You might have noticed our PSP forum was down. But for a good reason, as we have just switched over to Vbulletin from SMF. While SMF was good it was just lacking some of the features VB has. Anyway the new forum is up and has moved to its new location http://forums.pspslimhacks.com/

The shoutbox has also made a comeback.

Our new look.

As you can see we have launched our new unique look. This has been about 6 weeks in the making, we hope you like the new look and feel. Please be patient as we “tweak” the theme to match the existing content. Many thanks to the design team @ AzureLimit for there work. Its our 4th theme I think, but this one is here to stay.

On another note we have also upgraded to a new top of the line server. Hopefully your PSH experience is a lot faster now! As we have double the Ram and CPU power now.

Dark_Alex's fix for the PSX error in 5.00 M33

Dark_Alex has posted a solution to users who are experiencing error 0xFFFFFFFF while trying to load PSX games.

This is a bug in M33 code that is caused sometimes with certain icons.
I’m not gonna bother do an update only for this but I’ll post the file that fixes this for anyone wanting to fix it manually replacing the file.

This also fixes document.dat not working.

There is also a work around either by use the original command line PSX conversion tool or you can just select the “Old Default” icon in the options in PSX2PSP.

Dark_Alex has supplied these mirrors for the fixed popcorn.prx

Its official Sony announced the PSP-3000

Didn’t take Sony too long now did it, the PSP-3000 has been officially announced at Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig. Sony president David Reeves announced that PSP-3000 will go on sale this October, starting on the 15th, it will have a price of 199€ and will be a bundle pack including a 4gb memory card plus a game. The standalone PSP-3000 will be priced at $169 and will be out later this year.

The new model is *just* a hardware refresh, it has a built-in microphone, an enhanced LCD screen with significantly less glare and more vibrant colors. Its also sports a smoother design and look over the PSP Slim. Unfortunatly thats it, no hard-drive, no 65nm CPU or increased battery life it seems or any of our wishes. I guess that will happen in the PSP2 ?

Click read more for the official announcement.

Leipzig Games Convention, 20th August 2008: “For the times they are a-changin” were the opening words today from David Reeves, President, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) as he made his opening address at the Leipzig Games Convention. With a focus firmly on new and innovative titles, products and the European games market he commented: “You will see technology that has never been seen before and you will be introduced to products and games that will not only be coming first to Europe but global initiatives announced first in Europe.”

Reeves started with the continued development of the PlayStation® product family into the ultimate entertainment suite with the launch of PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) 3000 model PSP-3000 will be available as a bundle, including one software title for a RRP of 199€. Confirming total PSP sales of 13.4 million units in the PAL territories., PSP 3000 will sit alongside the highly successful PSP Slim and Lite and, in response to consumer feedback, will feature an enhanced screen along with an in-built microphone. Coupled with Go!Messenger and Skype™, PSP 3000 sets out to establish PSP as a great communications device and an essential tool for those on the go.

Confirming latest sales figures for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) of over 5.8 million units in the PAL territories. Reeves also confirmed the arrival of 80GB PS3 this week and, reflecting the growing entertainment market for SCEE, a limited edition 160GB PS3 scheduled for 31st October for a RRP of €449 in a bundle including additional PLAYSTATION®Network content. Reeves pitched the 160GB model at “those of you out there with an insatiable thirst for downloadable content and an unquenchable need for storage space”.

Building on the theme of content Reeves revealed that the latest research showed that music was, after gaming, the second most popular feature on PS3 and went on to announce a new music video streaming service courtesy of VidZone. The service would appear on the XrossMediaBar and allow users to stream their favourite videos on PS3 free of charge or download them to a mobile phone for a small fee.

Reeves also announced a partnership with Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) to publish and distribute three new massive multiplayer online games for PS3.

With Germany one of SingStar®’s biggest markets, Reeves took the opportunity to update the many fans of the franchise. New firmware will enable users to play tracks from their SingStar PlayStation®2 releases on PS3, and additions to the franchise will launch later this year including SingStar Singalong With Disney on PlayStation 2, Reeves also confirmed that SingStar Volume III would include some major artists featuring on SingStar for the first time including Michael Jackson. In addition, Reeves announced the launch of downloadable song packs from SingStore, beginning with two packs from the ever popular Queen.

Next on the agenda was the introduction of EyePet. Developed by the studio that created SingStar and EyeToy, Eye Pet uses PLAYSTATION®Eye to create a loveable, simian-like pet that lives in your sitting room as captured second by second on your TV. Working in ‘Augmented Reality’, EyePet is fully aware of people in the room and it will interact with you and its environment – ideal for families looking for a new entertainment experience.

Reeves concluded by welcoming David Cage of Quantic Dream on stage to talk about one of the platform’s most highly anticipated titles, Heavy Rain. An industry first, the presentation hammered home the evolution of PlayStation. An interactive thriller, Heavy Rain uses the power of PS3 to let you really control, rather than just watch the story said Reeves. It will evoke themes never used in games before, and is one of the pillar titles for SCEE next year.

Reeves’ conclusion set the scene for an exciting year ahead. “The only first we now care about is that PlayStation is the first choice for gaming and entertainment fans and we are fully prepared to continue the challenge of convincing them.”

PSP-3000 is real, FCC listing proves this

Looks like the PSP-3000 rumors are indeed true as a FCC listing confirms that Sony is working on the new PSP-3000 model. This doesn’t however confirm the PSP-3000 spy photos released earlier are true or not. But it does confirm that Sony do have the new model in the works.

PSP-3001

So when will Sony break the silience and publicly confirm the unit as well as let us know the new specs? We can only hope that Sony will finally add some decent battery life to the new unit as well as maybe 802/g wifi, built-in mic + video cam and a internal flash drive? Is that that too much to ask for?

The new TA-088 Motherboard/CPU issue has been examined, and DA is working on it!  The problem seems to base from not just the new motherboards, but the new CPU’s being installed.  Some TA-088s can be flashed, so it’s kind of a gamble at this point.  Dark_Alex has stated that the problem has to do with the core of Despretar Cementario runs off of 1.50/3.40, something that evidently the new CPU’s can’t handle.  A new version of Despretar Cementario will not be realeased until they have remade the Core.

More on this issue and the quote from Alek himself will be found after the read more tag

Alek says:

As you might have already seen, there are some mobos (TA-088 ones, slim models) in where the IPL used for Despertar del Cementerio, Pandora and Time Machine therefore, doesn’t work.

IPL can be still run from the Memory Stick, but just those that are signed by Sony, and not the ones that contain a different signature; a problem that will probably block the actual way of running your cfw’s, as you couldn’t even load on this NANDs the custom IPLs with different signature.

Even though, IPL is not the problem, but probably the mixed kernel of 1.50&&3.40, and it will be the best option to use a new kernel on Despertar del Cementerio future versions.

So, to sum up, new Dc version will not be released till the new Core and interface is finished. Please be patient

So there you have it folks, the new DC will be created, but not until they do some serious changes to it.

Hehe, anyways the Playstation store has updated the prices for the Canadian store because the Americans are entering a recessing and because we are selling them our oil from the sands in Alberta… which is completely destroying the environment… rants aside, we get equal pricing because our dollar is owning.
