator to get a gist of the functionalities.

The following changes have been made to the plugin in this version:

• macrofire.ini new “AlternativeButtons” “Remap” “Rapidfire” “Macro” section added. Manual_ini.txt more information.
• Analog stick to adjust the menu to add a new option Analog stick movement.
• Adjustment in the analog stick, Deadzone fix was the wrong formula was used to determine.
• With the correction formula, Deadzone radius of the analog stick to adjust the maximum value of 182 percent.
• Range of motion in the adjustment range and disable the analog stick, to show the figure to make the visual and adjusted the position of the current position.

Mad props to pen for putting out this excellent homebrew application.

Square Enix has finally launched the website for the Fabula Nova Crystallis series, so start pumping your fists in the air and getting all sweaty. If you can read Japanese, there’s a bunch of stuff to read about the games. Slog through with a translator if you have to – there’s bound to be some interesting stuff in the mix. Final Fantasy freaks will love some of the images that you can find on the website.

Yep, that’s right. The PSP-3000 is being seen in two hot new colors over there, where all the toys are louder and more awesome. The Hong Kong and Taiwan double-drop is labeled the “Carnival Colors” series, and the first two appearances will be an awesome crystal blue, and a gnarly, mega-thermal red.  They’ll be rolling out on 1/15 in HK, and two days later in Taiwan. Lucky blokes, them.

We’re hearing from the grapevine that the data geeks at the super-secret underground research laboratory have discovered how to cram two full terabytes of memory onto a single Memory Stick. This is fantastic news. Sony and SanDisk together will develop the first prototype of the new, ultra-dense Stick.

Whatever they cook up, the initial release will come in as a new release for the Memory Stick PRO. Larger formats for the Memory Stick Series are included in the mix.

Current technology oversees PRO memory sticks that hold only 32 or 64 GB of data. That’s a paltry bunch of nooks and crannies compared to the cavernous, gaping caves of storage found in the singularity -sized terabyte sticks that are glimpsed, spectrally, on the horizon.

Besides that, the hardware itself should be essentially unchanged; pin-count is the same, transfer speeds won’t change, etc. Also, the fresh stuff will still support MagicGate and Access Control Function.

Word from the street is that there’s a Sony and SanDisk drop looming that involves a brand-new format, calling itself the Memory Stick HG Micro. We hear of transfer speeds of up to 60 megabytes per second. That’s a ton of information in the blink of an eye. We’ve got an ear to the ground as more of this fascinating stuff drops. Stay tuned.

The developer BenHur has dropped an update to the dazzling PSP font library, intraFont. A bunch of stuff has been added to the mix, including:

• added support for UTF-8 string parsing (thanks to NexTOS)
• added support for codepages (conversion of extended ascii to unicode depending on source)
• added column printing with automatic linebreaks – no need to worry about overwriting parts of the screen or printing outside the screen anymore
• added full justification (flush left&right) for column printing
• various optimizations related to UCS2 conversion (thanks to StrmnNrmn)
• added functions to print/measure the first n chars of a string (thanks to StrmnNrmn)

Check out the download, and definitely view the readme if you want more details from the fontmaster himself.
