Yashamaru just made a Lua version of the hit classic, Pac-Man. You see, Yashamaru was working on "some old code" for a certain game.

But then the game couldn't use that particular code, so he transcribed it to a Pac-Man ghost instead. One thing lead to another, and now, you have a beta version of Lua Pac Man up for grabs.

What can you expect from this version? Check out the list of features:

When it sets to 333MHz with user mode, when it is dropped into 222MHz mandatorily, because it is thing, in one for 2.80 it tried trying to operate with 300MHz.

• Installing Homebrew in GAME , GAME150 , GAME271.
• Copying Music.
• Installing Devhook.
• Copying Photos (TIFF).
• Fixed a bug (if the files was not transfer ed it said it was transfered)

It seems that many people were having problems with xLoader, the newly-released eLoader's sidekick. Not to worry though, the Noobz

Step-by-step instructions:
crew has given instructions to address most problems which plagued those who didn't check the readme (bad!). Here's all the clarifications directly from the official page.

• Install xLoader, using either the auto-installer, or by following the instructions in the readme.txt file in the ZIP package.
• Install some homebrew - perhaps by using the Installotron, which you can run from eLoader (it doesn't work well in xLoader).
• Use the PatchSFO tool to ensure that your homebrew is ready for xLoader (see below for instructions).
• Now browse to your PSP's photo menu, and open the folder 'xLoader 280'. If everything has worked, you will see 2 file icons, one a round blue circle, the other a 'corrupt data' icon. So long as your PSP hasn't crashed at this point, then xLoader is now running.

Okay, before this post descends into old fart jokes... prolific dev zx-81 decided to do a port of an emu of the Thomson TO7-70 home computer for use with the PSP. The original emu was written by one Sylvain Huet in 1996, and later improved by one Eric Botcazu, for MacOS, Windows, and Unix. zx-81 took the Thom 1.5.5 emu and haxxed it for the PSP as PSPThom v1.0.0.

Heres a video of a group of friends opening the PS3 and if you've been living under a rock for the past year the PS3 was launched by Sony in the USA today!

There are things that just keep getting better with time, right? Take wine for example, it certainly becomes better and sweeter as years go by. We guess the same can be applied to homebrew developers. The last version of PSP Content Manager is already two months old, and as we are all aware of, a lot of things have happened in that short span of time.

The current features include Flash a Gameboot, Flash Font, and Flash 01.bmp. To come in the future are the ability to flash all wallpapers and Flash Dumper. Of course, you already know that applications altering your PSP's Flash may necessarily brick your units if incorrectly used. So again, a warning is called for. This may brick your PSP if used improperly.

As you guys will probably remember, the gpSP concept was Exophase's brainchild. What we have right now is Takka's unofficial version of the said GBA emulator to continue the great work that Exophase started. It may not be his original idea, but heck we gotta give him snaps for not giving up on this nifty work.

Conan-esque backgrounds aside, the site also hosts links to important game-related topics, such as character profiles, maps, and screenshots. The entire site's in Japanese, so you'll either have to put up with the Engrish churned out by Babelfish, or pray that the US release pops up soon. Speaking of releases, this game's only slated for Japan in 2006, with no news on a U.S. release. For now, enjoy the source link, which zips you right to the site.

We have another PSP ad here for you all, except this time, it isn't cryptic, it isn't mysterious, it doesn't befuddle, it doesn't try to make you ponder on the meaning of life, the universe, and everything (besides, we already know the answer to this, right?), and it doesn't involve talking dustballs. What we do have here is a fan-made commercial which was made and uploaded by jazzology2000 over at YouTube, which unlike other PSP ads, tells you exactly what you want to know about the PSP, and actually makes it all look fun.
